I'm actually 18 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: realized I'm probably more of a Russ Hater, even though 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: I liked him the majority of his career. Now I'm 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: just on L OB side. So I recommended it was. 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: It's a good football listening to high level football guys.

Obviously react to the Thursday night 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: Amazon game, which, you know, a little bit of a colmdown. 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, last week Herbert Mahomes that games 25 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: like staying in the four seasons or the Ritz. Tonight was, 26 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, probably like staying in a decent Marriott. Still 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: better than nothing. And Listen, I'm a Marriott Guy, so 28 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, Marriott's a big difference. You can you can 29 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: stay at like a JW, you can stay like the 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: springhill sweets. I wouldn't say today was a Spring Hill sweets, 31 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: probably like the courtyard, something like that, but it's still football. 32 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: So we'll dive into what we saw tonight and then 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff going on this weekend. While 34 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm stucky on talk a little gambling. Um, I've been 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: terrible gambling. I mean last week.

Let's dive into football. 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: You know, watching the game as a as a podcaster, 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: when that's your profession, you're constantly thinking like what do 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: I want to talk about? And in a game like tonight, 46 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: let's face it, last week BP fastball. On Thursday night 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: you had the first ever Amazon game, you had Patrick 48 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Mahomes and you had the pretty legendary Justin Herbert performance 49 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: with broken ribs or shadowed rib cartilage or whatever he 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: had going on. Tonight, you know, unless you're from the 51 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: heartland Pittsburgh, Ohio, wasn't the greatest game, but there is 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: a lot going on. It's the Pittsburgh steelers against a 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: team that we all know is really good, in the 54 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: browns in terms of their roster, and they have a 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: quarterback that we all can red flag as a human being, 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: but we have to acknowledge when he comes back they're 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good. I'm gonna Start, though, not with 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: the winning team, but with the losing team, and one 59 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: thing that hit me tonight, and I've been saying this 60 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: forever is that Mr Robiskie is not very good. Nothing personal, 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: nothing against the guy. Honestly, the more good quarterbacks we 62 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: have in this league the better. I rooted for him 63 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: when he was with the bears, but it really struck 64 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: me tonight. You do who's fantastic at their jobs. You 65 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: know what organization is. I mean, clearly one of the 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: best right now in the league the Buffalo Bills. You 67 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: know why? They draft well, they evaluate their own guys 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: well and they evaluate outside personnel well. That's the key 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: to being a good organization, right. It's not just drafting well, 70 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: it's not just deciding who to keep in your own team, 71 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: but understanding what players on other teams are either undervalued 72 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: or would be good values for your team. Think about 73 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: what the bills did a couple of years ago. They 74 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: traded the twenty second pick. TURNED OUT TO BE Justin 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: Jefferson for Stefon dicks, and Stefon digs has basically been there, 76 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. What did they realize last year? You know what? 77 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: We need a backup quarterback. Keyword there, back up. A 78 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: Guy who's gonna be a good backup quarterback. That if 79 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: our star quarterback goes down, we could function. And you 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: know who that guy was, Mr Bisky, for two and 81 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: a half million dollars. And then this other organization, let's 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: let's face it, historically has been one of the best, 83 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: not just in the national football league, not just in 84 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: pro sports, but been one of the model organizations in 85 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: American business when it comes to consistency. Right, very stable, 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: they can handle problems. They've had three coaches in the 87 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: history of the of the football team that when you 88 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: say the Pittsburgh steelers, whether you work on Wall Street 89 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: or whether you work in high school football, people go yeah, 90 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: that's a high level place. I gotta say it feels 91 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: like they're trending, like what are we doing? Signed Ms 92 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: Robiski to be our starting quarterback. And Listen, I judge 93 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: you on your actions, not your words. They did not 94 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: pay him starting quarterback money. They paid him, I think, 95 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: basically the same as the bills were paying him three 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: million bucks. So it's not like they gave him fifteen 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: million dollars to be the bridge quarterback, but their actions. 98 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: Tomlin was adamant. He's our starting quarterback and he keeps 99 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: rolling with them. And listen, you don't need to be 100 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: some NFL personnel man to see Mitch can move around. 101 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Pretty Good Athlete, pretty good arm. But you watch him 102 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: you go I don't know if this guy is a 103 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: very good quarterback. He can make a throw here, a 104 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: throw there, a play here with his legs, but over 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: the course of a game. Because you have to remember 106 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: a game is not one drive. Any talented player in 107 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: the NFL can have one drive to why so many 108 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: like so many players. What's so unique about football is 109 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: you can find a guy six ft five pounds and 110 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: you can just get him in a workout and whether 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: you're built Jolian, Bill Belichick or Billy Johnson down the street, 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: you can figure out, God, that's a good athlete. Watch 113 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: the guy move around. Take a DB type body, six FT, 114 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: ninety pounds. He can just run into straight line. It's 115 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: why we've had so many workout warriors in the history 116 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: of the sport of football. Right guys from college that 117 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: are average, go work out well and then they get 118 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: drafted and they're just not good nfl players like you 119 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: just watch Mitch move around. Your God, it's pretty talented guy. 120 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: But the sport of football encapsulates more than just your 121 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: athletic attributes your arm strength. Like you have to play 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: the gape. You have to physically handle everything that's being 123 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: thrown at you right. If you're a quarterback, guys chasing you, 124 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: stepping up in the pocket, then mentally reading defenses, make 125 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: the right checks and then physically be accurate with a football. 126 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: And I just watched Mr Bisky and he's just not 127 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: that good now when it comes to a backup quarterback, 128 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: I would take him in my backup quarterback every day 129 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: because he can just function. Most backup order backs. You're 130 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: immediately losing right. It's immediately a loss. That's not necessarily Mitch, 131 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: but if Mitch has to start five Games, seven games 132 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: a season and your team isn't basically flawless. Never forget 133 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: years ago when the bears won twelve games, I think 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: it was their defense with Vic Fangio was dominant. I'm 135 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: pretty sure they led the league that year in defensive touchdowns. 136 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson had like ten picks. They were 137 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: kicking ass and taking names. You know the steelers. I 138 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: removed T J watt like that's a problem. If I 139 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: go to the rams and I remove Aaron Donald, we 140 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: got issues and ultimately, Mr Bisky is just not good 141 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: enough to overcome those and Naji's banged up. They're just 142 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: not the same. But they are making a mistake every 143 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: game they started like you drafted a guy twenty overall 144 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: who forty niners. When they sat him behind Jimmy Garoppolo, 145 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: it made sense right. Trey Lance was a one year starter. 146 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: He needed a lot of work. It just he was 147 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: a total project. Jimmy got to start and Jimmy Garoppolo 148 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: had a lot of equity. It makes no sense here. 149 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: Mr Whisky has no equity with the team. He's like 150 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: a three million dollar player. Why would you take a 151 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: guy overall who's a several years starter, even if you're 152 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: like well, you know he doesn't have the highest ceiling whatever. 