1
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middletoff three and Out

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Podcast one, seven to six, still on the third quarter.

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: I just had the pressroom the whore because I I

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: Am not waiting until this game is over. It it

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: was really over probably you know at halftime. This the

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Pretty big embarrassment tonight. But obviously the story

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: of the game is Patrick Mahomes and is dislocated kneecap

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: as of recording it. That's all I know, potentially only

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: two or three weeks. But we'll dive into that. And

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: here in a second, Uh, we're gonna talk about the

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: Rams and the trade for Jalen Ramsey, the Jacksonville and

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: just there hideous track record of drafting players in the

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: top five because from fourteen fifteen, sixteen, none of them

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: are now on the team and it all happened to

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: be on the Rams. And seventeen is Leonard Fournette. So

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: they aren't exactly uh hitting home runs with their top

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: draft picks right now. They did with Jalen Ramsey, but

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: the guy didn't want to stay. Then I'm gonna dive

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: into Jim Harbaugh. He's got any enormous game at Penn

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: State where he's a big underdog. He could shake a

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: little bit of this reputation that's taken a hit with

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: a big win and he hasn't had a big win

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: in in a while. And then, like always, go through

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the weekends games, just you know, a couple of minutes

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: on each game things I see, things I'm excited for,

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: maybe the storyline that we're looking for. And then uh,

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff is my Instagram handle.

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: You slide up into those d ms at John middlecoffs

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: my Insta and my Twitter, but my Insta d ms

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: are wide open. And then I'll answer your question here

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: like I do on every podcast. But let's start with tonight.

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: You know when it looked like, let's start with this

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: they called a quarterback sneak. Patrick Mahomes had a bad ankle.

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Twitter freaks. How could he call a quarterback sneak? We

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: didn't hurt his ankle, some freak deal somehow he dislocated

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: his knee, Like, if you're healthy enough to play and

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: he was actually moving around, what is he supposed to

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: not call certain placed? Like I I don't know what

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: to say. It's like I heard the same thing when

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant came back from his calf injury and then

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: towards achilles. He shouldn't have been out there well in

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: the game that he was out there, that he tore

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: his achilles. He had like fifteen points in three minutes tonight.

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was slinging the ball left and right and

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: look freaking awesome. They ran a quarterback sneak and I

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: know troys like, I don't know if I do that,

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: but he didn't end up hurting his ankle. So is

48
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: that Andy's fault that he dislocates his knee. I've never

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: seen a quarterback dislocated his knee on a quarterback sneak.

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: I saw the replay several times, and from my vantage

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: point maybe I'm blind, I don't really see how it happened,

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: but it clearly did. He walked off the the field.

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: I think we're all you know, Patrick Mahomes is box

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: office right now. He's Steph Curry, he's Leonardo DiCaprio. He

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: drives eyeballs. I want Patrick Mahomes to play. So the

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: latest information that I have that everyone has on Twitter

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: from doctors, this dislocated kneecap I know sources. People around

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the team have said that best case scenario right now,

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. Now. They won't know till the

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: m r I tomorrow their torn ligaments. So I think

61
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: all we can do is knock on wood. Because I

62
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: talked about the football for a living. I want people

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: like Patrick Mahomes on the field, and with him off

64
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: the field, Matt More and them just earn't his interesting

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: Now They're five and two because they just beat the

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: crap out of Denver. They still got three games Chargers,

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Oakland and Denver at home boom. That's eight wins. Nine

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: wins would win this division with ease. There are other

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: parts of their schedule are pretty tough. They play the Bears,

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: they play the Patriots. They do have the Titans on there.

71
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: Like even with Matt Moore, I think this team would

72
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: make the playoffs now instead of winning fourteen games or

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: thirteen games Mahomes, they'd probably win nine or ten, but

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: nine games in the a f C West with which

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: is awful and people have middle couff. What about the Raiders, Well,

76
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders play the Packers this week. That's an L.

77
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Then they play Houston that's an L. Then they played Detroit.

78
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: You think the Raiders are better than the Detroit Lions,

79
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: They could easily. They're three and two right now before

80
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: you look up, they could be three and five. And

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs already smoked him and they get him in

82
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City, So let's pump the brakes. The Chargers are

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: terrible and the Broncos are worse. The f cust just

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: turns out to not be very good this year, which

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. I thought it was gonna be

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: really good. It's not that happens sometimes, but the loss

87
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: tonight was it shows you when you have a player

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: of that level and he's not as accomplished as Kevin Durant.

89
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: But when Kevin Durant went down in the finals and

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: it became kind of evident, like did he just there's

91
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Achilles and the whole place just go silent. Now actually

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Toronto boot him, but you know, just everyone on their couch,

93
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a gut punch. You don't want to see them.

94
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: We watched Pro Sports for Kevin to rant. For Patrick Mahomes.

95
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't watch it from Matt More. You couldn't pay

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: me to watch Matt More. He'll like turn off. I'm

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna turn off my television right now. Third quarter. I'm

98
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna turun the Yankee game. I'm not watching Matt Moore

99
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco. We don't pay to watch the you

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: know they're terrible, it's gross. I want to watch Patrick

101
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Rating show. You do too. You want

102
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: to watch Russell Wilson. You want to watch Aaron Rodgers,

103
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: you want to watch Tom Brady. We all do. There's

104
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: a reason why the highest rated NBA games ever included

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's. The highest rated golf tournaments ever include Tiger Woods.

106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Those are the people we all want to watch because

107
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: they're the best by a mile. And losing him the

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: night when it felt like four a split second, did

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: he just hears a c L I was like six

110
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: to my stomach, And not just because I'm friends with

111
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: the guys that run this team and coach this team.

112
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Because as a fan of football, my favorite players in

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: my thirty five years of life have been like Steve Young, Gerry,

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Rice ray Lewis, Brett Farve, now Tom Brady and Manning,

115
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: Like those are the guys I liked. So if I

116
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: like those and I'm like a nerd about it, and

117
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: watch all these games. What do you think the casual

118
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: fan likes? So, of course, I mean, I I'm still

119
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: kind of at a loss. I don't even know what

120
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: to say. It sucks, but classic Twitter. Everyone crushing him.

121
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: He's on the field, he's playing. It's a quarterback sneak.

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: He's falling five ft or not even five ft five,

123
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, five yeah, five feet max. He's just kind

124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: of laying down to get him first down, and his

125
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: kneecap just locates. I've never I've never seen that. I

126
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: don't remember many quarterbacks on the short sneak like that,

127
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: not like a quarterback draw where you're getting hit, like

128
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: just the quarterback sneak get hurt, Let alone have a

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: serious injury, and if he is only out two or

130
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: three weeks. The Chiefs did avoid disaster. But the other

131
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: problem is my Holmes has looked a little off. You know,

132
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: his ankles messed up. Now he looked a lot better tonight.

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: Right before he got hurt, they were, you know, it

134
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: was having to feel like, are they gonna win this game?

135
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Forty two nothing? Or I guess they already they scored first,

136
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: so it would have been like forty seven Mahomes was hot.

137
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't block, you know, for Flacco. But you know

138
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: the whole game, isn't it crazy? And how powerful it is,

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: How the game becomes irrelevant after a guy goes down

140
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: of that magnitude, like you just don't watch the rest

141
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: of the game. You're just kind of kind of shell shock.

142
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: You know when you just think of major players, especially quarterbacks,

143
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: when they get hurt early in a game, it's like,

144
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: what just happened? You know? I think it's we're all

145
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: fans of the sport if you're listening to this podcast

146
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: or just maybe a fan of me, but man, that

147
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: was that'll put even the people that talk for a

148
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: living like me had a loss for words. Okay, let's

149
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: dive into uh, I think what's fair to say? And

150
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: one of the biggest trades in NFL history, you know,

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: if Khalil Mack was one of them, this one was.

152
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: This topped it because the Jacksonville Jaguars received more for

153
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey then the Raiders did for Khalil Mack. Two

154
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: first round picks and a fourth rounder. Where the Raiders

155
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: got two first rounders, they had to give a second

156
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: rounder and they get the Bear's third rounder. So it's uh,

157
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: it was a historic hall. And I think it's fair

158
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: to say that Jalen Ramsey is a special, special talent.

