33
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: let's go. But first, let me tell you about my friends.

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: A turtle Box Audio. Turtle Box my friends, loyal partners,

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: and let's face it, the best, I repeat, the best

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: portable speaker on the market. First and foremost, it's loud.

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: So you're barbecue and you're playing golf, you're inside, throwing

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: a house party, you're doing whatever you do. You link

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: your phone your iPad up to turtle box. Boom, you're

40
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: slamming in that pad. Then they also have the longest

41
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: battery life of any audio portable speaker. It's not even close.

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Look at this thing. For those of you can watching

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: on YouTube, it's incredible. Also for my fans of the

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: NFL and college football. They have the ability to personalize.

45
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: So if you're a Packer fan, maybe not for long,

46
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: a Bills fan, how about that? A Bills fan? You

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Go get it, Okay. I think we need to start

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: with the Packers because we thought the Bills were a powerhouse.

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: They're a powerhouse and they are headed to I would

59
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: say it would be an upset now if they're not

60
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: the number one overall seat We obviously still have a

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: lot of seasons to go, but they've already beat the

62
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs and we'll dive into them in a second. But

63
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: the final score was seventeen. The game was not that close.

64
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: The score halftime was seven, and honestly, it felt like

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: it easily could have been thirty five to seven. Here's

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: the thing, and this is where I screwed up. I

67
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: will take the l now. Obviously they've got on record

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: with this, it's a well reported story. They did not

69
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: want to trade Davante Adams, right. The Chiefs were cool

70
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: with doing it. It was partly their idea. They had

71
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: a number, they weren'tnna go above it, and they traded him. Now,

72
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: he also wanted to get traded because he had a number.

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Davante Adams went to the Packers and said, I'm out, No, Moss,

74
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm not playing for you anymore. So, even though the

75
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: NFL is a management league, they were at the spot

76
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: where he was not going to sign the contract and

77
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: they were not going to try to fight with a

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: guy that they really respected, and they basically, I wouldn't say,

79
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: gave into his wishes, but they worked with them. They

80
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: found a trade partner which will dive into the Raiders

81
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: here in a second. That's a fucking disaster. And he

82
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: got traded. And I thought that the group with the

83
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: defense and the run game would be able to be

84
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: good enough to maybe not be the consistent number one seed,

85
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: but when the division be eleven or twelve wins because

86
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: they had the reigning back to back m v P.

87
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: And I think I said this last week, it's pretty

88
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: clear that I don't care how good you are in

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: the peak of your powers as a quarterback, you need

90
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: help around you. Now. Does Aaron Rodgers look quite as

91
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: good as it did last the last couple of years.

92
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's for me. It's hard to say.

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's throwing do guys we've never heard of.

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Let's face it, until the draft, you didn't know most

95
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: people listening to this did not watch the University of

96
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: Reno play college football. They definitely did not watch North

97
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: Dakota State play football. Why it's impossible. So anytime you

98
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: draft wide receivers, I would say, based on recent history,

99
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of guys come in and have

100
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: a lot of success. But most of the receivers that

101
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: have come in and had I would say, relatively immediate

102
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: success have been bigger program guys, whether it be a

103
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: guy from Clemson, a guy from Ohio State, a guy

104
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: from the SEC, a guy from the Pack twelve or

105
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: the Big ten or the Big twelve. Right, there are

106
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: programs that if you just a couple of times during

107
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: the year, are screwing around on Saturday, even if you're

108
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: not some die hard college football fan, you might run

109
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: into Ceedee Lamb, Tee Higgins, justin Jefferson. Some of these players, right, Deebo,

110
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: Samuel h dk Metcalf, where when you get players like

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: the Packers draft, you don't really know much about him,

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: and clearly they're very dependent on these two guys contributing

113
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: at a high level. Now. They were never gonna be

114
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: able to fill Davante shoes. That's impossible, right, You would

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: have to hit to get a guy to fill his

116
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: shoes immediately, even if it was just even if it

117
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: was two players, they would both have to be Probably

118
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: both guys be catching fifty balls each and getting you

119
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: five or six touchdowns seven touchdowns each Like that was

120
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: never gonna happen, But I did think it was gonna

121
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: be much more functional than it spent because they're passing

122
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: game blows. It wasn't until the fourth quarter when Rogers

123
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: threw that touchdown and it felt like the game was

124
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: well over and it turned out to be pretty meaningless

125
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: unless you bet on the Greeny backers, and it was

126
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: very meaningful because it helped them over the spread. But like,

127
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: the Packers are bad, Like they are just a bad

128
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: football team. They're three and five now, they got a

129
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: game coming up against the Lions, and they're playing in Detroit,

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: and Dan Campbell is in shambles. But then I looked

131
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: their next three games are Cowboys, Titans, at the Eagles.

