1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: The volume the Colin Cowherd Podcast brought to you by

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Fan Duel. It's never been easier to play fantasy on

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Fan Duel, whether the love basketball, golf, soccer, or any

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: fantasy sport. There is a contest for every fan Fan

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Duel more ways to win. Hey, this is prime Cuts,

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: the best of the Colin Coward Podcast. More more good stuff.

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: This week, longtime NFL writer Mike Silver discussing Deshaun Watson

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: trade rumors. Bengals head coach Zach Taylor opened up about

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: what makes Joe Burrow tick. My guy Chad Millman tells

10
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: me my picks, sharps or squares in week eight. First

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: my top takes of the week in my business. I

12
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: noticed this a lot, and I don't want to call

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: out anybody individually, but I call it safety. You never

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: get pushback if you're a sportscaster. If you play it safe,

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: you never have a contrarian take. You always go to

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Twitter and oh, mahomes is great. Of course you're going

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: to get no pushback. I take great pride in the

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: fact that I can do a simulcast. In fact, we're

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: the only one in the country is still doing it.

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: I get a number on TV and radio and podcast

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: and digital and Facebook. And the reason is that we're

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: willing to say things and get shipped for it. And

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: I said this a couple of weeks ago. It's very

24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: easy to criticize those who criticize Baker Mayfield. But you

25
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: and I all know this. All the safe takers out there,

26
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: you and I know this, They today would not give

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: him an extension. You know it, and I know it,

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: and I've been saying it for three years and getting

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: shipped for it. But a prime example is Mahomes. Everybody

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: is petrified of criticizing Mahomes on social media because you

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: get pushback. But he's he's getting looser. He is not

32
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the easiest quarterback to coach. Andy Reid's lovable. It's good ownership,

33
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: I think, a smart GM. But right now Kansas City

34
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: is trying to throw haymakers and they don't do a

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: lot of things well. And it's a very thin roster

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: where they pay five or six players top dollar. And

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: some of this, not all of it, not a majority

38
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: of it. But right now, Derek Carr is playing as

39
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: well or better than virtually every quarterback in the league.

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: It's okay to say it and Mahomes isn't perfect. People

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: forget this. He's been in the Super Bowl twice, in

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: seven of the eight quarters, seven of the eight he's

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: been outplayed by Jimmy Garoppolo in a forty four year

44
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: old Tom Brady, I like Mahomes. I do not think

45
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City is a special team this year. I think

46
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: they're bad defensively. The offensive line is a little hit

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: and miss. They've also had injuries. But sometimes times I

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: roll my eyes. It's okay to criticize Patrick Mahomes. He's

49
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: not played as well. He's made some really bad throws.

50
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: In the last fifteen games, the Chiefs are three and

51
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: twelve against the spread. What does that tell you? The

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: media has become the fans. They're overvalue in Kansas City.

53
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: They have not played particularly well in I don't know

54
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: you saw the Super Bowl. You've watched all these preseason games,

55
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: You've watched these regular season games. When a team is

56
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: three and twelve against the spread, they're being wildly overvalued.

57
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: A lot of that is the fans, A lot of

58
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: that is the media. Just because you like Andy Reid

59
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: and because Patrick Mahomes can throw it with his left

60
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: hand doesn't mean they're not fallible. It's okay. You'll get

61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: a little pushback on social media. I roll. That's part

62
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: of the business. If you're not getting pushed back, you're

63
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: not really doing your job. There's a lot of different

64
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: things to talk about. I thought it was interesting that

65
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick not only beat the Jets but rubbed it in.

66
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: They were throwing them all play action passes with three

67
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: minutes left in a thirty point lead. Why. We all

68
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: know he doesn't like the Jets, but he also has

69
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: a deep respect for football history and win or lose.

70
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: Belichick has always done it by respecting the game. Well,

71
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: he was pouring it on the Jets. And my theory

72
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: is this, he wants to make sure that everybody knows

73
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: that the Mac Jones, the quarterback he liked the rookie,

74
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: is a lot better than Zach Wilson. He wants to

75
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: make sure you know that. Secondly, they are no longer

76
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: the Kings, not only of the AFC but the AFC East.

77
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: He is now competing potentially with the Dolphins and the

78
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: Jets for free agents, for coaches. This is no longer

79
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: Bill is at a certain level. Everybody's at a different level.

80
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: He's in a dogfight with the Jets and the Dolphins

81
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: to get that wildcard. Berth and he wants to make

82
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: an imprint around the league is we're good, We're getting better.

