High with my dogs.

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.060
Rotting high when.
12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:44.700
We pull up.
13
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:46.579
When we ride, when we pull up.
14
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.770
We be high, when we pull up.

22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.890
Happy Saturday, biggie. And to everyone that, uh, checks this
23
00:01:45.950 --> 00:01:50.469
episode out, whether you're on Twitch or listening post show
24
00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:55.450
via download, um, Our boys are over in London. We
25
00:01:55.489 --> 00:02:00.079
got that big 9.30 a.m. game tomorrow. Your boys will
26
00:02:00.189 --> 00:02:04.659
be watching it together, which is a beautiful thing. And
27
00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.840
we didn't talk about what we were going to talk about. Obviously,
28
00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:17.349
we're doing a preview today. But good Lord, Eric, Thursday
29
00:02:17.370 --> 00:02:21.430
night football. We sat here talking about how the Bucs
30
00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:25.400
are terrible. And that Todd Bowles could be the first
31
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:34.939
coach fired. And what happens? They make Dallas. And this
32
00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:35.759
is the league.
33
00:02:35.830 --> 00:02:36.930
I felt like an idiot.
34
00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:37.289
Yes.
35
00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:38.349
I felt like an idiot.
36
00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.449
But especially this early. I know we're in week five.
37
00:02:42.750 --> 00:02:44.990
And it's crazy to think we're five weeks into the
38
00:02:45.050 --> 00:02:48.349
NFL season already. Feels like just a week ago. It
39
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:53.099
was week one. But. You still don't know what these
40
00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:59.360
teams are yet. And the NFL is such a week-to-week league. Like,
41
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.719
did I think Jalen Daniels played pretty good? Yeah, he
42
00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:08.780
played poised. He looked solid. But they got Bucky Irvin
43
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.879
going for the first time in, like, the last year
44
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.800
and a half. And they just ran the ball down
45
00:03:15.819 --> 00:03:19.840
Dallas' throat. And what you do... When a team can't
46
00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:23.539
stop something, you keep doing it. And when you flip
47
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.150
that pressure, especially they didn't let it get out of
48
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.909
hand early. Dallas marched up and down the field their
49
00:03:30.949 --> 00:03:33.909
first try. They scored a touchdown. Tampa takes like 11
50
00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:37.210
minutes off the clock. They tie the game up. Dallas
51
00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:41.069
kicks a field goal before halftime, and it's 10-7. And
52
00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:44.219
then you come out in the second half, and Tampa
53
00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:46.509
Bay puts up 21 points in the third quarter. And
54
00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:52.370
they never let Dallas' offense get comfortable. And to me,
55
00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:55.210
that just goes to show you, even if you have
56
00:03:55.250 --> 00:04:00.979
an elite offense, if you are the worst team going
57
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.419
into a game, if you make it uncomfortable and just
58
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.439
hang around enough, you can find a way and find
59
00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:11.120
the method to get that win.
60
00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:11.310
And....
61
00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:17.399
There's something about a desperate team going on the road
62
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:21.990
against a team that on paper looks so much better
63
00:04:22.029 --> 00:04:26.089
in every asset, every facet of the game. But sometimes
64
00:04:26.129 --> 00:04:30.189
that desperate team comes out and is ready to play,
65
00:04:30.269 --> 00:04:34.300
ready for the moment. And then you reverse the pressure.
66
00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:38.220
Like Dallas in that third quarter was sitting there pressing,
67
00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:41.100
going like, oh crap, we don't know. We don't know
68
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.370
what's happening, what's going on. Then the blitzes were coming
69
00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:47.329
and Dak's frustrated and Dak's not able to get easy
70
00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:52.500
passes off. And it just compounds. And then you look, okay,
71
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.199
Dallas made it a game late in the fourth quarter. But, like, dude,
72
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.660
it's a week-to-week league. And even if you're looking horrible,
73
00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:04.180
you still have an opportunity if you come out and
74
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.699
actually execute and make a couple plays. And I think
75
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:14.620
that's important going into tomorrow's game. We looked at it
76
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.920
last week thinking the Rams. This is probably a double-digit
77
00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:20.519
win for the Rams. Eagles played good for a half
78
00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.319
and then completely fell apart in the second half and
79
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.860
had injuries. But with this week that they've had, this
80
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.290
is potential. This could potentially be the type of situation
81
00:05:34.329 --> 00:05:36.970
where it's a rallying cry and if the Eagles come
82
00:05:37.009 --> 00:05:40.470
out and steal a game here against the Jags in London...
83
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.899
That could change the trajectory of the season just like that.
84
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.490
Matt, I have breaking news, but I don't. 16 minutes ago,
85
00:05:54.509 --> 00:05:59.129
Adam Schefter reporting that the Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a
86
00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:01.670
deal to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison.
87
00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:05.300
Sources tell. Tim and Ian Rappaport.
88
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.490
The team informed Harrison this morning that he will be
89
00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:10.870
inactive for Sunday's game versus Detroit as details of the
90
00:06:10.970 --> 00:06:12.189
trade are finalized.
91
00:06:13.850 --> 00:06:17.949
Oh, man. Get that boy here.
92
00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:22.370
Get that boy here.
93
00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:28.610
Your new favorite person, Ryan Pagnetti, is saying congratulations to
94
00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:29.089
the Chiefs.
95
00:06:29.350 --> 00:06:31.750
Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tyreek will put them over the top.
96
00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:39.699
God, that's a good move for them. Oh, if that's them.
97
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:45.019
And Peg Nettie is saying, not sharing the destination is
98
00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:50.439
peak engagement. Ooh.
99
00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:53.050
Because you didn't report who it was. You just said
100
00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:53.889
he was getting traded.
101
00:06:56.089 --> 00:06:59.009
If that is a move that the Chiefs make, like, because...
102
00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:01.959
Marvin Harrison Jr. right now is a bust. I think
103
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.790
this is going to be a trade that's mutually beneficial.
104
00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:10.750
I don't think it's the right situation for him, and
105
00:07:10.790 --> 00:07:13.649
I think he needs a fresh start. If you get
106
00:07:13.709 --> 00:07:19.389
him with Andy and Pat, we might see why he
107
00:07:19.430 --> 00:07:24.589
was the fourth overall pick in the draft. I think
108
00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:27.420
the kid can play. I think Arizona's just been such
109
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.120
a shit situation.
110
00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:33.399
Yeah. And I heard something, too.
111
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:35.810
I started laughing that if Arizona's number one pick, they
112
00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:39.970
would go after Jeremiah Smith. Are you going to waste
113
00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:44.129
fucking Smith, too? Unreal.
114
00:07:44.589 --> 00:07:45.529
Oh, yeah.
115
00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:48.569
What a waste. What a waste that would fucking be.
116
00:07:50.550 --> 00:07:57.009
Before we go into anything more, I want to, you know,
117
00:07:57.069 --> 00:07:57.579
rest in peace.
118
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.720
Mike Ditka passed away yesterday.
119
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.740
Yes, indeed. I remember when you told me. I was shocked. Dicka,
120
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:10.370
the fucking man. Great player. Hell of a coach.
121
00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:19.110
Had some, I think, how do I say this proper?
122
00:08:21.670 --> 00:08:29.860
He had some, in his later years, had some bad things.
123
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.179
And it was political reasons.
124
00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:35.600
Oh, yes.
125
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:43.379
People started falling off of the Mike Ditka love because
126
00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:43.779
of that.
127
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:54.980
We tend to forget, like, Ditka's from a very old
128
00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:59.909
time period. It's very rare, like, when you get to
129
00:08:59.929 --> 00:09:02.740
your 60s and 70s, you're going to, like, change your feathers.
130
00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:12.379
I mean, I hate politics to begin with, but just remember,
131
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.700
boys and girls, when you have money and you're from
132
00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:25.590
an older generation, they might not have the most all-inclusive
133
00:09:25.669 --> 00:09:29.990
type of views. It's very important to remember like the
134
00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:32.169
time period people grew up and where they are. Um,
135
00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:36.110
I mean, it's not saying if he said anything crazy
136
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:42.029
that he's not an old curmudgeon, but like, especially when
137
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:45.990
you're in the public eye, kind of got to remember where,
138
00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:48.740
like what generation they're from and how they grew up
139
00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:50.419
and what things were like, like you get set in
140
00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:52.529
your ways and you're 60 years old. and you're not changing.
141
00:09:53.370 --> 00:09:55.490
Yeah, yeah.
142
00:09:57.009 --> 00:10:04.200
Let's get into what happened in week four and go
143
00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:11.320
into week five. Let's read off scores and talk about
144
00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:15.350
what you thought of these games. We'll take the Eagles
145
00:10:15.389 --> 00:10:19.360
game out of it. We talked about the Steelers-Browns already.
146
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.639
That was Thursday Night Football. We did the Eagles. Matt,
147
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:32.340
the Colts beat the Washington Commanders over in London. 30-13.
148
00:10:32.429 --> 00:10:42.679
The Commanders quarterback, Athon Kali Kamanis, was playing after a
149
00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:44.179
Marcus Mariota injury.
150
00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.940
Mariota went three for four.
151
00:10:47.149 --> 00:10:55.370
With getting sacked, and then Kyler Kalamanis went 15-33, 186 yards,
152
00:10:55.490 --> 00:10:58.570
one touchdown, one interception. Did you know anything about this
153
00:10:58.649 --> 00:10:59.629
Kyler Kalamanis?
154
00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:03.009
Yeah, he was a seventh-round pick out of Rutgers. He
155
00:11:03.029 --> 00:11:07.529
looks like he's 12 years old. He made a couple
156
00:11:07.549 --> 00:11:10.509
nice throws. They were cooking sauce, Gardner.
157
00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:13.169
If he's 12 years old, maybe he's your son?
158
00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:18.519
No, I'm not Greek. Uh, that's a, that's a very
159
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.039
Greek name.
160
00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:21.159
That's not what I heard about.
161
00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:24.480
That's not what I heard about the Matt Nemo fucking game.
162
00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:28.879
I heard it's a fucking, I heard they call you
163
00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:29.679
the Greek God.
164
00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:35.240
No, sir. Stay away from Greece.
165
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.080
Um, not Japan though, right?
166
00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:42.519
No, no, we're pro Japan. Um, Calic man is, he
167
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:48.470
looked okay for coming in cold. Um, Both of these
168
00:11:48.529 --> 00:11:49.490
teams are slop.
169
00:11:50.169 --> 00:11:50.769
Horrible.
170
00:11:51.429 --> 00:11:56.669
Watch that game Sunday morning. The Colts are slop. The
171
00:11:56.710 --> 00:12:03.580
Commanders are slop. Luckily, you know, and this is what happens. Like,
172
00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:07.899
the kid, the backup comes in, makes a couple plays.
173
00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:14.960
But unless that continues to happen, he's not taking any
174
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.570
reps during the week, so he's barely... trying to function
175
00:12:18.669 --> 00:12:22.230
and keep the offense running. And I don't, the commander's
176
00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:25.870
defense is aggressive and they're playing a little bit better,
177
00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:29.029
but they're, they're not a unit that is like ready
178
00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:34.720
to shut an offense down and, you know, keep that
179
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.279
offense in the game. Even I know they beat Seattle,
180
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.779
but they forced like four turnovers that game. If they're
181
00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:46.419
not doing that, that defense isn't good enough. And, hey,
182
00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:50.700
Mariota gets hurt. And, you know, as expected, after a
183
00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:53.100
couple flash plays, the Colts just kind of settle down
184
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.860
and take over. But both of these teams stink.
185
00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:59.419
Yeah, there was not a lot of action.
186
00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:05.309
No. There's Jonathan Taylor dominating overseas like he always does.
187
00:13:06.029 --> 00:13:07.850
Yes.