132
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: So let's even give them a win against the Lions,

133
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: which I'll be honest, Lions clearly aren't that good, but

134
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: they play a lot of weird games, and if a

135
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: ball just bounces their way, are gonna win one of

136
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: these weird games. Like the Lions aren't going one in sixteen,

137
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna go three and fourteen or four and thirteen.

138
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: That means they're gonna run into a couple of wins

139
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: when they are seven, eight, ten point under ducks. That

140
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: that's just a reality probably of their season. So I

141
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: think the Packers should win that game. Historically they've kicked

142
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the ship out of the Lions. But I haven't seen

143
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: a team like this from Green Bay when Aaron was

144
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: playing well, because remember the season when McCarthy got fired,

145
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Aaron looked terrible. It looked like he had kind of

146
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: checked out. It was the biggest reason in my opinion,

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: that they drafted Jordan's love because he had been trending

148
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: bad McCarthy's year and then Rogers first year with La Fleur,

149
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: even though they went thirteen and three, it didn't feel

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: like he was right. Likes just a you know, a

151
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: guy that has watched football players for a living for

152
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: a long time. Now, it felt like he was trending

153
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: the other direction. Now that clearly wasn't the case. But

154
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: you got the Cowboys, Titans, and Eagles. So now that

155
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: you have a good version of Aaron Rodgers, Like, even

156
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: if they just they lose two of those. So they

157
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: beat the Lions and then they lose two out of

158
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: the three, you're talking about a five and seven football team,

159
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: or excuse me, a four. They beat the Lions when

160
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: one yeah, they'd be five and seven, five and seven,

161
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, how are they ever going to go on

162
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: a run like I don't see them like, I think

163
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: it's fair to say this team is not a playoff team,

164
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: Like this team is screwed, which it was pretty clear

165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: by the numbers coming in tonight, and he went, well,

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: they're probably not gonna beat the Bills. We started looking

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: at their schedule like it's pretty wild, Like they're more

168
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: likely headed towards six and eleven then nine and eight.

169
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, and any time that you have a fifty

170
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: million dollar quarterback, it's one thing to miss the playoffs

171
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: by a game or two. It's another thing to be

172
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: drafted near the top ten, and six and eleven might

173
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: get you in the top ten. And then I think

174
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: you started asking yourself, like what do you do? I mean,

175
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: what if you have a chance to kind of move

176
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: up get one of these quarterbacks? We saw how he

177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: reacted last time. And I'm not blaming Rogers here right

178
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: for this season, but you do have to contemplate how

179
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,359
Speaker 1: often you're up there in that franchise drafting that high

180
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: it would make things very complicated. And that's where they're

181
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: headed because this season has been a utter disaster. Uh,

182
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: talk about the Bills. What's weird about the Bills right

183
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: is I would say. They look to me, I guess

184
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: if you go fifteen and two, you can only lose

185
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: one more game. But I think fifteen and two is

186
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: pretty doable. I mean, they're they're clearly the cream of

187
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: their division's crop. How are they going to lose a

188
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: game in their Like who's the Dolphins? I know they

189
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: beat him, but think of what a miracle that they're

190
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: beating them again. They're beating the Patriots both times, and

191
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: they're clearly beating the Jets both times. See Zach Wilson,

192
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Like that ain't happening. They won today pretty convincingly against

193
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and obviously, like we just talked about six

194
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: seven win Packer team, would Josh Allen playing about his

195
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: poor game as you're gonna see him? I mean, those

196
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: two picks he threw looked like he was, you know,

197
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater Jacobi were set. Like I've been watching Josh

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Allen and he had moments in this game where it

199
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: hit me. And I tweeted this out on Elon's app that, uh,

200
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: remember mid If if you're my age, you know you're

201
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: born in the eighties and you grew up on shock

202
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: and not just like shock that like played for the Lakers.

203
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: But the guy that played at l s U and

204
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: then the guy that got drafted by the Orlando Magic,

205
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: and then even early on before Phil Jackson, he was

206
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: such a freak. You would watch chaquill and he'll play,

207
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: And I remember going to see him play when he

208
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: was with the Orlando Magic and then again early on

209
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: with the Lakers against the Sacramento Kinks, and you just

210
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: be like, what am I watching? The dude was so

211
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: much bigger than everyone else. He could run and jump.