159
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: But I think we have to look at this two

160
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: different ways. One from a business perspective. And when I

161
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: worked in the NFL, I just thought about players and

162
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: just players under the umbrella of like the salary cap,

163
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: who we could add, who we couldn't add. I never

164
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: really thought about the marketing of the sport, the power

165
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: of marketing of the sport. And ever since I've been

166
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: doing this because I got out of the league, the media,

167
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: uh side, I realized how powerful that is and it's

168
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of the business of the sport. Now I

169
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: got into this for the sport, but now I do

170
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: enjoy both sides. And I understand where l A having

171
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: been born and raised in California, and the l A

172
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: market is even different than us up here. But you

173
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: have to not just be good, but you have to

174
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: be relevant to keep people coming back. And for years

175
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, who you know, for like the majority

176
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: of my college career, and then years after that from

177
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: like you know, when they started getting shitty in the

178
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: early two thousands, their games were blacked out locally because

179
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: they couldn't sell them out. Historic team who had just

180
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: been winning with Gruden, they traded group. They couldn't sell

181
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: out games, games blacked out television. You see the Chargers

182
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: who moved to l A that they can't they can't

183
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: even sniff a sellout without the other team's fans showing up. Hell,

184
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: you saw last week and I know Colin talked about

185
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: it this week that there were more Niner fans at

186
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: the game than the Rams, Which isn't that show There

187
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: are more Niner fans in this state. I've said it

188
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: over and over by a wide margin than any other

189
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: team and when you probably combine all the other teams,

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: but in that market, the number one team in that

191
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: market is the Los Angeles Lakers. And they have kind

192
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: of set the tone and set the brand of we

193
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: go star hunting. That's all they care about. They tried

194
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: to build through the draft and it was a royal

195
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: debacle the last four or five years. They go star hunting.

196
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: That's the brand. That's what l A does. It's a

197
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: star driven you know, uh community really and it's different.

198
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot different in Northern California, like our richest

199
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: people were hoodies and drive electric cars. But like people

200
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: get bored fast, very very fast. And I'm not one

201
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: of those people. It's why I had a lot in

202
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: common when I lived in Philly. I'm much more of

203
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: just a die hard sports guy. But most of my

204
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: friends aren't. And the moment they get bored, they'll switch

205
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: the channel. And we've never had more options in two

206
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen to watch different things, to do different rings

207
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: and in l A. And I think Gruden and the

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna feel this in Vegas. You gotta have

209
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: some star power where people just won't give a ship.

210
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: It's it's really that black and white. So I get

211
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: it from the business perspective. You roll two first round

212
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: picks for a star, star player, and you can put

213
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: billboards all around l A. You've got four billboard players right,

214
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: one of them is your coach, Sean McVeigh. You can

215
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: put everywhere the quarterback who just sees the quarterback whether

216
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: he's good enough, and we'll dive into him and in

217
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: a second, and then Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey. So

218
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: you kind of roll it out like a basketball team.

219
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: The problem in football is it's not basketball, and three

220
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: or four guys can't carry you. It's actually a sport

221
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: of depth, and it's really a quarterback league and then

222
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: a depth league. And I think when you dive in

223
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: and I did to the Rams cap space, it's gonna

224
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: get pretty interesting because they kind of did this move. Yeah,

225
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: for the future, but they're in this little window trying

226
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: to win a championship this year or next year. And

227
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: here's the problem. They gave Jared Goff million dollars. That

228
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: was insane. He's not a ten million dollar quarterback. And

229
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: I like Jared Goff, I would have offered him like

230
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: eight five million, hung up the phone. What the hell

231
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: is he gonna do? Walk that. This isn't the NBA.

232
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: I control your rights. You have a fifth year option.

233
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Then I'll start franchise attacking you, Like where are you

234
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: gonna go? Good luck, buddy Again, I'm a Jared Goff

235
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: fand ten million is is absolutely insane. But here's the

236
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: main problem. Aaron Donald's a Max guy. He has a

237
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract, ninety million dollars guaranteed. Jalen Ramsey,

238
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: who I was actually told is okay playing next year

239
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: on the fifth year option, which I think is insane.

240
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Like to me, it's too risky. The sport is too risky.

241
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: You can shatter and knee and be shot at a

242
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: moment's notice. It's why Aaron Donald and Khalil mac demanded

243
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: they get a contract. They weren't thirty forty million dollar players.

244
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: They were ninety million dollar players. They were on quarterback level.

245
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: And so is this guy. So I know that they've

246
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: told the Rams that, but you know, can you imagine

247
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: if he gets nicked up throughout this season, maybe he'll

248
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: have second thoughts. I would not recommend doing that. But

249
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: even if he plays next year in his fifth year option,

250
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: which is thirteen point seven million dollars, they have a

251
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollar cap hit in uh In, Jared Goth,

252
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, Aaron Donald and and Todd Gurley. Those four

253
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: guys account for forty seven percent of the cap. And

254
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: the issue is not Aaron Donald's He's worth every penny.

255
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: It's actually Brandon Cooks, who's a good player, not worth

256
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: sixteen point eight million dollars. But the main issues Jared

257
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Goth and Jared GoF is good enough when your team

258
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: is stacked, when you have Todd Gurley Humming. But they

259
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: invested in Todd Gurley too early and now he's not good,

260
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: and it's you can't the problem with a salary cap,

261
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: you can't just be all sunk cost. It actually cost

262
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: them next year more money to cut him. Their dead

263
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: cap number would be over twenty five million than just

264
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: to keep him at his number, which is like seventeen million.

265
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: It makes more sense to keep a guy who's not

266
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: even that good anymore. They're kind of screwed, so their

267
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: cap in these next two year window kind of limits

268
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: what they can do. So they're gonna need Jared Goff.

269
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: I think all the like Jalen Ramsey doesn't have pressure.

270
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: He's just an elite player. He's gonna play Aaron Donald,

271
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: no pressure. He's an elite player. He dominates. Those two

272
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get the job done. To me, the

273
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: pressure is squarely on Jared Goff, who makes a hundred

274
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: and ten million dollars guaranteed, you gotta play like an

275
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: elite guy. Bro no more throwing for seventy eight yards.

276
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: And I defended Jared Goff in that game. He had

277
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: no time. But that's the other problem with the cap.

278
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: This is not an uncapped league, you have to use

279
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: that money to get lineman. Now, they don't have any

280
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: first round picks, so how are they gonna draft lineman?

281
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: I The reality is with offensive lineman, most of the

282
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: top guys go pretty early, so they are really gonna

283
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: have to hit on their mid round picks because they're

284
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna need cost you know, uh, cost controlled assets. And

285
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: when you hit on fifth, six, seventh rounders, they're not

286
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: just cost controlled assets. They're cheap and they're Sean McVeigh

287
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: is gonna have to figure some things out. Like, Sean,

288
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: you can't keep doing what you've been doing because your

289
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: quarterback in your offense has been figured out a little

290
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: bit and you're not gonna be able that. You don't

291
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: have much wiggle room, like this is kind of your squad,

292
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: give or take a guy. So you're gonna have to

293
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: either install some new plays, figure out a way to

294
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: get golf health, uh, you know, more productive. You're gonna

295
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: have to do something to me. This pressure is squarely

296
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: on those two guys, because Brandon Cooks is what he is.

297
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley shot, that's that's just that's just a reality.

298
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey do what they do they dominate.

299
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: But two guys. If you line up Aaron Donald that

300
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: right defensive tackle and Jalen Ramsey's at right cornerback, do

301
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: you know what I do? If I was Kyle Shanahan,

302
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: I'd call either a run to the left or I'd

303
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: throw to the left. It's one thing when you got

304
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: three or four defensive players, which you're kind of seeing

305
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: with the Niners, you're seeing with the Patriots, you saw

306
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: the last couple of years with the Bears. There's not

307
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: really many places to go. But I just go, where's

308
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey? Where's Aaron Don I'm going the other way

309
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: there on the left, I'm going right. There on the right,

310
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm going left. This we're not reinventing the wheel here

311
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: with football. It's pretty basic. And Kyle Shanahan, who's a

312
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: smart guy, he's not He's not gonna run with those guys.