83
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: If you're a free agent, if you're a top coach,

84
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: keep your eyes on us. I think you'll see this

85
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the year from Belichick if he has

86
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: a chance, if he smells blood, he's absolutely going to

87
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: pour it on. That's not the Belichick we knew with Brady.

88
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: They had a lot of games with a leading seven

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: minutes to go, and they were running the ball, eating

90
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: the clock and going to bed and getting out of town.

91
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: But I thought it was really interesting to see how

92
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: he not only won but poured it on the Jets

93
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: to make it known there is a gap still between

94
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Jets. We may not win this division,

95
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: but there's still a monster gap between these two franchises.

96
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: Not that I'm cynical, but I tend to look at

97
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: what things can't do before what they can do. And

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. When Zoom came out right,

99
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: we go into a pandemic and everybody loves Zoom, and

100
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I bought some early stock and then I sold it

101
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: and I don't even know what the stock price is.

102
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: And everybody looked at it and thought, oh my god,

103
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: I can work remotely. I don't have to leave the house.

104
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: And my takeaway is yeah, but it can't give me

105
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: perfect audio, like having coffee at Starbucks. It's impersonal. It

106
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: goes in and out. You become very tech dependent. And

107
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: the other thing is about zoom is I like to

108
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: leave the house. People gain weight during the pandemic because

109
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: they didn't leave the house. When I go to work

110
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: every day at Fox, I'm moving around, I'm walking between breaks,

111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to the bathroom, I'm grabbing a coffee, I'm moving,

112
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: I'm walking upstairs. Like zoom. Culture is not terribly healthy,

113
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: and it can be maddeningly frustrating. Same thing with bitcoin.

114
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: People look, oh, what it can do, make me rich.

115
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I look at it and say, what it can't do

116
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: buy me a car tomorrow. I'll put a little money

117
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: in bitcoin, and I think cryptocurrency has a future, But

118
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: what it can't do is buy me things tomorrow, and

119
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: so I'm not interested right now. I've always said this

120
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: about Baker Mayfield. It's what he can't do that limit

121
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. You can't give him forty five to fifty

122
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: throws a day. He's got poor judgment. He plays with

123
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: a cockiness that can be detrimental. You can't have a

124
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: average to below average offensive line and win with them.

125
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: So far, he can't work well with OBJ. I know

126
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: he can throw, but what he can't do is why

127
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: I could never give him the bank. I just think

128
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: too often we look at the cans without realizing the

129
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: can'ts are what limit people? Limit companies limit quarterbacks? All right,

130
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor, third year as a head coach, first place

131
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: in the AFC North, which is just crazy. I picked

132
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: him last. What do I know? Nothing? Absolutely nothing. So, Zach,

133
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: when was the first time you saw Joe Burrow and

134
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: what was your initial impression? Probably the first time I

135
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: heard the name was he was considering going to Cincinnati,

136
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati before he went to LSU. That's

137
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: probably the first time the name popped up. I've known

138
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: his dad for a long time. I knew Dan and

139
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Jamie Burrow, his two brothers that played in Nebraska. I

140
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: didn't know that there was a Joe Borrow that existed,

141
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, until really he transferred LSU and then he

142
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: became part of the draft process and that was really

143
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the first time he ever came on my radar. But

144
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: but I've known his family because they're all Nebraska homes

145
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: and they went to Nebraska and as brothers graduated right

146
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: before me. So I've known the Borough family for a

147
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, my daughter sat next to him in

148
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore this weekend, she went to the game. Bizarre I

149
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: said it. I actually said it to Joe, and I'm

150
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: because I d m him once in a while to

151
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: wish him well. And in the process of drafting him,

152
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: when you're sitting down there with your general manager and

153
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: the Brown family, what could you share with them about

154
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: the family before meeting Joe to say, like, you have

155
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: to draft this guy. Well, you know, I didn't know

156
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: Joe as well obviously, so I had a hard time

157
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: speaking to him. But um, just some of a coach,

158
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, and so you do your research. Okay, what

159
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: does that mean? Does that mean he's a football junkie?

160
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: He grew up, he understands the game, and he's got

161
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: that edge to him, you know that you need to have.

162
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: And those are those are some of the qualities that

163
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: he did have once we got to know him, so um,

164
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, just just it's a tremendous family. You can

165
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: see why Joe is the way he is and we're

166
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: really lucky to have him. Yeah, he has kind of

167
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: a Brady and comparing anybody to Brady is not great,

168
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: but there is. Um. You know, Jay Glazer always said

169
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an unhealthy obsession with successful people,

170
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: whether it be if I'm a broadcaster, you're in tac

171
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: or you're a football player. That I was talking to

172
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez today and he goes, oh God, Joe loves football.