188
00:13:10.830 --> 00:13:13.889
And then we had, next up, we had, why does
189
00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:18.429
this stink? The Cowboys beat the Texans 34-30. This game
190
00:13:18.549 --> 00:13:22.850
almost went the other way, which spells trouble for the
191
00:13:22.950 --> 00:13:24.690
Dallas Cowboys' defense.
192
00:13:25.370 --> 00:13:27.120
The Texans had.
193
00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:31.799
Why is this not fucking loading? Okay, I don't know
194
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.039
what's going on. Back when 32-45 for 335 and only
195
00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:38.919
one touchdown, Javante.
196
00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:48.820
Williams, 19... Carries for 62 yards and three touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb,
197
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:54.159
17 catches, 189 yards on 21 targets. Dude, I'll tell
198
00:13:54.179 --> 00:14:01.509
you what. Houston's in trouble, and it's not just they're off.
199
00:14:01.629 --> 00:14:06.769
They can't run the fucking football at all. They cannot
200
00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:10.250
run the football at all. Against Dallas' run defense is horrible.
201
00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:15.090
And as a team last week, Houston had 19 carries
202
00:14:15.129 --> 00:14:20.440
for 62 yards. David Montgomery 10 for 24. Willie Marks
203
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.440
6 for 22 on the touchdown. Nico Collins coming back
204
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.840
helped open up the passing game a little bit, which
205
00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:28.120
is– that's very good.
206
00:14:31.129 --> 00:14:36.169
Speaking of Houston, it looks like– no, it looks like
207
00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:41.929
Schefter is reporting that the team could be– the Houston
208
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.600
Texans– I kept Marvin Harrison.
209
00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:45.820
Wow.
210
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.659
He's saying one team that had really close Marvin Harrison
211
00:14:50.710 --> 00:14:53.370
trade talks with Arizona is Houston. Sources tell him and
212
00:14:53.389 --> 00:14:57.070
Ian Rappaport, Houston has been and is thought to be
213
00:14:57.429 --> 00:15:00.149
square in the mix for Harrison. But as one Texan
214
00:15:00.210 --> 00:15:03.029
source said about the team's interest, I can't confirm or
215
00:15:03.049 --> 00:15:06.080
deny it at this time. Oh, I don't know what
216
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.909
the fuck's going on. What a fucking world. I may
217
00:15:09.009 --> 00:15:15.669
or may have not done that. Dude, imagine talking in that. If, like, you're, like,
218
00:15:15.710 --> 00:15:16.629
you're significant out there.
219
00:15:16.669 --> 00:15:17.350
Did you do that?
220
00:15:18.049 --> 00:15:20.909
I may or may not. What the fuck kind of
221
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:22.220
answer is that?
222
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.620
I don't know what the Texans give up if they get.
223
00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.899
What is that we do? What is that? What's that
224
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.899
we're doing? Giving up the six-round pick? 26.
225
00:15:32.899 --> 00:15:40.379
Houston has six picks in 2027. They have a one, two, three, four, six,
226
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.440
and seven. They have two picks in the seventh round.
227
00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:46.759
What do they have in 2028? We have a lot
228
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:47.860
of 2028.
229
00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:49.090
One, two, three, four, five, and seven. This team is
230
00:15:49.389 --> 00:15:49.690
in trouble.
231
00:16:04.250 --> 00:16:06.389
They don't have draft capital.
232
00:16:07.809 --> 00:16:12.279
I mean, they're really, dude, it's getting bad.
233
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.659
They are ripping that fucking, the way that Schefter put
234
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.200
that out there.
235
00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:24.889
It's all over. Dude, I'm looking on X as we're doing.
236
00:16:24.690 --> 00:16:28.649
The show, and they are just, people are just destroying
237
00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:33.470
Schefter for the wording of that report.
238
00:16:34.409 --> 00:16:37.269
Well, yeah, when you just say they're finalizing a trade,
239
00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:44.389
I mean, that's great, but what's happening? And he doesn't
240
00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:48.679
even know. So he got word from Arizona that they're
241
00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:54.320
trading Marvin Harrison Jr., but he doesn't know. They didn't
242
00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:57.470
tell him the team or what the possible compensation is.
243
00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.210
Nobody knows.
244
00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:03.190
Nobody knows. Yeah.
245
00:17:03.710 --> 00:17:04.309
Horrible.
246
00:17:05.329 --> 00:17:08.599
So at this point, it could be anybody. We just
247
00:17:08.619 --> 00:17:11.279
think Marvin Harrison Jr. is getting traded. Yeah.
248
00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:15.190
And it could also be that he doesn't get traded.
249
00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:19.170
I don't know. He could or could not get traded.
250
00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:19.730
Who knows?
251
00:17:19.769 --> 00:17:19.970
Yes.
252
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.960
So we're going to wait for more information on that.
253
00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:27.269
By the way, just because you see it on Twitter,
254
00:17:27.529 --> 00:17:28.430
I want to put this out there.
255
00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:29.369
We're talking about trades.
256
00:17:29.769 --> 00:17:35.410
Just because you see a hypothetical trade that somebody fucking
257
00:17:35.470 --> 00:17:42.299
makes doesn't mean the person, this is newsflash, Matt, Doesn't
258
00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:45.759
mean that the person that that person is involved in
259
00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:46.680
trade talks.
260
00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:49.710
There is no trade.
261
00:17:49.349 --> 00:17:52.990
Talks between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings trading
262
00:17:53.009 --> 00:17:56.829
Saquon Barkley to the Minnesota Vikings. There is no trade
263
00:17:56.890 --> 00:18:00.490
talks of the Eagles trading Jalen Hurts to the Minnesota Vikings.
264
00:18:02.410 --> 00:18:07.099
No, no, no. Just because they traded Cam Juergens does
265
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.109
not mean the Eagles are packing it in this season
266
00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:16.609
and trading everybody. So just because Johnny Minnesota puts it
267
00:18:16.690 --> 00:18:19.170
out there does not mean it has any inkling of
268
00:18:19.230 --> 00:18:23.380
being true. So people, we should know by now, there's
269
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:28.859
like four trusted sources for national NFL news. If it
270
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.579
does not come from one of them, you should know
271
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:40.079
it's just hearsay and speculation. Just like there was a
272
00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:44.799
tweet yesterday from some random Broncos fan account saying that
273
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.980
if Jeremiah Smith somehow fell to the second round, that
274
00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:56.109
Denver should draft him. And Jeff Schwartz retweeted it and said,
275
00:18:56.230 --> 00:19:00.210
I don't know what the hell you're smoking, but yes.
276
00:19:00.349 --> 00:19:04.279
Whatever he's on, whatever good stuff he's on, please just
277
00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:06.319
send it over your way because I would like to
278
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:06.960
feel that way.
279
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:07.930
Yes, me too.
280
00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:08.579
After a long day.
281
00:19:09.309 --> 00:19:14.869
Because, like, a guy commented on it and said, Jeremiah
282
00:19:14.930 --> 00:19:18.410
Smith could show up to the combine drunk with a gun,
283
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.980
and he would still go top five. And I was like, yes.
284
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:23.710
Like, yes.
285
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.220
This guy's not falling past.
286
00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:29.859
He's a generational player. Yeah, he's a generational player. You
287
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.940
put him in that fucking category of Jack. Of Jamar Chase,
288
00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:36.349
you put him in that category of Justin Jefferson.
289
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.069
He's a top 10 wide receiver right now. He was
290
00:19:39.130 --> 00:19:40.930
a top 10 wide receiver two years ago as a
291
00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:41.910
true freshman.
292
00:19:42.569 --> 00:19:46.549
Yeah, so he'll probably be like a top Fantastic. He'll
293
00:19:46.569 --> 00:19:48.710
be a top five wide receiver in the league.
294
00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:51.670
Not even. Yes, yes, yes.
295
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.859
And if not, he'll go down as one of the
296
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.400
biggest busts of all time. But if you draft that.
297
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.700
Kid, you better already have plans for that extension.
298
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.140
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
299
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.059
I'll tell you right now. I'll tell you right now,
300
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:16.230
I would trade the farm to get him. As currently constituted,
301
00:20:16.490 --> 00:20:20.369
I think that is a guy that is worth investing
302
00:20:20.410 --> 00:20:25.470
the draft capital up to get. But, hey, we've got
303
00:20:25.509 --> 00:20:28.230
a long way to go. Only in week five.
304
00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:29.450
Yes.
305
00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:32.680
We also have a lot more games to talk about
306
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.670
and bring those games up. So we did the Cowboys game.
307
00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:39.099
We also had the Bears beat the Jets 23-12.
308
00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:39.809
Yeah, my fucking.
309
00:20:39.829 --> 00:20:46.490
I don't know what the fuck's going on. I had
310
00:20:46.509 --> 00:20:50.829
the stats. Nothing's... I don't know what's fucking... Fuck Yahoo.
311
00:20:50.950 --> 00:20:53.549
I don't know. Can't even click on the player stats.
312
00:20:53.789 --> 00:20:57.789
I don't know.
313
00:20:57.910 --> 00:21:04.599
The Bears scoring drives, other than they had a Probably
314
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.039
close to the end of the half. But their scoring
315
00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:14.640
drives were 7-0-1. 15 plays, 7 minutes for a touchdown.
316
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:22.349
12 plays, 6 minutes for a field goal. 17 plays. Oh, wait.
317
00:21:22.430 --> 00:21:27.890
TTL time. Total time. 7-0-1. 15 plays, 7 minutes. They
318
00:21:27.930 --> 00:21:35.319
ran 17 plays in a minute 44. Oh, okay.
319
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:35.519
Yeah.
320
00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:41.869
That was 10 and a half. Um, 11 plays four
321
00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:45.789
and a half minutes, 11 plays, six minutes, a lot
322
00:21:45.829 --> 00:21:48.950
of long score, 11 plays, 11 plays. So the bears
323
00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:53.990
put some long drives together to score points. The jets
324
00:21:54.009 --> 00:21:58.299
hung around. Um, I mean, they get a late touchdown
325
00:21:58.339 --> 00:22:02.960
with 45 seconds left in the game. Um, to make
326
00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:07.640
it a due possession game. They were down 23-6 late
327
00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:11.509
in the fourth quarter. But the Jets kind of make
328
00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:16.190
you play a little ugly. They just, without Brees Hall,
329
00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:17.769
they're not going to be able to score a lot
330
00:22:17.809 --> 00:22:21.410
of touchdowns. I think that is ultimately the Jets' problem.
331
00:22:21.690 --> 00:22:24.019
The Bears are a good team, and they defended home turf.
332
00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:32.690
Yes. Next up, the Patriots come back. and come and
333
00:22:32.769 --> 00:22:34.730
beat the Buffalo Bills.
334
00:22:34.750 --> 00:22:35.690
29-26.
335
00:22:35.710 --> 00:22:41.950
Thank God Yahoo fucking finally works. Drake May, 269 yards,
336
00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:51.849
three touchdowns, one interception. Yeah, Patriots go 2-2. Buffalo goes
337
00:22:51.990 --> 00:22:52.430
to 3-1.
338
00:22:53.250 --> 00:22:58.720
So the Drake May is a bust. And the sky's
339
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:06.640
falling ends after three weeks. Yeah, hey, very good bounce
340
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.039
back game for him. He also led them in rushing
341
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:15.079
eight of tens for 54 yards. This was a big
342
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.940
win for them. Going on the road and beating Buffaloes
343
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.740
had like three straight home games, which to me is
344
00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:23.460
a little crazy.
345
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.160
How many threes?
346
00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:31.720
Yeah, they opened up in week two, and this week
347
00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:34.440
is the first road game since week one.
348
00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:36.410
Okay.
