Speaker 1: us whatever platform, it is part of your day. I am,

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: you know, j Mac. Sometimes you're watching history and you

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: understand it. I remember being a kid and watching Hank

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: Aaron break Babe Bruce record with a home run Fulton

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: County Stadium in Atlanta. And other times you're watching history

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: and you're not necessarily aware of it because it's not

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: just statistics. You are watching something that really we've maybe

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: never seen. And I felt that watching Josh Allen last night,

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: and that's where I'm going to start the show today.

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: So if you didn't watch last night's game, the easiest

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: way I would describe, it is the team with the

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: less talented quarterback that makes more mistakes lost to the

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: team that has the much more talented quarterback that makes

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: no mistakes. The Bills last night scored thirty one points

26
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: and had no turnovers, second team in league history to

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: start the season with three straight games thirty plus points

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: zero turnovers. Josh Allen, through hard work and coaching, has

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: eliminated his only flaw, reckless. And what's remarkable is my

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: entire life. I said this on the air many times.

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: It's the one thing I didn't think coaches could mostly

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: coach you out of because anybody I ever met in

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: high school that was reckless at seventeen, if I saw

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: him again thirty years later, they were reckless at forty seven.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: I always thought it was a DNA thing. I always

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: thought it was just kind of a personality thing. Reckless

37
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: guy early is reckless guy at fifty five years old.

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: And it shows you how humble and also how self

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: aware Josh Allen is. Since the start of last season,

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: forty eight touchdowns with Josh Allen eight giveaways, the Bills

41
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: have not lost the turnover battle in a season and

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: a half twenty five games. I mean, and he doesn't

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: play favorites. Everybody eats nine different guys caught passes. I

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: mean I loved Andrew luck and we all love Brett Farr.

45
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: You couldn't get the reckless out of them. I mean

46
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford the year he won the Super Bowl with

47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the Rams, did you know he led the NFL in interceptions?

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Eli Manning twice, beat Tom Brady three times. He led

49
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: the NFL in picks. So I've always loved guys like

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: Elway who's aggressive, and Peyton Manning that's aggressive. But you

51
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: can't you can't eliminate the interceptions. To have this much

52
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: talent and horsepower, and Josh is the biggest, strongest, best arm.

53
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: To have all this horse power and yet be willing

54
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: to put on restricter plates is insane. You are watching history.

55
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: This makes absolutely no sense. I mean the quarterbacks that

56
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: we all love, we love the gunslinger part. And then

57
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen came into the league, and he was a

58
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: bit of a gunslinger, but smart enough, humble enough, self

59
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: aware enough realizing that's not the sport. Brady and Mahomes

60
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: didn't throw picks, and so Josh Allen with all that horsepower,

61
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: with that V twelve engine. It's like, now I'm gonna

62
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: go electric. I'm not gonna do that. So he's like

63
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: similar to a prodigious home run hitter that changed his swing,

64
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: doesn't hit the ball quite as far, but now doesn't

65
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: strike out. Twenty twenty five. Josh Allen shouldn't exist. You

66
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: should not be that gifted, that fast, that talented jump

67
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: over linebackers. Yeah, he never throws interceptions because usually I mean,

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, if you have a great voice, you're singing

69
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: in the car, you're singing in the shower, you may

70
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: be singing professionally, you want to show it off. Usually

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: six six guys with that engine and that ability, I mean,

72
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: they are letting it rip. Josh get You get all

73
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the upside and you get none of the downside. I mean,

74
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: listen to this. His last twelve games, including the playoffs,

75
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: thirty total touchdowns, one pick that makes no sense. His

76
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: ability to control, you know, have the discipline to not

77
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna let it rip and throw it through

78
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: that coverage is unbelievable. And last night it may not

79
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: be its visually impressive, but he is so much sure now,

80
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: he is so thoughtful, he is so paced but you

81
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: still get the big engine. And he talked about like

82
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: last night, you're like, oh, why why isn't Buffalo putting

83
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: them away? It's a different Buffalo team. The previous iteration

84
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: of Buffalo was scoring thirty five points. They couldn't beat

85
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs like it was winning a lot. It wasn't

86
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: winning the games that mattered. To win the games that matter,

87
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: you can't turn it over. Gott to pull back the

88
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: horsepower a little bit. Here's Josh after.

89
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: I think there's obviously times throw games where the situation

90
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: dictates you to maybe put the get the pedal down

91
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: a little bit more, and there's sometimes where it's like, hey,

92
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 3: just take it easy, relax. I wouldn't say played the

93
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: long game, but just understanding where you're at, you know,

94
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: within the situation of the game, and not trying to

95
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: force anything. You know, we saw that tonight, just kind

96
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: of staying same as calm as possible, you know, and

97
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: just being prepared for any situation that we were going

98
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: to be in.

99
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: They look a little bit more like Philadelphia, don't they.