313
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: We're throwing of those guys now, Jalen. And here's the

314
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: other thing. A fan dm this to me, getting Jalen Ramsey.

315
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: If you're in a division, let's say you were like

316
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers and you had to play Julio Jones,

317
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: you had to play Mike Evans and you had to

318
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: play Michael Thomas, You'd be like, well, that makes sense.

319
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: You just lock them up. Who's the number one wide

320
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: receiver for the forty Niners? They got like four number

321
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: three guys. Who's the number one wide receiver for the

322
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, Tyler Lockett. I like Tyler Lockett, but you're

323
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: just gonna use Jalen Ramsey on him. I'll just throw

324
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: it to you know, Jeron Brown or DK Metcalf or

325
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: just run it with Chris Carson. Okay, you're gonna what

326
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: cover Kittle with Jalen Ramsey. Okay, Kyle doesn't care. He'll

327
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: just throw it to Debo and Pettis and Mark he's

328
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: Goodwin and run it with Breda away from Aaron Donald.

329
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Jalen Ramsey is an elite player. That's

330
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: a lot to give up for a team that's very

331
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: caps strapped. And you can tell me, well, in two

332
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: years they'll be able to get off Girly, they'll be

333
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: able to get off with Worth. That's great. But I'm

334
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: a guy that kind of lives in the present, slash

335
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: this immediate window of how my team's built. It's like, yeah,

336
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: we're always thinking two thousand, big picture as a GM,

337
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: but big pictures really the next couple of years. They're

338
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: trying to win a championship. Now they're opening that stadium

339
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: next year. And look at the division. Seattle's got a

340
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of wiggle room. They got a bunch of young

341
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: players that Ironers aren't going away. So you've kind of

342
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: pigeoned your whole hold yourself of it all gets back

343
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: to Jerry Goff. You gave him a hundred ten million dollars,

344
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: which is insane to me. I just don't understand. And

345
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: I love money as much as the next guy. I don't.

346
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: This isn't the NBA. Here on this podcast. We don't

347
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: run from words like capitalism. We we love it. We

348
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: love revenue streams. My god, I love my cash. You

349
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: love your most people do, right. But when you get

350
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: to that number, if you're Jared Goff, and you know, listen, man,

351
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need some help. I actually have already made

352
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: thirty plus million because I was the number one overall pick.

353
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna pay me a ton of money and I'm

354
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: still gonna be able to make another contract. And I

355
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: know this organization like that would be the one thing

356
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: if I was Jared Goff and if I was his agent,

357
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: they have shown it every turn they'll do anything to

358
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: help you win. So couldn't you have taken like eighty

359
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: five million dollars? Am I supposed to cry for him? Like, oh,

360
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: he could have made a hundred he took eighty five

361
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: and then his team's really good and they just sustained

362
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: kicking ass like I to me, that's a knock on,

363
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Like Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz doesn't need as much help.

364
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: He can carry guys now, not necessarily right now, they

365
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: have so many injuries. But he's just a way better player.

366
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: And even if I was Carson Wentz, Like, maybe you

367
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: could take a little less, bro like that we're talking about,

368
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: like taking a little less, Like I'm not talking about

369
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: a hundred twenty thousand to seventy five thousand, I'm talking

370
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: a hundred million to eighty eight million, which is a

371
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: big deal in the NFL. And I get player empowerment

372
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: and Twitter like you would never do that? Yeah, maybe

373
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I would if I could meet with my account and

374
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: maybe we end up saving money. We attack Uncle Sam

375
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: that way, like you can think outside the box here.

376
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: I really think the Rams that while they added a

377
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: great player, are in a very very tough situation now.

378
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: From a billboard standpoint and a PSL standpoint and a

379
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: hype standpoint, it's strong. But nothing sells like winning and

380
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: sustaining winning the RAMS one for two years if they

381
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs this year. Having all those players

382
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: are great like l A is a star driven town

383
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: that used to the Dodgers win the division every year,

384
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: the Lakers always being in the mix. That's why SC

385
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: football is irrelevant. Chip Kelly's a laughing stock. You gotta

386
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: win in California. You have to win. I lived in

387
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: Philly when we were shitty. Radio ratings were high, TV

388
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: ratings were high. People like it that works in Philly,

389
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: that works in d C, that works in work that works.

390
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: It does not work out here. And I'm not even

391
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: talking about being a four and twelve team. People tune out.

392
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm just talking like eight and eight. People kind of

393
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: tune out, especially in that city. That's not a quote

394
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: unquote NFL driven market. Even though, like I said earlier

395
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: this week, I understood why you attack the market too

396
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: many people, but they don't live and die with football.

397
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: Football's NFL football is quadruple the size up here. We

398
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: just care way more because we've had it our whole lives.

399
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: We've never they haven't had it for twenty five years.

400
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: So that's better work because if it doesn't, it's a

401
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: sexy business move. But the football move, I don't know

402
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: if I see it. Okay, let's dive into the Jacksonville

403
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars side of this, and just I mean a little

404
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: secret not that you guys don't realize. Most people don't

405
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: talk about teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars. They don't have

406
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: a huge fan base. They don't really resonate with most people.

407
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's just basic business. You know,

408
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: there's a reason the Cowboys and the Patriots and the

409
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: Packers and teams that get talked about the most. And

410
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: I'm in the Lakers Yankees because they have the biggest

411
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: fan basis. So when you talk, you want the most

412
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: people to listen. And even some of those teams, like

413
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: if you don't like the Yankees, you probably hate the Yankees,

414
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: which generates interest. Right. It's no different than like trying

415
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: to court a mate. You know, if you want to

416
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: date someone, you actually if they don't like it, you

417
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: would rather have them hate you. You never want to

418
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: be indifferent or right the friend zone. It's no different

419
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: than in the media business. You either want them to

420
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: hate you or like you. You don't want them to

421
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: not care about you. So the Jacksonville Jaguars are just

422
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: one of those classic teams that for most football fans

423
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of whatever, man, the Jaguars, Who cares, right,

424
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: That's just that's just a reality of sports really in

425
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: that little area. The SEC in college sports is infinitely

426
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: bigger than the NFL. But I did want to dive

427
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: into the Jacksonville Jaguars because I do think for the

428
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: last five or six years they have been one of

429
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: the most incompetent drafting teams maybe in like NFL history,

430
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: since you know some of that old Al Davis had

431
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: that three or four year stretch in the late two

432
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: thousands where he just was missing all these picks and

433
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: and and passing on historic players. Well, from fourteen, fifteen,

434
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen, they drafted in the top five every year.

435
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: In fourteen they had the third pick, in fifteen they

436
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: had the third pick, in sixteen they had the fifth pick,

437
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: and in seventeen they have the fourth pick, and as

438
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: I sit here recording this today, they have one player

439
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: from those first rounds to show for it, and it's

440
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette. They didn't even take the right running back

441
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: in that draft. In the first round. They passed on

442
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who was infinitely better. And I like Leonard Fournette,

443
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: but let's just call a spade to spade. He looks

444
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: like a good second round pick, not a guy you'd

445
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: take number four overall. But I think when we go

446
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: back to fourteen, you go they had the third overall pick.

447
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: They took Blake Bortles. That isn't just a min a miss,

448
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: that's a whip. Then they had two second round picks.

449
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: They took Mark's Lee, which I liked a lot in college.

450
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: He's been hurt, he's been okay. But the other guy

451
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: they took in that second round, Allen Robinson. Kind of

452
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: like the idea here, you take a quarterback and you

453
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: take two wide receivers. He was the best player that

454
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: they drafted from that draft. He's now on the Bears

455
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: and clearly one of you know, a very very good

456
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Then you get to two thousand fifteen, they

457
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: had the third overall pick. I repeat the third overall pick,

458
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: and don't forget. In fourteen they passed on Khalil Mac.

459
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: They could have had Khalil Mack instead of Blake Bortles.

460
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles stinks. Two, they took Dante Fowler, and Dante

461
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: Fowler has actually become a good player, but he's on

462
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: the Rams now, He's not even on their team. That's

463
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: a swing in a miss. Then in the second round

464
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: they took t J. Eldon, a below average NFL running back.

