It's a beautiful day 34 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: to be alive, especially if you're a Chiefs fan, because 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: you won the Super Bowl again and now you're three 36 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: and oh, you take down the Falcons in a very 37 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: entertaining game Atlanta. I would say, you know, BN O 38 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: and three would have been a disaster, So I don't 39 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: want to say save their season. It's only September twenty second, 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: but that win against the Eagles was huge Tonight would 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: have been massive had their opportunities. I got to talk 42 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: about that fourth down call. I just not pretending to 43 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: be Mike Shanahan here, but I think we've all watched 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: enough offensive football. I just I couldn't get behind that 45 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: play call. And we'll just talk about some other moments 46 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: in the game, some big picture topics with both teams. 47 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: Something really quick on the forty nine ers.

I don't. 63 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: I just I like standalone Monday night games. Especially these 64 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: two games kind of weird, but it is what it is, 65 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: not like I can change it. So yeah, let's get 66 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: ready for the Monday Night doubleheader.

He's playing at Nielan Stadium where the 75 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee Volunteers play. There's like one hundred thousand people. And 76 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: he had Josh Hipel, who just got an enormous win 77 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: against the Sooners, which think I'm gonna go to the 78 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: Sooners against Texas here in a couple of weeks in Dallas, 79 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: hopefully the tickets drop a little bit. And Nico the 80 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: quarterback and Peyton Manning walked out with him Peyton Manning 81 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: was in a full uniform with pads and put on 82 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: his helmet.

Okay, 92 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: let's dive into the game big picture. I thought it 93 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: was really fun both those two teams. And one thing 94 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: we've learned about Atlanta is they're a really physical team. 95 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: They are really good on defense. I've been really impressed, 96 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: and clearly the Chiefs have one of the best things 97 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: going right now because they're defense. They're a defensive team. 98 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: That's what they are. The days of scoring fifty points 99 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: throwing for four hundred and fifty yards, it's not gonna happen, 100 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: and they don't care. They are very, very comfortable playing 101 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: in that game. So when the Falcons are driving, really 102 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: they had two drives to take the lead, And I'm 103 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: glad because a conversation a narrative, fair or not. Listen, 104 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: I'm biased. I'm not phased when the Chiefs get the calls, 105 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: but I understand being on the other end of it. 106 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: It feels like the other team is constantly getting screwed. 107 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: And Kyle Pitts, who you know, should have been called 108 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: on the pass on third down for a pass interference, 109 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: it's not called. Next place, bags dows up a great blitz, 110 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: turn the ball over, then they get the ball back 111 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: and they get a makeup call. It happens all the 112 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: time in the NBA, and it happened tonight in the NFL. 113 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: And then they got a couple other calls. So I 114 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: do not want to hear about the refs were in 115 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: the bag for the Chiefs because they blew it. They 116 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: missed the call on Pits, which should have been called 117 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: by the letter of the law, even though that play, 118 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: that call like doesn't bother me in most situations, but 119 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: I get it standalone game Sunday night didn't get called. 120 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: I think it's fair for people to be like, oh 121 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: this ps then the Falcons got the ball back with 122 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: more than enough time and timeouts and got several calls 123 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 1: a horse caller a PI that was not PI because 124 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: the defender gets a spot to own the ground too 125 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: when Ray Reid runs into him, and it came down 126 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: to a fourth in inches and in my personal opinion 127 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: on a fourth inches play, I don't love lateral runs. 128 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: And in theory, the Falcons are a very good running 129 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: team because Bijon Robinson is easily one of the most 130 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: talented backs in the league. But on a lateral run 131 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: in a zone running scheme, it is going to open 132 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: holes for the linebacker, especially when the defense is in 133 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: like a goal line set so to get the edge, 134 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: especially on a defense, I would say this about the Chiefs. 135 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there is a defense in the league 136 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: one through eleven who's as good, who's as well coached, 137 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: whose players are as smart and top to bottom as 138 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: physical as the Chiefs. We'll see what the Steelers. Obviously 139 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: they're really good this year on defense. The Falcons are 140 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: solid on defense too. I don't think their d line 141 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: is as good as the Chiefs. But every guy on 142 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City plays downhill, will tackle, will throw their body around, 143 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: which is obviously rare. I would say more than half 144 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: the NFL has holes on defense when it comes to physicality. 145 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: That ain't an issue with the Chiefs. So when you 146 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: run a lateral run and they're in a goal line 147 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: type set, when they know you're gonna run the ball 148 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: and you choose to try to get to the edge, 149 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: it's just not a very physical play. And on that 150 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: obviously Bolton shoots the gap and makes a pretty easy 151 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: tackle for several yard loss. Now, if you want to 152 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: tell me sneaking cousins, I'm not saying I have the 153 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: correct play call, But to me, trying to get to 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: an edge in a situation like that, it's a softer run. 155 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't like it. Now, I'm not gonna crush Atlanta. 156 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: I actually was a hater of them coming into the season. 