100
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: They just kind of squeeze you, squeeze you and squeeze

101
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: you and eventually win the turnover battle. And make two

102
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: or three big plays late. That doesn't mean Josh can't

103
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: be a superhero. He can't went on the Cape, but

104
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: he is right now. This is a super Bowl team.

105
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't love their defense, but not every Brady team

106
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: had a great defense. You remember that Nick Foles super Bowl.

107
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean not every team that gets to that game

108
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: has a great defense. We all have to give a

109
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: little once you pay the quarterback a lot of money.

110
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: But what you're seeing now feels like a super Bowl

111
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: winning team. So smart horsepower without the mistakes. So I

112
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: was I was reading a tweet this morning from Mike Renner.

113
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: He said, the tragic thing going forward for the Dolphins

114
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: is that Tua's cap number is higher than Josh Allen's

115
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: the next four years. I think you could there's ways

116
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: to lower that. You could, you know, you restructure it,

117
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: you could cut him whatever. But it is interesting watching

118
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: two A last night, is that NFL general managers got

119
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: into this weird space for about ten years where they

120
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: convinced themselves size doesn't matter for quarterbacks. From twenty seventeen

121
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: or twenty twelve to twenty twenty three, Russell Wilson, Johnny

122
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Manziel to a Bryce Young, Kyler Murray. Yeah, how are

123
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: they all doing well? What about Jalen Hurts? The Eagles

124
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: throw the ball less than every team in the league

125
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: since the by last year they throw even less. The

126
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: organization is telling you, yeah, we don't want our smaller

127
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: quarterback having to look over six to seven offensive a

128
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: lineman and throw. We're gonna throw about twenty three times

129
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: a game. We're gonna roll a mountain throw. Even when

130
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: we throw it's not downfield now, it's a slant here,

131
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: a slant there. So don't give me Jalen Hurts. The

132
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Eagles have moved off him, becoming a traditional pocket quarterback.

133
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: You want to know who is winning a lot of

134
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: games right now? Big tall Justin Herbert and Mahomes and

135
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: Allen and Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson and Golf and

136
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow. Yes, offensive lineman now are

137
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: six seven and a half. Regularly, size is always mattered.

138
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is the exception. He is the outlier. He

139
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: is the only small quarterback who had sustained greatness for

140
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: fifteenth great years. And Sean Payton was some of that,

141
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: but mostly he was the most obsessed with accuracy quarterback

142
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: of my life, Drew Brees is the outlier. Size didn't

143
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: matter that much. But when I watched two in Josh Allen,

144
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: every single time I watched them, I always think the

145
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: same thing. And when they play each other on the

146
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: same field, Y'ah'm gonna take the bigger, stronger guy to

147
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: a smaller doesn't have a big arm. Don't want him

148
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: in windy weather. You got to protect him. So I mean,

149
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: I guess again the thing that size matters in all sports.

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you could probably have a six eleven and

151
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: a half jockey, but it would look weird and doesn't

152
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: feel right on that horse. I think your quarterbacks have

153
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: to be about six to one up. I'm sorry, I'll

154
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: take the bigger, stronger guy. And by the way, Tua's

155
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: record against winning teams in his career as ten and twenty.

156
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Those winning teams overwhelmingly have bigger, stronger quarterbacks with better arms.

157
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: So there's a reason boxing in UFC have weight categories.

158
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: So it's nothing against to it. But I think that

159
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: interception he threw he's been playing football for too long

160
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, at Alabama and Miami. I think that interception

161
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: he throw to that linebacker. Honestly, I don't think he

162
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: saw him. Here's Tua on that game ceiling interception by

163
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: the Bills.

164
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 4: I thought I was in rhythm and timing of the play,

165
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 4: seeing the flat defender go over the top of Jalen.

166
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: Jalen's turning around. I think that was really good play

167
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: by the defender. And you know, had had some color

168
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: in my face trying to maneuver the the throw as well.

169
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: But I.

170
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: Ten out of ten times if we're looking at that

171
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: same thing, you know, I think I'd still try to

172
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: work that timing of hitting that that spot. And I

173
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: think the linebacker made a great play on that.

174
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't I think he threw it right to him

175
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: because he didn't see him. That was not a great play.

176
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: It was thrown right to him. And there's things I

177
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: like about to h but don't tell me. Size doesn't

178
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: matter jockey's quarterbacks. I want one small, one big, just

179
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: the way it is, Jamact. I think one of the

180
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: more interesting games this weekend Blazing five to fifty minutes

181
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: from now. I like mine pigs Well, I liked him

182
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: last week. I think one of the more interesting games,

183
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be a shootout is

184
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Bears. It's going to be really,

185
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: really entertaining because neither one of these defenses has their

186
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: act together. Jalen Johnson, I think is still out for

187
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: the Bears, their best corner. And when you let go

188
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: of Micah, I mean, we've seen Micah has added to

189
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: the Packers. You eliminate him from the Cowboys and you

190
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: don't get as consistent the playmaking off the edge. So

191
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: I am fascinated by the Cowboys and the Bears, and

192
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I've got I've got The Bears don't have to win,

193
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: but I will have a definitive opinion Sunday night if

194
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: something doesn't happen. Yeah, I'm sure.