153 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: What's the point in waiting? I just do not understand. 154 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: And you'RE gonna lose game after game consistently if you're 155 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: all out, Mr Whiskey. How the one game they've won 156 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals, burrow through like twenty five interceptions 157 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: in the first half and they couldn't get a sizeable 158 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: lead because Mitch in their offense is just so average 159 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: and you can blame the coordinator and that always happens. 160 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: Do you know when a lot of coordinators look Shitty, 161 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: unless you're Russell Wilson's coordinators all those years in Seattle, 162 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: when your quarterback sucks. You know when your coordinators will 163 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: usually look pretty good when you have like a top 164 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: ten quarterback. I mean, this isn't rocket science. There's only 165 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: so many coordinators who can take Jimmy Garoppolo and make 166 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: super bowl runs right. That doesn't usually happen. Even Sean 167 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: McVeigh by the end with Jared Goff, was losing his 168 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: mind most Kyle, there's a reason they drafted Trey Lance, 169 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: right you, everyone's searching for that top quarterback and everyone, 170 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: and listen, I don't follow the Pittsburgh steelers, like any 171 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh steeler fan listening, and I know you guys kind 172 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: of have a heart on when it comes to Matt 173 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: Canada sucks, but, like, I watched their quarterback situation. I 174 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: don't know what he can do. I mean Mitch is 175 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: not good, just like Roethlisberger wasn't good last year. And 176 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: they're they're not going to make the playoffs if they 177 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: do not make a quarterback switch, and even that doesn't 178 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: guarantee him anything, but they got no chance with the 179 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: guy they're rolling out right now. And on the flip side, 180 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: a lot of props to Jacoby per said, he played very, 181 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: very well tonight. And one thing is pretty clear. We 182 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: knew this, but once you see it it's very evident. 183 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: The brows are stacked and they are actually built for 184 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: a credible, functional backup, fringe starting quarterback. Why? They have 185 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: the best one to running back combination in the league. 186 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: I had a buddy who is a you know, not 187 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: a GM, he's like the number two with his organization, 188 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: and we were talking like a week ago and we're 189 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: talking about the best Ning backs in the league. He's like, 190 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: I think the two best guys, and this is before 191 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, this culture and shambles, were Chubb and Jonathan Taylor. 192 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, you look at Derrick Henry, the 193 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: Arrow is probably pointing the other way. Those guys are 194 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: complete backs. And, in fairness to Jonathan Taylor, who's a Stud, 195 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: love that guy there. Yet mattie I, she got frank 196 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: that that offenses and shambles. Stefanski, that guy could dial 197 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: up the run game. And you watch Nick Chubb and 198 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: his backup is Kareem Hunt, best one to combination in 199 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: the league. Amari Cooper one of the more bizarre players 200 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: and I've watched his career starting to finish. Big Time 201 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: talent in a weird way. He's been very productive, I 202 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: mean very productive in his career. Yet he still feels 203 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: like an underachiever. But he's a really good player. I 204 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: know Najoku drives people nuts with the browns freak talent. 205 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Obviously their offensive line is good. Miles Garrett is just 206 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: a monster. They got other dudes in that front seven. 207 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: They got good dbs like this team is equipped to 208 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: just handle a quarterback playing under control. Now we've seen 209 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: Jacobe oh for the years get in over skis throw 210 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: some picks. But if you can run the ball, and 211 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: right before basically the final joke drive and when the 212 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: steelers punting back to him, hunt and I went to 213 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: the box score, uh, Chubb and hunt had nineteen and eleven, 214 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: so they had thirty carries. They definitely ended up with 215 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: more than thirty carries. To me, if they can get 216 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: to thirty plus carries a game, they're gonna be very 217 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: competitive with anyone they play and they're gonna play a 218 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: lot of teams with way less talent this team. It's 219 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: not crazy to me that they win until Deshaun Watson 220 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: gets back. And you could argue deshaun Watson hasn't played 221 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: football in almost two years. This notion that he's just 222 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: gonna come back and hit the ground running. We saw him. 223 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: I know it was a preseason game, but you could 224 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: tell he was tense. Can you imagine just inserting this guy? 225 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: What's he been doing? Training on the side with quincy avery, 226 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: throwing balls to random dudes who aren't playing in the NFL? 227 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: That ain't the same of what Jacobe is doing now. Clearly, 228 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: from a ceiling standpoint, if he's playing well, he's dramatically better. 229 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: But we haven't seen the guy play in a long, 230 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: long time. So if they keep going as they're going 231 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: and they're not gonna not be competitive as long as 232 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: they stay relatively healthy, because there's two stack. I think 233 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: Stefanski is a pretty good coach. Like it's pretty clear 234 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: that last year Baker is not that good. Like right 235 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: now Jacoby were set the way he's playing, is a 236 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: better player than Baker Mayfield. He's clearly just a more 237 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: consistent human being and uh, I gotta get the browns props, 238 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: not for the move with the Shawn Watson I never 239 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: would have done it, but just the team that they've built, 240 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: the team they have together, and clearly they had a 241 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: lot of faith in Jacoby and it's kind of proving 242 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: to not be the wrong decision. And I'll say this. 243 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Two Games I went back and peaked at because everything 244 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: everyone was like, oh my God, this was a crazy ending. 245 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: One was the falcons and the Rams Pretty Nutt nutty ending. Right. 246 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: They had the PUTT blocked. Uh Cooper, uh not cooper. 247 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: Cup fumbles the ball like it was a Batshit, crazy, 248 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: like they were killing them, and then some turnovers made 249 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: it close. To me. The jets come back was a 250 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: little freakish one. There was a blown coverage. FLACCO hits 251 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: the guy for like fifty, sixty yards. Then they get 252 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: an onside kick right at their star receiver. But it's like, Hey, Stefanski, 253 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: if you've been watching a Marii Cooper for a long time, 254 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: to me he's not an onside kick that guy. That's 255 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: that's not that's a Larry Fitzgerald thing and that's a 256 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: Julio Jones thing. That ain't Amari Cooper's deal and listen, 257 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: it's not everyone's deal, but maybe Hopkins in Arizona. He 258 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: would be cut out to do on side kicks. Jerry Rice, 259 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean that ain't a Maori Cooper. So I put 260 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: that on the coaches as much as I put it 261 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: on a Mari I. I blame coaches for putting players 262 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: who aren't equipped to do certain things in the wrong decision. 263 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: Either way, it was a pretty freaky ending and I 264 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: know a lot of people like Nick Chubb should have 265 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: got out of bounds. Well, yeah, if you're like up 266 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: one and it makes it still a one score game. 267 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: It made it a two score game. It was fourteen 268 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: points of the dude just hits the extra point. No 269 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: problem with Nick Chubb scoring. My ultimately, my point is 270 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: basically could be two and oh like, I actually thought 271 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: the browns look pretty damn good in that game. Just 272 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: a crazy implosion at the end, which was a pretty 273 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: freaky implosion. Took a blown coverage and an onside kick. 274 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: That's gonna happen once like every other season. So to 275 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: me the steelers got to make a quarterback change very 276 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: quickly and the Browns, like I don't think they're going away, 277 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: even with their backup quarterback.

