1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: The volume. What is happening everybody? How are we doing? 2 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, right around lunchtime, and I decided. I 3 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: realized I didn't do a mail bag on Tuesday show, 4 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: and I have a million questions, and I was like, 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: you know what, Let's just do a full mail bag 6 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: podcast today. Make it meaty football stuff. And that's what 7 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: I decided to do. So obviously, we got Thursday night 8 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: football coming up, the Steelers and the Browns, which you 9 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: know be entertaining, so we will die. We will react 10 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: to that game after Thursday night. But other than that, 11 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: not much going on, a little slow time. After the 12 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: breaking news yesterday with Joe Douglas getting fired, we did 13 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: a pod cast reacting to that and you can go 14 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: check that out. Obviously, Colin and I did one earlier 15 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: this week as well as just we've got a lot 16 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: going on, so we've had podcasts out every day. This 17 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: is going to be mail bag only at John Middlecoff. 18 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: At John Middlecoff is the Instagram firing those dms, get 19 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: your questions answered here on the show, very very easy 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: to do. So that will be the game plan as 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: of today. But really quick, before we dive into the podcast, 22 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: you know I got to tell you about my friends, 23 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: my partners in the official ticketing app of this podcast. 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: If you want to go to a game, if you 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: want to go to a concert, if you want to 26 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: go out and have some fun and save a little 27 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: money while you're at it, just use game Time.

Okay, 37 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: let's start with Tyler backstory. Born in ninety nine, makes 38 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: me feel old. I was eighth grade ninety nine, seventh 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: grade maybe seventh or eighth grade. So you're young. You 40 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: got a lot of life left to live. Family of 41 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: Browns fans. Sorry. Around five or six, I realized the 42 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Browns sucked and had to find another team. I chose 43 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. He won the Super Bowl that year and 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: he was my guy from then on. After he retired, 45 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: it felt wrong to root for anybody but the Browns. 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: So here we are. When I was in junior high 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: high school, I was a paid, big paid Manning fan too. Question, 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: are the Browns really considering firing Stefanski? Hugh Jackson led 49 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: the most embarrassing football team in modern football history. Kitchens 50 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: was a joke. The Deshaun things sucks, but firing Kevin 51 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: will only make it worse thoughts. Yeah, man, I think 52 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: the Bill Simmons used to call it the Tyson zone, 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: like there was nothing Tyson could do that you wouldn't believe. 54 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: And I think there are some football tea There's always 55 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: been sports teams that kind of fell under that category. 56 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the Knicks for a long time were that. 57 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: I think the Raiders. You know, football has had a 58 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: lot of them. The Jets obviously fall into that category. 59 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: The Raiders fall under that category. And sad to say, 60 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: you guys fall under that category despite having a guy 61 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: who's won a couple of Coach of the Years obviously 62 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: has done a good job taking you guys to the playoffs. 63 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: Multiple times. You won a playoff game with Baker Flacco 64 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: shit the bed last year, but you guys won eleven games. 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: I think sometimes in life when the dude cutting the 66 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: chain X Like, let's face it, when you own something like, 67 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: there's a superiority complex, especially something is lucrative. As an 68 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: NFL team, you're a billionaire. Now. The Haslims were born 69 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: into the money. It's not like this dude created the 70 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: wealth from scratch, but neither did would he. Most of 71 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: these guys didn't, and they think they are, you know, 72 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: the greatest things in slice spread. Say what you want 73 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: about Jerry Jones. That fucker created all his money. That 74 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: guy created the purchase like no one handed him shit. 75 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: But I think when you look at Jimmy Haslum like, 76 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: ultimately he gave the thumbs up and he got the 77 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: check to Deshaun Watson and he will probably be the 78 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: last guy to admit that's one of the biggest disasters 79 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: in the history of sports. So you got to blame someone. 80 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Last year, they blamed all the offensive coaches. They got 81 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: rid of them. This year it got worse. Stefanski is 82 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: an offensive coach. I'm with you. I would not fire 83 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: him I actually think Stefanski, the combo Stefanski and Jim 84 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: Schwartz pretty damn good. No one's winning with Deshaun Watson, 85 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: Bill Walsh, Vince Lombardi, nobody in the history of sport, 86 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: Bear Bryant, everyone's losing with that guy. He's a complete scrub. 87 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: He's not very good. I mean, there's just period, point blank, 88 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: end of story. He's an awful football player. It happens. 89 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: Usually it happens to older players, not a guy like 90 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: in the prime of his career, loss his confidence, the 91 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: massage therapy. Who knows, but just it looked it couldn't 92 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: have looked any worse. And statistically, you know, you know, 93 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: to quantify it, you couldn't quantify it anywhere, like he 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: was statistically one of the worst players in the history league. 95 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: So I have a hard time blaming Stefanski. But nothing 96 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: will shock me when it comes to the Browns, and 97 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: I think it all gets back to Flying Jay and 98 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam. He's one of the great wild cards. I'm 99 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: with you. How could you go from Hugh Jackson and 100 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchen this and think that, like, what are you 101 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: doing now? Maybe you think Vrabel is gonna come on 102 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: board and save you. I don't know, I mean, is 103 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: there that big of a difference between Stefanski and Vrabel 104 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: Like I think if you put Stefanski on a talent 105 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: with a talented team, he's gonna win two. So I 106 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I think it just gets back 107 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: to your owner. If Zach Taylor gets fired. What are 108 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Bengals hiring Belichick. I think they'd 109 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: be too cheap, But I'm curious if you think they'd 110 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: take a shot similar to the Chargers with Harbaugh. My 111 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: thing would be if I was Belichick and I was 112 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: coming back, which clearly he wants to. Let's look at 113 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: the jobs the Jags. How could you take the Jags 114 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: who just paid two hundred million dollars to a guy 115 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: one who we don't know if he's any good and 116 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: two he's always hurt. Like to me, that's an awful job. 117 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: Belichick hates the Jets with the pass and the power 118 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: of a thousand suns, so that's not an option. The Raiders. 