349
00:23:36.470 --> 00:23:39.569
But that's a big win for the Patriots. I know
350
00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:44.849
it's very early, but that would have dropped them to 1-3.
351
00:23:45.390 --> 00:23:48.329
The Bills would have been 4-0 and had that half-game
352
00:23:48.369 --> 00:23:52.930
advantage in the division. So, yes, although early, that is
353
00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:57.619
a big win. Division games early in this first six
354
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:02.769
weeks are big because you're still trying to figure out
355
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.970
what you are as a team, and you're trying to
356
00:24:07.009 --> 00:24:10.990
be 2-2 through the first four. So you don't want
357
00:24:11.009 --> 00:24:15.089
to just dig the division hole too much. So that's
358
00:24:15.130 --> 00:24:19.740
a big bounce-back win for the Patriots. Bills didn't play bad.
359
00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:22.559
I thought Drake May just, hey, he woke up and
360
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:24.910
stepped up. Made enough plays to win.
361
00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:26.869
Yes.
362
00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:35.960
The Jaguars beat the Bengals 22-17. This gets Jacksonville 3-1.
363
00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:43.200
The Bengals are 2-2. Brett Strange, seven catches, 96 yards
364
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.980
in this game.
365
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:51.440
He is the second. He's like the... Well, he is
366
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:57.059
their second primary target in that offense right now. Jacksonville's
367
00:24:57.099 --> 00:25:06.380
defense is playing very good football right now. They make
368
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.640
you play. They throw a lot at you, and they
369
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.250
make you play. Hey, you're going to have to drive
370
00:25:12.309 --> 00:25:17.410
the ball. The scoring drives for Cincinnati in this game.
371
00:25:18.329 --> 00:25:23.049
Field goal, 16 plays. for 47 yards. Third quarter, they
372
00:25:23.069 --> 00:25:27.089
get a touchdown, 15 plays, 62 yards. The fourth quarter,
373
00:25:27.109 --> 00:25:31.289
when they scored again to make it 22-17, 12 plays,
374
00:25:31.289 --> 00:25:36.009
66 yards. So they are, like what a lot of
375
00:25:36.190 --> 00:25:39.769
defenses do in modern NFL is they want you, they
376
00:25:39.829 --> 00:25:42.819
want the death by a thousand cuts. Because they think
377
00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:45.700
if you're, the longer we make you drive and the
378
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.579
more plays we make you commit and run, you're going
379
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.500
to make a mistake. That's Jacksonville's M.O. on defense. They
380
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.740
have a very good front four. They gave Cincinnati a
381
00:25:56.819 --> 00:26:04.950
lot of problems. And it also didn't help that Jamar
382
00:26:04.990 --> 00:26:07.930
Chase got hurt with a concussion and missed the rest
383
00:26:07.970 --> 00:26:09.309
of the game. I think he got hurt in the
384
00:26:09.349 --> 00:26:13.750
first half. But T. Higgins did go 16 targets, 11 catches,
385
00:26:13.750 --> 00:26:20.940
157 yards. They just– Cincinnati cannot run the ball. And
386
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.299
this is, again, another year where it's shaping up to
387
00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:31.369
be Joe Burr's going to have to throw a shit ton,
388
00:26:31.430 --> 00:26:33.250
take a lot of pressure, take a lot of hits.
389
00:26:33.289 --> 00:26:35.329
He got sacked twice, but he threw. He was 39
390
00:26:35.329 --> 00:26:37.190
of 54 for 428 yards. So the yard's great, but
391
00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:40.099
54 rushing attempts, and they only had 54 pass attempts
392
00:26:40.190 --> 00:26:52.220
and 15 runs.
393
00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:56.920
394
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.619
395
00:27:00.660 --> 00:27:03.549
396
00:27:03.589 --> 00:27:06.470
397
00:27:06.490 --> 00:27:09.430
Yeah, no.
398
00:27:09.630 --> 00:27:14.859
You're 100% right, man.
399
00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:17.380
Next up, we had the.
400
00:27:22.789 --> 00:27:24.309
All of a sudden, I don't know what the hell
401
00:27:24.329 --> 00:27:27.950
is going on here. The Giants beat the Cardinals 36-24.
402
00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:39.599
This fucking Giants team goes to 3-1. Yeah.
403
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.660
Isaiah likely 12 targets in this game, only seven catches.
404
00:27:46.089 --> 00:27:47.970
Yeah, he's their big receiving leader.
405
00:27:48.009 --> 00:27:51.589
Like, I... This Giants team is not fucking good. They're
406
00:27:51.609 --> 00:27:52.690
not good.
407
00:27:52.769 --> 00:27:55.589
If this is a better– the Cardinals aren't good.
408
00:27:56.589 --> 00:27:56.829
No.
409
00:27:57.490 --> 00:28:01.549
Like if the Cardinals are a better football– and that's
410
00:28:01.589 --> 00:28:05.049
the thing. Hey, hats off to the Giants. They haven't
411
00:28:05.089 --> 00:28:08.990
played anyone. Well, the one team they played, the Rams,
412
00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:14.859
they lost. But like Jameis Winston goes 18-29, 250, three touchdowns,
413
00:28:14.890 --> 00:28:17.839
two picks, sacked four times. And they ran the ball
414
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.500
28 times for 87 yards. If you play a good team,
415
00:28:21.539 --> 00:28:24.839
you're not... They're not winning that game. Their defense isn't
416
00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:30.069
great enough to carry them. Harville-Reach had a very good game. Yeah,
417
00:28:30.450 --> 00:28:35.670
I think. Right now, they are capitalizing on the fact
418
00:28:35.710 --> 00:28:38.569
that they're playing a weak schedule. And I think it's
419
00:28:38.630 --> 00:28:41.670
very tough for West Coast teams to come east and
420
00:28:41.710 --> 00:28:48.609
play at 1 o'clock. And... Like, the stats back that up.
421
00:28:49.009 --> 00:28:53.269
So this is, hey, Arizona was up 14-3 after the first,
422
00:28:53.289 --> 00:28:55.930
and then it just kind of fell off after that.
423
00:28:56.809 --> 00:28:59.910
And that's what's going to happen. Like, in these matchups
424
00:28:59.950 --> 00:29:07.359
between bad teams, I always, like, I know I picked Arizona,
425
00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:09.000
but you should favor the home team.
426
00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:18.380
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Hmm, what's going on over here?
427
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.059
I'm, like, having massive issues today with Yahoo. What's going
428
00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:26.880
on here? Ravens over the Titans 24-18. This was too close.
429
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.190
Well, Lamar Jackson didn't play in the second half.
430
00:29:30.750 --> 00:29:31.710
Yes.
431
00:29:32.630 --> 00:29:36.710
And the Titans do their thing where, well, the Ravens
432
00:29:36.730 --> 00:29:38.690
didn't score after the first half. They were up 24-7
433
00:29:38.690 --> 00:29:42.940
at the half. And in the second half, the Titans
434
00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:47.359
score three in the 30th, eight in the fourth. So
435
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:54.160
it makes it a little uglier. But the thing with
436
00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:57.680
the Ravens, I know they went with Huntley. He goes
437
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.279
eight and nine for 63 yards, but Lamar Jackson in
438
00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:04.940
the first half was 15-20 for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
439
00:30:06.410 --> 00:30:11.589
So they basically just tried to play keep away in
440
00:30:11.609 --> 00:30:15.869
the second half. And Tennessee made it a one-score game.
441
00:30:16.150 --> 00:30:19.869
But likely never in doubt. I didn't watch that game.
442
00:30:20.549 --> 00:30:28.640
But Baltimore and their effectiveness on offense, no shock, but
443
00:30:29.470 --> 00:30:33.289
significantly goes down if Lamar Jackson's not on the field.
444
00:30:35.109 --> 00:30:39.490
Blackers over the Bucs, 17-14. Anything on this one?
445
00:30:40.670 --> 00:30:43.819
No. Again, I know the Buccaneers are now 1-4, but
446
00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:48.380
both of these teams stink, and that's what you get.
447
00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:51.460
You get some defense, a couple nice plays, and both
448
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:52.779
teams struggling to move the ball.
449
00:30:55.119 --> 00:31:00.279
Vikings over the Dolphins, 15-10. Another... sloppy game.
450
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:04.369
Yeah. Like the, the Vikings defense isn't giving up points,
451
00:31:04.509 --> 00:31:10.630
but their offense isn't scoring points either. Um, I, I
452
00:31:10.710 --> 00:31:14.170
hate to say like the last two years, last two times,
453
00:31:14.430 --> 00:31:17.470
the Vikings have been good. They're a team. I don't like,
454
00:31:17.690 --> 00:31:21.559
I know, Hey, they're four. No, I don't think they're
455
00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:24.200
a good football team. Still. They're finding ways to win,
456
00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:28.119
which is great, but I don't think they've played a
457
00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:31.049
good team yet either. I think their best win right
458
00:31:31.089 --> 00:31:33.390
now is Green Bay, and I'll tell you right now,
459
00:31:33.410 --> 00:31:34.450
I don't think Green Bay is good.
460
00:31:35.289 --> 00:31:40.009
No. Chiefs over the Raiders, 30-27. Did you get a
461
00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:43.200
chance to watch this game? I was watching this game.
462
00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:45.759
I did watch this game. This game was very good,
463
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:51.500
very entertaining. I'm telling you right now, Patrick Mahomes is back.
464
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.720
He never fucking got hurt. It's fucking insane.
465
00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:57.309
Crazy that he.
466
00:31:59.650 --> 00:32:05.599
He tore his ACL in January, rehabbed, and through four games,
467
00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:08.700
he's played fantastic football.
468
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:13.160
It's wild. It's insane.
469
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:19.329
You've seen guys struggle and not play confidently. He is
470
00:32:19.390 --> 00:32:24.990
playing confidently. And guess what? God forbid Andy Reid. I'm
471
00:32:25.029 --> 00:32:27.329
not going to be shocked if he decides to change.
472
00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:32.839
but I think having Eric B enemy back is helping
473
00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:33.619
this offense.
474
00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.359
Absolutely.
475
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.900
And they are using Kenny Walker and he's been the
476
00:32:42.009 --> 00:32:46.609
best running back in football this year. And you are
477
00:32:46.670 --> 00:32:49.190
seeing there, they don't, they still don't have elite wide
478
00:32:49.210 --> 00:32:53.589
receivers and they're one of their deep threat. Well, I mean,
479
00:32:53.609 --> 00:32:57.450
they're all, they have three wide receivers that are the same, but, uh,
480
00:32:58.880 --> 00:32:59.759
Thornton got hurt.
481
00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:04.920
Yes, disgusting injury. Disgusting injury.
482
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.619
He breaks his foot, breaks his ankle. I don't know
483
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:12.039
what it was. But he was their down-the-field threat. They
484
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:18.960
used Xavier Worthy and Rice horizontally. But this starts to
485
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.299
work when you run the football and have a serious
486
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.279
running threat, and they're using Kenny Walker properly.
487
00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:27.519
Yeah.
488
00:33:29.170 --> 00:33:31.630
If they are one of the teams rumored in the
489
00:33:31.670 --> 00:33:35.049
Marvin Harrison deal, like, look the fuck out, the Chiefs
490
00:33:35.109 --> 00:33:40.549
are back. Because Spaggs has that defense playing well with
491
00:33:41.490 --> 00:33:48.200
a lot of different faces, and they're younger. Like, Mansour
492
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:52.200
Delane's been great for them so far. They still have
493
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.140
Chris Jones there, so they have some veterans on that
494
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.079
defensive side of the ball. But Spags is fantastic, and
495
00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:04.329
their ability to run the ball and that making life
496
00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:08.389
a little bit easier for Patrick Mahomes, they are a
497
00:34:08.610 --> 00:34:12.789
legit dangerous team in the AFC. Again, no shock, but.