This guy is, you know, basically Jon Gruden, 309 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: but he's actually good at his job. He's the guy 310 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: that's out of football. UH, and I'm talking about John Grewd, 311 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: not currently, but back when he was doing Monday night 312 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: football and it was just the constant hype machine of 313 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: like is the University of Tennessee USC The Dallas Cowboys, 314 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts and the Tampa Bay buccaneers. Finally the 315 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: raiders got I mean it was just always who's gonna 316 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: hire John Gruden, and it turned out that was the 317 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: wrong move. The difference is Sean Payton has a fifteen 318 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: year history of consistently winning. You know, both have super 319 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: bowl champions, but one guy like Sean Payton's a better coach. 320 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's really debatable. And Sean Payton 321 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: was asked on a podcast. Sorry, I didn't write down 322 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: the PODCAST. I watched the clip a couple of local 323 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: guys from New Orleans. I know they covered the saints, 324 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: so they they've known sean a long time, I'm sure. UH, 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: bad big Jay here. Uh. That's why I don't consider 326 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: myself a journalist. I am not not good at the 327 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: INS and outs of the profession. I just talk and uh, 328 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to give credit where credit is due, 329 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: so I apologize and a lot of people give this 330 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: podcast credit and I appreciate it. But UH. So he 331 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: said on the podcast that when he was asked about 332 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: whether he would return, basically at the right situation came up, 333 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: he would obviously be very interested and I think any 334 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: time that you take a step away from whatever you're doing, 335 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: it can help give you clarity of what to look for. 336 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: And I mean obviously when you're a coach, especially of 337 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: his kind of stature, and you have the juice and 338 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: the gravitas that Sean Payton would wield any time he 339 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: would be interested in a job. Like, let's face if 340 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: you ever wanted to land Lincoln Riley, he was gonna 341 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: have a checklist of some things he wanted, right, like 342 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: when Texas wanted Nick Saban, it was they were gonna 343 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: have to bend over backwards separate for money. So obviously, 344 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: when you're a coach of Sean Payton stature, there would 345 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: be a couple must haves. Right. One, the money slash 346 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: the owner, right, I mean he's a fifteen, eighteen million 347 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: dollar a year coach. You gotta have the cash to 348 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: pay it and he's gonna judge you what you bring 349 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: the table, your resources into the quarterback. Right. Like I listen, 350 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: I think the older we get we all have things 351 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: we look for, whether it be in business dealings, whether 352 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: it be employment, like I know I have a couple 353 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: of deal breakers that I don't even mess with. You know, 354 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: obviously some things are just black and white. Is it 355 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: worth it? Is this enough money? Uh, if you're just 356 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: paying for me a one off thing on a given week. 357 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: And Listen, I'm not to my own horn here, but 358 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: I say no to things all the time. I did 359 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: something involved the forty this fall that wasn't of interest 360 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: to me and honestly, the money was a smaller portion 361 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: as my time. If you'RE gonna get my time, is 362 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: this worth it for me? Like, what am I getting 363 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: out of this? Right, and it's why, typically, when I'm 364 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: do business deals like I gotta have some equity, and 365 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm not acting like I'm more buffet here, but I 366 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: gotta have equity in the juice or it's not worth it, 367 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: because the most valuable thing I have is my time. 368 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: It's the one thing I've learned in my thirties, as 369 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm really not that far away from my forties. I 370 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: turned thirty eight here in a couple of weeks. In 371 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: time like this could end at any moment, like I'm 372 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: talking life. So anything that you give time to, you 373 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: better see some value in it, and I think the 374 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: faster you realize that, like, okay, if I'm gonna and 375 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: no one dedicates more of their time than a football coach. 376 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: Is this worth it for me? Now? Obviously he's operating 377 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: at a different financial level than ninety nine point nine 378 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: percent of humans. One He's already ultra rich and too, 379 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: if he does come back, he will get an enormous contract. 380 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: But like as we just saw with John Gruden, got 381 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars, it was a disaster. The situation 382 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: was not set up to succeed. Dealing with the owner 383 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: of the move like it was. It was a bumpy road, 384 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: even if he knew what he was doing, let alone, 385 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: like if he had his struggles. It was a disaster 386 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: and I think the faster you realize exactly what you 387 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: want in life, in what you were looking for, the 388 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: easier it is to operate and the less you get 389 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: caught up with the unknown, the uncertain like should I 390 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: do this, should I not do this? and to me, 391 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: if I'm Sean Payton, the owner and the quarterback are 392 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: basically all that matters, because if you're willing to pay me, 393 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: you're willing to give me enormous resources to hire my staff, 394 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: and I know what I'm looking for. But the number 395 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: one thing you can have is being quarterback unknown, quarterback purgatory, 396 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: and then be lost. It's why I actually don't see 397 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: him as a fit with the cowboys because dealing with 398 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: Jerry and, let's face it, like, is Dak Prescott that good? 399 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: Is Dak Prescott that good? He's solid, like you can compete. 400 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: But like, if you're Sean Payton, you're coming back. You 401 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: want to win the Super Bowl, you want to win 402 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: another super bowl. Now, the one job that could intrigue 403 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: him if eventually he gets to a spot where the 404 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: team has the number one overall pick and he can 405 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: take a quarterback he likes and basically just groom the 406 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: Guy He wants like. To me, that would be a 407 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: curve ball in this situation. A couple of years ago 408 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,239 Speaker 1: the Jags job, urban or took it. Why? Because they 409 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: had the number one overall pick. He would not have 410 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: taken the jags job if they had the seventh overall pick. 411 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: Now it turns out urban Meyer was completely over a skis, 412 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: but let's face it, Trevor Lawrence was the reason he 413 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: took the job. So to me, the job to keep 414 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: an eye on would be the chargers, because is Brandon 415 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: Staley cut out to be a playoff coach, we would say. 416 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: After year one, when he lost to rich PASACCIA on 417 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: week eight teen, you would say no. Now maybe this 418 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: year he changes the course. He should. He has one 419 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league, but his quarterbacks 420 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: already banged up, his offensive line is already banged up. 421 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: Like they're the chargers, they consistently lose a lot. Now 422 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: the problem there, if you're Sean Payton, is like their owner, 423 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: is historically cheap. He struggles with spending money. People like well, 424 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: he spends money on the players. Yeah, everyone spends money 425 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: on the players. This is the national football league. He 426 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: doesn't spend money on the coaches. So would he be 427 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: willing to pay like right now, Brandon Staley, my guest, 428 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: makes six million bucks. Would he be willing to maybe 429 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: pay three x that, because that's profit he gets to 430 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: he gets to pocket? That's money and really profit like 431 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: keeps in the savings account? That would be the question 432 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: mark on Sean Payton because to me that would be 433 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: the number one job I would be interested in. The 434 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: chargers l a big market Justin Herbert, because if you're 435 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna go all if you're gonna come back like it 436 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: takes a lot of time. Like I knew people that 437 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: work with John Group. He was making a ton of 438 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: money at ESPN and working for corona life. When he 439 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: came back, he worked crazy hours like that. You don't 440 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: half in, half out being a football coach. When you 441 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: do that, you fail. But I believe Sean Payton will 442 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: come back, but I don't think it's a lock that 443 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: he comes back this year because if the situation isn't right, 444 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. Don't just take obviously, sometimes you 445 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: gotta take a job because you need a job, you 446 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: need money, you need income, of course, but if you 447 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: do have the flexibility to be choosy, you know, take 448 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: your time find the right fit. Uh. Another thing that 449 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: I've noticed is two teams this week a lot of 450 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: people have anointed now one team I thought was gonna 451 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: be really good. I'd argue there even better than I thought. 