1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: The volume What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecop three 2 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: and Out podcast Back at it again Sunday night, nine 3 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: o'clock at night. Actually just got out of the shower, 4 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: feeling fresh and clean. Had a long day of not 5 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: doing much, eating, consuming football. I don't even want to 6 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: look at my phone to check out how many steps 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: I took because I did not take many. And today 8 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: was not the most active day, but it was. It 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: was a lot of football watching and god damn a 10 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: my good at that. So some thoughts on Aaron Rodgers, 11 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, fraud Meyer, God fraud Meyers, the gift that 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: keeps on given. We have a huge Monday night football 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: game to night Sean McVeigh vers Cliff Kingsbury. You know, 14 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the coaching good looking rankings, probably number 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: one and two Kingsberry McVeigh one two, got that market cornered. 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: Now for the older ladies, very boy. I know it's 17 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: a big hit with some of the women, like over 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: thirty five, but I bet if you went, you know, 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: thirty five and under McVeigh and in Kingsbury probably corner 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: that market. Big football game, I mean, we got a 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: big boy football game. Chiefs are back. I'll do some cowboys. 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons probably on Tuesday's podcast because I watched a 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: lot of that game and geez, that dude can play um. 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: And then the Oregon hired a new coach, probably saved 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: that for Tuesday as well. Uh, we'll just rock and 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: roll three and out podcast. Make sure you subscribe, share 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: it with your friends. You guys know, the Drill wanted 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: to start off with just pretty gut wrenching the news 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: of Demarius Thomas. I never met him personally, probably saw 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: him play three or four times live. Just a remarkable player. 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: The outpouring from his teammates, from his former teammates from 32 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Uh is pretty tough to watch, you know, 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: just because I say this all the time in my experience, 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: it's around the NFL. The guys, I mean, their character 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: is really high. The way they treat people, the way 36 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: they treat kids. I don't think players get enough credit, 37 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: especially younger players, you know, guys in their twenties that 38 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: aren't dads or anything. The way they treat people's kids, fans, kids, 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: older players, kids, coaches, kids that they really you know, 40 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: the NFL, it's a pretty tight knit community and most guys, 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority are people you'd want in your life. 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I worked in corporate America for a couple 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: of years. A lot more slaps in that than I 44 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: ever encountered in the NFL, I'll promise you that. And 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: it's just clearly the NFL lost. You know, a guy 46 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: that was extremely well liked and was a pro ball player. 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been going to NFL games now for 48 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: over a decade. They're easily one of the best teams 49 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: I've ever seen live, and he was. He was easily 50 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: one of their better players. Right, So it's just it's 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: hard to see Peyton Manning when he gets that emotional. 52 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: And John Elway had some public comments. Just just a 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: tough deal. But let's start with the Packers and Green 54 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: Bay and listen, people ask me all the time, and 55 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: they definitely did more like when I had when I 56 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: was an NFL scout or even when I had a 57 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: radio show in San Francisco, like that's the coolest job ever. 58 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: It's great, that's so awesome. I want to do what 59 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: you do right, And I still get that, Like a 60 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: lot of people reach out to me, how do I 61 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: work in the NFL? It seems like a dream job, 62 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: and I listen, it's been cool and I've had the 63 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: opportunity to do it, But I from my experience and 64 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: whether you're you know, hosting the biggest radio show in America, 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: whether you're digging ditches or whether you're the CEO of Amazon, 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: a job just turns into a job, and you obviously 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: want to be passionate about what you do. You want 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: to like what you do. It makes it easier to 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: get up every day. But we all whether I'm doing 70 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: this now, whatever you're doing listening to this, whether you 71 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: love your job, whether you run your company, what, whether 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: you get paid a lot of money, we all can 73 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: complain about things that are going on in our professional environments. 74 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: It's human nature. It literally happens to everyone. Oprah would 75 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: have complaints, like Jeff Bezos would have complaints, like the 76 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: janitor at the local school would have complaints. Now they'd 77 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: be different complaints. Some people might have first class problems, 78 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: other people would just have normal human complaints. People still complain, right, 79 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: We always, you know, think things can be better. It's 80 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: just the way humans, that's the way we are. That's 81 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: never changed. I bet it's always been like that. Before 82 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: I was ever born, and it'll be like that long 83 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: after I'm gone and everyone's living in the metaverse. Right. 