Speaker 1: before we dive into some of the games, uh, and

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: my thoughts on the games, and because listen, this weekend

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: is fantastic. One thing we saw last week, no matter

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: how big the spread is, you gotta stay locked and loaded.

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the Dolphins were thirteen point underdogs and that

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: game was riveting. So I and I I wasn't that excited.

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: And the game's happened. The Ravens game with the Bengals,

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley, you just this playoffs man, Crazy things happen.

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: We will dive into those at the end of the show.

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: But I wanted to dive in on two things. Coaching,

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: some of the buzz with all the guys moving places,

60
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Sean Payton stuff and Aaron Rodgers. Will start with coaching

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: bus and I one of my mottos on this show.

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: I don't view myself as a teacher, but I am

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: such a big believer on this because I think so

64
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: many people resent money, don't understand money. A lot of

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: people that I don't consider myself in the media. This

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: is an entertainment product. I have two goals. Try to

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: entertain you and make money. Uh. You know, I didn't

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: go to big j journalism school. This is I am not.

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: This is just opinions. I don't like. I'm not searching

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: for the truth. I'm just here to entertain you guys.

71
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully I do a good job. But I think a

72
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of people in the media really resent business, and

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people struggle with it because

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: money is all relative. Money is all relative. Listen, Whenever

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: you first start out as a professional, you're probably not

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: making much and you do whatever you have to do

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: to survive in terms of eating where you staying. And

78
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: then you get older, mid thirties, late thirties, forties, you

79
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: get married, you have a kid, You can't even imagine

80
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: living where you live. Why you have more money. If

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: you are doing well and your income keep doubles or triples,

82
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: you probably don't eat at the same restaurant you ate

83
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: at years ago, right, I used to eat now as guys,

84
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, we utill always have a soft spot for

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: fast food. But I'm just saying, if you're going on

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: a day with your wife, it might be a little

87
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: different than if you dated or when you guys were

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: both twenty two. If you're now forty and you're having

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: some success, it's no different. Business. When you start a

90
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: business or the infancy of a business and you're not

91
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: funded by big vcs, you're probably pretty tight with decisions

92
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: when investing in stuff, When buying stuff, like you don't

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: just waste money. Why because money matters the bigger you get.

94
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: And you hell, you saw some of these tech companies

95
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: over the last decades. You start on around some cash,

96
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: you don't view it the same. It's no different in

97
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: the NFL. Once upon a time, the NFL was not

98
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: some bohemoth cash cow. I was watching Major League the

99
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: other day with Charlie Sheen, you know, Wesley Snipes and

100
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: back in like when I was really really young, you know,

101
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: when I was born in the eighties. I think if

102
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: you ever and listen, I didn't like live it, but

103
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I've read about it. Pro sports was not making the

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: money that it is now. Well, why is that the case?

105
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Because television rights were nowhere near the cash improfitable, you know,

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: amounts of money that they're giving the leaks and obviously

107
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: with corporate sponsorships with sweets, the business model for pro

108
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: sports has dramatically changed. And in the NFL, where they're

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: making more money than they ever dreamed of making, that

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: they get at minimum if you don't make a penny

111
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: anywhere outside your building, which is basically impossible. All most

112
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: of these teams from suites to you name it, surrounding

113
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: the team generating revenue that they do to three million dollars.

114
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Some of these teams do five million dollars separate from

115
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the money the league gives them and the league. The

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: money the league gives them is three hundred million dollars. Well,

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: the salary cap is two hundred million dollars, and obviously

118
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: the payment to players is unlike most of your employees,

119
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: right like even the team president, what does he make

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: a couple of million dollars? Max, You don't have a

121
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: lot of seven figure employees besides non coaches in your building,

122
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: and a lot of them anyone that's listening to this,

123
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: that's worked in ticket sales or anything. They ain't making

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: much money. They have to generate money to earn the money.

125
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: So the amount of money these teams make to pay

126
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: coaching staffs, it's a line item. So when I see

127
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: that Sean Payton, one of the stories to day, wants

128
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, if I would have told an owner

129
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: of that thirty years ago, twenty years ago, maybe their

130
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: jaw hits the floor. Because I remember when Mike Holmgren.

131
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: I remember reading an article Mike Holmgren when he left

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: Green Bay and he I can't remember, he got traded

133
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: or they let him out of his contract and he

134
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: went to Seattle financially and he signed a big deal.

135
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: He's making four million dollars a year, which was enormous cash,

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: even though John Madden, who was calling the games, was

137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: making double that. There's a lot of money at the time.

138
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Now four million dollars, like that's Zach Taylor Brandon sale money.

139
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor got an extension I think last year. But

140
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's the lowest level of

141
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: an NFL coach, and I honestly think the lowest paid

142
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: NFL coaches probably closer to five million than four. I

143
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: think it's over five. The majority of coaches now making

144
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: seven to nine, and then the top guys make twelve

145
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: to fifteen. Maybe Belichick, because he's been there so long,

146
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: makes twenty right, But when you really think about it,

147
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: paying uh NFL coach twenty million dollars, what's Kyle Shanahan

148
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: worked to the Yorks? He has won uh three playoff

149
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: games in twelve months. He has been to several conference championships.

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Before he got there, the team was a disaster. Everyone

151
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: in the area talk shit about him. Now three of

152
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: the last four years, they're just rattling off playoff victories.

153
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: He's easily worth forty million dollars. If Jed York paid

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: him forty million dollars, he would not lose a penny

155
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: the money he's making back with them having success. Now,

156
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: you get paid what the market bears, and there's no

157
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: one else willing to pay forty But my point is that,

158
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: so Sean Payton, let's just say he wants twenty five

159
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. That's what he's telling people. Most

160
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: people are owners. Can't do that. You can't What is

161
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: winning worth to you, because when you win in the league,

162
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: your franchise prints money, you're already guaranteed the ability to

163
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: pay this coach. It's not like the late eighties where

164
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: I had to fill up my stadium. I had to

165
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: get every ounce out of my corporate dollars and I

166
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: had to have you know, I had to win. How

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: you don't even need to win now to make money

168
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So when I see that he wants

169
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: a lot of money, I go, He's worth every penny

170
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: if he guarantees you winning. And when you look at

171
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: his Saints history, he guarantees you get Sean Payton. Hell

172
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: you go. Well, he had Drew Brees. Well, I saw

173
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: one year without Drew Breese. He went nine and eight

174
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: with four fucking different quarterbacks. One name was in book

175
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: the guys he was playing at quarterback the year after

176
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Drew Brees retired. Most coaches, if I gave Patricia Joe

177
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Judge just your average coach around the NFL, Pat Shermer's,

178
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, I mean, you name it. I don't think

179
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: they win five games. Dennis Allen. If I gave Dennis

180
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Allen last year's New Orleans Saints team, I think they

181
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: struggle to win five or six games. So Sean Payton

182
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: immediately like I, I just never understand these numbers, Like

183
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: because Dean Spanos, I had someone and I listen. I

184
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: don't bring a lot of like people talking shit about

185
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: me on social media whatever, Like I have learned none

186
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: of it matters. I think Twitter or Instagram, it's all

187
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: fake world, right, because the conversations that we have in reality,

188
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: in real life, when you're sitting down with friends with

189
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: business partners, never quite sound like the conversations that are

190
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: happening on the internet. So when someone comes after me

191
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: and whatever, it's like, I don't even care out Sometimes

192
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: I interact on boards, sitting on the couch, whatever, but

193
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't actually think it's real life and this guy,

194
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: But I think in general, you can say this about

195
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: anyone who has he gives their opinion for a living.

196
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: That's what I do. I give my opinion for a living.

197
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: I observe and then I give my opinion. Doesn't mean

198
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: I'm right or wrong. I'm just giving you my opinion

199
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: in an entertainments, uh fashion, and we monetize it. That's

200
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: the business I'm in. He's like, you're just the hater

201
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: of Brandon Staley. I'm not a hater of Brandon Saley.

202
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's a good head coach. And honestly,

203
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: when I say he's a fraud coach, I don't think

204
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: he's a fraud like doesn't understand football. I think he

205
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: understands coverages the defensive scheme like I think his intellectual

206
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: capacity when it comes to football it is probably pretty good.

207
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I think when I watch him talk, he speaks like

208
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: a politician. I see a fake guy in a league

209
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: that demands real. What do players always say that they

210
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: sniff out when you're not being real with him. That's

211
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: why Andy Reid, who had a front row seed on

212
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: is just every single person that played for Andy Reid

213
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: would tell you he just tells it like it is,

214
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,359
Speaker 1: and he's not. He doesn't try to be a politician.

215
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: He's just being himself. Now, maybe Brandon Staley is like

216
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: fake phony. That's his natural, you know, inclination to act

217
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know. I've heard people that work

218
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: with him, and I've heard other shows say this. I

219
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: had heard the same thing. Kind of a know it all,

220
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: which is kind of weird. He's only been the league

221
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, six seven years, not like he's a twenty

222
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: five year lifer. He had been working at a small

223
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: school before he got to the NFL. And list I've

224
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: worked in college football. Just because you work at a

225
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: smaller school does not mean you're not a fantastic coach.

226
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: My point is to be a know it all in

227
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. Bill Belichick's and know it all in the NFL.