157 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: They're clearly a lot better than I thought, because the 158 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: last two weeks it got very physical and they matched it. 159 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: And maybe a Falcons fan would say we were physical 160 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: last year as our quarterback play, I go, okay, But 161 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: there's a big difference of playing in games that don't 162 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: matter and playing in some bright light games. Tonight was 163 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: a huge game. After you won last week and they 164 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: matched the physicality. The Chiefs to me, are the best 165 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: defense in the league, and they've been that way for 166 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: a while. Like I said, I think you know them. 167 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: And the Vikings have the two best defensive coordinators. I 168 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: think a couple of weeks ago I said Flores was 169 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: the best DC. Who's not a head coach. Obviously, I 170 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: forgot about Spags and those two guys are elite, and 171 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: their defenses dominate and on that given play and really 172 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: all night down the stretch. Is there a coordinator right now? 173 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: Spags loves the blitz who calls blitzes and hits them 174 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: and has guys free coming at the quarterback more often 175 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: than that. I watched a lot of football today. You 176 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: see a lot of blitzes that don't even get remotely close. 177 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: Yet every time, especially in big spots, when he makes 178 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: the you know, the call to bring a backer, to 179 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: bring a safety, those guys are altering the quarterback. If 180 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: they do not hit him right as he's throwing, they're 181 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: making him move off a spot. The pressure always impacts 182 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: the play. And you can't say that about a lot 183 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: of defenses because a lot of times they're blitzes, don't work, 184 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: they get picked up. It's coming from too far away, 185 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And we don't talk about this 186 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: a lot because it is hard to quantify, but that 187 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: speaks to having really, really intelligent players, speaks to having 188 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: a group that has now played together for a long time. 189 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: They all speak the same language. This is not a 190 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: unit that gets a lot of turnover. They've had the 191 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: same guy now for years, so what they do works. 192 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: They have the same unity top to bottom and from 193 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: Veach and Andy what they look for on defense. The 194 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: type player Spags likes the type players he needs and 195 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: it works. So when me and Colin finished and I 196 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: go out there and I'm watching the first half, and 197 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: a big conversation was where is Travis kelce Is Travis 198 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: Kelcey washed? It's like, guys, One, he's an older player now. Two. 199 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: The style in which the Chiefs have played early in 200 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: the season is not reflective. Do I think the way 201 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,359 Speaker 1: we think about the Chiefs their first two games, Mahomes 202 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: attempted twenty eight and twenty five passes. He completed a 203 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: total of thirty eight passes. Like they're not throwing the 204 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: ball they did tonight, but that's not really the way 205 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: that they play completely different. They are much closer. They're 206 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: basically just a better version of what we're seeing with 207 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers because they have Patrick Holmes right, but 208 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: they want to play defense. They're very, very comfortable playing 209 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: a game in the high teens and winning it that way. 210 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: They were like that last year, they were like that 211 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: two years ago, and they're like that again now. I 212 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: do believe in Rashid Rice. Somehow he avoided the timing 213 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: of his Lamborghini incident where he left the scene, and 214 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: he's not gonna get in trouble this year. He's a 215 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: high end wide receiver. He's really really good Worthy clearly 216 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: a work in progress. Had a big game week one tonight, 217 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: little miscommunication on the one pass him coming across. He 218 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: sits because's probably like that's what Kelsey does all the time. 219 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: He just sits in an open spot. Mahomes thought he 220 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: was gonna keep going, and they missed time the play. 221 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: Maybe in a year, maybe in seven games, that won't happen, 222 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: but early on it's gonna happen. They're relying on Juju 223 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster. They're running back tonight because Pachaco broke his leg. 224 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: Is a guy whose family his sister got married today 225 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: on a Sunday. They had had this wedding planned as 226 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: of the broadcast for well over a year, so that 227 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: means their own family. Even though this guy, I had 228 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: to google him. I mean, I'd been hearing about him 229 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: early on this season, but I didn't quite know the story. 230 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: Besides that he played at UCLA last year. Well, he's 231 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: at ball State two years ago ran for fifteen hundred yards, 232 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: So I would imagine when they were planning this wedding, 233 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: he was maybe making the transition between Ball State and UCLA. 234 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: They choose a date, it never crossed their own family's mind. 235 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: And think about this in life. I would say, in 236 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: my personal experience, no one believes in me more than me, 237 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: but I would put a very very close second in 238 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: my immediate family, especially my parents. So that means his 239 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: sister and their parents came up with he's not going 240 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: to be playing in the NFL. He's not only playing 241 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL because he made the defending multiple time 242 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: champions made the roster at a training camp two weeks 243 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: into the season because of an injury. He's there starting 244 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: running back and leads the team and carries think about that. 245 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: That's one of the most incredible stories I've ever seen. Obviously, 246 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: it's been fun. We've seen he as the alligator, but 247 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: his family scheduled the wedding because they did not believe 248 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: that their own son, their own brother, was an NFL player. 