1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: straight Fire? Bam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Wednesday, 3 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: November two, and my oh my, was the start of 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: the month of November absolutely bonkers. So you guys know, 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: I joined the Herd back in I don't know, late August, 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: early September, and we've had some busy, exciting days, lots 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: of stuff happening. Yesterday was by far the busiest day 8 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: since I've been there, and Coward said it was one 9 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: of the craziest shows he's ever done. Folks, we haven't 10 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: seen the NFL trade guideline that popping in over twenty years. 11 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, actually over thirty years. I saw this stat 12 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: There were eight trades on Tuesday, the most in a 13 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: single day since nine. You know, usually the NFL trade 14 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: deadline is like all these memes go around about how 15 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: nothing's gonna happen and all this speculation about everybody and 16 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing goes down. And everything went down on Tuesday. 17 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: Actually some significant moves. They're gonna help a couple of 18 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: teams make a push, and I think the overriding theme 19 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: is if you're close, go for it, and I will 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: credit the Rams. Last year we saw them ad Von 21 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Miller and it was like, well, Rams are going all 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: in and it worked. They won the Super Bowl. They're 23 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: now struggling, but they got Super Bowl, and we talked 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: about it a little bit yesterday. You get that Super Bowl, 25 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: that's all the matters. McVeigh monkey off the back. Stafford 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: get ready for his Hall of Fame credentials to be 27 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: debated for the next ten years. And we saw, without question, 28 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings make a serious push because they think 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: they can get in that discussion with the Eagles and 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: the Niners in the NFC. Adding t J. Hockinson from 31 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: the lowly Detroit Lions. T J. Hockinson, remember this guy 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: was a top ten out of Iowa not that long ago. 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: I think twenty nineteen he went eighth overall. We'll talk 34 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: about that one. I thought Bradley Chubb going to Miami. 35 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: You guys know, I'm not a Dolphins guy, and I 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people who listen to this 37 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: podcast to where Dolphins fans, because I get all of 38 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: your tweets and I know you guys know I have 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: a love hate thing with TOA. He's been really good undeniable. 40 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: They faced bad teams. Getting Bradley Chubb is really really significant. 41 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: That is a power move for the Dolphins. We'll talk 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: about that as they chase the I'm gonna say the Ravens, Chiefs, 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: and Bills obviously a one of the craziest moves. Calvin 44 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Ridley going to the Jaguars. Remember Calvin Ridley. Yeah, he's 45 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: suspended for a year for gambling on sports insane suspension. Um, 46 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: we'll just get him out of the way quickly. I 47 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: had to look up his age because I'll never forget back. 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: When I was at the Big Lead, we were doing 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: a story on Calvin Ridley, this awesome prospect in high school, 50 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: and then he had to stop his high school career 51 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: early because he was too old. He had turned nineteen, 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: like early in the football sea, and so we only 53 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: got to play a handful of games in his senior year. 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: He goes to Alabama crushes it. Well, Calvin really is 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: now like old for ride receivers. He turns twenty eight 56 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: in December, so he won't take the football field again 57 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: until he's twenty nine. And it's crazy. If you guys 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: remember Ridley, you know he was stud at the sec 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: um absolutely dominant, goes to the NFL. First year, he 60 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: cut ten touchdown passes as a rookie yards ninety catches. 61 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: We're talking about a big time talent. He's it was 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: a top ten receiver in and then of course he 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: had the personal issues in twenty one. He's really only 64 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: played three full seasons and he's turning twenty nine in December. Sorry, 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: turns in December. Um, and so Calvin Ridley is like 66 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: getting up there in age. Listen. I don't know if 67 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna sign a long term deal. The Falcons will 68 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: get a second round pick for uh from the Jaguars. 69 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: If Ridley does a sign a long term deal that 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: was significant um obviously for the Jaguars and next year 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: not not right now. Um, Well, we'll break down the trades. 