452 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: The Eagles another team that I was questionable that. Listen, 453 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: you gotta win like that against the Ravens. I gotta 454 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: take you as like a legitimate playoff contender. Now I 455 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna beat the bills. They play the 456 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: bills this week. The dolphins, but could you get to 457 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: tender eleven win that wins? Hell, yeah, I mean, you've 458 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: got all those offensive weapons, Jalen wattle, tyreek kill. But 459 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: I've always fascinated by this and I think you see 460 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: it in society. A lot people that are new new 461 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: to money right, a small percentage of people that are 462 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: new to money handle it really well. A lot of 463 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: people blow it, they buy stupid ship. A lot of 464 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: them blow money and then lose it. All Right, a 465 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: lot of people don't handle success well. In fairness, there 466 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: is not a playbook. They don't teach you that in academia. Hey, 467 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: when when you make uh, when you go up from 468 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: making fifty K to making two million dollars, here's what 469 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: you should do right. It's another thing when you look 470 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: at your bank account of like what do I want 471 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: to do? What do I want to buy? Right? No 472 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: different than like you're a backup that all of a 473 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: Sud and you're a starter. Then all of a sudden 474 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: you're good and everyone's anointing you. It's hard because the 475 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: wind blows the hardest at the top of the mountain. 476 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: Right when you're good, when you're successful, everyone then is 477 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: gunning for you. It's easy when you're the little dog 478 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: and you just get to swing right. It's one thing. 479 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: Like you. If anyone listening to this that has little 480 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: dogs and you take the little dog for a walk, 481 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: what do those little dogs do when they see the 482 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: big gas dogs? They bark, they go nuts. But it's 483 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: like if they actually had to get into a fight 484 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: with that big pit bull, with that lab, with whatever 485 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: big dog, they would lose, but they sure act tough. 486 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: You know, when they're far away on a leash, it 487 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: changes if you put them into a in an offense, 488 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: no leashes, just the two dogs. They would run to 489 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: the corner real quick. And I'm always fascinated by teams 490 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 1: once they start having success, how they react. Now I 491 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: think the Eagles and the dolphins both had a little 492 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: success last year. Right. The Eagles made the playoffs because 493 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: not I got you in in the NFC. The dolphins 494 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: also won nine, though the A F C was harder 495 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: to make, so they didn't make the playoffs. But these 496 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: teams have won some games. Last year with the core 497 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: guys and then, especially the dolphins, they had tyreek hill, 498 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: like all tyreek hill has been doing for the last 499 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: five six years is winning and winning big like that. 500 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: That guy is used to playing in late January, early December. 501 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: So they have guys that know how to win. Obviously 502 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: some of those core eagle guys, Fletcher, Cox, Kelsey, I 503 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: mean those guys have won a super bowl right and 504 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to watch how people react when they're putting 505 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: this situation. The Eagles uh play the commanders, who had 506 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: a pretty embarrassing loss last week to the lions, not 507 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: because they lost the game, but someone that bet on 508 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: the game kind of got pushed around, kind of got 509 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: you know that they were. That was bad. Like the 510 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: lions ran circles around them. Now the dolphins. What I'll 511 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: be interested here is they're playing buffalo and buffalo is 512 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: just drawing people right now. They look like, as Ray 513 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: Lewis once told the stanford cardinal in a in the 514 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: final four of the N I t be piste off 515 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: for greatness, and it feels like the buffalo bills right 516 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: now are piste off for greatness. They are not F 517 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: and around and I don't know. I mean, are the 518 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: eagles just gonna be cruise to fourteen wins? If jalen 519 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: hurts plays like that, it's very sustainable right. They're good 520 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: on defense. They got playmakers everywhere. They can score, they 521 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: can run the ball, their quarterback can run, they got 522 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: weapons outside. They kind of got it all. They have 523 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: a well balanced operation, plus their division. Let's face it, 524 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: I know the giants are two and Oh, but day 525 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: ball's coaching you know out of his butt right now 526 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: that they're not that good. They don't have a quarterback. 527 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: The cowboys, I mean to me they look like a seven, 528 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: eight win team and the commanders just cannot be trusted, 529 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: even though the commanders actually have some talent. But listen 530 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: when I say can't be trusted, like at any moment 531 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: Wentz can just play pretty average. He's the thing. Like 532 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: I want to buy into the commanders, but he's the 533 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: reason I'm Larry. He's the reason I'm hesitant. So I'm 534 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: fascinated by both these two teams. How they react. You know, 535 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: they keep winning like they're gonna keep getting anointed. Now 536 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: I'm not expecting the dolphins to win this game, but 537 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: if they can play well coming off an emotional win 538 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: like that, I'll be impressed. The same thing with the eagles. 539 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles winning in that game Monday night. 540 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: Football kind of hype, a lot of people picking the 541 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: Vikings and then they kind of brought it and now 542 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: both these two teams, like Vikings, or I mean Dolphins Eagles, 543 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: two lock playoff teams. Now the eagles should get there 544 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: just because of the division. The dolphins, though, I'm still 545 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm still interested to watch how this thing plays out. 546 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: The best part about the NFL, and I've been saying 547 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: it forever, is just how important games are. Uh, people 548 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: always push back when I'm like, the Games in baseball 549 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: just do not matter. They're like, yes, they do. September 550 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: twenty two. I'm like, now you play a hundred and 551 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: sixty two games. Not One individual game actually matters. Actually, 552 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: some weeks don't matter. I remember this season, like the 553 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: Yankees lost like seven straight games and like nine of ten. 554 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: It's just completely irrelevant. It just does not matter. Hell, 555 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: the dodgers might win like a hundred, hundred and fifteen games. 556 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: They can easily lose in the first round of the playoffs. 557 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: Like it just the regular season is so irrelevant in baseball. 558 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: And listen, you're talking to a millennial who still is 559 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: interested in baseball. I enjoy watching Aaron judge in basketball, 560 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: the players literally don't play like the regular season basketball, 561 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: even the NBA's admitted has never meant less. In football, 562 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: every game matters now. Ultimately, in football, individual weeks, when 563 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: you look back at the season, don't necessarily matter because, 564 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: unlike college football, you're allowed to lose games. You could 565 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: have an elite season and lose five games and go 566 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: twelve and five. So obviously some games mean a little 567 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: bit more. But every game matters, you know, because you 568 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: gotta stack wins. You only get seventeen games and plus 569 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: games really matter when you've lost a couple. And I 570 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: look at some teams here, one for with the raiders, 571 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: and I talked about it earlier this week, the difference 572 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: between day ball and Josh mcdaniels like and listen, I 573 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: was guilty. I thought Josh mcdaniels would just come to 574 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: the raiders. They'd be like a ten eleven win team, 575 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: be an easy playoff team for the next couple of years. Well, 576 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: you start owing to all of a sudden you're a 577 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: road loss away from the titans to being Oh and three. Now, 578 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: I think we all acknowledge. You Watch the titans, they 579 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: don't look good. I thought coming into the season, they 580 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: would take a step back. Their quarterbacks very average and 581 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: he does not have a J Brown, Derrick Henry, let's 582 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: face the peak days and probably over. Defensively they're pretty bad. 583 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: So the titans, like the raiders, are favored on the 584 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: road for a reason. But I've been watching the raiders 585 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: pretty closely for like a decade. They are never a 586 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 1: shoe in to just travel multiple time zones and win games, 587 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: but their urgency and there must win status in this 588 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: game is undeniable. I mean, you cannot start. If you 589 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: start Oh and three, I can't take you seriously. And 590 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: the other thing is I've been saying this for a while. 