00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: will do a show tonight based on the craziness. Obviously,

13
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Siria and the Eagles loose to the forty nine ers

14
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: in just an all timer, Drake may outplays Herbert, Josh

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Allen just goes Michael Jordan. We we know the matchups,

16
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the Bills playing the Broncos, the Patriots taking on whoever

17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: wins tonight, nin or Seattle and Ram Chicago. Matt Ryan

18
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: has officially taking the Falcons job as the Grand Pooba

19
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the Boss, and I'm gonna have a baby this week.

20
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: So we got a lot going on. Fluid situation We'll

21
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: still be recording pods all week. Have a couple ideas,

22
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: but the plan I think is to have a baby.

23
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: As of right now on Thursday. We have a doctors

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: appointment on Tuesday. So if something changes and he slipped

25
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: around and then we just wait, maybe you'll find out

26
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: a little after I do so. But other than that,

27
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: I plan on having podcasts all week, recording some stuff

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: just if I'm not able to do one on Thursday

29
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: for Friday, but we will have shows Saturday. Might be

30
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: a little up in the air. The reaction to the

31
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: I guess it is the forty nine or Seattle game,

32
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: but hopefully we're back home by then. Come on, buddy.

33
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: Other than that, you guys know the drillph you listen

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: on Collins Feed, make sure you subscribe to the three

35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: and Out podcast, and obviously Netflix, go check that out.

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: So let's talk some football. Let's just start right off

37
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: the bat with a man named Nick Sirianni. And I

38
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: thought about it like this. Let's just pose a question.

39
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: If I ask you or anyone they don't even need

40
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: to work in the NFL, just a football fan. If

41
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni was fired on Monday, would he get another

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: coaching job this season, and want to say coaching job,

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: would anyone hire him to be their head coach? Since

44
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: none of you are here, I will answer that question

45
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: for you. The answer is no. Well, let's take some

46
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: other guys who were fired. I think we kind of

47
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: just assumed that Mike McDaniel was gonna come back randomly

48
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. See you, you're gone.

49
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's fired. Kevin Stefanski a week ago was not shocking,

50
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: also fired. Let's assume those guys realized Stefanski's interviewing for

51
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: head coaching jobs might, as you know, easily could land one.

52
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel also, he's interviewing for the Cleveland Browns, who

53
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Mike silver Davis, California resident, former legendary s I writer

54
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: wrote a book about like the Shanahan Tree. Of that

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: crew of guys, the former Washington coaches, Mike McDaniel was

56
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: famously wrote a thirty two page essentially essay to help

57
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and himself get out from under the Cleveland

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: Browns leadership in Jimmy Haslam, and they were able to

59
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: resign and leave and go to Atlanta. Well, Mike McDaniel.

60
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: I think either has or is going to interview for

61
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. But if Stefanski and McDaniel were not

62
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: going to be head coaches and don't get head coaching jobs,

63
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: both of those got. Definitely Mike McDaniel would be not

64
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: only locked coordinators, people would think about firing their offensive

65
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: coordinator to hire those two guys. They would have teams

66
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: lined up all around the league to hire Mike McDaniel

67
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: and Kevin Stefanski to call their offense. For a ton

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: of head coaches all around the NFL, no one would

69
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: hire Nick Sirianni to be their offensive coordinator. The Eagles

70
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: don't let him call plays. Let's be real. Let's look

71
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: at the business world. Some people create start things from

72
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: scratch and dominate that world, right, whatever their individual industry is.

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos created Amazon from nothing. Elon's created countless companies, right.

74
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Sam Walton created Walmart from thin air, built the thing

75
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: up from scratch. Some people hit the lottery and get

76
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: rich overnight. Where does Nick Sirianni fall under that? I'd

77
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: argue he hit the lottery. He got Howie Rosenman as

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: a general manager, he got an owner. That's willing to

79
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: spend unlimited amounts of money, not just on his own roster.

80
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: They obviously have been well renowned now for front loading

81
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: contracts and being able to pay guys more cash up front,

82
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: and how they can manipulate the books. But a couple

83
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: of years ago their defense wasn't shambles. What did Jeffrey

84
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Lurry do? What's it gonna take to get Vic Vangio?

85
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: We will pay him the most of any coordinator in

86
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. Most owners aren't willing to do that help.

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: The majority of owners get knocked for being cheap. So

88
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni is in a situation where he plays the

89
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers who When Kyle Shanahan addressed the team

90
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: in the locker room after one of his most historic

91
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: wins as a head coach, he gave props to the

92
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: two linebackers, neither of which were on the team a

93
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: month ago. When it was reported this morning that Lane Johnson,

94
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer, was not going to be

95
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: able to go, do you know the first thing I thought?

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Who cares? Doesn't impact the forty nine Ers. They're dead

97
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: last in sacks. Nick Bosa is currently third on the

98
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: team and he hasn't played in months. The forty nine

99
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Ers defense, beside their secondary, was a bunch of random

100
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: practice squad free agent off the street guys, and somehow

101
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles couldn't do anything when it mattered. The brock

102
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Purty threw two bad interceptions. The Eagles scored three points

103
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: off both interceptions. I saw a tweet tonight that the Eagles,

104
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: if you remove defensive scores, averaged less than ten points

105
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: in the second half of games all season long. They

106
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: have Aj Brown, who we can get into here in

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: a second, is obviously one of the most talented wide

108
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. Terrible game to night, but dude's

109
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: big time player, so over the course of the season,

110
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: at any moment he should dominate. DeVante Smith is a

111
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: top fifteen pick who's not only lived up to it,

112
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: is a stud. Saquon Barkley last year ran for two

113
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: thousand yards. Dallas Goddard. I think Tom Brady said a

114
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: night like that's his twelfth touchdown of the year. He's

115
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: one of the more productive past catching tight ends in

116
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. They have a quarterback who is a true

117
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: dual threat guy. He might not have the high end

118
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: speed like Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray. But he is

119
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: a runner, and I thought, listen, I got it wrong.