228
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: And even he gets things wrong, He's worked in the

229
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: NFL for fifty years. Andy Reid, Pete Carroll these, he's

230
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: gonna have been working in the NFL since the early nineties,

231
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: late eighties. Like your your point of reference is just

232
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: dramatically different than a guy that came in when the

233
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: All Pro team included like Khalil Mack and J. J. Watt,

234
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Like do you remember Troy Hickman and Larry Allen? Like

235
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: if you coached against guys like that, your perspective is

236
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: just dramatically different. And I think when you see that

237
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Dean Spanos is firing all these coaches. And when I

238
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: say Dean Spanos, because clearly he tells Brandon Sailing, you

239
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: gotta fire a bunch of coaches. And I always find

240
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: it funny that this guy was good enough when he

241
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: hired him throughout the season and then the moment the

242
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: season ended, their village idiots, Which of course he's gonna

243
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: say that because he wants to keep his job, and

244
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: his job in theory is fantastic. He's got you know,

245
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert as his quarterback, and you know he's gonna

246
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: be competitive because they do have a lot of talent

247
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: untiless goes pretty good GM. But he fires the offensive

248
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: coordinators because they don't want to fire brand Siey. And

249
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: I think it's so shortsighted, right, this notion that because

250
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: one of the things that not even that I've heard,

251
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: it's clear the owner is cheap. And because he's cheap,

252
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: knowing that Sean Payton costs twenty million dollars and he

253
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: might have to give up Pick twenty one to acquire him,

254
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: he wants no part of that. So he'll roll it

255
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: back with Brandon Staley. Imagine that the most you could

256
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: argue the most horton person in your building is not

257
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: actually the quarterback, because the majority of quarterbacks are not

258
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: going to be like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. The

259
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: transcend coaches the typically the most like the most important

260
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: guy with the Chiefs is Andy. Obviously, Patrick Mahomes has

261
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: elevated to his equal or maybe above him. But as

262
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes a out Andy Reid and the

263
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Canci Chief's probably not, honestly, he'd probably tell you that

264
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: look at Josh Allen, that Josh Allen one year without

265
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: Brian da ball doesn't quite look the same. Still an

266
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: awesome player, but it's just not quite the same. So

267
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: this notion that I'm being cheap when money is not

268
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: an issue, I would understand. It's like John disfranchise. They

269
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: just don't generate, like the reason Tampa Bay or the

270
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: Oakland A's. I always hear this with Oakland A's fans,

271
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: like our owner has a bunch of money. Yeah he does,

272
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: but your business doesn't. Your business doesn't generate any money.

273
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Nobody watches and no one attends. So it's like, yeah,

274
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: he could put his own money into it, and then

275
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: he would lose it. So the business has to have

276
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: generated and spanous while he inherited all his wealth. And

277
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: nothing drives me more up a wall than people that

278
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: like if you make your own money from like they

279
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: always say, like Michael Jordan's cheap. Tiger Woods is cheap,

280
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: guess what. And I'm sure there are several like Tim

281
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Cook or I don't know if they're cheap, but I'm

282
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: just saying they're probably super successful CEOs, billionaire heads fund

283
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: guys who are also cheap. If you make your own money,

284
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: you can do whatever the funk you want with it.

285
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Now we can judge you about it, but it's your decision.

286
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: You made that money. Michael Jordan's Tiger Woods like they've

287
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: generated at all. If they want to be cheap, that's

288
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: their prerogative. To me, I judge you when you inherit

289
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: your money and you're still cheap, like, I just think

290
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: you're kind of a loser, Like you're kind of dumb

291
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: because it's not like you generated that thing. You just

292
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: had your dad or your grandpa handed to you. And

293
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: then you're still gonna be cheap, especially when it comes

294
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: to the most important person in that organization, which is

295
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: the head coach, and they refuse to pay any money

296
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: for that head coach. You can fire, uh Lombardi, you

297
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: can fire the quarterback coach, Like, give me a fucking break,

298
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: who's taking that job? Honestly, who's taking that Because it

299
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: could potentially be one and done if you go ten

300
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: wins again. Are bouncing in the first round to see you,

301
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: and we all know, like we're never getting fooled again.

302
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: We're all picking the Chiefs next year to win the

303
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: a f C West. Why because the Chiefs win the

304
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: f C West every single year. And you would say,

305
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: just it'll be hard for the Raiders and the Broncos

306
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: to be as shitty as they were this year. So

307
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: when you look at the Chargers like you had a

308
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: pretty good opportunity. The Raiders built that that thing was

309
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: a bumpy road that led a disaster. The Broncos building

310
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: was on fire the entire year. It's gonna be hard

311
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: for those two teams to be as dysfunctional as they were.

312
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Maybe the Raiders, I mean, the Raiders stay pretty as functional,

313
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: But you would say the Broncos, maybe they just pay

314
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: for a coach. Who knows, maybe they'd buy Payton. You

315
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: had the opportunity because Sean Payton taking your job, but

316
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: you love keeping that extra money in your pocket. Shame

317
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: on you, Dean Spanos, Shame on you Chargers because that's

318
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: that's embarrassing. Honestly, I mean, you have a probably a

319
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: pretty good coordinator, and that's what he is, a coordinate

320
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong. You know, the best part about

321
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: being a number two in the NFL get paid a premium.

322
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Vick fan Joe is currently asking for five to six

323
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: million dollars, and you know what, probably worth every penny

324
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: and most a guy like Brandon Staley as a defensive

325
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: coordinator probably making two or three. It's a great life.

326
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: How many besides, like Apple and Facebook and some of

327
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: the biggest companies in the world. Hey, their number two,

328
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: number two, two and a half to three million dollars

329
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: more more, because so many head coaches now are offensive coordinators.

330
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: More defensive coordinators now make more money than guys that

331
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: are pure offensive coordinators, right like Ben Johnson, for example,

332
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: who just got retained with the Lions, probably is one

333
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: of the now the highest paid offensive coordinators in the league,

334
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: but he is a true offensive coordinator, right. Obviously, Kyle

335
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: Shanahan's and the Andy Reid's and Sean mcveighs like they're

336
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: also the head coach, so they're making a ton of money,

337
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: but they call the plays. So these like Sean McDermott.

338
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, Brian Dable was making a lot of money.

339
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: And think about that the Chargers. A couple of years ago,

340
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: t LESCo went to college with Brian Dable had the

341
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: chance of Hireman didn't and they went to Brandon Staley.

342
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: Now it's not necessarily to Lesco's call, I mean, it's

343
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: the ownerships. But the Chargers, they're just so small minded.

344
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: It is really crazy for this organization that historically in

345
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: my life has had a ton of good players and

346
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: now back to back to back really good quarterbacks. But

347
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: they're just they just go cheap on the coach, and

348
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: you go cheap on the coach, you deserve what's coming.

349
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: Some other stuff today. Some firings that happened. Uh, probably

350
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: two of the bigger name firings are Greg Roman fired

351
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: from the Baltimore Ravens. And you know this is the

352
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: Hardbob brothers have both had him and it both ended

353
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: pretty ugly. Now, who knows how this would end it

354
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: if Lamar could have stayed healthy, but clearly the passing

355
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: game was not working. Uh, I don't know they had

356
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: much talent on the offensive weaponry. Obviously their first round

357
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: pick gets injured. But Greg Roman now has had who

358
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: stints with both Hardbob brothers and um, it just has

359
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: not ended. Well, uh, it really hasn't. The guy can

360
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: really scheme the quarterback running game. He could scheme the

361
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: running game just in general, but when it comes to

362
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: the modern day passing game, you would say that's not

363
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: Greg romans Forte. And maybe he would tell you, we'll

364
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: give me a real quarterback who can pass, and I'd say, well,

365
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had some moments and he said, well, yeah,

366
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't up intive coordinator when he won the m

367
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: v P, but um, now we'll be fascinating. I saw

368
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: Eric Tocasta, the GM said that, uh you know, he

369
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: looks forward to negotiating with Lamar. Maybe that's just you know,

370
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: playing possum. Maybe that's being truthful. Maybe that's just the

371
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: thing you have to say. But that's one of the

372
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: bigger stories in the NFL Byron Leftwich, and it shows

373
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: you why any quarterback or excuse me, any coach and listen,

374
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: I've been lucky enough to work with guys that become

375
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: head coaches. They always tell you in college and the

376
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: pro when you get offered head coaching jobs, if you

377
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: don't have, like Sean Payton, has options. Right when Andy

378
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Read got fired from the Eagles. He was gonna have options,

379
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh options, like certain coaches, small percentage of them,

380
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: have a ton of options. Most guys do not. And

381
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: when you get the opportunity, you have to jump at it.

382
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: And last year Byron left which got offered the Jacksonville

383
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: Jaguars head coaching job, but he didn't take it because

384
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: he did not want to work with Trent Balky And

385
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: let's listen, trump Ballky's resume got some red flags on it.

386
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: But Doug Peterson clear like I'll figure it out, I'll

387
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: do it. And look at him. He's in the second

388
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, he won the division, He's nine

389
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: and eight, and his just in one year. It went

390
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: from like, you know, Doug had an incredible round with

391
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but who knows anyone can hire him, to

392
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: now being like, maybe Doug's a real deal, Maybe Doug's

393
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: a big time program builder. Maybe Doug is a type

394
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: guy you'd want as your head coach. And who's the

395
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: coaching one of the better prospects we've seen in recent memory.

396
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: So you gotta strike when the iron is hot. I

397
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: don't always agree with that, and I tell coaches like

398
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I take that job and get

399
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: not that they were like, they're just bullshitting with me.

400
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: When when they're asking, like I'm gonna do this, I'm like,

401
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: I sometimes I don't even say anything' think in the

402
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: back of my head, like I wouldn't want that job.

403
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna get fired. Well, if if I have success here,

404
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm off like a rocket ship. And look at Byron Leftwich.

405
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: He's now fired. He's not gonna be an offensive coordinator anymore.