212
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: He was just he's an anomaly, Like he's an all

213
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: time physical outlier. And there are times when you're watching

214
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen you go, what then am I watching? Just

215
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: how fast he is? How quick he is? Like now

216
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: you can say Cam Newton had that, but for the

217
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: most part, Cam Newton was never consistently throwing the ball

218
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: like this, Like Cam Newton never went to the playoffs

219
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: back to back years, like Josh Allen is going to

220
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: compete for the number one seed literally every single year.

221
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we're watching like John John Elway meet Stan

222
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: Marino and tonight, if I had to give him a

223
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: letter grade, I don't even know if they do that

224
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: in schools anymore. To me, his letter grade would be

225
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: like a C minus. They can win C minus games

226
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: by double digit points. Like this team is really really

227
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: good and to me, their biggest advantage because obviously, now

228
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: when you get a player of his caliber and you're

229
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: winning a lot, you're only gonna get done winning big

230
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: in January, Like that is the standard in which they're at. Like, ultimately,

231
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna win a ton of regular season games for

232
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future this year, next year, going forward, they're

233
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: gonna get judged. Can you win games in January? Like? Ultimately,

234
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, like they proved they could do that, right,

235
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: they went to a couple of Super Bowls, they won one.

236
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: We know they can win big in January. Now we've

237
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: also seen them. I mean last year they you know,

238
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: blew it against the uh against the Bengals, and you

239
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: know that first year with Mahomes they lost to Brady.

240
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: But we've seen them. They beat the forty niners to

241
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. The Bill's gotta win some big

242
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: games and basically they're gonna get judged on They're gonna

243
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs like that game feels very unavoidable. Can

244
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: he do it? Can Josh Allen can Sean McDermott win

245
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: that game, and for the first time, they're gonna get

246
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: that game at home, and that's a really big deal,

247
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: especially with that home crowd, because forever Peyton Manning and

248
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: I grew up as a kid loving Peyton Manning, he

249
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: couldn't beat the Patriots, he couldn't win in Foxborough, but

250
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: he always had to win in Foxborough. And then finally

251
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: the year that he won the Super Bowl, they got

252
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: him in Indianapolis and if you remember in that game,

253
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they were down like twenty four to

254
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: three and had that crazy come back and then Marlon Jackson,

255
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: the Michigan safety, ends up picking Brady off at the

256
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: end of the game. But he finally got over the hump.

257
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: And to me, the biggest reason he got over the

258
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: hump it was gonna be very, very difficult for him

259
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: to win in the elements. Now that's not gonna be

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: an issue with Josh Allen. He can play in the

261
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: elements on the road, but it is very difficult when

262
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: you're playing your equal to beat them away from home

263
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: in January in a one off game, and I think

264
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: the Bills having the number one overall seed, like they're

265
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna be strictly judged, and I think we're already at

266
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: that point, Like, as long as they don't have some

267
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: catastrophic injury to Josh Allen two digs on can they

268
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: win two games, you know in January and they're gonna

269
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: get a buy and then they're gonna host who knows

270
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: the Titans team, you know, whoever, we can pick some

271
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: a FC team and then play the Chiefs and if

272
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: they win those two games, to me, you know, they've

273
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: never won a super Bowl, so I can't say it's

274
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl or bust, like you get to the super Bowl.

275
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's a successful season for the Bills and

276
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: just let the chips fall where they may. Now, based

277
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: on the NFC, you would say they're probably gonna be

278
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: the favorites now, who knows, maybe them are the Eagles.

279
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see how the good the Eagles get

280
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: if they play the Eagles. I mean, it's gonna be

281
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: difficult for the Eagles to get there as well. But

282
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna be judged on, winning those two

283
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: games at home in January, and that's fun if your

284
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: Bills fan, like, that's your franchise just a couple of

285

286
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: to the standard of like, we're just getting judged off

287
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: playoff wins and losses. That's all we're judged on. That

288

Speaker 1: West Virginia. Speak about someone that's not kicking ass, you know,

318
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I was thinking about watching this game

319
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: a little bit this morning. Some things just don't work

320
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: even though they should like and it happens a lot

321
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: in football, right, a coordinator is a really good coordinator,

322
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: and then he becomes a head coach and he just

323
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: sucks and it just does not work, and you're like,

324
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on it. And then some coordinators,

325
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: even Josh McDaniels, right, for all the guys that have

326
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: come over the years with New England, you're like, yeah, Patricia,

327
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: that guy is gonna be a head coach. Terrible head coach.

