1 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: What's going on everybody. It's happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully you've had 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: a good day. I may or may not be recording 3 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: this a day before Thanksgiving. I'm in the beautiful place 4 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: they like to call Maui. I can see the water. Well. 5 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Actually kind of gotta go outside and stand on some furniture, 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: but I'm not. I'm about five minutes away from the water. Uh. 7 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: So that this podcast will not include the Thursday's games. Uh, 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: not a great slate, but anytime the Cowboys play, it's 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: a big deal. But you know, it's Turkey Day and 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna be busy and probably a little intoxicated. 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: So there's just there's no way I can do it. 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: So I wanted to bang this out, you know, before 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: I get a little golf and at a nice little 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: place called Wailea. Uh. It's vacation slash work. But I 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: had to do the podcast. And there's some things I 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: want to talk about. I'll dive into off the top. 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Just I was thinking about this morning, what what the 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: uh what? This season in the NFL is kind of encapsulated. 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: It's been the ultimate marriage of players and coaches, and 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: it's what makes football so great. Unlike baseball, which is 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: now run by general managers, unlike basketball that is run 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: by players. Football is really a coaching league. Now obviously 23 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: good players play a huge role, but it's really the 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: combination of the two and the other two sports is 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: just don't have it. And then I'll go through all 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: the games and I'll answer a couple of you guys, 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: Uh Middlecoff mail bad questions at John Middlecoff on my Instagram. 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: You slide right into those d m s. They are 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: always wide open for you guys to come and hollow 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: at me ask questions. Same as my Twitter handle. It's 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: just my name at John Middlecoff. But I want to 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: start with this, and you know, in every business there 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: are certain things that are very important to make it successful. Right, 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm sitting in this condo, they're charging us a boatload. 35 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: And if you go down about I don't know two 36 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: football fields to where the water is, the price point 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: of where I'm sitting and the price point of that condo, 38 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: even though it's in the same complex, goes up about 39 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: four acts. Because what do they always tell you in 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: real estate? Location, location, location, I mean I had to 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: the condo that I bought in the Bay area. I 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: paid fifty thousand dollars over asking price, and that was 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: just to get in the final four to buy it. 44 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Now in that condo, in three years, it hasn't gone 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: up at the same rate that it was going when 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: I bought it. But you know, I've made six figures 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: in a short period of time and I'm no real 48 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: estate mayben. But the location is key, right, And you know, 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: I would imagine a lot of people that listen to this. 50 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: You know, we're in sales. Uh. Now you can read 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: different things and you guys, know, you could argue, is 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: it more important to have a great salesperson? Is it 53 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: more import important to have a great product. I think 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: it's probably a combination of the both. You know, right, 55 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: the better the product is, the easier is to sell. 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: It's probably easier to sell a Nike shoe than it 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: is some random shoe. Now in my business, like I 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: talked for a living, is it more important to be good? Right? 59 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: To have like interesting takes? Like what separated Colin over 60 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: the last fifteen years? For me, it was he was 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: by far the most intelligent guy on the radio. It's 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: why everywhere I go I meet people that are young, 63 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: that are twenty years old. I was at a wedding 64 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: and met this dude that was like twenty years old 65 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: at USC. It's a guy I love Coward, and you'll 66 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: meet a guy sixty I love Coward. You know what 67 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: they all tend to have in common. All tend to 68 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: be pretty smart people like Colin resonates with intelligent, successful people, 69 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: and that's what separated him. Now, obviously he nos sports 70 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: and he's well spoken, he's a great broadcaster, but he's unique, 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: and I think in this business it's harder and harder 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: to find unique people. It's why Collins kind of ran 73 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: circles around everyone the last ten fifteen years in this 74 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: business because it's like God, the same regurgitated takes like 75 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: spare me, I can't take it. But when it comes 76 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: to football, and like I talked about it in baseball, listen, 77 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: I I live in an area where Billy being the 78 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: front office, runs a team and they do agree a job. 79 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: They make the playoffs every year with the payroll that's low. 80 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: And then I got the Giants, who forever were a 81 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: coaching driven thing with Bruce Bocci and now with far 82 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: Hahn who's from the Dodgers, from the a's there. The 83 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: general manager is gonna run the show. Saw the Warriors. 84 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: I love Steve Kurs, super smart guy, great basketball life. 