406
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to probably go back to being a

407
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: quarterback coach and then work his way back up. And

408
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. I think it's funny everyone destroyed

409
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. Like you know, Bruce Arians is messing with Tom,

410
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: He's messing with Byron. We have a long history of

411
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. He's successful when he runs an offense, they

412
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: score points and they're pretty good. You remove Bruce Arians

413
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: and you let Tom and Byron just kind of figure

414
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: it out on their own. We saw what happened. It

415
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty ugly. So good year for Bruce Arians.

416
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: Stock Uh. Two g ms were hired. Monty osan Fort

417
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I might be saying his name wrong. Bald guy rooting

418
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: for him. Came to Arizona. Don't as someone in the

419
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: NFL text me, like, listen, three or four million dollars

420
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: a year living Scottsdale. Pretty good gig, which I agree,

421
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: you know, that's a great place to live. Fucking love it.

422
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: I wish I would have moved here years before I did.

423
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: Tough job, though, really is because you're all in on

424
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Well, you're not actually all in on him,

425
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: but your contract is stuck with him, so that obviously

426
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: they're interviewing head coaches. I would guess, don't have any

427
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: inside information that he ends up hiring Brian Flores. Patriot

428
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: guy worked for the Patriots forever. Talk to some people

429
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: that worked around Uh Monty. Very impressive guy, high character,

430
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: low ego, good at his job, so people really like him.

431
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: He spent the majority of his career with the Patriots,

432
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: but also worked for the Texans and then worked for

433
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: the Titans. Uh people, talk to a guy that knows

434
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: him really well, loves him very well. Liked to me

435
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: your biggest hire, like we always gotta draft. Well, the

436
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: number one thing an NFL coach has to do or

437
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: excuse me, an NFL GM has to do is hire

438
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: the right coach? So his job right now all comes

439
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: down to that. Uh. It went from them hiring co

440
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: coordinating GMS and keeping Vans Joseph to actually, we'll just

441
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: go with this guy, and then the Titans higher ran Carthon.

442
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: He played in the NFL for a little bit as

443
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: a running back, was on some of those Payton manning

444
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: teams from Florida. He's from Florida. But then played with

445
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: him with the Colts. Uh, like the mid two thousands,

446
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: talked to a guy today they worked with him with

447
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: about forty loves him, great leader, impressive guy. Uh, just

448
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of has some ship to him in terms of

449
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: when he walks in the room, he's got a presence

450
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: to him. To me, the only question with this job

451
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: are you just tasked with doing all the legwork and

452
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: then you then Vrabel picking the players? Or is Vrabel

453
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna work with you? Then the elephant in the room

454
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: is does he like Trey Lance? Could Trey Lance? He

455
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: had this offseason with the Titans trade like a second

456
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: round pick for Trey Lance and with the Niners think

457
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: about doing it because I probably would. Now I don't know.

458
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've talked to Rand a couple of

459
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: times briefly through d MS over the years. Uh, he's

460
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: been with the Niners for a long time, so he's

461
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: had a front row seat of building playoff teams. The

462
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: type players like him and Vrabel probably see eye to

463
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: eye on the type guys they're looking for. I don't

464
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: know if he's if he was one of the guys

465
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: pound the table for Trey, if he wasn't all in

466
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: on tray, but that's something to keep an eye on.

467
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: The steel keep Matt Canada. I would imagine Steeler fans

468
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: aren't super happy though, can he. Pickett really started coming

469
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: on at the end. And one thing the Steelers I

470
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: would say, historically do pretty well is like cohesion in chemistry,

471
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: Like Mike Tomlin knows that. I don't think they just

472
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: randomly kept this guy. Um. Other than that, I mean,

473
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys interviewing for jobs pretty fluid.

474
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: I don't think Jeff Saturday officially interviewed for the Colts.

475
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: I still think he's got a very very good chance

476
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: of getting that gig, which is crazy as toy if

510
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: the games, one thing I watched some Aaron Rodgers interview.

511
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: One last thing I saw Elijah Moore uh the LA Floor.

512
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: I always getting mixed up. Matt Lafleur is the Packers,

513
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: Michae la Fleur was the guy fired with the Jets.

514
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: I actually played golf yesterday with a couple of guys

515
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: from Long Island, um and they were telling me, like,

516
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, piste off about a big Jets fans, piste

517
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: off about Zack Wilson sucking and Robert Solo and the floor.

518
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: And I get it because you're like, God, our team

519
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: is pretty good. Why can't we never figure this out?

520
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: And I saw the Athletic wrote a story that Elijah More,

521
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: the wide receiver who was draft a couple of years

522
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: ago in the second round. From what I've heard, high

523
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: character guy, people love them. Told Matt Lafleur after a

524
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Week six game, after he didn't get any targets, go

525
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: fuck yourself and you suck. And I've always had this thought.

526
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: And you know, in football, it's a lot like the military.

527
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: Whoever is your superior, you just you just answer to them, right.

528
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: A lot of people in high school, college and the

529
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: pros at position coaches and coordinators answered ahead like most

530
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: head coaches are not like Pete Carroll or Andy Reid.

531
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: There are a lot of head coaches that don't really

532
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. But when the guy's a head

533
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: coach or you're a position coach, your coordinator, A lot

534
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: of coordinators on what they're doing when he tells you

535
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: do something, you do it. There's a hierarchy to it,

536
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: and it's the way of the business. Right where in

537
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: business I've always like, I remember working in radio and

538
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: I had the ball. I had this boss my last

539
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: like a year before I got out of radio and

540
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: went in the podcast. I'm glad I did dumbest guy

541
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: I've ever been around. And it's like we were a corporation,

542
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: so he was just middle management. It's not like it

543
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: was his money, and it's not like I thought his

544
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: ideas were any good. Now I'm all for given some

545
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: respect at first, but eventually, like you gotta prove you

546
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: can do something. So I'm not saying I'm Monalijah Moore

547
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: side here, but I'm also like, why do you just

548
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: have to give superiors respect if you own the business,

549
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: Like I'm in business here with Coward. No, obviously I

550
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: like Coward. I respect the hell out of him, but

551
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: like he creates the cash. It's flowing this whole thing

552
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: without him, This does not exist. But in a lot

553
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: of our businesses, and you know a lot of people

554
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: you're listening, You work for people that they ain't signing

555
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: the fucking check. This is not their money, and I

556
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: just have to answer to you why because you have

557
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: some title. I think you're an idiot. So I'm defending

558
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore here from the sense of I think a

559
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: lot of players want to go It's one thing to

560
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: snap on a guy that knows what he's doing. Maybe

561
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: the floor is no clue, maybe the floor has no

562
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: business being a coordinated And I just think it's always

563
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: funny that you just just because the guy's a boss,

564
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: like if he's if he owns the company for sure,

565
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: whether I agree or not, like I gotta answer to him.

566
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: But if you're just middle management, it ain't your cash,

567
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: You're an idiot. You just got it because your buddies

568
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: with some other middle manager that recommended you. In the

569
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: whole you know, corporate, you know hierarchy, were half the

570
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: people in the corporation don't even know who you are.

571
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: I've always struggled with that one. Probably why I was

572
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: meant to just kind of go into the world. I've

573
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: gone into Aaron Rodgers, he told Pat McAfee, which I

574
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: do understand this statement from an older player, like I'm

575
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: not in the rebuilds. I want no part of a rebuild.

576
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm into reloading and that sounds great. And I think

577
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people you know in sports say that

578
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: and it's, uh, it's cliche, but it's true. Like if

579
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: you're Tom Brady didn't want and if he stays in

580
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: the league, which I listen, I'm I'm just retired. Man.

581
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I love you. I think you're one of the great

582
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: athletes I've ever witnessed. Anyone my age that's watched all

583
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: your major games. It was an honor to not just

584
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: watch you compete, but when and kick the ship out

585
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: of people in the biggest moments. It was sweet. Man.

586
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: Just go live, go hang out with your kids, enjoy

587
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: your life, getting the business world, play some golf, Like

588
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a diving at the ground

589
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: when the pass rush is coming at you anymore. That's

590
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: it's not fun to watch. But Tom when he went

591
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: to Tampa, like they clearly they had a coach who

592
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: had success in Arizona, they had a bunch of good players,

593
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: like it was a kind of a quick flip. And

594
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: he did and they won the Super Bowl and the

595
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: next year they won the division again. They host a

596
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: playoff game Aaron Rodgers last year. All season long, it

597
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: was like him and Goudakins, Him and Gudakins, they don't

598
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: see eyed. Then they kind of figure it out and

599
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: they get on the same page, and they have the

600
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: devastating loss of the forty Niners, which I thought they

601
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: were super Bowl team. I thought I picked him to

602
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl at the beginning of that plass.

603
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: It was devastating. It was devastating. That loss last year

604
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: was more devastating the Lions this year because ultimately the

605
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: Packers this year weren't that good. That that Packer team,

606
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: you can't lose that forty Niner team. That cannot happen.

607
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: That that was their worst loss of the LA Floor era.

608
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: I think any Packer fan listening will have to agree.

609
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: It's one thing to lose Tom Brady in the NFC

610
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: Championship game. It's one thing when your team's pretty average

611
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: to lose to Allions team, which actually is pretty talented.

612
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: It's another thing to lose to fucking Jimmy Garoppolo, who injured,

613
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: who can't score a touchdown because your your offense, which

614
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: has dominated all season, scores one touchdown that that can't happen.

615
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: But he chose and it's not like when he resigned

616
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: with the Packers. He's like DeVante's back now. He knew

617
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: Davante was leaving, and he still chose to take the

618
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars. And I have a life philosophy again.

619
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: I celebrate people taking money. I am his pro capitalism.

