Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, beat him by a couple scores, playing well,

5
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: the offense is rolling. So we'll dive into the Chiefs,

6
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: dive into the Lions. Some other stuff that happened to

00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: about Sean Payton, Lafleur, Baker Mayfield, is he really gonna

10
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: win the MVP? James Franklin was fired to Penn State,

11
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,400

Speaker 1: You can listen and find us wherever you consume your podcast.

19
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: But I wanted to start with the Chiefs and one

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: theme really the last several years has been the offense.

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: What's up with the offense? I think last year was

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: really clear their offensive line was not good. Their left

23
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: tackle position was a major issue. They had to move

24
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: their star interior offensive lineman to patchwork it out to

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: left tackle, and he by far was their best option.

26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: And he's a guard. And I think you see this

27
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: year the importance. Like a lot of people thought Kansas

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: City was crazy when they gave Jalen Moore like two

29
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: years thirty billion dollars from the San Fransco forty nine

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: ers and he wasn't even the San Fransco forty nine

31
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: ers starter. He was their backup swing tackle. It's like, wait,

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna give a backup that much money. It's like, well, yeah,

33
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: the guy can play. He just happened to back up

34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. So it's like for a lot of teams

35
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: he would have been a starter. And here's the thing.

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Free agency comes before the draft. So would they have

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: done it if they knew they were gonna draft Simmons

38
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: from Ohio State? Probably not. But you don't know that

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This is not the NBA, where it's

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: the opposite, right, You go in the order in which

41
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: the transaction transaction cycle comes and they didn't have a

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: left tackle, so they paid, given the amount of money,

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: they had their best option, and then they drafted one

44
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: and it put them been a position in a game

45
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: like tonight where Josh Simmons I was recorded with Colin

46
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they said anything before the

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: game started or early on in that game. By the

48
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: time I came, the game had already kind of I

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: think it was like six to three or whatever. I

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: got with like a couple of minutes left to go

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. But I saw the headline before that.

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: He's dealing with the personal issue. He wasn't even there,

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: so like wasn't even available because he's not even at

54
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the stadium. So it's like, what are you gonna do

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: a star left tack? I mean, Josh Simmons has been

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: a home run steal. I bet if you would ask

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Brett Veach in free agency, do you think Josh Simmons

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be there at the end of the first round.

59
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: He might have laughed at no chance, right, but he

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: is and he's been a stud, but then he disappears,

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: So what do you do? You insert Jalen Moore, who

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: obviously was really good tonight and gave them a chance

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: against you know, they can move a pass rusher all around,

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: like Aiden Hudson is one of the better younger players

65
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And sometimes like your team's not always

66
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect. And obviously last year the Chiefs made

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowl with an offensive line that

68
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: was a major question mark at least on the tackle positions.

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Is pretty crazy. Then this year they have depth at

70
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: the left tackle position. Think how dramatically that changed in

71
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: one offseason and it was on full display tonight. And

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: the other thing is this, and I said this earlier

73
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: in the season and I meant it because it's what

74
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: we were all seeing, is that Travis Kelsey looked really old.

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: And then Andy Reid four checked him against the New

76
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: York Giants and it was like not playful, like he

77
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: was dead serious. And then when he was interviewed at halftime,

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: like we needed some juice. And this is where coaching

79
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: and relationships and we talk about this all the time, like,

80
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of know people or know

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: people through friends, and then there's people you've known for

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: twenty years. There's people you went to high school with.

83
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: There's people you grew up with, there's people you went

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: to college with. And as you get older, you realize

85
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: how strong those bonds are because you knew that other

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: person when you had nothing, when the relationship was very pure.

87
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: And as your lives change, as you get kids, as professional,

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, desires changed, you move around the country, that

89
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: bond you have with those humans can never be broken.

90
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: And there is a bond that Andy Reid has with

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey that is pretty unique. It's not very often

92
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: that a coach, you know, is a round a player

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: for well over a decade in the National Football League.

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: And Travis kelce if he retires this year or next year,

95
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: it's going to retire a chief. He's not gonna play

96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: for another team. As Mike Tarico said, the life of

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: a tight end. And here's the thing with Travis Kelcey.

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Last couple weeks, he's looked good. He's looked younger again.

99
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was a motivation talk.

100
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if coach Reid had been on him,

101
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: but tonight he was huge, and really the last couple

102
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: games after the Giants game, listen, I know the Ravens

103
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: are a match unit, but five for forty eight. Last

104
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: week against the Jags, he had seven for sixty one

105
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: in a touchdown, and then tonight he had six for

106
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: seventy eight, and you just really felt his presence. Big

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: third down catches, just big first downs, big working in

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: the zone, just you know, working the open areas. He

109
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: just looked quicker, He looked a little more explosive. He

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: looked kind of like the younger version. Now can he

111
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: do this every week? I don't know at thirty four

112
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: to thirty five years old, but as long as he

113
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: has this in him to go with, like Juji's pretty

114
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: solid player. Hollywood Brown has been big for them. Obviously

115
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: getting Xavier Worthy back like he can make some explosive plays.

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: They got Rashid Rice coming. I mean that offense is

117
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: pretty well rounded. Even when they asked coach Reid at halftime,

118
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: like what are you looking to do with the second half,

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, we want to continue to be

120
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: solid on the ground and sling that ball like Andy

121
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: Reid wants to sling that ball. And the way you

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: can do that is having Travis Kelcey play well, freeze

123
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: everything up for the other wide receivers. And let's face it,

124
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: this Chiefs team is not going to have Tyreek Hill

125
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: in his prime or like when Coach Reid was in Philly,

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: Deshaun Jackson and young Jeremy Macklin. It's not quite that.

127
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: But this group's pretty good as he you did, and

128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: they have one of the best players in league history.

129
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: And you've seen the last couple of nights or the

130
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and you definitely saw to night

131
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: that like, he's pretty special. And what was he night?

132
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Twenty two to thirty for two hundred and fifty yards

133
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. He made some huge plays with his legs.

134
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: He was really accurate. He was just really good. The

135
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 1: thing for Patrick mahomes to be good. I do feel

136
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: like we go back to a couple of years ago

137
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: when the stats were a lot better. It was like

138
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Travis was a major factor. And I do think that

139
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: like when Travis plays well. We talked about this on

140
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night, Like Scataboo's kind of the heart and soul

141
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: of the offense. You can just feel it when you

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: watch the Giants. The guy's a rookie like Travis. Over

143
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: the course of Patrick's career. When he's making big plays,

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: it feels like their offense unstoppable. And obviously the Lions

145
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of injuries. I'm not trying to act

146
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: like they were the eighty five Bears, and they're gonna

147
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: have to play better teams as the season goes on.