120
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: I'd never thought when he came out Oklahoma. And I'm

121
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: a big Oklahoma guy because the guy before I got

122
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: into this world I worked in football. The guy that

123
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: hired me when I first started out of college at

124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: Fresno State, he works at Oklahoma. So I've been dialed

125
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: into that program for a long time and watched all

126
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's, the Baker Mayfields of Kyler Murray's and Jalen Hurts,

127
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: and I thought Jalen was probably gonna have to play

128
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: running back in the pros. I thought that was the

129
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: craziest pick I'd ever seen. When how he took him

130
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: in the second round, I was wrong, and then he

131
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: became more than a productive passer. But one thing early

132
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: on in his career, Jay why I thought he'd be

133
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: a running back because I thought he could be like

134
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. He's not some blazing speed guy up the sideline.

135
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: His instinct say as a runner are actually much more

136
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: natural than even some running backs. You know what the

137
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Chargers would have done to have him just taking carries.

138
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: He's patient, he has great vision. He's just he's natural

139
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: instincts with the ball in his hands when he's moving.

140
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: Even had a couple runs a day, one was called back.

141
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: It's like, why didn't Jalen have ten plus runs? Say

142
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: this about Lamar since Lamar became MVP caliber. He'll do

143
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to win. You need me to run,

144
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: need me to pass. I don't give a damn. I'll

145
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: do what it takes to help the Ravens get a victory.

146
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: Jaye was like, no, I want to play like Russell Wilson,

147
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: dominate from the pocket. You're not a pocket quarterback man,

148
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: You're a dual threat player. So watching the Eagles just

149
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: completely crumble. I worked there for a couple of years.

150
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: I worked for Howie. The pressure in that building is immense.

151
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: Hell I still get nightmares about it sometimes, which honestly

152
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: keeps me on my toes because the world I live

153
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: in now still there's a ton of pressure. I got

154
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: a growing family. It's not like I don't have pressure

155
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: to produce in to do well financially and professionally for

156
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: my wife and my future child. But it's a little different.

157
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't walk into that office on pins and needles

158
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: and that's what happens in Philadelphia, which is part of

159
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: football culture. It was like that at Alabama. It's like

160
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: that in Philadelphia. It was like that in Belichick forever.

161
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Like it's a natural environment in the football world and

162
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: it's very healthy, but they don't tolerate getting embarrassed. And

163
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: tonight watching or this afternoon, watching the Eagles get embarrassed

164
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: by Brock Purty throwing to DeMarcus Robinson, who looked like

165
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: he was Jerry Rice, I was like, this is not

166
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna go overwill George Kittle, who is not just one

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: of my favorite players in the NFL, he's truly one

168
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: of the great tight ends I've ever seen in my life.

169
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: He is going to have his number retired one time

170
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: as a forty nine er. He's a complete badass, and

171
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: as Christian McCaffrey said after the game, he's the heart

172
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: and soul of our team. Let me repeat, the heart

173
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: and soul of their team. Who is already missing Fred Warner,

174
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: who'd argue from some people that he was the heart

175
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: and soul of the team. He's been gone forever. Nick

176
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Bosa long gone. They're missing players left and right, And

177
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: it didn't matter because it turned out. The Eagles aren't

178
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: very well coached and they're just not a very good team,

179
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers shouldn't be that good of

180
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: a team. They're missing way too many players, but there's

181
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: like a character to them where they didn't fracture when

182
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: it would have been easy to. When George Kittle is

183
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: getting carted off the field, war is pretty clear, yeah

184
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: his achilles ripped, yet the Eagles are forcing the ball

185
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: to AJ Brown. I don't blame them. He's a really

186
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: talented player, but it was pretty clear he didn't really

187
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: want to be there. And I think a big mistake

188
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles made was not trading AJ Brown during the

189
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: middle of the season when they could have. And they're

190
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: going to trade him in two months. But when you

191
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: go into these playoff games, you need to have people

192
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: who are all in. And did AJ Brown today look

193
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: like a guy that was all in? And I'm not

194
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: just saying that because he had a bad game. Like

195
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, Jerry Rice had some drops, probably not as

196
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: many as he did in an individual game, But it

197
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: happens like it's football, like people fumble, people throw interceptions.

198
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Obviously they are better and worse times to do certain things,

199
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: but like it happens, and watching that game the day

200
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: I went, I don't know, I how does Sirianni survive

201
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours Because the offensive coordinator was

202
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: probably going to get fired no matter what, whether they

203
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: unless they won the Super Bowl again, he was a

204
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: dead man walking. That's the way Philly works. They fired

205
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: coordinators all the time. But I think this outcome against

206
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan that when I asked, when I posed that question,

207
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: who would hire Sirianni tomorrow if he was fired? What

208
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: if I flipped it to the forty nine ers, who

209
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: would hire Kyle Shanahan tomorrow if he was fired? I

210
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: think your answer would be twenty nine teams, thirty teams,

211
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: hell more people would hire the forty nine ers defensive

212
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: coordinator who was just fired last year from the Jets.

213
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: It's actually aged much better because that organization is an

214
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: all time clown show than Nick Sirianni. And the crazy

215
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: part is Nick Sirianni has been in two of the

216
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: last three Super Bowls. But I think, if we're all

217
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: being honest, how much did he really have to do

218
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: with that? Hey, he leads some team meetings, you know,

219
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: he's good like with personalities, but like it feels like

220
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: he does nothing in the game and he can't help

221
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator who was clearly over his head. His

222
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: quarterback has got to this spot where it's like, what

223
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: are we doing? Why aren't we utilizing your talents? Look

224
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: at Brock, perty what does it take to win the game?

225
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: You need me to run, you need me to die forward,

226
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: you need me to scramble and make a play. Obviously,

227
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm a quarterback, so you're gonna need me to pass

228
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: and make the play. But we're gonna need my legs

229
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: in big spots. And I'm not just talking about quarterback sneaks.