465
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: So from fourteen and fifteen, none of these guys are

466
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: on their team except Marquis Lee, Blake Bortles, Mark eas Lee,

467
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson who is good but on the Bears, Dante Fowler,

468
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: t J. Eldon. What a couple of shitty drafts. Then

469
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: in six team they finally hit on a player in

470
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Jalen high in the draft in Jalen Ramsey, and they

471
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: have to trade him a couple of years later because

472
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: he can't stand Tom Coughlin, he can't stand the operation. Whatever,

473
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: they finally hit on a guy and they have to

474
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: trade him. Now, they did get two first round picks

475
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: for him, but they still had to trade the guy.

476
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: Like the whole point of drafting guys really high is

477
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: to nail picks and then to have that guy be

478
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: a cornerstone for your franchise. Now, luckily to pick after

479
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Miles Jack, that's a good pick. He's a good player.

480
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: So basically in the first in the fourteen, fifteen, and

481
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: sixteen draft, the only player they can really hold their

482
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: head high for his Miles Jack, Who's a good guy,

483
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: who's a good player. Then in seventeen they went Leonard Fournette,

484
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: who solid running back, but nowhere near a guy you

485
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: would take him the top five of any draft ever.

486
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: And then Cam Robinson, which is kind of a hit

487
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: or miss tackle. Think how inept they were fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

488
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: seventeen and eighteen drafting. How terrible is that when you

489
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: had four straight years of top five picks and as

490
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: of today they have Leonard four Nette to show for it.

491
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: Now they got two first round picks coming because of

492
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. But geez, Louise, how about the irony that

493
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: all three first round picks from fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, Bordles, Fowler,

494
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: and Jalen now all play for the Rams. How does

495
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: that happen? How does Dave cald Will still have a job.

496
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: How does Tom Coflin, whoever was the guy leading the

497
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: charge for Leonard Fournette still look shot con in the

498
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: face and act like he knows what he's doing, Especially

499
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: when you pass on Christian McCaffrey. I think that is

500
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: a run of four or five years of drafting, just malpractice,

501
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: an absolute joke. And you you probably could argue taking

502
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles when you could have taken Khalil Mack he

503
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: is beyond embarrassing. And then taking Dante Fowler they did pass.

504
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: I think Amari Cooper went next in the fifteen draft.

505
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: But when you do finally hit on a player, it's

506
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: on you. I I give Joe Lake of a lot

507
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: of credit with the Warriors. He talks about this all

508
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: the time, and he's wired much more like an NFL

509
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: owner or an NBA owner. Excuse me, he's wired like

510
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: an NFL owner despite owning the NBA. He's a cold

511
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: blooded killer, but he gets you gotta play the game,

512
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: and he knows that you have to try your hardest

513
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: to keep recruiting your own players to make them feel welcome.

514
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: The good ones, that is, the average ones the blow

515
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: average one. Screw him. But you know, they either shape

516
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: in or they shape out. But your best players, and

517
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is probably top three or four most talented

518
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: player in the history of the franchise. They did a

519
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: terrible job not figuring this out that they really did.

520
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: They deserve heat for the way they handled this, and

521
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't really know the facts of what they did,

522
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: but he was their guy. He was their best player,

523
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: and then whatever Tom Coughlin said, like, I'm sorry, Tom,

524
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: I like you. I have a lot of respect and

525
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: admiration for your career. But if you're the guy that

526
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: ruined the relationship with Jalen Ramsey, that's not you, buddy,

527
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: like that that that that cannot happen. I think if

528
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars where the Cowboys were, the Steelers were the

529
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: Eagles were the forty niners, and this had taken place

530
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: over a four year stretch, they we would be laughing

531
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: at them like we do the Redskins or whatever. This

532
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: is it really when you dive into their drafts over

533
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: what led to kind of where they're at now, it

534
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: is an eye opening experience. Okay, let's get into a

535
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: little college football before we go just through all the

536
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: Sunday games. Uh. I watched really in the last twenty

537
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: four hours. I banged out all three hard knocks on

538
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: College Dan Mullen, UH, James Franklin and Penn State and

539
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: HERM Edwards and Arizona State. HERM Edwards one just awesome.

540
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: You see why he's doing such a good job. He's

541
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: his team has an edged to him. They have a

542
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: ton of former nf FELL players that are kind of badasses.

543
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Herms energy is awesome. He's got solid coordinators. Marvin Lewis

544
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: is playing a big role. It's I highly recommend watching

545
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: all three. Really. James Franklin and Herm Edwards have some similarities,

546
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: kind of leaders, galvanizing personalities, but not really exs no scheme.

547
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: Guys just faces the program CEO types, big energy, big

548
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: time recruiters, and then they let their staff do it.

549
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: Where Dan Mullen, who I thought is much worse in

550
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: front of the team than those guys, is clearly an

551
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: elite coach. Can coach offense, can coach the nuances of

552
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: the scheme. He's a big time XS and nose coach.

553
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: That's why he wins. I think it's a good example

554
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: of there's no right or wrong way to do it.

555
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: Like in a perfect world, you want Saban right. He

556
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: knows the scheme like the back of his hand, and

557
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: he's an unreal leader. That's like the best of both worlds.

558
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: But I think you can all or we can all.

559
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: If you know you're a fan of a team, can

560
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: live with either as long as they win. But that

561
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: brings me to the big game. And yeah, it's pretty

562
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: well established. I'm a Jim harball guy. But my Jim

563
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: Harbaugh experience with Stanford and they and I saw him

564
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: kick the crap out of people. And it hasn't gone

565
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: perfectly at Michigan. We've gone over this before, but it

566
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been as bad I think as like Twitter makes

567
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: it out to be. He's averaging like ten wins a season. Now.

568
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: They brought him there to win national championships and this

569
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: is your five, So this isn't your two. It's time

570
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: to go, Jim. You know, I have no problem criticizing

571
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh for starting Shaye Patterson. That should not be tolerated.

572
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: He looks like a quarterback should be at cal Poly

573
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: or U. C. Davis. You know, like this is Shaye

574
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: Patterson a lot to start at Boise State, No, and

575
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: he's starting in Michigan, So yeah, that's that's a problem.

576
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: But I do think this is a kind of position

577
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: where he's on the road against Penn State, who clearly

578
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: is really good. They have athletes everywhere that this would

579
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: be the type game for Jim Harbaugh to shut everyone up,

580
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: because I I think the large majority of people that

581
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: aren't Michigan fans are going to the game, and it's

582
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Saturday night, it's the marquee game. It's gonna do six

583
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: seven million people are gonna watch it. A lot of

584
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: the biggest view games so far this season had big

585
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: ten teams in them, they have huge fan bases. Is

586
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: a massive game did everyone. I think the vast majority

587
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: of people are rooting for Jim Harboy to get his

588
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: ass kicked. And I'm rooting for hard Bob, but I

589
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: don't feel good. He's a nine point underdog, which you

590
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: would say in theory, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan should

591
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: like all kind of be equals, and right now, Ohio

592
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: States the cream of the crop. Penn State and wisconsinant

593
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: right behind him, and it feels like Michigan's in another tier.

594
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I think Jim needs a moment to prove and this

595
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: would be the type game on the road in front

596
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: of everyone to get a big ass win. I'm not

597
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: confident because I would never ever bet on Jaye Patterson

598
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: a big game, and their defense hasn't been as good

599
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: this year. I looked it up. Penn State's averaging like

600
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: forty two points a game. They had that game earlier

601
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: in the season that was kind of hyped up Mike

602
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: Locksley and Maryland was playing well. They were up like

603
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: fifty to nothing in half. It was one of the

604
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: biggest beat downs of this season. It was they molly

605
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: whopped him. And I think Penn State. You watched this

606
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: hard knocks on Penn State. That place is gonna have

607
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: a hundred eight thousand people, it's a white out, it's

608
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna be nuts. But this is a type moment to

609
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: kind of get your swag back. If you're hardball, kind

610
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: of get that. Yeah, I'm Jim Harbaugh. This is the

611
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: University of Michigan. This is why they hired me because

612
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: right now they've lost that and as just a fan

613
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: of football, I hope we get a tight game. Vegas

614
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: would tell you what this nine point line that they

615
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: think Penn State's dramatically better. Uh. And we've seen with

616
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: HARDBOS teams sometimes when their offense is off, they can't

617
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: score and then they're just royally screwed. I'm fascinated to

618
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: watch this game. I think there's some reputation at stake

619
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: for Jim Harbaugh because he loses this game. Like, you're

620
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: not even a top two team in your own conference

621
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: and really haven't been for a couple of years now.