72 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: I will say I'm not gonna crush Kyrie Irving on here. 73 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: I did go ham on him yesterday on the Herd 74 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll talk about at the end of 75 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: the podcast, because as you guys saw last night, he 76 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: went out and played like he had blood on his hands. Yes, 77 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: the blood of Steve Kerr. I sorry, Steve nash the 78 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: blood of Steve Nash on his hands after knifing him 79 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: in the back, and um, you know, Kyrie Irving's playing 80 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: like a guy who's distracted. So we'll see, we'll talk 81 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: about Nash and a little bit. But I thought I 82 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: want to start with the trade that I haven't touched on, 83 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: because it's weird how quickly narratives can change. If you guys, 84 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: remember three weeks ago, the Bears were a dumpster fire. 85 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: I gave out Washington on Thursday night football against the Bears. 86 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: I remember my wife and I went to dinner at 87 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: this new steakhouse out here in the South Bay, and 88 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: I was kind of sort of following the game on 89 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: my phone but not really and there was like nothing happening. 90 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: It was like Bears drive and then screw up in 91 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: the red zone. Air's drive ends up with the turnover. 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: Like it was just a nightmare, and you're like, guys, 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: justin fields, like they can't beat Washington. Since then, the 94 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: Bears proceeded to dominate, yes, dominate, the New England Patriots. 95 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: The run game looked nasty, and then they played against 96 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: Dallas and fought really hard. Now Dallas was an easy 97 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: winner for this podcast. Uh, you guys profited off that 98 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: But if you really watch that game, and I did, 99 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: the Bears kept fighting and fields look good, and you're like, man, gosh, 100 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: if this team had any talent at all, they could 101 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: have the foundation of something. They got a lot of 102 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: cap room next year, and then I have no offensive 103 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: line whatsoever. They had traded um their defensive end, Robert Quinn, 104 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: and then they just traded their second best defensive player, 105 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: ro Kuan Smith, to the Ravens. They're like, oh, they're 106 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: in a tear down. And then all of a sudden 107 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: they get an a bidding war for Chase Claypool. Now 108 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, who did nothing at the deadline, 109 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: absolute stunner. Given the situation there at receiver, green Bay Packers, 110 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: apparently we're willing to offer a second round pick. The 111 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: problem is the Bears had a second round pick to 112 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: offer that was better their own, because we know that's 113 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: gonna be like in the in the late thirties, because 114 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: they're like one of the bottom ten teams in the league. 115 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay's pick, green Bay is gonna win more games. 116 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: I know they're not good right now, but the Bears, ultimately, 117 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: now they had added the ro Kuwan Smith pick from 118 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens. But that wasn't good enough apparently, you know, 119 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: for the for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So they went to 120 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: the highest bidder and Chase Claypool goes to the Bears. 121 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: I think this is a really nice move. Now, if 122 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: you've been following me on social or this podcast or 123 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: my old Saturday radio show, you guys know I have 124 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: been a massive Chase Claypool fan. He was a beast 125 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. I begged the Jets to draft him. 126 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: I put out a list of the ultimate New York 127 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: Jets Draft and I had Chase Claypool going in the 128 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: second round. So what happened at the draft? Chase claypools there. 129 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: The Jets are on the clock, Hub like, oh my gosh, 130 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: this is perfect. They get Chase Claypool. Prety. This guy's 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: a beast. I have a personal connection in that. Um 132 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: T J. Hush Benzata, who I've worked with for many 133 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: years at fs one super good guy, a good Dominoes player. 134 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: By the way, I should add that hush Menzata works 135 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: out NFL prospects in the off season and he texts me, hey, um, 136 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: I know you, I see you really like Claypool. You know, 137 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: I've been working with him. I'm like, tell me about him. 138 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: He's like, the guy's an animal. He's gonna dominant, He's 139 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: gonna win Rookie of the Year. He's like the freakest 140 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: athlete of all the receivers he was working with. He 141 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: was working with good guys. Also, he worked with Zach 142 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Wilson of the Jets. I will add um, he said, 143 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, phenomenal athlete. He's like, this guy's nice. He 144 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: can jump over tables. He's great. I'm gonna stop the 145 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson talk right there at any rate. So the 146 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: Jets have a chance to draft Claypool and they say, oh, well, 147 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna trade back. We'll pick up another pick. Pittsburgh 148 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Steelers get Claypool. What does he do as a rookie? 