84 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: People will surely complain one day about the metaverse. But 85 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: there are certain situations in life where it's like, you 86 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: know what, you got it pretty good. We all have 87 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: friends that are in situations maybe a marriage, maybe work 88 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: for company that you know, they're with their family, that 89 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: complain about things. You gotta tell them like, you know, 90 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty good problem to have, right, 91 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: And Rodgers for years has felt a little pouty, felt 92 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: like he complained, and you know what, it turned out 93 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: he was right about McCarthy because it was for a 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: long time like Aaron, why does he like McCarthy? They're 95 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: winning a lot and then we see Mike. We're like, yeah, 96 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: kind of a meat hit. I can see why Aaron 97 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: Rodgers wouldn't like McCarthy. Understandable. But then over the last 98 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: like years, like he's complained about Goodakins, I kept going, well, 99 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: I think Goodakins is pretty good. You know, it's like 100 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: everyone's like, why did he draft a J. Dolling? And 101 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm watching a J Deal and I'm like, I'd love 102 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: to have that guy on my team, pretty good player. 103 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: He finds all these guys on the scrap, he puts 104 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: together a team that just wins and kicks ass. And 105 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: he was also a major reason that they hired Matt Laflour. 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: And here's the reality of Matt Laflour. Is he the 107 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: perfect coach for Aaron Rodgers? Could it have gone any better? 108 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: So we've pretty we've cleared up Gudakins, excellent GM. Now 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: Rogers complaining about things that were first class problems and 110 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: to him probably meant were a big deal inside. I 111 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: get it. I understand. I'm not saying he's not justified 112 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: for having those feelings, But Aaron has proven Goodikins. He's 113 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: as good of a GM as there is in the NFL. 114 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: Right now, I would want him to be the general 115 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: manager of my team. But here's the key. Ultimately, if 116 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Gudakins is going to capitulate to rogers demands and do 117 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: things that he wants, which he clearly did this year, 118 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: why would he ever want to leave? He has the 119 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: perfect head coach for him. One of the flour is 120 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: clearly an intelligent guy, and he's young, and he's hip, 121 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: and him and Rodgers get along just on the most 122 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: bait before we even get the football. They get along 123 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: as human beings, which clearly matters to Aaron and then 124 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: when we look from a football perspective, he is the 125 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: ideal coach for Rogers because he does what everyone's always 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: wanted coaches to do with Russell Wilson. Even though for 127 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: whatever reason, if you were the offensive coordinator for Russell Wilson, 128 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: you get fired, bevil fired. Schottenheimer filed fired, and Shane 129 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: Waldron probably will be fired at the end of the year. 130 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: That's just that's the reality with Russell Wilson. Everyone wants 131 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to let him cook, and then they let him cook 132 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: and they get fired. Well, Aaron Rodgers, who's a much 133 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: better player than Russell Wilson. Aaron Rodgers arguably, you know, 134 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: depending on how his career really, thirty seven is like 135 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: the new thirty one. He might have six seven years 136 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: left playing at this level. There's a chance if he 137 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: wins a couple more, he can go down it's like 138 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: the second greatest quarterback of all time. Still a lot 139 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: of career two for him to kind of earn, and 140 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: legacy and and pelts on the wall for him to 141 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: put up there but Lafleur lets him cook as he should, 142 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: but he also mandates, because he's a Shanahan disciple, run 143 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: the ball. Because when you run the ball one, you 144 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: take pressure off Aaron and and you make your team tougher. 145 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: And the Packers are dramatically tougher these last couple of 146 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: years under La Floora than they ever were with McCarthy. 147 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, McCarthy did not like running the ball. 148 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to pass it all the time, which I 149 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: kind of understand. Spread it out, let rogers sling it around. 150 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: But to be a good team and to be a 151 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: physical team, you have to run the ball. Because that 152 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: also translates right now in December and in January, where 153 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna be hosting games at Lambeau in at any 154 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: moment it could turn into zero degrees sleet rain, and 155 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: what we saw with New England Verse Buffalo, the Packers 156 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: are equipped to play that type game and they should 157 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: be getting if all goes well. Bok tr their star 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: left tackle back sometime this season. We'll see who knows, 159 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: but the floor has been fantastic, So Rogers, it's human 160 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: to complain about things. We all do it. You could 161 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: find me the richest kid in the world a ten 162 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: year old. Find me a ten year old who is 163 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: whose parents are whatever. Ten year olds parents are the richest, 164 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: they would have complaints. You find me a ten year 165 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: old whose parents are under the poverty line, they would 166 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: have complaints. You find me a fifth year old running 167 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: a company multimillionaire, he would complain. You find me a 168 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: fifty year old that just got laid off, has no money, 169 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: he would complain. Humans complaint.