195
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 5: Hey to go back to that Tua interception real quick.

196
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if they can roll the footage, but

197
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: Colin something you didn't discuss. If you watch the right

198
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 5: guard on that play, he gets destroyed at the line

199
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 5: of scrimmage by ninety six. Tua has zero time at

200
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 5: all to analyze anything. He's got under a second if

201
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 5: you watch that swim move, and so he's got to

202
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: make his first read and of course the linebacker read it.

203
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: I actually, if you watch it, I don't think that

204
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 5: plays totally on Tua. I know it's tough to defend

205
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 5: him and you want to go to the height, but

206
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 5: his offensive line has been terrible. Every year he's been awful.

207
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 5: Go look at their rankings according Pro Football Focus. Yeah,

208
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: and you really can't win without one.

209
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: Well, he can't win without one. Josh Allen did not

210
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: have a great offensive line. He had a great left tackle,

211
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen's early OH lines were not great. And

212
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: by the way, Patrick Mahomes has gotten the Super Bowls

213
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: with average offensive lines. Joe Burrow's gotten super bowls with

214
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: bad offensive lines. He can't. He has to have I

215
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know that he can.

216
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 5: You're saying you would consider dumping to a like the

217
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson thing in Denver, just take the dead.

218
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: Cap hit and move on. Well, I think if you

219
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: cut him the first of all, I think he'd have

220
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: a market. Absolutely would have a market. I would put

221
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: him in a Dome team. I think he would have

222
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: a market. I think again, I don't think two is

223
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: a bad quarterback, but you have to have certain things

224
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: for him to be a playoff quarterback. Joe Burrow went

225
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: on the road with an atrocious offensive line and was

226
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: a play away from winning a Super Bowl Joe Burrow

227
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: six three and a half. So there are things with

228
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: a small quarterback you have to have work Shallen Burrow.

229
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Mahomes. Mahomes gets to Super Bowls

230
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: with bad receiving course, shaky offensive lines, bad left tackles,

231
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: and no running game. Right, Yeah, he's not Mahomes of Burrough.

232
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: And I think one of the truer elements is that

233
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: Burrough's different than Mahomes, is different than Alan, that's different

234
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: than Herbert. They're all big, strong men. They're all big,

235
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: strong men of size.

236
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 5: The only guys I can find who have been under

237
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: six to two to win Super Bowls Jalen Hurts, Russell Wilson,

238
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: Drew Brees, now Joe Montana, depending where he's listed, sixty one,

239
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: sixty two.

240
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: But you're right, not a lot of them in the

241
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: last forty years. But I mean, just it's just it's

242
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: the I'm not anti smaller quarterback. Baker Mayfield's not big.

243
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is this idea for a decade that

244
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. Yeah, it does. Bryce Young feels small

245
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray from the pocket consistently you don't get it,

246
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: and the Eagles are acknowledging with Jalen Hurts prefer we

247
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: be a run team. They're running sixty two percent of

248
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the time. He has more tush push attempts than balls

249
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: thrown downfield this year, and that's by design. Coming up next,

250
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: what Caleb Williams does have to do against the Cowboys.

251

Speaker 6: Parker on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

262
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: I was telling guys this morning, if you go on

263
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: academic probation in your first college semester, you don't necessarily

264
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: barely need all a's in your second semester. But you

265
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: better improve your focus. You gotta get b's and B pluses.

266
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: So this weekend, Caleb Williams does not have to beat

267
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's not a must win game. It is, however,

268
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: a must perform game. We can't have another great first

269
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: drive followed by garbage the rest of the game. And

270
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: right now the Bears are six and twenty four on

271
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: third and fourth down after the first drive. That's terrible.

272
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: So Dallas's defense gave up four hundred and fifty passing

273
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: yards to thirty seven year old Russell Wilson behind a

274
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: shaky Bear Giants ole line. Okay, I said this, I've

275
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: been consistent. I said this all August. I said, nine

276
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: and eight is generous. Look at their schedule. Packers are great, Lions,

277
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: Vikings could be better. Nine and eight was generous, I said,

278
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't get caught up on that. Eight and nine

279
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: could end up being great because he improves one of

280
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: the things I wanted to see improvement. What did I

281
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: talk about in August? One thing? It wasn't about wins

282
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: or passing yards or touchdowns. Reduction of sacks, reduction of hits.