149 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: Nine touchdowns as a rookie, And that's on our team 150 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: with Deante Johnson and some other playmakers. And it was like, 151 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I picked him up on my fantasy team. 152 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: I remember, I had a good run won the Fantasy 153 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: championship largely thanks to Claypool, who had like a four 154 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: week binge where he just went off. But in the 155 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: next two years, his targets, receptions, touchdowns all declined. Some 156 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: of that this year was was Pickens. I think some 157 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: of that was the offensive coordinator. I think some of 158 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 1: it was. And there is a little bit of diva 159 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: to Claypool. When you come into the NFL. You went 160 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: to Notre Dame and you scored nine touchdowns with the 161 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, Like these are all high profile UH spots 162 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: that you're dominating in. You think, I can just wreck 163 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: this league. And you know not not to be negative 164 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: about the guy they called maple Tron. Yes that's his 165 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: nickname because he's from Canada, not Megatron Calvin Johnson. Maple 166 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: Tron is that there's a little diva, there's a little ego, 167 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: but what wide receiver doesn't have it at any rate. 168 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: The Bear's ad Claypool. And I saw Daniel Jeremiah of 169 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: NFL Network talking about how how good this movie is, 170 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: and he's like, listen, they're gonna run justin fields a lot. 171 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 1: And when you bring Claypool inside, you put him in 172 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: a slot and they try to put a lineback around him. 173 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 1: It's like game over. And then you move him to 174 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: the outside and you put a small cornerback on him 175 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: like good luck. They'll just go up and get it. 176 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: And he's a great blocker and there are some real 177 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: options that the Bears can do. I was like, damn, 178 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, that's a great get. The arrow for me 179 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: is pointing up on the Bears again. Extra draft picks 180 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: quarterback who is starting to show some things. And this 181 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: week the Bears have an interesting test there at home 182 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: against Miami. This was on the look ahead three and 183 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: a half. A lot of people betting Miami up to 184 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: five and a half. I checked the weather. It initially 185 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be a pooh pooh 186 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: platter for the Dolphins outdoors to a slow track. Would 187 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: not be surprised if they forget to cut the grass 188 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: this week. With Watterle and Tyreek Hill coming in town, 189 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look along and hard at that game. I 190 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: will be fascinated by this game because the Dolphins went 191 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: on the road, fell behind badly against Detroit, and we're 192 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: able to come back and win. That's Detroit.

Let's go to the other 197 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: the team that also made a move with Miami Dolphins. 198 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: They come out as big winners. I don't I didn't 199 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: read any grades for what this for what the moves are. 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure people didn't like Claypool because the second round 201 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: pick he did get drafted in the second rounds here 202 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: like did you overpay? Well, maybe he fits what they 203 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: want to do. And you look at the Miami Dolphins 204 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: and folks, this team all of a sudden is like, 205 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: wait a minute. The Ravens got a middle linebacker to 206 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: chase down Josh Allen. Why don't we get somebody to 207 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: chase Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. And they get that 208 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: in Bradley Chub, who really adds to a pretty nasty 209 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: pass rush for the Miami Dolphins. Folks, Bradley Chubb, the 210 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: young kid Jalen Phillips out of Miami, Melvin Ingram who 211 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: has been resurgent, remember him with the Chargers. He looks 212 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: like a badass. In the Miami Dolphins, Jersey Christian Wilkins, 213 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: the former first round pick out of Clemson, ray Kwon Davis. 214 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: They got in the middle from Alabama. Emmanuel Aga struggling 215 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: a little bit this year, but there's obviously talent there. 216 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: This team is loaded off the edge again, to go 217 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: back to the von Miller move with the Rams, you 218 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: get an extra pass rusher, you just throw waves of 219 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: pass rushers at the quarterback. Then, if you ever get 220 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: Zavian Howard and Byron Jones, who is out um, the 221 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: Miami secondaries really beat up Brandon Jones on I R. 222 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: Nick need him on I R. If they ever get 223 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: those two cornerbacks healthy, you're able to kind of sort 224 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: of do what the Niners had been doing. Oh, Mike McDaniels, 225 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: the head coach, you don't say, I mean, these blueprints 226 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: are everywhere. Guys, get the two lockdown corners, press up 227 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: man coverage, and then chase the quarter back with four 228 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: to five to six defense defensive lineman you can rotate 229 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: in the forty Niners did this, got to the Super Bowl, 230 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: nearly beat Pat Mahomes. Miami Dolphins are doing this. I'm 231 