622
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: It's not good enough. It's it's just not that's not

623
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: why they hired you, and it's not why people like

624
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: me anointed you as a great coach. I've kind of

625
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: like it's hard for me to defend him now. If

626
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep defending a lot, I'm gonna need a

627
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: win like this Saturday night. I can't wait to watch.

628
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play golf a little early in the morning

629
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Built my day around this thing. I want

630
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: to watch this game, five o'clock kickoff, Happy Valley can't wait.

631
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: But Jim, it's it's it's time to get a win

632
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: when most people don't see it coming. You used to

633
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: do this a lot. They used to be a defining

634
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: attribute of your career. Couldn't win this game and then

635
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: you do it. You shouldn't beat this team, then you

636
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: do it. That's how Jim Harbaugh built his reputation. We

637
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: haven't got that the last four or five years in Michigan.

638
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: He needs a win like this. This is a big,

639
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: big game for Jim Harbon his reputation. Okay, let's dive

640
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: into the game's coming up this Sunday, and you know,

641
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty good slate, pretty good slate, not not gonna not

642
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: the best slate, but not the worst slate, probably somewhere

643
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: in the middle. Just a solid NFL weekend. Start with

644
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: the morning and work our way to the night game.

645
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: Night game is pretty good. Eagles Dallas In theory, both

646
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: teams are three and three, Arizona at the Giants. Giants

647
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: given three points. Uh Sa Kwan Barkley expected back. You

648
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: know what's crazy about this game, whoever wins it is

649
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: actually not gonna be feeling that shitty if Arizona wins.

650
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: And when I mean that, of course, if you win

651
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: the game, you're gonna be feeling good. But I'm saying

652
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, we would have said these

653
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: are two of the worst teams in the league. If

654
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals win this game, they'll be three three and one.

655
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: If the Giants win this game, they'll be three and four,

656
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: and they'll be like, well, we lost a couple of games,

657
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: obviously the Patriot game, but we lost some games without

658
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: sa Kuon Barkley. So and I don't think the Giants

659
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: are any good. I don't think either team is good

660
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: because their defenses are atrocious. But the more I think

661
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: about it, I think Arizona could go in there. Kyler Murray.

662
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: If you play daily Fantasy to meet Kyler Murray's the pick.

663
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: The Giants defense is atrocious, and not knowing how potent

664
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: Sa Kwan Barkley is gonna be, I think taking the

665
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals plus three points on the road against the Giants,

666
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be three three and one. I mean I've

667
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: ripped them a lot. I might have to eat a

668
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: little crow. I mean three three and one. I get

669
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: they beat some bad teams, but man, it's not a

670
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: terrible record. I mean, you play seven games and your

671
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: three three and one. Maybe I owe Cliff Kingsbury and

672
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: Apology Houston that Indie. This is a tough game to pick, uh,

673
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: It's just a huge game, you know that. There's really

674
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: just no way around it. Houston's got to be feeling

675
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit right there. Four and two just

676
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, kind of took it to the Chiefs, especially

677
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: in the second half. Colts coming off of bye week

678
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: three and two. So if they win this game, they're

679
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: gonna be feeling good, you know. I I don't feel

680
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: good about gambling on this game. Fascinated to watch. I

681
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance. I guess there was a long

682
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: profile from uh. I actually friends with the guy, Tyler Dunne,

683
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: met him a bunch at Niner practices over the years.

684
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really, really good rider. Wrote a

685
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: big piece on Deshaun Watson. I emailed it to myself.

686
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: I gotta read it. And the culture just tough man,

687
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: especially at home. Uh they battled back great from that

688
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: when they lost to the Raiders and they beat the

689
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs and they had a week off. You probably take

690
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: Indie minus one at home. But clearly Houston's pretty good.

691
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: You know, Houston's no fluke. This This is a talented team.

692
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: This is one of the better morning games for sure.

693
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Miami at Buffalo, the Bills, whose offenses borderline atrocious, are

694
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: a seven teen point favorite. Now the Bills defense is awesome,

695
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: and Josh rosen Got was named the starter, then he

696
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: was benched in the middle of the game, and then

697
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: he was benched again, and Ryan Fitzpatrick starting this game.

698
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are awful. Last I saw a story today

699
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake maybe one of their better remaining players is

700
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: available for trade. Just just a joke. Franchise. This year

701
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: they putted on the year tanking, which is cool big picture,

702
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: but sucks for the fans this year that there's no

703
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: way around it. Even if you're pro tanking, we all

704
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: can acknowledge the business implications it has in the short term.

705
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: Ark stream ratings, every metric from talk radio to television

706
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: ratings too. If you're writing about the Dolphins are down,

707
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: So it's not good for anyone. And people aren't talking

708
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins for their own business. They don't necessarily

709
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: care because the rest of the leaks carrying them. They're

710
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: gonna get their money. But it's just they stink. So

711
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo seventeen points. They could be playing Alabama and that

712
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: that's a lot of points for a team that doesn't score.

713
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: But you'd imagine Buffalo kicks their ass, but the Buffalo

714
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: Bills can kick your ass. Like seven. Minnesota at Detroit.

715
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: This is one of the better games, definitely of the day.

716
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear Detroite is good. Right. They are a

717
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: solid team now they're two two in one. They got

718
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: screwed up Monday night football, but they're a good football team.

719
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: In the last couple of weeks, Minnesota got their mojo

720
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: back a little bit. Because I've been saying it all along,

721
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe in Kirk Cousins. Zimmer drives me nuts

722
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: because he just wants to run the ball. But last

723
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: week he clearly gave eds to Fansky to go ahead

724
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: like bombs away. And when you let them go bombs

725
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: away in the in the quarterback cannot like be gun shy.

726
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: They got two elite receivers and they also got an

727
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: elite running back. I mean this, this offense is stacked.

728
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: If Cousins just plays a top fifteen quarterback, they are

729
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 1: like a ten eleven win team. Lock. So Minnesota minus

730
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: one and a half at the road in Detroit. I

731
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be pretty hard for Detroit to

732
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: rebound from that loss. I mean that the referees. It

733
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: was like the game was rigged. I mean that that's

734
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: an all timer. If Detroit is able to come back

735
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: and win, I will tip my hat, But my money's

736
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: on on Minnesota Oakland at green Bay. The Raiders coming

737
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: off a bye, but they got a couple of problems.

738
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: Terrell Williams their number one wide receiver with Antonio Brown

739
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: jumping ship, he has plantar fasci ice and he hasn't

740
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: practiced all week. I'd imagine he's a no go for

741
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: this game. Well, you're gonna need to score a little

742
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: more points against green Bay than you have the last

743
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. The Raiders are giving up their stats

744
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks this year, and they haven't played many good

745
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: ones are not good? What do you think Aaron Rodgers

746
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: in that offense and I get a lot of injuries

747
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay I don't care if it's me

748
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: and you playing quarterback or excuse me, wide receiver for them.

749
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: Rogers playing really well, and that defense, it's gonna be

750
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: much tougher for the Raiders. Like, yeah, it's one thing

751
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: shutting down Chase Daniels, it's another thing shutting down Aaron

752
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers and even the running game for green Bay's humming. Also,

753
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: how is Derek Carr in that offense going to function

754
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: against green Bay that clearly has one of the better

755
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. It's gonna be tough sledding. So

756
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: the Packers minus five and a half. I would probably

757
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: just stay away from this game from a gambling standpoint,

758
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: but it's hard for me to see a scenario where

759
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: the Packers lose this game. Jacksonville at Cincinnati. Obviously they

760
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: trade Jalen Ramsey this week. I don't think it impacts

761
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: much of this game. I'd expect Jacksonville, who kind of

762
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: got their ass kick last I mean they're not kind

763
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: of They got their ass kick last week against the Saints.