620
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: Is anyone you're gonna hear that talks about sports for

621
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: a living. I love the business community. I'm all for

622
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: taking cash. But I've always believed that, like, once you

623
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: get to a certain level of money, you have to

624
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: think about, like is this the right decision? Right Aaron

625
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: Riders had more money than he ever needed going into

626
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: that contract. So when he signed this contract, which everyone

627
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: in the league would have given him a ton of money,

628
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: was is that where he wanted to stay because he

629
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: wanted his legacy to be there, because he thought he

630
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: could still win, or it was like it was the

631
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: easy thing to do, take the most guaranteed money, hundred

632
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: fifty cash, and then figure it out. Because if if

633
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: that was your mindset, just give me the most money

634
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: right now and then we'll figure it out. I don't

635
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: have sympathy for you because you had options, and you

636
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: would push for your options, and rightfully so, and then

637
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: you decided to take this huge bag of cash, which

638
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: is you're right, but you don't get to complain about

639
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: it a year later, especially when you know your right

640
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: hand guy, who's probably one of the I think Aaron

641
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers been on record he's the best player you've ever

642
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: played with, is not just demanding a trade, but they're

643
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna trade him. So the moment you do that, like

644
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: you sign up for this ship that is now the

645
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, and then because of all the way

646
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: that this is not the n b A right, you

647
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: your your contract. Because the way guaranteed money works like

648
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: it impacts a salary cap, you're not easy to trade.

649
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: It just becomes very, very complicated. And I do wonder

650
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: if he knows what he knew now even though a

651
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of us thought this the moment Davante was traded,

652
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: like Aaron, now is your time to get out, and

653
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: he didn't do it. And I just refused to feel

654
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: any sympathy for a guy that took all this cash

655
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: and now kind of complains like rebuild, reload. He says

656
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: he can still win m v P, and I probably

657
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: agree with him, like if you put them on like

658
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, or you put them on ship with

659
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: like DK Metcalf and some of these guys. Kenneth Walker,

660
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: he traded him some teams with you put him on

661
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Like, there are a lot of teams

662
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: with a lot of talent that I think he could

663
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of success. I think it's difficult in

664
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay, right, you got young players you're very dependent on.

665
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: He's talking about like do we sign Randall resigned Randall Cobb.

666
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: It's like, Aaron, you know, I'm all for keeping you

667
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: in the loop of who you want, but it's like,

668
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: we need talented players here. Uh my phone is just

669
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: blowing up here. So I I don't know. If you

670
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: ask me what I think Aaron Rodgers gonna do this offseason,

671
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: I I just I don't feel good about Like I

672
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna retire, but I think trading him

673
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: is probably a little more complicated than it feels. Let's

674
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: dive into some of the week's games and I'll just

675
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: go a f C in then NFC. I think the

676
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jacks. If I was in a business relationship with

677
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, I was his coach, I was as general manager,

678
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: worked in front office. I was the ownership. I would

679
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: be so ecstatic for these last three weeks. Because the

680
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Titans game was winner, get in. It didn't go that

681
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: well for Trevor. I thought he didn't even play that well,

682
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: but they won, and then in the first round of

683
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, he has I don't even think it's hyperbolic

684
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: to say this the worst half of his entire life.

685
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a guy and definitely since high school

686
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: and college, that's the worst half Trevor Lawrence has ever played.

687
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: And then he comes back and he shows the mental

688
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: fortitude like I'd be all in on him. I think

689
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: we got a guy that in a year or two

690
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: should be considered in the group of Burrow Alan and

691
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: obviously Mahomes. Maybe not be as good as Mahomes, but

692
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: like can be an excellent elite player. We also won,

693
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: like our super Bowl is kind of last year. That

694
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: comeback remarkable moment for the franchise. I think it's gonna

695
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: be really hard to keep the gas pedal down, especially

696
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: on the road in the cold. They've been fit in

697
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot and they deserved. I mean, the home game

698
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: in week eighteen, like that's just your home game and

699
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: obviously getting to host the Chargers even though they have

700
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: a better record than you because of the rules of

701
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, the way division winners get to host a

702
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: playoff game. But I I would expect it to end

703
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: and uh, I think I like the Chiefs enormous in

704
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: this game, and I think Kansas City to me, they're

705
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: the favorite to win it all. But I think in

706
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: the past they have been a little hit or missed

707
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: in this game. I think when you look at them

708
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: going into this game against the Jags, like this is

709
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: a moment where it's like, we ain't fucking around. Last year,

710
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: this were went away from going to our fifth straight

711
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: an FC championship game. Last year, we should have gone

712
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. In the second half was a disaster.

713
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes has been on a war path this year. He's

714
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: gonna win the m v P. He clearly just off

715
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: season the focus level. I remember Buddy on the staff

716
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: was like, I'm telling you, this, dude's on a different

717
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: level right now. They flipped Tyreek and their offense. While

718
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: it's not as explosive as it was last year, to

719
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: me watching when they're on, like they could score on

720
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: anyone at any moment, so I like the Chiefs big

721
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: in this game. I think the Jackson had a fantastic season.

722
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: If I was a Jacks fan, if I was on

723
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: the Jack's front office, worked in the Organs, I would

724
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: be so excited about where we're headed because we are

725
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: another good offseason at a running back, at a tight end,

726
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: keep improving the defense, and be like, we're gonna win

727
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: this division again. And I think most people, and I'm

728
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: depending on how the off season goes, probably including myself,

729
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: are gonna pick them to win the a f C

730
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: South next year. Build Bengals. Uh, here's the thing everyone's

731
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: talking about. How the Bengals don't have an offensive line

732
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: right but their left tackle dislocates his kneecap. Never had

733
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: that happened. Sounds very painful. They're missing several other offensive

734
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: linemen they were last week as well. It's hard to

735
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: overcome that Joe Burrow got sacked a ton last year,

736
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: and without their left tackle Jonah Williams, who's missed six snaps,

737
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: it's hard to replace that guy. But here's what I

738
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: do know. Last year their offensive line was horrendous and

739
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: the Jonan Williams gets cooed in that game. Right, he

740
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: has to leave and doesn't come back there four and

741
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: one in their last five playoff games, that includes a

742
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl where they easily could have won it. I

743
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: don't think it's inconceivable that we're talking about team has

744
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: won five straight playoff games and they were leading in

745
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl late in that game. So this team,

746
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: and specifically this quarterback, just knows how to win when

747
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: ships on the line, and it's really important, and he's

748
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: kind of gotta stay alive because guys get by his

749
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: offensive lignement. So most quarterbacks, like if you tell me

750
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: Brock Purty, like Trent Williams is out and they're missing

751
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: a guard like Brock party being some trouble. But Joe Burrow,

752
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: like he's used to keeping plays alive when guys can't

753
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: block people ahead of him. And Tie Higgins and Jamaar

754
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: Chase dominate. And here's the thing, this team, this game

755
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to happen. So these teams have a pretty

756
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: good feel for each other in terms of the game

757
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: planned all week and then they didn't use it. Now

758
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: you look at like, to me, didn't Joe Burrow throw

759
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown that wasn't the score seven or three? Do

760
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: I do I have that mix up before that game,

761
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: before the DeMar Hamblin situation happened. And listen when it

762
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: comes to the Bills and Josh Allen. I'm as big

763
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: at Josh Allen fan probably is anyone that's out a

764
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Bills fan. But he throws a lot of picks right now.

765
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: It's one thing like some of Das picks in fairness

766
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: are bouncing off guys, Josh Allens hitting guys in the hands,

767
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: like some of those Trevor Lawrence picks, hitting Sante Samuel

768
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: in the hands like Josh sometimes and the homes this

769
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: happened due last year, like dumped the ball off. And

770
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When you're in the front office and

771
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: you're in a window to win now and you go

772
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: all in on one specific older player, I understand why

773
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: von Miller the stretch that he had last year for

774
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: the Rams, all those sacks he had a sacond week

775
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: a teen, he had a sack in all the playoff

776
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: games and the Super Bowl. He was remarkable and he's

777
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: one of the great players of all time, but he

778
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: was also kind of old and he's been banged up before.

779
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: They paid him fifty plus million dollars in guarantees, and

780
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: if you told me he was in this game fully healthy,

781
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: I'd be like, you know, the pass rush for the

782
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: for the Bill is gonna be too much. We've hurt now, listen,

783
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: obviously it's a freak injury in a c l always

784
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: had multiple a cls in his career. And this is

785
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: when you go all in an older player and you're

786
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna be just a powerhouse team, Like it's gonna be

787
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: hard for that guy to be there in January. It

788
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: just is. And von Miller is not there. So I

789
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: do I'd lean the Bills to win this game, but

790
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: I talked about is stuck ya. I'm gonna take the

791
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: Bengals and the points for sure, and honestly, I might

792
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: sprinkle a little Bengals money line h NFC. I think

793
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: all the pressures on the Eagles, man, I think the

794
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: amount of pressure in this game that's on Sirianni, who's

795
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: probably gonna lose his offensive coordinator and who knows, maybe

796
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: his defensive coordinator, so they might have multiple new coordinators.

797
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: And never forget like this is in Sean mcviigh, Kyle Shanahan.

798
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: He does not call the plays anymore so their offensive coordinator,

799
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen. Uh that that'd be a big loss if

800
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: he gets a head coaching job. And here's the thing,

801
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: we won't know till the game happens, Like what's Jalen's

802
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: status here? How's he feeling? Because I read Syriana his

803
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: quotes and if you're an Eagles and you've been watching

804
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: these press conferences, it's all he's saying. He's good to go.

805
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: Finds like now, it's still something he's dealing with in lane.