328
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Joe Judge does coach special teams that ain't gonna work.

329
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: And it happens over and over and over, or a

330
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: lot of times that we can label guys like I

331
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: can't see that working. Steve Sarkisian, it's like they have

332
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: the same kind of work in Texas. I've seen him

333
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: coach at USC didn't work. But Josh m daniels, even

334
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: though he had some red flags, right, red flags, lasted

335
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: a year and a half in Denver, was a complete disaster,

336
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: was running out of the building. Everyone hated him. And

337
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: then just several years ago, I guess it's about five now,

338
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: he literally accepted a job, hired coaches, and then quit.

339
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever seen that before. It's unprecedented.

340
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: Might not ever see it again. But once he got

341
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: this job, like, well, it feels like he's got a

342
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: ship together. You listened to him talk, he's impressive. All

343
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: the players that played for him, and I've met a

344
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: couple personally, they always spoke highly of them. They thought

345
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: he was really smart. People in that New England operation

346
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: always thought that he was a big reason why they

347
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: had a lot of success. And then you watch him

348
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: coach for the Raiders and he inherited team that won

349
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: ten games. They traded for Davante Adams, they signed Max

350
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: Or I mean, they extended Act. Crosby's one of the

351
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: best past resident the league. They have a stable quarterback.

352
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: And then they played Dennis Allen, who, as you know

353
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: where I stand on Dennis Allen. He's not a good coach.

354
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: He has not been good this year at all. And

355
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: he beats a living crap out of Josh McDaniels. The

356
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: Raiders did not cross the fifty yard line today, the

357
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: fifty yard line until under four minutes to go in

358
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: the game, and Derek had already been yanked from the game.

359
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: That was as gutless as an embarrassing performance as you

360
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: will see in the NFL everything they've done has been

361
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: a disaster this season. They were somewhat forced into extending

362
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. He's been m i A. He hasn't produced,

363
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: and he's been injured and he hasn't played, and it's

364
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: that's not helping. Derek Carr is regressing, like he's getting

365
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: worse by the week. Part of hiring Josh McDaniels, right,

366
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: was offensive guy, great offensive schemer. Him and Derek should

367
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: work very seamlessly together. You get Davantae Adams, his former

368
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: college teammate and the peak of his powers to go

369
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: along with Ren for to go along with Josh Jacobs,

370
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: and it's just not working. To zero points against the Saints,

371
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: like the Saints defense has not been playing well, Like

372
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: I just don't even know what to say, and some

373
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: things should work and they just don't, Like we have

374
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: more than enough evidence to know, kind of like Josh

375
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: McDaniels is a disaster as a head coach. It ain't

376
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: working and you can't tell me, Wow, he needs a

377
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: year to get his guys in. He literally just inherited

378
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: a team that won ten games last year when their

379
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: coach was fired on a Monday night football game in

380
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: October and their star wide receiver killed someone in their

381
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: dog within a two week span. Their interim coach led

382
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: him to the playoffs. Now, did they overachieve a little, sure,

383
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: But the Raiders, I mean you're looking at like a

384
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: five win team. I looked at the standings they would

385
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: be drafting seventh overall. They were the fifth seed last year. Like,

386
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: that's how what is going on? And it's just the

387
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's experiment is an utter disaster right now with

388
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders speaking of something that's not an utter disaster.

389
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: One thing that kind of went viral today is Tyler

390
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: Lockett uh said after the game that, uh, something that

391
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: is high school coach told him, I think it's amazing.

392
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: And this is a statement that you know, most young

393
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: kids and athletics are taught. I think your parents try

394
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: to teach you this, that it's amazing what people can

395
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: accomplish when uh, I don't want to script the quote, Oh,

396
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: it's amazing what people can accomplish when no one cares

397
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: who gets the credit. Basically, you know, it's a team environment.

398
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: We're all working is one for the greater good. And

399
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: if you watch his entire statement, because a lot of

400
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: people like taking shots at Russ. I actually did not

401
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: think he was taking a shot at Russ because when

402
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: you watch the press conference, he's not sitting up there

403
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: by himself. He's up there with Geno Smith, who was

404
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: having a fantastic season in DK Metcalf, and I think

405
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: what he was saying was just kind of representing who

406
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: they are, Like would you watch the game this morning?