283
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Just get rid of the ball more quickly. Yeah, the

284
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: problem is that hasn't happened. Because if you look at

285
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: Caleb this year, take away the opening drives where he's

286
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: on script quick release, the other twenty drives, this is horrible.

287
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent completion percentage and a seventy seven passer rating.

288
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Why because he's holding on the ball for three point

289
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: two eight seconds, longest by a long shot over most

290
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: of the league. Most of the league got things out.

291
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Two seven three point three is a law at to

292
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: half a beat. So you look at those twenty drives,

293
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: that's not I don't want to hear about. It got better.

294
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know ro Madonze wasn't built in a day,

295
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: but they were getting better. They were making progress. They

296
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: were laying bricks every day. I got to see something

297
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: because all Ben Johnson talked about in the offseason, what

298
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: did he talk about. He wanted to give Caleb more structure,

299
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: more timing, make it easier, and he wanted harder, more

300
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: intense practices. Three weeks in he's complaining about both. So

301
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a definitive judgment and opinion Sunday night,

302
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: six thirty pm Central Time. If the drives after the

303
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: first drive, if he's not getting rid of the ball sooner.

304
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: I said this about the Steelers. I don't care that

305
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: you're beating Joe Flacco. There's five games for the Steelers

306
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: this year. I care about you were ten and three

307
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: last year, then down the stretch owing five against the

308
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. I don't care about the first drive. You

309
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: can do that. I don't even necessarily care about the

310
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: w But I don't want to hear about this. Well.

311
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, very good on the first drive. I've seen

312
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: that you passed that test. I mean that's starting the

313
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: car and pulling out your driving test when you're seventeen

314
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: years old. I want to see parallel parking. I want

315
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: to see in rush hour. I gotta see something here. Yeah,

316
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: you can start the car, back it up, and go

317
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: on your way. Congrats. I need more than that. I mean,

318
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: almost every quarterback first drive is semi successful. You pick

319
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: up a couple of first downs. So this, Dallas Stephens

320
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: is not good. You're at home. Dallas is coming off

321
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: an overtime game, which is always an advantage statistically to

322
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: the team playing the team that played the overtime game.

323
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs against the Giants, edge Chiefs Bears against the Cowboys,

324
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: Edge Bears fewer snaps last week. So here's Ben Johnson

325
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: on his quarterback heading in two week three against Dallas.

326
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 7: He's got total control of the field. The fact of

327
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 7: the matter is, we're not going to go week one,

328
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 7: week two, week three, all the way through seventeen just

329
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 7: like that. We're going to have some hiccups along the way,

330
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 7: and we're I'm aware of that. But he's approached. His

331
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 7: approach to the game right now is what it needs

332
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 7: to be. He's he's coming in, he's doing the work. Eventually,

333
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 7: these results will start speaking for themselves.

334
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: Okay, six thirty Central Sunday night. I gotta see something now, Okay,

335
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: because through two weeks you're on academic probation. I gotta

336
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: see a little focus. I gotta see a little more

337
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: than tapping the keg with all the boys at Senior's froggies. Okay,

338
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: I got you. Gotta give me some positives here. I

339
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: need to see his studying a little bit because you

340
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: take those first two drives out. The thing we talked

341
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: about all off season was get rid of the ball

342
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: three point two eight seconds worst in the league with

343
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: a timing rhythm coach with upgrades to the old line

344
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: with a very solid receiving core J Mickle the news,

345
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: No no turns.

346
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: This is the herd line news.

347
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 5: Love a good keg tap reference on a Friday, you know,

348
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: and it's perfect for the first story, Colin because the

349
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs fans they will turn to drinking if

350
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 5: the If the Chiefs lose to the Giants this weekend.

351
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: In Week three, the good news is the Giants defense

352
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: just gave up forty to Dallas last week. Here's Mahomes

353
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: on whether Chiefs mentality is entering week three just.

354
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 8: Being O and two, There's there's more urgency than even

355
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 8: last week. I mean, and I felt like we were

356
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 8: a very urgent last week. So definitely new territory as

357
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 8: far as being O and two, but knowing that we'll

358
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 8: get the guys for it, you know, we have the

359
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 8: mindset of going out there and being even better. And

360
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 8: so in my eyes, it looks like it's like, what

361
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 8: an opportunity, What an opportunity to prove who we are

362
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 8: as the Kansas City Chiefs is coming back from O

363
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 8: and two and trying to build up to win a

364
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 8: big football game on Sunday Night football and try to

365
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 8: get our season going in the right direction from there.

366
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: That number to me feels large. That's why I stayed

367
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: away from it. Like once in a while the Bears

368
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: Dallas game, like, how is that a pick him? That's weird?

369
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: And this game, Kansas City doesn't blow anybody out. They

370
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: can't score big points, they have no run game, and

371
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: the Giants have a great defense at front. I don't

372
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: get the number, So it tells me Vegas sees something

373
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: because I don't get this, don't. I don't take Kansas

374
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: City minus six against anybody, especially on the road. Yeah.