806
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: As I'm recording this, lane, Johnson's limited in practice. Listen,

807
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. They're gonna shoot that bad boy up.

808
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: But we've seen guys before. You're you're dealing with such

809
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: a painful injury, Like is this one of those where

810
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 1: it's just like God, he can't really go and listen,

811
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: the Giants do not have the firepower that they just

812
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: don't some of these teams historically that have came out

813
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: of nowhere and then started rattling off playoff victories, the

814
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: Giants have done it a couple of times. Right with

815
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, they had higher end players, Like how many

816
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: high high end players through the Giants have Dexter Lawrence

817
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: like Cavon is not what O c and some of

818
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: those guys were in the peak of their powers when

819
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: they went on runs. He might be in a couple

820
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: of years, but he's not right now right, So I

821
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: just don't think they have enough. I just watched the

822
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Eagles Cowboy game from Christmas Eve. That listen if you

823
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: have NFL Plus, highly recommend just watch that connect that

824
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: game because you might have missed it Christmas Eve holida

825
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: A's hang with the family. That game was remarkable the Eagles.

826
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: If Jalen is just close to DeVante Smith, I didn't

827
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: quite realize what a year by that guy catches a

828
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: J Brown is. I don't know if we do a

829
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: good enough jobs, like oh, sure, he's not the best

830
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the NFL, Like you could make that

831
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: argument like DeVante him justin Jefferson, like Tyreek, he eat

832
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: right there, and DeVante in a weird way, he's flown

833
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: under the radar. So the Eagles have no business not

834
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: winning this game. To me, the only way the Giants

835
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: have a chance is obviously like turnovers an ugly just

836
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: it's like ten ten a half. Billy been to a

837
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: lot of games of the Link. If place just gets tight.

838
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: But the Eagles sometimes when they're feeling each other in

839
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: the one game. And I was reading this article on

840
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: the Athletic about Stike in his mentors North Turner, and

841
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: there were a lot of quotes in there from norv

842
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: and North was talking about the Giants game. How good

843
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: of a job Shane did. They just spread them out

844
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: just they got better athletes, they got more team speed,

845
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: and there's nothing the Giants can do. And you can't

846
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: put anything in that week a team game because they

847
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: were bentioning all the players. But when you look at

848
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, man that that thing was not Christmas Eve.

849
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: But the first time they played, I remember sitting on

850
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: my couch, I'm pretty excited for Giants Eagles, and then

851
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't because I changed the game by the second

852
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: quarter because it was an ass kick. And then last

853
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: but not least, the Niners Cowboys. This is um, this

854
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: is from my childhood, a coman verse young Now this

855
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: is a little different Purty verse stack, but uh, this

856
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: is a big moment for Kyle in Brock Purty. I mean,

857
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: Kyle won two playoff games last year on the road.

858
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: You won another playoff game, obviously, be Seattle is not

859
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: very good, but all of a sudden you're looking at

860
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: a guy that's got four playoff win wins and in

861
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: twelve months two with Jimmy Garoppolo who's banged up and

862
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: now brock Party was Mr irrelevant and obviously their team, Like,

863
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 1: the reason they were able to do this is because

864
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: their team is really really good. When you talk about

865
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: the Giants not having a lot of high end players

866
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: as the opposite for the forty Niners, they got high

867
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: end players literally every single unit, and I just think

868
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: they got too much firepower on offense. The other thing

869
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: I talked to Stucky about this the disadvantage of the time.

870
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: The Niners played Saturday afternoon, so the game ended at

871
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: the game kicked off at one thirty, was over by

872
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: four or forty five Pacific Standard time. Well then Sunday

873
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: and Monday, they got forty eight hours before the Monday

874
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: night game even kicked off, and then the game kicks

875
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: up by the time the Cowboys coaching staff got home. Now,

876
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine they had their quality control guy breaking

877
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: it down during Monday and probably even Sunday. But still,

878
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: like Mike McCarthy's probably not dive into that thing until

879
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: he gets on the plane. And you know, I don't

880
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: know how much adderall and coffee you can even take.

881
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: But the amount of time in the week, the amount

882
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: of time in the week, so that this team they

883
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: did not play each other this year, so it's not like,

884
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, they played each other in Week seven. I

885
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: just think it's a huge, huge disadvantage for Dallas. Now

886
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: here's what I will say watching that Eagle game, just

887
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: watching the Cowboys. Cowboys do have high end players, and

888
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: when Doc is on, people think I'm a Dack hitter.

889
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm not. I just don't love paying him forty million dollars.

890
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: To me, he's more thirty now that I get the

891
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: market pays that. But like Dac needs good talent around him.

892
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: Most quarterbacks do. But like Patrick Mahomes we saw this

893
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: year get rid of Tyreek kill m v P. Right,

894
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: like Dak, it is much more difficult for the most games,

895
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: like last game, the way he played now Tampa sucks,

896
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: but the way Dak was playing. When he's rolling like that,

897
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: he can be a top five player for a game,

898
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: but being a top five player for a season is

899
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: every single week. And that's where Dad can kind of

900
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a roller coaster, and I

901
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be harder against the forty Niners. Like

902
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: when DA's on the move, he is excellent, and that's

903
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: a huge separating factor between him and Cousins. He's athletic,

904
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: Cousins not because they get compared to each other all

905
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: the time. Harder to run around the Niners. Why they

906
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: have so much team speed. All their linebackers fly, Fred Warner,

907
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: green Law, I'll shire, all their defensive linemen can move

908
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: beside kind Law has gotta Di Gay or at Kneed.

909
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: But that's for another conversation Draft pick fourteen. The point

910
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: is it's gonna be harder for Dak to just be

911
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: flying around. We saw it last year. Now, I think

912
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboy team is better than last year's team.

913
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: So if if you told me they were on the

914
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: same amount of rest schedule, I'd be like, the Cowboys

915
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: can win. The Cowboys can win. I think it's very

916
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: very difficult. I really do. And if they do, I

917
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: would expect Dan Quinn to probably be the coordinator of

918
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: the weekend and just you know, get after Purdy because

919
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: the other one thing is Purty can move and Purdy

920
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: was running away from Seattle. Now Seattle. You know this

921
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: is not the legion of Boom and Cliff April and

922
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: some of those guys, Bruce Irvan and his prime. Even

923
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: though Bruce is actually on the team. Again, we're not

924
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: chasing him and they couldn't catch him. Well, Michael Parks

925
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be able to catch him, and Dan Quinn

926
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: will bring pressure. Uh, it's just gonna be like Mike,

927
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be able to run away from Michael Parson's.

928
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: But I'll give Pretty this, Like Pretty understands who can

929
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: run and who can't, so he has a pretty good

930
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: feel when a guy's chasing him, he'll throw the all

931
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: the way or he'll keep the play alive. To me,

932
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a huge, huge thing to watch, Like

933
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: can they get after Pretty? Does Pretty try to make

934
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,479
Speaker 1: plays out of his ask because he does sometimes and

935
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: he's mainly avoided disaster, But like does one of these

936
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: plays he tried to do with three sixty in the

937
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: pocket and run into Parsons all of a sudden, it's

938
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: a fumble six You tell me that type stuff is happening.

939
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have a chance, but this should be a

940
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: very very fun weekend of football back with my man Stucky,

941
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: who uh we were just talking and went two and

942
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: two last week. Well, he had the Chargers and the

943
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: one franchise in American sports, college or pro that you

944
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 1: definitely cannot turn the TV off when they're up twenty

945
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: seven and nothing. It would be the brand Staley. Honestly,

946
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: it could be any coach in the last decade led Chargers.

947
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: But we are to the divisional round now, which in

948
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: theory should be a bunch of just three point lines. Hey, maker,

949
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: games we have we don't have one field goal line

950
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: and we have ruled it are very very close to

951
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: ten points. So unique weekend, a lot of star power though,

952
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: uh Stucky. We were coming down the home stretch, right,

953
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: We got four games this week, we got two games

954
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: next week. Then we just have we don't have many

955
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: games left. We do not have many games left. Man. Yeah,

956
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: it's it's it's kind of bitter sweet. And I think

957
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: this because it is winding down, right, be at four

958
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: then with seven games left. But this is, for my money,

959
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 1: usually the best weekend on paper of the NFL season.

960
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do? It

961
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: was a tough weekend for me because my Ravens the

962
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: way that they lost. Um. But the night, what what

963
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: did you do when the ball flew in the air

964
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: and landed right in his bread basket? Drop? I mean

965
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: I was. I was at my away's bar and there

966
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: was surrounded by Bengals fans and I'm I'm chirping, it's

967
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: at night. I've been drinking all day and that happens.

968
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: Then everyone is like then in my face, and I'm like,

969
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, the way that this just happened.

970
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: But the Chargers, Yeah, I was like, I'm I'm brilliant.

971
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: I've let money line. I don't trust this team even

972
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: late two and a half. And then the jack's cut

973
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: at the two and I'm like, I got money line,

974
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: even though deep down inside I know that they're going

975
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: three and out, Jazz gonna get the ball back when

976
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: he got that two point and it went to you know,

977
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: from three to two, that is a kick and the

978
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: you know what? Yeah, I was like, this game is

979
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna end uh Charges by one? But yeah, yeah, I

980
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: only uh you know, seven games left, so let's let's

981
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: enjoy them and try to find a couple more winners.

982
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: This year. Okay, let's go Saturday Day. You know, I

983
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say the jack Super Bowl was

984
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: last week incredible moment. I mean, it's got to be

985
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: one of the greatest moments in the history of the

986
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: franchise that they haven't had many, but that was cool.

