14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to skip it. Touched on it briefly.

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: We gotta great podcast today. Michael Lombardi, former front office

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: guy from the Patriots and a slew of other teams.

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: He is on the podcast Talk Conference Championship Weekend. A

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: couple of very interesting coaching moves in the NFL. On Thursday,

19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed to report my Jets have hired Nathaniel Hackett.

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys, I can't get too worked up. I

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: spent most of Thursday in a fog kind of piste

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: about the Jets hiring, without a doubt, the worst coach

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL last season. Hackett from the jump was clueless.

24
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: He needs to hire a clock management specialists. And I

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: know you guys are already yelling, but j J J.

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: He was head coach. He had to wear so many hats,

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: He's got to do so many things. Maybe he's a

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: better lieutenant. Oh really, is he really a better lieutenant?

29
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: So they get that good run with the Jags. Do

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: you guys know what happened to in the next season

31
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville? Oh? Go go look and I'll just talk. Oh,

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and work so great with Hackett. Remember how

33
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: bad the first year was so bad that the Packers

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: went the following season and drafted Jordan's Love in the

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: first round. That's how bad Hackett and Rogers were the

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: first year. So were they great together after that? Or

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: was Aaron Rodgers just incredibly motivated to shove the Jordan's

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: Love pick up The Green Bay Packers franchise rear End,

39
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: which is what I think it was. And of course

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: Rogers wins two MVP awards. Um And if you want

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: to look further, you can look at Tom Brady in

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: New England. Go look up Jimmy Garoppolo. I remember being

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: at the Combine the year Garoppolo ended up getting drafted.

44
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: There was some buzz about him a little bit. I

45
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: wrote about it for The Big Lead. You could google

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: it was what February two and the Patriots draft Garoppolo.

47
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Brady's ticked. The next year he threw a career I

48
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: think it was a career high touchdown passes, and then

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: two years later he won the m v p ord

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: to basically said get Garoppolo out of here. So there

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: is the motivation factor personally. Listen, if I were Robert

52
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Sala and I know my job is on the line,

53
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: and it is. And if I'm Joe Douglas and I

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: know my job is on the line and it is,

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: I can't figure out quarterback. You're not really gonna get anywhere.

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking, Okay, let's bring in Nathaniel Hackett. That's

57
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna save my bacon. Now if you

58
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: think okay, he can bring Aaron Rodgers. That's fine. I

59
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: personally do not think that band aid on the gaping wound.

60
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: That is the Jets quarterback position for the last I

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: don't know, forty years, fifty years. Seriously, that's not gonna work.

62
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: It's not. It's just not a sustainable plan. It's not.

63
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Rogers is third. I think he's thirty nine. What's he

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna what? What? What are you get getting from this guy? Oh,

65
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Brady's good at forty five? J okay, fine. You think

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna be Brady? You think he is locked in

67
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady was. Brady's going to bed early, he's

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: eating right, he's working out, he's got TV twelve, Aaron

69
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers doing ayahuasca and hanging out with Joe Rogan. That's

70
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: a sustainable plant. That's the guy you want in New York,

71
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: the pressure cookers. That is New York. You think Nathaniel

72
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Hackett is gonna do well against the New York media

73
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: when things go awry, because they will. I just I'm pissed. Yeah,

74
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: at any rate. Frank Reich to Carolina, I don't hate

75
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: that move. I mean Carolina could win the division if

76
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: they figure out quarterback. We'll talk about that one with

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: um Michael Lombardi. Here shortly, real quick, we'll do picks

78
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: for the NFL Conference Championship. A couple of props at

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: the end of the podcast. I do want to send

80
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: a melancholy note two Billy Packer, the former college basketball

81
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: announcer who passed away on Thursday at the age of

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: eighty two. Packer was he was a real one. He

83
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: was going to tell you what he thought, and he

84
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: didn't give a crap what you thought he thought, and

85
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: he was going to go about his day. Old school dude.

86
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough after the Big League was sold,

87
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: I was at a dinner with some of the guys

88
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: who had bought the site, and they brought Billy Packard

89
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: to this dinner, and I was so lucky that he

90
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: sat like across from me at this dinner. And of course,

91
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: you guys know, I mean, listen, I've got opinions on everything.

92
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: I'm normally I would be firing on all cylinders. But

93
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: it's Billy Packer. It's the guy who called the Kansas

94
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: U n C game. This game is over thirteen minutes

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: out of the game after a Rush three pointer. I

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: remember that game. I remember that Packer Packer called the

97
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: Final Four for like thirty years. I mean, the guy

98
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: is legendary now. I know he ticked off a lot

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: of people. And at this dinner, Packers just like he's

100
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: an oracle. Everybody's just sitting around listening. I think at

101
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: one point we were talking about Georgetown and I think

102
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: he had got into it with the late John Thompson

103
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: and we were talking about Georgetown back courts, and of course,

104
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I was a college hoops nerd. Georgetown

105
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: was the first sports team I ever really really liked.

106
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean I was a tyke. But my buddy who

107
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: listens to this pod sometimes, um him and his family.

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I think his family his dad had went to Seaton

109
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Hall maybe, and they were playing Georgetown, and of course

110
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: Georgetown had Patrick Ewing and so they became big, you know,

111
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: Hoya's fans. Hoya's were local, and we would just try

112
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: to watch Georgetown games that I remember they had I

113
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: think a party on the National Championship night. It's something

114
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: along those lines. But bottom line is I got to

115
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: be a Georgetown fans just because everybody else liked him,

116
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: even though I didn't really know what was going on,

117
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: and I got into Georgetown, and then you know, Georgetown

118
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: ends up being really good every year, and I would

119
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: start checking out some of their you know, you would

120
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: read about their guys in the newspaper. A lot of

121
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: the Georgetown guys where came from local high schools in

122
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the d C. Area, and then you start understanding those.

123
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: And then Georgetown play Syracuse and Sherman Douglas and I

124
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: was just such a big East Hank and you know,

125
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Packer's calling all these games, and I just he was awesome.