119 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: I would be stunned if he became the next head 120 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: coach of the Raiders. The Bears somewhat intriguing though he's 121 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: talked a little shit about Caleb. I do think the Bengals, Like, 122 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: if you're Bill Belichick and you're coming back to win, 123 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: You're not coming back because you need a job. You're 124 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: not coming back because you need the money. You're coming 125 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: back simply to win and validate everyone who talks about 126 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: your last three or four years. You know what you're doing. 127 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase. 128 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: So if I'm Bill Belichick, like I've already made how 129 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: much money is Bill Belichick made the last twenty five years, 130 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars? I mean, there are reports 131 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: that Ernie Adams, who's like a stock genius, made Bill 132 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: Belichick a ton. Belichick does not need more money. I mean, listen, 133 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: it's capitalism. We always need more money. It's part of 134 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: the drive of competitive people. That's not what I mean, Like, 135 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't want more money, But this is not about 136 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: that at this time. It's about a legacy and stamping 137 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: it like double middle fingers, and by far his best option, 138 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: it's not even close, would be coaching that quarterback. How 139 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: often do you get an opportunity to coach a top 140 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: five quarterback in the prime of his career, those jobs 141 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: usually don't become open. Ask Lafleur, how awesome was that 142 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: takes over the packer job. Aaron wins a couple MVPs 143 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: and it kind of jolts him to the top of 144 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: the list of being like a high end coach. So 145 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: I think, if I'm Bill Belichick, I'm all over the 146 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: Bengals man, all over the Bengals, big fan of the pod. 147 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: With someone like Joe Douglas Sala or Doug Peterson, they've 148 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: got to have a sense that the firing is coming. 149 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: How big is the vibe shift in the building. Are 150 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: they getting ignored in meetings? I was just a West 151 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: Coast scout when I guess I wasn't technically fired. My 152 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: contract was over and it wasn't renewed, kind of like 153 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. So you know, is Mike McCarthy essentially going 154 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: to be fired or just he will not have a 155 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: new contract, which is technically what will happen. I remember 156 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: going to the Combine after we had some draft meetings 157 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: and sitting with Chip Kelly and other staff members in 158 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: the in the suite at Indianapolis and thinking, like all 159 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: the people that are in charge are not even looking 160 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: me in the eye, let alone talking to me like 161 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: this is weird. We're all human beings. You can sense 162 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: when something is off, and I think it's like our 163 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: animal instinct, right, you know, when vibes shift. There was 164 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: an article out yesterday on Joe Douglas. Joe knew back 165 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: at the beginning the year when they forced him to 166 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: fire his right hand man. I think his name was 167 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: Rex Hogan, who was like one of his best friends. 168 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Their families were friends, and he had no choice and 169 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: Woody Johnson made him do that. Then when free agency 170 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: happened and he wanted to make a bunch of moves 171 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: and would he either vetoed them or did something else, 172 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: the writing was on the wall. He was a dead 173 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: man walking, you know, Sala was told. Schefter said this 174 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: on McAfee yesterday. Did either their first couple of meetings 175 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: in when Woody Johnson got back with the New York 176 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Jets was that, you know, I didn't hire you. That's 177 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: what he said to Robert Sala. So if you're Robert 178 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Sala and the guy looks at you that owns the 179 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: team and cuts your check goes, you know I didn't 180 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: hire you, what are you thinking there? Like, you know 181 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: it's over? Doug Peterson just which is the highlights of 182 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: his press conferences done. I think sometimes in life, right 183 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: when layoffs happen or someone gets fired, they are generally shocked. 184 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: I've been fired twice. Both times I knew it was coming. 185 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: New management button heads with people, you can feel you 186 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: are not surprised. So I know there are people that 187 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: have been fired before in life that are surprised. Whether 188 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,239 Speaker 1: it's in the NFL, whether it's in just other industries. 189 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: It can come out of nowhere, no different than a breakup. 190 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: I would say most people that break up, once you 191 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: give it a week or two or a month, you 192 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: can say, hey, did you see this coming, And most 193 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: people would say yes. Every once in a while, a 194 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: hammer comes out of nowhere and she's just, you know, 195 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: dating the pool guy and you didn't see it coming 196 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: and you're just single. But I would say for the 197 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: most part, in football, people see it coming. First off, 198 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: I want to thank you for the Viya edible recommendation. 199 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: I've been taken edible since the day they became legal 200 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: in California at least over five years, and only do 201 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: not take edibles when I travel internationally, these are by 202 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: far the best I've ever had. Got you, Homie. Secondly, 203 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: on the question, do you see any change in the 204 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: value of running backs in free agency in the draft 205 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: going forward? After seeing the impact a good running back 206 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: can have on teams Henry on the Ravens, gibbson Montgomery 207 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: on Detroit, etc. Here's one problem for these guys, right, 208 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Hall of Fame player, Gibbs and Montgomery as 209 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: good of a one to two combination as there is 210 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, stud Saquon Barkley MVP candidate, Christian McCaffrey MVP 211 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: candidate last year one of the best players when healthy 212 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's a supply and demand issue. So 213 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: this year, let's say some of these guys want new 214 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: contracts the draft, I would imagine. I think there's a 215 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: chance that come February March, all the GIRAFT analysts are 216 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: saying the best position is by far running back. It's 217 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: definitely the deepest. I mean, I can think of seven 218 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: eight guys right now that are going to go in 219 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: the top three rounds. I think we're going to have 220 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: probably three or four go in the top fifty so 221 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, should I pay you know, a guy 222 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: twelve thirteen, fourteen million dollars or just get a guy 223 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: for a million dollars a year? And that's a position 224 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: that can say, unlike quarterback, how many guys immediately like 225 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: third fourth round become your starter fast? So I think 226 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: it's more that. And again we act like they're totally screwed. Yeah, 227 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: they're a little underpaid. Where I think it's out of 228 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: whack is would you pay would you rather pay a 229 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: guard eighteen million dollars or Saquon Barkley twelve? And I 230 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: think some people would say, well, it's in a weird way. 231 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: It's easier to find a Saquon Barkley, maybe not as good, 232 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: but for two or three million than it is to 233 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: find a guard at that level for two or three million. 