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: surprised they did not make a move. But the New 232 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: York Jets, Yes, I know, I've got to find a 233 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: way to make this about the Jets. They're doing the same. 234 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: Damn thing. They draft Saws Gardner, they pick up DJ 235 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: Read and free agency. Both those guys are crushing it 236 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: as cornerbacks. What did they do in the draft. They 237 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: added Jermaine Johnson out of Florida State. UH, Quentin Williams upfront, 238 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: Carl Lawson was their big get last year. He's playing well. 239 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: He missed last year with an achilles. And this kid, 240 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: Bryce Huff is playing well. Jonathan Franklin Myers the late 241 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: hit um against Mac Jones. Notwithstanding, folks, the Jets have 242 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: a forty Niners vibe on this defense. I'm just you 243 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: see these blueprints that one coach hands down to the 244 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: next and hands down to the next, and it's like 245 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: this works, and you just wonder why more teams aren't 246 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: doing this. Find the two lockdown corners, overpay if you 247 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: have to, because your quarterbacks on the rookie deal, and 248 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: anna up on defensive linemen pass rushers, and I'm just 249 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: this Miami team is going to be a problem now. 250 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: I do have questions about two are going outdoors. I 251 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: think we've talked about this a little bit and slowed down. 252 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: Uh in January. Your outdoors, we'll see. But defensively, they 253 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: got some bosses on that team. Now, their defense has 254 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: not been very good. But I think listen, I know 255 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: people were talking about the Bengals is the fourth best 256 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: team in the a f C. It's gotta be Bills, Chiefs, 257 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: flippity the way you want. I personally think, I'll I 258 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs will come out this year. Um, Bill Chiefs. 259 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: And then is it like, are the Chargers in the mix? 260 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: Like I just I don't think they're that good? Now? 261 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Can they be? Ultimately? I hope so. Um, But there's 262 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,239 Speaker 1: a scenario where they miss the playoffs and fire their coach. Tennessee, 263 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: they are twelve and a half point underdogs in Kansas 264 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: City this weekend Sunday Night football. I told you about 265 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: it already, bet it. I know prime time dogs have crushed. 266 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: Twelve and a half is a big number. I'm gonna 267 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: ride with Casey Tennessee. By the way, five and two 268 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: negative six point differential, just saying, so the Ravens are 269 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: probably three. The Ravens did lose to the Miami Dolphins. 270 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: Now they were dominating and then it was a massive 271 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: collapse in The defensive coordinator lost his mind and called 272 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: some dumb ass stuff in the secondary and got lit up. 273 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: That won't happen again. I think the Ravens are positioned Miami. 274 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: The a f C is going to be a gauntlet, 275 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: and I really would love to make a case for 276 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: my New York Jets to get in there. I just 277 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: it seems highly unlikely. They largely stand pad. They did 278 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: do a deal sending a defensive uh ed Rusher to 279 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: the Broncos, who will have to fill the void of 280 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. Weird move. Given up on Chub. They gave 281 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: up on Von Miller last year. They give up on 282 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: Chub now, and it's becoming clear that that Russell Wilson 283 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: contract is gonna be burdensome. It's gonna be very difficult 284 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: to extract yourself from that if Russ is not playing 285 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: a high level UM. I also should mention one more 286 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: a f C thing that I found interesting Indianapolis Colts. 287 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: So Jim Rsey comes out in the morning and says, oh, yeah, 288 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: we've relieved our offensive coordinator of his duties. What is 289 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: an What is a billionaire owner of a team doing 290 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: announcing on social media that they let go the o C. 291 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: Let the PR department handle that to put out a 292 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: statement Why is the owner getting involved? Guys? This Ersay stuff. 293 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: It's funny. I I took a jab at er Say 294 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back, and there was like two 295 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: Colts fans. I know there's like fifteen in the planet, 296 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: but two of them came after me. Like, you're wrong. 297 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: Ursay is not one of these crazy owners. He's not 298 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: in the Jerry Jones category. Bro, who do you think 299 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: got Carson wentz out of there after the Jaguars lost? 300 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: Who do you think got Matt Ryan Bench? Like? The 301 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: fingerprints of Versay are everywhere and this is not trending good. 302 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Frank Reich has taken calls 303 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: about where he can be an o C next year. 304 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that he gets a head coaching job, 305 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: but I'll be stunned if Ballard and Ryk back at 306 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: this rate, at any rate, they fire their OC who 307 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: curiously inserts a running quarterback and then has the quarterback 308 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: run a grand total of zero times in the first half, 309 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: like not one design run, very weird. At any rate, 310 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: they end up dealing Naim Hines too. You guessed it. 311 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, the team that tried to get Alvin Kamara. 