126
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Packer and Nance tossed in a little Al McGuire dick

127
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Enberg like that was the Honestly, eighties college hoops was incredible,

128
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: and I really don't remember that much of it. Nineties

129
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: college basketball was awesome and probably the last great decade

130
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: of college hoops. The early two thousands were very good.

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: It's just not the same any I mean, Christian Latner arguably,

132
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: you know, top ten greatest basketball player ever in college

133
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: hoops because of what he won State. Guy like that,

134
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: now he's out in one year. I mean, it's so

135
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 1: tough to get like arms around a team and really

136
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: start to root for anyone because nobody sticks around. Everybody's

137
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: one and done too and done so Packers from a

138
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: different era. It was a great time and um, you know,

139
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: rest in peace to the great announcer Billy Packer. All Right,

140
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: without further ado, let's get to our guest, Visan's Michael Lombardi.

141
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Jason likes to think he knows everything when it comes

142
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: to sports. I know what sports stands want, but for

143
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: everything he doesn't. He knows a guy who does. Let's

144
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: just say I know a guy who knows a guy

145
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: he knows another guy. All right, let's welcome into straight fire.

146
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: A guy used. You know him well, he's been on

147
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the pod before. He is Michael Lombardi, host of the

00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: some fun on the air for for a minute. They're

154
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: working with some I don't want to call them crazy people,

155
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, cowherds normal but not everyone else's. Uh. You

156
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: always had some fun. Need lines listen. Conference Championship weekend

157
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Two games, both under a field goal.

158
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, and Mike, I don't. I don't

159
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: have a strong lean on either game. I did like

160
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: an idiot at the Bengals as soon as the line

161
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: came out at pick him when we didn't know about Mahomes.

162
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: But have you seen this Mahomes video? He's moving like normal.

163
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: What's going on? Well, you know? And he said he

164
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: got hurt in nineteen in the first game of the

165
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: year against Jacksonville. In the next game against the Raiders,

166
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: she rose for four four touchdowns. So and they said

167
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: that ankle was worse than this one. I don't know.

168
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: I wrote a column on for Visa this week and

169
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: I basically said, you know, don't assume anything. Don't assume

170
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: he's hurt, don't assume he'sselfing. What I do know is

171
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: watching the games, the three games that we have as

172
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: a sample size to study, I think if you go

173
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: back to the suit the conference championship game, I think,

174
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: if you really watched that game closely, I think there's

175
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: a play in the fourth courter that that he gets

176
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: hit Mahomes by b J. Hill. When he gets hit

177
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: by Hendrickson, I said this on my today and he

178
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: after that hit, He's five for nine for thirty eight yards,

179
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: throws an interception, get sacked three times. He's the worst

180
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: quarter of football I've ever seen play, including the three

181
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: passes in overtime. I think he got concussed. Now, I've

182
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: only bring that up. Now he doesn't say he was,

183
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: And nobody's saying that, And I'm not accusing anybody wrong

184
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: doing the saying wasn't Patrick Mahomes and night And so

185
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: when you're handicapped in the last three games, you've got

186
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to almost say something was wrong in that game. And

187
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: then when you look at the games, you say that Jack,

188
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that that Cincinnati has done a good job of possessive football,

189
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: limiting the amount of possessions in the game, that that

190
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs get. They haven't really done a great

191
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: job of stopping the Chiefs. They just slowed the game

192
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: down and they've won the fourth quarter they game they want.

193
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: They got outscored by a point, the other two games

194
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: they got outscored by seventeen sevent three. They went fourth.

195
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: So to me, this is and he's healthy. I think

196
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: you'll see the best version of the chief offense that

197
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: you can get because I dismissed the fourth quarter of

198
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: glass game. Interesting championship game. Championship game. So I know

199
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: you're in the game planning and all that stuff, and

200
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: you've worked with some of the greatest coaches ever, including Belichick,

201
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: But in that second half we saw a lot of

202
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: rush three, drop eight. I'm talking about the conference championship game. Yeah,

203
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I just wonder if you're strategizing for Cincinnati and you

204
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: know you've got Mahomes coming off whatever the injury is,

205
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: and we still haven't seen him plant and throw in practice,

206
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: it's just handoffs and walking around and stretching. Do you

207
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: think they come after him early with some of those

208
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Hilton uh secondary blitz is No. I think the worst

209
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: thing you can do with my call, well did his

210
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: own blitzer and then Kelsey's running free. I think if

211
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: you watched the three tapes, since he played man against him,

212
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: they had a hard time. Now, they got off the

213
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: field a couple of times playing end. But since he

214
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: plays better, since he's gonna play in a cover two shell,

215
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're they're on to run the ball.

216
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna say run the ball on us. They dare

217
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: you to run the ball and then I think they rushed.

218
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: When they rushed, they get pressured. The tackles for we'll

219
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: hear this on Sunda on Sunday. But Orlando Brown and

220
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: the other tackle they get beat quite a bit by

221
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Hendrickson and Hubbard. I mean they had a hard blocking

222
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: him when they rushed three. I mean the last play

223
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: in the conference championship game, Mahomes got sacked on second

224
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: Now it was second and five. It was second and

225
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: five from the five. They got a chance to win

226
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: the game there, he gets sacked. The next play they

227
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: rushed three, he gets sacked and full and Joe Touney

228
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: has to recover the ball. I mean they put pressure

229
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: on him every time they rush three. Those tackles have

230
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: to play for Kansas City. That's how you get away

231
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: with Russian Normally, if you rush three against Mahomes and

232
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: he has all day to throw, where he starts moving around,

233
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: he makes every throw. But I think you got to

234
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: mix it up. I don't think you could do a

235
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: steady dive in one thing against Mahomes. But I do

236
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: know this, He's gonna have to prove he can run

237
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: away from him. Because when Hubbard and Hendrickson are healthy,

238
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: he struggles to run away from him when he was healthy. Yeah,

239
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: that that's gonna be interesting. So you think lou Amaruno

240
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: sticks to kind of what got him here, um, because

241
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: we know it's worked. I mean, they've done a good job.