230
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm talking about taking off and running. And Brock had

231
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: one of the dumbest plays you'll ever see, because it

232
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: was one of the truly great six or seven second

233
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: at the end of a half play call, because I

234
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: was like, what are they gonna do here to try

235
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: to get six seven more yards? They don't have any

236
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: time out. You can't throw it over the middle of

237
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: the field. The Eagles are playing like against the sideline,

238
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: and they just ran a quarterback like power, and Brock

239
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of froze and then he fubbled the ball. It

240
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: was a complete disaster. But listen, party by no means

241
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: was perfect tonight. That play multiple interceptions. I'm a little

242
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: baffled that during the prep when all else fails, do

243
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: not throw at twenty seven, throw at the other guy.

244
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: And listen, he tested them twice and got picked off twice.

245
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: But what it mattered the most for a game winning drive.

246
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: It didn't matter what the play call was or what

247
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: was needed. They just did whatever they had to do.

248
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Do you need me to run it? Do you need

249
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: me to pass it? Do you need my Pro Bowl

250
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: full back to make crazy catches? Do you need Christian

251
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: McCaffrey to make a catch. And that's what happened, and

252
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: that's why the forty nine ers drove down the field

253
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: perty had a huge first down run on that on

254
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: that drive. Because it never comes down to I'm just

255
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: a pocket quarterback or I'm just a Shanahan quarterback. No,

256
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm just a quarterback that will do whatever it takes

257
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: on a given week to help us win the game.

258
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: And yet when you watch the Eagles, they're the complete opposite.

259
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: Jalen's like, I just want to pass, I don't want

260
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: to run, and clearly doesn't because you would call more

261
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: quarterback runs. I'm watching Josh Allen, I'm watching the two

262
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: quarterback Sunday night. I'll do it. Do you need me

263
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: to take off, I'll take off. That is not the

264
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: way Jalen plays anymore. Maybe he doesn't want to get hit,

265
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he just doesn't want to run. He got a

266
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl, He's made a bunch of money. And I

267
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for Jalen, what he stands for,

268
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: how hardy works, how serious he is. But in terms

269
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: of as a player, you can't maximize your abilities as

270
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: a player when you won't do like one of the

271
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: things you are best at, when you also have some

272
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: clear deficiencies and you try to lean into them. Like

273
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: part of life, to be successful at something is to

274
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: double down on what you're good at and do things

275
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: you struggle at. I don't give a shit what you do. Avoid,

276
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: don't do that, stay away from it. It's like, I'll

277
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: just be a pocket quarterback. This isn't really working man like.

278
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: This is. This is get run and get moving. That's

279
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: your what Look at Drake may look at Justin Herbert,

280
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: who didn't play well but throws on the road. Look

281
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: at party, get out and move, get out and make

282
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: some plays. You're a great athlete, not a good athlete,

283
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: a great athlete. But this comes back to coaching, and

284
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: this comes back to this situation. The Eagles are ruthless,

285
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: they really are. And to get embarrassed like that at

286
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: home by, you know, you got to remove the brand

287
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: in Kyle Shanahan and put the players that he was

288
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: rolling out. They threw a ball today. I've been watching

289
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers for three plus decades to number

290
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: eighty one, I had never heard of this player. And

291
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: then Kevin Burkhart said, well, he hasn't played in an

292
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: NFL game or caught a pass since twenty twenty one.

293
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: He's been on practice squas squads and bounced around. I'm like, yeah, no, shit,

294
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't point this guy out of a lineup. But

295
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: that's what the forty nine ers had to do today

296
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: because of injuries, because of just the uphill battle they

297
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: had to fight against a team loaded with players. Defensively too,

298
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: and listen, the Eagles defense is bad at all. You

299
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: could win a Super Bowl with that defense. You cannot

300
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. Hew, It's proven. You can't win

301
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: a playoff game with that offense, which just as a

302
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: fan of football, as someone that just would be sitting

303
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: on my couch and watching it. If I sold insurance

304
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: or had to dig ditches Monday morning, they would be

305
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: one of the last teams in the league I will

306
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: want to watch. I got so many texts from people

307
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: like the Eagles are a terrible watch. I'm like, yeah,

308
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: they really are. They're boring, there's no creativity, like the

309
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers ran a trick play. For those of

310
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: you that don't watch every forty Niner game, forty nine

311
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: Ers are not a trick play team. They actually have

312
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: one go to trick play and it's a wide receiver pass.

313
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Now part of it is Juwan Jennings was once a

314
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: huge high school recruited quarterback. It kind of went viral

315
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: today on Twitter that he was ranked ahead of guys

316
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: like Sam Darnold, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson come out

317
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: of high school. Then he got to Tennessee, changed positions,

318
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think it went great toward the end

319
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: because when he gets introduced in games, he doesn't even

320
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: acknowledge Tennessee. It happened with de Shawn Jackson back in

321
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: the day because him and Jeff Tedfer butted heads. It

322
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: happens sometimes whenever you hear a player on TV, say

323
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: like Davis Senior High School, you like, something went bad

324
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: with the coach in that program, right, because usually the

325
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: guys are excited, like one to the University of Texas,

326
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: went to the University of Oregon, Go Ducks. Whenever you

327
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: hear the high school or their hometown, You're like, Oh,

328
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: something bad went down, which shouldn't happen as much now

329
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: because guys are getting paid so much money. I'd have

330
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: a huge smile on my face. I'd be like seven

331
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: million dollars University of Oregon. But I do think when

332
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Kyle busted out that trick play. I've been saying this

333
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: forever with coordinators, I don't pretend like even the shittiest

334
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: coordinators in the NFL, if you got them on a

335
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: whiteboard or you got them in front of the room

336
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: with high school coaches and just talked football, their knowledge

337
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: and understanding a ball would blow us all away. All

338
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: of us. We'd be like, what is this sky talking about?