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: They won big because they had elite players, bottom line, period, 86 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: point blank, end of story. I mean they had better 87 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: players than everybody. Now. When he first got here, he 88 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: implemented a system and it helped get them over the top. 89 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: He didn't have zero role, but they won because of Curry, 90 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: Clay Draymond, and then they added Kevin Durant. We're in football, 91 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 1: I think a lot of times like there's a reason 92 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: it's called the Lombardi Trophy. We talk about Belichick and 93 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: Parcels and Walsh in the same reverence and on the 94 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: same level in which we do Lawrence Taylor, Joe Montana, 95 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Like you can't say Joe Montana without saying Bill Walsh. 96 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: You can't say Lawrence Taylor without saying Bill Parcells, like 97 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: you can't say Tom Brady without saying Belichick. It's what 98 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: makes football so great. Coaching is really important. It's why 99 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: coaches in what football ultimately is is a big television show. 100 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: It's one huge reality show, and the players are a 101 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: huge part of it, but so are the coaches. The 102 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: coaches play a massive role. They are really famous, someone 103 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: that talks about football for a living. It's not just 104 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: like I don't only have the players to talk about 105 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: I can. I can just do topics on coaches and 106 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: people will care. People have opinions. I'm talking the good 107 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: coaches or the bad coaches that they are very very 108 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: they're polarizing figures unless you're just elite at your job 109 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: like Belichick everyone else. We knitpick Mike Tomlins never had 110 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: a losing season. We crush him. John Harbaugh lost for 111 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: a couple of years, like I always lost his touch, 112 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: and I think, just thinking about this season, it's the 113 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of the indictment of white. Coaches are so important. 114 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: It's why relative to the business some of these franchises 115 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: now are were three four billion dollars. If you're paying 116 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: a head coach, which is the most important important employee 117 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: you have. Now the owner is not an you know employee, 118 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: but he's obviously he's the most important person because he 119 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: can meddle, he can tell you know, he can hire 120 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: and fire. But the second most important person, probably even 121 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: above the quarterback, is the head coach. And you know, 122 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: relative to you know, other industries. They should probably be 123 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: making thirty million dollars a year. They should be making 124 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: is the good ones. Belichick's were fifty million dollars a year. Easy. 125 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: What he's made the crafts for getting home playoff games 126 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: for twenty years? Easy? And maybe he does. I mean, 127 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: no one really knows how much Belichick makes. I guess 128 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: like fifteen million dollars, but that's still underpaid. What Andy 129 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Reid's done to the KNC Chiefs. They were a joke 130 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: in the late two thousands under p Oli and now 131 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: they go the playoffs every year, win divisions, host playoff games. 132 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: We're in the a f C Championship last year for 133 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: the first time. And what forever in twenty five years? Uh? 134 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: What Harbo has done to the Ravens like it just 135 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: this year has been a muscle flex four. Let's look 136 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: at the Saints. Drew Brees hurts his finger this year 137 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: and it's like the first thing I thought, it's like, 138 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 1: you know, you see Teddy come into that game against 139 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: the Rams, You're like, they're screwed. Do you know what? 140 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: It turns out they weren't screwed. They didn't lose a 141 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: game under Teddy, Bridgewater win win win, win, win win. 142 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Sean Payton worth his weight in gold the fort. You know, 143 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: it's like they fire everyone, the training staff, the doctors, 144 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: the wait staff. It's like, we gotta get over these injuries. Well, 145 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: what happened this year, same old injuries? And what happened 146 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan tired of making excuses. Left tackle out, right 147 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: tackle out, fullback out, tight end out, corner out, middle 148 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: linebacker out, that pass rusher out, No big deal. Well 149 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: we'll just we'll we'll scheme him, we'll figure it out. 150 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: Everyone's calling me the best young coach in the league. 151 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show everybody Seattle. I say it all the 152 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: time about the Seahawks, and I have beside the Patriots, 153 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: There's probably not an operation I respect more than what 154 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and John Snyder have done. And when you 155 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: look at this team this year, where's the talents? I mean, 156 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: they got four or five good players, but their roster 157 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: is nowhere near what it once was in the UH 158 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: like two thousand and twelve, whosand thirteen two thousand fourteen? 159 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: And what are they gonna do when twelve thirteen games? 160 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: No big deal? Pete Carroll culture just coach him up 161 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: philosophy something the analytic guys hate. Stop running the ball, Pete, 162 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: throw the ball. He's like, bro, we're nine in two. 163 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: Shut up, sit down, stop yelling at me. Baltimore, I was, 164 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: I can't. I'm still kind of shocked how good Lamar 165 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: Jackson is. I never in a million years or of 166 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: thought this. Now. Maybe the games changed, Maybe I need 167 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: to reevaluate the way I look at things. But what 168 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: John Harba do? He said, Well, my brother also had 169 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: a unique quarterback when Alex Smith went down and he 170 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: implemented him, and they revolutionized the way that they ran 171 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: an offense. Why don't we do the same thing. Why 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: don't we hire the same guy? So what does he do? 173 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: Goes and hires Greg Roman, And what have they done 174 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: taking the league by storm? You know what? Turns out 175 