591 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: I said it earlier in the week. I from Daniels 592 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: kept saying like we gotta learn how to win, we 593 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: gotta learn how to win. No, Josh, you have to 594 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: learn how to win. I saw Max Crosby, I saw 595 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: hunter Renfro I saw Derek Carr, I saw Darren Waller 596 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: Win Games and make the playoffs. Last year I watched 597 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: Davonte Adams be the second best player on one of 598 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: the best teams in the League. For the last three years, 599 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: average third team wins a game or a season. So 600 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: it's like they know how to win. I literally saw 601 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: all those guys. You're the guy who the last time 602 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: you were a head coach, you lost. You want for 603 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think you started six no of 604 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: your career, or five and one or something, but it 605 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: turns out you were stealing science and then once you 606 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: kind of got popped, you started losing and didn't know 607 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: what and lasted another like Uh. I think he lasted 608 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: a year and a half. So you are the question 609 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: mark and the urgency in Vegas has to be high, 610 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: especially down to mark Mark Davis, a champion. Mark Davis 611 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: brought a championship W N B A to Uh to Vegas. 612 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: So props from Mark Davis. Saints at Carolina. I think 613 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: both these teams gotta feel submergency. First and foremost the saints, 614 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: like everyone's like Oh, the saints, because they can win 615 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: the division. To say it's going in the division, I'm like, bullshit, 616 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: no way. Dennis Allen. Well, as I said last week, 617 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen actually is not. Their biggest problem is Jamis Winston. Now, 618 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: in fairness to Jamis Winston, he's dealing with back issues. 619 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: Now he's got I think it was an ankle issue. 620 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: Like he's he's banged up, Jamis Winston is injured. Well, 621 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: your quarterback, who already was somewhat of a question mark 622 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: because part of the reason he had success last year, 623 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, who now is gonna be you know, he's 624 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: on Fox and gonna be a coach somewhere else here soon. 625 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: Like you got offensive question marks. I don't trust this 626 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: guy in big games. And then you got the Carolina 627 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: Panthers who, let's face it, there they got two guys 628 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: who the urgency is insanely high. First and foremost, their 629 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: head coach. Most people like, Oh, Matt rule, probably the 630 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: next coach in Nebraska. Matt rule, probably the next coach 631 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: at Auburn. Matt rule probably the next coach some college job. 632 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: I think most people around football, whether you work in 633 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: the NFL, whether you come her football hell, probably players. 634 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: You just assume Matt rule will not be in the 635 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: NFL next year because he'll be fired and he will 636 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: be coaching in college. Well, why is he gonna be fired? 637 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: Because his team consistently sucks. Now I went out of 638 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: a limb. I picked the Carolina Panthers to win the division. 639 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: Looks Pretty Bad, like an awful pick because Tampa is 640 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: gonna win the division. But I had to be a 641 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: little different. Wanted to throw a curveball and honestly, I've 642 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: watched them pretty closely through the first two games. Could 643 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: be doing all but listen. If then butts had candy 644 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: and nuts. We all know the deal. You know close 645 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: does not get you wins in the NFL, and they 646 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: lost last week to the giants, so that they I 647 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: question how good they are. The other thing is Baker Mayfield. 648 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: Like part of this is Baker Mayfield was gonna go 649 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: to Carolina and he had the opportunity to resurrect his career. 650 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: He gets traded for immediately beat Sam Donald Out even 651 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: before Sam Donald got hurt. It was like, you know, 652 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has a solid season, gets them to nine 653 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: ish wins, they compete for a wild card spot. All 654 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden Baker Mayfield's career is back on track. 655 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: So you got a coach who looks like he's gonna 656 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: get fired if he loses this game. Not He might 657 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: get fired after this game, though not that far away. 658 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: Like how many games can he lose to start the 659 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: season for him to keep his owing? Four is he 660 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: getting fired? Oh in five. Is he getting fired? I 661 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: remember seeing an Owen four coach, Dennis Allen, years ago, 662 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: get fired with the raiders. So when you're already on 663 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: the hot seat and you already have pressure and then 664 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: you make a trade like this and it's not going well, 665 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: like you go oh and three is owen four. Is 666 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: Bat rule getting fired? Now? Baker Mayfield isn't necessarily going 667 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: anywhere this year, but like his career, I think we 668 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: have to start questions. Baker Mayfield is going to turn 669 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: into a really good backup or quarterback position, you know, 670 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: twenty five through thirty two. So shitty. He'll just start somewhere? 671 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's it's not going well, especially 672 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: if they lose this game and then, last but not least, 673 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: case at Indie. Uh case is one of the I mean, 674 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: let's face it, they are. They've turned into one of 675 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: the most consistent operations in the NFL. I was texting 676 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: and I've actually never met the guy in person, but 677 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: we played golf of the same spot in California, Daniel 678 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: del Scalso. He played at UC Davis, played for the 679 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: St Louis Cardinals for a long time. UH, playing the 680 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: big leagues for like almost a decade. He went to 681 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: UC Davis Guy, Barry Guy, and I was watching the 682 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: padre cardinal game and I just texted him like how 683 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: are the cardinals always so good, and he's like it 684 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: just starts with the organization, what they teach in the 685 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: minor leagues, the detail, the execution, the importance of winning. UH, 686 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: their leadership of guys like waynewright and Yadi Molina. They're 687 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: always aggressive. Now they have Goldsmith and Erroonnado. They're just 688 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: a high level organization and because people always like, well, 689 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: whence the last time they won a world series? I 690 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: don't know that they win every fucking year. Like when's 691 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: the chiefs? The chiefs have literally won one super bowl 692 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: in fifty years, right, but since Andy Reid has got 693 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 1: their their standard is insanely high. They just consistently win 694 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: games and once they got Patrick Mahone, they consistently kick 695 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: ass and take names. They've won the division six straight 696 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: years for a reason and, let's face it, they are 697 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: the pick right now to win the division again and 698 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how you would pick any of the 699 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: other three teams, even though it's clear the chief's offense 700 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: probably not as potent, but their defense a lot better 701 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: and they've got the best coach of the division by 702 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: a wide margin. But Indianapolis, I've said over and over, 703 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you're a good guy, people naturally 704 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: root for you, as we should. We should root for 705 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: good people, but the simple reality in the business world 706 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: is like being a good guy, being a bad guy 707 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily determine success. A lot of bad people have 708 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: been very successful in every industry, right, and a lot 709 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: of good people suck at their job. And the thing 710 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 1: with football ultimately you're judged on wins and losses. Some 711 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: people are better than other people. Some people, like everyone 712 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: that's ever met a Andy Reid, they go great guy, 713 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 1: doesn't get any better. I can attest high level human 714 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: treats people really well. There have been a lot of 715 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: coaches over the years who I think would qualify it 716 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: or yea, not the greatest guy who won super bulls, 717 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,959 Speaker 1: who are successful right. And it's no different in any 718 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: industry of anyone that's listening, whether you're in medical field, 719 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: whether you're in card you owned car dealerships, whatever, it 720 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: does not matter. And Frank I think listen, I don't 721 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: follow the colts that closely, but fall football for a living. 