234 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: So it's just an economic exercise, right. That's all the 235 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: draft and free agency is how can I plug and 236 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: play for how much money? And where can I find talent? 237 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: And there are just more of this position than there 238 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: are less of this position. Okay, the NFL season is 239 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: rolling along and contenders are separating from the pack, But 240 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: one thing hasn't changed, Baby DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sportsbook 241 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: partner of the NFL, is the number one place the 242 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: bet touchdowns.

It said for being 270 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: late to everything. Said it affected the team's ability to 271 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: hold everyone accountable and affected the team morale. Have you 272 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: ever heard of this happening in the NFL during a 273 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: player's only meeting where a lesser star calls out the 274 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: bigger star on the team Or is there too much 275 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: of a hierarchy for this to happen. If it did happen, 276 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: what are the consequences? How does this impact the team? 277 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: How does the big star respond? Well? Embiid would be 278 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: the equivalent of a quarterback, right, so, if your quarterback 279 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: and Embid would be the equivalent of a top ten 280 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. I would say universally, those guys 281 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: are consistently the hardest workers on the team, the most 282 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: disasked of them, and the most is demanded of their time. 283 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: I think I saw Jonathan Taylor or Kenny Moore. I 284 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: can't remember one of those two players defending Anthony Richardson 285 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: a little bit because there was a story that came 286 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: out that after he got benched, he realized he wasn't 287 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: doing enough, even though he was working hard, but you 288 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: have to go above and beyond at the quarterback. He 289 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: started coming at five thirty in the morning. He started 290 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: using his lunch break to go to the coach's offices 291 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: and talk the game plan, and it was almost like 292 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: he didn't quite realize the expectations of a starting quarterback. 293 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: And when you look at Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar, 294 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: I would imagine the time they put in, and ultimately 295 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Moore and Jonathan Taylor said the quarterback has to 296 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: do way more than all of us in terms of 297 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: time throughout the week. So the best players at quarterback 298 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: all put in the most time. Who are the biggest 299 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: stars in the NBA? For example, the only two guys 300 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: that really moved the needle TV ratings, Steph Curry, Lebron James. 301 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: Who would you say are the hardest workers in the NBA? 302 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: Probably those two guys. It's not an accident and not 303 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: random that Joel Embiid Like, obviously he's big and he's 304 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: had some injuries, like a lot of big guys historically 305 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: in the NBA. But we find out he's lazy and 306 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: we find out he's not focused, like I'm out, Like 307 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: what a joke. It's just like I one, I didn't 308 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: take the Sixers seriously before now like I don't even 309 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: entertain anything seriously about that organization. Their best player, Anthony Richardson. 310 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: If you wanted to defend Anthony richards and be like, 311 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: he's twenty two to twenty three years old, he's barely played. 312 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: Just got to If Anthony Richmond was thirty year old, 313 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: thirty years old and that was the story, you'd be like, 314 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,239 Speaker 1: I'm out. If you heard something like that about like 315 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert or Lamar Jackson, you'd be like, what is 316 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: going You're not showing up on time. People don't show 317 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: up on time all the time in any business. Happens 318 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL too, ideally, it's like your wide receiver 319 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: or your defensive tackle. It's not the quarterback. And if 320 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: it's the quarterback, the team is screwed, completely screwed. So 321 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure there have been situations where a lesser star 322 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: calls out a bigger store. If the lesser star or 323 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: the lesser paid guy is correct, I don't think anyone 324 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: has a problem with it. I can't believe that a 325 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: story came out that it'd be just doesn't show up 326 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: on time. Maybe it's the way I was raised, and 327 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: you know, my dad had some Tom Coughlin vibes. In 328 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: terms of time, I would imagine till my dying days. 329 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: Anxiety might be the wrong way to put it, but 330 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: I like, no matter what I'm doing, whether it's going 331 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: to the airport, whether it's a meeting, whether it's whatever, 332 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: I just get like it's almost impossible for me to 333 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: be late. Definitely in my own head, like that's something 334 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: that I would be very I'm very cognizant of timeliness 335 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: with stuff in terms of showing up, especially a work 336 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: related thing like basketball. Hey, practice starts at ten, or 337 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: the buses leave it too, You're the best. It's one 338 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: thing like Hey, man, I ran into a little trap. 339 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: We're all humans. Every once in a while things happened, 340 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: but it's like bro, you're consistently late. That would be 341 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: a massive story in the NFL. So if it was 342 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and that's essentially what EMBD is, uh, I 343 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: think Embid now is under the world of most overrated 344 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: player in the history of the NBA. Seriously, Jets Fan 345 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: unfortunately ruined most of my Sundays. My question is, assuming 346 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: Rogers retires with both Douglas and Sala being fired, if 347 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: they pick let's say eighth in the draft and cam 348 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: Ward and Shador are off the board, should they just 349 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: take the best available player on the board, such as 350 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: Mason Graham or Will Johnson, both from Michigan, and sign 351 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: a bridge quarterback like Fields or someone of that level 352 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: instead of forcing Yours or mill Road too high to 353 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 1: me if you don't get one of the top guys, 354 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: and even cam Ward I think is more than up 355 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: for debate. I don't think the Jets are a lock 356 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: to take quarterback in the first round. You could not 357 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: take Quinn Yours at eight. If you're the Jets, you 358 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: could not take Jalen Milrow at eight. If you're the Jets. 359 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: I also think all this conversation is kind of useless 360 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: until we know who's running the operation. I mean, it's 361 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: just kind of a moot point, right, Like Anthony Richardson 362 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: made a lot more sense once the colts Hire Chainsiching. 