148
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure, especially as the as the weather turns, it's

149
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: not gonna be as easy as it is. In terms

150
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: of their secondary, they had a mash unit, missing a

151
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: ton of corners, even lost to dB during the game

152
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph. But like that was a confident team and

153
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: we saw last week they scored what twenty eight points?

154
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: This week they score thirty. Hell, they had a Super

155
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Bowl team that it felt like had stretches during the

156
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: season where they were struggling to score twenty points. So

157
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: if you're gonna tell me the Chiefs are gonna start

158
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: scoring above twenty five to thirty points every week, they're

159
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games and a lot of people.

160
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I remember Colin said, like after the Monday night game,

161
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, what's he talking about? They're coming Just when

162
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback plays like that and your offense looks like that,

163
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: they have one of the highest paid defensive coordinators in

164
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: the league, and their defensive personnel is probably not as

165
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: good as it was a couple of years ago, but

166
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: still pretty good. And there's a standard, and there's a culture,

167
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: and there's a physicality to the way they play. And

168
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: I think he saw tonight, you know, the way that

169
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: game ended, Chris getting called out. It was pretty embarrassing,

170
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, going viral for just kind of standing there.

171
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: I saw coach Reied got asked about it. Maybe that

172
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: was like Wednesday or Friday. And even he it's not like,

173
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do pretend it didn't happen. He's like, yeah,

174
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: this kind of can't happen. And you saw Chris Jones

175
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: and Night a couple of times, like, eh, motherfucker came

176
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: to play. Is not messing around. So I'm not acting

177
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are headed back to the super Bowl.

178
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: But one thing they got going for him, I mean

179
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: really got going for him is look around the AFC.

180
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see Buffalo tomorrow. I'm sure they'll probably win,

181
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: but they are and once Saul said none, they're probably

182
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna be the number one seed. I don't view them

183
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: honestly a couple of years ago, the Ravens when they

184
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: were the number one seed. I'm like, this is a

185
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: complete team, right, when the Chiefs have had times when

186
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: they were the number one seeds, like I don't want

187
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: to play them, right, the Eagles last year one seed.

188
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: It's not what the AFC feels like. It's like the

189
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, who I'm pretty sure are like five and one, right,

190
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: the Bills who are probably gonna be five and one.

191
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: The Ravens are gonzo. I know. John Harbaugh's like I

192
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: still got hope, Like there is no hope. John Lamar

193
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: can come back, Roquad can come back. You're one and five,

194
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: So do the math. You got eleven more games to

195
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: get to nine wins. You'd have to do what go

196
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: eight and two, eight and three? Like, you're not doing that?

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Your defense stakes, you had pride today, but it's over.

198
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: The Bengals, their quarterbacks disappeared, the Chargers half their rosters

199
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. The Denver Broncos, their quarterback completed three

200
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: passes in the second half against by far the worst

201
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: team in the league right now. So this is a

202
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: unique time in the AFC because the last couple of

203
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: years like AFC sacked Lamar Burrow. Doesn't feel like that

204
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: right now. It's like Aaron Rodgers, forty one years old

205
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: in chiefs lose a sleep playing Aaron Rodgers. You think

206
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: Coach Reid's gonna sit a his alarm extra early to

207
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: get ready for a forty one year old Aaron Rodgers.

208
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: And that's not a shot of Aaron Rodgers playing well.

209
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: But like, he ain't Lamar Jackson, you know, he ain't

210
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. That's not what we're talking about here. But

211
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: that's the AFC. It's like forty one year old Aaron

212
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Daniel Jones. So again, who's playing really well?

213
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: And I have a lot of respect for the Colts,

214
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: But that's my point that this is not your typical

215
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: super top heavy. It kind of feels like the SEC.

216
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: I watched his See he's a good conference, a ton

217
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: of NFL players, a lot of good teams. But this

218
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a couple of years ago. And it's

219
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: like Bama Georgia, like watch out, good luck, godspeed, it's

220
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: not the case here now. Defensively, they're gonna continue to

221
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: get tested now they do, got the Raiders coming up

222
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: next week. That's a win. Then they got the Commanders.

223
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Then they got a tough stretch at the Bills, at

224
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos, the Colts. Still got some cowboys mixed in there,

225
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: the Texans, the Chargers, the Titans, the Broncos, the Raiders.

226
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: I've said it all along. They're three and three. This

227
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: feels more like a ten or eleven win team than

228
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: it does previous years. But I saw him go to

229
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl a couple of years when they win

230
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: eleven and five. Now, part of winning ten games, you're

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: not getting to buy, but you then chiefs are worried

232
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: about going on the road and in the playoffs. And

233
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: tell me this what AFC team. Let's say it's the Steelers.

234
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Let's say the other three seed Steelers win twelve games,

235
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: they cruise to the AFC North. I got news for

236
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: you about the Steelers. They're going to win the AFC

237
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: North probably early December. It'll be over. I mean, the

238
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: Browns stink. I mean they can't get a first down

239
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: to save their life. The Bengals bringing Joe Flacco and

240
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: they even got some life, and they're not gonna win

241
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: any games. And the Ravens are just screwed because of

242
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: all the injuries. So the Steelers just because I don't

243
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: know partly the division, and listen, they've played well, they

244
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: go twelve wins. There might not be another team in

245
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: that division to win seven. So okay, you're the three seed.

246
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: It's like the Bills, the Colts, the Steelers. What if

247
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are the sixth seed? It's like, what's the

248
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: line on that game? You think a lot of people

249
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: are just gonna hammer the Steelers in that spot, especially

250
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs continue to show life. So I'm just

251
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: or it's the Colts. I'm not even again. I'm enjoying

252
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Steelers renaissance like I want them to be good. It's fun.

253
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Let's say it's the Colts, right, you think the Colts

254
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: the three seed against or the Jags and they got

255
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: to play the Chiefs in the first round. You feel

256
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: good about that matchup for those teams. My point, So

257
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,359
Speaker 1: you got Spags, you got Coach Reed, you got Patrick Mahone,

258
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: you got Kelsey's just trying to generate all this enthusiasm

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: for this new album release, and all of a sudden,

260
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: you go, god, this team looks a little pressure. They

261
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: look okay, I feel pretty bullish and on the flip side,

262
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy. It's not quite the forty nine ers,

263
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: but they just have a lot of injuries every single year.