339
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: From splits to depths, to route concepts to against all

340
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: these guys are great backup quarterbacks as well, but when

341
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: you get them on the field as a backup quarterback,

342
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: as a player, or as a position coach, as a coordinator,

343
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: and they got to start calling the plays and the

344
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: bullets start flying. Separates the men from the boys to

345
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the highest level. Speaks for college, no different in the pros.

346
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: And some people when I was saying this the other

347
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: day about Tony, the little wide receiver from Miami who's

348
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: a true freshman. Obviously, our experiences when we're young shape

349
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: our capabilities and our future talents in certain things. You know, Obviously,

350
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: playing football, there are god given metrics that you're gonna

351
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: need to play college or in the NFL. Right that

352
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: there are certain you're gonna have to have certain you know,

353
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: intellectual capacity to be a doctor or to be an

354
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: engineer when it comes to math or biology. Right, But

355
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: once you get to that level and you're surrounded by

356
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of other people at that level, they're gonna

357
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: be separating factors. And I remember watching Tony in that

358
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: the last game, thinking like this guy was born to

359
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: play football, Like his instincts in his feel for the

360
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: game are just elite. I remember hearing a story when

361
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I grew up in northern California,

362
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: right by Sacramento. My dad was a huge Cow fan,

363
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: Cal football, in Cal basketball, And I remember being pretty young,

364
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: it's probably like ten twelve years old, when Jason Kidd

365
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: was at Cow and there was all these rumors, you know,

366
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: it was like took him like five times to pass

367
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: the minimum level of SAT. Like it's very academically challenging

368
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: to get in Cow. And I don't think anyone would

369
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: consider Jason Kidd like, you know, some intellectual genius. But

370
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: in terms of basketball IQ, he's like Albert Einstein. And

371
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: in sports. One thing I learned, actually, Howie Roseman taught

372
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: me this. I remember scouting a guy and talking about

373
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: their GPA and it was like, this guy's not that smart.

374
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: He's like, was he football smart? I'm like, yes, coach,

375
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: say the guys picks it up after one try, no problem,

376
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: Like we don't care about his GPA. We're not doing

377
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: GPA here, We're doing football, right. And that's like in life,

378
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: like your GPA doesn't always translate. Do your instincts at

379
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing translate? And you watch Kyle Shanahan and

380
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: Brock Perdy the symbiotic relationship they had Colin plays obviously

381
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: the timing of that trick play, and then you watch

382
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles off operation and all you could say is like,

383
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on here? And the answer

384
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: is no one knows, because if they knew, they would

385
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: change it and fix it, but they don't have the

386
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: ability to because they're not good enough. It's really that simple.

387
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: At the highest level of the NFL, the separating factor

388
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: is like pretty small, and the difference of Kyle Shanahan

389
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: and Robert Salah compared to the Sirianni Patola combination was

390
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: a mile wide. And the sad part is like Vic

391
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: Fangio's big time. He ain't the problem. And that's why

392
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I ask, like, if you fire Sirianni, why wouldn't you

393
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: immediately go after John Harbaugh. He already has a defensive

394
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: coordinator in place. Vic is close with the Harball family,

395
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: worked for Jim four years. You could bring Todd Munkin,

396
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: who worked with Lamar Jackson and help. You know, a

397
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: couple of years ago had one of the best seasons

398
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: like NFL history, and boom, you're off and running. Here's

399
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: the other thing, Jeffrey luriy knows John Harbaugh well, he

400
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: worked there from nineteen ninety eight to two thousand and

401
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: seven before he got the Raven job. So when I

402
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: know that the Miami thing, and listen, I thought, like,

403
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, go to Miami. Miami. Job's terrible. They have

404
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: no quarterback. They actually do. He's under contract for like

405
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars to me, the Eagles. You're having a

406
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: long conversation all day tomorrow of like, not only do

407
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: we move on, but if we do, do we just

408
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: put all of our chips on the table and just

409
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: hire the guy down the road who could basically just

410
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: be a way better version of what we just had.

411
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: Because our great advantage is working for us is awesome.

412
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: We spend a bunch of money, We pick good players

413
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: who're extremely talented. We just need the coaching on the field,

414
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: something that only a small percentage of people know what

415
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: they're doing. We got the defensive coordinator and staff in place.

416
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: We just need a massive upgrade in terms of our

417
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: head coach and our offensive capability because we just saw

418
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: a guy who is elite. You don't go nine and

419
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: four with Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy over the course

420
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: of seven years and not be a leade at your job.

421
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: And obviously perty's better player than Jimmy Garoppolo, but no

422
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: one's getting pretty confused with Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen.

423
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: And it looked like I thought when he threw the

424
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: second half interception that was gonna doom though, but he

425
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: didn't because one thing the forty nine ers have going

426
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: for them is mental toughness, and they're pretty unfaced and

427
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: they might go down, but they're gonna go down swinging.

428
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: And it's felt like the Eagles. You know, the AJ

429
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: Brown situation was like, uh, there's a disconnect, and that

430
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: to me starts like you're either coaching or allowing it

431
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: to happen, back to the Belichick old saying, and it

432
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: is true, and they got major problems. So the Eagles

433
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: is definitely something to keep a tight eye on, and

434
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers move on to play Seattle, which

435
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: I think the Niners and the Bears just had all

436
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: time like validation season wins. Like the forty nine Ers

437
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: with their injuries, had no business going twelve and five

438
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: and definitely no business winning a playoff game on the

439
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: road as a big underdog. The Chicago Bears, who've had

440
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: one of the crazier seasons you'll ever see. At down

441
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: twenty one to three at home, just honestly had no

442
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: business winning that game, and winning those two games, there's

443
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: almost a freedom like what do we gotta lose? Moving forward? Now,

444
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: I do think that the Bears are healthier, especially after

445
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: Kittle's gone. Moving forward, they got more offensive firepower, but

446
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: both defenses have major question marks. Made some individual plays,

447
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: but at any given moment, you were just kind of

448
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: on your heels, like, I don't know if this is

449
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna work, but just pretty incredible moments, which shows you

450
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: the power coaching, shows you the power of offensive innovative coaching,

451
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: and I think the Eagles were a great example of

452
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: the opposite. Today's show is brought to you by our

453
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet, the official sportsbook partner of

454
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: the AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars. Duval is gonna be

455
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: jacked up this weekend. You know what I love doing

456
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: with these standalone playoff games, same game parlays, baby, lock

457
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: in one matchup at a time, and stack your picks.