So I don't ever fault anyone for complaining, 172 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: though I try to avoid people that complain a lot 173 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: because it's a lot of negativity. But we all do it, 174 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: even the most positive Tony Robin site. People are going 175 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: to complain. But you also need to be able to 176 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: take a step back and realize when you have it 177 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: pretty good.

Another topic, this isn't stupid for those of 218 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: you that are newer to me. I used to have 219 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: a nickname for Urban Meyer for years, and I called 220 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: him fraud Meyer. I have never disputed in terms of 221 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: on the on Saturday's Coaching College Football. That the guy 222 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: was not elite at his job. If you put him 223 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: at any of like the top ten programs in America. 224 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: He obviously coached at Florida and Ohio State. But if 225 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: you put him at Alabama, you put him at l 226 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: s U, you put him at USC, put him at Texas, 227 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: you put him in Oklahoma, he would kick ass and 228 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: take names. A fantastic college football coach, one of the 229 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: truly greats we've ever seen. Three national championships. Put Utah 230 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: on the map, star head coach on Saturdays. But there 231 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: is a big difference between Saturdays and Sundays. Even though 232 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: they're both football, they're dramatically different because on Sundays, everyone 233 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: that you see on the field, all the players, all 234 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: the coaches, and all the executives, the I R S 235 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: knows about their paycheck. When I go to college football, 236 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: especially at the highest level, the I R S does 237 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: not know about all the payments that are going through 238 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: the players. There's these things we call brown backs. And 239 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: if you've listened to me for you a while, you 240 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: know I'm not anti cheating. I consider that capitalism. I 241 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: laugh at the n C double a. I think it's 242 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: a joke, so I don't blame any coaches for pushing 243 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: the envelope. No one pushes the envelope better than Urban Meyer, 244 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: and he loaded and round bagged his team at Florida 245 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: and then Ohio State, as he should, and he kicked 246 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: everyone's ass. But college football, unlike the pros, is not fair. 247 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: Some teams have bigger payrolls than the other and Urban 248 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: was smart enough to get with programs that always had 249 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: elite pay rolls, and he had better teams than of 250 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: the teams he ever played. The deck was always stacked 251 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,599 Speaker 1: on his side, and he utilized his big program to 252 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: his benefit rightfully. So had good coaching staffs, kicked ass 253 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: and take names in pro football. That's not the way 254 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: other teams. They drive big cars and live in big 255 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: homes too. They have ten twelve million dollar coaches as well, 256 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: so the parody in the NFL is relatively equal. And 257 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: Monday through Saturday, when you're getting ready for the game, 258 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: there is no recruiting. There's no in the middle of 259 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: October or November calling people and trying to convince them 260 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: to come play for you. The NFL is a scheme game. 261 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Shanahan, Sean McVeigh, Cliff Kingsbury, Bill Belichick. 262 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: They scheme Monday through Saturday getting ready for the game. 263 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: They psycho analyze their football team. They try to get 264 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: them prepared for what is coming from the opponent schematically, 265 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: try to put them in the best positions schematically. That 266 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: is the sport of football on Sundays. And Urban Meyer 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: his best skill by a mile was recruiting because he 268 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: always had advantages at those programs hashtag the brown bag. 269 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: There is no brown bag in the NFL. They're called 270 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: direct deposits. You pay taxes on those, and you have 271 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: a salary cap and every team has the ability to 272 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: sign players under that salary cap. And you don't get to, 273 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, pick the best players when you're at Ohio State, 274 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: right the Jaguars because you suck you draft first in 275 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: the round. Well, he is. And once you get to 276 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: the NFL, like what you it in college or even 277 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: vice versa. Though younger people are more influential, influential, so 278 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: you when you say you coach in the NFL, it's 279 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: a big deal to college people, right, college players recruiting them. 280 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: When you go from college to the pros. Every guy 281 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: that's a pro is one being paid, and a lot 282 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: of them played at high level colleges. Think of the 283 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jacks. Their most talented player is their quarterback who 284 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: played at Clemson, who won a national championship and who 285 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: did not lose for three years, who played for Dabbo Sweeney. 