312 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: Hines is a good back. I mean, he's exactly what 313 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: they want. They give away. Um, the big kids, Zack 314 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: Moss coming out of Utah. I like Zack Moss, but 315 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: Hines for sure is a more diverse talent. It fits 316 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: what they want. I think with Moss and things Singletary, 317 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: they thought they had a thunder and lightning. If you 318 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: guys remember thunder and lightning, Um who was a tiki barber, 319 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: and the kid out of Wisconsin, bron Dane. They were 320 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: like a good thunder and lightning, the big back for 321 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: short yardage, goal line, and then you're heavy hitter Um 322 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: who comes in like catches a screen pass and goes 323 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: seventy yards. It's becoming increasingly clear that the Bills only 324 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: what those big playbacks and they're just rotate in Naim Hines, 325 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: Singletary and then Dalvin Cook's brother, I think his name 326 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: is James Cook, who they drafted and he's looked pretty good. 327 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: So they've got three backs. When they go into the game, 328 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: you don't know if it's a runner a swing pass, 329 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: and that's key. I'll tell you why. Um. That kind 330 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: of thing is small and it's like a nuanced little thing. 331 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: So I was talking to somebody about the Tampa Bay 332 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: Buccaneers and they told me straight up, the Tampa Bay 333 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: Buccaneers are struggling because they're so predictable. When Cameron Brad, 334 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: who's hurt now, is in the game, every defensive coordinator 335 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: knows he can't block my grandma. So Cameron Braid is 336 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: gonna be catching passes. It's a pass play and the 337 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: defense is gonna just in. Tampa's playing like they know 338 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: what's coming. So what's weird is when Gronk was there, 339 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: you know, one of the great blocking tight ends, and oh, 340 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: by the way, he's kind of good at catching passes too. 341 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: You look at this Buffalo running back situation and Hines 342 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: Cook and Singletary all our dual threats, and you need 343 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: that diversity to give multiple looks to the opponents. Oh, 344 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: by the way, um, Tampa Bay struggling offensively big time. 345 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: It showed in the second half against the Ravens if 346 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: you watch any of that slop on Thursday. So they 347 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: have a guy, a veteran by the name of Kyle Rudolph. 348 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: Now I don't know how much input Brady had and 349 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: getting Kyle Rudolph there you know, he likes veterans. Kyle 350 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: Rudolph is like inactive almost every week, and who's playing 351 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: a fourth rounder. Brady don't like young guys. He liked 352 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: the veterans. He trusts them. Someone named Cade Otten, a 353 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: fourth round pick out of Washington, and you're like, well, 354 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: what can this guy do? Well, the answer is not much. 355 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: Brady barely targets him. He had a touchdown against Baltimore 356 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: that was called back on a penalty. But again, Kyle 357 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: Rudolph can actually go in there and block and catch passes. 358 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that Otton can do either. But I 359 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: think that's the point for Tampa, right They want to 360 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: find out what they've got. And the person who told 361 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: me this was like, you know, they know Brady's leaving, 362 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: they need to find out what they've got from some 363 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: of these young guys. So I do wonder if we're 364 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: gonna see going forward Tampa starts to play more young 365 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: dudes and some of these veterans start to sit and 366 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: Brady is not gonna be happy. But what say does 367 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: he have. This is his final year in the NFL. 368 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: So it's an interesting game this week against uh the 369 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: Rams because you look at that Tampa running back situation. 370 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: It's like, m learn four Nette, Well, who's this Rashad White? 371 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: Racad White, I don't even know how. I'm not familiar 372 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: with his work. He went to Arizona State. All of 373 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: a sudden, the last couple of weeks you start seeing 374 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: him getting more involved. What is he? Two thy two 375 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: third round pick. They're starting to play the young guys. 376 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying to take a flyer on Racod White 377 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: or rash however you say his name, but it's pretty 378 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: clear that Tampa says, hey, if we get to the playoffs, great, 379 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: if we can make a run, great, but we want 380 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: to see what our young guys have. They're seeing it 381 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Defensively, they're gonna be forced to 382 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: see it now with Shack Barrett done, Logan Ryan on 383 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: I are. They're they're really beat up, and you know 384 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna be like a testing ground for teams 385 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: that are not going to the playoffs. Somebody told me, hey, 386 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: j are you surprised the Rams didn't do anything. I'm like, 387 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I think they know that they're very limited. 