375
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's just not a good football team right now.

376
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: And Patrick Mahomes is you know, last year was the

377
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: worst season of his career. He's below that to start

378
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 5: this season, colin fifty eight percent completions, six point five

379
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 5: yards per ten. They have no downfield action, you know,

380
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 5: over the weekend, you know, and the Chiefs are struggling.

381
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 5: I posted Patrick Mahomes' stats, and I'm sure you remember

382
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 5: the movie Black Panther. There here the Mahome stats on

383
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 5: the screen. Wow, the team's stats. But in the movie

384
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 5: Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan takes down Black Paance Anther

385
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 5: and he's like, is this your king?

386
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Is this your king? And I wrote that on social media?

387
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Is this your king?

388
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 5: For Patrick Mahomes and all these Chiefs fans got angry

389
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 5: colin the reality right now, Patrick Mahomes is not playing

390
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 5: at a top ten quarterback level.

391
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: And if you go back to the super Bowl, I

392
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: know it's just three games. He just hasn't been good.

393
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: I suggested this morning to the staff. There was almost

394
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: a mutiny. I said, if I was going to build

395
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: a small pyramid of quarterbacks, Josh Allen over the last

396
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: year to year and a half is the best quarterback

397
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: in this league. Why would there be a mutiny over there?

398
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: That's just when reality we're like oh, And I was like,

399
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't outrage, they didn't there wasn't a strike,

400
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: it was it wasn't a union activity, but it was.

401
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of like with Mahomes, like no, no, no, no,

402
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: the last year and a half, Josh is the best

403
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. But that's not even close better.

404
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it is close. The difference is and

405
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: this knock is Josh has beaten the chief several times.

406
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: It's just in the regular season, whereas Lamar that's been

407
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: he can't get past that. And Josh has also been

408
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: good in the postseason. Don't kid yourself. Josh hasn't been

409
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: the issue in the postseason. Their defense has. So my

410
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: takeaway right now is Mahomes is not the best quarterback

411
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: in the league. He may end up having the best career,

412
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: but he's not the best quarterback in the league right now.

413
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were years where Tom Brady was excellent and good,

414
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 5: and they want to see he wasn't the best quarterback

415
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: in the league.

416
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: Brady was by far and away the best quarterback in

417
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: the league the two primary years with Randy Moss. It

418
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: wasn't close, right the year he won the Atlanta Super Bowl, Edelman,

419
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, again, Tom was very, very good, But that's

420
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: when you started to see the emergence of a lot

421
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: of young quarterbacks in the last couple of years of

422
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: his career. Over like, Tom's the most profound, but the

423
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: best quarterback. I mean, when Mahomes came in, we were like, Okay,

424
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: that's the best quarterback. So if we're so easy to

425
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: do that with Mahomes and Brady at the end of

426
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Tom's career, then in the prime of Mahomes' career, why

427
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: can't we say right now, Josh is better. You get

428
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: more upside, fewer mistakes.

429
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, the numbers. Trust the numbers over your emotions. We

430
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: know you love Patrick Mahomes and he's a great guy,

431
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 5: and he's a great family man, and he's won a

432
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: lot of Super Bowls, but right now he's not playing

433
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 5: good football. Look at this, most consecutive games with fewer

434
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 5: than thirty points. Kansas City Chiefs are in the same

435
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 5: categories the Raiders, the Saints, the Jags make The Jets

436
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: aren't even on that list. They score thirty in Week one. Okay,

437
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 5: so yeah, anyways, let's move on to that big game

438
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: Sunday on Fox Rams at Philadelphia, battle of two and

439
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 5: zero teams. I know that the playoff game was close

440
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 5: last year, but we keep forgetting how Saquon had three

441
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 5: hundred and two yards in the regular season meeting. I

442
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 5: think he had three carries over seventy yards in that game.

443
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 5: Jared Verse talked about how the Rams defense has to

444
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 5: flip the script.

445
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 9: In the face. Two weeks we've limited the explosive plays

446
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 9: by a huge amount. Obviously, Philly's a Devin team and

447
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 9: a eight team we faced so far. You know, everybody's

448
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 9: just got to do their job. They're one of eleven

449
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 9: every now and then, you know, it might be ten

450
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 9: of eleven, and that's when we become dangerous. Saquan's are

451
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 9: very good back. If you don't, if everyone's on the

452
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 9: same page, he can damage you.

453
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy is about starting this year, is about

454
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: to go on a run for about a decade to

455
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: be the best defensive player in the year.

456
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 5: Oh, very good, little hyperbole this week. Jim Harbaugh the

457
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 5: best coach ever, Jared versus best defender, perfect quarterback versus

458
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 5: really really good. Okay, let's Michael Parsons is still breathing

459
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 5: right now? Right have we checked on him in Green Bay?