249 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: That's who the Chiefs should plan with. So their team 250 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: is just dramatically different from I think the way we 251 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily myself, but just the overall narrative of their squad. 252 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: And they're just they're a champion for a reason. They 253 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: are elite on defense, They're awesome. They have one of 254 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks we've ever seen, who actually has been 255 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: a little up and down this season. Through an awful 256 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: pick to Justin Simmons in the corner of the end zone. 257 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: It was easy. Yeah, I mean Simmons barely even a jump. 258 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: It's one of those that if it was an average quarterback, 259 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: if that's Daniel Jones or even a car or a Cousins, 260 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: we rush him for. But because he's Mahomes and people 261 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: often say this like, he doesn't get criticized as much. Well, yeah, 262 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: because he doesn't do that shit when it matters. So 263 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: if he does it in mid September, or October, like 264 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do, like cancel the season? 265 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Of course not because I've seen him in the biggest 266 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: spots not make that mistake. But Kelsey two things. They 267 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: try to keep him fresh for the end of the season, 268 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: and they're just not gonna throw to him like they 269 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: once did. I would imagine if we truly broke him down, 270 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't get open as much. But because of their 271 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: receiving corps and the lack of quote unquote elite threats 272 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: on the outside, he gets much more focused these day 273 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: and age like to me, when I think about the Chiefs, 274 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: or you're slowing them down on offense, obviously, Coral Kelsey 275 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: and try to slow down the run like Andy, a 276 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: guy who loves passing, has no problem. He did it 277 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: last year with Pajaco and he's doing it again with 278 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: Pajaco and Steel. He will run the ball slow down 279 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: because he knows his defense can win him games and 280 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: he just sees Mahomes not to turn it over. And 281 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: that's been a little bit of a bugaboo so far 282 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: early in this season. But this team's three and zero, 283 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: I would say they haven't come close to playing like 284 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: an A minus game. And their defense, if it stays 285 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: relatively healthy, can carry him to twelve thirteen wins pretty easily. 286 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: So that was a big win. I also think it 287 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: was an impressive loss. Like Cousins has limitations. If you 288 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: can pressure him, he can't add lib. That's why we 289 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: were so hard last week on Fangio in that spot. 290 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: It's like Vic never blitzes well Vic if you're not 291 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: getting pressure. As Jay Gruden told me last week, Kirk 292 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: Cousins would be like one of the best seven on 293 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: seven quarterbacks in the NFL because he's accurate. If his 294 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: feet can be set, he can make all the throws. 295 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: But when he has to move, Unlike Mahomes and a 296 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: lot of the other top quarterbacks who are much better athletes, 297 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: they can move at live and make all these throws, 298 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: Cousins has to operate within that couple yard radius inside 299 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: the pocket, and when he can step up, he can 300 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: make some nice throws. He did it tonight. When he 301 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: has to move, balls are all over the fucking map 302 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: and you got problems. It's why his ceiling, even when 303 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: he's on, is never as high as the top guys. 304 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: And when he plays the best defenses as he did tonight, 305 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, he was okay, he's fine. He's clearly 306 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: an upgrade from what they've had the last couple of years. 307 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: But like, is he good enough to win a super 308 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: Bowl with? No? Is he good enough to make the 309 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: playoffs with? I would say probably. And I was someone 310 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: I think you could consider me an Atlanta doubter and 311 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta hater coming into this season. They're better than I thought. Now, 312 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: anytime you find yourself in a little bit of a hole, 313 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: we know Tampa and New Orleans are by no means 314 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: any pushovers. It's not a shoeing thing. But they're gonna 315 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: be okay. They're gonna be okay. And I just didn't 316 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: love that play call in that spot, But overall, I 317 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: thought they played pretty well. Kyle Pitts showed some life. 318 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: Drake London is, obviously, you know, a really good wide receiver. 319 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: I love ray Red McLeod miss him on the forty 320 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: nine ers and Bijon is I don't know, top five 321 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: running back talent in the league. So if I'm a 322 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: Falcons fan, it sucks losing a night on a night 323 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: when your owner, How does the owner get inducted into 324 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: the Ring of honor. How does that process play out? 325 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: The Falcons tweeted, like what a night. It's like, yeah, 326 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: he owns the team, puts himself in the ring. Is 327 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: because like when I'm dead, I want my name up there. 