264
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: And I did have the thought of, I mean, at

265
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: one point in time when it looked like maybe the

266
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: Lions could win this game. It's like, as Jared Goff,

267
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: a sneaky MVP candidate, he was like, at one point

268
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: in time, he only had a couple incompletions, he'd thrown

269
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. He's probably got no chance to

270
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: win the NBA, but he's a good player. Their skill

271
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: group is pretty special, I mean, Laporta, the one touchdown

272
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone that they're running

273
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: back duo of Montgomery and Gibbs is just pretty elite.

274
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams and Amanas Saint Brown an in factor in Laporta,

275
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: like find me five better skill guys on a team.

276
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: And then kind of like the Chiefs, all of a sudden,

277
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: their starting left tackle goes down, they put their backup

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: in boom, they don't skip a beat. So pretty solid.

279
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, most teams, if they lose their starting left tackle,

280
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: it's like, what are we gonna do? Because the drop

281
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: off is side the size of the Grand Canyon. But

282
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: you look tonight, you go, you know, defense is gonna

283
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: be their problem because offensively, I know they only scored

284
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: seventeen points, but that's not a spot that I'm gonna

285
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: worry about them. And this was this was a great

286
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: spot for Kansas City Sunday night at home at Arrowhead. Like,

287
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: even if Detroit is a twelve or thirteen win team,

288
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one of their losses. Right, So,

289
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they were an underdog for a reason. Chiefs

290
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: are better. I got news for you. But I'm still

291
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: pretty bullish on Detroit. I think I missed the trick

292
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: play that I guess ended up getting called back. But

293
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: like Johnny Morton's been pretty good. Like I watched their

294
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: offense and I feel pretty good about it now sometimes.

295
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: And listen, there was this back and forth early in

296
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: the game where they both went for fourth downs and

297
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: neither of them got it. And you know, if your

298
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: coach read at this point in time, you got nothing.

299
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: You got super Bowls, you got AFC Championships, you got

300
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: quarterback MVPs, Like you're not trying to prove anything. And

301
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Detroit is still trying to get over the hump. Just

302
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl would be an amazing accomplishment,

303
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: but like sometimes going for it in these tighter games

304
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: when you don't get it can be pretty devastating. And

305
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: like one thing that they do not have, and this

306
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: is his deficiency that Patrick just does. When you run

307
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: a fourth and third or fourth and five or fourth

308
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: and six, whatever your route combination is, sometimes, even if

309
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: it's in theory a great play call, a guy could trip.

310
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: You get a coverage, the guy screws up the defensive

311
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: coverage and he actually is in front of the guy

312
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: that you think you're throwing to because against that coverage

313
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: is always going to be open. But the guy goes

314
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: to the wrong spot and actually defends your offensive play.

315
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: You'd ever know, right, there are a lot of variables

316
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: in football, and in those moments or you just you

317
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: call a play and they run the right defense, Jared

318
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: Goff can't keep the play alive with his feet, and

319
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: that's no fault of his own. He's just, relative to

320
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, an awful athlete in the modern day quarterback.

321
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: We talked about this with Dart. All these young guys

322
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: coming in the league, we'll see them tomorrow. Jaden Daniels,

323
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Drake May. They all can move. They all

324
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: are very athletic guys, so they can keep a play

325
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: alive just moving around and with the Lions, and even

326
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Collinsworth hit on a little bit on. Some of these

327
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: must have like fourth and fives or third and fives

328
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: from a passing standpoint, if it works, boom, they got laported.

329
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: They got same brown. If they run a great out

330
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: route and they hit it, they get rid of the

331
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: ball quick. But if it is not there, it can

332
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: be difficult for him. And it's just part of the

333
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: nature of having a quarterback that doesn't move that well.

334
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: And defensively, they're just at this point in time, Angeloni's good.

335
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Obviously the pass rusher is good, but they're just Branches good.

336
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: Even though you know, I was walking in here and

337
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: the brawl broke out, I'm like, Branch, just just shake

338
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: my home's hand. What are you doing? And I appreciate

339
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: having some crazy mfors on my team, and listen, it's football.

340
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: This isn't you know Beer League softball? Like sometimes you

341
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: gotta edgy ness, people hate each other. I got no

342
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: problem with that. I was like, what are we doing? Man?

343
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: Just shake his hands and go to the locker room.

344
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, the Lions four

345
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: and two. If I was a Lions fan, I'd feel

346
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: pretty good about my team overall. And listen, we're just

347
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: coming from behind against better teams. Especially as a t

348
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: off on Jared Goff can be a little more difficult

349
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: because of the athletic ability. Today's show is brought to

350
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: you by our new presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet. Week

351
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: six ends with a little Monday night doubleheader baby the

352
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Bills against the Falcons and the Bears against Washington. If

353
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: you go over to the hard Rock Bet stats up,

354
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: you can find out some of these nuggets, like Bijon

355
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: Robinson has scoredy time down in five consecutive home games.

356
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Roma Doonsay is on a four game touchdown streak. That's

357
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: why I put together a little parlay. I think Josh

358
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Allen bounces back. Obviously, the Bills Sunday Night Football last

359
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: week lose to the Patriots. I like Josh Allen to

360
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: score in anytime touchdown. I like James Cook to score

361
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: in any time touchdown, b Jon Robinson to score in

362
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: any time touchdown. That's plus four to fifty if you

363
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: add roma doonsay to that you get odds over plus

364

Speaker 1: eleven hundred on the hard Rock Bet app. As you

384
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: stuff around the NFL. I do think the craziest story

385
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: of the day, I mean, just by far, had nothing

386
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: to do with anything that happened during a game. The

387
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts lost two players in pre pregame warm ups.

388
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: That is insane, right in the NFL and college football too.