764
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: The Saints shoved him around, made Gardner look like a

765
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: six round rookie. Uh it was. It was a one

766
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: sided affair. I think Jacksonville bounces back. They desperately need

767
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: this game, get back to three and four and kind

768
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: of keep their you know, division hopes alive. I guess

769
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: that they would probably need the Colts. That the Jacksonville

770
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: will be rooting for the Colts to be Houston, because

771
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: if Houston goes five and two, you start talking Jacksonville.

772
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, you're just fighting for a wild

773
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: card Rams at the Falcons. You know, the Falcons are

774
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: just an atrocious train wreck of a franchise right now.

775
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger, some people forwarded this to me on my

776
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: d M s. You know, he does those Baldy breakdowns.

777
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: And he did a goal line situation where they were

778
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: who were they playing? Were they just playing the foul

779
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, or they're playing the Cardinals and they lined

780
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: up in just I mean, it was it was an

781
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: embarrassment for a defensive head coach that's been there, I

782
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: don't know, seven eight years. For that to happen is inexcusable.

783
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: And David Johnson walks right in the end zone. I

784
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: just think whatever mojo and whatever confidence and whatever just

785
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: ability to execute in games this franchise once had, it's gone.

786
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: Now it's gone there one in five. They look lifeless.

787
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: If the Rams were to lose this game, like you

788
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: kissed the playoffs goodbye. We said last week was must

789
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: win for the Rams. They wanted to win the division.

790
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: They're not winning the NFC West. If they want to

791
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, you have to you can't lose four

792
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: straight especially when you're playing the Falcons now going on

793
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: the road in the NFL's heart. You know, can is

794
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: Jalen just gonna cover Julio? Probably? You know? But who's

795
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna cover I play? I'm a daily Fantasy diehard and

796
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: I like playing Ridley and Snow Like, who for the

797
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: Rams is covering those guys? Did you guys noticed that

798
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: they put to leeb on Ir They traded peters like

799
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: Nickel Roby. Nickel Roby is gonna cover Calvin Ridley or

800
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu? Seriously, that's what's gonna happen. Who's covering Hooper?

801
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the Rams defense, beside Donald

802
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: and Ramsey is questionable at best. San Francico forty Niners

803
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: at the Washington Redskins. Kyle Shanahan doesn't dislike the Redskins.

804
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: He despises this franchise. He hates with a passion. Dan

805
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Snyder and you know, Cowards has the famous quote in

806
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: his book, right, holding a grudge is like chain smoking hate.

807
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: I agree, but I do think some grudges are somewhat

808
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: healthy and they drive humans. And this is one where

809
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: I think Kyle is gonna try to put a steak

810
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: through Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder and just the entire

811
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: Redskins franchise. Now, I don't know if the Niners are

812
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: quite good enough just to beat some team forty to nothing.

813
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: H'm not sure they quite have the offensive weaponry. And

814
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kyle really wants to just unload

815
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: the kitchen sink on this team, given that they got

816
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: the Panthers and the Packers and Seattle kind of coming

817
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: up over the next month. But I do think he's

818
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple a few wrinkles in this game

819
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: and kind of make a point to embarrass him, or

820
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: at least try early on. Now he's got a big pit,

821
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: he's got to make the playoffs. You's got other things

822
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: to worry about, but his hatred for the Washington Redskins

823
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: is real. Can you imagine if he goes in there

824
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: and beat them like thirty five and nothing, Because at

825
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he might you could argue,

826
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: he might not even have to do that much stuff.

827
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: The Redskins stink, So if you were to beat them

828
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: like thirty five nothing, maybe it maybe it forces Dan

829
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: Snyder to finally fire Bruce Allen. This game on paper

830
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: looks pretty terrible. The Chargers are a tough watch right now.

831
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: They are boring. They are really really boring. Rivers look bad.

832
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: He really does. Keenan Allen's tweeting about how he's sneaking

833
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: kind of miserable. The running games falling off the offensive

834
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: line is awful. Uh. You know the pass rushers, it's

835
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: hard for them to make a huge impact when they're

836
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: always down in games and teams are running out the clock.

837
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: And then you look at the Tennessee Titans. They have

838
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: they bench Marcus Mariota, so the his era in Tennessee

839
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: is unofficially over. He might still start games this year

840
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you guys have noticed, but

841
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: over the years, Ryan Tannehill tends to get hurt. If

842
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: you told me the likelihood that on today it's October seventeenth,

843
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: which I'm recording this, he's able to play the rest

844
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: of the season and not to get injured, I'd say

845
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: that would be a pretty big upset. So Mariota still

846
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: might start some games, but he will not be back

847
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: on the Tennessee Titans next year. Like that ship is sailed.

848
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Uh So this is just kind of a game like

849
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: whoever loses this game, We're done even paying attention to

850
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: you as a story. Like you're kind of irrelevant, and

851
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: whoever wins this game, you'd be three and four. You

852
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: just you're just kind of floating. You're still not that relevant,

853
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: but you're not dead. Uh, this is pretty good afternoon game.

854
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: Ravens at Seattle. Uh, the thing that I wrote down

855
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: and Seattle, let me see the odds on that bad boy.

856
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: Seattle is just it's your typical three point favorite. Like,

857
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: I think we know enough about Seattle. They got an

858
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: MVP quarterback, they got a really good running back and

859
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. They got a solid offense, and they kind

860
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: of got a ben but don't brank defense Like they're

861
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: a playoff team. That's who they are there, Tanne leven

862
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: Win squad, Pete Carroll super Bowl champ and national titles,

863
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson Star, Like that's we know who they are.

864
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: Can the Ravens and Lamar Jackson play well against a

865
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: good team? Can they show me something against a good team?

866
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: You know? I mean it's one thing to beat up

867
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: on the Bengals and the Dolphins and the Cardinals. Can

868
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: you beat a good team if you beat Seattle. I'll

869
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: take you seriously. But I got news for you. Despite

870
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: them being four and two, I don't take the Ravens

871
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: that seriously. I just don't trust the quarterback. Now. If

872
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: he can go and have one of those games where

873
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, throws three or four touchdowns on the road

874
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: Seattle and gets to win, I'll go that's the best

875
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: win so far Lamar Jackson's young career. But he really

876
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: hasn't had any of those. It's time to win a

877
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: big game because right now they just beat up on

878
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: the crappy teams and then Lamar plays bad against the

879
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: good teams. But you eventually got to play good against

880
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: the good teams to be taken seriously. Because the Ravens

881
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be in the playoffs. The Browns are dumpster fire.

882
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Steelers season is over, and the Bengals might not win

883
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: a game. The Ravens are gonna be in the playoffs

884
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: as probably a four seed at ten and six or

885
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: nine and seven. But for us, when the playoffs come

886
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: around to go, you know what, the Ravens are hosting

887
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: a playoff game against the Bills and they're gonna win.

888
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: Like no one would say that right now. You would

889
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: not pick the Ravens whoever they play in that first game,

890
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: if they were the four seed to win. We saw

891
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: it last year they played the Chargers in the first round.

892
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: They were the four, the Charges with the five and

893
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: they kick the crap out of them. Lamar Jackson couldn't function.

894
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: So Lamar and people think I do not hate Lamar.

895
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: I didn't like him as a prospect. Love the kid,

896
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: Love love his attitude, his optimism, love his energy. So

897
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: I think the same about Josh Allen. I'm rooting for them,

898
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: but they you got And I can't even judge Josh

899
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: Allen against Miami Dolphins. I judge you gets good teams

900
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 1: in on the road, Like, have you taken a step?

901
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: Because is this is gonna be the same thing? You

902
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: want a bad division and you get you know, los

903
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: by twenty in the first round. And that's that's kind

904
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: of what I have them circled. Now they can show

905
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: me something this week. This would be an impressive wins.

906
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: You know, Marcus Peters add him to the mix. Um.