407
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: And I didn't watch much of it, but I watched

408
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: the ending, and Russell led the Broncos on a pretty

409
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: sweet comeback against the Jacks. Trevor Lawrence was throwing some

410
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: terrible picks, and of course, when Russell Wilson is on

411
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: a team and the game ends, the sideline reporter grabs

412
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. No matter good, bad and different, he is

413
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: the superstar on the team. He is bigger than the team.

414
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: And I've said this for a while now, you guys

415
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: know where I stand. Unlike Peyton, and unlike Brady, and

416
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: unlike Mahomes and unlike Josh, he doesn't seem like one

417
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: of the guys. He seems kind of like a like

418
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, like when Justin Timberlake was in in Sync,

419
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, there's five guys in this band, but

420
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: there's one guy carrying the thing. That's how Russell always

421
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: kind of carried himself, and his teammates over the years

422
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: have kind of, you know, reiterated that through their own

423
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: words on different podcasts, different interviews and stuff like. It's

424
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: not even debatable. But when Tyler Lockett was talking, I

425
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: don't think he was specifically even thinking about Russ. I

426
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: think he was specifically thinking about the group that they have.

427
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: They're five and three. They just beat the Giants, Like,

428
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: let's face it, I watched a lot of that game.

429
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: Seattle is pretty solid, Like they're pretty good, and a

430
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: big reason they're pretty good is their quarterbacks playing at

431
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: a pretty high level. But also they don't feel in

432
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: d K in a weird way is kind of understated

433
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: with this squad. Tyler Lockett's always very low key and

434
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is very very under the radar. So they

435
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: have a group of guys that most people beside DK

436
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: Metcalf couldn't point out of the lineup, and they're overachieving.

437
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: They're playing as a unit because they kind of had to, because,

438
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: let's face in the last several years, the Seattle Seahawks,

439
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: which is like Russell and everybody else. That's the way

440
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: we talked about him. That's the way broadcasters talked about him.

441
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: That's the way it felt when you watch them play.

442
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: It was like, Oh, Russell's gotta pull this out of

443
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: his ass, and he usually did, and they would win

444
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: their tend to twelve games, and they would compete to

445
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They would be in the playoffs and

446
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: they would get knocked out because it just always felt

447
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: like one guy and maybe just naturally because of the

448
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: way Russell was. The way Russell played, that's how your

449
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: team became. You kind of became your superstar. Well, now

450
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: they don't really have a superstar and they just kind

451
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: of play as a unit and I'm watching them there

452
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: five and three like they look like a ten win team. Now,

453
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Canino maintain this all season? I don't know why i'd

454
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: bet against him. He's been pretty consistent all year. Whenever

455
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: I watched him, I go, that looks like a solid

456
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. This does not feel flukey like when I

457
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: watched Daniel Jones or when I watched Zack Wilson, or

458
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: you watch some of these guys like, I don't know

459
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: if that's sustainable. You watched Gino. It was a beautiful ball.

460
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: He's got a big time arm. He's been really accurate.

461
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: He's well over this season, like when I watched them,

462
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: and clearly the way they talk, but the way they play, like,

463
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna translate. Now, Do I think they're

464
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna win playoff games or I would even pick him

465
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: to win the division? Like? No, But I do think

466
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: they can make the playoffs, and I would actually I

467
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: still think the forty Niners end up winning the division,

468
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: but I think Seattle is probably a wild card, especially

469
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: with the shape of the NF season. And then last

470
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: but not least, the Eagles Phillies phillis having a good

471
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: little run here, Phillies in the World Series one one

472
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: headed a Philly and the Eagles have not lost and

473
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: their offensive line just put it out a record. But

474
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: watching that game today or just highlights I turned it on,

475
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a pretty boring game. The Eagles

476
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of them. Is everyone's gonna make

477
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: mistakes at their job, right, and most of our jobs,

478
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: no one knows about our mistakes. I've made mistakes, You've

479
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: made mistakes, we've all made them, but no one knows

480
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: besides maybe our boss at a company, or maybe our

481
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: partner at a company, or you know, in a marriage,

482
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: maybe just your wife. When you're in a super public job,

483
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: like being a general manager of an NFL team, it's

484
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: impossible not to make a mistake. It's it's literally impossible. Now.