363 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: It's like, well, he had just worked with Jalen Hurts, right, 364 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: if he had been a lifetime Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, 365 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: those are the only type quarterbacks he'd work with, maybe 366 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't make as much sense. So I think until 367 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: we know the coach, we know the offense, we know 368 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: the offense, or the organizational philosophy. Like if they hire 369 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, I'd be like, yeah, one dent Bridge quarterback. 370 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they just roll back Aaron Rodgers another year if 371 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 1: they hire you know, I don't know. I don't know. 372 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: I don't know who they're gonna hire. If you tell 373 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: me they hire Rex Ryan, I bet Aaron Rodgers back 374 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: for a year. My name is Reed and I'm a 375 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: Niner fan in the Bay Area. I can see the 376 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: stadium from my winery cop this guy's living well, which 377 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: is the account I am using for this message? Watching 378 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: the Niners this year, including the terribles offseason. I felt 379 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: it was going to be a long shot for them 380 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: to come back and roll like they have in recent years. 381 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: It's clear that the older Stars are playing tired and 382 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: without urgency. However, it also seems that Kyle seems burnout 383 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: and has no creativity in his play calling. He is 384 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: not using his personnel in a way that promotes winning football, 385 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: and he seems to be holding stubbornly to his old 386 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: tendencies while the rest of the league is adapting. Do 387 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: you think Kyle is taking a step back this year, 388 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: both physically and emotionally, as he has had so many 389 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: letdowns and feels the need to reset and re envision 390 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: the future with Brock as the guy. That's a good question. 391 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: I think they're all trying as hard as they can, 392 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: and like you said, are they just running on empty? 393 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: Have the old Stars just been banged up and don't 394 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: have as much left in the tank? Is Kyle too 395 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: stubborn with his offense? I think he'd tell you my 396 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: offense has worked pretty consistently, and maybe this is kind 397 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: of some forced humility on him that, like Kyle, you 398 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: do have to adapt. People think your drop back passing 399 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: game sucks. Right, The passing game tied to your run 400 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: game works, But what happens when you can't run the ball. 401 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: What happened when your team's not as dominant and you 402 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: can't bully opponents? Can you just drop back and go 403 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: four wide and throw for three hundred yards? Because if 404 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay a quarterback sixty million dollars and you 405 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: can't do that, you're paying the wrong guy. So how 406 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: about this. We spread this fucking thing out and we 407 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: start slinging the pill And I bet he doesn't want 408 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: to do that because he won't do that. But I 409 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: don't think he's emotionally spent in not trying. I think 410 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: this is him. I think they're all given their effort. 411 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: Maybe they're just like you said, emotionally worn down. They've 412 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: been a three straight conference championship games, They've played a 413 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: lot of extra football, and they're just not very I 414 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: would say, a buttoned up operation. They've struggled to score 415 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: points all season long in the red zone. Some's just 416 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: been off offensively and defensively. But it's not lack of 417 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: effort or I think all these guys train as hard 418 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: as humanly possible. Like I think they take it really seriously. 419 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: It's just it's just one of those things. This is 420 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: not their year. And to me, if they lose the Packers, 421 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: I think they're better off going like six and eleven 422 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: then they are eight and nine, because that's an extra 423 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: six to seventh spo. If you're not gonna make the playoffs, 424 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna make the playoffs. So are you better off 425 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: draft in nineteenth or you better off draft in eleventh. Again, 426 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm not pro tanking in general. I mean the NBA 427 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: that became synonymous with tanking. I saw their ratings are 428 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: down again, so that's never good for business. I'm not 429 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: pro tanking unless you are legitimately tanking like the Dolphins 430 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and then you win three 431 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: of your last five games in a costume Joe Burrow, 432 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: then yeah, that's a head scratcher. But like what the 433 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: Browns did several years ago, that that was stupid. But 434 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are a couple losses away from 435 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: like none of this matters. Question for the mailbag, do 436 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: you think the Broncos have a much better roster than 437 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: they've been given credit for or do you think it's 438 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: mostly has to do with coaching, because going into the season, 439 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: it was pretty much consensus that Denver had the worst 440 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: roster in the NFL, and it's clear at this point 441 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: it's closer to ten or fifteen. Well, I think sometimes 442 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: when you have unknown guys, like they've gotten rid of 443 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of household brands and guys would name recognition. 444 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: So when you pivot off those guys and you go 445 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: to more random players that people can't just point out 446 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: of the lineup, if you coach those guys up, they 447 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: can become ten, fifteen million dollar players. So within a 448 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: couple of years they become household names. But when it 449 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: first happens, no one knows, and that's what coaching is. 450 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: I also think when you draft the last quarterback in 451 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: the first round and five guys go above them, people 452 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: just assume he's going to be the worst quarterback of 453 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: the bunch. When you get rid of a wide receiver 454 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: and Jerry Judy, who let's just face it, is a 455 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: famous wide receiver, even though he's pretty overrated, people just 456 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: think you're kind of tanking right. Defensively, you get rid 457 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: of Justin Simmons and all of a sudden, it's like 458 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: your defense is way better. And it's not just Patrick's 459 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: your team. To me, their whole defense plays fast. I 460 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: don't know, Like I don't think most casual fans