987
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Jacks fan, you're a Trevor

988
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: Lawrence fan, I do think, you know, I don't want

989
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 1: to say out of gas, but nine points a lot.

990
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs and sometimes the bye week can

991
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: be a little weird. Remember was it years ago? It

992
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: was weird for them. Remember they had that stretch where

993
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: they got like down in this round and down in

994
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: the second round and came storming back. I think the

995
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: way last year ended, the way they kind of retooled

996
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: their team, of all the teams in the NFL this

997
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: year that could handle a by and would just come

998
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: out laser focused. I mean, I expect the Chiefs too,

999
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, in a weird way, not be looking ahead

1000
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: because the Bills or the Bengals would be. You know,

1001
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: it's what's the whole season was about playing one of

1002
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: those two teams, right, and obviously the Bengals ruined their

1003
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: season last year both teams beat him this year. The

1004
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: Bills had that historic game against him last year, even

1005
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: though the Chiefs one. But I think they are going

1006
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: to come out swing and come out for blood, and

1007
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: I like the chief big in this game. Yeah, it's interesting.

1008
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: They were by US ten at home. They won by

1009
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: ten at home. I don't know, maybe two months ago

1010
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: against I think, yeah, and in that game the Jags

1011
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,919
Speaker 1: are covered and once I've kicked to start, they were.

1012
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: The Jags were three nothing in turnovers plus three turnover margin,

1013
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: by the way, the first game since and only the

1014
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: worth since where a team was three three to nothing

1015
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: are better in turnover margin and lost by double digits.

1016
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: So you know, they still lost by ten despite recovering

1017
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: an allside kick and getting three turnovers. So yeah, it's

1018
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: it's just a tough mass up because their secondary is

1019
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: so bad that Mahomes at any time could go up

1020
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 1: and down the field. This has but you mentioned this though,

1021
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: for this has been a tough round for for favorites,

1022
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: and you would think maybe you know, it's the opposite

1023
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: with the bye week, but historically, since you know, past

1024
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty years, underdogs forty five and thirty against the spread

1025
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 1: in this round. And if you look at home favorites

1026
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: coming off of a bye, they're just against the spread.

1027
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: And the number one seed is just thirteen and twenty

1028
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: six against the spread over the past twenty years, eight

1029
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: and twenty three against the spread. That's twenty when favored

1030
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: by less than ten points. Again, these are just trends

1031
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: to throw out there. They don't They don't mean that

1032
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: every game is gonna go that way. But I would

1033
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: tend to agree with you. I would love you know,

1034
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: and look, you gotta respect this. This chief staff off

1035
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: of a bye, Reid has been great off of by.

1036
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a great you know, their scripted portion

1037
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: of this game will probably be elite. They're gonna have

1038
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: a really good game plan for Lawrence, who struggles with

1039
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: disguise and certain coverages. You saw the Chargers have them

1040
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: confused early in that game. I would assume something similar

1041
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: for two coaches who are really familiar with each other.

1042
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: I didn't bet a side in this game. I would

1043
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: lean the under, but I'm just hoping that the Chiefs

1044
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 1: somehow get down early and then I'm fired. The Chiefs

1045
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: live because Mahomes and this offense should be able to

1046
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: move up and down the field at will. And this

1047
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: is a Jaguars defense that is dead last NFL and

1048
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: covering tight end. It's not great when you're going against

1049
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. So yeah, if I had a bet it,

1050
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: I would bet the Chiefs. And but I did. I

1051
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: do like a prop in this a rare prop in

1052
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: this game. E t n over receiving yards over seventeen

1053
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: and a half yead, I think three for thirty when

1054
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: they first played. He's he got almost every snap last week.

1055
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: He was you know, Ran, I think of routes on

1056
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence dropbacks. They even put him in the slot, they

1057
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 1: put him out wide. Now they only had twelve receiving yards,

1058
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: but he You know, this is a Chiefs team that's

1059
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,439
Speaker 1: bottom three in the league and covering running backs, and

1060
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: they were able to generate a ton of interior pressure.

1061
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: And I feel like they're gonna have some really exotic

1062
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: looks for Lawrence, which means check downs. Uh, you might

1063
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: have some screens for him and he might even get

1064
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: a look on the outside. So he's gone over that

1065
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: number eleven of seventeen games this year when he wasn't hurt. Uh,

1066
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: if you exclude the Baltimore games. So I did play that, UM,

1067
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: but I would agree with you. If the Chiefs come

1068
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: out here laser focused, um, then they could run away

1069
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: and hide in this game. I'm hoping that they don't

1070
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: and Jags come out jump on them, and then I

1071
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: can bet the Chiefs live. I I think E t

1072
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: N big picture, Jags probably eventually going to be more

1073
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: of a I don't want to call him a scat back,

1074
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: but more of a utility piece than a true back,

1075
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, starting running back. They get a bigger back

1076
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: in there. You know they're gonna have some money. I'm

1077
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: sure Josh Jacobs type guy a power back to go

1078
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: with him. All of a sudden, to me, that offense,

1079
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking next year could be a lot scarier,

1080
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: right you know. I mean that's because you saw in

1081
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: that basically game winning run that he had, Like he

1082
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: does have elite speed, but he's just he's just not

1083
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: a between the and I think him and ironically Clyde

1084
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: as well in the Chiefs just shows you, like, unless

1085
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: he's just a multime great talent like in Adrian Peterson,

1086
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: you just do not take running backs in the first round.

1087
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: It just doesn't It's just it's just way too risky,

1088
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: even if they do have you know, elite pass catching

1089
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: skills or whatever. Uh, probably too much. Jack's tuck there.

1090
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. The Chiefs third down back using

1091
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, in the slot and like some trick plays,

1092
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: that's that's where he could be elite if he has

1093
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: another great complimentary back. Yeah. So I'm with you there.

1094
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: And if I wanted to push back on Hammer and

1095
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, one thing Doug will show is he'll just

1096
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: keep throwing bombs. So hell, they could be up thirty

1097
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: to ten and you get a couple of late scores

1098
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you cover, uh, Chiefs. Chiefs

1099
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: also are not great at covering these numbers of overu

1100
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: touchdown favorite. A lot of it is because and you

1101
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: used to see this with Brady. The only time you

1102
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: would fadom is over a touchdown favorite. They're so good

1103
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: at running the clock out late. So like if they're up,

1104
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: say they were up fourteen, Jack score touchdown, they get

1105
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: it back to Kansas City. Kansas City is so good

1106
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: about all right, let's get five first downs and then

1107
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: we're taking knees at the ten instead of like you know,

1108
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: a field goal, they don't convert, and then you then

1109
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: instead of covering with a field goal, you actually executed

1110
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: all the way down the field and end of the

1111
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: game of kneeds and you don't cover things like that happen. So, yeah,

1112
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: they have been great as over a touchdown favorites, but

1113
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: I just don't see how the Jacks canna stop them here, Okay,

1114
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 1: the night game, you know, Sirianni, just if you read

1115
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: his quotes really over the last you know, month, but

1116
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: even the last couple of weeks, that they are not

1117
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: acting like Jalen's over the hill, everything is fine. This

1118
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: is something that's not going a way, and you know,

1119
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean that that makes me concerned. And Lane Johnson,

1120
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: who was limited in practice, I mean it's fair to

1121
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 1: say even if he goes, which I'm sure I'll try,

1122
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: he's an offensive lineman. Those gets a tough as shit.

1123
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: That's a big injury, an abdominal tear. Uh. Those two

1124
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: injuries on two of not just the best players on

1125
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: the team, and they were two of the best players

1126
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: in the league, you know, and they were a huge

1127
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: reason this team has dominated. Now when they were healthy,

1128
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: they beat the living piss out of the Giants I

1129
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: mean that game. I remember sitting on my couch. I

1130
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: turned it off mid second. I'm like, this is a joke,

1131
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: and you can't take anything out of the final game

1132
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: because they were arresting people, uh, even though it was

1133
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: probably way closer than it should have. You know, if

1134
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: you're the Eagles playing their backups, you you don't want

1135
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: to win whatever two to sixteen. But I don't know,

1136
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just unsure about the Eagles, you know,

1137
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I know the Giants are tough and

1138
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to muck it up. And if the

1139
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: Eagles are healthy, fuck, this is not a game. But

1140
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, my getting Jalen hurts, like is he struggling

1141
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: to throw the ball? Is he a guy that hasn't

1142
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 1: played This will be a second game and what thirty

1143
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: plus days? Right, he hasn't played much football at least,

1144
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: so it's not like he comes in with a lot

1145
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: of momentum. And it's Cavon, isn't Michael Strand. But if

1146
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: Blaine kind of you know, just one of those gives

1147
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: it to go and he's just clearly in a lot

1148
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 1: of pain. The shots not working. They gotta take him out,

1149
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: assuming that they try to do that, all of a sudden,

1150
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: you gotta back up in there. Can they make some

1151
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: Hey you know your your guy wink. I mean that

1152
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: guy just will bring people from every fucking nook and

1153
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: cranny on the field. So I'm prepared for this game

1154
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 1: to get weird, just because the injuries for the Eagles

1155
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: obviously fully healthy. I don't think this is a game

1156
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: and like we talked about before we hopped on, this

1157
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: is probably a ten point line and probably people would

1158
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: be taking the Eagles, but oh no, I wouldn't feel

1159
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: very good. I'm not betting this game just because I

1160
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: there's too much unknown on the Eagles for me. I

1161
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 1: agree too much on Saturday for me to get involved.