458
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Maybe a quarterback throws a two hundred fifty yards, maybe

459

482
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: not gonna go away. I am guiltiest charge. I have

483
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: been a defender. I defend Justin her Herbert and have

484
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: consistently defended Justin Herbert. I thought tonight he was pretty bad.

485
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: There were a lot of throws in the middle of

486
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the game where balls are air mailing people. Now as

487
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: the game went on and he's just getting shellacked. The

488
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: whole thing just crumbled. But there was a stretch where

489
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots were basically trying to say take the game

490
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: from us, and a lot like the forty nine ers,

491
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh was going into this game, let's just make

492
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: this thing weird. Let's muddy this thing up and make

493
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: it weird. And it was. They just needed a couple

494
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: of plays from their fifty million dollar quarterback, who physically

495
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: is as gifted as anyone in the NFL. But I

496
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: thought tonight, in the meat of the game, when it

497
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: was there to be like, Hey, a couple of touchdown

498
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: drives all of a sudden, you'd be up fourteen to six,

499
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: fourteen to nine, like you would take a commanding lead

500
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: in this thing. And clearly they are struggling cold weather,

501
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: they lose their best corner, and he just didn't play

502
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: very well. Now I'm not out on him, I don't

503
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: you know. It's one of those situations where you're like,

504
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: this is not nothing. He's zero and three in the playoffs,

505
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: and he clearly does not look good, and tonight he

506
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: did not look good. Now I also think there's two

507
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: parts to like the statement, he did not look good

508
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: and well, okay, we just got to figure it out.

509
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: We got to just play through it. He's not going anywhere.

510
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: What do you want to do get rid of them?

511
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: What are your other options? There aren't any, So I mean,

512
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: you're all in on this. Help. I saw your backup

513
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: quarterback play Denver in week eighteen. Never do that again.

514
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: So you just got to figure this out. And I

515
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: think the best way to figure this out. I think

516
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: it's fair to say you're not Josh Allen. I mean,

517
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: there's a level in which he is not peaking in

518
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Hey, listen, he's missing some offensive lineman to

519
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: star offensive linemen. Their running back situation, the running their

520
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: rookie running back from North Carolina, pretty big question mark

521
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: right now looks pretty slow to me, Like I would

522
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: be a little nervous if I was those guys big

523
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: picture about that selection. For the next six months, I'm

524
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: sending that guy to speed training. We're gonna work on

525
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: an explosion, short area quickness. I'm gonna need a little

526
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: more burst, big boy, because the speed in which you're

527
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: running is just not good enough. But like as stories

528
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: like this grow, when you're as talented as Herbert and

529
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: you're viewed as one of the six seven, five, six

530
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: to seven best quarterbacks in the NFL, your standard in

531
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs is way higher. And right now he's oning three.

532
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: And obviously last year he played one of the worst

533
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: games in the history of the league. Right five interceptions,

534
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: It was atrocious. Tonight wasn't that bad, but it was

535
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: not good. And you're playing a guy who's playing his

536
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: first playoffs start in Drake May who honestly throughout the

537
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: game wasn't playing that well either. Started heating up in

538
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: the second half, making some runs, made a couple of

539
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: big throws and kind of just settled down. He'd be like, well,

540
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: his team's a little bit better and definitely healthier. Kind

541
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: of like his his number four overall pick left tackle

542
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: is getting picked up by Khalil Mack, who's probably one

543
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: of the stronger guys in the league history, and just

544
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: driven back into him constantly. But like Drake Mayo played him.

545
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Not that he played great. I'm not compared to Drake

546
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: made to Josh Allen on Sunday, but he definitely outplayed

547
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and Drake may has played one real year

548
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: of football, because I definitely don't count last year in

549
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: his college crews at North Carolina. Did he ever play

550
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: in a big game in college? Not trying to shitt

551
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: on the ACC here, but definitely that program's not like

552
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: they're playing, you know, Alabama and LSU in the playoffs,

553
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: so like this is a big game, bright lights game.

554
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: Herbert's been there, done that, played in Rose Bulls, started

555
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: now in multiple playoff games. It should have been a

556
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: huge advantage for him. He's got Jim Harball on his

557
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: side right the coaching, the Patriot coaching is elite. Vray Bull,

558
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, so's Jim Harbaugh staff. Jesse Mentor probably could

559
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: be a head coach here in two weeks. Jim Harbaugh's

560
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: won how many playoff games guys won? How many games

561
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: the guy I won in his career? Greg Roman takes

562
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: a lot of shit. I saw Greg Roman win a

563
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of games with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick. Lamar Jackson,

564
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: like his resume is not as bad as the way

565
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: he gets discussed. I think sometimes people talk about him

566
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: like he's Raiders Chip Kelly. Like, no, guys, he's not bad.

567
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: He kind of knows what he's doing. Is he perfect? No,

568
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: would you ideally want a little better, of course, but

569
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: he's not that bad. And you see tonight like, I

570
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: don't know, something's just off. I don't know even I

571
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: don't really have like some strong opinion. I don't know why.

572
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: But oh and three and it's just one of those

573
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: stories that is just not gonna go away. It happens sometimes.

574
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: I love Barry Bonds as a kid. For a lot

575
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: of his career might have been prey Jews. He didn't

576
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: play very well in the playoffs. Alex Ardriguez had that happen.

577
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Baseball is a little different, just because you only get

578
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: so many at bats, you have five game series, it

579
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: can be a little skewed, but like it wasn't nothing

580
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: after a while. And that's what I would say about

581
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: this justin Herbert thing. It's like it's gonna be a

582
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: massive story. And until he wins a playoff game, people

583
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: did want to kind of go counterculture and hang a

584
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: left when everyone's hanging a right, kind of always can

585
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: hang that above everyone's head. Wake me when he wins

586
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Don't wake me when Josh Allen wins

587
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: a playoff game, because he wins a lot of them.