498
00:34:12.809 --> 00:34:17.039
I remember when they drafted Delane, people.
499
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:21.800
Were like, oh, this is a... What is the pick?
500
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.699
A pick you didn't need to make... What the fuck
501
00:34:26.739 --> 00:34:28.980
is that called? There's like a word for it. When
502
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.360
there's a pick, like a luxury pick.
503
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:34.639
I don't know if that's the word. Okay. Like they
504
00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:36.159
were like, oh, that's a luxury pick.
505
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.920
But I think it was, I mean, I liked Terrell
506
00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:46.760
a little more than Delane. Yeah. But for how Spaggs
507
00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:49.489
plays defense and the fact that they traded Trent McDuffie,
508
00:34:51.250 --> 00:34:53.829
I think it's perfect because now you have him and
509
00:34:53.949 --> 00:34:59.599
Snead And Snead hasn't been– Snead, since he left Kansas
510
00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:01.929
City the first time, hasn't been as good as he was.
511
00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:09.190
But now you traded McDuffie, who's a fantastic corner, and
512
00:35:09.210 --> 00:35:14.219
now you have Delane to kind of supplement that opposite side,
513
00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:18.380
that opposite starting corner. And he can play the slot
514
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:22.519
a little bit, and he can blitz. That's a spags player.
515
00:35:24.710 --> 00:35:27.949
So I think it's a perfect fit. And it's helped
516
00:35:27.969 --> 00:35:30.530
their defense out. And I do want to give my
517
00:35:31.909 --> 00:35:35.829
little tip of the cat to the Raiders. Kirk Cousins,
518
00:35:37.170 --> 00:35:39.449
I've never been a big fan of his, but that
519
00:35:39.469 --> 00:35:46.030
dude is a baller. And Brock Bowers is stupid.
520
00:35:46.110 --> 00:35:46.949
Are you surprised with him?
521
00:35:48.389 --> 00:35:51.409
I did not. He looks like I'm watching that game
522
00:35:51.429 --> 00:35:58.000
and I'm sitting there going like, he looks healthier than
523
00:35:58.019 --> 00:36:02.050
he ever did in Atlanta. I know Atlanta, when they
524
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.789
signed him, he was coming off the Achilles injury. But
525
00:36:06.150 --> 00:36:12.130
even last year in Atlanta, he looked shot. And I
526
00:36:12.150 --> 00:36:14.510
don't know if this offense is a little quicker for him.
527
00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:20.500
But then again, this game against the Chiefs, he's scrambling hard.
528
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:23.559
He's leaving the pocket. He's keeping his eyes downfield. The
529
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:27.739
guys are working towards the ball. The Raiders are playing
530
00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:31.860
like a formidable football team, which I think is great
531
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:36.179
to see for that franchise. I don't think it holds up.
532
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:41.239
I think this might have started to show people like, hey, look,
533
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:48.000
the Raiders team is not there yet. No, but Cousins
534
00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:54.389
is a great signing because... Mendoza's learning from him. And
535
00:36:54.969 --> 00:37:01.170
he is kind of establishing confidence in a roster that
536
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:07.530
doesn't have supreme talent. And I think the Raiders are
537
00:37:07.610 --> 00:37:10.380
on the upward trajectory. Maybe not this year, but next
538
00:37:10.409 --> 00:37:13.320
year and the years to come. But the signings of
539
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:17.099
Kirk Cousins and N'Kobi Dean are going to be the
540
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.789
foundation changers for for the Raiders. And I think ultimately,
541
00:37:22.510 --> 00:37:25.130
like you're seeing guys play above their skill other than
542
00:37:25.170 --> 00:37:27.349
Brock Bowers. Like Brock Bowers is just that damn good.
543
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:30.900
But other than Brock Bowers, you were seeing guys play
544
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.280
above their normal skill level because I think there's one
545
00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:36.360
guy on each side of the ball to kind of
546
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:41.599
guide that ship and change the culture, which is a huge,
547
00:37:41.820 --> 00:37:45.159
huge thing when you are a franchise like the Raiders
548
00:37:45.179 --> 00:37:48.030
that's been asked since 2003.
549
00:37:48.030 --> 00:37:50.989
I'm hoping that one of these days soon that Schefter
550
00:37:51.050 --> 00:37:54.190
reports something very vague and he reports that Brock Bowers
551
00:37:54.210 --> 00:37:56.949
has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for a fifth-round pick.
552
00:37:57.869 --> 00:37:59.010
That would be great.
553
00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:07.300
Again, we'd be going nuts over Harry Roseman.
554
00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:11.400
Yes. Brock Bowers is probably the best tight end in
555
00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:16.940
football and probably a top-ten receiver in football. That dude is...
556
00:38:17.730 --> 00:38:18.449
Stupid good.
557
00:38:23.050 --> 00:38:26.559
Yeah. You're 100% right.
558
00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:31.380
49ers beat the Broncos 24-14. These Bronco fucking fans. I mean,
559
00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:35.440
the Bronco fans. These fucking Niner fans. And we talked
560
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:36.760
a little bit about it on Thursday.
561
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:39.340
These motherfuckers.
562
00:38:40.460 --> 00:38:43.280
They're bringing up EPA with Brock Purdy because Brock Purdy
563
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.800
leads EPA.
564
00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:48.900
And that's where I wanted to, like... I know that
565
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:53.800
you're not a... You're not a fucking fan. You're not
566
00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:55.699
a fan of fucking Shanahan.
567
00:38:56.300 --> 00:39:01.030
But that EPA thing, man, is really talked about so
568
00:39:01.150 --> 00:39:05.989
much more over this last, like, two years. And fucking, like,
569
00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:08.730
these people talk about it like they know.
570
00:39:08.769 --> 00:39:12.309
And then you, like... you see some people and it's like.
571
00:39:12.449 --> 00:39:16.230
Yeah, you don't know any, like, you don't like, I
572
00:39:16.250 --> 00:39:17.869
know we talked about it a little bit off air,
573
00:39:17.909 --> 00:39:20.590
but like to have that conversation, do you feel the
574
00:39:20.610 --> 00:39:23.820
same way about like people talking about EPA?
575
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:29.300
Yeah. So like three years ago, two years ago, it
576
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.480
was all, like, DVOA when you were talking defense and
577
00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:39.659
OVOA when you were talking offense. And last year, but
578
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:47.329
especially this year, you're really talking about EPA. And I
579
00:39:47.369 --> 00:39:51.190
get it. Like, San Francisco's offense right now. is the
580
00:39:52.590 --> 00:39:57.710
league leader in EPA per play, right? But you know
581
00:39:57.789 --> 00:40:09.880
what helps that? They've given up zero sacks and only 20. Oh,
582
00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:12.860
they have given up the second least amount of quarterback
583
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:19.190
pressures in the league. Atlanta is first with 27, and
584
00:40:19.269 --> 00:40:24.349
San Francisco is second with 29. Pressure percentage is the
585
00:40:24.469 --> 00:40:35.280
lowest in the league. 23.8%. Opponents are blitzing them. Seventh
586
00:40:35.570 --> 00:40:42.340
lowest in the league. They also run... They're only 25%
587
00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:44.920
play action, which is crazy. But when you don't give
588
00:40:45.019 --> 00:40:51.329
up sacks... And you are 11th in time to throw.
589
00:40:52.030 --> 00:40:54.449
And you haven't given up sacks. And your quarterback's been
590
00:40:54.530 --> 00:40:57.829
pressured the second least. Guess what's going to look good?
591
00:40:58.289 --> 00:41:03.769
Your offense. What a fucking shock. What a fucking shock.
592
00:41:05.730 --> 00:41:10.809
And to me, that's the biggest thing. Like, EPA's great.
593
00:41:12.690 --> 00:41:16.710
If you want to look at it. I don't. Dude.
594
00:41:19.170 --> 00:41:23.449
This is my problem with advanced analytics. We want to
595
00:41:23.550 --> 00:41:24.829
grade everything by.
596
00:41:25.510 --> 00:41:30.769
I really like when you talk about advanced analytics.
597
00:41:30.849 --> 00:41:38.760
EPA is definitely advanced analytics. To me, I used to
598
00:41:38.780 --> 00:41:42.780
get into arguments on Reddit when it comes to baseball
599
00:41:42.820 --> 00:41:48.019
because they would talk about WRC and all these advanced analytics.
600
00:41:48.550 --> 00:41:51.449
And when you talk to nerds about basketball, they're talking
601
00:41:51.469 --> 00:41:58.980
about VORP and whatnot. So I get the premise of EPA.
602
00:41:59.820 --> 00:42:03.099
Every play has an impact on what the projection of
603
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:07.880
points for that drive is supposed to be. But we
604
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.139
look at these things in a vacuum and just go like, oh,
605
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:16.320
look at that. That's the highest EPA. That's great. Yes.
606
00:42:16.619 --> 00:42:20.130
Why their EPA is so high. is because they're getting
607
00:42:20.469 --> 00:42:25.349
elite pass protection right now. And when your quarterback isn't
608
00:42:25.389 --> 00:42:31.750
getting pressured, isn't getting sacked, isn't getting hit, guess what's
609
00:42:31.789 --> 00:42:34.090
going to happen? You're going to be able to pass
610
00:42:34.110 --> 00:42:37.119
the ball, and your EPA is going to be soaring
611
00:42:37.219 --> 00:42:41.960
off the charts. So instead of, oh, it's Brock Purdy,
612
00:42:42.019 --> 00:42:44.539
it's this dude, their offensive line so far through the
613
00:42:44.579 --> 00:42:49.559
first four weeks is dominating. That's why... They are so good,
614
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:55.039
especially through the air. And it also helps that they're
615
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:56.760
fourth in the league in rushing right now.
616
00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:00.139
Yeah.
617
00:43:00.659 --> 00:43:06.360
They're averaging 137 yards per game. Their success rate's 47%. So, yes,
618
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:11.780
their offensive line is playing fantastic football right now, and
619
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.579
that is why their offense is humming so much. If
620
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.559
you get pressure on the quarterback and you start hitting
621
00:43:16.579 --> 00:43:19.940
the quarterback, That stuff's going to start to decrease. So
622
00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:21.139
I don't know if they're going to be able to
623
00:43:21.179 --> 00:43:28.320
maintain this. They've had a couple easier opponents in there. But, hey,
624
00:43:28.380 --> 00:43:33.699
they're doing a very good job. But, like, hey, if
625
00:43:33.739 --> 00:43:38.960
your offensive line blocks and wins, guess what? Your EPA
626
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.059
is going to start to flourish. So let's just go, like, hey,
627
00:43:42.099 --> 00:43:43.980
their offensive line is playing great ball right now.
628
00:43:47.630 --> 00:43:52.340
Next up was the Seahawks, 30-23 over the Chargers. The
629
00:43:52.429 --> 00:43:57.920
Chargers fall to 0-4. Is the fucking Chargers team going
630
00:43:57.940 --> 00:43:58.480
to get a victory?
631
00:43:58.500 --> 00:44:10.829
I'm winning this week, I think. Yeah. They're bad, though. They...
632
00:44:10.469 --> 00:44:15.070
And look, guess what? It's more of the same. So
633
00:44:15.110 --> 00:44:20.260
they have... They have Nerd Boy... But everything is more
634
00:44:20.300 --> 00:44:25.429
of the same. Because look at their pressure. They've given
635
00:44:25.610 --> 00:44:30.809
up 64 pressures. They have a 9.1% sack rate. Quarterback
636
00:44:30.849 --> 00:44:36.250
pressure percentage is 44. They're getting blitzed 23% of the time.
637
00:44:37.449 --> 00:44:39.840
Herbert only has two and a half seconds to throw.