1162
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: As of now, Lane Johnson is very important, and I mean, look,

1163
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,439
Speaker 1: a part of me thinks, all right, the Eagles aren't

1164
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: getting enough respect here just in general for a team

1165
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: that ran through the NFC, a team that lost that

1166
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't lose at all with Jalen Hurts and Jordan Davis

1167
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and Davis is really important to their

1168
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: run defense. And then again, you know, if you look

1169
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: at their schedule, who do they really play? But still

1170
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: like this is a team that dominated. The Giants dominated

1171
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: the NFC all year until some injuries late in the season. Meanwhile,

1172
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: the Giants seem to be getting now ether everyone's darling.

1173
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: But this is a team that, if you look in

1174
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 1: the regular beat the no one believed in the vikings

1175
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: they were complete frauds and showed themselves to be. But

1176
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: during the regular season, I mean, the only playoff teams

1177
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 1: they beat where the Jags at a crazy four fourth

1178
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: quarter and the Ravens at a crazy fourth quarter comeback.

1179
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: They were dominated statistically in both those games. Nine of

1180
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: their ten wins come by one possession. So like it,

1181
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: it's a team with a lot of flaws. Still, the

1182
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 1: rosters very funny and they and they don't they don't

1183
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: have top to bottom the high end talent right throughout

1184
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: the throughout the team, throughout the twenty two guys on

1185
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah yeah, and you gotta give steps why

1186
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: I mean, to me, Brian Adables to coach the year.

1187
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, just what he did with this roster and

1188
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: what he's done with Daniel Jones. And like Daniel Jones

1189
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 1: is not throwing the ball deep, He's not He's got

1190
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: He's taken away everything that Jones used to struggle with

1191
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: and just giving him easy throws, and to whose credit,

1192
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: Jones is making those throws and last week he's even

1193
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: thrown it downfield a little more success. But if if

1194
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles are fully healthier, it's not a great matchup

1195
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: for the Giants, because the Giants look they're getting pressure

1196
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: out getting a Dory Jackson Back's important their secondaries getting healthier,

1197
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: but their linebackers are so bad that they they thrive

1198
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: when they're in like dime and dime packages and they

1199
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: can bring pressure play with a lot of defensive backs

1200
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: on the field, but against the Eagles, they could just

1201
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: run right down their throat. If they're doing that, which

1202
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: is what happened in that first meeting, Miles Sanders was

1203
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: running wild. And then if if you make the Giants

1204
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: bringing their linebackers, then you're gonna take advantage with the

1205
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: tight ends and and hurts and it hurts running ability

1206
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: against the slower tight ends. So it gets a really

1207
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: bad matchup for the Giants defense. If everyone on the

1208
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: Eagles offensive healthy, which we don't know about so and

1209
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: if the Eagles jump out ahead he year and then

1210
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: with their pass rushs, then it could be ugly for

1211
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,479
Speaker 1: the Giants. We talked about this right before coming. John's

1212
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: gotta keep this, gotta keep this close early on they're

1213
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: coming in with house money. Everyone on Philly, including the

1214
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: crowd's gonna get tight, and then the Giants could have

1215
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: a shot to pull off the upset from a betting perspective, though,

1216
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: with the line over seven, you know, seven and a half,

1217
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: with the injury on certainty to Philly, stay away from me.

1218
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: You know this next game on Sunday morning, which you

1219
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: know is just a fantastic football game. This is why

1220
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: you signed Von Miller in the off season. The problem

1221
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: is he has a torn a c L and he's

1222
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: in nowhere to be found because you would be like I,

1223
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: just the pass rush for the Bills is gonna be missing.

1224
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: Offensive lineman Joan Williams just located me. They were already missing,

1225
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, the right tackle. So it's just how would

1226
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: you block these guys? But on towards z c L.

1227
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: He's thirty three years old, he's been injured before, he's

1228
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: injured now, so I don't know. I don't view the

1229
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: Bills defense, especially the pass rush, some vaunted pass rush

1230
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: they can just it's like Nick Bosa and you know,

1231
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons are walking through that door, though they do

1232
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: have good young players. Uh. And Joe Burrow has shown

1233
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: that funk. He just can make ship happen if me

1234
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: and you're blocking for him, It's really pretty remarkable. And

1235
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: those receivers dominate. So uh, you know, I I kind

1236
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: of like the Bengals in this spot. And I'm not

1237
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: trying to overreact to last week because to me, the

1238
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: Bills thoroughly outplayed him. It was the turnovers that kept

1239
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: him close. But Josh just turned the ball over a

1240
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: lot this year, you know. I mean, he just throws

1241
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: the ball to the other team. To me, the fumble

1242
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: six a little random, but he has thrown picks, He's

1243
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: played a little hero ball. Uh. I just think I

1244
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 1: have more trust I mean, it's not that big of

1245
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: a difference. I mean, they're both elite guys, but I

1246
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: just feel a little more trustworthy in Joe Burrow. He's

1247
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: proven he can win on the road. I don't necessarily

1248
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: I can win this game, but if I can get

1249
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: him plus five and a half, I mean I I'd

1250
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: have to take the Bengals in this spot, regardless of

1251
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: their offensive Linda, and they they they made the Super

1252
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Bowl last year with the Anthony Moneol supposed to playing

1253
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: offensive blind for him and it was a joke. So

1254
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: I just think the Bengals, man, they just they have

1255
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: this way of kind of staying in games. Yeah, I

1256
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: can't blame me for like the Bengels here, I I

1257
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: disagree personally. I mean the Bengels. Look there, twenty and

1258
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: five against the spread over the best twenty five games.

1259
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: They haven't lost a game by more than a field goal.

1260
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: In the last twenty one games that Jamaar Chase has

1261
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: played in one straight they either won or lost by

1262
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: three or lass. But I just think the offensive line injuries,

1263
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: especially with a cluster and look last of their offensive

1264
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: line was a great they got to the Super bo

1265
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: You gotta remember they burrows sat nine times against Tennessee

1266
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: and they won. Like nineteen seventeen, they barely beat the Raiders,

1267
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: and they have a crazy comeback against the Chiefs, who

1268
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: just melted down. It's not like they were rolling teams.

1269
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,439
Speaker 1: But what happened in that game. They got three picks

1270
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: against tan Hill, right, So it's like, Josh, you know

1271
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: turnovers in these playoff games. You saw your team there

1272
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: if Alan. If Alan turns it over, yeah he then

1273
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: this game will be close. But having those three and

1274
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: then you lose Alex Capito's gonna be your best offensive

1275
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: lineman in the interior. Now you're just its offensive lineman

1276
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: all at once, like and then you're going on the road.

1277
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: So like. And if you look at last week in

1278
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: the second half, the Bengals offense couldn't do anything after

1279
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: those offensive line injuries occurred. They had one five step

1280
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: drop back in the second half. The Barrows under pressure

1281
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: right away and the Ravens on it some great pass rush.

1282
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Bills can still generate pressure without blitzing, and you don't

1283
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: want to blitz Barrow, which is good here for Buffalo.

1284
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, I do think

1285
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: that the Sense defense is a tad overrated, which is

1286
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I like Buffalo here. I mean,

1287
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: if you look, their metrics are really good. I really

1288
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: like the defensive coordinator. But out of the eighteen quarterbacks

1289
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: they faced this year, nine or we're backups. I mean,

1290
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: you just look at the last two weeks. I mean,

1291
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: you clinched the division, you beat Anthony Brown, and then

1292
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: in the playoffs you get to play Tyler Huntley. Um,

1293
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: you know you played Jacobe, you lost the Jacoby Brissette,

1294
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: you lost to Lamar Jackson. Yet so like just within

1295
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: their division, they got to play Cooper Rush when they

1296
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: played the Cowboys, Joe Flacco when played the Jets. This

1297
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: is a team that benefited from a ton p j.

1298
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Walker like a ton of bad. The Steelers quarterback situation,

1299
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, until the last couple of weeks wasn't great. Yeah,

1300
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: and they lost the Trapsky and then they beat Picket,

1301
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: but gave up thirty to the Steelers in that game.

1302
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: So I do think that there's some who remember they

1303
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: lost a woozy either starting corner. There's some holes at

1304
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: corner and at linebacker on this defense that I think

1305
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: the Bills can exploit. And then the Bills statistically had

1306
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: the best special teams in the NFL this year. Bengals struggle.

1307
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 1: Their kickers been struggling a little more than I would

1308
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: have expected this year. I like their staff a little

1309
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: more too, so like home Field staff, the Bengals offensive

1310
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: line injuries. I think the Bengals defense is a tad

1311
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: of a raid of the special teams. Like everything favors

1312
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: the Bills here, the wild card is the turnovers. So

1313
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: if alan which are which are fluky and hard to predict.

1314
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: We saw that with Prestons, like there was the turnovers

1315
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: and then last week he throws five touchdowns, So um yeah,

1316
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: I can't blame you for liking the Bengals of the points.