173
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Joe loves football. He likes the process, he likes practice.

174
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: In your years of coaching players, that's not true with everybody.

175
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: Some guys don't love it as much, Zach. I mean,

176
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: if I said to you Joe loves it, what percentage

177
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: of players in your coaching experience live for it like

178
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: a Joe. He's he's a little bit different that way.

179
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, He's got the right edge to him. And

180
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people do just love what football brings

181
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: to their life. They don't necessarily love everything. They're talented

182
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: and it's what's expected of them and they're good at it.

183
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: And they love the things that brings Joe. From my

184
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: time around him, he's obsessed with the process, you know,

185
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: every little detail, and you know it's never perfect for him,

186
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: which is great. That's where you want from your starting quarterback.

187
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: And and it just trickles down to the entirety of

188
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: the team. Everyone's got so much confidence in them. They

189
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: don't want to let him down because he's going to

190
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: put himself to be in a position to be ready.

191
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: And in his teammates you can just get that sense

192
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: they don't want to let him down, and that's the

193
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: standard that we're looking for. Can you get in his

194
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: ear during a game? You know you'll hear these legendary stories,

195
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: Hey we drew it up in the sand, or we

196
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: did a little wiggle we'd never practiced. Are you comfortable

197
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: now occasionally going to a space like that, we're in

198
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: a game situationally you're like, try this, or he offers

199
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: his opinion to you, similarly to do a little wiggle.

200
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that it's off script. Absolutely, you know, we just

201
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: have to make sure it's sound. There's probably been times

202
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: over the two years where we've gotten to him and

203
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: I just hey, are you comfortable with this? If we

204
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: did this, can you see it? You feel good about it?

205
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that I do admire about Joey's

206
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: He's very honest and he's not one of those guys

207
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: who're just gonna yesharre you to death because you think

208
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: that's the answer you want. He'll be very honest. I

209
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't want to do that. I don't

210
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: like that. Please do this, and that's the communication I want.

211
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's an extension of our coaching staff. It

212
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: is different when you're talking to a quarterback. At times

213
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: you want that clear and honest feedback and Joe's not

214
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: afraid to give it to you. And I appreciate that.

215
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: You know that me as a fascinating relationship. I mean

216
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: that you I've seen it without our quarterback comes over

217
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: a coaches like you tell me what you see. A

218
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks, you know, due to the hash marks

219
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: college to pro it takes them a while to see

220
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: the entire field. Could you tell that Joe could see

221
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: it from his film at LSU? Did or did it?

222
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: Did it take him time at practice? Because take me

223
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: and the people listening to this, I think a lot

224
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: of people they just don't realize that's not a natural

225
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: innate thing to be able to have somebody running at

226
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: you and you can see four different receivers. Give me

227
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: the process for Joe on that when he saw it,

228
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: Why he's so good at it, and when you first

229
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: recognized it. Well, I think for Joe, whether it's naturally

230
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: or it came about it in high school, he's just

231
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: got such a high football queue. It makes sense to him.

232
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Just seeing something for the first time makes sense. Oh,

233
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: why it's happening. And so Joe playing in college, you

234
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: know the system they were in. Joe Brady came from

235
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: the Saints. There was a lot of NFL concept, so

236
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: there was a lot of full field progressions. You needed

237
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: to understand the coverage and then understand how the concept

238
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: attacked it. And so you could see that on tape

239
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: how quickly it was going to translate to what we

240
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: do because there's a lot of cross over there with

241
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense. And so we had a good

242
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: feeling just from watching his tape, watching his sixteen games

243
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: or whatever he played, and then interviewing him, you could tell, Hey,

244
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: this guy's got it. He'll quickly pick it up. Our

245
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: first training camp, you know as the COVID training camp.

246
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: He had no offseason, and he hit the ground running

247
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: when we put the pads on, and you could just

248
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: tell this guy's going to be special right from the

249
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: get go. There's a fine line, and I see it

250
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: with Burrow. There's a fun I don't know if the

251
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: words cockiness, but it's really likable, like I like him.