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: John Harbon knows what he's doing. And the Patriots this 176 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: year they haven't any wide receivers. Their running backs kind 177 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: of sucked. Gronk retires. Belichick is like, no big deal, 178 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: We'll just have the best secondary in the league. Me 179 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: and my son will call the defense. Okay, Flores, Patricia, 180 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: you guys are all gonna leave. We'll be better without you. 181 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: Special teams will step it up a notch, we'll block punts, 182 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: we'll take it to we'll do things that Jason Garrett's like, 183 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: what is going on right here? Yeah, Jason, we just 184 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: don't have a punt returner. We're gonna block your punt. 185 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: You know what's coming. I know it's coming, and we're 186 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: still gonna block this bad boy. So get ready because 187 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: you ain't beating us here in Foxborough. I'll promise you 188 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: that this year has been the ultimate just muscle flex 189 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: for coaching all the top teams, the best coaches in 190 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: the league. You know, you just it's been fun to 191 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: watch because sometimes and obviously the players are really important. 192 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's special player that they got studs on that team, 193 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: mark Ingram stud Belchi. You know, uh, step On Olmore 194 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: is one of the highest paid corners in the league. 195 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: It's not like you need good players. But it's like 196 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: if I had Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and Clay Thompson 197 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: and I had my mom coaching the Warriors, they'd still 198 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: be hard pressed to not make the finals. As long 199 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: as she had a decent, you know, assistant staff. It 200 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: just they would win. That's not the case in football. 201 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: If you put Jason Garrett on the Patriots, I don't 202 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: care if they still have Tom Brady. They're not winning 203 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: thirteen games. Now, maybe they still win ten because their 204 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: division sucks, but no way you put Jason. Look at 205 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: the Bills. How are the Bills doing this? You know 206 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: why Kashan McDermott is an elite defensive coach. They're gonna 207 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: win ten eleven games. They're offensive suck. If I put 208 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: an average. If I put Pat Schirmer on the Bills, 209 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: you think they're making the playoffs. If I gave Mike Tomins, 210 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: how have the Steelers won games with Duck Hodges and 211 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph throwing pick after pick after pick and that 212 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: losing Roethlisberger the first game of the season with a 213 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: to Tommy John surgery and when the dust settles worst 214 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: case scenario, you know what this Eilers are gonna be 215 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: probably eight and eight. Worst case. I bet they're still 216 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: nine and seven. It's like coaching has never mattered more 217 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Despite the rules being weird, you're not 218 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: allowed to hit anybody like the good coaches. The cream 219 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: is rising in this league unlike ever before because there 220 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: are probably the depth of coaching has probably never been better. 221 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: Like think about just the top ten coaches in this 222 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: league right now. Obviously have the greatest coach ever, but 223 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: then you can just rattle off the next five or 224 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: six guys are so accomplished and he read has two 225 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: hundred plus wins, hard Boss Sean Payton. These guys are 226 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: hundred win coaches with Super bowlves. You know, Pete Carroll. 227 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: You're talking about borderline Hall of famers, all these guys. 228 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: And then you've got some of the young guys like 229 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, who's a stud. Uh I'm missing, And you 230 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: got older guy like Mike Zimmer. Look at Mike Zimmer 231 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: what he's done in Minnesota since he's been there. So 232 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: clearly players matter, and I'm not trying to diminish their 233 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: their importance to this league because you're not like you. 234 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: You might be able to overachieve in football unlike the 235 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: other sports with average players, but your ceilings capped, I think, 236 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: unlike any time I ever remember. And part of this 237 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: is maybe the Patriots are a little bit down, but 238 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: there are probably eight teams that can win the Super Bowl. 239 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: And what do they all have in common? They got 240 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: great coaches. Okay, let's go game by game on Sunday. 241 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: You guys can hold me to this. I'll guess the 242 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: games on Turkey Day. I'll go Cowboys over the Bills, 243 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: must win. If the Cowboys lose Jerry, I can see 244 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: Jerry firing everybody. I'm gonna take the Bears under no circumstances. 245 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: Can I see Jeff Driscoll winning a game on Thanksgiving? 246 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy because you're gonna be listening to 247 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: this after it already happened. And then I will take 248 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: the Is it Saints Falcon's guy, You're you're giving us 249 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: an NFC South game on Turkey Day? I just I 250 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: don't know that field. That feels weird. I don't love that, 251 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: but I will take the Saints. Let's go to some 252 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: games that have not been played yet. Packers at the Giants. 253 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: The Giants stink, They are awful, Their defense is hideous. 254 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: Pat Shermer, good offensive coordinator, terrible head coach. Could have 255 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: seen this coming a mile away. I said, at the 256 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: moment they hired him. Gross. The Packers, Yeah, they got 257 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: their ass kicked by the forty Niners. This is your 258 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: classic bounce back game. You know, I think Davante Adams. 