638
00:44:40.070 --> 00:44:48.579
That is fourth lowest in the league. So it's more
639
00:44:48.619 --> 00:44:51.400
of the same. They tried to address the offensive line,
640
00:44:51.889 --> 00:44:58.809
and it's not working. They're 10th in the league in
641
00:44:58.869 --> 00:45:06.480
rushing right now, which, okay, that's okay. But I think
642
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:11.119
we're going to look at the Chargers, and it's what
643
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:15.070
we've talked about within the last, like, three years. Their
644
00:45:15.110 --> 00:45:21.989
roster construction, they have ignored wide receiver other than Ladd McConkie.
645
00:45:22.010 --> 00:45:26.710
And we just watched it a week ago. When you're
646
00:45:26.789 --> 00:45:30.110
running these wide receivers that can't get open or the
647
00:45:30.130 --> 00:45:34.110
quarterback can't rely on, you're not able to pass the
648
00:45:34.150 --> 00:45:40.849
ball effectively and consistently. And you get bad quarterback play.
649
00:45:43.190 --> 00:45:46.530
You can't protect and you don't have weapons for the
650
00:45:46.610 --> 00:45:50.710
quarterback that the quarterback can rely on. Your passing offense
651
00:45:51.170 --> 00:45:54.070
is not going to be consistent or do anything great.
652
00:45:55.510 --> 00:45:58.400
And that's been the Chargers MO for three years now.
653
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.320
You know what? They should be going after Marvin Harrison.
654
00:46:05.500 --> 00:46:08.679
And if I'm a Chargers fan and wherever the hell
655
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:13.389
he ends up. But if there's not a the Chargers
656
00:46:13.469 --> 00:46:17.969
were this close to landing Marvin Harrison or the Chargers
657
00:46:17.989 --> 00:46:23.070
were really actively pursuing Marvin Harrison Jr., I would be
658
00:46:23.329 --> 00:46:27.769
fucking pissed at the front office. Because your wide receiving
659
00:46:27.829 --> 00:46:33.469
quarter has sucked for three years, four years, five years,
660
00:46:35.750 --> 00:46:38.949
and you have not done a damn thing to try
661
00:46:39.010 --> 00:46:39.630
to fix it.
662
00:46:41.949 --> 00:46:46.030
They're worse than Baltimore when it comes to the fucking, like,
663
00:46:46.670 --> 00:46:48.150
I used to get on Baltimore about that.
664
00:46:48.449 --> 00:46:51.159
Yes. And, yeah, hey. They're way worse.
665
00:46:51.340 --> 00:46:56.030
Baltimore's really got Zay Flowers and Bateman and they're trying, well, dude,
666
00:46:56.099 --> 00:46:59.199
it sucks that Kobe Lane got hurt. But, like, they
667
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.760
drafted a couple different bodied receivers this past year to
668
00:47:02.780 --> 00:47:09.139
try to add some difference and some variety to the
669
00:47:09.179 --> 00:47:12.119
receiving corps. We've talked about it at the Green Bay.
670
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:17.480
Everyone's the same. This charge is receiving quarters. Ladd McConkie,
671
00:47:17.539 --> 00:47:21.139
who is your, I hate to say, he is your, like,
672
00:47:22.179 --> 00:47:26.710
Ladd McConkie would thrive with Brady and Peyton Manning. Those
673
00:47:26.730 --> 00:47:33.829
guys took those prototypical white slot receivers and found ways
674
00:47:33.949 --> 00:47:36.769
to get them into space, let them get deep shots
675
00:47:36.809 --> 00:47:41.800
down the field from time to time. McConkie's good. So
676
00:47:41.820 --> 00:47:44.030
they go, we have this guy, now let's just put
677
00:47:44.110 --> 00:47:48.070
speed around him. With Quentin Johnson and everything like that.
678
00:47:48.110 --> 00:47:51.429
But those guys can't run routes and they have no hands.
679
00:47:53.550 --> 00:47:58.420
And guess what? The NFL's not a track meet. Defenses
680
00:47:58.460 --> 00:48:02.739
sit in two high safeties, take all the deep shit away,
681
00:48:02.860 --> 00:48:05.820
and you rarely get one-on-one opportunities.
682
00:48:07.590 --> 00:48:10.469
They have a receiving core.
683
00:48:11.050 --> 00:48:12.829
You might get it two or three times a game.
684
00:48:13.449 --> 00:48:16.789
They have a receiving core that the Kansas City Chiefs
685
00:48:16.809 --> 00:48:21.309
won their first two Super Bowls with. Where it was
686
00:48:21.349 --> 00:48:24.269
Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill trying to take the top
687
00:48:24.309 --> 00:48:28.590
off the defense. And then guess what? It's been 10
688
00:48:28.590 --> 00:48:33.579
years since that worked. And the Chargers front office is
689
00:48:33.619 --> 00:48:35.800
sitting here going, oh, it'll work, it'll work, it'll work.
690
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:36.840
No.
691
00:48:38.190 --> 00:48:40.429
You don't have a great tight end option. I'm sorry,
692
00:48:40.469 --> 00:48:42.250
Rhonda Gadsden had a nice year last year.
693
00:48:42.269 --> 00:48:43.590
He's not that great.
694
00:48:44.550 --> 00:48:46.860
He's not that great. Your offensive line can't block him.
695
00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:48.320
You don't have wide receivers.
696
00:48:49.059 --> 00:48:50.739
They still think they have Antonio Gates.
697
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:58.699
Yes. And, like, it's, dude, half of these teams' problems
698
00:48:58.760 --> 00:48:59.900
is roster construction.
699
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:03.619
Yeah, it's so, dude, it's so.
700
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:07.030
I don't know what these GMs think. I mean, hey.
701
00:49:08.219 --> 00:49:10.829
We'll call Howie out for it.
702
00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:12.570
We talked about this yesterday off air.
703
00:49:12.630 --> 00:49:16.769
Like, they get politic into these spots and then there's,
704
00:49:16.789 --> 00:49:22.309
there's no fucking like, there's no room for like people
705
00:49:22.369 --> 00:49:23.829
to advance. No.
706
00:49:24.570 --> 00:49:27.210
Unless you become like one of them.
707
00:49:27.230 --> 00:49:32.179
And it's like, yeah, you're not like, you're not, you're
708
00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:35.360
not bringing new minds.
709
00:49:34.940 --> 00:49:38.780
To the table that way. You're just, you're continuing to
710
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:39.239
kind of.
711
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:48.550
Be, stagnant and you're continuing to be comfortable with what
712
00:49:48.590 --> 00:49:52.530
you're doing as an organization yep and it's like well
713
00:49:52.550 --> 00:49:57.780
that's not that's not the long-term answer it's an answer
714
00:49:57.820 --> 00:50:01.519
because you like the people you're working with not like
715
00:50:01.739 --> 00:50:09.619
you you're afraid to make a jump into the the
716
00:50:09.699 --> 00:50:11.960
next era of your football team.
717
00:50:12.340 --> 00:50:12.519
Yep.
718
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:14.119
If that makes any sense.
719
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:18.750
Like, I think some of these teams, like, you've seen Philly, like,
720
00:50:20.409 --> 00:50:23.829
you see teams, we talk about teams trying new things
721
00:50:23.889 --> 00:50:24.869
and doing different things.
722
00:50:26.010 --> 00:50:28.349
I've always said the Eagles have been last to the party.
723
00:50:28.469 --> 00:50:31.130
They want to wait until all the kinks are fucking,
724
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:35.239
are done first.
725
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:38.260
They don't want to be the ones that control that.
726
00:50:38.769 --> 00:50:41.010
They want somebody else to be– they want other people
727
00:50:41.050 --> 00:50:43.719
to make the mistakes, and then they want to be
728
00:50:43.780 --> 00:50:45.960
able to say, hey, like, this is how they fixed
729
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:46.519
that mistake.
730
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:48.079
Okay, we'll do that next time.
731
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.030
And the Chargers just– I'm trying to look through their
732
00:50:57.050 --> 00:51:03.130
draft this year. Brennan Thompson, another just, like, short speed guy.
733
00:51:04.340 --> 00:51:12.610
That– Their, like, wide receiver room is a Madden roster.
734
00:51:15.250 --> 00:51:22.889
It's not an NFL wide receiver room. That's all it is.
735
00:51:22.909 --> 00:51:33.409
That's all it is. Like, they drafted, like, okay, they
736
00:51:33.449 --> 00:51:34.940
go Akeem Mazzador in round one.
737
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:36.099
Yeah.
738
00:51:37.090 --> 00:51:42.070
Okay. I don't hate that pick. But, like, Casey Conception
739
00:51:42.250 --> 00:51:47.050
was there. Like, he would have fit in nice. Nice
740
00:51:47.070 --> 00:51:50.809
little space eater. Especially in this offense where you have
741
00:51:50.849 --> 00:51:56.139
Nerd Boy. I don't know. Yes, they have a mad
742
00:51:56.199 --> 00:52:00.500
in wide receiver room. And that doesn't play well into
743
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:02.360
actual NFL football.
744
00:52:04.019 --> 00:52:04.730
No, not at all.
745
00:52:09.670 --> 00:52:16.739
I really, yeah, I want to see what they do
746
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:21.300
this coming offseason. I know it's early, but it's this season.
747
00:52:21.469 --> 00:52:28.750
But moving on, we have a few more games. Getting
748
00:52:28.789 --> 00:52:30.130
into some really good conversation, though.
749
00:52:30.150 --> 00:52:35.909
So, Panthers over the line, Pam and Matt. I am
750
00:52:35.949 --> 00:52:40.010
saying this right. The Panthers beat the Lions.
751
00:52:40.010 --> 00:52:51.440
32 to 26 in Carolina. What in the blue hell
752
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:56.500
is that Detroit Lions defense doing? And if you were
753
00:52:56.539 --> 00:52:59.090
the Lions, would you fire Kelvin Shepard?
754
00:52:59.110 --> 00:53:07.059
I would think about it. Um, I don't even necessarily
755
00:53:07.099 --> 00:53:08.039
know if it's his fault.
756
00:53:10.059 --> 00:53:11.880
He's taking a lot of slack. He's taking a lot
757
00:53:11.940 --> 00:53:12.340
of shit.
758
00:53:13.489 --> 00:53:18.570
Dude, right now they're starting Christian Isian at corner. I've
759
00:53:18.610 --> 00:53:22.530
never been a big Christian Isian guy. Um, former Tampa
760
00:53:22.550 --> 00:53:28.690
Bay Buccaneer. Look, they hit on McNeil. They hit on
761
00:53:28.730 --> 00:53:40.170
Jack Campbell. They hit on, obviously, um, Aiden Hutchinson. They
762
00:53:40.210 --> 00:53:43.710
don't have anything else. They have Aleem McNeil, Aiden Hutchinson,
763
00:53:44.409 --> 00:53:54.289
Jack Campbell, and... Dion Pranch is hurt. Or Brian Pranch
764
00:53:54.349 --> 00:53:58.250
is hurt. Dion Pranch. That's a throwback. They don't have
765
00:53:58.309 --> 00:54:03.550
anything else. That's all they have. Ennis Raikstraw is not good.
766
00:54:03.610 --> 00:54:09.900
Malcolm Rodriguez is an okay linebacker. They don't have anything else.
767
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:14.280
And they hit that one draft. They go Jameer Gibbs.
768
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:20.179
They get Campbell. Everything's fine. They haven't hit on defense
769
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:24.840
since Branch. I think Branch was the year after. Yeah.
770
00:54:26.909 --> 00:54:34.050
And Shepard's going to be the fall guy. But that's
771
00:54:34.110 --> 00:54:40.590
a problem. And I get they have offensive weapons, too. But, dude,
772
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:48.760
they're up. It was tie game at halftime. They got
773
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.239
outscored by 10 in the third quarter, 13-3. But it's
774
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.099
a one-possession game. Let me just look at the touchdowns here.