could 461 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: just name off their defensive line. But when I watch 462 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: them play, their defensive line is very, very productive. They're 463 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: very very They're just a problem. And maybe that's why 464 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: Vance Joseph is now, you know, in the mix to 465 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: get coaching jobs, because you look like their best teams 466 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: had really famous guys on defense, from a keep to 467 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: leave to DeMarcus Ware to Von Miller. That's not really 468 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: the case. Subtracting Patrick sertain. So I think sometimes we 469 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: might look back in a couple of years ago they 470 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: had a bunch of impact players that we just didn't 471 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: know yet. That happens a lot in the NFL. I mean, 472 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: part of like, well, why is the Chiefs defense good? Well, 473 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: we've known about Chris Johns for a long time. It's 474 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: because a couple of years ago when they drafted McDuffie, 475 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: excellent player, Karlovski is excellent player, Bolton impact player. You 476 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: just start getting all these guys that are impact players 477 00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: that you draft or some for cheap. So good question. Hey, John, 478 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: big fan of the pod wanted to throw some pushback 479 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: on the Josh and Lamar discourse. The way you and 480 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: the media talk about Josh Allen, you would think he's 481 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. Why are we acting like Josh 482 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: is some world beater in the playoffs? If he beats 483 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, Mason Rudolph, and Skyler Thompson's Dolphins. Josh loses 484 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs in the playoffs every single year and 485 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: gets a pass. Lamar has shit the bed in the playoffs, 486 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: No denying it, but can we please stop acting like 487 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: Josh is some leaps and bounds better playoff performer. Also, 488 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: as far as the who's better argument goes, if Lamar 489 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: and Josh both retired today, Lamar is going to the 490 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, not Josh. Not saying Josh won't end 491 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: up in the Hall of Fame when it's all said 492 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: and done. But the only Hall of Fame quarterbacks playing 493 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: in this eerra right now are Mahomes and Lamar. Yeah, 494 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: I gotta push back on that one, Like, you've won 495 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: some MVPs in the regular season, then you haven't done 496 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: shit in the playoffs? Right? Who are you? Cam Newton 497 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: and even Cam like had some moments in the playoffs. 498 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: Josh is objectively better in the playoffs against the Chiefs 499 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: as well. Remember when he threw four touchdowns at Darrowhead 500 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: and his coaching staff blew with thirteen seconds, So like, yeah, 501 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: you beat the shit out of random teams, you guys 502 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: do as Lamar. But in the playoffs he has been bad. 503 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: Josh has not. Josh has been good. Like That's just 504 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: a fact. And the reason people I would say act 505 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: like he's better than Lamar over the aggregate is because 506 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: we put the emphasis in January, where he has been 507 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: an excellent player, and Lamar, who's superhuman when he plays 508 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: real teams, no longer looks superhuman when it matters the most. 509 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm not anti Lamar, but like MVPs at this point, 510 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: like I would say, his MVP last year is kind 511 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: of hollow. Seriously, the twenty nineteen to one was really impressive. 512 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: That was young player, dominated the league, and then he 513 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: got beat by the Titans in the first round. Last 514 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: year won he threw twenty four fucking touchdowns. It will 515 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: go down as one of the worst MVP years. And 516 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm not talking to him, I'm just talking like competition. 517 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I ever remember, like this year is a real MVP year, 518 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: and Lamar's having a way better season than last year, 519 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: except when he's played real teams, the Chiefs and the Steelers, 520 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: and he's lost both games, and he has not played well. 521 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: He had the kind of comeback against the Chiefs when 522 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: they were kind of out of it and came storming back. 523 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: Steeler game, he was atrocious. You can have a bad game, 524 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: no big deal, but he always has bad games against 525 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: good teams in big spots. Josh Allen's teammate lose. His 526 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: team's never been as good as the Ravens. The Ravens 527 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: last year had one of the greatest defenses in the 528 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: history of the league, and they held mahomes in the 529 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs to seventeen points and they lost. Last year, Josh 530 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Allen lost to the Cancer Chiefs at home twenty seven 531 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: to twenty four and his kicker missed. So it's like, 532 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: you guys lost seventeen points. So we're talking like Josh 533 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,239 Speaker 1: Allen's a Hall of Famer, He's going to the Hall 534 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: of Fame. Joe Burrow if he says Hell is going 535 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, like that's happening. Lamar Jackson 536 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: hanging his hat on MVPs right now feels a little 537 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: like Joel Embiid feels a little like James Harden. It's like, 538 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: why does he look so different? He even made me 539 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: a believer. I finally believed last year, and then I 540 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: put my money where my mouth was in my head, 541 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: and then I got burned, and I wanted to believe 542 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: again this year because I'm watching him play offense, I'm like, 543 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: holy shit, this is incredible. And then I watched the 544 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Steeler game. But I didn't get fooled in the Steeler game. 545 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: Why cause I bet the fucking Steelers as a home dog, 546 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: because I bet against them in that situation and they 547 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: were even worse than I thought. I didn't take the 548 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs as a dog against the Bills. Why Josh Allen 549 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: makes me nervous? Why? Because I know people with the 550 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs who do they fear more? I got news for you. 551 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: It's the dude in Buffalo. And this always feels like 552 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: why are people so quick? Like why do we have 553 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: to treat all this shit like little kids. We're talking 554 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: about the best of the best, and one guy has 555 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: just been awful in the playoffs. So and part of 556 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: the reason this conversation becomes so polarizing because he dominates 557 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: the regular season. He's got an eighty percent winning percentage 558 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: non playoffs, non Chiefs, non Steelers. He beats a shit 559 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: out of everybody, and everyone's like, it's not the drops, 560 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: the drops Josh Allen. Josh Allen loses too. Yeah, well 561 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: look at their numbers. Watch them play. One guy plays 562 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: way better in these games. Why does Lamar look so 563 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: bad against the good teams? Why? I don't know the answer. 