259 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: I I play some daily fantasy. I love picking daily 260 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: fantasy players against people. Teams like the Giants, the Giants, 261 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, the Cardinals. There are certain teams in this 262 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: league where guys go off. Davantae Adams didn't do anything 263 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: against the forty Niners. I like him to bounce back. 264 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: Say with Aaron Rodgers, I think he he had twenty 265 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: completions in a hundred five yards. That's that's like a 266 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: stat line you'd see with Danny Dimes, not not Aaron Rodgers. 267 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: So I'd expect the nice three h yard game. Now, 268 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: the weather probably could be crappy, but still, I mean, 269 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: I would expect Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to kick 270 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: the crap out of the Giants. I like them minus 271 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: seven in this game. Him Redskins at the Panthers. This 272 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: is another game that the Panthers are not going to 273 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but I think they thoroughly uh over this. 274 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: Over the course of the season, established himself as a 275 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: really solid team and maybe if the season starts over 276 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: that they would. You know, and had Kyle Allen from 277 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: the beginning when they dropped those games with Cam Newton 278 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: because in fairness to Cam Newton, he just was he 279 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: had no shot. Maybe they make the playoffs, or maybe 280 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: it's closer, maybe maybe they're in the mix. Uh hasking stinks. 281 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: He's every time I watch him, a slow breather, not 282 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: a quick decision maker. It's it's unfair to like I'm 283 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: not making some blanket opinion he will never be good, 284 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: but right now he's awful. It looks like a practice 285 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: squad guy in way over his head. Now you can say, yeah, 286 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: he's a rookie, but I saw Gardner Minshew, didn't you know, 287 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: pe right down his pants. He at least could function, 288 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: and Dwayne really can't right now. Uh now, it's he's 289 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: had a coaching change mid season. The franchise is a joke. 290 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: But I like the Panthers. Now minus ten, that's a 291 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: lot of points, but still I like the Panthers. Big 292 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: Niners at the raven It's probably the best game of 293 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: the day, the Ravens coming off a short week, right 294 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: they probably got home at eight in the morning. Lamar 295 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: Jackson is riding this this wave of dominance unlike something 296 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: we've seen a long time. The Niners have been the 297 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: best team start to finish in the league. Uh, this 298 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: is kind of a tough matchup for them. Some running 299 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks Kyler and Russell have given them trouble. The pocket 300 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks they've dominated, it's the running quarterbacks that have that 301 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: have hurt them a little bit. Now DeFord. As of 302 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: recording this, Kyle Shanahan thought it was a chance the 303 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Dford plays, which a guy like that would help against Lamar. 304 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: Uh Niners getting six points. That seems like a lot 305 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: because the Niners can run the ball, they can control 306 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: the clock. It's gonna be terrible weather, but it's not 307 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: a grass field, so it's not gonna be slipping and 308 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: sliding in the sense of the mud Bowl like when 309 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: the Niners played the Redskins. I think you'd have to 310 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: pick the Ravens. And I'm a little biased here because 311 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: I watched the Niners so closely. But games in Baltimore 312 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: tough trip ten am kickoff for a for a West 313 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: Coast team. You know the stats, We've heard it for years. 314 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: It's just a tough situation, especially late in the season. 315 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: But I do like the Niners plus six that that 316 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: number has been going up and up and up. I 317 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I think the Niners. It's not 318 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: like the Ravens are dramatically better than the Niners. They 319 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: played on a neutral field, you know, on on a 320 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: normal week, the game would probably be like a one 321 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: or two point line at most. So yeah, I like 322 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: the Niners to cover. Probably the Ravens will win. Titans 323 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: at the Colts, this is pretty good game too. The 324 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: Titans listen when since Bryan tanney Hill has been the 325 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, he's changed the franchise marks. Mariota couldn't complete 326 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver screens, Bryan tanne Hills running over people at 327 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: the goal line. Derrick Henry, Who's gonna be a free agent? 328 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: I was reading some stuff on Twitter this morning. Looks 329 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: like the Titans might franchise him because if he were 330 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: to hit the open market, someone would pay him. He 331 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: is a stud. I went to Titans O t a 332 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: s I think a year ago, maybe two years ago. 333 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: Two has an eighteen the spring. He is so big. 334 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: He looks like a defensive lineman and he can really run. 335 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: He can really play. When he gets going, he changes 336 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: it for them because the Titans defense is solid. Then 337 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: you got the Colts, who listen depending on what game 338 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: you watched Jacobe You can go god, he's pretty solid 339 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: or you know, leaves something to be desired. Now, he 340 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: did hurt his knee. T Y has been banged up 341 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: this season. Eric Keebron hasn't quite been the same, but 342 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: the culture well coached. This is a great game. I 343 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: probably would pick the Titans plus two and a half, 344 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: but to me, this is a coin flip game and 345 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: whoever wins this this is a huge swing game for 346 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, this is this must win for 347 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: both both teams. This is an important game for not 348 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: just the a f C South, but the a f 349 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: C wild Card. Whoever wins this game, depending on what 350 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: happens to the Houston Patriot game, has got a chance 351 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: to you know, kind of solidify themselves as a six 352 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: Because if the Titans win this game, then they play 353 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: the Raiders next week, they could be in the driver's 354 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: seat for that sixth seed. And they still play the 355 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: Texans twice, so they wouldn't be dead to win the division, 356 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: and then it would be pretty clear that the Titans 357 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: and Texans are gonna make the playoffs. Eagles at Miami, uh, 358 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: this has to be a get right game for Carson Wentz. 