389
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: Usually the busses get there around like three three hours

390
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before game, and most players go out and

391
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: do some sort of individual personal warm up. Right. It's

392
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: where you see a lot of the clips, especially if

393
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: you're watching like ESPN or Fox or something in the morning,

394
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: of guys in like shorts and T shirts, playing catch,

395
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: stretching out, doing band work, doing whatever. And at the

396
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: first injury I saw, I saw it on like the

397
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: Everything app X that Tarvarius Ward got absolutely decleted by

398
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: I think one of his own teammates just doing a

399
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: backpedal drill to warm up his legs and he got

400
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: a concussion in the collision. Tarvarius got like ejected into

401
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: the air, You're looking on the ground, You're like, is

402
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: he dead? So the guy got a concussion before he

403
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: even put his pads on. And then it turns out

404
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: because I saw that Riley Leonard, the former Notre Dame

405
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: quarterback who's a third stringer for the Colts, got elevated

406
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: the backup, I'm like, I want to Anthony Richard get

407
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: in trouble or something. It turns out he was doing bandwork.

408
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: Every quarterback in the NFL, first string, second string, third string.

409
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: It's like baseball pitcher, you know, does the band work.

410
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this on audio, I'm kind of

411
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: doing some visuals and they are listen. You can find

412
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: it at your regular gym. I mean those bands. If

413
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: you stretch him, it's like a slingshot if you if

414
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: you let go of it and uncork it at your hand,

415
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: at your body, it would really hurt. He got hit

416
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: in the face by it. It turns out it like

417
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: broke his orbital bone. He had to go to the hospital.

418
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: So my guess is that within a ten fifteen to

419
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty minute period on the field for the Indianapolis Colts,

420
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: they lost two players before they ever put on their pats.

421
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: One had to go to the hospital and the other

422
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: guy had to go to got a concussion, clearly had

423
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: to get checked out by their medical team. That is insane,

424
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: and then they went on to win this crazy game

425
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: against the Arizona Cardinals that actually look better offensively would

426
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: Kobe Brissett playing quarterback, But I just maybe it is

427
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: the colchier. But that's one of the craziest things I've

428
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: ever seen. Baker Mayfield, who is now the third on

429
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: the list of betting favorites behind Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes

430
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: and himself Baker Mayfield to be the MVP, had another

431
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: really good game. Missing guys. When I say missing guys

432
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: is two top wide receivers injured. A Mecca Buka, who

433
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: actually technically is his top wide receiver, got injured during

434
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: the game, So really down the stretch of the game,

435
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: he is playing without his three best wide receivers. One

436
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: guy is a Hall of Famer, the other guy, Godwin

437
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: went healthy, is a high end player, and a Mecca

438
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: Buka is probably if he's healthy, going to be the

439
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: offensive rookie of the year. So it's a pretty special

440
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: group and they're all gone. Baker's unfaced he's throwing it

441
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: to rookies, to Sterling Shepherd. He's he had probably the

442
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: best run of his career on a third I think

443
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: it was like third and twenty. He blined it for

444
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: like twenty five yards. He's like making guys miss running

445
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: through arm tackles. He is having a fantastic season and

446
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: he's a really, really enjoyable player to watch now. I

447
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: wasn't rooting for him today. I wanted the forty nine

448
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: ers to win. But as you start watching Baker Mayfield,

449
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: he does have and John Dorsey, who was with the

450
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers when they draft or when they traded

451
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: for Brett Farvv, and Brett Farrv kind of resurrected his

452
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: career and I mean created his career and became a

453
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: three time actually three straight years, won the MVP in

454
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, and became one of the more entertaining players

455
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: in all of professional sports in America. John Dorsey had

456
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: a front row seat. And when he drafted Baker Mayfield,

457
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: he brought up that name, and I think a lot

458
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: of people thought that, like, I don't know, man, what

459
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: I love Baker Mayfield. Coming out of college. I thought

460
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: he was a more athletic Drew Brees. But one thing

461
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: that's on full display around the league, and I talked

462
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: to Colin about this now more than ever, you see

463
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: it with Mac Jones. Mac Jones, I know he threw

464
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: some interceptions, but for the most part has looked excellent

465
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers. He was a laughing stock

466
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: for Bill Belichick. You know what, it turns out the last

467
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: couple of years, Bill Belichick might have lost his fastball.

468
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: He might be throwing like eighty miles an hour now

469
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: that happens. I'm a San Franco Giants fan. I remember

470
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: Tim Linscomb. When Tim linskamb was winning Cy Youngs, he

471
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: was throwing ninety eight his last year with the Giants.

472
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: I think he was throwing like eighty seven miles an hour.

473
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: Guess what happened when he throwed eighty seven miles an hour.

474
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people hit home runs. When he was

475
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: throwing ninety seven. No one was touching him, and Bill

476
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: Belichick lost his fastball like everyone in his wake fell apart.

477
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Like well, Actually, Mac Jones, is he a first rounder?

478
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: Probably not ideally, but he's a pretty good player. Baker

479
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: Mayfield pretty good. Sam Dartle played for the Jets. Everyone

480
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: made fun of him, some of it self inflicted when

481
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: he got Mono, but other than that, it was like,

482
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: this guy stinks. I would not want this guy to

483
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: be my quarterback. Even people like me that like Sam

484
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Darnold at USC, it's like, I just don't think this

485
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: guy's very good. Turns out, actually he is. He's really good.

486
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald currently is one of the best players in

487
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know what he needed stability, people that

488
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. And Baker Mayfield is no different.

489
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean, now he's at the point where you could

490
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: just get rid of his top players. Not he doesn't

491
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: want that. But if they go down hamstring injuries, rolled

492
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: in ankle, hamstring, whatever, I'll make plays. Who am I

493
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: throwing it to? I don't care, it doesn't matter. That's

494
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: what really good players. That's what Josh Allen does, That's

495
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: what Lamar Jackson does. That's what you know Patrick Mahomes does,

496
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: That's what Justin Herbert does. And that's what Baker Mayfield

497
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: is doing. And we talked about momentum and narrative, like

498
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: he has a ton of momentum on his side. I

499
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: would say, assuming he stays healthy, I would be stunned

500
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: if Baker Mayfield doesn't end up the MVP because part

501
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: of it too is he's going up against two guys

502
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: who are above him in the ranks that Patrick Mahomes

503
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: already has a couple. Do you know what Patrick Mahomes

504
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: has to do to win another MVP? Stats have to

505
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: be gotty and they got to be the number one seed.

506
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen because there's a little bit of fatigue.