286 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: A guy that's making ten plus million dollars. Right. So, 287 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: when urban Meyer says I've won a national championship, I'm 288 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: a winner. Trevor Lawrence goes, so have I. But the 289 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: the story that came out that said he treats his 290 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: assistant coaches like ship. Let me say this, a lot 291 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: of coaches are hard on their assistance. That's not new. 292 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: The greatest coach in the history of the league, Bill Belichick, 293 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: I've talked, He's difficult on people. The guy that he 294 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: modeled his coaching after, Bill Walsh, was notorious for being 295 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: hard on assistance because that way he didn't have to 296 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: yell at the players. He would yell at the assistant, 297 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: and then the player would feel bad for his position 298 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: coach and then work harder. It was like he was 299 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: playing psychological games. Urban Meyer. The story that came out 300 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: was that he called his assistants losers. Then Jay Glazer 301 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: said on television that Urban my he talked to urban 302 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: Meyer on the phone, and urban Meyer did not deny 303 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: that he did that, and then Jay Glazer kind of 304 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: came back and said that he didn't actually call him losers. Regardless. 305 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: I don't give a ship the semantics of what he 306 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: actually called him. Here's a reality in that room. They 307 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: have basically co coordinators, right, Daryl Bevel and Brian Schottenheimer. 308 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: Both those guys have an accomplished infinitely more than urban 309 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: Meyer ever has in the NFL. Brian Schottenheimer was the 310 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator on the Jets team that went to two 311 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: a f C Championship games. Darryl Bever was the offensive 312 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: coordinator on the Seattle team that I don't know one 313 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: a super Bowl and went back to another. Urban Meyer 314 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: in his life has won two fucking games in the 315 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: National Football League. Urban Meyer has no business being in 316 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: the NFL. Beside him just being a famous guy. He 317 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: is completely over his head. He does not call the offense, 318 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: he obviously knows nothing about defense, and his greatest attribute, recruiting, 319 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: is useless in the NFL because that's not the way 320 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: you build your team. You don't get to brown bag anybody. 321 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: You have to just pay them with actual money that 322 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: everyone else can also pay them too. Right, there's no wow. 323 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: We can afford to give him more in the offshore 324 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: bank account. And honestly, the brown bag is a little 325 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: outdated too. We talk about offshore accounts, but urban Meyer 326 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: is one. He's just an asshole. And listen, there's nothing 327 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: wrong with being an asshole. If you're good, like Bill 328 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: Belichick and Nick Saban can be an asshole to their assistance. 329 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: You know when you're working for them, they're gonna lead 330 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: to ends. Well, if I'm Brian Schottenheimer, if I'm Daryl Bevil, 331 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: or if I'm some of these players who have played 332 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL for several years and you're just being 333 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: an asshole, why do I think you're good at your 334 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: job because you won national championships at Ohio State? I 335 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: do not give a shit. If I'm Brian Schottenheimer. What 336 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: does beating James Franklin on some random, random Saturday in 337 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: early October mean for us? When we're playing Carson Wentz 338 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: and Frank Wright or Mike Vrabel and Ryan Tannehill, it 339 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: has zero carryover none and he keeps hanging his hat 340 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: like I'm some winner. Yes, you were a winner in 341 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: a different industry. And we all know this. Anyone listening 342 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: to this, if you've ever worked for someone and there 343 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: being a dick to you, if they are really accomplished 344 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: or really good at their job, it's easier to suck 345 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: it up and take it well when someone is being 346 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, you are an underling of someone and there's 347 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: a hierarchy in any in any industry, and that person 348 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: is being hard and an asshole to you, and you 349 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: don't think they know what they're talking about. And I 350 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: think it's fair to think if you're Darryl Bevil and 351 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer, they could be six months or you know, 352 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: almost a year into being around urban Meyer and they 353 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: could go, I don't think this guy has any you know, 354 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: any clue what he's doing in the NFL. We've seen 355 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: it before. Look at Matt Rule. Matt Rule is completely 356 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: over his head. That team is getting throttled every single week. 357 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: He has no idea how to fix the quarterback. Why 358 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: because he doesn't have any options. The option he tried 359 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: to utterly fail. And I like Matt Rule a lot 360 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: more than rbant Meyer to coach my NFL team. But 361 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: these guys are lifetime college coaches and they come to 362 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: Sunday and it's just a different animal, you know, who 363 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have to worry about yelling at his coaches any 364 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: read like he just so the way he does it. Now, 365 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: that's part of his personality. I know Kyle can be 366 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: hard on coaches, but there's no one that works for 367 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan that goes you know what Kyle Shanahan knows. 