588
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: He just happens to not be able to beat the

589
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: Kansasity Chiefs. Well, I took out my binoculars to day

590
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: and I look, the Kancay Chiefs are nowhere to be found.

591
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: They don't exist in this playoff run. Patrick Mahomes obviously

592
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: has torn acl and his team's not represented, so he's

593
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: playing the Jacks, who were as hot as any team

594
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're really, really good. Liam Cohen has

595
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: done a great job and he went in and kicked

596
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: the shit out of him. Josh Allen was incredible today.

597
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: He was a one man wrecking crew. He's really more

598
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: like something you would see in basketball. He did it all.

599
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: There was nothing he couldn't do. On top of slamming

600
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: his hand into a helmet, getting his knee twisted on

601
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown run, he took a quarterback sneak like twelve yard. Honestly,

602
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen that. He was just

603
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: had the game where sometimes people like used to write

604
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: about this type stuff back when newspapers existed and we

605
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: had sports columnists and I grew up reading them all

606
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: of like, this was a man that just wouldn't be denied.

607
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: And that's what it felt like today, because if you

608
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: flip the quarterbacks in that game, Jacksonville would have won

609
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: by twenty five points. They would have killed the Bills.

610
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: I've come around on Trevor Lawrence over the last couple

611
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: of years, like anyone that watched football is like, I'm out,

612
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't see it. There was no denying down the

613
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: stretch of this season. He did look really good. Today

614
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: was not that day. Made a couple good passes, obviously,

615
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: threw a couple of touchdowns, but overall he was all

616
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: over the map. And sometimes these young coaches and listen,

617
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's probably the only guy in twenty twenty six

618
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: that will just keep calling runs and have no problem

619
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: even when it's not working. Even Ben Johnson like he's like, Okay,

620
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: I just got a pass. Most young coaches are Sean

621
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: McVay is the skinny jacked version of Andy Reid. Wants

622
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: to pass it NonStop. Did you see that game against Carolina?

623
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: It's like, Sean, why are you passing so much? You

624
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: know what? They love to pass. Kevin O'Connell loves calling

625
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: pass plays. Liam Cohen clearly likes calling pass plays. Watching

626
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: this games like you're running at will against these guys.

627
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: Have you watched the Bills in the playoffs over the

628
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: last couple of years. They're not that big. You can

629
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: lean on them. Eat Entrant had twenty five carries, but

630
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: he just kept calling down the field passes and it

631
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: wasn't really working. And then at the end of the game, listen,

632
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: I disagreed with McDermott when he just scored on the

633
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: essentially Josh push. I would have melt it, ran it

634
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: down to like high twenties, call the time out and

635
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: ran that play three times because I wouldn't have wanted

636
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: to risk the way the kickoff rule is. I mean,

637
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: their kicker can hit it from like seventy yards. I

638
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: would have done that, but obviously it worked. A couple

639
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: of plays later they pick it off in the game's over,

640
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: I thought, And I also understand you don't want to

641
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: tempt fate a fumble something weird happens. I get it,

642
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: But that was a massive win, and I think sometimes

643
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: it's cool. And I've said this forever. I watched sports

644
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: for the best players. I was lucky, right. I was

645
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: grew up in the nineties, like most kids, idolized Michael Jordan.

646
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: I love golf, love Tiger Woods, like those are my

647
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: two favorite athletes by far. And then my favorite baseball

648
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: team had Barry Bonds from like when I was ten

649
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: years old up until I was graduating college, so like,

650
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: I watched it. And then when I worked in radio

651
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: with Steph Curry, I went to a ton of Warriors

652
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: games in his heyday when he was winning MVPs. That's

653
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: why I'm not a huge like watch it for the

654
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: little guy that could, like that doesn't do it for me.

655
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: I want to watch Peyton Manning. I want to watch

656
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I want to watch Steph Curry. I want

657
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: to watch the best of the best, and I pay

658
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: to watch Josh Allen. I really would and listen to

659
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. A good player, but kind of like you know,

660
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, they're like the middle of the pack. When

661
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: they're on, they can be have top ten games, but

662
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: they're not top ten quarterbacks. Especially Trevor Lawrence, he's on

663
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: a low end of that. He got hot there first

664
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: stretch at the end of the season, but we saw

665
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: at home in a very conducive environment in seventy five degrees.

666
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: It's funny also, like I love the playoffs because you'll

667
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: just go to Chicago and it's like a it's like

668
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: a snow globe. You watch Philly, it's like this thing

669
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: is freezing, like domb. I know you're a big boy,

670
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: but how do you not have an extra jacket on?

671
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: How did some of these guys not have beanies on?

672
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: And then you go to Jacksonville it's like, yeah, we

673
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: got no taxes, were all in the pool. Sun's out

674
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: December tenth, were sweating, Like yeah, hard to beat that. Man.

675
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I'm a warm weather guy, and

676
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: like I like that, but that didn't benefit them because

677
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: Josh got loose and he got it. He worked him today,

678
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: he really did. And I thought Trevor Lawrence just his

679
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: numbers don't look that bad. I think he was eighteen

680
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: to thirty. But I don't know, man. I think it

681
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: was closer to the guy that I remember than the

682
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: guy that he thought he had become the last couple

683
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: of months. And some of it's on his coach, like

684
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: run the ball. Other than that, you know, we got

685
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: we know the games now. We got Bill's Denver, we

686
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: got New England playing whoever wins tomorrow. We got the

687
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: Niners playing Seattle, and we got the Rams playing Chicago.