722 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 1: Obviously he's a good guy, a good person, but we're 723 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: not sure he's a good coach and we're starting to 724 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: get more and more evidence that he might be over 725 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: his head, and some of it might be they can't 726 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: find a quarterback whatever. They keep trading for the quarterbacks 727 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: he wants. I want rivers, I want wins. Let's go 728 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 1: get Matt Ryan. And it doesn't work and to me 729 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: like they're huge underdogs this week at home. You know, 730 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: I think numbers been between six and seven all week 731 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: playing the chiefs, as they should be, because the chiefs 732 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: one of the highest level organism actions in the league. 733 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: The colts kind of get they feel like they get 734 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: annointed like that, yet they don't ever make the playoffs. 735 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: So to me, if Frank Reich loses this game and, 736 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: let's say, gets his ass kicked at home, are we 737 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: sure frank has a job Monday at lunch, because I 738 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be their owners unpredictable. Um, I just think that 739 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: this these teams, the colts, the panthers and the Vegas Raiders. 740 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, no one's gonna get fired with the raiders, 741 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: but I think we would start going does Josh know 742 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: what he's doing, and especially do a Tennessee team that's 743 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: not very good? Carolina and indy, I mean are their 744 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 1: coaches both coaches? It's not how the realm possibility could 745 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: be fired on Monday. Uh. Last but not least, before 746 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: we get into Stucky, the packer Tampa game this week. 747 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: Tampa has had an impressive start. Right, everything that happened 748 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: with Brady. I've said over and over I don't care 749 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: who you are, how much you can compartmentalize, how much 750 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: you can focus, you start having issue us with a 751 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: significant other, it's a drain. Right, listen, I've had to 752 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: me significant others and and uh, parents stuff. It's it 753 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: takes a lot out of you. When people get sick, 754 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: people get divorces. We we've all, once you get to 755 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: a certain age, we've all experienced it. We all can 756 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: relate to losing a parent, knowing someone that got divorced, 757 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: having someone go to the hospital. It's a lot. I 758 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: don't care how mentally tough you are, how much you 759 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: can push your emotions to the side. It's hard. And 760 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: when Tom Brady, when he was going through with Jaselle, 761 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, this guy his resume speaks for itself, 762 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: but this is a lot and somehow he's able to 763 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 1: overcome it. He is just a fucking robot. and Tampa's 764 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: really their offense has been hit or miss, partly because 765 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: their offensive line is a major question mark, but their 766 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: defense is awesome, like you don't need to be Sean 767 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: Payton on a Fox studio breaking down the Games to 768 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: realize it is hard are to move the ball against 769 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: Tampa that their front is awesome. Devin white is all 770 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: over their field. Their dbs make plays left and right. 771 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: Todd bowls is one of the best coordinators in the League. 772 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: It's been one of the best units now for two 773 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: or three years running, since Brady got there. They are 774 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: they're a machine, they're physical, they're fast, they can rush 775 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: the pastor they can cover that. They can do it 776 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: all well. Part of the reason that Green Bay, they 777 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: didn't want to trade Davante. Davonte wanted out and they 778 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: transitioned and when they transitioned away from him and they 779 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,439 Speaker 1: traded them, they wanted to become a more physical team, 780 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: as we've talked about. That translates more to the playoffs 781 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: and to be able to hang with the big dogs 782 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: right and even though they are a big dog, but 783 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: when they've been in these big games, playoff wise, Tampa 784 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, the forty niners last year, 785 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: they just don't win them. So they've kind of built 786 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: their team in theory a little bit like them. Well, 787 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: now we get to see it because, you would say, 788 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: I'll give them a little past week one. Last week 789 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: they or last year they mailed in. Week one didn't 790 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: phase him. Rogers won the MVP. They were the one 791 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: seed this year. That was like Minnesota Super Bowl. I 792 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: mean they Minnesota played a perfect game. Kick their ass. 793 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: It happened. Well, last week, playing the bears, who aren't 794 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: any good, the packers just, you know, got the train 795 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: back on the tracks. Well, this week you're playing Tampa, 796 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: who opens up Sunday night football against the cowboys. And 797 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: then last week had, you know, a massive game. They 798 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: played a team on the road that's basically their rival, 799 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: now their divisional rival. It's become a war zone on 800 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: the on the turf, and they won. So they're two 801 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: and all off. Pretty two emotional games. Week one proven that, 802 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: like Brady's okay, we'll be okay. We kicked the cowboys. 803 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: Ask then last week we play a heavyweight fight against 804 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: our division rivals. I wouldn't say there's a letdown game 805 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: because this is the home opener, but let's face it, 806 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: the pirate ship in Tampa isn't exactly you know, L 807 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: S U at night, you know, isn't exactly the Big 808 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: House against Ohio State. It's it's a pretty shitty home 809 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: field advantage and this is a game that I'm fascinated 810 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: to watch. The packers. I think they can win, but 811 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: the way they're built actually plays into Tampa's hand. Now 812 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a low scoring game because Green Bay, 813 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: in theory, should be able to hold and corral Tampa's offense. 814 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: But is Aaron Rodgers. Now there are a ton of injuries. 815 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: As of recording this all the wide receivers on both 816 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: teams have been banged up. Obviously Mike Evans is suspended. 817 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: I just this is one of the best games of 818 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: the weekend. Uh Fox prime time. Burkhardt Olsen used to 819 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,959 Speaker 1: say Buck Aikman, but to me this is Green Bay 820 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: has morphed a little bit into what Tampa is, the physical, 821 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: defensive team that has no problem playing a lower scoring game. 822 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: In theory, we're gonna see now if it works. I 823 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: kind of like Green Bay in this spot, but from 824 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: a gambling standpoint I wouldn't put any money on them. 825 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: The spread right now, I think, is green. As of 826 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: recording this minus minus one, or maybe plus one. Excuse me. 827 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: So usually you just get two big time teams. Usually 828 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: just natural minus three, uh for Tampa. But all the injuries, 829 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: you're missing, all these wide receivers. Can Green Bay get 830 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: after Brady? Um, time will tell. And the one thing 831 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: you know, even when you can get after Brady, they 832 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: will just run quick place and that that's where Tom 833 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: so special. But I mean Rogers will do the same thing. 834 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,919 Speaker 1: I uh, I'm pretty excited for packers at Tampa Bay. 835 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: Back at it with my man and he's he's red hot. 836 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 1: He's five and one on the season. Um stucky. You 837 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 1: can find him on the Action Network, Action Network podcast. Um, 838 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 1: you can find them all over the place on twitter. 839 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: He's a gambling fanatic. You can also find him talking 840 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: big bets on campus. He lives in Lexic Kentucky, just 841 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: a football power now used to be known as a 842 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: basketball area, but I might say Mark Stoop's past Calipari. Uh, 843 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: he's got a big bar downtown. So you can uh, 844 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say drinks around him and they'll 845 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: charge it. But if you're having a good time you 846 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,800 Speaker 1: never know. Stuck you. What's happening? What's going on? Brother?

Um, what's the bar? If 849 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: anyone's ever in Lixton? Two of them my wife Friend's, UH, 850 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: part of our stagger in, and two keys, which just 851 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 1: opened again. It was two keys tavern was a staple 852 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: here for like fifty five years and unfortunately had to 853 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: close during the pandemic, but it's recently just reopened. That's more. 854 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: That's that's like a pure college bar, but it's massive. 855 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: There's outdoor dance, there's then there's a huge sports portion 856 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: and then stagger down town is more of an upper twenties, thirties. Well, 857 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties. Sports Bar Saturday nights, you know, 858 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: like live country band, stuff like that. So if you're 859 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: ever in town, hit me up on twitter. We kind 860 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: of specials you guys got going on this weekend.