328 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. I mean you can do 329 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: whatever you want. You own the team. A little cheesy 330 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: to me, but hey, that's part of being a guy 331 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: with billions of dollars. You can do whatever the hell 332 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: you want. But overall, I think if you're a Falcons fan, 333 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: you feel pretty good. But yeah, I mean that just 334 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: that play call, man, I like going vertical in short 335 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: yard situations. I get it, you're not gonna run the 336 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: tush push, but trying to get to the edges against 337 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: the defense that's really fast, against the defense they can penetrate, 338 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: feels like a lot more can go wrong than go well. 339 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: So big win for the defending champs. They're three and 340 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: zero and just find it away in Atlanta. Got to 341 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: dust themselves off. But I think, you know, after pulling 342 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: off that comeback last week against the Eagles and playing 343 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs as well as they did tonight in a 344 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: weird way, you kind of gotta feel good about yourself 345 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: before we get into overrated underrated. I do want to 346 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: really quick, because Colin and I talked about it, but 347 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: I just spent the last couple hours thinking about this 348 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: Niners rams game like cowboys. I know they came back 349 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: at the but like you got your ass kicked, Like 350 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: you just need to look in the mirror and figure 351 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: some shit out. The Niners not only should have won 352 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: the game, they should have won the game by like 353 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: twenty points. And they couldn't figure it out. And their 354 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: quarterback was incredible, and they were playing a guy. And 355 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: I'm not a huge even when I was hard on 356 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: Brandon Stay. I'll do it a little easier with coaches, 357 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: but I would say in most walks of life, I'm 358 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: not a big call for someone's job. Guy. Like, especially 359 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: with players, it is very very difficult to make the NFL, 360 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: and guys will get cut. It's inevitable. But like you 361 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 1: gotta do be pretty egregious for me to be like 362 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: you need to cut this guy. I remember when like 363 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and twenty two was going on, and 364 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: I knew so many friends of friends. I was living 365 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: in the Barrier at the time that worked for all 366 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: these tech companies. They were making hundreds of thousands of dollars, 367 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: like new people making four five hundred thousand dollars, and 368 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: they were working ten hours a week. Some of these 369 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: companies I was invested in, and the stocks were plummeting. 370 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, this is I'm not calling like these people 371 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: need to be fired, but this is not right. Fucking 372 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: girls going to the country club four days a week 373 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: casting five hundred thousand dollars doing nothing. What inevitably happened, 374 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: they got fired because we live in a production, production 375 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: based society, and whether you're in certain industries, in the 376 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: private sector or it's the NFL, you have to prove 377 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: that you're producing, and if you're not, you're a liability 378 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: and at any moment it could be over. Speaks for myself, 379 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: speaks for a lot of people listening. That's the way 380 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: the world works. And the forty nine ers rolled out 381 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: a guy today named Ronnie Bell who they drafted a 382 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: couple of years ago from Michigan, and he dropped multiple 383 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: passes and one that probably would have sealed the game. 384 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: And part of the reason he's out there because one 385 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: their first rounder got shot on Market Street. Got very 386 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: lucky he didn't die on the site, let alone at 387 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: the hospital. The doctor said, it's one of the craziest 388 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: miracles they've ever seen, probably a two out of one 389 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: hundred chants that someone in that situation would be unfazed, 390 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: let alone live. Obviously, Deebo's injured. It happens. You got 391 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: to play random guys. And Ray Ray McLoud, who is 392 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: a really good, solid role player in the NFL, you 393 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: can't afford to keep. He's on the Falcons now, so 394 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: they're rolling out this guy Ronnie Bell, who plays wide receiver. 395 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: He cannot catch the ball and listen. The forty nine 396 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: or special teams coaching has been an embarrassment for the 397 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: majority of Kyle Shanahan's tenure. Kind of been the opposite. 398 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: I guess the Rams had a bad special teams last year, 399 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: but they've made big special teams moments in the history 400 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: of Sean mcvay's tenure. For Kyle, they have had so 401 00:22:53,440 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: many blown coverages, giving up fake punts, multiple miss field goals. 402 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: They missed a big one today. You're not going to 403 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: file this special teams coach in the middle of the season. 404 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: There's no one else to hire. It is what I'm 405 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: not it'd be pointless for me and say that. But 406 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: if you cannot catch any play wide receiver, you need 407 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: to be cut like you can't dress because if you 408 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: can't do a role, whatever your role is, right, If 409 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: I can't cover anybody and I'm on the I'm on 410 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: dressing for game day and we have a couple of 411 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: injuries in the secondary, I have to play on defense 412 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: and if I can't cover, I'm immediately a liability and 413 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: I could lose us a game. That's football, and you 414 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: only get seventeen of these, so every game matters, and 415 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, it could be the 416 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: difference of getting a wildcard spot, not could be the 417 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: difference of winning a division and getting a home game 418 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and playing on the road. These games 419 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: have consequences. Losing a game in September is just about 420 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: as losing a game in December. They all count the same. 421 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: If the forty nine ers are serious, they cut running 422 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: all tomorrow. He cannot be on the roster. If you 423 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: want to put him on the practice squad because you 424 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: like him, listen, that's fine. I'm not saying the guy 425 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: should be out of the NFL. He cannot be wearing 426 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: pads on a Sunday and you put him in a 427 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: game to run routes and catch balls when he literally 428 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: can't catch like that is that's low level football. That's 429 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: what shitty teams do, and that's what the forty nine 430 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: ers do today. And that's why the Rams, with a 431 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: bunch of guys besides Stafford that you have never heard of, 432 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: completed one of the more impressive upsets I've seen in 433 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: a while. Obviously, the forty nine Ers have lost a 434 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls over the last half decade. You 435 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: could make an argument it doesn't get any worse than 436 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: losing the Super Bowl. That's the worst regular season loss 437 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: of the Kyle Shanne era. That was That's an embarrassment, 438 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: and it's on him when he's rolling out guys that 439 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: have no chance to do their role. I'm watching the game. 440 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: Maria is a huge Niner fan. The ball that he 441 00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: dropped at the end of the game, she thought that 442 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: he was batting it away. It was that bad. Most 443 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: guys go up and high point it even if it 444 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: bounce like he like swung his hands forward. It was 445 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: a joke. It really was. Okay, let's do some overrated 446 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: underrated Obviously, the forty nine ers pretty overrated right now, 447 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: the number one overrated thing in the NFL clearly, And listen, 448 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: I hopped on this bandwagon. I picked this team to 449 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: win the division. The Dallas Cowboys defense the last two 450 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: weeks looks like a team that's gonna win two or 451 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: three games. And I understand the Saints were coming in 452 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: like a freight train. The Ravens were zeroing too, and 453 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: had looked like shit. Last week. They blew a ten 454 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: point lead to the Raiders, who just got blown out 455 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: by Andy Dolton. And at one point in time during 456 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: the game, You're like, are the Ravens gonna run for 457 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: five hundred yards? And here's the thing with the Cowboys. 458 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: They are great front runners. And sometimes that's a very 459 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: negative term, like when things are going well, people it's 460 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: just in any walk of life, like people are happy. 461 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: When things are going bad, people go into the tank. 462 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: Some teams are just built. When I'm leading the game, 463 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: my defense, which is not some run stuffing defense. They're 464 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: good at pass rushing and we got dbs in theory 465 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: that can cover. So I'm much better when I have 466 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: a ten point lead in the second half because my 467 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: defense can play to their strengths. My best player on 468 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: defense is a pass rusher. He's not a run stuffer. Well, 469 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: when you just run at Micah Parsons, he's not exactly 470 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: helloadig Nada. So when you get up on the Cowboys 471 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: and can lean on them, it negates their strength because 472 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: they don't get to play the pass. They got to 473 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: stop the run. And we've seen two weeks in a 474 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: row teams just lean on them and they look small 475 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: and they got shoved around. I told this to Colin 476 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 1: earlier today. The final score of that game does not 477 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: reflect what we witness, not even close. That's one of 478 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: the facus scores of the season. That was an ass kicking. 479 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys got an onside kick. It was not close at all. 480 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: They got demolished in that game. That game was over, 481 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: when it was twenty eight to six, you might go, oh, 482 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, well great, you got your ass kicked. 483 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys now play the Giants on Thursday Night football, 484 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: which I don't know borderline their season. What are they 485 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: gonna start one to three income storm and back, no chance, 486 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: So you can't be the Giants on a short week. 487 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: It's on the road, tough sneaky, tough game. Giants actually 488 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: looked pretty good, but Cowboys defense just looks a troch 489 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: to talk about overrated underrated. You know, I listened to 490 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: the discourse last week about Bryce Young and a lot 491 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: of former players, and you know, people on television like 492 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: the melk Hipers of the world that thought the world 493 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: of Bryce Young, and full disclosure, I was pro Bryce Young. 494 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: I would have taken him as well over CJ. Stroud. 495 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: So I'm not playing Monday Morning quarterback when I say 496 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: they made the wrong pick, because I, like many people 497 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: around the NFL, would have done the same thing. But 498 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: then we watched the guy play with several different coaches 499 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: and several different pieces an independent of his organization, he 500 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: was atrocious. Like, despite your owner and despite your play calling, 501 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: there are gonna be plays when you're just sitting there 502 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: in the pocket and there is a guy wide open, 503 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with the dysfunction in 504 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: the organization. Either making the pass or you're not. And 505 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: Bryce was just consistently not even coming remotely close to 506 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: making the past. And then Andy Dalton comes in, a 507 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: guy who, let's face it, most people make fun of. 508 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: He looked like Joe fucking Montana Today. I get he's 509 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: playing the Raiders, who, as Antonio Pierce said after the game, 510 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: felt like a lot of guys on his own team quit. 511 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: So Andy Dalton and that offense which has been putrid. 512 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: As rich Gannon said last week on NFL Radio when 513 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: I was driving around, they had not had a lead 514 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: during the actual regulation of a game for ten straight weeks, 515 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: dating back to last season. The two games they had 516 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: won over that stretch were on last second field goals. 