507
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen literally just won the award last year. People

508
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: want to vote for someone else, especially when they are

509
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: deserving candidate. So if Baker Mayfield is gonna run around,

510
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: throw a bunch of touchdowns, be the leader of a

511
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: team that ends up with thirteen or fourteen wins and

512
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: it's like the number one or number two seed in

513
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: the NFC, I think he's a borderline. I don't know

514
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: who if they had a vote, wouldn't vote for. I

515
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: put this out during the game and I'm on a

516
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: million text threads. It's I don't think I've ever seen

517
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: anything like the forty nine ers that every single game

518
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: they have multiple players who their careers are altered because

519
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: of injuries, and today Fred Warner you can say it's

520
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: a freak thing, and it is true someone gets rolled

521
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: up and thrown in the back of your ankle that

522
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: there's nothing a trainer, a doctor, or strength and conditioning

523
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: staff could have done to protect you about the body

524
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: that falls on your ankle, dislocates it and shatters it.

525
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: That's just it's freak deal. Happens in football all the time,

526
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: from the high school level to the college. It probably

527
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: happened in Pewee's. I was watching last night, Maria fell asleep.

528
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching the John Candy documentary, like I just need

529
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: something positive before I wake up in the morning. And

530
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'll just flip on John Cannon.

531
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: Turns out John Candy, for those of you that are young,

532
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: older actor who actually has been dead for a long

533
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: time now but was pretty famous. When I was a kid,

534
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: loved loved football. In high school, I thought he was

535
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a college football player. Had his kneecap shattered

536
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: in high school, had to remove his kneecap. He didn't

537
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: have a kneecap because his injury was so bad. In

538
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: high school football, I had I remember I had a

539
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: good buddy that I played high school football with then'

540
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: JV Football had a devastating knee injury, so it's just

541
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: like freak shit happens. But Fred Warner, I just don't

542
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: ever remember a team that's like. They gave Nick a

543
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: couple of years ago historic deal tour an acl out.

544
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: They gave Fred Warner the beside, like Roquan Smith, the

545
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: most money for a middle linebacker in the NFL. He

546
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: had his ankle shattered. There is not a team in

547
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: the league who could take the equivalent of Nick Bosa

548
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: and Fred Warner and remove them for the season. Obviously,

549
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: Nick a couple weeks ago and Fred so well before

550
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Halloween and have a fighting chance to be good on defense.

551
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: And the forty nine ers they tried hard, but you

552
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: eventually run out of bodies. George Kittle, who we think

553
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: is coming back this week, has already missed, you know,

554
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: five games. Brock Purty is probably going to play less

555
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: than five or six games this season. There's just no

556
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: overcoming this. And I'm not trying to blame anyone that

557
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: there's nothing you could do in this individual instance. And

558
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't know the solution because I look around the league.

559
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: You go to some of these box scores, you get

560
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: random players all over the league because every single game,

561
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: especially anyone with YouTube TV and has the NFL package

562
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: is that what they still call it, you know, has

563
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: the four boxes. You see guys carted off every game.

564
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It feels like an epidemic the amount of

565
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: injuries around the NFL. Broken legs, broken feet, acls, hamstrings,

566
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: Guys just dropped like flies. But the forty nine ers

567
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: are losing, not just like the best players on there,

568
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: like some of the best players in the league. And

569
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: it does feel today for the first time like this

570
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: felt like a tipping point. Kyle and Robert Sala have

571
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: done an excellent job that they were just hanging in

572
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: there with Tampa, who also has a bunch of injuries,

573
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: but they're playing Baker Mayfield, I don't know, the MVP

574
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: of the league with their backup quarterback Mac Jones, who's

575
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: resurrecting his career, but he ain't Baker Mayfield. And then

576
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: Fred Warner goes out, who's like the heart and soul

577
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: of the franchise. He's not like the team captain of

578
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: the team's like the team captain of the franchise, Like

579
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: he's like the most important to human on the team.

580
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: He like speaks for the entire organization on a weekly basis.

581
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: You don't overcome that. He's like, they're ray Lewis. You know,

582
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: it's like when Ray Lewis in his prime for the

583
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. You remove that. I don't care who you

584
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: got backing them up, and they got random guys backing

585
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: them up. You just don't have much of a chance. Again,

586
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do about it. I don't

587
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: know how to fix it because the Niners just constantly injured.

588
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: But it does feel for the first time like you

589
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: just lost all these players. I don't know how you

590
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: keep winning games. I don't care who you play, and

591
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: your schedule's easy, but you just can't remove this much.

592
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: They gave two hundred and seventy seven million dollars in

593
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: guaranteed dollars this offseason to Brock Purdy, to George Kittle,

594
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: and to Fred Warner. Brock Purty has turf toe, and

595
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, again, I don't have much confidence he's gonna

596
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: play many games this year. Fred Warner is now out

597
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: for the season, and George Kittle might come back from

598
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: a hamstring. But here's the thing with hamstring sometimes to

599
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: get reinjured. So who knows how many games George is

600
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna play this season? Just devastating. So props to Baker

601
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: Mayfield and Todd Bowles and Jason Light for kicking ass

602
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: and taking names. And I respect the forty nine ers

603
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: for how hard they're playing, but you just you get

604
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: to the point where you're just kind of running unempty,

605
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: right I've I've run out of gas a couple of times.

606
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: It sucks, And that's what it feels like with the

607
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. A couple of things. I get a

608
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: lot of dms from you guys at John Middlecoff's the Instagram.

609
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: We do Middlecoff mail bag all week long, and I

610
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: usually defend this guy because you're like, uh, Matt Lafoor, John,

611
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: do you think he's too conservative? I'm like, you know,

612
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that. And then the day just because

613
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, I only had three games on and

614
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: typically I wouldn't have been super locked into Bengals Packers,

615
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: but beside the Niners and them, like, I can't take

616
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: the Titans in Raider games seriously, so watch every snap.

617
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: And as the game went on, and I watched the

618
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: morning game with Sean Payton and bow Nicks. Bo Nicks

619
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: had almost like two hundred yards passing in the first half,

620
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: which I didn't really watch because I was sleeping because

621
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: it was like six in the morning. But then you

622
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: get up you watch second half, and Bonix was horrendous.

623
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: He had like three completions. I think literally he had

624
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: three completions in the second half. But the ebb and

625
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: flow of their game, it was like, Sean, why are

626
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: you trying to run the ball? Let bon Nix is

627
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: slinging around and win this game by twenty points. And

628
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: I think you see with Sean Payton, and I think

629
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: you see with Matt Lafleur, Like Sean Payton didn't have

630
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: a choice last week when they were playing the Eagles,

631
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: They're down seventeen to three, kind of just had to

632
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: let it rip. It's like, hey, Bogo makes him plays.