688
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: That's that's a pretty good slate. And I think a

689
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: quick look ahead to this tomorrow game. And I mentioned

690
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: this to Coward when we were recording, is if this

691
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: was a Disney movie, right, if this was I just

692
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: watched F one the other day and like the legendary

693
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: guy got to win the last race, you would be like,

694
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is gonna throw a bunch of touchdowns. The

695
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: record on Monday Night football is gonna continue. It's gonna

696
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: be awesome. But this is the NFL. This is not

697
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: reality television. I know people think they script this, they don't,

698
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: and more than likely, like, this is not gonna end well, right,

699
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: He's playing a team as an underdog with an elite defense.

700
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: And I was I was flipping the channels this morning

701
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: at the gym when I was trying to get a

702
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: little sweat before the games, and Aiden Hutchinson was at

703
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the in the studio with ESPN guys, and he was

704
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: talking about his experience playing Rogers and he's like, it's

705
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: not really fun because he's gonna get rid of the

706
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: ball so fast that however many plays you have on offense,

707
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna be passes. Let's say forty to forty five,

708
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, maybe less. You're gonna have two or three

709
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: chances over that entire time because of how quick he's

710
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of it to sack him. And when

711
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: you get that opportunity, just better not you better not miss.

712
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: And the thing is these Textan guys don't miss. Denil

713
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: Hunter and Will and Will Anderson are just not gonna miss.

714
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: So if they get in the position where they are down,

715
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: they would be in major trouble. And obviously DK is

716
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna have fresh legs, but is he out of rhythm,

717
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 1: they're missing Darnel Washington with a broken arm. Let's face it,

718
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: they are extremely lucky to be playing in this game.

719
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: If John Harbaugh one with twelve seconds left in a timeout,

720
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: if he got a little more aggressive, that field goal

721
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 1: should have been closer. And it's a tough place to kick.

722
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: But how often is this guy missing that kick? I

723
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: know he's a rookie, but less than twenty five percent

724
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: of the time. So if he kicks it ten times,

725
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: he's hitting seven or eight of them. So the Steelers

726
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: are very, very fortunate to be here. But part of

727
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: the reason they're fortunate is because their defense isn't that good.

728
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: Like they've moved Jalen Ramsey to safety. He blew multiple

729
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: things in that game that cost him. So he is

730
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: an all time great player right man. Jalen in his

731
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: prime was just elite. His versatility, his size, his physicality

732
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: as a tackler. I'm a big Jalen Ramsey fan, but

733
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: like at certain positions, when you get old, you kind

734
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: of fall off a cliff. He's just not quite the

735
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: same guy. And their pass rush isn't that great. And

736
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: while Cam Hayward played the game of his definitely over

737
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: the last several years he's been an older player. It

738
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was like watching John Randall or something

739
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: in his prime. He was dominating that Raven. Can you

740
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: do that again? And I'm a cam Heyward. Guys come

741
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: on this podcast before TJ. Watt lot of respect for him,

742
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: but that injury, Like, did you really notice his presence

743
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: last week? I just have a hard time seeing this

744
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: go well for the Pittsburgh Steelers and if they lose

745
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: that game, listen, I know we had kind of talked

746
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: about it. We would talk about Tomlin forever. He never

747
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: gets fired. I never expected them to fire John Harbaugh,

748
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: not in a million years. It was honestly one of

749
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: the more shocking NFL news over the course of the

750
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: last i don't know, six plus months, where you just

751
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: see it in your jaw drops. You can't convince me

752
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: if the Houston Texas beat him by seven and ten

753
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: fourteen points. The last two playoff games they played, they've

754
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: been blown out by the Ravens and the Bills. If

755
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: that happens again, you got all these older players, the

756
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: conversation is gonna only get louder. And now they're all

757
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: these jobs open and like, would it be time to pivot?

758
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: Is now the time? So I listen. I think it

759
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: would be cool if the Steelers were to win this game.

760
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: With my heart, I would enjoy watching a throwback Rogers game.

761
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: It was awesome watching that fourth quarter against the Ravens.

762
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not betting on it. I'm actually betting against it.

763
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the Houston Txans in this game.

764
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: I actually love the Houston Dexans in this game. I

765
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: think they could smother them and absolutely destroy them. And

766
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: those runs that were going against the Ravens where Jalen

767
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: Warren is breaking tackles like he's Walter Payton or Earl Campbell,

768
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: I don't envision that happening on Monday night. And then,

769
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think this loot. You lose at home,

770
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's not looking well, you get

771
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: some booze like you saw it today in Philly. When

772
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't go well at home, it can just get weird,

773
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: and it can get weird really quick. It wasn't that

774
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: We're not that far removed from them, like Channing fire

775
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: Tomlin wasn't you know six months ago? That was like

776
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: two weeks ago against so It's like, guys, I just

777
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: think that I think we're seeing the end of it all.

778
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: I really do, and I'm more convinced now than ever

779
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: this league. There's a lot of moving parts. We're gonna

780
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: learn more about Lafleur over the next couple days. Obviously,

781
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: have thoughts, however that thing shakes out, This John Harbaughs situation,

782
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: the Sirianni situation, we got a lot going on and

783
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: it's just a crazy time in the NFL, A lot

784
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: like college football, but even on a much higher level.

785
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: You can fire anyone at any moment, because paying someone

786
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 1: twenty thirty to fifty million dollars to these NFL owners

787
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: now is like change that I could find in my

788
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: desk drawer. It means nothing to them. Imagine paying someone

789
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: to go away and owing them and the staff sixty

790
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: seventy million dollars and not even blinking, not even thinking

791
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: twice help the Raiders. A couple of years ago, before

792
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Brady and the money got involved, they paid Josh McDaniels

793
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: and Dave Ziegeler are combined like seventy million dollars to

794
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: leave to pack your shit and go. Mark Davis is

795
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: not you know, Steve Balmer, but he has that much

796
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: money because of that's what the league generates from the

797
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: media deals. So all these coaches at all times, unless

798
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: you're Andy Reid, you just never know Sean McVay and

799
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: like Kyle Shan. It's a very short list of guys

800
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: that are truly totally safe. Any other guy, like if

801
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: people have some conversations, you pissed the wrong guy off you,

802
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: you don't manage up well enough, put your stuff in

803
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: a cardboard box and get the hell out of there.