460
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 5: Come on, Michael Parsons is totally dominant right now. Coward,

461
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: by the way, still three and a half for this game.

462
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't get it. And you

463
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: know that we're not scoring and the Rams defense is

464
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: arguably the best in the league. I don't get the number.

465
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: So you know some of these public Hey, the public

466
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: is eighty two percent on the Texans all that stuff.

467
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 5: I saw one where the public is eighty percent on

468
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 5: the Rams. A public dog is usually one of these

469
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 5: be careful as a public.

470
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: They don't know anything. The public last year and as

471
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: you know this last year, the fans, the public beat

472
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: the wise guys, right, but that was last year.

473
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 5: These first two weeks are get eviscerated, Colin, They're getting destroyed.

474
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm on the Rams. I'm pot committed. Go Rams. Final story.

475
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: We've got some breaking news.

476
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 5: The Washington commanders just announced Marcus Mariota will be starting

477
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 5: this weekend Sunday, one pm against the Raiders. Marcus Mariota,

478
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 5: former Raider Raider, former Chip Kelly quarterback at Oregon.

479
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: So Chip Kelly obviously.

480
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 5: The new OC with the Raiders, Jayden Daniels, Like we predicted.

481
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: This what Tuesday? No, I think this is a I

482
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: think this is a very good game. I think obviously

483
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: you could take a touchdown away. You know, it's Washington's

484
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: not going to score in the thirties, so they're not

485
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: going to be as lethal offensively. But I do think

486
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: for short periods of time, defenses rise when the star

487
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: quarterback is out. Now, I don't think you can do

488
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: it for a month, but the Washington defense, knowing they

489
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: don't have Jayden Daniels, will probably play a very spirited

490
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: football game, and I still like Washington very close. I

491
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: think for a week Washington will be fine. I don't

492
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: think you can go a month without Jayden. You can

493
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: go a Sunday without him again for a team that's

494
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: trying to find their way offensively, Genti Gino protection. I

495
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: still like Washington.

496
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and remember Marcus Mariota has had a bunch of

497
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 5: first team reps this week because the injury was last

498
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 5: Thursday to day.

499
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: By the way, if you take out the injuries, he

500
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: was physically reckless, not necessarily throwing the ball, he was

501
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: sometimes physically reckless. Marcus can play. I think he got

502
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: to the playoffs with the Titans. Wan like Marcus couldn't play.

503
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: It's like Joe Flacco. There's a reason he's still hanging

504
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: around Carson Wentz. People think he can play.

505
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 5: So let me ask, remember how Winston and Mariota went

506
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 5: one two in the draft.

507
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: Who would you say had the better career out of

508
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: those twom Well, Winston had a lot of touchdown passes

509
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: and come on a lot of mistakes, take sixes. He's

510
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: like the career leader or whatever. It's almost a wash.

511
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: I would maybe lean Mariota because I think he won

512
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Maybe Marcus Mariota has a very good reputation.

513
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: He's a really nice guy. People like him. It's just

514
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: one of those things, you know, we talk about this.

515
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Odd was talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick this morning on X.

516
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick wasn't good enough to be a build the

517
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: franchise around him. Ryan Fitzpatrick's the only quarterback in league

518
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: history that had three straight games of over four hundred

519
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: passing yards. Like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, could play. He didn't

520
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: have a huge arm, but he was tough, resilient. He

521
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: could throw a we could and he'd do fitz magic.

522
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: Like Marcus Mariota, had a lot of good performances. He

523
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: was a very talented guy. I'm leaning Washington, but I

524
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: got nothing on this game. I don't know.

525
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 5: Raiders are Remember Raiders are coming off Monday night football

526
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 5: and travel against arrested Washington team.

527
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: So there's a world where Washington beats them. That makes

528
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: their brains in. But we'll see that. Jay Mack with

529
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: the news.

530
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the

531
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: Herd Line News.

532
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: We've got good stuff today, Top of the Hour, Blazing

533
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: five Even now. Jamack usually doesn't see my picks before

534
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: I make him, but DUT's not get two into the details.

535
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: But Jamack inadvertently accidentally saw my picks today. And I

536
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: don't like to give out my secrets early. I know

537
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: when I'm stealing any of my picks. But he even

538
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: even Jmax said, yeah, I like your pixes. We're in

539
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot of agreement.

540
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: Usually, I think we're like ninety four percent when we

541
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 5: both agree on it.

542
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: No, we're pretty high now. But it's pretty good though. Yeah,

543
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: we agree, it's pretty good. Yeah.

544
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,000

Speaker 5: Tomorrow, another huge day of college football is on Fox,

547
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 5: and it all kicks off with Big Noon Saturday as

Speaker 1: Saturday Night, Jmack ten o'clock Michigan State USC at the College.