633
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: And I think you've seen with Matt Lafleur this year

634
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: when they play a team that mat goes, well, we're

635
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: better in the Bengals, and he's not wrong. They are

636
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent better than the Bengals, and if their

637
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: quarterback just plays an average game, they will beat this

638
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: version of the Bengals without Joe Burrow, whether it's Joe Flacco,

639
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: whether it's Shake Browning, whether it's Andy Dalton comes back,

640
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They will win that game ninety five

641
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Lafleur knows it, the fans know it,

642
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: his team knows it. And I'm watching him and I'm

643
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: watching Sean Payton this morning, and I go, they are

644
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: being a little conservative. They're kind of like coaching not

645
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: to lose. Now, Lafleur had a little more wiggle room.

646
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: They were up in that game, and honestly, they were

647
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: kind of in cruise control even though the game was

648
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like they were up thirty and

649
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: I think I think it was what like seventeen to

650
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: three at one point in time, and I just thought, like,

651
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: let Jordan kind of slant, because a couple of times

652
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: he did push the ball down the field and they

653
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: had explosive plays. But Lafleur is wired much more like

654
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. He really wants to slow the ball down,

655
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: control the clock, run the football. And Josh Jacob looks good.

656
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: But I, for the first time I understood where a

657
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: lot of Packer fans goes like can Matt open up

658
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: the offense a little bit, like we do have some

659
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: talented skill guys. And I thought the same thing about

660
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, whose offense throughout the season is looked a

661
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: little stale because it doesn't feel like either guy trust

662
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And here's what the Bucks have going for

663
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: him right now, And you could argue Baker's earned it.

664
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: They have undenying trust and just like give him free

665
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: rein and Dan Campbell's the best example of this, has

666
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: complete trust in his offense starting with Jared Goff. Doesn't

667
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: mean it's always gonna work, but Dan Campbell treats Jared

668
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: Goff no different than Andy re treats Patrick Mahomes, and

669
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: having that ability freeze everyone up and you're able to

670
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: be much more explosive and as an offense and have

671
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: much more explosive plays. But the Broncos, like the Packers,

672
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: definitely feel like they have guard rails around their quarterback.

673
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: Some of you with young children that have the training

674
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: wheels on the bike, and there gets to a point

675
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: of like, okay, just pick the training wheels off and

676
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: let him or her kind of let a rip and hey,

677
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: he might fall down, he might skin his knee. But

678
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: a couple months later he's gonna be ripping around the

679
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: driveway and the street. Ideally, if you know, depending on

680
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: the street you live in, you know, you put it's funny.

681
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: I get it old, and my kid's not even here.

682
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm already thinking, like, where can I place the kids

683
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: at play? Twenty five miles an hour. I remember being

684
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: like sixteen years old driving home in my neighborhood and

685
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: like cruising by that thing, like flipping it off. It's

686
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: funny you put you know, uh, put yourself on the

687
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: other side of it. You're like, damn, slow down. But

688
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: I do think you need to let these quarterbacks play free,

689
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: and they definitely are not a couple other things. I

690
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: feel bad for Browns fans that they are a really

691
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: rough watch, that their offense is horrendous. Their offensive line

692
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: today got beaten. How many sacks did they give up?

693
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: They got beaten like a drum. Dylan Gabriel was sacked

694
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: six times. Honestly, if I had to guess, I would

695
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: have guessed fifteen. He was hit over and over. You

696
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: could put shit d'Or back there. You could put Deshaun

697
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: Watson back there. You could put Joe Flacco back. You

698
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: can put any you're gonna get destroyed. Offensive line stinks,

699
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: the skill players constantly drop balls. They're there is a

700
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: lack of I don't know, creativity. Kevin Stefanski. I've always

701
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: liked them, but they are not a fun team to watch,

702
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: and their defense is clearly pretty good. But the Steelers

703
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: that game, that game felt JB varsity and I would

704
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: say the same thing about Miami, not that they aren't competitive,

705
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: because offensively they can score more points, but tua after

706
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: the game. The way I would describe Miami is like

707
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: just nobody cares. Head coach the players to a acts

708
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: like it cares. But it's like, two, you're throwing picks

709
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: left and right. So it's like, why aren't you early

710
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: the team meeting or to the players only meetings? Like

711
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: to a what, I don't think you're any good? So

712
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: it's like part of being a leader. You know. It's

713
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: much easier for Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or Patrick

714
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes to be a leader. It's easy for Fred Warner

715
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: to rally the troops. They're great players. Typically the best teams,

716
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: their best players lead the squad. Right and two, it's

717
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: not that good of a Just because you make a

718
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: lot of money doesn't make you a leader or a

719
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: great player, right, And that's where I think the trouble

720
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins find themselves in. It's not I'm not

721
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: trying to blame to A for guys being slap dicks.

722
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: That's on the GM, who has built one of the

723
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: worst teams you're ever gonna see. Like I'm watching the Saints.

724
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: People think they suck. I'm like, I enjoy watching them play.

725
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 1: They are not that bad. Their defenses and Brandon Staley's

726
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: one of the biggest. I mean, you talk about a

727
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: scam artist, I mean this guy. I wouldn't let this

728
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: guy near my defensive unit. He's out there calling plays.

729
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: He's getting shredded on a weekly basis. But offensively, I'm

730
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: going Kellen nuts Smyer. They're dialing up some plays, rattlers

731
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: slinging around. They're a fun team. Props to you know,

732
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots for getting another big win. Drake May's playing well,

733
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: But man, the Browns tough watch for a team with

734
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: some really good defensive players, and the Dolphins, the best

735
00:37:51,360 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: way to sum them up is just no one cares. Okay,

736
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: let's end on this some couple quick things with college

737
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: I've come around on Kurt Signetti and I owe him

738
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: an apology. I would say a month ago, even probably

739
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: as recent as like three weeks ago, I would have

740
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: said I hated the guy, couldn't stand him rooting against him.

741
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: He's kind of grown on me. The last couple of

742
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: weeks I watched a couple of interviews of him saying

743
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: part of the reason he said google me, which I

744
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: think was like, that's so stupid, even though he had

745
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: a successful season, was like, my program wasn't irrelevant. No

746
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: one knew who Indiana football. We were the butt. We

747
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: were like the Detroit Lions. I'm saying this, He's not

748
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: of college. We were the all time losing his program

749
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: in the history of college football. So me saying that, like,

750
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: you don't need to do that stuff in the NFL.