252
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: I think that means something. I'm not going to mention names,

253
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: but there have been quarterbacks who are cocky and I

254
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: just I'm like, I don't know, find like them. I

255
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: watched Brady and Peyton, Manning and Eli last night on

256
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: TV give each other crap. All of them I found

257
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: incredibly likable. I mean, like, even in there as Peyton

258
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: was digging into Tom, I'm laughing. It's like a comedy

259
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: act there. There's something about Joe to me, I don't

260
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: want to reach here, but there's a likable. There's a

261
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: likability about him, and I don't know what. I don't

262
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: know what that means or how it manifests itself on

263
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: the field, but I see it in all of his interviews.

264
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: What am I seeing? You're seeing a guy that really

265
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: doesn't care what other people think. And so he doesn't

266
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: feel like he's got to put on an act to

267
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: impress people just because he's in the spot. Right, He's

268
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: just a Joe And that's just his personality. He's confident

269
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: because he puts on the work and uh, you know

270
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't run from that. Yeah, he's got the right

271
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: edge to him. But but I just think that the

272
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: most important thing is he's not out there to impress people.

273
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: He's just he just wants to be one of the guys. Um,

274
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: he's a guy that works already, plays well in the field,

275
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and he's just himself and and and you know that's

276
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: that's a that's a cool thing to be around. You

277
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: guys went and got a wide receiver, not an offensive lineman,

278
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: and it was you know, it was a mixed reaction.

279
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the draft, but there's no right

280
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: answers the greatest coaches of whift on first round picks.

281
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's it's not science here at all. Take

282
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: me back to the discussions, because it was obviously a

283
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: great move and Jamar's amazing. Joe was vocal about it,

284
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: verbal about it. This guy's unbelievable. Was it a long decision?

285
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Was it something you went back and forth on that.

286
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, take me to the process of that. Yeah,

287
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of discussions. You know, you only had

288
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: to pick five players because we were picking fifth, so

289
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: you didn't need to have a conversation about thirty guys.

290
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, you knew it was going to be one

291
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: of the five and there's a couple of quarterbacks that

292
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: we're going to come off the board, So we took

293
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: our time. There was no need to make a decision

294
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: before April hit. You know, we were going to use

295
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: all three months of it. But the most important thing

296
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: is we need to be more explosive. You know, the

297
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: relationship with him and Joe weighed into it a little bit.

298
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: That wasn't a deciding factor. We need to be more explosive.

299
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Having a great explosive receiver helps your offensive line as well.

300
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: So not only does it help your quarterback, only do

301
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: to help your offensive line, always to help your defense

302
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: because you can score more points and take some of

303
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: the pressure off of them. So at the end of

304
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: the day, you look at a lot of championship offenses

305
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: that have had stollar quarterbacks, and a lot of them

306
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: had had three really good receivers and defenses couldn't hone

307
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: in on them, and so that's that's our point of attack.

308
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Has put a lot of weapons out there, and I mean,

309
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: you look at Jamar Chase's eight year A touchdown the

310
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: other the day was a slant route. That's a quick game.

311
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: A lineman don't have to protects very long and I

312
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: don't have to call any extravagant play. I called a

313
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: slant flat for eighty yards. You know, it doesn't get

314
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: much easier than that, and so you know, we're obviously

315
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: very happy with the decision. Hey, the NFL season is

316
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: approaching the halfway point. Fandels Sports Book is a little

317
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: something different to offer for the Sunday Night matchup between

318
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: Dallas and Minnesota. Listen up. FanDuel's given new customers twenty

319
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: five to one odds on any touchdown scored in the game.

320
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: What does that mean? It means you can end the

321
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: NFL Sunday Night by winning one hundred and twenty five

322
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: dollars on a five dollars bet. Okay, I like Dallas

323
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: minus one and a half if Dak Scott plays, I

324
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: like Zeke getting a touchdown. Kirk Cousins shrinks on standalone

325
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: games Dallas is now running at a higher percentage than

326
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: all but three teams. With Dak and his calf strain,

327
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: there'll be more run reliant. Take the Cowboys minus the

328
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: one and a half. Fanduels the number one and ready

351
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, love having you on. Let's start um.

352
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: So the Miami situation now. Jay Glazer joined the reporting

353
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson they're working on making a move two up,

354
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: has completed seventy five percent of his throws in the

355
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: last two weeks. He had two god awful picks though

356
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: against Atlanta, and you know they've made their decision. Teammates

357
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't name him captain. He was benched three times, he

358
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: was hurt. I mean, they've made their decisions. They see

359
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: practice stuff we don't. He's not the guy. There's not

360
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: a lot of it. There is there anybody else with

361
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: your labyrinth of sources. I got to believe Philadelphia has

362
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: to consider it, Washington has to consider it, regardless of

363
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: my personal opinion on Deshaun Watson in the story. Let's

364
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: just talk from football operations. Is Miami the only team

365
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: involved here? You know, I think Carolina comes back into play.