359 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: I talked about him earlier in the week. He hasn't 360 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: been playing very well. Miami's one of those weird bad 361 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: teams because they play so damn hard. Uh this in 362 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: Phili it feels like the buildings burning down just because 363 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: they had Super Bowl hopes and now they're playoff lives 364 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: or you know, hanging on by a shoe string, even 365 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: though I don't even view them as a playoff team, 366 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: even though mathematically they're right in it, because they're you know, 367 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: right at again Dallas. I'm assuming they win. We're still 368 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: one game behind them, but hell Bills could beat him. 369 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: Uh So, I like the Eagles in this game. Raiders 370 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: at Kansas City, welcome to reality, Oakland. You're not very good. 371 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: Your defense is Listen. The Bengals might be a worst defense. 372 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: I'd even say they're not because they got better players. 373 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: The Raiders defense is atrocious. I like Kansas City to 374 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: the School Roy the Raiders. I think the Raiders, who 375 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: just got their ass kicked by the Jets are going 376 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: to get their ass kicked by the Chiefs and then 377 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: they play the Titans next week at home. They lose 378 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: that game, like playoff talk, like Jim More senior ones 379 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: at playoffs, like, shut up, stop, We'll stop talking about 380 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. For the Raiders, Derek Carr is atrocious in 381 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: the cold weather. Jack Deel Reel has been tweeting about it. 382 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: Think he's owing four in games under forty five degrees. 383 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: Him and Jared Goff. There are no two quarterbacks. I 384 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: feel more comfortable making a substantial wager when they play 385 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: in cold weather. They shrivel there. They're just they can't 386 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: do it for whatever reason. Uh So, I like Kansas 387 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: City to win big and then they're eighting four and 388 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: they're kind of back in the driver's seat. You know, 389 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: they gotta get their kind of mind right down the 390 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: home stretch to get the seating. Tampa at Jacksonville. Tampa 391 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: has been a bizarre team all year because Jamis turns 392 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: the ball over at historic rates, but he also throws 393 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns. And between Mike Evans and Chris 394 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: Godwin and my guy Roe Joe at USC is now 395 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: kind of running the ball well that they do have 396 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: in a splosed of offense, but their their defense stinks. Jacksonville, 397 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: who kind of little gardener magic earlier in the season, 398 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: has come back to Earth, but I don't even this 399 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: game is a pick him in Vegas high coin flip game. 400 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: I probably lean Tampa just because Jacksonville's defense has been 401 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: really the last couple of years since they played in 402 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game, has been a shell 403 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: of itself. Now they trade Jalen Ramsey, Calaius is getting older. 404 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's just Miles jack isn't quite as good 405 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: as he once was. It's understandable, but they should not be. 406 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean, when I look up and it's twenty to 407 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: three or whatever against the Titans at the end of 408 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: the half, You're like, what is going on? They're kind 409 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: of gutless this year. It's kind of sad because they 410 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: do have a lot of talent. I guess I would 411 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: lean tamp in this game. Jets at the Bengals. Bengals 412 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: are losing this. Sam Donald's getting hot, the Jets are 413 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: playing well. There was a story that after the game. 414 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: I can't believe. The New York Post reported this that 415 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: Sam Donald went out and got drunk. Yeah, that's in 416 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: was kissing a chick. Remember when everyone's like middle golf, 417 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: you're being so mean about his motto. He just he didn't. 418 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: We don't know he kissed a girl again. I'm pro 419 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: making out. I'm pro getting drunk after wins. I'm pro parting. 420 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: If you're a starting quarterback in the NFL, I would 421 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: I would do so. It wasn't a story to me. 422 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: It was kind of funny. But I'm a big Sam 423 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: Donald guy. I'm glad that he's starting to kind of 424 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: get his mojo back. And uh god, he he looked 425 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: really good the last couple of weeks. He's a very 426 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: talented player. He went number three in the draft for 427 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: a reason. He has all the goods to be a 428 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. Now that it's on the Jets to do 429 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: a good job building around him, for him to just 430 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, keep figuring out the game mentally so he 431 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: doesn't get in these positions where he sees ghosts. But 432 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: he's only twenty two years old to meet. This guy's 433 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: the limit Rams at Arizona. If if the Rams can't 434 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: win this game like they are, it's an indictment not 435 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: just on the season, but big picture, like they might 436 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: be screwed, Like how how are they gonna add offensive lineman? 