751
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: The NFL is just about picking the right players in

752
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: the draft, cutting the right guy, signing the right guys

753
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: in free agency, hiring the right coaches, and just grinding

754
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: and I know, learn how to win. The fluff doesn't

755
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: matter because there's no recruiting. We're in college football. That

756
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: does matter. Creating buzz. I hate the word optics. I

757
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: think optics is one of the most overrated words in

758
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: the private sector produce. Optics don't matter when you're dominating

759
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: in whatever industry you're in, But optics and that shit

760
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: do matter a little bit in college. Why because you're

761
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: making impressions to sixteen seventeen eight year old guys and

762
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: now with the transfer portal nineteen twenty twenty one year

763
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: old guys. So it's like, Okay, I get what he said,

764
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: and then he lost it during the defensive pass interference

765
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: that wasn't called. During the Oregon game, He's interviewed at

766
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: halftime and I forget who the reporter was, and she says,

767
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, you said all week it was about being

768
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: calm and controlling your emotions on the road, and you

769
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: just lost it. Were you trying to like send a message?

770
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: And he smiled. He said, yeah, that's that's what I

771
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: was trying to do. We needed my energy right there.

772
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: It's like Coach Reid when he bumped Travis Kelson, like

773
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: part of being a coach is playing psychological warfare, especially

774
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: in college, with the recruits, with your own team, with

775
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: your opponents. He also said something that I think kind

776
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: of flew under the radar that I don't think he

777
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: randomly did it is he called Dan Lanning the phenom

778
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: in all of college football. It was like he was

779
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: trying to put him on a pedestal to maybe think

780
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: he starts feeling himself a little bit by the way

781
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: that I view him. I was like, God, I kind

782
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: of like Kurtzignetti. And then this today during halftime, I'm

783
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: eating dinner during the Chiefs Lions game, and I watched

784
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: his interview that he did with Rick Neuheisel. I think

785
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: it must have been a big ten media days and

786
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: he asked, like, why did you leave Alabama in twenty

787
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: ten to go to IUPU. It's like, I've never even

788
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: heard of that school. And He's like, because I wanted

789
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. And I was fifty years old.

790
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: I was making three hundred and twenty thousand at Alabama.

791
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: I was the wide receiver and recruiting coordinator, which three

792
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: hundred twenty k back in twenty ten was probably a

793
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: lot of coin, especially in the Tuscaloose Alabama That'd probably

794
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: be the equivalent right now of like that position will

795
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: probably pay eight nine hundred grant, probably pay a million

796
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: dollars and he's like, the job that I took paid

797
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. I was going to

798
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: take a two hundred thousand dollars pay cut. My wife

799
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: said no, we're not doing this, and I had to

800
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: talk her into it, and I kind of thought, you

801
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: know who Signette is. He's like an entrepreneur, cause he's like,

802
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: I could have just been an assistant the rest of

803
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: my career at that point in time, worked for Saban,

804
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: worked for the best guys, made a ton of money,

805
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: and been a lifetime assistant. I said, now, fuck this,

806
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: I want to be a head coach. I believed that

807
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: was a head coach, and I want to try it out.

808
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: And then for a decade and a half he got

809
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: to figure out how to be a head coach. And

810
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: then he finally gets a shot in one of the

811
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: biggest currently it's probably the best conference in the league

812
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 1: or the country right there, it's probably them in the

813
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: The SEC has been better forever. Now at worst they're equals,

814
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: if not, the Big ten's better. And he gets a

815
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: shot at a joke program and he turns it around immediately,

816
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: And I do believe that guys that are wired like this,

817
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: Like he didn't have to do this. Most human beings

818
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't do this. Most guys don't take opportunities. Think about

819
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: the money that assistants make now in the big ten,

820
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: in the SEC. They would never leave for a really

821
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: crappy job that doesn't pay as much. Right, it doesn't

822
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: make any It's like it's no different than most people.

823
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: They're in corporate positions that make a lot of coin go.

824
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: You know, I really wanted to do this one thing

825
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: that I've always been passionate about, but they kind of

826
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: got me on the golden handcuffs. I can't leave because

827
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: Google's paying me five hundred thousand dollars, my kids going

828
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: to private school, my wife's driving that g wagon. Like

829
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: I just I can't change. I can't risk it. And

830
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: most guys in football are no different. They don't risk

831
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: it and risked it. And now he's sitting with one

832
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the country and I've really

833
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: come around, like I kind of get his brashness. Why

834
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't he be brash? He went to the gutter essentially

835
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: to coach iupu elon. Then he goes to James Madison

836
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: starts winning big and now in Indiana in two years,

837
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: he's seventeen and two and his ability to I mean Rourke,

838
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: his quarterback last year is on the forty nine ers

839
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: and Fernando Mendoza, who he got from cal who a

840
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of other teams surely could have got in the

841
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: transfer portal. I had buddies at the game in Oregon

842
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: that said, he's probably gonna be a first round pick.

843
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how high, because I said, do you

844
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: think he could be like a first overall pick or

845
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: top ten pick? They're like, God, it depends on the class.

846
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: But he's definitely moving up the board. Big Arm this

847
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: week at Oregon threw an awful pick six and bounced

848
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: right back and let him to a win th bait,

849
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: a great back shoulder passer. But Signetti's boss, and he

850
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: proved it a long time ago when he left Sabin

851
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 1: for a terrible job that even Saban said at the time,

852
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: like I couldn't believe he was taking this job. It's

853
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: not like Signetti want or Saban wanted Signetty to leave.

854
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: But he's here in this position now with the understanding

855
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: of knowing what he has to do because of all

856
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: those experiences and James Franklin was fired today and I

857
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: think most people think like And there was a rumor

858
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: that Adeed is help help pay the money. I don't

859
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: know if that's true or not. Clearly, I don't think

860
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: you just get fifty million dollars easily, because it's not

861
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: just fifty million dollars to pay James Franklin to go away.