388 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: They have no offensive line, they can't block anybody outside 389 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: of Cooper Cup. They have no offense. If Cup misses 390 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: the game this week, how do they score? So they're 391 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: out on cam Akers. I guess there was no takers 392 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: for him. I guess his work ethic is so poor 393 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: that it's known well around the league. They did nothing 394 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: because they know, like, I don't think we're close to anything. 395 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: You won the Super Bowl. It ain't happening this year. 396 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: The real the two surprises to me, teams that did nothing. Well, 397 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: let's go players that didn't get dealt. I'm sure you 398 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: guys saw Brandon Cooks went on social media like one 399 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: minute after the trade deadline and put out some cryptic stuff. 400 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: He's unhappy to be stuck in Houston, which stinks. I'm 401 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: a little surprised dj Or didn't go anywhere. But Carolina 402 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: has people over a barrel. Yeah. Asking price for Brian 403 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: Burns is two First, well, who's doing that? Well, you're 404 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: not getting him, and Carolina happens to have like four 405 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: good young players. J. C. Warren the cornerback is awesome, 406 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: Burns is very good. D J. Moore is good. They 407 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: got that kid Derek Brown on the defensive line. They're 408 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: asking prices big, and you know, think about it like this, 409 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: from Carolina's perspective, if you are the owner and you're 410 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: going at the coaches and you're interviewing them, and your 411 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: GM is interviewing them, and you're like, Okay, can we 412 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: get anybody if we don't have any talent, Like at 413 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: the end of the season, assuming like Lovey Smith's fired 414 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,719 Speaker 1: and Colts end up firing their guy, you know you're 415 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to look at the rosters. And for instance, 416 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: a guy like Sean Payton who comes into Fox a lot, 417 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: He's gonna look at them, he's gonna look at the 418 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: cap situation, he's gonna look at the draft picks. He's 419 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: gonna look at the quarterback obviously the quarterback first, the talent, 420 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: and say can I win here? And I guess one 421 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: of the big questions is can you win in Carolina? Well, 422 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: here's one big kicker not really discussed, Brady Leaves. Have 423 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: you guys seen the Tampa Bay depth charted quarterback Kyle 424 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: Trask blame Gabbert, Tampa's taking a step back. There is 425 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: a scenario where if Carolina gets a quarterback, they can 426 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: pop in that division quickly. I think Atlanta is kind 427 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: of in the same situation. They have some talent. I 428 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: don't think they have as much young talent. Maybe they 429 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: do offensively. Defensively outside of cornerback, I don't see much. 430 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: But Atlantic can make a case. Now they have a coach, 431 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: so they're not gonna be in the market. It's like, okay, 432 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: if you go coach Carolina, can you maybe win that 433 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: division or steal it? I think the Saints are good. Um, 434 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: it's I just I love this. It the NFL for 435 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: a day turned into the NBA, which just speculation and options, 436 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: and I guess I can wrap up with this. The 437 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: outside of the players, I was surprised that didn't get dealt. 438 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: The teams that did nothing. The Dallas Cowboys, right, if 439 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: they were to add like a Brandon Cooks or DJ 440 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: moore Man, the arrow would be pointing up. I'm right 441 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: now and this stuff fluid I have. Dallas is the 442 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: third best team in the NFC. I still think they 443 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: were a little limited. You go to a playoff game 444 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: and Cedee Lamb is gonna be bracketed. He's gonna face 445 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: double teams, and you better hope Michael Gallups because after that, 446 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: uh Noah Brown. I think James Washington's out for the year. 447 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, we haven't seen him. Dalton Schultz is good. 448 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: I like Tony Pollard. You know this, um. Offensively, I 449 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: just think their weapons, like you match up the Cowboys 450 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: weapons against the Niners, like it's not even close. I mean, 451 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles have way better weapons than the Cowboys. 