437 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: They're not gonna have any free agency money because they're 438 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: paying five guys six of the cat Then you look 439 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: at the draft picks. You don't have any first round 440 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: picks coming up. They've gone to this. If it was 441 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: an NBA team, they'd be fine, But in the NFL 442 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: you need more than three or four players. And one 443 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: big issue for them is if you can't block for 444 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, you're screwed. He's like a twenty six year 445 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: old Eli Manning. He can't move, so he's not athletic 446 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: enough to avoid the rush. And their offensive line is 447 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: there's a joke. I mean it's they can't. They can't 448 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: block anybody. And Whitworth, who was their best player a 449 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, is now he just got old. 450 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: You know he's he was old. He was kind of 451 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: defying for father time for a minute, and I I 452 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: really don't want what they do. They got Jared Goff, 453 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: who who they're paying a hundred ten million dollars, who 454 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: can't function behind a bad offensive line, and they don't 455 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: have good offensive line. They got Todd Gurley, who they're 456 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: paying a boatload of money, who's a shell of himself. 457 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: They got Brandon Cooks, who they overpaid. Slash has concussion issues, 458 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: so he can't really produce. The only guy really living 459 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: up to the You got two of them. Jalen and 460 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald are good players. They were worth big money. 461 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: The other three guys are not. So that's you can't 462 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: invest your money in the wrong players in the NFL, 463 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: or you will lose Brown's at the Steelers. Uh. I 464 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: don't really know what to make of this game. The 465 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: Browns should win, right Their offense is kind of clicking 466 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: these last couple of games. Odell Jarvis just had what 467 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: three touchdowns last week? Nick Chubb has been good all season. 468 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt looks awesome since he's been back. Now, I 469 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: just never trust Freddie Kitchens in pressure spots. He did 470 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: beat this team two weeks ago. But the elephant in 471 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: the room is gonna be Miles Garrett at this game. 472 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: I think I saw something on Twitter. They're not gonna 473 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: allow Miles Garrett Jersey into the into the wherever the 474 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: hell the Steelers play? What's it called? Uh fed no 475 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: hines Field. But do I feel good about putting money 476 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: on Duck Hodges? The Steelers are getting two and a 477 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: half at home. You know, I kind of like the 478 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: Browns the more I think about it. But you know, 479 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: I I do have faith in Mike tom in some 480 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: of these spots. This is a tough game. I'm interested 481 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: to watch how this bad boy plays out Pat's at Houston. 482 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: The more more I've thought about this game this week 483 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: is Houston is so dependent on their wide receivers Hopkins 484 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: and Fuller. When those two guys eat, they win. If 485 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: those two guys don't produce, they're screwed. Well, what does 486 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: New England do better than anyone? They cover? Stefan Gilmore 487 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: has been had one of the great like three year 488 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: stretches of any corner ever he's been. He's underpaid and 489 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: he was at the time the highest paid corner in 490 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: the league. I I just I don't like the matchup 491 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: for Houston, right, I just do not like the matchup 492 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: for Houston. They can really cover and the Texans don't 493 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: really do anything else, well besides throw the ball. I 494 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: know Belichick makes them sound like they're Niners because I 495 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: was watching some of his press conference this morning, but 496 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: that's just not the case. That they're a They're like 497 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: a three man team. And you can say Romeo does 498 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: a great job all you want, but I think I'll 499 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: take Josh McDaniels, Tom Brady and just their ability to 500 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: figure it out. Who who's the corners for Texans right 501 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 1: now are bad? I mean there's garyon Conley is not 502 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: very good. That they don't really have much of a 503 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: pass rush with this Texans squad. I mean j Watts 504 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: out for the year. So I like the tech I 505 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: excuse me. I like the Pats in this game, uh 506 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: pretty handily. And if Houston loses, and depending on what 507 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: happens in this Titans Colts game, either way, someone's got 508 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: to win that game. The an FC South just becomes 509 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: interesting again. Come down the home stretch, her baby, Okay, 510 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: let's dive into the Middlecoff mail back. It's where I 511 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: answer you guys questions and uh at jiln Middlecoff fire 512 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: into the d m s. Could this be the best 513 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: defensive line ever? Speaking of the second off, you were 514 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: wrong on Bosa. Like when I watched football on Sunday, 515 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: that dude jumps off the screen. He's unstoppable and he 516 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: might be the be the defensive player of the year. 517 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: Why did you not like them? Let me down a 518 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: lot of tape at Ohio State. Second would love to 519 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: know as a scout. This is we gotta work on 520 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: our grammar a little bit, but I appreciate the effort. Yeah, 521 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I I thought Nick his athletic ability was 522 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: just a little limited, you know, like when when I 523 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: see the Miles Garrett's, the Khalil Max, even the Clownees 524 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: that they were elite athletes. But it was either a 525 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: coach in the league or it might have been Daniel Jeremiah. 