862
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: If you got to pay him fifty million dollars, what

863
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: do coaches cost? Who do you think Penn State's going

864
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: to go after? Brian Kelly got ninety million dollars, Lincoln

865
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: Riley got one hundred and twenty million. The cost of

866
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: these high level coaches, the Lane Kiffin types. I mean,

867
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: you're talking an enormous amount of money. So it's not

868
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: just fifty million dollars to pay James Franklin to go away,

869
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: and pay a staff to go away, which is gonna

870
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: be another millions upon millions dollars. It's then paying other recruits,

871
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: other coaches. It's gonna be very expensive. So how they

872
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: got that, I had no clue. But there were probably

873
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: some shady things that went on behind the scenes and

874
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: would Signetti leave and take the job. Historically, there would

875
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: never be a coach at Indiana that would turn down

876
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: Penn State. One thing I think we're gonna find out

877
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: this offseason more than ever because one thing you see

878
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, if you give me power, the Jags

879
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: job is no different than the forty nine Ers job.

880
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: That's no different than the Packers' job. Every job in

881
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: the NFL is good if you say you get to

882
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: run it. Liam Cohen was like, I don't want the

883
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: Jags job. Then they're like, we'll give you juice. You

884
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: hire the GM and we'll fire Trent Ball. He's like,

885
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm in. I mean just like that. Ben Johnson are like, hey,

886
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: you know I don't really the Bears. I think I

887
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: want to be a head go thirteen million dollars a years,

888
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: Like I'm in it. See the NFL, you get to

889
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, You get to pick the players,

890
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: You only have to answer to one person. College is

891
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: very complicated. But this offseason we're gonna learn Penn State

892
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: is open, Florida's hasn't won a conference game in like

893
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: two years. That's gonna open. Auburn gonna open, the University

894
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: of Florida gonna open. There are guys like Lane Kiffin

895
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: and Kurt Signetti at Indiana at Ole Miss Matt Campbell

896
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: at Iowa State. Are these guys ever? Does it even

897
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: matter anymore? I don't know because if you feel if

898
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: you're Indiana and you go, well, we can buy guys.

899
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: We got the resources. Because I hear this a lot,

900
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: you don't have the ability to recruit around your program.

901
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: Who cares? Has the world ever been flattered? You ever

902
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: heard of social media? YouTube? Instagram? I mean, what does

903
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: it matter? Iowa to California? Like, you can find anyone

904
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: anywhere in a moment's notice. It used to be much different,

905
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: more difficult. Twenty years ago, it was a really big deal.

906
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, Pete Carroll or Miami. They used

907
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: to kind of recruit Michigan recruit nationally. Anyone can recruit nationally.

908
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: Indiana is one of the best teams in the country

909
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: with Cow's quarterback, and you can flip things around immediately.

910
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: It's why Belichick is under siege. It's like, you shouldn't

911
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: suck this much. You're Bill freaking Belichick and you can

912
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: add any player you want in theory. So I don't

913
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. If you told me Signetti takes

914
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: the job. If he's offered, I'd believe you. If you

915
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: tell me he stays, I'd believe you. I don't quite

916
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: understand the we're gonna learn because I don't know. I

917
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: don't even think ads and coaches quite know. I think

918
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure it out. Like, if I

919
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: can buy players where I'm at and I'm happy and

920
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm winning, I don't need to leave, because part of

921
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: the reason to go to Penn State is like, that's

922
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: where you could get players. Well, if I can get

923
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: players that I want to come to Indiana and I

924
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: can beat Oregon with them, I don't need to leave.

925
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: I can beat the crap out of Illinois if I can.

926
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: Even if I can't beat Ohio State, no one can,

927
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: so who cares. But if I can beat everyone else here,

928
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't need to go. Lane Kivin's like, well, do

929
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: you need to go to Florida? Well, I can beat

930
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: lsu at Ole, miss So they're paying me ten million

931
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: dollars a year. But maybe it's like I don't know,

932
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: maybe they can offer more in I own money. Maybe

933
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: he just wants to go to mix it up. But

934
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: I think we're really gonna find out this offseason what

935
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: the nil impact of these coaching situations are, because I

936
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I can see either scenario play out, guys

937
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 1: staying and be like I'm happy here, we got cash

938
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: and we're good, or it's like, no, I think they

939
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: got more money, cause that's I think. If guys do

940
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: make the move, it'll all be promises about money for

941
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: the roster, money for the coaches, less about like, well,

942
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: we got a lot of recruits around us. That clearly

943
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, especially with the transfer portal. So James Franklin

944
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: loses back to back games as basically, I think he

945
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: was a twenty five point favorite against UCLA. I don't

946
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: know the exact number against Northwestern, but he was twenty plus.

947
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: Drew Howlers out for the year. Just one thing in

948
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 1: life got to strike when the irons hot. And obviously

949
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: he's had a long run and he's been there for

950
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: over a decade. But like this year, fifteen days ago,

951
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: he had the lead, he had the lead against Oregon.

952
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: If he wins that game at home, we're all talking

953
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: about Penn State as one of the best teams in

954
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: the country. I would imagine coming off that win, they

955
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: don't lose to UCLA. But not only does he not

956
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: beat Ucla, he loses that game, then he loses the

957
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: next two games in a fifteen day period, and on

958
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, he's fired. So this the world we live

959
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: in in college sports. The NFL is a lot like

960
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: this with players and coaches. There's so much money in

961
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: the line now that it's one of the great businesses

962
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: to be in because if you get fired, they get

963
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: paid millions of dollars to go away, but you will

964
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: not keep your job. And I think James Franklin wasn't

965
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: that controversial in terms of the team quit on him,

966
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: like they said, we're done. Ucla could be like listen

967
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: that coming off a crazy emotional high than low at Oregon,

968
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: we had an awful week, we lose, win the next

969
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: week you win by twenty points. He's not fired today,

970
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: but you lose back to back weeks, especially at home

971
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: the Northwestern I don't think they had a choice. If

972
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: you would have told me at the beginning of the

973
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: season when Penn State was if you didn't have them

974
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: number one, they were universally a top two or three

975
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: team in the country. That James Franklin was fired in

976
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. I would say a crazy

977
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: scandal happened. Yeah, I would say something egregious, like one

978
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: of the stories of the year, if not the story

979
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: of the year in college football, cheating with the chancellor's wife,

980
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: some crazy cheating scandal with a recruit, which I don't

981
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: even know how you do in this modern day world,

982
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: tax fraud, or I don't know, something insane, something insane,

983
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: But no, he just lost to Northwestern in Ucla and

984
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 1: they said, this can't happen. You've got see you later, buddy.

985
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: The volume