366
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: And I know Matt Will has tried to go out

367
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: of his way to say, hey, I'm all in on

368
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Matt or on Sam Darnold, but he bitched Sam Darnold,

369
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: you know today, So yeah, I you know, it's a

370
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: it's a complicated equation. I don't think the Eagles will

371
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: ultimately do it because I think at the highest levels

372
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: of that organization they will ultimately say, you know, there's

373
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: just too much we don't know. They're the overtones of

374
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: what he's accused of doing. There is the possibility of

375
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: league discipline and also legal discipline potentially that could factor in,

376
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: and you're really really giving up a lot. And yeah,

377
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they won't, but really this is an

378
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: ownership decision, right ultimately, right, right, And so what I

379
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: don't know that Jeffrey Lory ultimately, when he sees that equation,

380
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: he got a Super Bowl his holy grail a few

381
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: years ago. He knows they're trying to build it back up.

382
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Does he think if they give up all that for

383
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson they're back right now? I don't know, And

384
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: then you don't know if you have them. David Tepper,

385
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: the Panther's owner, clearly just wants to take home own

386
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: soys right and yes and hell, and he'll handle the blowback.

387
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: He's like, look, man, you had an owner who was

388
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: accused of stuff and we got rid of him, so

389
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, don't worry about the Deshaun Watson thing. I'll

390
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: handle that. So I think that's a possibility. And Miami

391
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: you have an older owner, Stephen Ross, and you have

392
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: now a coach Brian Flores, who all of a sudden

393
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: feels pressure. And I don't think it's as much Chris Greer,

394
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: the GM. He's done a great job of getting them

395
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: the ammunition to build it. But I think it's it's

396
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: more of a Brian Flores call as to who gets

397
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: actually picked. And you know, my friend and former colleague

398
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Darlington VSPN brought up a really good point a

399
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: week ago, which is Brian Flores seems to be in

400
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: that same pattern. We've seen many Dolphin coaches in the

401
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: Ross era have, which is early on whoa like Tony Sperrato, Wow,

402
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: hey they won the division. Look at that Adam Gaze,

403
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: Hey got him to the playoffs? Like, look at what's

404
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: going on here? And last year Brian Flores, you know,

405
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: some big wins and nearly going to the playoffs. So

406
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: now you look at Brian Flores and you're like, what

407
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: is the plan? What's going on? And then the last thing,

408
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: and you and I have talked about this a lot.

409
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: It's one thing. If you try it, you pick two

410
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: of that high and it's not going great early, but

411
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: you can't help. But look to your left and to

412
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: your right, and that's Joe Burrow went one. Okay, he

413
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: went one, but that's a home run right there. And

414
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: then Justin Herbert went right after to him, and that's

415
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: maybe a slab. And so you have to view the

416
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: two a pick through that prison. Yeah, the aesthetics are

417
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: really bad because fans keep score the draft. Now it's

418
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: not like a hockey draft, it's not like a baseball draft.

419
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: It gets bigger ratings than NBA playoff games. So we

420
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: everybody watches it. You know, these are guys from Oregon

421
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: and LSU and Alabama. We all know these guys, and

422
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: we know, you know, the standings on the Dolphins and

423
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: where they chose. So Raiders post Gruden, they're playing with

424
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: an incredible energy. I'm not I'm you know, we know

425
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: the interim coaches. That's often the case up conspiracy theory,

426
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders leaked the emails because they wanted Rich for

427
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: such a kidding obviously I'm speaking of Jess, but you know,

428
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: you're right. They're they're playing really, really well at a

429
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: time when they could have easily uh you know, started

430
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: open been discompopulated. Yeah. It also points to the fact that,

431
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: and this goes back to sort of a cultural reality,

432
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: this is a quarterback league more than ever. Derek Carr's good.

433
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: He's got you know, seven to eight legitimate weapons with

434
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: Darren Waller healthy or not. And the truth is it

435
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: overcomes a lot of shortcomings. I said this last week.