526 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: When I was texting, you know, during the draft process. 527 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: They just said, I think it was a coach. Actually, 528 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: he said, you guys are just born to do it. 529 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: They just so if you worry so much about forty 530 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: times and how hard they high they jump, like, don't 531 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: worry about that crap. And sometimes I got that in me. 532 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: I got a little Al Davis in me, and it 533 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter that the guy was born to dominate. And yeah, 534 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: I was just I was too critically. I was just 535 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: too critical of some ship. That just doesn't matter. He's 536 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: a he's an elite player, and he's gonna be elite 537 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: player as long as say he's healthy, like he's he's 538 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame town he really is. And best 539 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: defensive line ever, I'd have to think about that one. 540 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta get it done in the playoffs. 541 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: I think the Oh seven Pats with or definitely the 542 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: eleven or not the O seven Pats, the team that 543 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,239 Speaker 1: beat the O seven Pats, the O seven Giants, and 544 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: then the eleven Giants with like JPP Kiwa, Nuka, O 545 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: c Human, Eura Canty, the and then the ones with 546 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: stray Hand. Those talk they dominated when all the chips 547 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: were in the middle of the table. So it's awesome 548 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: to dominate in the regular season. That matters because that 549 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: gets you to the playoffs. But the stakes get even 550 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: higher come January. So can you dominate in January? And 551 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 1: I don't see why the forty Niners wouldn't be able 552 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: to dominate in January, but but I do think that 553 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: to claim the best defensive ever, best offense ever, you 554 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: gotta get it done. You know we say forever, the 555 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: best offense ever, Oh seven Pats. And then that second 556 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: year of Peyton Manning, Well, you gotta win this Bowl. 557 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta win the Super Bowl for me 558 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: to put you in like a Montana cooking unit or 559 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: some of those Cowboys units or some of the FARV groups. 560 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking off top of my head. I mean, 561 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: there's several other offenses. You gotta get it done, like 562 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: James Harden's He's better than Michael Jordan's bullshit. You can't 563 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: keep flopping in the playoffs. No one cares what you 564 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: do in January. Nobody except some Twitter accounts that tweet 565 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: out your highlights. This whole thing in sports is about 566 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: playoffs and championships. Now, there's there's other stuff that's important. 567 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: You play well, you get paid, you lead a good life, 568 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: you get famous, all that crap. But the whole point 569 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: of this is to win and when when games matter. 570 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're they're They're an elite regular season defensive line. 571 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: I don't see why they wouldn't be elite in the playoffs. 572 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a lot of pressure on them 573 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: in the playoffs to dominate. Okay, listen to your take 574 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: on Dallas New England game. The game, and you had 575 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: a key point bringing up the score, remarking that the 576 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: game was not as close as the score would show. 577 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: Basically that New England owned US defense certainly slayed and 578 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: Dallas as a knack for stepping on their own feet constantly. 579 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: You didn't bring up the tripping call. I didn't bring 580 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: up the tripping call because I don't care. I'm not 581 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: gonna allow the tripping call to act like that was 582 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: the reason that Cowboys lost. Because it was the reason 583 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: that Cowboys lost is because Jason Garrett was h you know, 584 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: up a river without a paddle. I mean, he was 585 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: just he had no clue what was going on. Brady 586 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: looked May. I agree. Brady's looked May all season, and 587 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: Zekes showed up. I would agree. I never said Zeke sucked. 588 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: It was superior. Defense is challenging a team not acclimated 589 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: to the region anyways. My question not a big college guy, 590 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: so I never know who's coming out other than a 591 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: few names for the upcoming draft. To feel Dallas should 592 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: pick defense, who would potentially be available at the pick 593 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: Dallas in the in the early twenties, I would say 594 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: that they could always use another defensive lineman. You look 595 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: at the defensive line. They struggled getting pressure in the 596 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: game again Brady, and if DeMarcus Lawrence doesn't dominate, like, 597 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: who else do they have? You can never have enough 598 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: defensive backs, you know, with Vander esh who is banged up, 599 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: and Jalen Smith. I would imagine they're not gonna take 600 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: a linebacker in the first round, so I would say 601 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: defensive back or defensive lineman. You know, I think it's 602 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: one of those two areas. Player wise, I'm not super 603 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: locked in on the draft right now to be honestly 604 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: about what players would be in that value range. I'll 605 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: have a better idea come like February. I've been a 606 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: lifelong Viking fan. Do you think there is a realistic 607 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: chance to break the curse and possibly win a ring 608 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: this year? I think we're gonna find out a lot 609 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: about the Vikings over the next month. They go into 610 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: Seattle and win that game, and then they host Screen 611 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: Bay and win those games. I'll say, hell yeah, they 612 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: are a Super Bowl contender. I mean, I think they're 613 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender as we sit here right now. I 614 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: think the pushback from people that are anti I think 615 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: it would be anti Cousins. Not their defense is good enough, 616 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: their coach is good enough. It's can their can their 617 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: quarterback at and we're gonna get a front row seat 618 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: on our couch unless you live in Seattle and are 619 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: going to the game when they play the Seahawks. Can 620 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: he go in and the twelves. That place is always 621 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: so much louder on a Sunday or Monday night, those 622 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: fans that places nuts in a night game. Can he 623 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: go into that hostile environment and produce because he's played 624 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: really well this season, he really has. Beside the one 625 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: game against the Bears where he was atrocious, other than that, 626 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: he's been good. They win that game, I think we 627 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: start talking. Can they win the division and you win 628 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: that division and you get a home game potentially, depending 629 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: on how it all plays out, maybe you get a 630 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: home you know, a home field by Yeah, if somehow, 631 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: and it's not out of the realm of possibility. They 632 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: would need the Saints to drop a couple of games, 633 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: and the Niners too, but they could get the one 634 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: seat if they won the next five games and and 635 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: shick out weird down the home stretch. That's probably more 636 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: likely best case scenario for them. If they ran the 637 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: table and went I guess they would be thirteen and three, 638 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: probably be the two seed, but wouldn't want to go 639 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: play the schools and that in that place rocking but 640 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: a lot. It's gonna come down to how good Kirk 641 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: Cousins plays in the big moments. And actually I'm becoming 642 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: more and more confident with him just because of the 643 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: way they've built their team. And the way they've built 644 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: their team is if Thelm can come back, and he's 645 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: clearly really important. But the running back to the Star 646 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: and the past Rushers are awesome. With all the talk 647 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: about moving in the NFL franchise overseas, how do you 648 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: see the possible playoff logistics working? The reason the regular 649 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: season can work with buys and consecutive road games, but 650 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: the wild card and divisional rounds could be a sticking point. 651 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear your take on that. Well, if 652 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: they move the Jaguars, you wouldn't have to worry about 653 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: playoff games, right, I'm just getting uh yeah, I mean 654 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: I I can't pretend to have really thought it that 655 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: far through uh so that there are huge roadblocks and 656 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: hurdles to figure out. I completely understand that, and I 657 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: don't I'm saying they should move them there if they 658 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: want to, I don't necessarily think they will. I live 659 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: in Charlotte and I'm a huge Panthers fan. With so 660 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: many speculations swirling around rond Veris future, do you think 661 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: there should he should be let go And if so, 662 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: who are some head coach replacements that you could see 663 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: David Tepper going after. I think Ronner Very is a 664 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: really good head coach. If he got fired, he should 665 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: get a job immediately, Like he is a playoff level 666 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: head coach. Uh do I think he's gonna be fired? 667 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: You would just say a new owner, they're gonna miss 668 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's an easy kind of point in the 669 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: franchise for him to hit the reset button. So I 670 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, it feels kind of likely he's a 671 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: he's a let go candidate, right. Uh. Potential coaches, Well, 672 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: they got McCaffrey, they got DJ Moore, they got some 673 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 1: pieces on offense. Cam Newton situation is gonna be up 674 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: in the air. They still got kick Lee, but he's 675 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: getting a little older. I would imagine Dave Tepper, new 676 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: owner would go after an offensive coach, you know, attempt. 677 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: Maybe he writes an enormous check to Lincoln Riley, Matt Rule, 678 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: you know called Josh McDaniels. Other than those like three 679 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: guys like who are really the coaching candidates this year? 680 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer, Greg Roman, Those guys are gonna get a 681 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: head coaching job. I'm hard pressed to see it. Everyone 682 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: keeps asking me, like, who are the head coaching candidates? Well, 683 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, Matt Rule and Josh Mean Daniels. I don't 684 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: really know that there aren't really. I mean, if Ron 685 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: Riveri got fired, he would be one. If Jason Garrett 686 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: got fired, I wouldn't hire him, but maybe someone would. Yeah, 687 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: I guess you could do worse. That's what's gonna be. 688 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: I think David Tepper, when he's thinking about firing Ron 689 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: Riveria needs to ask that question to whoever's around him, 690 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: like who who are we going after? Can we upgrade? 691 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: Are we just firing a coach because we should fire 692 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: the coach? I think sometimes that happens, But that, to 693 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: me is what you're gonna have to figure out before 694 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: you pull the trigger. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. 695 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you're listening to this, you're probably powering 696 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: down some leftovers. That's that's that's the best part about Thanksgiving. 697 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: You just get the pound leftovers. There's no better feeling 698 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: also than just be like, you know what, I'm gonna 699 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: get fat for the next two or three days and 700 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't give a ship.