775
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:55.730
So it was 32-19. It was 29-19. 19-22.
776
00:54:55.719 --> 00:55:09.400
So their defense can't get stops. But these are... Look,
777
00:55:09.420 --> 00:55:15.460
you have Jameer Gibbs. He gets 15 rushing attempts. And
778
00:55:16.179 --> 00:55:21.820
you throw the ball 52 times. Golf was 32 of 52.
779
00:55:22.739 --> 00:55:26.239
You have Jameer Gibbs. I get... Hey, Carolina did a
780
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.920
good job. Three yards per carry. Gibbs was 15 for
781
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:33.429
46 in the touchdown. And his long was only 13 yards.
782
00:55:35.389 --> 00:55:35.590
But.
783
00:55:37.059 --> 00:55:44.139
You have to be balanced. And you see in Cincinnati, Detroit,
784
00:55:44.820 --> 00:55:50.110
some of these teams just get so pass heavy that
785
00:55:50.630 --> 00:55:55.730
you kind of take yourself out of the game. Especially
786
00:55:55.750 --> 00:55:59.690
when you can't get stuff. Help your defense out. Take
787
00:55:59.730 --> 00:56:05.179
some time off the clock. If my defense sucks, think
788
00:56:05.219 --> 00:56:07.559
of it the same way. Tampa Bay went into the
789
00:56:07.619 --> 00:56:11.119
Thursday night game going, Dallas' offense is explosive, so what
790
00:56:11.139 --> 00:56:15.079
do we do? We limit their possessions. Let's play time
791
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:19.880
of possession. Let's try to put longer drives together. If
792
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:23.900
my defense sucks, how do I help them out as
793
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:29.440
an offense? Obviously scoring touchdowns, but put some drives together
794
00:56:29.460 --> 00:56:30.820
and take some time off the clock.
795
00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:32.000
Yeah.
796
00:56:33.539 --> 00:56:37.690
If your defense, and it's why... It's why, what have
797
00:56:37.730 --> 00:56:40.750
we seen like so far this season with the Eagles defense?
798
00:56:41.809 --> 00:56:45.369
The fourth quarter, they start to wear down. Why? Yeah.
799
00:56:45.389 --> 00:56:47.650
Because once the second half starts and once the third
800
00:56:47.710 --> 00:56:50.150
quarter starts, offense is three and out, three and out,
801
00:56:50.190 --> 00:56:51.570
three and out, three and out, three and out.
802
00:56:52.670 --> 00:56:52.789
Yeah.
803
00:56:53.210 --> 00:56:56.639
And when your defense, yes, halves are 30 minutes, but
804
00:56:56.659 --> 00:56:58.719
when your defense is on the field for 20 or
805
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:03.480
30 minutes, you're going to get tired and you're going
806
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:08.909
to give up big plays. And I think that is
807
00:57:08.989 --> 00:57:11.190
ultimately one of the biggest things. And these teams don't
808
00:57:11.269 --> 00:57:16.050
fucking care about it. But I have to hear how
809
00:57:16.090 --> 00:57:20.289
good of a coach Dan Campbell is. Week in and
810
00:57:20.309 --> 00:57:24.989
week out. And they were 4-12 on third down. That's
811
00:57:25.030 --> 00:57:25.670
pretty horrible.
812
00:57:27.510 --> 00:57:28.909
But Dan Campbell's a great head coach.
813
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:30.619
Yeah, he's a great head coach.
814
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:34.420
But Nick Sirianni is a horrible head coach.
815
00:57:35.309 --> 00:57:40.449
Yeah, and he's fucking terrible. Fire him. Get rid of him.
816
00:57:40.469 --> 00:57:43.309
Put him in outer space. He's terrible.
817
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:51.500
Let Howie hire a fifth head coach. Can't wait for
818
00:57:51.539 --> 00:57:53.980
them to eventually move on from Nick Sirianni.
819
00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:54.579
That's right.
820
00:57:55.619 --> 00:57:57.409
I'm going to hold you to that time when you
821
00:57:57.469 --> 00:58:00.070
said that you would lose your shit if Howie gets
822
00:58:00.090 --> 00:58:01.789
to hire a fifth head coach.
823
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:06.219
I know we have one more game to talk about,
824
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.820
so you know what? I'll save that. I'll save that
825
00:58:08.860 --> 00:58:10.139
for when we get into this.
826
00:58:10.420 --> 00:58:15.010
Discussion with the Jags. Yes.
827
00:58:16.989 --> 00:58:20.869
And the Falcons beat the shit out of the New
828
00:58:20.929 --> 00:58:27.659
Orleans Saints 45-24. They had five rushing touchdowns.
829
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:34.300
Bijan had two. Brian Robinson Jr. had three. Oh, and
830
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:37.409
then they had a passing touchdown for Michael Penix. Two.
831
00:58:38.349 --> 00:58:39.269
Johan Dotson.
832
00:58:40.170 --> 00:58:43.230
Eagles Hall of Famer. Johan Dotson.
833
00:58:44.630 --> 00:58:48.590
They averaged five, six yards per carry on the ground.
834
00:58:49.300 --> 00:58:52.340
Any former player, we're just going to start calling them
835
00:58:52.460 --> 00:58:53.519
Hall of Famers.
836
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:59.179
This roster is amazing. Johan Dotson. Eagles Hall of Famer.
837
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:03.179
She just fucking retired from Jersey already.
838
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:04.599
Oh, yes.
839
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:10.639
Yes. Atlanta's defense has played some very good football so
840
00:59:10.659 --> 00:59:15.440
far this year. Their offensive line and their run game
841
00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:18.380
is spectacular.
842
00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:23.710
Ridiculous. Average six yards per carry in this game.
843
00:59:24.550 --> 00:59:27.869
New Orleans doesn't have a defense and they don't have
844
00:59:27.889 --> 00:59:31.550
a run game, so you're forced You forced New Orleans
845
00:59:31.590 --> 00:59:34.739
to have to throw the ball, and they just did
846
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:38.400
not have enough. Like, dude, Penix is doing a– see,
847
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:41.559
this is why I was so pissed off at them
848
00:59:41.579 --> 00:59:47.179
when they signed Tua. Tua does nothing for you. He sucks.
849
00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:50.409
He sucks. And I know I kind of am a
850
00:59:50.409 --> 00:59:51.329
little bit– Let me know how you.
851
00:59:51.250 --> 00:59:52.409
Really feel about him, Matt.
852
00:59:52.510 --> 00:59:54.010
He sucks.
853
00:59:55.449 --> 00:59:55.590
Okay.
854
00:59:56.050 --> 00:59:58.110
And I know I'm a little bit of a Penix guy.
855
00:59:59.260 --> 01:00:01.710
But you see that they can already run the ball,
856
01:00:01.750 --> 01:00:06.889
but Penix can actually throw the ball. He's got a
857
01:00:06.889 --> 01:00:09.650
little arm strength. He can throw it downfield. He can
858
01:00:09.690 --> 01:00:13.530
stretch the defense out a little bit. He's mobile enough.
859
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:22.659
I don't know. I don't know why they ever went
860
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:25.800
into it going like, Tua's going to be our starter. Like, yes,
861
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:29.340
Penix was hurt. coming off a rehab from the ACL injury,
862
01:00:29.380 --> 01:00:36.800
but like... If Tua's starting, they're not winning these games
863
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:40.849
because Tua can't... You would be allowed to just key
864
01:00:40.989 --> 01:00:45.449
in on the run. And I know Bijan's fantastic. But
865
01:00:45.469 --> 01:00:51.849
when you have no threat of passing, defenses will stop
866
01:00:51.869 --> 01:00:58.800
the run. Panics will... defenses to not be able to
867
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:03.719
just stack the box and focus on stopping Robinson and
868
01:01:03.739 --> 01:01:08.139
Robinson because Penix will beat you. He's good enough to
869
01:01:08.179 --> 01:01:11.440
do that. And you've seen over the last three weeks
870
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:15.630
since Penix got into the starting lineup, they actually have
871
01:01:15.670 --> 01:01:21.429
a passing attack now. Drake London's viable. Pitts might eventually
872
01:01:21.469 --> 01:01:22.989
wake up. I know he had three for 47. They
873
01:01:23.230 --> 01:01:31.139
benched him. Yeah, Pitts isn't good, but he's due for
874
01:01:31.179 --> 01:01:34.550
a 100-yard, two-touchdown game in the next month or two.
875
01:01:34.570 --> 01:01:40.710
That's what he does. But Penix being the quarterback actually
876
01:01:41.710 --> 01:01:44.510
gives defenses like, oh, hey, we have to defend the pass,
877
01:01:44.590 --> 01:01:48.639
and we can't just put nine guys in the box. Yeah.
878
01:01:48.659 --> 01:01:58.329
Yeah. That was your week four.
879
01:01:58.349 --> 01:02:00.929
That was your week four recap.
880
01:02:01.789 --> 01:02:06.550
And now we got week five. We did the Eagles. No,
881
01:02:06.570 --> 01:02:09.750
we did the Eagles. We did the Cowboys Bucks earlier.
882
01:02:10.630 --> 01:02:15.199
And now we go into Eagles and the Jags live
883
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:21.920
in London, 9.30 in the morning. Matt, you said you
884
01:02:21.940 --> 01:02:27.059
wanted to kind of... Get into something. So maybe lead
885
01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:30.800
with that, unless you want to put that somewhere else.
886
01:02:32.539 --> 01:02:32.780
Yeah.
887
01:02:32.900 --> 01:02:36.070
Obviously, this week for the Eagles has been a little wild.
888
01:02:36.429 --> 01:02:41.650
You have Lane Johnson retiring. You trade Cam Juergens. I
889
01:02:41.949 --> 01:02:48.219
was listening to PHLY's pod yesterday, and they're talking about
890
01:02:48.570 --> 01:02:55.199
roster constructions. And, oh, and they released Andy Dalton yesterday.
891
01:02:55.679 --> 01:03:01.050
But they're talking about roster construction. They don't, like, and
892
01:03:01.929 --> 01:03:07.710
Denise Settleman was talking about how he and this franchise
893
01:03:07.730 --> 01:03:13.639
has prided themselves on the trenches being the, like, anchors
894
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:14.360
of the team.
895
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:15.900
Yeah.
896
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:24.949
I think the defensive line... The talent is there. It's
897
01:03:24.989 --> 01:03:30.980
just not happening right now. And I do think if
898
01:03:31.019 --> 01:03:35.019
Jonathan Grenard can stay healthy, I do think you will
899
01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:41.130
start to see this pressure rate start to get home.
900
01:03:42.349 --> 01:03:49.159
Because the Eagles are getting pressures. They're average pressures. They're average.
901
01:03:49.179 --> 01:03:53.440
They're 35, they're 36% pressure rate. They have 54 quarterback pressures.
902
01:03:53.460 --> 01:03:59.219
They're just not, they're not getting home. And I do
903
01:03:59.380 --> 01:04:03.650
think that will be able, I think if Grenard can
904
01:04:03.690 --> 01:04:06.130
stay healthy, that will change and you will start to
905
01:04:06.190 --> 01:04:10.849
see this defense start to get consistent pressure on the
906
01:04:10.909 --> 01:04:15.239
quarterback and whatnot, and I think that will improve. I
907
01:04:15.340 --> 01:04:19.230
do think, though... Roster construction of this offensive line and
908
01:04:19.250 --> 01:04:21.610
what they bring in on game day has been a problem.
909
01:04:22.269 --> 01:04:24.639
And it's what we've talked about on air and off air.