564 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: I know I was told last year by someone a 565 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: close situation that I got tight against the Chiefs. Not 566 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: really debatable. We all watched the game. He got really 567 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: tight and it looked bad. The Steeler game somewhat of 568 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: those vibes. You know why, because in these big games 569 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: against the best teams, you're not running wild. It's not happening. 570 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: And maybe he wants to prove he can pass because 571 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't run as much. He kind of scrambles the 572 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: throw where Josh goes, fuck it, I'll play like Lamar. 573 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: What did you do just do against the Chiefs twelve 574 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: twelve carries for seventy yards. What do you do in 575 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: the playoff game against the Chiefs? Ran wild? Twelve carries 576 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: for seventy plus yards. Lamar is a dual threat. He's 577 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 1: not Steve Young or Joe Montana or Peyton Manning. If 578 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't run against the best teams and run for 579 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy yards, he's not gonna win these games. 580 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's trying to prove people wrong, 581 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: like bro we all view as the greatest dual threat 582 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in the history of the league. But you gotta 583 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: do both, like if you're gonna throw for thirty five 584 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: to forty times as a problem, I just the defense 585 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: of Lamar is just exhausting, like two things can be true. 586 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: He's had a remarkable career. He has been way better 587 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: than the Ravens thought he would be. They drafted him 588 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: thirty two. He wasn't even the first player they took 589 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: in that round. I forget Mark Andrews. They took later, 590 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: they took another time, oh, Hayden Hurst. But like him 591 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: in these big games is an It's there's no like 592 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: a subjective nature to this, It's objective. He is dramatically worse, 593 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: dramatically all time great player, non the elite teams, the 594 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: elite teams, different player. I watched Josh, same player. Sometimes 595 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: his team loses, it's Swartz, it's the fucking pros. Sometimes 596 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: you lose, you tip your hat. It was a huge 597 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: knock on Peyton Manning early in his career dominated then 598 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: he would get to the playoffs. He played the Patriots 599 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 1: and he looked like a fucking scrub. And I was 600 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: such a Peyton Manning fan, Like, what's going on? Finally 601 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: got over the humpany he never looked back. Maybe Lamar 602 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: will or maybe you won't. I don't know. James Harden 603 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 1: never did em Bead's never going to. But the defense 604 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: of them is just outrageous. Also, like, look at Josh's 605 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: career record in the playoffs, like he's winning games and 606 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: playing well in his losses. Like, if you play well 607 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: in your losses, tip your hat. Not everyone's Michael Jordan. 608 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: They don't always win. Sometimes you lose. But when you lose, 609 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: did you come to play? Or when you lose, did 610 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: you ship the bed? That's that's my thing. And again 611 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: this is someone who's come around. Long winded question here, 612 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: but bear with me, it'll all come together. Okay, let's 613 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 1: dive in here. Bradford. I'm currently listening to the mailbag 614 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: question about Hunter's usage in the NFL, and it had 615 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: me thinking, I think you're leaning toward him playing primarily 616 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: being a with some packages on offense. Is it possible 617 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: that he is a new age athlete with all the 618 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: access to cutting edge technology and the amount of money 619 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: these guys are spending on their bodies, they could play 620 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: both ways. Obviously not keeping up with the volume of 621 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: snaps he's doing right now, but maybe forty five and 622 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,439 Speaker 1: forty five each, so ninety total. I guess my real 623 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: question is this, if you're Travis and you've got to 624 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: be thinking about the long term when it comes to 625 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: getting paid, and if he's only playing one way, we 626 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: call it sixty five to seventy plays a game, in theory, 627 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: his career could be a lot longer, just based on 628 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: miles on the board that if he has played both 629 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: sides of the ball, playing closer to ninety a game. So, 630 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: if he's a new age athlete, what does the contract 631 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: look like? Do you pay him like a dB then 632 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: also pay him like a wide out on top of that, 633 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: It's obviously never been really done since Dion, but and 634 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: even Dion played like sparingly on offense. But how the 635 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: hell would a modern d GM go about it. I 636 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: think a modern day GM would want this. They want 637 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: him to play defensive back because it is much more 638 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 1: difficult to find a defensive back who's a Pro Bowl 639 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: level player than it is to find an impact wide receiver. 640 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: So if the GMS could all choose, they would want 641 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: him to play defensive back. Now, if you're Travis, his 642 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: agent and his team, you go, well, currently wide receivers 643 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: make a lot more than corners. Now maybe that changes, 644 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: you know, certain did he just get a contract this year? 645 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: Sas Gardner who was going to get a contract and 646 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: then he played terrible. Derek Stingley with the Texans will 647 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: get a big contract. But those contracts are not going 648 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: to be, you know, justin Jefferson Jamar Chase that type money. 649 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: It's not going to be twenty eight thirty to thirty 650 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: five million dollars ceedee Lamb. Now maybe that changes with 651 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: some of these young stars coming in the league. But 652 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: I I guess, just from a financial standpoint, you would 653 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: play wide receiver. The thing about going both ways, so 654 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: basically paying him a little bit of both, So paying 655 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: him like forty million dollars a year if I'm paying 656 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: him forty million dollars a year, let's just say let's 657 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: just let's just say he was playing right now, playing both, 658 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: and he was really good at both, and he needed 659 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: a new contract, and I was like, Okay, we'll give 660 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: him like kind of quarterback money because he plays two positions. 661 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: Forty forty five million dollars a year. Well, if he 662 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: gets injured, it's kind of a double whammy because I 663 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: would lose my starting wide receiver and I would lose 664 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: my starting number one corner. So if he's playing well, 665 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: it's great, But if he breaks his leg, I am 666 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: without two guys for a while. That's where I think 667 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: teams would struggle. Of like when I lose if Seedee 668 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: Lamb gets hurt, I just lose a wide receiver. But 669 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: if it's Travis Hunter, it'd be like I'd lose Ceede 670 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: Lamb and Digs or the Texans I would lose Stingley 671 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: and Nico Collins. If I told you this this weekend, 672 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans lose Stingley and Nico Collins for the season, 673 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: You'd be like, uh, they're screwed. But if you only 674 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: lose one of the two for three weeks, it's not 675 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: as bad. That's where I think it gets really complicated. 