452 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: So from a keeping up standpoint, it's gonna be tough 453 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: for Dallas. And remember, as we talked about yesterday, Dax 454 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: salary cap hit becomes onerous next year, second highest in 455 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: the league behind Deshaun Watson. UM. So that's one team, 456 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: and then the Green Bay Packers, who have a million 457 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: injured at receiver. The franchise almost the ego of everybody 458 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: in the building. It's like, oh, we're fine. You know, 459 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna get Cobb back, We're gonna get Lazard back, 460 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna get Watson back. Well, first of all, none 461 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: of these guys are great. Um, can you rely on 462 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: Jones and Dylan? The offensive line did? Okay? I thought 463 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: against the Bills, the defense, you know, will eventually carry them. 464 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: But I just thought it was a little hubris. How 465 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: about that little little s A T word for you, 466 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Hubris on the part of the Packers thinking that they 467 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: didn't really need to upgrade anything. And you've gotta wonder 468 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: how ticked off Aaron Rodgers is for the Packers doing 469 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: nothing at the deadline.

Now, you guys know, I've talked a lot 476 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: about the Nash situation on this podcast. Some of the 477 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: stuff I've said has gotten a lot of pick up um, 478 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: mostly because you know, listen, Uh, it's pretty obvious what's 479 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: happening there. Right. Kyrie Irving has down gotten two coaches, fired, 480 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson because Kenny Atkinson wouldn't play his guy DeAndre 481 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: Jordan's so Karrie basically gota fired. And Kyrie thinks he's bulletproof. 482 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: He he said in the press conference, he's got an 483 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: army of people behind him. And now after the slow start, 484 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: after his tweet about a movie that has anti Semitic 485 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: themes that are absolutely horrid and awful. A bunch of 486 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: reporters went and watched it. I'm not wasting my time 487 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: watching that crap, no way anything. Kyrie Irving says, hey, 488 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: check this out. It's like I'll do the opposite. Let 489 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: me just run far away. So Kyrie deleted it. Monday, 490 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: he met with the owner who called him out on 491 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: social media, so they have a meeting A day later. 492 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: Steve Nash is gone. Now you know, Steve Nash is 493 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,479 Speaker 1: probably happy. Apparently his family likes to schools in Brooklyn, 494 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: so there's there's a small chance that he stays in Brooklyn. 495 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: I personally think he'll be coming back to the West Coast. 496 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: That's my guest. But Brooklyn wins last night they beat 497 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: the Pacers. I was sorry two nights ago they beat 498 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: the Pacers and k D and Kyrie were good. But 499 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: it's the Pacers who aren't any good. So you fire Nash. 500 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: Within minutes, you've got Woodanarowski and company tweeting that. Emai Udoka, 501 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: the Celtics coach who coached him to the finals last 502 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: year and was suspended because he ended up having like 503 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: marital affairs with two at least two people in the 504 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: Celtics organization, and then apparently it got weird or creepy 505 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: after that. He's suspended for a year. He's going to 506 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: be the next Brooklyn next coach. Apparently this is happening 507 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: in like a twenty four hour span. Well what do 508 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: you think happened? Hours after Steve Nash got fired and 509 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: people just went after Kyrie Irving on line because they 510 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: know it's him. They went out and they choked in 511 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and got beat by the Chicago Bulls 512 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn booze raining down in the fourth quarter, and 513 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: like I said, at the outside of the pot, it's 514 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: tough to play basketball with blood on your hands. Kyrie 515 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: Irving in just a masterful performance. He was two of 516 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: twelve shooting oh for six from deep, four points, seven assists, 517 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: six rebounds, a team high minus fourteen. Kyrie Irving totally 518 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: vomiting all over himself in a gutless performance. No, I 519 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: didn't bet on this game. Poor Jacque Vaughan. He's got 520 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: to deal with this. The inmates trying to run the 521 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: asylum folks. The Nets kept Kyrie Irving away from the 522 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: media before the game. They as they were like, oh, 523 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: we just needed to cool him to cool out. Yeah, sure, 524 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: that's what it is. I'm just telling you this has 525 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: implosion written all over it. The Brooklyn Nets are a 526 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: pathetic organization right now. You know, if the owner could 527 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: get rid of Kyrie, he would do it in a heartbeat. 528 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: And they now fall to two and six there in 529 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: the depths of the Eastern Conference. Folks, It's only going 530 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: to get worse. I'm just I don't see any end 531 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: in sight to this total disaster. The organization is in chaos. 532 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: You choke at home in the fourth quarter against the 533 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: bull zach Lavine.