485
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's literally impossible to not make mistakes

486
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: in life. So when you're a general manager of a

487
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, especially a team in a major

488
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: your market, your mistakes are magnified tenfold. Just because your

489
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: fan base is massive. People care about your team. It's

490
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: a big deal, and you actually get They end up

491
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: talking more about your mistakes than they do sometimes about

492
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: your successes, because I think humans, in a weird way

493
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: can be naturally little negative and it's impossible to avoid. Now,

494
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: some mistakes are bigger than others. Right, missing on a

495
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: first round pick or missing on a huge free agent

496
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: signing is much worse than you know, missing on a

497
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: third round pick or making a bad trade where you

498
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: flipped a fourth round pick. We all agree with that.

499
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: And sometimes in a draft, when you pick a player

500
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: who then the following pick is a superstar, is one

501
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: that your fan base doesn't live down. And Howie Roseman

502
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: is clearly one of the best gms in the league,

503
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: and he made a major mistake with Jalen Reagor. But

504
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: how he's skill and I think Belichick is the best

505
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: at this, and I think how he's not far behind

506
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: is he will not hold on for dear life. In

507
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: any successful person always talks about the best thing you

508
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: can do with the mistake is pivot off of it,

509
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: not hold on forever. And a natural thing for any

510
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: general manager to do is hold on too long? Why

511
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: because I drafted the player and the reason I drafted

512
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: the players because once a time, once upon a time,

513
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: I believed in them. The problem is like, once you

514
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: get the information that that guy is not good, you

515
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: gotta pivot. And when you take the wrong player, and

516
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: then the player that you could have had becomes Justin Jefferson.

517
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: That one's hard to shake. But how he wasn't just

518
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: able to shake it. He basically found an equivalent of

519
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. He was able to kick Jalen Reagor to

520
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: the curb because he used his first round pick to

521
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: get a J. Brown and a J. Brown. I look

522
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: today is just a couple of years older and justin Jefferson.

523
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: So it's not like they acquired like Davante and Tyreek Kill.

524
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: Those guys are twenty nine years old. Those guys in

525
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: their contract are gonna be well over thirty two. A J.

526
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: Brown is, you know, still five years away. He just

527
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: turned third, He just turned like three months ago. He

528
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: gets a J. Brown who right now is basically forty catches,

529
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: sift yards, five touchdowns through seven games. I mean he's

530
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: on pace for a massive fucking year and you watch

531
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: him total eye test guy. So was the Jalen Reagor

532
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: mistake bad? Of course it was. Do you think how

533
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: he knew it a lot quicker than he you know,

534
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: publicly acknowledged when he traded him. Of course he did,

535
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: but he didn't keep forcing it like, I hope this

536
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: guy is gonna figure it out. I hope this guy

537
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: is gonna figure it out. I hope this guy is

538
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna figure it out. The following year he drafts Davante Smith,

539
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: and then the following year he flips on one for

540
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, And now he has his team and

541
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: mainly his quarterback looking like a star like you watch,

542
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: and I understand Pittsburgh's bad but you watch Jalen play

543
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: with A J. Brown and you just go, this works,

544
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: this is gonna translate. They have chemistry like this is

545
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: just like you don't I don't care how good you are,

546
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: like part of like Tannehill and a J. Brown, like

547
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Tanney Hills viewed is a pretty good quarterback. Most people,

548
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: including myself, never thought in a million years that Jalen

549
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Hurts could be as good as Ryan tanne Hill one day,

550
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: like a couple of years ago. I didn't think that

551
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: was possible. I didn't think he threw the ball well enough.

552
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: Yet they surrounded him with top flight receivers even after

553
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: they missed on a first round wide receiver and they

554
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: upgraded because you could argue that now. Of course, if

555
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: they could do it over, they just would have taken

556
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. But it's hard, like, is there that big

557
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: of a gap between Justin Jefferson and A J. Brown?

558
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: Because based on this year, A J. Brown is a

559
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: top three or four wide receiver in the league, And

560
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: on days like today, he can be the best wide

561
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: receiver in the league. He can be every bit as

562
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: good as Justin Jefferson. I mean he can be him

563
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey were literally the best players in the

564
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: National Football League today. That was an unstoppable force. And

565
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: then you watch him, You go, who is covering this guy?

566
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: His physicality, his skills, his his ball skills, just how

567
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: smooth he is his cohesion with his quarterback. Uh h.

568
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles man that they are their offensive

569
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: firepower if their quarterback is gonna play like that with

570
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: Davonte Smith and A. J. Brown, And obviously they're tight

571
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: ends good, they're running backs good, their offensive blind is good,

572
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: their defense is improved. They they look like the real deal. Man.

573
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: They look like the real deal. The volume