436
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: TWA can win games, but what you're looking for two

437
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: is not the problem. But he's not the solution. The

438
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: solution in the NFL is a great quarterback. He minimizes

439
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: all your problems. Injuries, bad free agent signings, draft picks right,

440
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: and we all struggle with Derek Carr because he came

441
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: from Fresno State. He wasn't a first rounder. The team

442
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: was bad initially. Do we have to come to the

443
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: point where we just go shit, Derek's a top ten quarterback,

444
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: by the way, I've come to terms with that with

445
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. He throws a better ball today than two

446
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: years ago. I think Derek's one of those. He's good. Well, here,

447
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: I'll give you both sides on Derek. You know, what

448
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: you said is what they think. He might not be

449
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: the difference, you know, point us over the top, but

450
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: we can definitely win with him now. So some things

451
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: have changed, right. The defense is better with Gus Bradley,

452
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: with the guys they brought in. That's a big deal. Um,

453
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: greg Olsen has called two really good games with John Gruden. Gun,

454
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: let's give offensivecording to Greg Olson some credit. He is

455
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: stepping up to this challenge. So we look at Rich Bisasha,

456
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: but we also look at you know, John Gruden's been

457
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: replaced as a play caller too, and that's gone. Well, Um,

458
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: they don't believe Derek always is the you know, toughest,

459
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, guy into you know, and I know he's

460
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: been physically tough. I just think they think their times

461
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: where he isn't your Yeah, but I the pro Derek Carr,

462
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: and I've been saying this for years. Look at this

463
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: guy's comeback record. Look at start looking at the numbers

464
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: of how many times Derek Carr, because I've been in

465
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: a lot of these games where he brought them back

466
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: in clutch situations, and one if I was a player

467
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: on that team, I would believe in Derek Carr just

468
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: off that he is really really clutch. So it's exciting.

469
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: What's going on with the Raiders John Bruden. You know

470
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: when he first struck me the first time around, he

471
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: did something transformative. They had an organization that was paranoid,

472
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: the worlds against us, kind of Moby when things got

473
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: down and he came in and just said shut up,

474
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna play hard. And they remember they beat the

475
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs his first or second year at the end of

476
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: the year when they were out of it in the

477
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs needed to win on the road, and I was like,

478
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: what has gone on with the Raiders while he built

479
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: them into what ultimately would be a super Bowl team,

480
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: although in his absence and then he beat them. But

481
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's his legacy this time around, for all the

482
00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: horrific overtones of his exit, maybe with Rich Massacci and

483
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen and Guts Bradley and those players, they're not

484
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: open in the wake of John Gruden's departure the way

485
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: Mark Davis seemed to be. By the way, ask the NFL.

486
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: They have all the answers, you know, at a time

487
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: when it's called for bold statements and leadership, and you know,

488
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Al Davis's sense of equality and inclusion and social justice

489
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: and hearing me defend Al Davis is going to make

490
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: a lot of people laugh if you know our history.

491
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: But Al Davis was, you know, phenomenal at that stuff.

492
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: So Mark Davis kind of came off terrible, like the

493
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: whole world's a kids does late was better the second time.

494
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: But give credit to those players, those coaches, they put

495
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: their heads down and play hard. Yeah all right, Chad Milman,

496
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: my buddy, chief content officer, Action Network, So let me

497
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: start with this week. I like the Cowboys minus one

498
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: and a half at the Vikings. One of the reasons

499
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: is in standalone games, Kirk Cousins historically shrinks. I also

500
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: think the calf injury for Dak Prescott is an advantage.

501
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are at their best when they run the

502
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: football about fifty five to fifty seven percent of the time.

503
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: Because of the calf injury, they will Zeke and Tony

504
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: Pollard will get lots of work. They're healthy upfront. I

505
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys, this is the only team that's covered

506
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: the spread. Why they're still undervalued. I like them to

507
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings Sharper square, Melman square. And the reason

508
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: you went to in three last week is because you

509
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: probably and listen to me and everything I was saying,

510
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: because I didn't go too and three last week. In

511
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: my best five, I went three and two and three

512
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: and two over the course of the season. That's how

513
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: you put money in your pocket. So this is a

514
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: square pick, my friend. It's a square like in a

515
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino movie. It is square. The Vikings defense is

516
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: top ten across a variety of metrics. You mentioned Dak

517
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: Prescott and the calf injury. Dak Prescott has not been

518
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: pressured much this year. When he is pressured, he is

519
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: not a very good quarterback. And the Vikings defense, while

520
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: they haven't been forcing a lot of turnovers. They are

521
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: able to pressure the quarterback and do it effectively. That's

522
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for a guy who has

523
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: a calf injury. What's most impressive though about the Vikings

524
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: defenses their top ten in a variety of metrics without

525
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: forcing a lot of turnovers, which is really all the

526
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been doing on defense, and it's sort of

527
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: made everything else shine a little bit brighter. And so

528
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: you're talking about a defense that is good, fundamentally good,

529
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: not getting the value against a defense that is not

530
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: so good getting a lot of attention. That's why the line,

531
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: even though the Cowboys are the team getting the majority

532
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: of the bets here, it's moved in the opposite direction.