517 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: They just never been up seven to nothing or ten 518 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: to seven at any point in a game over the 519 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: last ten weeks, and today they came out. He's the 520 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: first quarterback this season to throw for three hundred yards 521 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: and throw three touchdowns. He had three touchdowns in the 522 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 1: first half. You know why, he just looked like a 523 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: normal NFL player. And you know, an underrated part about 524 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: the NFL is having a capable backup because most times 525 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: your backup is going to be a former starter and 526 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: a guy that's easy to make fun of. But if 527 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: that guy gets inserted, can you win with him? Because 528 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: how many good teams around the NFL wish Andy Dalton 529 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: was their backup because ultimately, with the Panthers. It doesn't 530 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: really matter. They're clearly not gonna go to the playoffs 531 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton. But if you were the Chiefs, if 532 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: you were the Bills, if you were one of these 533 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: teams in your court, like Mahomes, if he had that 534 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: play where he tried to kneel it and his knee 535 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: kind of got bent. Funny, what if he just had 536 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: to miss a couple weeks? Could they win with Carson Wentz. 537 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: I think we'd say yeah because of the defense and Andy, 538 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: But what if Carson's is terrible? Like one thing I 539 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: know about Andy Dalton is like he could just play 540 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL and when he's on, he's not bad. 541 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: And today obviously he was really good, But I do 542 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: think that was more a reflection of like, Andy Dalton 543 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: today is light years better than Bryce Show. And I 544 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,719 Speaker 1: think he's a guy that's easy for everyone to make 545 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: fun of, and it's almost feels a little unfair. Overrated. 546 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: This guy's the most overrated coach in the NFL by 547 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: a mile. He has a huge media contingent behind him. 548 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: He wears designer clothes, he's got a fifty K watch on, 549 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: and he wears Caprice. He's yet to win a big 550 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: game in his NFL career, and now because Tua as 551 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: a concussion has gone for who knows how long, has 552 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: to play with random quarterbacks and his team looks like shit. 553 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: If Tua is not able to come back this year, 554 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: Miami is liable to lose every single game they play, 555 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: and that includes any game they play against the Patriots. 556 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: Because Mike McDaniel, who some genius one, he wasn't winning 557 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: big games when he had Tua. They started nine to 558 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: three last year because they played great in the sun. 559 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: The moment it gets cold, they imploded, and now they're 560 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: imploding again. And I didn't like him as a playoff 561 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: team this year with Tua looked pretty on point before 562 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: Tua got concussed again. Obviously, there can't be a soul 563 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: that likes him now when they're rolling out random quarterbacks 564 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: name Skyler Thompson and Tim Boyle underrated. I said this 565 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: before the draft, partly because I was just hearing this 566 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: around the NFL is there were countless teams in the NFL, 567 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: and most of them had no access to either of 568 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: these two players, so it didn't necessarily matter. But you 569 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: still rank your draft board that had Malik Neighbors over 570 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison. Now it's not a criticism of Marvin Harrison. 571 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: Just like there were teams with Julio Jones and AJ Green, 572 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: you got to rank the two of them like you 573 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: can't have both guys number one. I do think Malik 574 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: Neighbors has a chance to be a superstar. I mean today, 575 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: his touchdown in the corner of the end zone where 576 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: he drags his feet, his athleticism, his explosiveness, his ability 577 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: to jump the dude is a freak show. And these 578 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: last two weeks, holy shit. Hold on to your ass. 579 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: Who knows how it's going to go throughout the season. Ultimately, 580 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: as quarterbacks, Daniel Jones and at any moment can throw 581 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: three interceptions and have two fumbles in a game. But 582 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: if Dander Jones just solid and can get that young 583 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: kid the ball, hold on to your ass if you're 584 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: a defense. I had the volume on for a minute 585 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: of that game today, the Giants and the Browns, and 586 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: the one thing the broadcast kept saying is Jim Schwartz 587 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: told us in the meetings, this guy's got a chance 588 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: to be special. And I don't think he's just saying 589 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: that he knows you see him on tape like this 590 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: guy is a baller overrated when things are easy, solid players, 591 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: like when your defense and your running game is kicking ass. 592 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: It can make kind of a mid level quarterback look 593 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: like a star if he has to throw for less 594 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: than fifteen passing attempts and half of them are just 595 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: kind of layups. Today, in a huge spot, down three 596 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: points against a team that's defense was playing awesome, Derek 597 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: Carr through one of the worst interceptions you'll see so 598 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: far through through three weeks. You don't need a touchdown, 599 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: you don't need a huge explosive play there. The only 600 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: thing you cannot do is throw that pass. And Derek 601 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 1: has just had so many of these throughout his career 602 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: where it's like, what are you doing, man, what are 603 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: you doing? Throw the ball into the ground, take a sack. 604 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: You cannot make that pass, and everyone and listen. I 605 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: like Derek. I root for Derek and the Saints. Obviously, 606 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: I have some money on them to make the playoffs, 607 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: to win the division. That play cannot happen. And it's 608 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: plays like that that make me go my divisional BET's 609 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: going to be a little more difficult to hit than 610 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: I thought. Because not everything's gonna be as easy as 611 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: the first two weeks. You're gonna be in some of 612 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,959 Speaker 1: these tai games against high level defenses you cannot make. 613 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a bottom ten quarterback type decision. It's 614 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: just that's low level ball and embarrassing for a guy 615 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: that's been in the league a decade making the money 616 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: he's making to even just make that decision. It's just 617 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: it's I'm at a loss for words when the ball 618 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: left his hands because it was just so dumb. It 619 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: did not need to happen, and it's won rookie quarterbacks whatever. 