676 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: For front offices and coaching staffs. I think you'd like 677 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: him to just pick one dominated. I think you would 678 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: also say the competition is way more intense and difficult 679 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL than it is in the Big Twelve. 680 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: So for you to be a great player like Dion, 681 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: you do have to focus on one thing. Now, that 682 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't also do another thing. I think 683 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: the front offices, the coaches, everyone wants him to play 684 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: dB wide receivers, probably a little more fun because you're 685 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns and financially you get paid more money. It's 686 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: a complicated subject. I don't have a correct answer, so 687 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: I my guess would be tries to play both would 688 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: be my guest question for the back. The postgame analysts 689 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: after the Ravens Steeler game noted the Steelers last year 690 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: were seven to four before their quarterback got hurt. One 691 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: thing the Steelers did well last season during that run, 692 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: which included wins against playoff teams the Rams, the Packers, 693 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: the Browns the Ravens was not turning the ball over. 694 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 1: Coach Tomlin wants his quarterback to limit throwing the ball 695 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field between the linebackers and 696 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: the safeties. Reason being there are too many defensive players 697 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: in that area. Even the slightest inaccuracy can lead to 698 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: a turnover. Coach Tomlin has made a living winning the 699 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: turnover battle. My fear is playing this style will run 700 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: into problems in the playoffs. How do you see the 701 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: Steelers matching up against the Bills or the Chiefs. I 702 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: think they are more equipped to beat the Chiefs because 703 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: they played the same game. So if I'm playing the 704 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: Chiefs among the Steelers, I can win. Like I just 705 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: did against the Ravens eighteen to sixteen, fifteen to twelve, 706 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: fifteen to fourteen, I can win that game. I'm kind 707 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: of the mirror image of the Chiefs. You would say 708 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: right now, I mean, you would much rather have Mahomes 709 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: than Russell, but you know you would take I mean, 710 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: Pickens is the best wide receiver out of the group. 711 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: You know, we'll see Patako will come back, so the 712 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: running games will be somewhat even. But you would say 713 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs defense with some of their I mean, 714 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: their corner situation is not as good as it was 715 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: last year, and the Chiefs defense. I would give the 716 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: edge to the Steelers, assuming you know they play in 717 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs in Highsmiths healthy, their defensive line slightly better, 718 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: even though Chiefs defensive line is good too. I would 719 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: say that it would be hard for them to beat 720 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: the Bills. I would pick the Bills against them. I 721 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: would pick the Chiefs against them, but I will acknowledge 722 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: that like they could beat the Chiefs in that kind 723 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:27,240 Speaker 1: of game, can they beat the Ravens three times? Good question? 724 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: I don't know my question about our current generation of quarterbacks. 725 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: So outside of Mahomes, who do you think will be 726 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,280 Speaker 1: the first to win a ring? Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, 727 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert? And how do you think could 728 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: possibly retire without ever winning the Big One? It's a 729 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: good question. I would say, let's just play the odds. 730 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: The Chiefs are not in the Super Bowl this year. 731 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: Let's just play the odds. So if the Chiefs are 732 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,879 Speaker 1: not in the Super Bowl, I would say it's base 733 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: just between four teams. Then I would not say the 734 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 1: Broncos are getting there, and I would say it would 735 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: be very difficult given their offensive line play. That the 736 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,240 Speaker 1: Texans are there so it would be between the Chargers, 737 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Ravens and the Bills. So if 738 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: we say the Steelers feels like the way Russell played 739 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: the other day, like, is that gonna win you three 740 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: playoff games? Probably not, So it would be Lamar Jackson, 741 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:34,240 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert or Josh Allen. And depending on the Lions, 742 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: if they're playing the Lions, the Lions probably favored in 743 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But that would be a very good 744 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: opportunity for one of those teams to win a Super Bowl. 745 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: And you would say, if it's let's just say Lamar 746 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: Jackson or Josh Allen, they would have the better quarterback. 747 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 1: And I know he's having a great year, but every 748 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: team in the league, including the Lions and every person 749 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: listening to this, would take Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen 750 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: over Jared Goff. So they are more than likely, just 751 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: based on statisticals or statistical anomalies, that the Chiefs would 752 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 1: have to be to get to three straight Super Bowls. 753 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it's happened since the Bills in the 754 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: early nineties. I mean, it's been a long time. Let alone, 755 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: no one's ever won three straight Super Bowls. Is one 756 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: of those guys gonna have the opportunity if I was 757 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: a betting man, like, I think Herbert's gonna be in 758 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,479 Speaker 1: some so, I mean Jim Harbaugh's proven Liken, They're only 759 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: gonna be better moving forward. I mean the Ravens and 760 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: the Bills are just always good. So I think all 761 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: three of those guys I have more faith than Josh Allen, Like, 762 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: I'm not backing from that. How could you have faith 763 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: in Lamar Jackson in these big games? Doesn't mean he 764 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: can't do it, but based on the information we have, 765 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: he becomes a different guy, and Josh Allen does not. 766 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: So if I get both these guys the regular season 767 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: version and only one of them plays like the regular 768 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: season version in the playoffs, and they both have good teams, 769 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: I'll think the guy that just plays the same, and 770 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: Herbert's a little bit of a wild card. We haven't 771 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: really seen much of him, right. He played in the 772 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 1: one playoff game where in the second half against the 773 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: Jags he wasn't good and they lost. Joe Burrow has 774 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 1: already been there. We'll get back. Well, if I tell 775 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: you Belichick's coach, maybe he like them more. A report 776 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: on on three just came out saying head coach Dan 777 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: Lanning is generating interest amongst some NFL teams. Landing has 778 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: stated the grass is damn green in Eugene, but NFL 779 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: money is greener. I believe him, being from Kansas City area, 780 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: he would only leave the Ducks to coach the Chiefs. 