533
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: You've got a reverse line move here, so the Vikings

534
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: are the right side in this game. A couple of

535
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: the things. You know some Mike Zimmer stats against non

536
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: division opponents since two thousand and three, he's forty eight

537
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty six and once about sixty five. He's also about

538
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: sixty percent against the spread at home. So most wise, guys,

539
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: they've got this power rated aad closer to a coin flip.

540
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: One other thing you have to think about Dallas is

541
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: undefeated against the spread six and oh right, this has

542
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: only happened six other times this late in the season

543
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: in the past twenty years. So you have to ask yourself,

544
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: are the Cowboys due for an aggression with a defense

545
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: that commits a lot of that forces a lot of turnovers,

546
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: but isn't that great otherwise? Or are they unbeatable? I'm

547
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: going to take a Vikings team at home that performs

548
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: well with a good defense, which one more thing. One

549
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: more thing, I will say, look at the Vikings losses

550
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: right now. Two of them are against two teams that

551
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: we now see as being two of the better teams

552
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, the Cardinals and the Bengals, two games

553
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: that they should have won. So it's a team that

554
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: would they really be two point hunderdogs or wanting to

555
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: have pine nundogs if they were five and one with

556
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: wins over the Bengals and the Cardinals, probably not take

557
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Okay, I always ask you this. The Atlanta

558
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: game to me was incredibly tasty, but I've been burned

559
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: so many times I'm a little scared. Is there a

560
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: game that I have not discussed that you have a

561
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: strong feeling about for our audience. Love Love, Love the Saints.

562
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: Love the Saints this week against the Bucks numbers about

563
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: five and a half. It's been going up. This is

564
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: going to be another pro Joe game. The pros are

565
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: going to be on the Saints. The Joe's are going

566
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: to be on the Bucks. The Saints defense is just really,

567
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: really good, and we've seen Tom Brady struggle more on

568
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: the road we've seen with the Saints because of what

569
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: they did against the Seahawks. They're a little bit deflated

570
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: from a primetime game. You mentioned the Bucks blowing out

571
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the Bears as huge favorites when a lot of people

572
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: thought the Bears would be able to cover in that

573
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: game that we didn't know yet what the Bear we're

574
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: going to be. So you're getting a huge amount of

575
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: inflation on the box, you're getting deflation on the Saints.

576
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: You've got a really good defense. I think it's a

577
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: great coaching matchup. I like taking the Saints in this spot.

578
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: So that's certainly a game that I'm thinking quite a

579
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: bit about. So here's here's my callin theory of the Week.

580
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: So I had a question to Tom Brady this week.

581
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: I was on some zoom call and there was like

582
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: fifteen of us or twelve of us, you know, Jim

583
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: Nance and Scott ben Pelt and Adam Schefter, those kind

584
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: of guys, right, And then somehow I snuck on and

585
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: I asked Tom, if you could make one rule change

586
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL, what would it be. What it could be,

587
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: CBA offseason rule change, whatever, a radical change in the league.

588
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: And he said, Colin, my good friend. He didn't say that.

589
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: He said the NFL is becoming a skills competition, that

590
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: if you have a good quarterback, it's virtually impossible to stop.

591
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: He goes my six hundred touchdown, Mike Evans. I would

592
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: not have thrown that ball five years ago. But the

593
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: safety can't hit anybody. And he said, and I noticed

594
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: this two weeks ago. I told this to you. The

595
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: best quarterback one thirteen of fourteen games. Two weeks ago.

596
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: If Josh Allen doesn't slip, it's fourteen of fourteen. There

597
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: are fewer upsets in the league, the margin of victory.

598
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: These lines now are often Saturday lines. The best quarterback

599
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: lead seven of eight divisions. The only exception is Mahomes.

600
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: And it's not like Herbert and Derek Carr are slouches

601
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: that between the regulations and the lack of really good

602
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: corner talent. Steve Kimes talk to me about this. The

603
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: best quarterback now is just winning all the games, like

604
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: the Dallas Minnesota game. To me comes down to I

605
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: like dact more than Kirk Cousins. I'm having my worst

606
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: year ever betting. I hit fifty seven percent almost every

607
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: year for fifteen years. Last year's a COVID year. No preseason.