907
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: I like Seattle though, you know, how could you not

908
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: the Saints at the Bears? You know, nowg he's my guy,

909
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: and you know you think eventually Mitch is gonna play

910
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: kind of well, but how this is not the game.

911
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: The Saints defense has been dominant. You know, I think

912
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Patriots defenses are getting most of

913
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: the credit right now, but this defense has been big time.

914
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: They have punked the last three or four teams they

915
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: played from Dallas to Seattle, and obviously last week Gardner Minshew,

916
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: they took him behind the wood shed and and made

917
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: him scream uncle. So how am I supposed to have

918
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: any confidence that Mr Bisky is gonna be able to

919
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: make plays against this defense? Luckily, Chicago, their defense is

920
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: so good they should be Camars banged up. Teddy's just okay.

921
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, this is one of those classic like is

922
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: it nine to nine with five minutes left in the game?

923
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: Like that? That's what I kind of envisioned. That's why

924
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: I like the Saints plus three and a half, because

925
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: I think this is like a you know, three point

926
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: and under a game. You know, all of a sudden,

927
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: it's the final score is nine to seven. You know,

928
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: that's it's got to feel like that. Uh So I

929
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: like the Saints plus three and a half though it's

930
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, eventually, if you tell me Drew Brees is

931
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: gonna miss six seven games. They're not gonna go and

932
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: defeated in those games. Now, I don't know how they're

933
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: eventually gonna lose it, but they're gonna eventually lose the game.

934
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: It's just the law of averages is bound to happen.

935
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: This probably bassa i'd the Houstonity game is the hardest

936
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: game for me to pick. I have no clue what

937
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna get. Eagles at the Cowboys. The Eagles, you know,

938
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl favorite coming into this season for the NFC,

939
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: and their secondary is just atrocious. They can't cover anybody.

940
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: And then you had Dallas that had the first three

941
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: games where he went, god, is this team gonna go

942
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: fourteen and two? And then the last three games they

943
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: have just come screeching to up a hardcore halt in

944
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: the middle of the road, and it looks like their

945
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: engine is on fire. So Amari Cooper probably not gonna

946
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: play in this game, at least of recording this. He

947
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been practicing. But even if the Eagle or I

948
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: mean the Cowboys rolling out Michael Gallup and just randoms

949
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: of wide receiver, you should be able to go deep

950
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: I I really have no feel for who's gonna win

951
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: or lose this game, but I'm very excited to watch it.

952
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: I would say the safe bet would be take the

953
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: Eagles two and a half, but I did that last

954
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: week when they were on the road and they got

955
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: their ask kicked. Now Minnesota is better than Dallas, but

956
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just whoever loses this game is

957
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: going to feel terrible on Monday morning. I mean, if

958
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: if Jason Garrett loses this game, it's gonna be like,

959
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: is is he gonna get fired by Halloween? And if

960
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson lose this game, the conversation is gonna be

961
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: like they're really not gonna make the playoffs. So this

962
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: game is going to have a huge impact on the

963
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: talking points on Monday, and they're gonna be valid whichever

964
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: way it goes. This is a must win for both

965
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: these two head coaches and quarterbacks, Like they just gotta

966
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: find a way to win it. Now. The good thing

967
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: is because they're both three and three. Even if you

968
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: lose it, you're not like done, you know, but you're

969
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: it's then it must win the following game for the

970
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: If the Eagles were to lose this game, then they

971
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: would have to win when Dallas comes out, and if

972
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: Dallas loses this game, that means to probably win the division,

973
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go to Philly later in the

974
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: season and win that game and just kind of maintain

975
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: right behind him. So this is just a massive game

976
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: for two teams that I thought were playoffs box now

977
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: it's starting to look like I don't even think it's

978
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: starting to look like Because one of these two teams

979
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: gonna have four losses on Monday morning, they're not making

980
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: a wild card. So it's basically the NFC East is

981
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: getting one team. I'd say that's one of the crazier

982
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: developments of this early season is that, you know, it

983
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: turns out that the NFC East isn't quite as good

984
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: as I know that I thought, Okay, let's uh, let's

985
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: get to the Middlecoff mail back, huge fan of the

986
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: pot out in New York. How stupid is Major League

987
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: Baseball on Fox for scheduling Game three at Yankee Stadium

988
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: between Cole and Sevareino at four o'clock on Tuesday? Well,

989
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: for me, it's one o'clock, and I blamed. I don't

990
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: blame Fox, I blame one Major League Baseball. Uh, the

991
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: average New Yorkers working or commuting during this time, mind blowing.

992
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: The NFL or NBA would never schedule the Giant Chester

993
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: and nixt on. It's it's one of the most embarrassing

994
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: things in recent memory. Uh, like you just that that

995
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: cannot happen. It you can't put a Yankee game not

996
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: at six o'clock. You know, the first pitch should be

997
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: like eight o'clock and five o'clock Eastern time. It's the

998
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: biggest brand in your sport. It's the playoffs. Uh, just

999
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, Just an absolute embarrassment. Big fan writing in

1000
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: from Singapore, just wanted to get your thoughts on the

1001
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners or the NFC West. After the Rams lost

1002
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Looking at their schedules for the remainder of

1003
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: the year, it looks like the Rams might have a

1004
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: bit easier than both the Niners and the Seahawks. Is

1005
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 1: there anyway the Rams can still win the division? Well,

1006
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: they already have two losses right to Seattle and to

1007
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and San Francisco beat him at home, so

1008
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: the they gotta they still host Seattle and they gotta

1009
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: win at Levi's they would have to win both those games.

1010
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: Their schedule over the next several weeks is pretty It's

1011
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: not that bad. It's like Falcons Denver, they could easily

1012
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: get back six and three. I just wonder, like the

1013
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: Niners in Seattle aren't gonna stop winning games. So you're already,

1014
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: what two games behind the Niners and two games behind

1015
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: Seattle and you've lost to both of them. So I

1016
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: would say the division would be really hard. Now, can

1017
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: they get to ten and six, you know, and make

1018
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: that third wild card? If San Francis is gonna go

1019
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: in twelve and four, Seattle win eleven and five, you know,

1020
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: or vice versa. Yeah, I wouldn't discount them because I

1021
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: believe in McVeigh they still have a ton of talent

1022
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: on their team, So I wouldn't discount them for a

1023
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: playoff spot. But it's gonna be hard because you look

1024
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: at green Bay. If Minnesota wins this weekend, you know,

1025
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: green Bay potentially they beat the Raiders, what would they

1026
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: be six and one? If Minnesota wins, they'd be five

1027
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: into like that six spot in the NFC is winning

1028
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: ten games? Random question, and admittedly a dumb question. Is

1029
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: there a rule in the NFL where a quarterback has

1030
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: to wear a hat on their on there when they're

1031
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: on the sideline. I feel like every quarterback immediately puts

1032
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: on a hat as soon as the helmet comes off.

1033
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it has to do with making

1034
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback easier to locate since they're the only one

1035
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: other than the backup and a hat. Yeah, I'm just uh,

1036
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't necessarily know the reasoning

1037
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: behind that quarterbacks just love hats. I I honestly have

1038
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: no clue. That's a that's a unique question though. Lifelong

1039
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: Bills fan here, and my question is about the West Coast.

1040
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: Why is all the m v P talk about d W.

1041
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: I don't know who d W? Patrick Mahomes. Maybe you

1042
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: mean Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes. Oh d W. Who's DW?

1043
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: Am I losing my mind? Who would be DW? I'm

1044
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: having a total brain fart here. Is there a a

1045
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: sweet quarterback Aaron Rodgers not? I don't know he has

1046
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: carried that team? So why is Russell Wilson not getting talk?

1047
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson is getting a ton of talk.

1048
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of people believe Russell

1049
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: Wilson is a legit MVP candidate. For sure, Booker is

1050
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: really struggling through these final few minutes. That was a

1051
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: d M I got. I would agree. That's why I

1052
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: try to mute. It's hard to mute a game because

1053
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: you do like to watch it. Cam Newton do you

1054
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: see him coming back this season? And should he start?

1055
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen isn't the best, but Carolina seems to be

1056
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: clicking with quarterbacks. I said this a couple of weeks ago,

1057
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: maybe I said it this week. Then it's an easy one.