242
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: Like you said, they haven't stopped the Chiefs, but they've

243
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: slowed them enough to stay in the game. Yeah, I mean,

244
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: and then they played good. Look, they played good in

245
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: the red zone. Think when you look at the games, right,

246
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: so the game last the game this year that they're

247
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: they three for four in the red zone this year

248
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: one of them and they would have been four for four,

249
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: but the ball got tipped to the line, So that

250
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: that's saved him. That that was that that ball being

251
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: tipped by read or I think in the first question

252
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: that the championship game free for five, the Tyree killed

253
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: mistake where he throws into Tyree Hill at no time

254
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: left and he gets tackled. They lose three there, and

255
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: then the other time they don't score is when Mahomes

256
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: is in the fourth quarter. And then in weeks seventeen

257
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: or three for in the red zone. So what what

258
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: Louise trying to do is slow the game down, don't

259
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: the ball gets thrown over my head and make them

260
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: work it down the field. They'll get tired of running

261
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: the ball and then try to hold on the red zone.

262
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: But the game gets reduced, right. Nobody focuses on this.

263
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Most football games, there's twelve possessions. In these games, typically

264
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: there are eight eight possession games. And when you can

265
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: limit Kansas City the eight possession games, you got a

266
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: chance to keep the game twice. And so that's how

267
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: you got to play it. And that they do a

268
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: great job of controlling the clock, which leads us to

269
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: since his offense versus versus the Chiefs, if the Chiefs

270
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: played cover two and dare they're on the ball, that

271
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: will slow the game down even more. Do you trust

272
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Bagnola in a spot like this. I just know that

273
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: he loves to blitz. Uh. They were a little bit

274
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: above league average and blitzing and usually they get home

275
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: with pressure. I think they were like six in the

276
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: league in pressure rate. But when when we saw that

277
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: against the Bills in the regular season, it just didn't work.

278
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: You can't leave the casey corners on islands against Chase

279
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: and Higgins. I think they're gonna get eaten up that's

280
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: the one. That's the one thing that if you look

281
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: at the teams that give the chief the most trouble

282
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: is when they have outside receivers they can win. They

283
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: gotta block him inside. This will be a little harder

284
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: to block them than it was Buffalo. You know, people

285
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: talk about, well the field help help the Bengals, well

286
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: the fields and feel for the Bills. The Bills couldn't

287
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: walk Cincinnati, you know, I mean Cincinnati's tackle, I mean

288
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: the duffleest left tackle, Dawkins had a bad game. The

289
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: left guard had a horrible game. Saffle. So yeah, I think,

290
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: to me, I think to be where Spagnola's gotta be

291
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: patient and he's gotta bear them to run the ball

292
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: and see if they'll get tired of running it. See

293
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: if they'll get tired, because they do get tired of it,

294
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: and then he can't let the big play. His corners

295
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: don't match up against these receivers. They really don't. Yeah,

296
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: do you think they target McDuffie the rookie, because I mean,

297
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine they're gonna put McDuffie a rookie on Chase.

298
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: Chase did have like a two hundred sixty Yard game

299
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: a few games ago in this series, but it doesn't

300
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: matter who to put on. Chase Higgins is another problem.

301
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: It's like when they play the Chargers that you you

302
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: can put some Keenan Allen and Mike Williams give trouble

303
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: like crazy. The problem was when they played they didn't

304
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: have all those guys and then Tyler Boyd they don't

305
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: have a matchup for Tyler board in the spot and

306
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst, you know he's got a calf injury. Whether

307
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: he plays put their tight endsit. I mean, what what

308
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: What Steve's gotta do is win. He's gotta win with

309
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Chris Jones inside, he's gotta win with Clark, He's gotta

310
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: win with his defensive front. He's gotta rush forward. They

311
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: gotta play at a high level. And again this is

312
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: like a little silly, but what about this all this

313
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: trash talk? Do you think? Like I saw a video

314
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: right before we started recording, uh, one of the linebackers

315
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs. I think Willie Gay was saying that

316
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: what do you think of the Bengals offense? He's like,

317
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anything of it, Like they're nothing special,

318
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: but whatever, And this has been going back and forth.

319
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: They're calling arrowhead burrowhead. I don't do you make anything

320
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: of this is this guy much? But I will say

321
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: that the Bengals offense is nothing special. It's talented, it's

322
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: they don't try to complex it. That's not a complex offense.

323
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: They're not doing. They're in one formation pretty much all

324
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: the time. What people don't realize about football is there's

325
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: only two stations in football, right, there's only two formations.

326
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: You can put three receivers to one side and a

327
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: receiver to the other, or you can put two receivers

328
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: to one side and two receivers together. That's it. Now,

329
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: who those three people are and one two people are

330
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: they can be completely different. We see that with San

331
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Francisco with the Bengals. We the Bengals are in three

332
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: by one, two by two and it's gonna be three

333
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: reivers in a tight end and one back. They they're

334
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: never really in they're rarely in two tight end. They're

335
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: rail in the back. They never put it back. So

336
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: you know what they're going to be in. You know

337
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: the personnel group they're gonna be in. You're gonna be

338
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: a nickel the whole game. You gotta hold up with

339
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: a run. And so that's the challenge and you gotta

340
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: win because what since he says is our players are

341
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: better than you or players. Our receivers are better than

342
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: your receivers. And if you don't double chase, if you

343
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: double Chase, Higgins is gonna have a two hundrd day.

344
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: If you don't double Chase, he might have a two

345
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: hundred yard day. If you try to double Talibort will

346
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: catch touch best on the scene. So hard game. You

347
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: can't win this game coverage. You have to win this

348
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: game with pressure from your four guys. Yeah, it's weird.

349
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: I actually think the Bengals have a better roster top

350
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: to bottom when you look at the starters than the Chiefs.