But Um, 868 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I have no idea what the 869 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: special but there's usually specialist stagger and the college bars. Yeah, 870 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: that they have like the fish bowls too and all 871 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. So Um, yeah, come check it out, but 872 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: excited to. I'll be there down there Sunday too for 873 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: NFL and I'm gonna talk a lot about weeks. We're 874 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: talking about a lot about week three today and you know, 875 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: overreactions and reactions in a week week market. I'm like 876 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: nine and one this year in the NFL. So I'm 877 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 1: gonna talk about how some teams are gonna regress. So 878 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's time to fabing, but we'll say hopefully we 879 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 1: can keep it going. Okay, let's uh, let's dive right 880 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 1: into your you're five and one on this show. I 881 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: actually watched because I look up last week on Sunday 882 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: rams are kicking their ass. You had the foul constent 883 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: and a half coming into the season. I thought the 884 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: Falcon Suck Brew on that game. Second half yesterday they're 885 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: blocking ponts. Mariota looks pretty capable. Jerke London is making 886 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: some plays. Obviously Kyle Pitts. I'm actually not, I wouldn't 887 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: say bullish on Atlanta, but they might be better than 888 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: I thought. Um, playing Seattle, which I think it's fair 889 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: to say they treated week one like the Super Bowl. 890 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: That might be the peak of their season. UH, Atlanta 891 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,720 Speaker 1: at Seattle. that the Seattle crowd what they gave Russell Wilson. 892 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if we ever see that again this season. Um, 893 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: safe to say that you like Atlanta this week at Seattle? Yeah, 894 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: I do. Um, I think this Atlanta team is gonna 895 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: be Feisty against the spread all year. Obviously got really 896 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: lucky last week with that fact epic factor cover against 897 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: the rams. But you know, Mary, I think I like 898 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: about Mariottie. Brings you some mobility. You know the best 899 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: offensive line and you know you have some talented pieces. Patterson, 900 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: pits and I really like drake London. So this offense 901 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: is not completely inapt, the defense isn't eight, but you 902 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 1: do have good corners and you have, you know, you 903 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: have one of the best corners in the NFL. So 904 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: that's like a good foundation to start with. It's also 905 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: important against the seahawks. I've been able to run the 906 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: ball at all. You have corners that can cover their 907 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: receivers and you have a defense coordinator in danps who 908 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: historically in you know, very complex defense, a lot of 909 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,720 Speaker 1: disguised looks and change. Historically, his seems have really really 910 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: struggled in year one and just trying to pick up 911 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: what he's trying to do and then there's a massive 912 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: improvement year two. So you could see that defense, despite 913 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: a lack of talent, especially on the front seven, take 914 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: a big step forward. Here. You have good corners, you 915 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: can go a long way and this Seattle team, it's 916 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: just void of talent. I mean, outside of the Texans, 917 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,280 Speaker 1: probably it's the worst team in the NFL in my opinion. 918 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: I mean they're starting a backup quarterback and a lot 919 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 1: of people have that broncos game in their mind. The 920 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 1: broncos games four hundred and forty yards. The seahawks had 921 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty and one that game because the 922 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,280 Speaker 1: Brown because I could not figure out how to score 923 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,439 Speaker 1: from the one yard line. Over still still still can't stuck. 924 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen the still can't Um. 925 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: So they were just going up and down the field 926 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: and UM, they were there dominated that game. And then 927 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: you see Seattle last week and against San Francisco and yeah, 928 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean they could take a dunk and that's about 929 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: all they could do. They couldn't run the ball, couldn't 930 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: get any stopped this. This defense is bad, the offensive 931 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: line is bad. You had a couple of good receivers, 932 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 1: but Atlanta actually matches up well in that department. So yeah, 933 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 1: I think the Falcons get it done here pick up 934 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: their first win of the season on the road. Okay, 935 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: let's GO MINNESOTA HOSTING DETROIT. Obviously I think we we've 936 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: learned a lesson that we knew, but it just got 937 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 1: hammered home. You know, cousins primetime game. B leary be worried, 938 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: but the guy thrives, and I mean thrives, at for 939 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: us West coasters, ten am and you know, you look up, 940 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: he's got three or four touchdowns. One of the top 941 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: fantasy points. His team's crushing. Now, I know you like 942 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,359 Speaker 1: the Falcons. I I've looked at UH, Detroit a lot 943 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 1: like you look at Atlanta. I think they're a feisty team. 944 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: You give me anything over a field goal against a 945 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: team that I don't view as like a power Um. 946 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take them just because, one they 947 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 1: don't quit, so they can have some of the backdoor 948 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 1: cover style, Atlanta style. And I just I said coming in, 949 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: you knows Minnesota probably gonna be a wild cord team. Yeah, 950 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: but I think they got some flaws. Their secondary is 951 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 1: very questionable. uh, but cousins in the morning he's usually 952 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: much better. But I like this Detroit team. I mean 953 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: they can score. Uh, they just feel a lot better. 954 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: I like Detroit in the points here. Yeah, I mean 955 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: I can see how someone can make a case for 956 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 1: Detroit here, but I actually I think we're getting Minnesota 957 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 1: cheap after what we saw on Monday night at home. 958 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: Still One of the best home field advantages in the NFL. 959 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: And you know, you mentioned cousins being better in in 960 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 1: the daytime. He also his story Workley has been great, 961 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: bouncing back from a loss. He's thirty four and twenty 962 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: one against the spread in his career. That's sixty two 963 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,800 Speaker 1: percent after a straight up loss and ten against the 964 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 1: spread after he failed to cover by a touchdown or 965 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: more in the previous week. So when he really doesn't 966 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: live up the expectations the next week he does usually 967 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: bounce back. Also, this is a really good matchup for 968 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: the Vikings offense. It's you know, and the Eagles did 969 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,320 Speaker 1: run some man on third a lot of man on 970 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: third down last week, but last week. But the eagles 971 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: run predominantly zoned and if you look at Kirk cousins numbers, 972 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: historically he shreds man, shreds man and really struggles against 973 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 1: own defenses. This lions team has generally over the past 974 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 1: year plus been a man press team. They just don't 975 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: have the corner. I mean the defense is really bad. 976 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: They have a couple of young, intriguing pieces with Hutchetson 977 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: and Malcolm Driguez, a linebacker, might have been the steel 978 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,919 Speaker 1: of the draft, but the secondary is still a mess. 979 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 1: They shouldn't be able to cover anyone on this minister 980 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: OUTA team. And when I look, when I look back at, 981 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, last year Minnesota was favored by ten at 982 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 1: home against the Lions. Now the lines are better, I agree, 983 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 1: and all they do is cover and then this team 984 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 1: just gets in every back to a possible when needed. 985 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: That I think Campbell's now thirteen and six against the spread. 986 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: But the Vikings remind US ten last year without Dalvin Cook. 987 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 1: Dalvin cook was out for didn't play because he was hurt. 988 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,359 Speaker 1: Now the lions are better, but I think so are 989 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 1: the Vikings from a coaching standpoint. They also had a 990 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,839 Speaker 1: lot of injuries on defense last year. But I love 991 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,359 Speaker 1: the hire of O'CONNELL. I think they'll run a lot 992 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 1: more efficient offense. He'll make a lot more you know, 993 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: plus ev decisions as far as like when to kick, 994 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 1: when to go for things like that. So I love 995 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: the higher of him. I think it's a good matchup 996 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: for the Minnesota offense and I think we're getting them 997 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 1: cheap here. Um At six. I think you can find 998 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,479 Speaker 1: a five and a half. But the lions are look, 999 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 1: I was on the lines last week. I'M gonna PROBABLY 1000 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: gonna be on a bunch. So I agree with you 1001 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: for the most part and don't fault you for being 1002 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,359 Speaker 1: on them here, even if the Vikings ropped ten late. 1003 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure the line's gonna get on the field and 1004 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 1: lose by three. So I'll be scared there. But I 1005 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 1: think it's just a good time to buy Minnesota. I 1006 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 1: think we got agreement on this. Next game, it's fair 1007 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: to say Tennessee. You know, I don't blame them necessarily 1008 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 1: for trading a J Brown. They're in a tough spot. 1009 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: Their quarterback. They were stuck money wise. Uh. Now, do 1010 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 1: I ever like trading star players? No, but clearly they 1011 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 1: thought they knew him better than anyone else and it's 1012 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: kind of backfire through two games and he's clearly a 1013 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: dominant player and they miss him and they look a 1014 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 1: shell of themselves. Uh. The raiders, while Oh and to 1015 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: like the titans, if you've watched them, they clearly are 1016 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,759 Speaker 1: not bad right. I mean they have a lot of 1017 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,360 Speaker 1: players on a lot of different positions, they have a 1018 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: star wide receiver. The quarterback solid, even though he funked 1019 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 1: up in the in the first game throwing those picks 1020 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 1: in the second half. But they do not look like 1021 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: a five or six win team. But the one thing 1022 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: that makes me nervous about the raiders is just Josh mcdaniels. 