620 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: A guy with that much experience just pissed me off. 621 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: I had the Saints as well underrated. Speaking of that game, 622 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley is a badass. And we can debate whether 623 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: you should take running backs high or not. When you 624 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,959 Speaker 1: do take them high, there better be no debate about 625 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: their ability. They may get hurt. Obviously, you come to 626 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: a line where how much are they worth? But if 627 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: you are gonna pull the trigger on a guy in 628 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: the top ten, especially at two overall, she'd be like, yeah, 629 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: this guy's a total package. See, it would be John 630 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 1: Robinson really high pick No. One debates freak show. Remember 631 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey was drafted eight. No debate freak show. Saquon 632 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: Barkley today, who has battled injuries and for the majority 633 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: of his career played on a shitty team, I mean 634 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: really bad. Two years ago they were solid, best year 635 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: that he ever had with the Giants. They won nine games, 636 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: and for most of that his offensive line was atrocious. 637 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: Now he has a good offensive line with weapons around him, 638 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: and you're seeing the dude shine. And to me, the 639 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: coolest part, like to be a great running back, the 640 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: last an unnecessary attribute, like you do not need this 641 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: to be a great running back. Breakaway high end speed, 642 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 1: you do not need it. There's been a small select 643 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: guys that have truly had it right Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson. 644 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: Saquon is one of those guys. When he gets in 645 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: the open field, he looks like a Ferrari And today 646 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: you saw that speed on basically the game winning touchdown, 647 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: which was the deciding factor in the game because the 648 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: Eagles were in major trouble. And Saquan said, remember that 649 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars guaranteed you gave me. Remember all 650 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 1: those dudes, guards and centers getting forty fifty million dollars 651 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: in free aging. I got twenty seven million dollars. And 652 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: every time so far this season we've left the field 653 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, you went, yeah, it 654 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: might be the best player on the field. How about 655 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: them apples? Overrated? The hype on Caleb Williams reminds me 656 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence. It's so strong and we've been hearing 657 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: it for so long that the expectations get out of whack. 658 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: You expect to turn on their games. This happened to Lawrence, 659 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: that here with Urban Meyer, and it's happening right now 660 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: with eber Flus and the Bears. Multiple touchdowns, just guys 661 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: slicing and dicing the defense. You turn on the game 662 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: and you go, is this guy good? That's the first 663 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: thing you think to yourself. Is this guy a good player? 664 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: It's crazy how off we are right now on the 665 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: hype of this player and what this player actually is 666 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: now the difference, even if he has a terrible season, 667 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: he has physical attributes that Bryce Young does not possess. 668 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 1: Arm strength, his body type, his athleticism. So I don't 669 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: care how shitty this year ends up being just say 670 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: worst case scenario, it doesn't get better. A lot more 671 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 1: to work with there, but we all have to agree 672 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: the start of the season. We can blame whoever we want. 673 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: Virginia McCaskey, who's one hundred and seven years old, eber 674 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 1: Fleus with his haircut and his beard, Shane Waldrin, the 675 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, the shitty old line. There are plays independent 676 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: of all those people, all those variables that he is 677 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: not making, and honestly, they're not that close. Like when 678 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: a guy is open and no one's around you fifteen 679 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: twenty thirty yards down the field, when you are that 680 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: hyped up, when you're the number one pick and we've 681 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: seen you do it in college, people expect you to 682 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: make the pass and then it flies seven yards over 683 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,959 Speaker 1: the guy's head. We're all sitting on our couch going, 684 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: what the fuck is this? Like, we're all thinking it. 685 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: So I'm not acting like this guy's career is over. Obviously, 686 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna blame everyone else except him, but we have 687 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: to admit, so far, there's probably not a more overrated 688 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: player in the league, which is unfair because he had 689 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,479 Speaker 1: never even played in the league, But just based on hype, 690 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: it's not even close. Underrated. Colin and I talked about this, 691 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: talked about it last week. Lafleor, I mean everyone for 692 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: two years, like Mike McDaniel, Mike McDaniel, Mike McDaniel. It's like, yeah, guys, 693 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 1: we get it. Funny glasses, funny pants. I'll bet against 694 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: that guy every time in a big game. Yet. Lafleur, 695 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 1: who's been to the playoffs twice with Rogers, a game 696 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: with Jordan Love three times, won a playoff game last 697 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: year on the road with Jordan Love and had the 698 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: forty nine ers on the ropes. Just went back to 699 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: back games with Malik Willis. I love Kevin O'Connell. Seems 700 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: like a really impressive guy. I've never met him personally, obviously, 701 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: what he's doing with Sam Darnold speaks for itself. Been 702 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: in the playoffs one time at home and lost to 703 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: the Giants, pretty sure. Oh yeah, Daniel Jones was the 704 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: quarterback to beat him. So it's like, listen, love Kevin 705 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 1: O'Connell a lot. We'll see him win a big game 706 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: and then we can put him in that class with 707 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: some of these other guys. I've seen la Floor win 708 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: playoff games. I know he's lost a few two but 709 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: been there a lot. And now he's winning games with 710 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: Jordan Love who was a nobody thirty three touchdowns last 711 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: year playoff win on the road, almost won another playoff 712 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: game on the road. Now he's winning games with Malik 713 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: Willis on the road. I think we need to put 714 00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: a little respect on O Lafleur's name. Overrated college. Do 715 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: you know that the University of Michigan since Jim Harbaugh 716 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: became the coach back in twenty fourteen is six and 717 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: zero win Their quarterback passes for less than one hundred 718 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: yards in a day and age. When we love the pass, 719 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: and trust me, I love the pass. You love the 720 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: past passes fun Michigan because of their style and how 721 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: they dominated on defense and how well they run the ball. 722 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: We saw them do it last year when they basically 723 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,720 Speaker 1: refused to pass an entire half against the top fifteen 724 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: team in Penn State and won the game. And they 725 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: beat USC or their quarterback I'm pretty sure through for 726 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: like thirty five yards and they did not have a 727 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,760 Speaker 1: passing It didn't exist. They had to go ninety yards 728 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: to win the game and they couldn't pass, and they 729 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: did it. So listen I'm not trying to anoint Michigan. 730 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 1: You're obviously not gonna beat Ohio State. I don't even 731 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: think it could beat Penn State by not passing the ball. 732 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: But that was an impressive win. And again six and 733 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: zero in the Harbaugh era, which counts sheron more right 734 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: now when they've passed for under one hundred yards. Last 735 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: but not least underrated. I was mainly listening to the 736 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: forty nine ers RAMS broadcast with Sanchez and Krugler, Kugler, Krugler, 737 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: whoever the playboy play guy is, He's good, Sanchez gonna 738 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 1: be a little goofy, but he's fine. But I would 739 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: go back and forth because I was like, I just 740 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: want to hear tom Brady and I saw last week. 741 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: I didn't listen to the Tom Brady game last week, 742 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: and I heard he's he improved a lot. And I'm 743 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: not just trying to shit on Tom Brady to do this, 744 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: Like I'm a Tom Brady fan, have been for twenty 745 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 1: plus years. Myer everything, he stands for, wark ethic playing, 746 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I do view my broadcasters as entertainment. Collinsworth, 747 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 1: he's an entertainer. Gruden went from zero to one hundred 748 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,839 Speaker 1: and fifty subscribers on YouTube. Why he's entertaining. He knows 749 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: how to play the game, that's all this is. And 750 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: I listen to probably I don't know a decent chunk 751 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: today of Brady. Obviously he sounds better than week one 752 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: because he's not pausing all the time, but I don't 753 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: really know what he's bringing to the table. Right Besides, 754 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: I'm Tom Brady because he's not super entertaining. He's not 755 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 1: like mister goofy Romo. He's not some huge personality behind 756 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: the mic like Collinsworth or Gruden was, And it's just 757 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,280 Speaker 1: like nerdy football. That's not really what people are looking 758 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: for in these broadcasts. I'm just coming to hang. I'm 759 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: coming to hang with Tom freaking Brady for three hours. 760 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 2: Kick it. 761 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: Let's just watch some ball, you throw some stories out, 762 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: let me hear some stuff, and listen. I'll be the 763 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: first to admit obviously trying anything at that level three 764 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: games in, I'm not expecting him to be a finished product. 765 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to map this out where it's 766 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: gonna go. And I go like, what's gonna be his thing? 767 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: Because I don't think we're getting ever collins Worth or 768 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 1: Gruden kind of the fun, crazy, goofy guy. Obviously Madden 769 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: was the best at that, and his personality isn't really 770 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: romo and he's not ever gonna be like Akman asshole 771 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: blasting people, which is my personal favorite. I don't know, 772 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: I just I don't really see it. Now. I understand 773 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: from a value standpoint, having Tom part of your company advertisers, 774 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm not one of these moronic media people that just 775 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: hate everything business like you're not worth that, like he 776 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: might be. We're double that to them. But I'm just 777 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: talking about from an entertainment standpoint. Sitting there watching the game, 778 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: it pains me to say this. I just think he's 779 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: pretty bad. He's pretty bad. Just meh, there's just nothing there. 780 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 1: If it wasn't Tom Brady and just former player X, 781 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 1: you wouldn't even note it. You'd be like nothing would 782 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: stand out, which again a little like Caleb. The hype. 783 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,479 Speaker 1: He's got his own commercial, not for like Tom all 784 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 1: State or Dell Computers or Samsung TVs. They literally made 785 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: him a commercial about him becoming a broadcaster. So the hype, 786 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: like Caleb, like Trevor Lawrence, just it couldn't be any 787 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: higher and you're watching you go, let's be real, I 788 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: don't know again. Pains me to say this kind of sucks. 789 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 1: The volume