351
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs have higher end players. Chris Jones is better than

352
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: anyone on the Bengals D. But I don't trust readers

353
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: are really good. Yes, so is a Hill. They're really

354
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: good players, and so is Hendrickson and Hubard. Those front

355
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: forests make their team. What I would say is the

356
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs are better. This offensive wine for the males product.

357
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: It didn't show up last week, it could show up

358
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah. Um, so I tried to do this

359
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: on the pod this week ranked the final four coaches

360
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: UM the head coaches best to worst, And again we're

361
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: splitting hairs here, but all these Bengals fans are upset

362
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: that I had Zach Taylor fourth UM and Sirianni third.

363
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: How would you rank the last fourth standing? Well, I think,

364
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: to me, Sirianni and Zach Taylor or a combination of

365
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: their staffs, right. I think Kyle runs the program there

366
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: in in San Francisco, from who gets picked in the

367
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: draft to who plays and how they call it, and

368
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's and I think it's the same thing with

369
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. Brett Beach does a great job, but Brett

370
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: works for Andy, which is the way it should be,

371
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: and they do a great job of working together. So

372
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: I think it's hard just a single I obviously, I think,

373
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: and he's gonna league when you get to this many

374
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: conference championship games during by your own and Kyle certainly

375
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: has done a great job. I kind of think it's

376
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: to me because Sirianni doesn't call plays, and he lets

377
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: Steve Strickland do that. Stricken do that, So I would

378
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: probably go Zack and then and then Nick because Nick

379
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: doesn't really call him. But Nick's two coordinators have done

380
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: a great job. You know, I worry Zack when he's

381
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: calling the game, Like last week against Buffalo, he was

382
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: running the ball really well. Was he gonna get bored

383
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: with running? The one thing about Philly is Philly doesn't

384
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: get bored with it. Now. I think Philly in that

385
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: game will come out throw him. I think Philly is

386
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna because whoever gets to lead in the game is

387
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: going to be the more dangerous defense. Fox Sports Radio

00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: R to listen live. Everybody's basically been fading brock Purty.

392
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Oh he's gonna screw up. He's got seventh round pick

393
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: and people have lost a lot of money, all these

394
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: sharp and he's perceived sharp gamblers have been getting murdered

395
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: fading brock Purdy, and they all want to do it

396
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: again this weekend. Um. When I look at what Gannon

397
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: does defensively, I mean he gives up the middle of

398
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: the field, gives up the run. We're just not giving

399
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: up the big play that's gonna play into Shanna Hands

400
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: Hands isn't it. I think, well to so what when

401
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: you say Purdy is gonna ship the bed right, Yeah,

402
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: you're saying you really don't know. You can't say because

403
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: Purdy has never been asked to really lay in the bed.

404
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: He's been Yeah, he has been able to play from

405
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: the front. Yeah, been able to play a play at

406
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: in pass game, he's had a Kyle has given him

407
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: a lot of easy throws and the kids don't parkable job. Look,

408
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: he's done a way better the job than Trade Lance everything.

409
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's go back to the Houston preseason game

410
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: where Kyle basically said we gotta get to Garoppolo back

411
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: because Lance can't do it like Purdy can do it.

412
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: And he's made the game easy for Purdy. The problem is,

413
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: if you really want to talk about it in football terms,

414
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: is Purdy has never had to play from behind. We've

415
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: never seen that, and in this game, if he has

416
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: to play from behind, that conounds a couple issues. So

417
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: the forty offensive line is a run blocking, play action,

418
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: pass protection offensive line. If they have to play in

419
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: a drop back game, they have a really hard time.

420
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: And so if he gets behind and they have to

421
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: drop back, those two things come together, make it hard.

422
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: First first series of Dallas game, so they sack him

423
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: on that they're trying to run the Flair screen out

424
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: to the left. He gets sacked. Now it's third and sixteen.

425
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: You know they gotta he's gotta it's a drop back

426
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: pass game. You can't run a plax, so they gotta

427
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: run a bubbles. They gotta run the crooks Lant they

428
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: don't get so it's hard. So the only way he's

429
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: not he's going to ship the bed is if they

430
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: get from behind. That's why to me, both these teams

431
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: have to play from in front. It's really important. And

432
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: and what San Francisco has to do more than anything

433
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: is they've got to win first down. They've got to

434
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: be in second and four. When Washington won the game,

435
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: Washington was in second and four second. They were getting

436
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: positive yards on every play. That's the key for San Francisco. Yeah,

437
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: I keep looking at the whole like, oh, Eagles haven't

438
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: played anybody. Well, they played five top ten defenses according

439
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: to Football Outsiders. Problem is there's backup quarterbacks in three

440
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: of those games. And you know, if you never look

441
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: at a schedule, like I guess so tired, you look

442
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: at the schedule, the schedule or what quarterbacks you play. Yeah,

443
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean you know, like like if you're if you're,

444
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: if you are uh Damiko. Ryan's right, you're not gonna

445
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: watch the New Orleans game with Gardner Minshew and you

446
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: get ready for Jalen Hurst because New Orleans them. But

447
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: that's not they're gonna be when you play. You watch

448
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: the Indie game because that's how they how they attacked

449
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Indie is kind of how they may want to attack you.

450
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: You watch the Chicago game because that's how they want

451
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: to attack you. So you kind of have to understand

452
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: what schemes your opponents, the opponents that run similar schemes.

453
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: That gives you the idea of how they want to attack. Yeah.

454
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: I look around the internet. I talk to people. I

455
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: haven't heard one person. One person might pick the Niners

456
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Everybody thinks the Eagles. Is it an

457
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: overreaction to killing a bad Giants team. Oh, Eagles are back,

458
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: hurt is healthy, They're back at full strength. Lane Johnson's

459
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: out there. We got this. Not one person taking the night.

460
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot. I mean, I think the

461
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: problem San Francisco gave the problems at Dallas cape San

462
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Francisco are real. They're real on the tape, and they're

463
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: going to manifest themselves. And if Gannon does change things

464
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: up and creates problems for Kyle and changes his look,

465
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Dallas had a lot of different packages in the game.