1023 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 1: You know, I saw Derek Carr and crosby and Renfro like. 1024 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,840 Speaker 1: I know those guys can win. We obviously know Davante 1025 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: Adams can win. The question mark is the head coach. Yeah, 1026 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: it's just it's just a fact, even though we all 1027 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 1: think like Oh, it should be an easier transition. He's 1028 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: done it before. Whole battle back last week was an 1029 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,479 Speaker 1: embarrassment for them. Now some of that's Kyler Murray pulling 1030 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: you know what out of his butt run around, but still. 1031 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,800 Speaker 1: I'm with you here, though. I would take the raiders 1032 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: and the points to one thing that would make me 1033 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,240 Speaker 1: a little nervous, though, is historically, you know, the raiders 1034 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 1: traveling for these early morning games can be a little 1035 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,320 Speaker 1: hit or miss in car's career. But they're at the 1036 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: point now for a team that if they're gonna want 1037 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs in the a F C, like 1038 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: you ainking a battle back, oh, and three or one 1039 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: in five like this, is must win territory immediately. Yeah, 1040 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: this is they have. They have to have this game. 1041 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: And you know, if you're in like the maybe, if 1042 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 1: you're in the A F C south, you can still 1043 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,359 Speaker 1: win the division. What would you get? What would you guess? Wins. 1044 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: The A F C south? Seven wins? Maybe? Yeah, seven, 1045 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 1: or anyone, I think the jags. Why you actually do it? Um? 1046 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:09,320 Speaker 1: This titans team is, you know, it's it's bad. And 1047 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 1: look they they've had. They were pretty fortunate last year 1048 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 1: to get the one seed. They're winning a ton of 1049 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 1: close games and but if you look at the Rouster, 1050 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:18,839 Speaker 1: losing a J Brown is huge. Now you lose your 1051 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: left tackle, who's presumably out in Taylor Lawan, his backup 1052 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 1: last week gave up nine pressures. Gave up more pressures 1053 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,839 Speaker 1: in relief than Lawan had in the nine previous games. 1054 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: So what else did then? You were relying on rookie receivers. 1055 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 1: Your left tackles hurt. You lost your top edge rusher 1056 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 1: before before the season started. Your cornerback group is very 1057 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: rookie reliant. These are all the most important positions. And 1058 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: the other thought. So what do you have? You have 1059 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: Derrick Hennery, who who looks like a shell of himself. 1060 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: A Lot, a lot of miles on that car and 1061 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 1: the offensive line is all young and now you've lost 1062 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: your best offensive lineman. Raiders run defense has been good 1063 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 1: this week and the thing you fear about the raiders 1064 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 1: is okay their second their corners can be exploited a 1065 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 1: little bit, but Tennessee is not going to do that. 1066 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: And the raiders strength is their edge rush. Now you're 1067 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,160 Speaker 1: going up against backup tackle and you might be moving 1068 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: on a rookie guard over the tack like it's they're 1069 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: gonna be able to get after the quarterback. Here Henry, 1070 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like he's capable of just winning this 1071 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: game on his own anymore. And on the other side, 1072 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,800 Speaker 1: car should get enough time. This Tennessee defense, especially without Landrys, 1073 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 1: are gonna get a ton of pressure. And the weak 1074 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 1: point of the raiders probably team is their offensive line. 1075 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that as much against Tennessee. 1076 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: And then they're gonna have enormous uh that plus matchups 1077 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 1: on the outside. I mean you saw what digs did 1078 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: lab last we had undrafted rookie trainory trying to cover them. 1079 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,400 Speaker 1: So their secondary is also a mess. So yeah, I 1080 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,359 Speaker 1: mean you look at Tennessee, they have not looked good 1081 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 1: in any phase. I was longing them coming into the year. 1082 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 1: The raiders could have easily beat the chargers on the 1083 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 1: road in week one. They actually had more yards for 1084 00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: play the game was basically a coin flip, and then 1085 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: they took their foot off the gas against Arizona. Twenty 1086 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: to nothing at the half, or thirty eight, no, and 1087 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: franchise history when leading by twenty plus at a half. 1088 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 1: And then it took a bunch of flukes at the end. 1089 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 1: Right you have the two point a version, the review, 1090 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 1: the fumble return for a touchdown. They could easily be 1091 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: too enough and then we'll be having a whole different 1092 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: conversation about the raiders here. There's no other conversation to 1093 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,439 Speaker 1: have about the titans right now, in my opinion, other 1094 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 1: than what you know. When are we going to see 1095 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: malique wills, if ever, because I think it's it's just 1096 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: all downhill for the titans. So yeah, it's a it's 1097 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 1: a spot where it's like two desper teams, neither US covered, 1098 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: yet they're both owing too. But I trust the raiders 1099 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 1: a lot more and I think to have major Um 1100 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: matchup advantages on both sides of the ball. How about 1101 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 1: the fade of September, which I think is already kind 1102 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,879 Speaker 1: of sticking out like a sore thumb this week? Huh? Yeah, 1103 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 1: it's it's got to be the cults here. They are. 1104 00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: And if you look at any really any trend over 1105 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: the past thirty years in the NFL, if you just 1106 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 1: just without doing anything else, blindly bet the teams that 1107 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 1: are all into Um that we're winless, I should say 1108 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: because the colts the time winless and haven't covered a 1109 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: game yet. In Week three, as an underdog, you're gonna 1110 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 1: come out way on top. And underdogs after a shutout. 1111 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 1: By the way, in the NFL just keep that whenever 1112 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 1: underdog team gets shut out in the NFL and they're 1113 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,919 Speaker 1: underdog the next week. Over the past twenty five years, 1114 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,280 Speaker 1: a team's off a shutout loss as three plus point 1115 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: underdogs in a non division game. Fifty one, thirteen and 1116 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 1: three since nine just speaks to the the week, the week. Oh, 1117 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 1: this team got shut out by the jags. They stink, 1118 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 1: they look the colts have not looked good. Is that again? 1119 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,959 Speaker 1: Is that against the spread or straight up again? And three, 1120 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 1: look the colts. They haven't looked great, but this look 1121 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,800 Speaker 1: a head line is two and a half. Three and 1122 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: now they got up to seven at one point and 1123 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: get six out there now, but they could have been 1124 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,439 Speaker 1: playing with their full deck of receivers. They should get back. 1125 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,840 Speaker 1: I haven't been playing with the leader of their defense, 1126 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,600 Speaker 1: who they should get back here, and teams are just 1127 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 1: never as bad as they look in the NFL. You 1128 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 1: just have to keep that in mind. Home like they're 1129 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:16,920 Speaker 1: coming home home opener, desperate team playing a chiefs team that, 1130 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: by the way, has not been great at covering these spreads. 1131 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes ten, I think it's it's ten, fourteen and one 1132 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 1: to get the spread as a touchdown. We're six plus 1133 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 1: point favorite in his career and this chief's defense is 1134 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 1: still extremely vulnerable. I think Taylor can get going here. 1135 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: The cults will be able to sustain drives, control the clock, 1136 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 1: move the ball at will on the ground, they'll have 1137 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 1: some of the receivers back, and this chief's offense those 1138 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 1: questions without Tyreek Hill like like. The perception of the chiefs, 1139 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 1: I think, is way too high right now. They went 1140 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: in week one and beat an Arizona team playing with 1141 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 1: their scout team. They had I don't know, eight starters out. 1142 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 1: It was not it was an exhibition game. The next 1143 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: week the chargers dropped two picks, wide open picks. They 1144 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,720 Speaker 1: have two others that get overturned on BS flags and 1145 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 1: the chief's offense and not look great the charters. Easily, 1146 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 1: easily I could have, I think should have won that game. 1147 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 1: So it's not like the chiefs have been some juggernauts 1148 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: so far. Now going on the road and this line 1149 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 1: goes up four to five points from the look aheadline. 1150 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 1: I think this is a prime spot to get the 1151 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 1: colts Um and uh yeah, it's just this these week, 1152 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: three winless teams as home dogs. Just keep that in 1153 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: mind in the future doesn't mean they'll cover. Like a 1154 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 1: lot of times. Gonna give out these sets. It's like 1155 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: sixty historically, so of course there's gonna be some that losing. 1156 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: Then sometimes there's just teams that are way worse than 1157 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 1: anyone anticipated and the market still doesn't call. which it 1158 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 1: could be the cults, but I'm willing to take a 1159 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,480 Speaker 1: stab here, um on the colts in this spot, on 1160 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 1: Frank Bright, who is nine three and one against the 1161 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 1: spread as an underdog of over a field goal in 1162 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 1: his career, who well stud he enjoy your Tito's red 1163 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 1: bull this weekend and uh, we will talk soon.