910
01:04:25.389 --> 01:04:33.760
But they thought... They built a great offensive line.
911
01:04:34.940 --> 01:04:35.219
Yeah.
912
01:04:36.579 --> 01:04:42.579
But we have sat there talking about how, especially Landon
913
01:04:43.059 --> 01:04:47.119
and Cam... after the playoff run, after the Super Bowl win,
914
01:04:47.780 --> 01:04:53.480
were so banged up. And they have not invested. Markel
915
01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:56.059
Bell being a third-round pick is the highest they've spent
916
01:04:56.679 --> 01:05:00.269
on an offensive lineman in the draft since Cam Juergens.
917
01:05:00.289 --> 01:05:02.369
Cam Juergens was a second-round pick, but that was like
918
01:05:02.409 --> 01:05:06.110
a year. You knew Kelsey had one year left. And
919
01:05:06.130 --> 01:05:07.429
Kelsey told them to pick him.
920
01:05:08.309 --> 01:05:08.610
Yes.
921
01:05:08.849 --> 01:05:14.909
But you cannot continue anywhere not... Proud of your offensive line.
922
01:05:15.570 --> 01:05:18.849
No matter who your fucking offensive line coach is.
923
01:05:19.769 --> 01:05:20.590
Oh boy, here we go.
924
01:05:20.590 --> 01:05:24.199
When you just draft fifth, sixth, and seventh round guys
925
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:30.760
and steal a guy from a practice squad here and there. So,
926
01:05:30.780 --> 01:05:34.059
it kind of makes sense for two years why this
927
01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:39.440
offensive line sucked. Because it was, I already did my
928
01:05:39.500 --> 01:05:41.780
job and I built this line and it won us
929
01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:47.889
a Super Bowl. And much like it was in 2018,
930
01:05:47.889 --> 01:05:53.150
where I think Howie smelled himself. And in this league,
931
01:05:54.030 --> 01:06:02.099
with so many offenses running a Shanahan family system, you
932
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:08.119
want to do this, but you've ignored offensive line for
933
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:14.349
three years. And you... didn't invest heavily in the tight
934
01:06:14.429 --> 01:06:19.210
end room. And now we're wondering why we're going to
935
01:06:19.250 --> 01:06:23.170
more three wide receiver sets and why this offense doesn't
936
01:06:23.230 --> 01:06:27.900
look and, oh, Mannion versus Sirianni and this. They don't
937
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:31.719
have the roster to run the scheme that they want
938
01:06:31.739 --> 01:06:39.079
to run. And I think this is an awakening for them.
939
01:06:39.099 --> 01:06:42.329
I hope you're right. I hope you're right.
940
01:06:42.510 --> 01:06:45.920
It might luck out. It might luck out. I like
941
01:06:45.980 --> 01:06:48.739
Willie Lampkin. I think Drew Kendall's played good. I know
942
01:06:48.780 --> 01:06:54.619
he's out this week. But younger, fresh, more athletic offensive
943
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:58.869
linemen for this scheme might save the season.
944
01:07:00.909 --> 01:07:02.690
Yeah, I have to see it. I have to see
945
01:07:02.710 --> 01:07:03.170
what happens.
946
01:07:03.889 --> 01:07:08.710
But if it doesn't work out, I really do think
947
01:07:08.750 --> 01:07:11.610
we need to point the finger and go, you cannot–
948
01:07:12.179 --> 01:07:17.079
Andy Reid would draft offensive linemen second round, third round,
949
01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:22.300
fourth round every single year. And the Eagles offensive line,
950
01:07:22.340 --> 01:07:26.159
whether they had injuries or not, was everyone a hit? No.
951
01:07:26.909 --> 01:07:31.170
But they had depth. And I do think this offensive
952
01:07:31.190 --> 01:07:33.190
line is deeper than it's been the last two years.
953
01:07:34.889 --> 01:07:38.849
But we knew for three, four years that Lane Johnson
954
01:07:38.889 --> 01:07:47.420
was getting ready to retire. We knew last year that
955
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:53.179
Landon Dickerson and Cam Juergens were injured, and they ignored it.
956
01:07:53.980 --> 01:07:56.699
They ignored it. Both of those guys.
957
01:07:57.260 --> 01:07:58.500
Disservice. Disservice.
958
01:07:58.539 --> 01:08:03.579
It's a disservice to that offense. It's a disservice to
959
01:08:03.619 --> 01:08:06.340
that team. It's a disservice to Nick. It's a disservice
960
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:09.659
to Jalen. It's a disservice to Saquon Barkley. It's a
961
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:15.829
disservice to Vic Fangio. They ignored the offensive line for, like,
962
01:08:15.909 --> 01:08:19.140
the last three or four years. And last year it
963
01:08:19.180 --> 01:08:21.260
bit them, and they didn't learn from it.
964
01:08:23.140 --> 01:08:27.659
Yeah. It's frustrating.
965
01:08:28.300 --> 01:08:31.510
It's very frustrating. And I get you needed, you were
966
01:08:31.550 --> 01:08:33.630
going to need a wide receiver because you were going
967
01:08:33.670 --> 01:08:38.489
to trade A.J. Brown. Yeah. But you had offensive linemen. Like,
968
01:08:38.510 --> 01:08:41.729
they had Max Ehanachor fall in their lap.
969
01:08:42.979 --> 01:08:43.859
When they didn't take him.
970
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:46.880
No, when they traded up for Mekhi Lemon.
971
01:08:46.899 --> 01:08:48.399
Yeah.
972
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:49.840
And Max could.
973
01:08:49.699 --> 01:08:53.149
Have stored it in a car. I don't know.
974
01:08:53.170 --> 01:09:00.659
I don't know. That's like a fucking like you need both.
975
01:09:00.859 --> 01:09:02.100
You knew you needed both.
976
01:09:02.739 --> 01:09:03.060
Yes.
977
01:09:03.220 --> 01:09:04.420
You needed a tackle.
978
01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:08.399
After Jordan Tyson got drafted, there wasn't a first round
979
01:09:08.430 --> 01:09:09.510
wide receiver on the board.
980
01:09:10.609 --> 01:09:11.010
Yeah.
981
01:09:11.390 --> 01:09:13.489
You kind of, you kind of did what the Eagles
982
01:09:13.510 --> 01:09:15.430
did in, in the second round.
983
01:09:15.449 --> 01:09:16.010
Yes.
984
01:09:16.130 --> 01:09:18.149
Where it hurts when these drafted hurts. You kind of
985
01:09:18.170 --> 01:09:25.140
did this. Not, The reach The reach portion.
986
01:09:25.420 --> 01:09:29.069
And if you're going to take a wide receiver Casey
987
01:09:29.109 --> 01:09:36.670
Concepcion was there Yeah A guy with speed That Can
988
01:09:36.710 --> 01:09:47.920
get open Not a Short Physical zone eater Like You
989
01:09:47.939 --> 01:09:48.640
have to know.
990
01:09:48.659 --> 01:09:53.500
You know, that's my problem with Howie, though. This is
991
01:09:53.579 --> 01:09:57.119
the shit that annoys me. It's like he gets in
992
01:09:57.159 --> 01:09:58.750
that fucking zone.
993
01:09:58.890 --> 01:10:01.090
Yes, like my shit doesn't stink.
994
01:10:01.750 --> 01:10:04.029
Yeah, and the fucking virus, bro.
995
01:10:04.050 --> 01:10:07.810
Like, he gets the fucking virus in his fucking robot body, dude.
996
01:10:07.869 --> 01:10:11.310
Like, what is he fucking doing sometimes? Like, what is
997
01:10:11.350 --> 01:10:12.149
he thinking?
998
01:10:12.789 --> 01:10:15.819
Markel Bell might end up being their best pick of
999
01:10:15.859 --> 01:10:16.520
this draft class.
1000
01:10:16.579 --> 01:10:20.920
And that's not a good thing as a third-round pick, dude. Oh,
1001
01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:22.439
that's fucking horrible.
1002
01:10:22.819 --> 01:10:28.439
And, yes, it's very early, but, like, we don't watch.
1003
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:33.119
We watch tape. We don't get out as much as
1004
01:10:33.539 --> 01:10:34.689
that room does.
1005
01:10:35.430 --> 01:10:36.930
If you want to try.
1006
01:10:36.649 --> 01:10:39.149
The water seeker in the first round, it needs to
1007
01:10:39.189 --> 01:10:40.489
be a difference maker.
1008
01:10:40.510 --> 01:10:43.170
Yeah.
1009
01:10:43.289 --> 01:10:47.949
This training up for Makai Lemon was thinking, dude, the
1010
01:10:47.989 --> 01:10:54.060
whole league either plays, well, Cleveland plays man. Everyone else
1011
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:57.220
kind of runs like a match zone. Standard zone is
1012
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:01.159
still a thing, but it's less and less. With how
1013
01:11:01.239 --> 01:11:06.010
athletic tight ends are and you're starting to see the
1014
01:11:06.050 --> 01:11:09.949
move to 12 and 13 personnel, teams are running more
1015
01:11:10.029 --> 01:11:14.729
match zone concepts. We watched the tape on Makai Lemon
1016
01:11:14.770 --> 01:11:16.819
and said, this guy can't beat press. He can't beat
1017
01:11:16.840 --> 01:11:17.420
press man.
1018
01:11:18.159 --> 01:11:20.819
We were just like, eh.
1019
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:25.220
There's nothing special. He's not dynamic. He might turn into
1020
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:30.140
a decent wide receiver. But that's a second-round pick.
1021
01:11:31.100 --> 01:11:32.350
Yeah.
1022
01:11:32.470 --> 01:11:35.270
If I'm drafting a wide receiver first overall, or when
1023
01:11:35.329 --> 01:11:42.399
I know that my right tackle has one year left, okay,
1024
01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:47.569
let me draft his replacement in the first round. Because
1025
01:11:47.609 --> 01:11:49.270
if you draft a wide receiver in the first round,
1026
01:11:49.289 --> 01:11:51.270
it needs to be dynamic. And there were guys taken
1027
01:11:51.510 --> 01:11:56.449
after Makai Lemon that are better than Makai Lemon. Yeah, yeah.
1028
01:11:57.130 --> 01:11:58.649
And it's no knock on the kid.
1029
01:12:00.590 --> 01:12:02.550
No, it's a knock on fucking home.
1030
01:12:02.930 --> 01:12:04.130
You drafted him to.
1031
01:12:03.970 --> 01:12:06.170
Be your number two, and that kid is a number
1032
01:12:06.250 --> 01:12:08.569
three at best. And right now, he is not ready
1033
01:12:08.590 --> 01:12:09.329
to be a number three.
1034
01:12:10.939 --> 01:12:13.539
And we're not knocking him the player.
1035
01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.579
We're knocking the fucking general manager again because he got
1036
01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:17.779
his fucking head out of his.
1037
01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:19.680
He needs to get his head out of his ass.
1038
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:23.770
And like, to me, we haven't talked about this at all.
1039
01:12:24.970 --> 01:12:27.989
Something that I've wanted to say for a while to you,
1040
01:12:28.630 --> 01:12:30.989
but now I kind of start to think about this.
1041
01:12:32.810 --> 01:12:36.439
And more and more, I feel this way. Could be wrong.
1042
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:40.069
You can call me a fucking idiot... And I could
1043
01:12:40.109 --> 01:12:42.689
feel like a little fucking ant when I tell you this.
1044
01:12:44.869 --> 01:12:49.680
We talk about the room. We talk about being in
1045
01:12:49.779 --> 01:12:55.479
the room with guys, evaluators, your staff.
1046
01:12:58.420 --> 01:13:04.130
For Howie, guys come and go and he's gotten a
1047
01:13:04.170 --> 01:13:07.449
lot of guys to leave. They lost a lot of guys.