466
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: They had a four man line, they had the three,

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: they had a double eagle look. They had a lot

468
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: of different looks and in San Francisco never really got

469
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: got it. They scored, but they held them down. This

470
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be a nineteen to twelve game. This is

471
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna get And so I think the reason people like

472
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Philly is because I think at the end of the day,

473
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: Philly's offense is more adapt to handle more things than

474
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco, especially if they get behind. Maybe it was

475
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: my untrained eye, but I did not see San Francisco

476
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: do anything exotic, creative, nothing that cal Shay usually has

477
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: a player to where you're like, damn, that was awesome.

478
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see any of that against Dallas. I'm not

479
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: saying he was holding back, but it felt almost like

480
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: a conservative game plan. I think he would I think

481
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: he was concerned that they were He wouldn't want to.

482
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean he had a hard time blocking him, had

483
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: a hard time blocking him. And the speed I think

484
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: was overwhelming. I think the speed of Dallas's defense was

485
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: a little overwhelming. I don't think they thought I think

486
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: they thought they were fast. I don't think they thought

487
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: they were that fast. That's where phill is going to

488
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: get caught a little bit, because when you play Francisco

489
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: and you don't realize how fast they are until you

490
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: play them, and Stamford and Doubt is the same way.

491
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: Dallas is really fast, and Dallas attacks and so edges

492
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: are fast. So all those screens that you're running to

493
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: the sideline, you think your your line back, your running

494
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: back is gonna be able to not allow the guy

495
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: closed on you to make the tackle. He does, And

496
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this play that looks like you

497
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: can go for six yards goes for no yards. Um it.

498
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: Let's move away from the game's briefly talk about some

499
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: of the coaching moves. Uh. Frank Reich. It was announced

500
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: recording this Thursday. Frank Reich is the new coach in Carolina.

501
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: You think that's a good fit. I mean, they don't

502
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. But everybody liked ke early in the

503
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 1: end of years, he just had a different quarterback every year.

504
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Do you think he's got a chance there in Carolina?

505
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Because I think everybody thinks Brady's out of Tampa and

506
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know in your division that

507
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: none of those teams are really good, doesn't kind of look.

508
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna go back to Tampa. I think, look, Frank,

509
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think Frank. You know, Frank recommended Rivers,

510
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: Frank recommended Wentz, and I think once those two things

511
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: didn't work, I think that became problematic form within the building.

512
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: And then I think that building maybe our building to

513
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: work in based on what we've seen recently. So you know,

514
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: I feel for Steve Wilkes. I think Steve did a

515
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: great job. I really do. I think Steve did a

516
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: great job for the six games. He goes six and six,

517
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: So D J. Moore keeps his hat on. Probably he's

518
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It's a good point. Do you think

519
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: Wright goes back after Wentz because apparently it was the owner,

520
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the crazy owner, or say who got Wentz out of there?

521
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: Anybody's gonna go after I don't think anybody is gonna

522
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: go after Wins. I think people on the staff that

523
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: we're with wins that left Frank last year. One of

524
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: the reasons they left was because I don't think they

525
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: were really in love with Winz. Yeah, I would agree.

526
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan either. Um, let's go to mind Jets, Michael,

527
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I know you love the Jets obviously. And then Nathaniel Hackett.

528
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: Higher I kind of vomited in my mouth when it

529
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: first happened. Um, I had read that who was a

530
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: Darryl Bevil and Bill Callahan did not even want to

531
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: interview for the O C job because of the uncertainty

532
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: at quarterback. I don't want to hear that this about

533
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Um, tell me give me one reason to

534
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: be excited for Nathaniel Hackett. Well, I mean, look, you

535
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: know I think the reason that's come down you gotta

536
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: understand how the NFL works. Right, So your head coach

537
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: is best friends with the Lafleur family, Mike and Okay,

538
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: and so who does he call? He didn't want to

539
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: fire that Mike. He didn't want to fire the older

540
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: fire Mike. Whether they say that or not, he was

541
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: his best friend. Right, There's no chance and Mike will

542
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: probably end up at the Rams as the offensive coordinator

543
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: out there, So he went back for advice, and Matt's like,

544
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: you should hire Nathaniel if you look at Dathaniel's numbers,

545
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: whether it was in whether it was in Jacksonville for

546
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: the year, whether it was you know, he had Blake

547
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: Bartles one throw away from getting to the super Bowl,

548
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: right if he he under throws that seven against the Patriots,

549
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: Patriots win that game. You know they were fifteenth overall

550
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: in d V O A at year. You know, he's

551
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: rarely been outside of the twenties and d B O A.

552
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: But he's got better players and he's gonna have to

553
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: figure out the quarterback situation. I mean, that offense in

554
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Denver was as bad as it could be. However, that

555
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: being said, maybe he's more suited to be a court

556
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: da he as a head coach. We can wrap up

557
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: with this one, Mike Um. There's a lot of speculation

558
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: that Kellen Moore may get shoved out by McCarthy. Now

559
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: I can't tell if this is the owner Jerry Jones saying, hey,

560
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: we hit we hit a ceiling two years in a

561
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: row in the playoffs. We need to make a move.

562
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't I'm surprised that they'd be shoving out Kellen Moore.

563
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: That that that surprises me. What do you what are

564
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: your what's your taking? Well, I think Mike McCarthy, you know,

565
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy want a super Bowl calling plays. Mike McCarthy

566
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: took that job because Jerry told him that Kellen Moore

567
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: is a is an up and coming great offensive play caller.

568
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I never feel I feel Kellen Moore calls plays he

569
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: doesn't an offense to win the game. Let me give

570
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: you an example. Okay, last week against San Francisco, everybody's

571
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: focused on the last play of the game. Okay, that

572
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: that that's stupid. Don't waste your time on that play.

573
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: Let's go back to three o eight to go in

574
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: the game, first and ten at the eight team. Okay,

575
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: if you're the play caller there and you really understand football,

576
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: you can't punt there. And people say, well, the analytics

577
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: say you can't punt there. You've got three time outs.