608
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: I threw it out. I have friends who bet a

609
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: lot they can't hit, and the I'm throwing a lot

610
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: of stuff out I've never done. I've never bet big numbers.

611
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: I always my betting theory was always take competent quarterbacks

612
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: getting points. Well, competent's not good enough anymore. And Brady

613
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: went on to say when he came into the league,

614
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: even ten years ago, he goes, you could win multiple ways.

615
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: You can't anymore. You can win one way. We have

616
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback in weapons. That's how you win. He goes.

617
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: When I started with New England, when we played finesse teams,

618
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: we want every time, highly skilled teams, but Pittsburgh would

619
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: beat us. They were nearly as highly skilled, but they

620
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: were physical. Well. When you take the physical out of it.

621
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: It's just a seven on seven skills competition and he goes.

622
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: Even though I'm benefiting. I don't like where the league's headed.

623
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: And so that's just kind of my theory on it. This.

624
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: All the things I've always used aren't working. I mean,

625
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: I've never bet thirty eight percent in my life. I

626
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: was at fifty seven my life. I can't get anything

627
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: now your takeaway in this, dude, There's so much to

628
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: unpack there. I don't know if I want to talk

629
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: about the Hall of Fame level of name dropping from

630
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: kids to Van Pelt, to Chef, to Russians to Brady.

631
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: I can't believe like this call happened and I'm just

632
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: hearing about it now. That's amazing. The Saturday lines, that's

633
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: such a great inside baseball reference to like these lines

634
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: looking like college football lines, because every Saturday you'll see

635
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: a twenty one point spread and in the NFL you'd

636
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: never see that. And last weekend we had the Cardinals

637
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: as twenty point favorites and they freaking covered, and you

638
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: make an incredible point. I will bet every single weekend

639
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: with my best friend growing up a huge fan of yours.

640
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: By the way and every year. The reason we bet

641
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: together is because we do it head to head, and

642
00:34:54,360 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: I crush him because I bet home dogs, I bet huge,

643
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: I bet dogs that were huge underdogs against teams that

644
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: look like they were world beaters. And he would do

645
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: what the public does. He bet favorites. He didn't didn't

646
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: matter whatever team was better, that's wh who's going to bet.

647
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: And this year, like everything's been turned upside down and

648
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: it's been really challenging. The books are getting killed, right

649
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: because the books love when the big underdogs win. And

650
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: last week, like you had the Lions and that was it.

651
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: The Cardinals killed the Texans, the Bucks killed the Bears,

652
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: the Packers, the Packers killed the Washington football team, like

653
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: and the Tennessee Titans were like the one team that

654
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: the public was backing that wasn't a huge favorite and

655
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: they won. So it's been a really challenging year for

656
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people to bet. I think what you're

657
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: talking about with the skills certainly has something to do

658
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 1: with it. It's incredibly frustrating to watch football right now.

659
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Almost inevitably there is going to be a holding call

660
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: or a pass interference call in a series that is

661
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: going your direction. It's incredibly challenging to bet. I feel

662
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: terrible for you. I feel terrible for a lot of people.

663
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: The game is changing before our eyes and we have

664
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: to adjust on the fly, you know. Like for instance,

665
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo minus thirteen and a half hosting the Dolphins, Well,

666
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are distracted with the two and nonsense. They

667
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: have the worst pass blocking line in the league. The

668
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: Bills have the deepest defensive front in the league, where

669
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: they rotate eight to nine guys. I would have never

670
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: considered that game, and part of me is like, oh, yeah,

671
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: a totally focused Bills team is going to run them

672
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: out of the stadium. Yeah. I've had this conversation multiple

673
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: times with professional betters this week. I've said, who do

674
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: you like in this game? It's such a weird game,

675
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, I like the Bills. I'm like, really,

676
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: you like the Bills, And I'm like thirteen and a

677
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: half point favorite against a team that like needs a win.

678
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: It's overinflated. The Bills are going to be the public side,

679
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: and they're like, sometimes the public's right. And also the

680
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: Bills average like winning the beating the Dolphins by twenty

681
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: points during the McDermott career. We're during the McDermot era,

682
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: so like it's changing and sometimes the right side is

683
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: the public side, and we all got to get used

684
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: to that, all right, Buddy, go Sein seeing my friend