554
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: So I have to take a nap, A huge hour

555
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: and a half nap in the afternoon, so I can

556
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: stay up till one thirty in the morning to watch

557
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Now the game will be over early

558
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: third quarter. But the point being is.

559
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: Now, hold on, let me reach for my violin here.

560
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 5: It feels so bad you have to take a nap

561
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 5: on a Saturday.

562
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: Geez. So the Bears Cowboys game is interesting. I will

563
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be called an elitist, but I am

564
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback elitist. First of all, we're all elitists at

565
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: some level. I don't care if it's golf. Some guys

566
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: don't like the golf on public courses. Some guys won't

567
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: drive certain trucks. Everybody's got something. I don't confuse elitists

568
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: with standards. But I am a quarterback elitist. I like

569
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: certain traits, size, durability, big arms. I am a quarterback elitist.

570
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: There are traits I like. And Dak I had a

571
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: couple surgeries. He doesn't throw the most aesthetically pleasing ball.

572
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: His size normal. It's fine, it's normal. He's not exceptional

573
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: in terms of size athletic ability. But where Dak is

574
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: great is that the Cowboys beyond the avalanche of media

575
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: coverage and scrutiny it takes to be a cowboy quarterback

576
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: star in the helmet, des Zeke, Jerry Micah Now, George Pickens,

577
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of higher maintenance people around him. And all Dak

578
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: does with three different coaches, none of which you loved

579
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: any of them, Jason Garrett, Mike McCarthy, Brian Schottenneimer. And

580
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Dak comes out every year and he's on pace to

581
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: do it again, to get a passer rating at about

582
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: ninety eight ninety nine complete sixty seven percent of his throws,

583
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: give you about thirty touchdowns, ten picks, and win double

584
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: digit games. That's what it looks like to me. And

585
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this this morning, and Dak is

586
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: the kid in the family that sort of gets ignored

587
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: because he's never needy, he's never doing the wrong thing,

588
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: and parents pay attention to the toxic kid. They always

589
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: in trouble kid, the kid that's irresponsible. Dak is the

590
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: kid you make executor of the will. Dak is the

591
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: responsible kid. And everybody listening to my show on radio

592
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: that is that kid in their family. You're the responsible one.

593
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: There's always a reality when you're the responsible kid, and

594
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: it's almost never acknowledged. By the other kids or even

595
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: your parents, everybody else. You accept all the burdens of

596
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: people around you, and Dak accepts all of them. And

597
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: once again, I watch him through two weeks and I'm like,

598
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: he'll never get credit for it. He doesn't have the

599
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: arm couple surgeries. He's not the most athletic guy. Dak

600
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: has become one of the mental least strongest players in

601
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: this league. You can throw injuries at him, the pandemic

602
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: at him. I remember during the BLM stuff in America,

603
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of controversy. You can throw dez Adam

604
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: Zeke at him, Micah at him, ugly losses, the Eagle

605
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: semi dynasty. He pops up every year with a different

606
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: coach and gives you the same numbers passer rating ninety eight,

607
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: ninety nine complete, sixty seven percent, gonna win ten plus games,

608
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: thirty TV's ten picks. So I am. I am a

609
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: quarterback trait elitist, and I admit that. And because of that,

610
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: I've never been wowed by Dak Prescott. But I'll tell

611
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: you this, as he's aged, not only do I totally

612
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: respect him, I'm starting to appreciate him. I mean, I

613
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: came into the season, I'm like, that is not the

614
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: head coach I would have hired. And Dak looks great again,

615
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: and he's had to endure and deal with all this

616
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: toxicity around him, and he's the kid that just gets

617
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: good grades. Now mows Delawn does the stuff the parents

618
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: want and gets ignored mostly because he's not toxic and

619
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: he's not high maintenance. I just think he looks unbelievable

620
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: through the first two weeks. I couldn't believe what I'm

621
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: watching a Troykman this week on Dallas Radio on DAK.

622
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 10: I love Dak. There's nothing I'd rather see than see

623
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 10: him go on and win a Super Bowl and win

624
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 10: multiple Super Bowls and you know, win more than me

625
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 10: and Roger and all of us combined if possible, because

626
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 10: he's that type of guy, and he represents himself and

627
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 10: the organization and really our city so well.

628
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: He really does. I was thinking about this, So the

629
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Josh Allen broke Patrick Mahomes record is the fastest

630
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: guy to get three hundred career touchdowns and stay with

631
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: me on this four or five minute story, but he's

632
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: becoming a little Josh Allen. The Leonardo DiCaprio of twenty sixteen.

633
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: So we all knew DiCaprio was great. He was an

634
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: all timer, and we all know Josh is an all timer.

635
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: But it wasn't until you know, like The Revenant, until

636
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: Hollywood said, okay, you get the Oscar, and that's Josh

637
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: allen Is. He now has a running game, He now

638
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: has three legitimate tight ends. He no longer jumps over linebackers.