368 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: He knows how to call it plays. He is specifically 369 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: doing something on the staff that I can't do. What 370 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: the fund is urban Meyer doing. He's a CEO leader. Well, 371 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: no one even likes him, you know, part of like 372 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: you could be like, well, Brian Kelly was a dick. 373 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: Clearly some of the players like Brian Kelly because what 374 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: he's doing works. Again on Saturdays, I think urban Meyer 375 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: is just in the deep end and he doesn't know 376 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: how to swim. Now, if you put him back at college, 377 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: if he would have gone to Oregon, if you would 378 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: have gone to Texas, if he would have gone to 379 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: l s U, he would win because he can use 380 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: his greatest advantage, his greatest advantage in the NFL does 381 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: not exist. He has no advantages. Honestly, one of his 382 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: biggest advantages on Saturdays is his name. Hey, I'm urban Meyer. 383 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: I walk in. If he just would have became the 384 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: head coach at l s U or Florida, right, he 385 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: could just walk into a recruits home, I'm Urban Meyer. 386 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: National championships. When he looks at Marvin Jones and says, Marvin, 387 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: I've won three national championships. You know what Marvin Jones was? 388 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: What does that mean to me? I'm playing this week, 389 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm playing Xavier Howard or this week we're playing the Patriots. Well, 390 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: why do I care what you did in Ohio State 391 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: five years ago? It's irrelevant. And you're just seeing a 392 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: guy that's kind of a human. He's just a fraud. 393 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: He's he's honestly a great salesman who I don't think 394 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: it coaches way out of a wet paper bag right now, 395 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: and these stories aren't coming out randomly. People there can't 396 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: stand him. You talk about a toxic individual. But ultimately 397 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: the reason this is bad is because he has no 398 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: clue how to fix it. Why, Why is this gonna 399 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: get any better next year? How we sawt with Matt Rule, 400 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: who clearly is not as big of a dick. He 401 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: had no clue what he's doing, and he's destined to 402 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: win six games a second year. These just just there 403 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: what I would recommend to some of these guys. If 404 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: you're making huge money, as Urban was, and as Matt 405 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: Rule wasn't caught, stay just make huge money, win your games, 406 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: compete for national championships, Stay in your lane like there's 407 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. I used to really worry about getting pigeonholed 408 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 1: when someone's like sick the football, and I'd be like, 409 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: I know basketball, especially when I was working in the radio. 410 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't even care anymore. But if you can make eight, nine, ten, 411 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: twelve million dollars and get pigeonholed as a college coach, 412 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: who cares? Do you think Nick Saban is worried about 413 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: being pigeonholed? He could only get it done in Alabama. 414 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: To google his bank account, Google his salary, Google Tuscalooso 415 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz owned by Nick Saban. You think he gives 416 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: thinks about it for one second? Urban Meyer tried to 417 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: try to prove himself because he goes massive and he's 418 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: got hit directly in the mouth and proven you don't 419 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: belong on Sundays. Go back to Saturday's you, dick. I mean, 420 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: it's just it's one thing to be a curmudgeon like Belichick. 421 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: He kicks everyone's ass and he has for two decades 422 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: and he's doing it again. And honestly, Belichick, if you 423 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: talked to all the players that have played for him, 424 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I played golf a month ago, Shane Vereen. 425 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: He's well liked urban Is. People can't stand this guy, 426 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: cannot stay and them. So there's nothing like being a 427 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: loser and people don't like you. Not a good combination. 428 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: And let's look at the Sunday night or the Monday 429 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: night game. Uh, Like, let's face I I've been hard 430 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: on Kingsbury over the years. I've taken the l here. 431 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: Their team has been fantastic. They're in the driver's seat 432 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: if they win this game to get the number one 433 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: overall seat. And we know how big a deal that is. 434 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: For two reasons. One, they only give out one by 435 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: So if you have the number one seed and a bye, 436 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: which the NFC is better at the top than the 437 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: a f C because you've got Rogers and Brady, you know. 438 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: The one thing is if you're Kingsbury, you're ultimately to 439 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl or even get to the championship, 440 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to beat Rogers probably or Brady potentially right, 441 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: and maybe Dak right. So getting the number one overall 442 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: seed is a really big deal. That place rocks, it's indoor. 