578
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: The reason you can't punt there has nothing to do

579
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: with analytics. The reason you can't play there in San

580
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: Francisco has the best putter in the league by far

581
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: of pinning you inside the ten yard line. He's done

582
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: it thirty two times this year. Okay, so you can't

583
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: punt there because if you punt there, and what they did,

584
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: they screwed up the punt. They got it off at

585
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: two oh five. But if you punt there, you're gonna

586
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: get the ball back, maybe with no timeouts, and you're

587
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna have the ball not at your own five yard line.

588
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll have it at the tent, but you're gonna

589
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: have to go ninety yards to get the ball back. So,

590
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: as a play caller, as somebody who calls plays and

591
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: understands how to win the game, you start that drive off.

592
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: You know you gotta get yards. It's not like we're

593
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: gonna go, let's get it all back at one time,

594
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: because we might be in a third, we might be

595
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: in a fourth and one, we might be in a

596
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: fourth and three. Like you call it so that you

597
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: kind of it's not not in two minutes. You're kind

598
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: of in a little bit of a hurry up. But

599
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: he goes right into two throws, three and complete passes,

600
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: burns no time off the clock. Now they got a

601
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: punt and they shouldn't have put it. So I think

602
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: that when you watch, when I watched out. I see

603
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: a guy that calls plays that doesn't understand how to

604
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: win the game. That's kind of harsh. But I mean,

605
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: I guess I can't totally disagree that. I thought. I

606
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't think that was particularly good in that game, But

607
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: I guess he's got to have a new offense coming in. Um,

608
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: I think hardly. You know that wasn't good and but

609
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna But I think when they when Cooper Rush

610
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: went in, they monitored their offense to fit what they

611
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: had to do. And when that comes back, you can't

612
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: let dadda has to be modified too. That's the job

613
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: of the coach. That's the Bill Walsh used to have

614
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: this note stick to his to his desk. What assets

615
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: do I have that I'm not using? What assets do

616
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: I have that I'm overusing? I think with Dad, better

617
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: make sure you're not overusing him. He needs to be

618
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: fit in the system. Yeah, well, they gotta keep Pollar

619
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,920

628
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: we spent probably six months working together at FS one.

629
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: He would come on, speak for yourself, Me, Lombardi, a

630
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: couple other guys. Good times, UM, super league, super interesting character.

631
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. We were in the conference room one

632
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: time and Lombardi is like in the corner talking to

633
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: someone on the phone. Little do I know he's on FaceTime.

634
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, who was it? And he shows it

635
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: as Josh McDaniels. It's like, this guy Lombardi very connected.

636
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Shall we say, all right, let's get to best bets

637
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: for conference Championship weekend? And I will say, I'm sure

638
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: the numbers on the pod this week are up a

639
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: little bit after last weekend's fairly dominant sweep. UH three

640
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: and O on the sides include and then four no.

641
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: When you tossed in the Kansas City Chiefs first half,

642
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 1: UH did miss on some props, but if you Parlay

643
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: teased you cleaned up. It was an incredible weekend. Here

644
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: is the crappy news. I don't know that I have

645
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: a ton I'm willing to put on the line in

646
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: this game. Do you keep your powder dry for the

647
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Folks? These are the four best teams. No

648
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: spread has touched three yet I don't think Eagles get

649
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: to three. Even though McCaffrey uh did not practice the

650
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: last two days. Casey is now the favorite. Once again,

651
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: it was Cincinnati and now it's Casey Cincinnati on the

652
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes fears. Here's my thing, uh, and when we'll start

653
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: with the first game San Fran Eagles. So I do

654
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: believe the four nine will win. I did bet under

655
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: twenty three one half. But here's my thing. Smart people

656
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: that I trust and I value their opinion seem to

657
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: think this will be more of a high scoring game

658
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: that people think. The logic is, if Philadelphia gets to

659
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: an early lead, the game state will show. Brock Purty

660
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: has to throw the football to get San Friend back

661
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: in the game, and Philly's big edged on offense is

662
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: on the outside, as our guest told you last week,

663
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: where you can take advantage of the San fran Corners.

664
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: My pushback is, well, how do you know the Eagles

665
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: are jump into an early lead? What leads you to

666
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: believe that just because they smoked the Giants last week?

667
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the Eagles face a top tier defense

668
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: in a while with Jalen Hurts healthy. That's the big

669
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: issue with this. Like everybody wants to say the Eagles

670
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: are back to being the dominant team, they were okay,

671
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 1: and last week I knew the Eagles were a slam

672
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: dun side over the Giants, but that was more about

673
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: the Giants being awful. I like the Eagles offense. I

674
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: do think that there's gonna be an opportunity for them

675
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: to have success, but what they do well the ground

676
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: game does not mesh with what San Francisco gives up.

677
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: Last week, I think I saw the stat that they were, uh,

678
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles running backs weren't not getting contact from the

679
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: defense for like over two and a half yards. It

680
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: might have been three, three point two, whatever the number was,

681
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, wow, how bad is that defensive line?

682
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: They're getting bullied by healthy Eagles. Well, you know who

683
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: doesn't get bullied is Armstead and Bosa and the best

684
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: linebacking duo in the league, like they're the number one

685
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: run stopping defense. This they're They're not going to get

686
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: run on. That's just you can't run on this team.

687
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: The linebackers are just too fast sideline to sideline guys.

688
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: So then you start thinking, okay, well, if they can't run,

689
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: can Hurts run? Well, I don't know if if you're

690
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: if you're coming off the injury, are you putting Jalen

691
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: Hurts in space? Now? It looked like they were doing

692
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: it against the Giants, but again that's the Giants are.