804
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: That's how fast it changes, and that's it makes the

805
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: league a little more unpredictable. You know, the guys aren't

806
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: just gonna hold jobs for as long just because I

807
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: like you. Look at Wheree Morris. People love the guy.

808
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: He tied for first place, now granted it was eight nine.

809
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 1: They given the owner a hug, is like his wife,

810
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: his family's hugs, like for every game, and like Raheem,

811
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: you gotta go. We love you, but you're not coaching

812
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: this team, buddy, And I give Raheem props because if

813
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: someone paid me. The American dream is not a white

814
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: pick offence, a dog, a couple of kids. It's to

815
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: be paid millions of dollars to not work. That's I

816
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: can't even And you know what I saw Raheem basically

817
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: the guy like, if you don't hire me to bad coach,

818
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go TV. It's like I would do do that.

819
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: Enjoy your life, that smart man. I'll end on this.

820
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: It's official now that Matt Ryan will be the boss

821
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. They created some title He's above the GM

822
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: and the coach. Matt Ryan made hundreds of millions of

823
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: dollars playing football, because when you're a professional athlete, especially

824
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean Matt Ryan played longer than most professional athletes.

825
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: If you're at the top of your field as a

826
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 1: quarterback at whatever position, as a baseball player, basketball player,

827
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: when you retire in your late thirties, you have accumulated

828
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: an goodly amount of money. Yet, especially a guy like

829
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, you're healthy, you got another forty to fifty

830
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: years ahead of you, You've probably got a young family,

831
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: you got literally the world by the balls, and then

832
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: you take some cush CBS job which is probably paying

833
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 1: you a million bucks. Just go in the studio, hangout

834
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: toxin ball. You do not need to sign up to

835
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: go get back into the world of grinding, because that's

836
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: what football is. If you're going to go into the

837
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: office every day, it is a grind. It's not a

838
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: place where people are smiling and having a great time

839
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: every day. It's a very serious, stressful, kind of angry environment,

840
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: which a lot of people like. Honestly, a lot of

841
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: these guys are addicted to that environment. You know, they

842
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: said in the movie Heat, the action is the juice.

843
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys you know what

844
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: the juice is. It's not just Sunday running out there

845
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: to play in front of seventy thousand. It's like the

846
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: grind of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. It's like the grind of

847
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: showing up at the office to get a workout at

848
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: six am and being there till ten o'clock at night.

849
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: It's the grind of just having to figure it out

850
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: on the fly on a Wednesday with some injuries and

851
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: just everyone on their fifth cup of coffee, third can

852
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: of the week of Copenhagen and just seventh pill of

853
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: adderall and just grinding in the office. It's some people

854
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: are just addicted to it. And Matt Ryan did not

855
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: need to do this. Now, I'm not acting like Arthur

856
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: Blank's paying him two hundred grand to accept this gick.

857
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: He's making millions of dollars, but like, not enough to

858
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: change his life. His life's already been changed by the

859
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: money he made playing. So when you signed back up

860
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: to go grind like this and you saw the clip

861
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: of John Lynch on the sideline, another guy did not

862
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: need to be doing this. Anyone that watched the Lway

863
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: documentary was like, I missed it. I just wanted to

864
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: do it. He became the GM of the Broncos, Like,

865
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: these guys can go play golf, hang out, do whatever

866
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: they want, get involved in businesses, do some TV. I

867
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: respect the hell out of these guys to just go

868
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: you know what, I miss the juice. I miss it.

869
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: I missed the misery, and I do admire and respect

870
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: that from these guys that are worth just so much

871
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: damn money and don't need the misery in their life,

872
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: but it kind of fulfills them because that's kind of

873
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: what football is, and working in football is not. The games,

874
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: like the three hour game day that you and I

875
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: watch on our couch is such a small sliver of

876
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: the actual job. It's it's probably over the course of

877
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: a season, I don't know two three percent of the gig,

878
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: So props to Matt Ryan. And I talked about this

879
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: on a podcast a couple of weeks ago because Pelsarro

880
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: on the NFL Network had a reported that he was

881
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: going to try to do both jobs, and he shot

882
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: that down. He said, I'm done with CBS. I was

883
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: watching him to day when he talked about it, like

884
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: he thanked everyone. You could tell he's kind of getting

885
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: emotional and just saying like they gave him this opportunity

886
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: and he was appreciative. And I would say the other thing,

887
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, the thing with quarterbacks. I thought that i'd

888
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: say this with Philip Rivers. You know, Drew Brees, a

889
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: guy I got respect for Drew Brees, who I thought

890
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: was terrible on TV. He's gotten much better, like they

891
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: just happened to be, especially Matt Ryan. Six' five with

892
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: a good. Arm If Matt ryan couldn't throw the ball

893
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: five yards and just would have had to go work in, economics,

894
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: right he would have ran a, bank he would have

895
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: started a, business have been really Like Matt ryan was

896
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: destined to be a very very successful. Guy SO i

897
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: would tell you, This it would not shock me at

898
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: all if he was a BETTER gm than he was a.

899
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: Quarterback he was a good quarterback obviously had the ONE

900
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: mvp season that was the. Outlier mostly it was just

901
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: like a, consistent somewhere between like seven to twelve, guy

902
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: guy you could win with if you had a good.

903
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: Team if he, didn't it could go sour. Fast but

904
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: he was always really really impressive in really really. SHARP

905
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: i felt like he was smarter than he was. Talented

906
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: and if he really goes all in on this and

907
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: leans on the people he, knows he's been. Lucky he's

908
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: been around a lot of coaches in his career In,

909
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: atlanta and If lafleur became available Because Green bay fired,

910
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: him he was his quarterback coach when he won THE

911
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: mvp working For kyle when shocked me at, off they

912
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: hired him. Immediately so you know he's going to need

913
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: to lean on people for THE gm scouting. Aspect obviously

914
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: he's never done. That but the thing when You're Matt