443 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: It's a good football town, especially when they're good. Right, 444 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: But this game, for Sean McVeigh, we all consider them 445 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender. It's hard for me to do that. 446 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: I do not consider them a Super Bowl contender right 447 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: now for two reasons. One, they cannot run the football, 448 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: and if you can't run the football, it's hard to 449 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: play well in January. And to their quarterback, I've said 450 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: this over and over, he just hasn't played in that 451 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: many big games in his career. He's played more big 452 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: games like a seven game stretch than he probably did 453 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: over five years. Every single game he's been with with 454 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: the Rams past, like Week two, has really mattered. There 455 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 1: have been a lot of eyeballs. Again, they have had 456 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: super Bowl implications because that is the goal for the 457 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: team he's playing on, and because of their running game. One, 458 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: they've had a bunch of injuries and to their coach 459 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: has just gotten away from it. They've put a lot 460 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: on Stafford's back, and you can do that historically with 461 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, with Tom Brady, with obviously Aaron Rodgers, with Mahomes. 462 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: We're kind of finding out maybe Matt Stafford isn't that guy, 463 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: or maybe it's gonna take him a year to get 464 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: these reps and he'll be much better off next year, 465 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: which I kind of think. And then there's three that 466 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: some people, just haters think he's really overrated, which honest 467 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: league might not be a crazy thought. Now. I know 468 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: he's banged up, but this is a massive game for him. 469 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: When you get these Monday nights or the Thursday night game, 470 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: Charger Chiefs is enormous. With two playoff level teams, we 471 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: have huge, huge, uh takeaways, And I would say, I 472 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: don't want to say we think we we talked about 473 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: them as facts, but what we see in the standalone 474 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: game just kind of carries with you for a while. 475 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray can get right back in the MVP 476 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: race just because it's wide open. Uh. Matt Stafford could 477 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: shut everyone up with a four touchdown game against a 478 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: really good defense on the road, and everyone starts kind 479 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: of giving him a reach around again. But Sean McVeigh 480 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: is a guy that listened. I think is one of 481 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: the better coaches in the league. I don't know how 482 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: you couldn't, but he's had a rough little stretch, and 483 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: I think he's gotten away from his roots. That's why 484 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: I give La Floor a lot of credit because La 485 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: Floor is a Shanahan disciple, and the Shannahan Disciples they 486 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: run the football because when you run the football when 487 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: you can, you demoralize your opponent. And maybe it's just 488 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: as simple as they can't run. That's what McVeigh would 489 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: tell me. But he just gets away from it really early. 490 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: And I think it's easier for him to get away 491 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: from it early because unlike Jared Goff, who can't make 492 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: all the throws, he's got a guy that can make 493 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: every throw with his eyes closed. And I think it's 494 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: easy for offensive coaches to kind of, um, I don't know, 495 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: fall in love with that, especially younger ones. So I 496 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: I hope that I want to see the Rams play 497 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: well because if they don't and the Cardinals beat him, uh, 498 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: and let's say they beat him handily, I think we're 499 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: gonna have to start talking about this Rams team, like 500 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: are they gonna be one and none in the playoffs? 501 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: Was that trade worth it? How much pressure is gonna 502 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: be on them, just big picture in the next couple 503 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: of years to make to validate that trade, because if 504 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: they lose this game, the Nighters are only one game 505 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: behind him for the fifth seed now and then they 506 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: got a huge game with Seattle coming up. So I'm 507 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: fired up for this Monday night game. Can't wait to 508 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: react to it. And um, I'll have a big podcast 509 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: for Tuesday talking some Dak talking, some cowboys, talking to 510 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: Micael Parsons, talking some chiefs talking a little uh, some 511 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Oregon Higher Well, I'll dive into that. 512 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: But fraud Meyer, man, fraud Meyer can't help himself. Just 513 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: I just want fred Meyer. Actually, like fred Meyer being 514 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: in in the NFL. I like guys with huge gooes 515 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: that just had to prove it to themselves, Like when 516 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: I see them get exposed, because the Man on the 517 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: Moon could have seen this coming. He had no business 518 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: being in the NFL. It's not like he was a 519 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: play call at least when Lincoln Riley gets hired one day, 520 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: he'll be the offensive coordinator. Urbans just the CEO that 521 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: no one can stand and doesn't even not even sure 522 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. But that's a story that's 523 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: gonna keep on given. I promise you that have a 524 00:27:40,200 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: good week, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Peace. The 525 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: volume