693
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: Linebackers are terrible. So I don't see where Philly has

694
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: a ton of success. And obviously, listen, if Purty falls

695
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: behind the most, he's trailed with ten against the Raiders

696
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: and they're not good. So I don't know what you

697
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: can take away from that game. So yeah, bock Purty

698
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: if he's down fourteen, nothing, they're in trouble. But hello,

699
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: that hasn't really happened. Let's stop looking at that Chiefs

700
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: game where the Chiefs went up and down the field

701
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: against the Niners. By the way, that was a second

702
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: half thing really where they ran away and hit in

703
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: that game. But I do believe san Fran will be

704
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: able to move the ball. My thing is usually you

705
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: want to defer to the second half. I think that's

706
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: the move in this game. I think you want the

707
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: ball first. I think san Fran has to be confident.

708
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan one of the best play callers in the league.

709
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: I think he gets the ball, goes right down the field,

710
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: nice little eight minute drive, run, run, run, And that

711
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: leads me to one of my first props. If McCaffrey

712
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: is not a percent now he said he will play,

713
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: but he hasn't practiced. If Mitchell isn't and he said

714
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: he will play, he hasn't practiced. I think you've got

715
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: to look at Deebo Samuel rushing receiving. I saw the number,

716
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: shoot words, it is it seventy four and a half, yes,

717
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: seventy four and a half over rushing and receiving yards.

718
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: So think about this. If let's say, you know McCaffrey, Mitchell,

719
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: if they're okay, or one of them gets banged up,

720
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think I saw the said Deebo Samuel

721
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: has not fumbled this season. They trust him. I like

722
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: the kid Mason. You're not giving them ball to Mason

723
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: in a pivotal spot early in this game. Are you

724
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: maybe late trying to assault it away? But Debo is

725
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: your guy. They ride him because they trust him. He's

726
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: the Yak King and Philadelphia historically, and we talked about

727
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: this with Lobardi. Philadelphia sits back and says, we will

728
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: concede the three, four or five six yard plays. We're

729
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: not letting you, We're not letting you beat us tat

730
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: there will be opportunities for Yak. We know that the

731
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: four nine receivers I ucause a really good blocker, Kidles

732
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: a really good blocker. There's a chance Debo is gonna

733
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: pop with And I don't think parties looking deep, but

734
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: I do think Debo can easily top seventy four and

735
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: a half rushing receiving yards so under first half under

736
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: twenty three one half debot over seventy four and a

737
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: half rushing and receiving. And I think for the Eagles side,

738
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at the Jalen Hurts

739
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: passing yards over and again. I'm taking the look at

740
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: this that again. I believe Philadelphia is going to um

741
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball to get back in this

742
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: because I don't think they're gonna be able to run

743
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: the football. So I would be looking at Jalen Hurts

744
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: over now the numbers kind of high to forty seven

745
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: and a half because if San Fran is able to

746
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: run the ball and two o'clock, there's not gonna be

747
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: a lot of possessions in this one. This is gonna

748
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: be sand Frand grinding it out. Jalen Hurts sitting on

749
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: the sideline, and is he gonna be able to pop

750
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: a big one? Everybody wants to point to Hey, remember

751
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: the last time these two teams met, Quiz Watkins caught

752
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: like a ninety yard pass. I think he got tackled

753
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: at the one. They can pop a big one. I

754
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: think they can pop a big one. A J. Brown

755
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: is definitely a threat. But one of the things sand

756
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: Frand does is they play a lot of zone defense.

757
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: They mix it up. When you've got fast linebackers that

758
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: can cover, you've got safeties that can ping around. I

759
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: mean mofonga, he's in the box, he's deep, he's everywhere.

760
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: This is a defense that's gonna play. Try to play

761
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: tricks on Jalen Hurts. Dak Prescott, you did see him

762
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: tuck and run a little bit and I had a

763
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: buddy forty Niners fan because watch the team. He's like,

764
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks have given us problems. I'm like, I just

765
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: it's tough for me to see Jalen Hurts sticking his

766
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: body on the line with that injury. I mean, if

767
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: he goes down Gardner Minshew like, listen, we've seen him.

768
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: He's limited. He's not terrible, but he's limited. He's definitely

769
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: not the best backup in the league at any rate.

770
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: I would look at Jalen Hurts passing yards and I

771
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: do think ultimately the Niners win. I don't know about

772
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: a teaser because I mean, listen, there's a scenario where

773
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: they get blasted, UM and they literally get blown out

774
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: and run out of Philadelphia. UM, Philadelphia at night can

775
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: be very dicey. This game will and you know what,

776
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: seven o'clock at seven o'clock issue dark, it's gonna be

777
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: freezing that that scene at Lincoln Financial. Go ask Kirk

778
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: Cousins about it from earlier this season. UM, remember the

779
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Vikings in the conference championship game. And if this Philadelphia

780
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: offense gets rolling with the big playability of Brown and

781
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 1: Davante Smith after the catch brock Purty. You know, I'm

782
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: not fading Brock pretty, but the scenario to me easily

783
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: exists where rookie quarterback conference championship they're owing for straight

784
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: up one and three against the spread. I talked to

785
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: Mark sante Is about his first conference championship game. It

786
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: was in Indie. They got beat down. Um, they got

787
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: him back the next year, but it was a bit

788
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: of a beat down. And these rookie quarterbacks, listen, it's

789
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: a top You don't want to make a mistake. That's obvious.

790
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, playing at home one thing. Now going on

791
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: the road, just it's it's a tall order for pretty.

792
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm still leaning to the Niners. You know, if Philly

793
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: does go up fourteen, that will be the super interesting one.

794
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: Do you go ahead and bet Philly, hey, they're gonna

795
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: run away with this, or do you trust Shanahan to

796
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: come back? We shall see. Shannahan great game planner. By

797
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: the way, Shanahan seven and one against the spread in

798
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: the Playoffsky is good. Just insulting away those leads has

799
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: been a bit of an issue. All right, Onto the

800
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: other one. Bengals chiefs. Now, you guys know, earlier in

801
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: the week, I told you. I think it was Monday

802
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: that when the line came out, I saw Bengals at

803
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: pick them. I said, listen, anything under Bengals to and

804
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: a half you gotta smash. So I did hit it.