1058
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen is exactly that Kyle Allen. So if Cam's

1059
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: healthy after the bye and they're playing in San Francisco,

1060
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: you start Cam Newton. If you lose that game, you

1061
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: can just go back to Kyle Allen, or if Cam

1062
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,760
Speaker 1: looks terrible, Like at the end of the day, Kyle

1063
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: Allen is not Brady Rogers or whoever who d W.

1064
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: Who's DW. That's gonna bother me. I'mnna have to figure

1065
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: that one out. But uh, it's just it's easy to

1066
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: send Kyle Allen back and forth. He'll do whatever you

1067
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: tell him. So I think that Cam Newton starts whenever

1068
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: he's healthy, and then if something goes you know, hey Wire,

1069
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 1: you just you know, plug Kylowen back in the game.

1070
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 1: Big fan of three Now podcast, I'm a Seattle Seahawks fan,

1071
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: so of course I am loving the hype Russell Wilson

1072
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: is getting for m v P. See he is getting hype.

1073
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: I understand that the quarterback is the most important player

1074
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: on the field, and many believe the m v P

1075
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: should be named the most valuable quarterback. But could you

1076
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: make the case that Christian McCaffrey is making more of

1077
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: an impact for the Panthers who lost their starting quarterback

1078
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: and went four no since. Yeah, I mean I think

1079
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: now with Mahomes potentially being out for weeks or whatever

1080
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: as of recording in this podcast, that's what it looks like.

1081
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: I would say that Christian McCaffrey and Russell Wilson are

1082
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: in a battle, and Rod, I mean Rogers is starting

1083
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: a sneaky come alive. I would say it's kind of

1084
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: that little group. And oh, Deshaun Watson, that's two d

1085
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: w is Deshaun Watson. You know, you just gotta talk

1086
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: through it, think through it. I think McCaffrey, if if

1087
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Let's say win the division, like they

1088
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: go twelve and four and they beat the Saints a

1089
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: couple of times. Hell yeah, Christian McCaffrey can win it.

1090
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: Which NFL teams have historically always emphasized good online play

1091
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: and good coaching. I mean, I think in theory, every

1092
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: single one know uh yeah, I mean I would imagine

1093
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: every NFL building hammers on offensive line play. So I

1094
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: don't think that's out of the realm of you know,

1095
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: if you went to every single NFL front office, maybe

1096
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: certain teams think about it a little less. But I

1097
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: mean when I was in Philly, we talked about offensive

1098
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: lineman all the time. I mean we spent way too

1099
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: much time in like backup offensive lineman. I would say

1100
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: any organization worth their salt speaks about offensive and evaluates

1101
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman every day. It's you know, the good ones

1102
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: are fun to do, but the bad ones are boring.

1103
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: David Montgomery, Damian Williams, Austin Ekeler, which too, would you

1104
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: start your fantasy this week? Well, Montgomery's playing the Saint,

1105
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: so that would be a no. Damian Williams, I think

1106
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: the game's already planned, so that would be a no,

1107
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler and Williams probably a little too late in

1108
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: my bad. That's why I sometimes saved my dm s

1109
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: for for this night. I'm torn on day Neil Jones.

1110
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 1: While I'm glad he's had some success, this success this season,

1111
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: I can't even talk. I just don't think he's a

1112
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl winning quarterback. It's kind of like Dak. You

1113
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: can win with him, but not the big thing. I

1114
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 1: love Trevor Lawrence and that is or at least looks

1115
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: like a guy that has the thing. But since we

1116
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: drafted Daniel so high, it's probably not gonna happen. Do

1117
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: you think you can win a super Bowl with Daniel

1118
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: Jones as a quarterback. I'll be completely honest. I have

1119
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: no clue. I I you can't really even judge Daniel

1120
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: Jones past that first game where he was really good

1121
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. I mean he's played, he hasn't played

1122
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: with Sekwon Barkley as the recording of this podcast. I

1123
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: guess he did for a minute in the Tampa Bay game,

1124
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: and then he got hurt his wide receiver stink, you know.

1125
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean he's got Golden Tate, but who just kind

1126
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: of came back. I guess they've played together the whole time.

1127
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: I just I can't make any concrete judgments on Daniel

1128
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: Jones four games into his career with a terrible team,

1129
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: and you know me not a fence sitter. If I

1130
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: if I had a strong take on him, like, give

1131
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 1: you one, but I I legitimately don't think you can

1132
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: make you can have a take on Daniel Jones about

1133
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 1: whether he could be that guy or not. I think

1134
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: he showed small flashes, but he's you know, he's had

1135
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: a pretty tough situation to overcome, you know, just given

1136
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: the talent on his team. I was wondering if I

1137
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: get a breakdown of your opinion on Jimmy g Personally,

1138
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: I think he's an accurate, tough quarterback who's good enough

1139
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. Put it this way, I

1140
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: take him over Trabinsky any day, maybe even Golf. I'd

1141
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: take him over Golf. He's tough quarterback with a quick

1142
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: release thoughts. Yeah, I mean, I think his toughness, pocket awareness,

1143
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: his accuracy. He's clearly getting better as the season's going on,

1144
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: understanding in the offense, his toughness and the ability to

1145
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: stand in the pocket, his top notch. His releaseous special.

1146
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: When he gets in a rhythm, his accuracy is awesome.

1147
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: His teammates love him. Him and Kyle butt heads a

1148
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: little bit because he's gonna throw some picks. But I

1149
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: say all the time, I can live with picks, make place.

1150
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: If you make plays, I can live with the picks.

1151
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: But he's gonna throw some picks. He's got a little

1152
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: Tony Romo in him. But as long as you make

1153
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: the plays, it's okay. And I think at the end

1154
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: of the day, like when his career, you know, when

1155
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 1: we get like a five year sample size, he's gonna

1156
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: make a lot more plays than the picks he's gonna throw.

1157
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: But he's gonna throw some backbreaking picks. Like he's bound

1158
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: to throw a pick in a playoff game to lose

1159
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: in the game, Like that could happen this year in

1160
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: the first round or whatever. You know, they're they're the

1161
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: three seed, they're hosting the six seed. You know, let's

1162
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: say the Minnesota Vikings or the the Carolina Panthers, and

1163
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: he throws a pick to lose the game at home,

1164
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: Like that is I'm already prepared for that moment. And

1165
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'll I'll live with it. Let's see

1166
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: if I can get one more question. I'm a Cowboys

1167
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: fan who has been hoping Jason Garrett would be fired

1168
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: for at least four off seasons. Have you been waiting

1169
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: a while? However, I'm wondering how beneficial or hurtful you

1170
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: think it would be to fire in mid season. Our

1171
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: team is too talented to tank the season. So is

1172
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: there anyone who could just be brought in? Now? Yeah,

1173
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: to me, that's not an option. I think you just

1174
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: got to write it out. I think he's coaching this

1175
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: whole season unless Philly beats him like fifty to nothing.

1176
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: But you know who understand, like Rod Miranelli takes over

1177
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: that is. I guess. The good thing is that Jason

1178
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: Garrett doesn't call any plays offense, defense, special team, so

1179
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: you'd just be removing the CEO. I'd have to like

1180
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: dive into their staff. I would imagine to be Miranelli

1181
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: and just like Kellen Moore and uh Richard, the dude

1182
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: from Seattle who I think already calls the defense, just

1183
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of keep on rolling. I've supported Jason Garrett, but

1184
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: man that they lose Sunday and he's three and four

1185
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: with this team. I I support your hatred for the squad,

1186
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, I I completely understand it. So I'm not

1187
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: hatred for the squad, but hatred, you know, and questioning

1188
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: of your head coach because it would be valid. Appreciate

1189
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 1: everyone listening. Enjoy the weekend. Um, you know. And and

1190
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: I was almost said, we're coming down the home stretch,

1191
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: but I mean in the NFL, we're not even a

1192
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 1: week eight, and in college the BCS rankings haven't even

1193
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: come out. We got we got some time, we got

1194
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: some time. So yeah, just enjoy the weekend. Appreciate everyone listening.

1195
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Tell your friends and godspeed peace. Say you