1317
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I just think the offensive line injuries on the road,

1318
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: like it's having a cluster like that, it's gonna be

1319
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: really really tough for since you here, but back in

1320
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Joe Barrow, I could never blame me. Okay, if the

1321
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys had done what they did on Sunday or even

1322
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and they were on the same schedule as

1323
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: the Niners, I would feel I would understand, and if

1324
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna bet the game, I would take the

1325
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the points over a field goal. But the

1326
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: disparity of time off this late in the season when

1327
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have been on the road. They did that

1328
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night game with the Titans, last Thursday night game

1329
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: of the year Washington right on the road, then last

1330
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: week on the road Monday night, when the Niners play

1331
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. So by the time that they get back

1332
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: to Dallas, you know, three four two, and then whatever

1333
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, the coaching staff probably

1334
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: goes to the office all pop it out or all

1335
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,959
Speaker 1: slamming coffee. I mean, they gotta be just gassed. Even

1336
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the players take a night off. Like to me that

1337
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: because clearly, if Dallas plays a good game, they're really

1338
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: good team. They got really good players. They could hang

1339
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: with probably anyone in the league. Right. But because I

1340
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: think they're better than last year, Mike is probably a

1341
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: little bit better if when das on CDs kind of

1342
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: coming into his own, Schultz is stud that they relied

1343
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: more in Pollard now than slow Zeke, and Zeke's just

1344
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: really the red zone guy. But I do think that

1345
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: maybe the game is close early, but eventually you're gonna

1346
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: run out of gas like that that time off. The

1347
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Rams won the Super Bowl last year Monday night, but

1348
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: they were at home. I think being on the road

1349
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: especially like I mean, that's a pretty several that's a

1350
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: couple of time zones for the Cowboys to come back

1351
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: to Tampa. It's not like a thirty minute flight. I

1352
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: think that's really really tough. Now, I was listening to

1353
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: doing some research that some of the inactors for Dallas,

1354
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: obviously Tampa they're throwing teams, so they some of the

1355
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackles that will probably be active for this game

1356
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: to try to neutralize dan Quins clearly a pretty good

1357
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who's been around the block playing brock Purty.

1358
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: But it's not like just brock Purty. Right, Kyle can

1359
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: get his playmakers the ball pretty easily hands the ball

1360
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: off a lot, even some of the throws he throws

1361
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: qu screens. It's not He's not dependent like Josh Allen

1362
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: on seven step drops pushing the ball way down the field.

1363
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: It's it's easy for him to get his ball, the

1364
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: ball to his playmaker. So you know, I like the

1365
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Niners in this camp. Well, I figured he would. I

1366
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: took I took plus four, would take plus three and

1367
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: a half. And I'm not just I think the Cowboys

1368
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: are good like and I've sent it all year and

1369
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: people like, oh, they're not that good. I do think

1370
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: they're good, and I think they could win this game.

1371
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: It's just it's gonna be I would think that if

1372
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: it was a Saturday or Sunday, the Monday night game playoff,

1373
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: that's that's fucking difficult to overcome in my opinion. Yeah,

1374
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I agree with you. I'm not discounting that

1375
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: fourth straight road game. You're going across the country. The

1376
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: rest disadvantage, it's definitely a factor. Um yeah, a lot

1377
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: of adderall in the in those coaches staff firms all

1378
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: week and it's but here's the thing. I mean, look,

1379
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: pretty has face. He's he's faced a really easy schedule

1380
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: of defenses. He's been a great game States and China

1381
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: is gonna put him in that position. But this is

1382
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: by far, I think the best defense from a pressure

1383
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: perspective and from an exotic look perspective that he's gonna get.

1384
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: We'll see if you can stay in mistake free. But

1385
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: I also the key I think in this game is like,

1386
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that if the Cowboys haven't

1387
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: been struggling lately and the Niners have won eleven straight,

1388
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: this line would be a field goal. And you know,

1389
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: you do have to account for something for the rest

1390
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and the travel, but I just have to I had

1391
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 1: to take four, and I still would take three and

1392
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: a half. The one factor that I think is not

1393
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: maybe being accounted for here, and for what it's worth,

1394
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: teams on a ten plus game winning streak in this

1395
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: round or later or one in thirteen against the spread

1396
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: over the past thirty years, um is the sett just

1397
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: go secondary. I think that there might be more cracks

1398
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: than we know, and we've seen it a few times,

1399
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: like they've had a very easy schedule similar to the Eagles.

1400
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: But you know, we saw what the Raiders did. We

1401
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: saw like what the Seahawks did early in the game,

1402
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: and if you look at some of their deep passing stats,

1403
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: like if you can get some time or give yourself time,

1404
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: there's some cracks in that secondary and there's some opportunity

1405
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: that you can have. The San Francistico defense is elite,

1406
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: but I think that the from a past defense perspective,

1407
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some opportunities here for Dak, who I

1408
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: think is going to carry over a lot of that

1409
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: momentum from last week. No one needed a week like

1410
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: that more than him. So I think this ends up

1411
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: being a classic. Yeah you know, alright, P I wish

1412
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: it's Summer all on Madden on the corn that ends

1413
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: up like this sends up being like twenty seventeen. Well,

1414
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: one thing that's interested in this game because I think

1415
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that this has a chance

1416
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: to be really close, and they should. It was in

1417
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: a weird way. It was closer last year the score

1418
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: than the actual game. Uh. But I mean Jimmy threw

1419
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: a bad pick to kind of get them back in

1420
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: the game. Okay, Well, closed games in the playoffs come

1421
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: down the field goal kickers. Last time I check, Robbie

1422
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Golds never missed a playoff field goal. Uh, even though

1423
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: it's weird, I don't view him as like he's never

1424
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna miss, but it always goes in that situation last week,

1425
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens if you know it's a ten

1426
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: ten game, second quarter and the dude mss a field goal.

1427
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, all of a sudden, they start going for two.

1428
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: They start going for it in spots where maybe they

1429
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't and in tight games. I don't know. I mean,

1430
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: I understand they were in a predicament. What are they

1431
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna do? Cut them and bring in some new guy

1432
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: with the second round of the playoffs. But that that

1433
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: was unlike anything we I mean, it's it's never happened

1434
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 1: in NFL history, right, Yeah, they started Tristan, This Guyana,

1435
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how he gets keeps getting This guy

1436
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: keeps getting work. No offense to day. I'm sure he's

1437
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 1: a great guy, but he was awful in college. I

1438
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,759
Speaker 1: think he was the Chargers kicker, missing kicks forever um

1439
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: and then the the how is there just a shortage

1440
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: of kickers? I don't know, it's just more people point

1441
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,560
Speaker 1: they might you know, on the road, you might go.

1442
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: They might end up going for it on like fourth

1443
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: and one. You're not like fourth and one early in

1444
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: the game. It's three nothing, late first quarter and the

1445
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys are driving, You're at the seven. Do you go

1446
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 1: for it? Um? So it probably introduces a lot more variance,

1447
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it will come down

1448
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: and by the way, you probably just jinks gold, But

1449
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of the probably comes down

1450
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: to if his first kick, like his first extra point,

1451
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: his first kick, because if that goes through, you know

1452
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: he was good all year. If not, and his mind

1453
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: and that's what happened last week, and everything just kind

1454
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: of spiled and then you know, you're like, I can't

1455
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: I can't put this kid out again. Let's say they

1456
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: scored the first drive and McCarthy goes for it, right,

1457
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: how does he have a roll him out for fuel

1458
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 1: goal in the game? The kid would be like, it's so,

1459
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: it's which to me that everyone. Let's say they scored

1460
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: the first drive, It's like, are they gonna go for

1461
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: it here? Yeah? And he might. Yeah, it's that's that's

1462
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm fascinated to watch how that plays out. And

1463
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:44,799
Speaker 1: he was so good all year and the missing spots

1464
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: like he got that, he got he got the yips

1465
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: all of a sudden and didn't know how to throw

1466
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: at the first base Chuck knoblock Stads, So like, yeah,

1467
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: it's it'll be fascinating to watch. I think it just

1468
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: introduces a lot more variants in the game. I don't

1469
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: know who it's it's I would rather be San Francisco,

1470
01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: but you might end up being the four Niners and

1471
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: then all the like last week they go for a

1472
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: fourth down, get a touchdown against the Bucks and basically

1473
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: bury them because they didn't trust their kicker anymore. Um,

1474
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: but one, Yeah, that's it's fast. It's gonna be a

1475
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 1: fascinating watched. One final thing to here is is maybe

1476
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 1: is the And this is something that I I considered. Maybe

1477
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: the NFC East was just really good this year and

1478
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: that's why there's three teams in the division. Round from

1479
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: win division first time. They went thirty and sixteen against

1480
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 1: the spread in non division games this year, so they

1481
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: and it's hey, look, maybe the Giants are better than

1482
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: we thought there here, maybe Washington is better than we thought.

1483
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: And Dallas just absolutely put the screws to Tampa. Boat

1484
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: teams win on the road, NFC E s teams on

1485
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: the road last week, So maybe there's a little bit

1486
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: about in the NFC East team. I just think there

1487
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: should be a field goal um and maybe a mark

1488
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: kick decides it and they lose by a field goal

1489
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 1: and San Francisco moves on. But yeah, I took the

1490
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: points here. Well I'm in completement complete agreement there on

1491
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: the NFC East. I mean, if Washington worst team, what,

1492
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 1: they go eight eight and one, and like I remember

1493
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: when the Niners beat him, thinking one, I don't know

1494
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: why they yan Kinnickie in that game, but too like

1495
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 1: that team has just you know, obviously they were a

1496
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 1: flawed team, but has fucking good players in a lot

1497
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: of different positions like that guy. So it's like, jeez,

1498
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: that's the worst team in your division. Holy sh it.

1499
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, and Dallas wins this game you're

1500
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: getting an NFC East you know, the NFC Championship game,

1501
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: which first time the Dallas would be in the NFC

1502
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Championship games since. And listen, if McCarthy wins this game,

1503
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: super Bowl is always gonna be the biggest win of

1504
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: your career. To me, this would be an have to

1505
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: be the second biggest win because you look back on

1506
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: that Chicago game that he won in the NFC Championship game.

1507
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Remember color was hurt and in the sideline with the jacket.

1508
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: This would be more impressive given the short week, given

1509
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: that everyone's been shipping on this guy for years and

1510
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: beating Shanahan and on the road. Uh So, yeah, I mean,

1511
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm to me, this is the best game of the week.

1512
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, it's the the I mean Sundays off

1513
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,160