639
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: And my hunch is, despite all the stats, early Super

640
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: Bowl sixty this year will be his Revenant. It will

641
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: be his moment. Leonardo DiCaprio, by the way, he didn't

642
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: win an Oscar, but he was carrying the Titanic. He

643
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: was caring Wolf of wall Street. He was jumping over linebackers.

644
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: He catched me if you can, very Leonardo DiCaprio centric.

645
00:35:53,760 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 1: But it wasn't ironically, until he talked Less that Hollywood

646
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: finally said he's the best actor in the world. It

647
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: wasn't until Revenant, and we were all in awe of

648
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio jumping over linebackers, wolfel wall Street, titank. We

649
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: were in all of him at the end, Where's the trophy?

650
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: And we were similarly in awe of Josh Allen four

651
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: hundred yard games literally out running safeties, running over people,

652
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: jumping over people. He didn't do that as much anymore.

653
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: So my Super Bowl prediction on February eighth, Josh Allen

654
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: j Mack will officially become Leonardo DiCaprio in Revenant. Here

655
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen on improving to three and zero.

656
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: Were obviously doing our job going want to know each week,

657
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: still a lot to learn from, a lot to grow,

658
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 3: a lot of room for growth in this in this group,

659
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 3: a lot of young guys, but guys are stepping up.

660
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: There's been some guys down with injuries, and guys are

661
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 3: stepping up and making some big time plays for us,

662
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 3: especially on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, I

663
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 3: mean it's a it's a close unit, that's you know,

664
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: jeeling together really well right now. And I got to

665
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 3: keep find ways to win football games.

666
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking about this, how lucky is

667
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: the NFL And the NFL doesn't get credit for this.

668
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: Dads get credit for this, parents get credit for this,

669
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: and the players do. Think of the best quarterbacks in

670
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: the league right now, like Lamar Jackson, Mahomes, Josh Allen

671
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurtz, Joe Burrow. Just think think of

672
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks in the league. They're all great guys,

673
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: like they're humble. I mean, these guys are worth three

674
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: and four hundred million dollars. They're in their twenties. I mean,

675
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: guys on bitcoin that are still renting are unlikable. Yeah

676
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: on the internet follow x for five minutes after a

677
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: good Bitcoin day. I mean, these guys are worth hundreds

678
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: of millions. They're stars. Could Josh Allen be more likable

679
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: or Jalen Hurts or Dak Prescott. It's unbelievable. The NFL

680
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: superstar players are such likable, relatable, cool guys. Congrats to

681
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: the kids, Congrats to the parents. Mom or dad are both.

682
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: But when I watched Josh Allen, I'm like, can you

683
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: imagine being this rich? You seen his wife having this

684
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: much talent and like being coachable, reflective, smart, and as

685
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: I just said, the Revenant as of February eighth. So

686
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: I watch them, and I watch one of the things

687
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen he doesn't jump over linebackers like he

688
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: used to. But when you play this way and you

689
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over, that was always a little

690
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: bit of Aaron Rodgers in Mahome secret sauce. I get

691
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: all the upside, I don't get any of the downside.

692
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: I mean Manning threw picks elways through picks. Montana threw

693
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: him name it threw them. Frady threw some, not many.

694
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: But it was like Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. It's like, man,

695
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: you don't you get thirty five touchdowns, you get like

696
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: six picks. I mean for Josh Allen to not I

697
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: mean in his what was that thing? The last twelve

698
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: games thirty touchdowns, one pick. I mean, I mean he

699
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: only and here's the air thing. They've got nice weapons

700
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: everybody eight they got nine guys touched the ball. They

701
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: have three good tight ends. James Cook I read only

702
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: one time all night did they attempt to pass over

703
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: ten yards? Remember we we thought Stefan Diggs was the answer. Oh,

704
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw downtown. We're gonna be a big playoffense.

705
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: And with Josh Allen, they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no,

706
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that. We're not gonna throw downtown

707
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: as much. We're gonna have tight ends. A good run game.

708
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, guys, in the slot we can get the

709
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: ball to and then Josh has to peel off a

710
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: great run about three to four times a game. Yeah,

711
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: last twelve games including the playoffs, three thousand ys thirty

712
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns on a pick. I just hope everybody gets what

713
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: a good guy, what a story. You're watching history. Sometimes

714
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: it's obvious, like sometimes, oh, you broke the all time

715
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: blank record. This is history, Like what you're watching here

716
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. You may never see thirty touchdowns one pick

717
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: in a twelve game stretch. Ever, in what's considered the

718
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: better conference, the AFC. All right around the corner, J

719
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: Matt got a sneak peek. You may be changing his picks.

720
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: Little envy. I sense the blazon five, top of Hour

721
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: two and a Friday. I can't wait