805
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: Pick them. Um. Now that Mahomes looks healthy, but we

806
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: don't know how healthy. We don't. It's still got a

807
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: plant and pass um. I am looking at playing um well.

808
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: I did play Kansas City Chiefs first half on the

809
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: money line minus one sixteen in this three game set,

810
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: and I know that's a tiny sample size. Read comes

811
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: out with unbelievable game plans. I know everybody who wants

812
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: to look at the Bengals last week and jumping out

813
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: on the Bills, I tossed that out. I Buffalo just

814
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: they just they were not the side there. You guys

815
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: know we were all over Bengals. I do believe Andy

816
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: Reid comes out at home. There is some bad blood

817
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: between these two teams. Bengals are running their mouth a lot.

818
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: I like Andy Reid. It's just the master game planner.

819
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: I think they come out, they get an early lead.

820
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: Now whether or not they can hold onto it. You know,

821
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm reluctant to bet she's full game, because do we

822
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: know if Mahomes is gonna make the full game. I don't.

823
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: I do know one thing, Joe Burrow is never out

824
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: of a game. That guy, as long as he's got

825
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: chased on the field with him and they're not playing

826
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: the Browns, Joe Burrows in the mix, the defense is

827
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna keep him in it, and Burrow will make the place.

828
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: I would look at rushing yards over for Burrow. And

829
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of a reverse of last week. So last

830
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: week the offensive line down three guys. That was the

831
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: talking point, and they were fine. Some people want to

832
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: say it was the snow. Other people want to say

833
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: it was the Buffalo pass rush, probably a combination. That

834
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: being said, Chris Jones and Frank Clark are much better

835
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: than anybody Buffalo had last week. And I do believe

836
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Burrow will be under some duress. I do believe he

837
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: will be scrambling. I don't know. I'm not ready to

838
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: say for his life, but I think the opportunity is there.

839
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: And remember the Chief's linebackers other than Bolton, I don't

840
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: think are particularly great. So I can see Joe Burrow

841
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: getting on, running up, just escaping the pocket and doing

842
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: his best to pick up yardage as opposed to make mistakes.

843
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: So there, I think they're two way to attack that.

844
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: Two ways to attack that. Number one for UM rushing props.

845
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: See if see what number you got on Burrow. I

846
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: see a seventeen and a half. I mean, folks, that's

847
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: that's two runs. You know that's easily two or three runs.

848
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 1: I think Burrow will be under duress, and I think

849
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: escaping is one way to bet it. The other way

850
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: to bet it is who's he going to be dumping

851
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: off too? And the answer is not necessarily Joe Mixon.

852
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: I think you need to see what you could get

853
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: for some j p Ryan, who actually is more of

854
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: a receiving back than Mixing and what else. The Chiefs

855
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: are very poor defending running backs out of the backfield.

856
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: They ran twenty eight according to Football Outsiders Now in

857
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: the last meeting, p Ryan had six for forty nine

858
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: through the air. Mixing was injured when the cold speak

859
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City. UM They're running backs had eight catches for

860
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: forty three yards. Devin Singletary when Buffalo beat him earlier

861
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: this year, four for twenty two. It's just like like

862
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: Bolton a lot. He's number thirty two. He's got like

863
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 1: the braids. Guy flies around, makes a million tackles. Other

864
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: than Bolton, I don't really think their safeties are gonna

865
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: be coming up looking to tackle p Ryan. I think

866
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be focused on Jamaar Chase and Tee Higgins

867
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: on the outside. So I think p Ryan easily you know,

868
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: three or four or five catches up in the thirties. Um,

869
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: I think that's a play. I really like p Ryan over.

870
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: I'm seeing sixteen and a half right now at one

871
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: one book. Now, obviously, you guys saw the gambling ads

872
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: we did. Listen. Draft Kings has done a great job

873
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: putting some advertising out there. There's a lot of you

874
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: never want to say free money because that's kind of

875
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: lame and um cheesy if you will. But the way

876
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: I look at it, if you play it smart with

877
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: some of this free money that draft Kings is offering,

878
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: it could be a really nice weekend for you, assuming

879
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: you didn't fire last weekend. So for the game on

880
00:44:54,360 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: pot committed on Bengals, um pick them easily, buy out

881
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: of that. I think my one concern, and I know

882
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: this is this is not the most in depth penetrating

883
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: analysis but or Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes really gonna

884
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: lose four straight to Cincinnati Bengals. And I asked that

885
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: because I was on the Chiefs in the meeting earlier

886
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: this year. Chiefs are up a touchdown, they're driving Travis

887
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: Kelsey fumble, Travis Kelsey almost never fumbles, and then Andy

888
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: Reid made a catastrophic mistake later in the game. It

889
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: was like fourth and seven could have gone for it.

890
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the Chiefs, it's Mahomes. He opts to

891
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: kick a fifty five yard field goal, and special teams,

892
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: which has not been good at all for the Chiefs

893
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: much of the season, failed him. I don't know, guys. Ultimately,

894
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: I think Kansas City now it probably prevails if Mahomes

895
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: is healthy. I don't but I already bet Bengals. I

896
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: do have some futures on the Bengals. I think I

897
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: have plus four ten to win the a f C

898
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: from earlier the Sea, and I have some forty Niners,

899
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: so I probably should heads with the Eagles, But I

900
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I think this is one this game I

901
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: feel less sure about than Eagles Niners. If you go

902
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: at one without fail, go ask a couple of buddies.

903
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: Who you got this weekend? I will guarantee if you

904
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: ask ten, nine are on the Eagles. If you only

905
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: ask five, I guarantee you four are on the Eagles.

906
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 1: Nobody has taken Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan in the spot.

907
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what good reason. But you know what, who

908
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: everybody liked last week? Everybody? Oh Giants getting seven and

909
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: a half. Come on, everybody like Dallas last week? Just

910
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: be careful when the when the masses are headed one way.

911
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: Al Right, guys, that's a long pod heading into Conference

912
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,440