781 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,760 Speaker 1: Do you think he's ready for an NFL head coaching 782 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: job if he's only in his third year of being 783 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: a head coach? Thanks for the content. I would say 784 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: NFL money. I mean he's got Phil Knight in Nike, 785 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,280 Speaker 1: so he has if they want to pay him fifteen sixteen, 786 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen million, they can pay him whatever they want. 787 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Dan Lanning is never coached in the NFL, 788 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 1: so it would be a pretty dramatic jump. Dan Lanning 789 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: is I think he's my age. He's actually a company 790 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: more in eighty six. I was born eighty four, so 791 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: he's thirty eight years old. He has been coaching major 792 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: college football since twenty eleven. You know, young guys have 793 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:25,399 Speaker 1: been getting head coaching jobs, right, Zach Taylor, Not Zach, 794 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,800 Speaker 1: I meant McVeigh Kyle. I guess Zach Taylor is relatively 795 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: young these guys have spent a lot of time in 796 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 1: the NFL, So I do think there's a pretty dramatic 797 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: jump now with guys getting paid in college. With the 798 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: NIL the transfer portal, maybe you are more equipped to 799 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: deal with like guys making money and the professional aspect 800 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: of football, because that's kind of what college football is now, 801 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: especially at Oregon where they're paying a shitload of money 802 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 1: to their entire team. So yeah, I mean, he's clearly 803 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: really good, you know, the guys that have believed in him, 804 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: or Nick Saban and Kirby Smart and Phil Knight, So 805 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't think we can really debate. Dan Lanning is 806 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: an impressive guy. I would say in this world of 807 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 1: NIL and transfer portal, he has one of the best 808 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 1: jobs in the country because of the institutional money supporting 809 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: the program from Nike, which is part of the Oregon institution. 810 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: It's all like one, so it doesn't get any better. Like, 811 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 1: I don't think you leave Oregon if you're him for 812 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: any other job like Georgia or Alabama is not a 813 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: better job than Oregon. In the NIL era, Ohio state whatever, 814 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: He's got one of the two or three or four 815 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,479 Speaker 1: best jobs in the country. He's proven he's winning big, 816 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: so I would say I didn't read much into that 817 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: report and I don't really have a take beside, like, 818 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,919 Speaker 1: I bet he's coaching Oregon next year. I wouldn't bet 819 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: my life on it, but if I was a betting 820 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: man right now, I would say he's coaching Oregon in 821 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty five. How would you rank the 822 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: AFC teams the Chiefs don't want to face. I know 823 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: they aren't as talented, but I can't help but feel 824 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: the Chargers would be one of their least desirable matchups. 825 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: Second question, what would the ideal path for the Chargers 826 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: be to reach the AFC championship. Herbert plus Harbaugh rivals 827 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: every other head coaching combo, and I think this team 828 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 1: matches very well with AFC opponents. That's a good question. 829 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 1: I would say the Chiefs are very comfortable playing Lamar Jackson. 830 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,919 Speaker 1: I mean, these people think I'm a Lamar Jackson hater, 831 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: but again that is on my side. I think the 832 00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs if were picking the top teams, they would Lamar 833 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: Jackson and Russell Wilson. They would be okay playing. I 834 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: would say the two guys. They would much rather play 835 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: those two quarterbacks than they would Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. 836 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna lose a we're gonna learn a lot 837 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: about the Chargers. Who played the Chiefs in a good 838 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: game earlier this season. Don't remember that much about it, 839 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure the score was close. They play 840 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: the Chiefs played the Steelers coming up the Chargers. So 841 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: the Chargers play the Ravens this week. I didn't even 842 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: realize that Chargers play the Ravens a Monday night football. 843 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 1: That's a good Monday night football game. So I think 844 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: we'll learn a lot about Jim Harbaugh's defense because if 845 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: he takes out Lamar Jackson, then you'd say that they'd 846 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: be comfortable playing those teams and the Chiefs, you know. 847 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: I think what ends up happening is there's a g 848 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 1: if the Chargers win that game, the Chargers are gonna 849 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 1: be the five seed. So the Chargers route would be 850 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 1: the Texans in the first round as the four or five. 851 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: I think there's a decent chance the Chargers could be 852 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: favored in that game if anything'd be a pick them. 853 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: So the Chargers win that game, then they would play 854 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Assuming the Ravens the Steelers or the Bills. 855 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: You know, in some form worked the two three. I 856 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: guess in this scenario, with the Chargers beating the Ravens, 857 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: the Steelers would be the three seed and the Bills 858 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: would probably be the two or vice versa. And if 859 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: one of those two teams beats the Ravens in the 860 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: first round, then they would play each other in the 861 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 1: second round, So then it would be Chargers, Chiefs, Bill, 862 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: Steelers or Bill's Ravens. I guess potentially, if the Ravens 863 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 1: were to lose, I'm pretty sure you reseed in the NFL, 864 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 1: so it could be Ravens, Chiefs, Chargers, Bills. I think 865 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 1: if you're the Chargers, you would rather play the Chiefs 866 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: because you know, you're comfortable new staff. But Harbaugh and 867 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: Mentor and Greg Roman will have played Andy Reid and Spags. 868 00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,279 Speaker 1: That would be the third time playing them, so I 869 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: would say they're the easiest path would be because they're 870 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: gonna get road games beside. Basically probably in all of them, 871 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 1: it would be the Texans, then the Chiefs, and then 872 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,280 Speaker 1: you just you know, you would rather avoid the Bills 873 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: and get probably the Steelers. I would say, I know 874 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers beat them this year, but Herbert got hurt 875 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: in that game. They lost twenty to ten. That's probably 876 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: I think the route I would go. I would say Texans, Chiefs, Steelers. 877 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 1: Appreciate everyone listening. Have a great day and we will 878 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: see you after Thursday night football the Steelers against the 879 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. The Doug Pown have a great day. Audios. 880 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 1: The volume