1048
01:13:09.239 --> 01:13:10.060
to other teams.
1049
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:14.000
There's been, this past offseason, there was a couple guys
1050
01:13:14.039 --> 01:13:18.760
that left to pursue, and I'm throwing air quotes out there,
1051
01:13:19.300 --> 01:13:22.640
other opportunities, which they didn't go because there was a
1052
01:13:22.699 --> 01:13:26.760
few that, like, did not become NFL general managers, right?
1053
01:13:27.560 --> 01:13:34.850
Yep. Do you think sometimes how we, like, I don't
1054
01:13:34.859 --> 01:13:36.510
want to have this conversation in full.
1055
01:13:36.890 --> 01:13:37.329
We could.
1056
01:13:37.890 --> 01:13:38.270
Depends.
1057
01:13:39.060 --> 01:13:42.760
I'm not ready to fully have a conversation because I'm
1058
01:13:42.779 --> 01:13:44.119
not going to say I know everything.
1059
01:13:45.210 --> 01:13:48.090
Do you think sometimes Howie isn't.
1060
01:13:48.029 --> 01:13:52.149
Always the smartest guy, but he just has a smart
1061
01:13:53.329 --> 01:13:54.489
group of people?
1062
01:13:54.789 --> 01:13:55.170
Yes.
1063
01:13:55.409 --> 01:13:58.890
And that's what the– like when the guys start to
1064
01:13:58.909 --> 01:14:02.520
leave and you start to see the struggling with the drafting,
1065
01:14:03.500 --> 01:14:07.399
you think people don't look at that more often?
1066
01:14:08.390 --> 01:14:09.949
I mean, I know we've had those.
1067
01:14:09.829 --> 01:14:14.189
Conversations, not too much, but like you start to see
1068
01:14:14.229 --> 01:14:18.239
people leave, come and go, and then you're like, it
1069
01:14:18.260 --> 01:14:19.020
just gets worse.
1070
01:14:20.260 --> 01:14:28.520
Yes, he is a guy that needs the, hey, I'm
1071
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:32.010
thinking this, this is what's in my head. He needs
1072
01:14:32.050 --> 01:14:35.449
those guys that'll be like, no, let's not be the
1073
01:14:35.489 --> 01:14:37.449
smartest guy in the room. Let's make the right pick.
1074
01:14:39.970 --> 01:14:43.909
Because I do think that is... We've seen it time
1075
01:14:43.930 --> 01:14:45.090
and time again with Howie.
1076
01:14:45.829 --> 01:14:46.130
Yeah.
1077
01:14:46.550 --> 01:14:50.930
The Jalen Rager pick over Dustin Jefferson. We can go
1078
01:14:50.989 --> 01:14:56.649
through 10 draft picks where he thought he was being
1079
01:14:56.689 --> 01:15:02.529
the smart guy in the room. And there's one time
1080
01:15:02.569 --> 01:15:07.710
it worked out. Yeah. Drafting Jalen Hurts. Because that was
1081
01:15:07.850 --> 01:15:11.670
a I'm the smartest guy in the room pick. And
1082
01:15:12.609 --> 01:15:14.649
it worked out, and you won a Super Bowl.
1083
01:15:14.750 --> 01:15:17.390
It fucking thankfully worked out, but it put a fucking
1084
01:15:17.430 --> 01:15:18.810
bitchy in the fucking ass, too.
1085
01:15:19.149 --> 01:15:25.779
Yes. But he needs those guys that'll go, no, hey,
1086
01:15:27.260 --> 01:15:29.659
Quinion Mitchell falls in your lap. You take Quinion Mitchell.
1087
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:32.529
Yeah. Okay, yeah, great. Devontae Smith.
1088
01:15:32.810 --> 01:15:36.489
Yeah, Devontae Smith fell in your lap in the top ten. Like,
1089
01:15:36.590 --> 01:15:40.359
you're taking that guy. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooper
1090
01:15:40.399 --> 01:15:45.100
Dijon's available. Should we get him? Yes, Howie. Work your magic.
1091
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:49.199
That's where you're best at. Okay, cool. Boom. Then you
1092
01:15:49.229 --> 01:15:51.289
go get that. You have the extra pick in the
1093
01:15:51.329 --> 01:15:57.390
first round. Oh, yes. Okay, we're going to get Jalen Carter. Okay, great.
1094
01:15:57.750 --> 01:16:02.460
He needs those guys in the room to be like, Howie,
1095
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:05.079
sometimes in the draft you don't have to be the
1096
01:16:05.140 --> 01:16:09.720
smartest guy. You have to make the right pick. Drafting
1097
01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:14.600
Eli Stowers and Makai Lemon, to me, is smelling like, oh,
1098
01:16:14.659 --> 01:16:17.979
look at me here. Let me get this. We're going
1099
01:16:18.000 --> 01:16:20.520
to draft these guys, and you're going to be like, oh,
1100
01:16:20.539 --> 01:16:26.710
my God, those are steals. And that's what they got. Like,
1101
01:16:27.430 --> 01:16:30.890
the pundits loved it. Oh, the Eagles got another great draft.
1102
01:16:33.039 --> 01:16:35.859
But right now, you're missing... That's the thing.
1103
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:41.039
Every fucking drop... Dude, that's my.
1104
01:16:41.619 --> 01:16:44.829
I think sometimes I'm guilty of this.
1105
01:16:44.970 --> 01:16:46.789
I get a little excited because we.
1106
01:16:46.949 --> 01:16:49.550
Me too. I saw the vision. I didn't like the picks,
1107
01:16:49.590 --> 01:16:52.989
but I saw what the thought process was.
1108
01:16:53.829 --> 01:16:54.149
Yeah.
1109
01:16:55.449 --> 01:16:58.359
But when you don't back... If you draft Eli Stowers,
1110
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:03.880
I need to keep Cam Latu... And I brought in
1111
01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:06.560
Johnny Muntin. He hasn't been great so far, but I'm
1112
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:10.000
bringing in three other tight ends that can block. Because
1113
01:17:10.060 --> 01:17:12.420
I know Eli Stowers is not ready to play this year.
1114
01:17:15.340 --> 01:17:17.140
We talked about it. That's why he was my sixth
1115
01:17:17.159 --> 01:17:20.739
tight end. He's an RPO merchant and he can't block.
1116
01:17:21.060 --> 01:17:23.189
And you're running a scheme where you need to block.
1117
01:17:26.689 --> 01:17:32.260
And guess what? You draft a Roush You draft a
1118
01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:36.979
Max Clare. You draft a Kenyon Sadiq. Then guess what?
1119
01:17:37.619 --> 01:17:40.500
Dallas Goddard gets hurt. It still sucks. But, oh, great.
1120
01:17:41.090 --> 01:17:43.050
We can slide this rookie in and see what he
1121
01:17:43.090 --> 01:17:48.989
can do. Yeah. Instead, it's, oh, wait, we lost Dallas Goddard. And, wait,
1122
01:17:49.010 --> 01:17:52.170
we already had Stowers on IR because he wasn't ready
1123
01:17:52.210 --> 01:17:57.739
to play. Oh, and, you know, it's kind of important
1124
01:17:57.760 --> 01:17:59.619
for this offense to run what we want to run
1125
01:17:59.859 --> 01:18:04.470
that the guys can block. But, no, let's keep Andy Dalton.
1126
01:18:04.829 --> 01:18:08.289
Let's have four quarterbacks on the active roster, and we
1127
01:18:08.310 --> 01:18:13.189
have to lose Cam Latu. And then he throws one pass.
1128
01:18:13.850 --> 01:18:16.949
And then Andy Dalton throws one pass to interception.
1129
01:18:17.050 --> 01:18:17.329
Yes.
1130
01:18:17.489 --> 01:18:20.689
And we immediately say, you're not the starter, or you're
1131
01:18:20.710 --> 01:18:22.979
not the backup, and you're getting cut.
1132
01:18:22.989 --> 01:18:25.899
And we don't have Cam Latu.
1133
01:18:27.310 --> 01:18:29.310
And what? Because we thought some team was going to
1134
01:18:29.340 --> 01:18:32.020
be desperate enough to trade for Tanner McKee or Andy Dalton?
1135
01:18:32.579 --> 01:18:36.619
And that's where I think his room this year has
1136
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:38.800
changed and not in a good way.
1137
01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:39.720
And I don't like it.
1138
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:44.020
I don't like the vision of what the people in
1139
01:18:44.060 --> 01:18:48.920
the room are telling him. They aren't the smartest people.
1140
01:18:50.460 --> 01:18:53.250
In the room. Or need to be in the room.
1141
01:18:53.270 --> 01:18:57.930
And I don't know if those guys left because maybe
1142
01:18:57.949 --> 01:19:01.409
Howie's a fucking... Maybe Howie's confrontational.
1143
01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:02.500
We don't know him.
1144
01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:07.060
We see him talk about football. But we don't have
1145
01:19:07.079 --> 01:19:08.939
to deal with him on a day-to-day basis.
1146
01:19:09.180 --> 01:19:11.100
No. He could be a fucking dick. You know what
1147
01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:14.399
I mean? But, like, I don't know that.
1148
01:19:16.699 --> 01:19:21.409
No, and you kind of know if you are an
1149
01:19:22.010 --> 01:19:26.449
underling of Howie, you kind of know you're not taking
1150
01:19:26.489 --> 01:19:26.989
his job.
1151
01:19:28.050 --> 01:19:30.439
No, no. So you kind of have to be, like,
1152
01:19:31.140 --> 01:19:33.310
the friend that basically....
1153
01:19:33.859 --> 01:19:38.640
Yeah, you're trying to learn and help out and hopefully
1154
01:19:38.659 --> 01:19:39.399
get your own job.
1155
01:19:40.979 --> 01:19:41.220
Yeah.
1156
01:19:41.739 --> 01:19:44.590
But you're not going to– I mean, maybe you want
1157
01:19:44.609 --> 01:19:48.470
to be an underling for your career, which, I mean, dude,
1158
01:19:48.550 --> 01:19:53.010
you win. You're winning playoff games. You're winning Super Bowls. Like,
1159
01:19:53.029 --> 01:19:57.430
that's great. But if I'm in that room and I'm
1160
01:19:57.470 --> 01:20:00.399
going like, yo, I told him to pick this guy.
1161
01:20:00.489 --> 01:20:02.039
I told him to pick this guy. I told him
1162
01:20:02.060 --> 01:20:02.739
to pick this guy.
1163
01:20:02.779 --> 01:20:03.300
Did he hit?
1164
01:20:04.850 --> 01:20:06.770
And a team comes to me saying, yo, Matt, you
1165
01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:07.680
want to be a GM?
1166
01:20:08.859 --> 01:20:09.079
Yeah.
1167
01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:15.939
Yeah. Let me go run my show. But.
1168
01:20:16.060 --> 01:20:16.300
Yeah.
1169
01:20:17.439 --> 01:20:20.220
And to tie into, like, do you want to be
1170
01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:26.279
an underling? We are excited about 2028, right?
1171
01:20:26.300 --> 01:20:29.279
Yeah. But do I trust him?
1172
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:32.159
Do I trust him? Not necessarily.
1173
01:20:32.689 --> 01:20:32.819
But.
1174
01:20:33.220 --> 01:20:37.319
Brandon Lee Gatton on the PHY pod yesterday said, Howie
1175
01:20:37.420 --> 01:20:39.960
is able to make those moves because he is that
1176
01:20:40.060 --> 01:20:45.750
comfortable in his job security. GMs will trade. That's why
1177
01:20:45.789 --> 01:20:49.430
they're not 2027 picks. Because, oh, GM's going, I'm probably
1178
01:20:49.470 --> 01:20:52.050
going to be here for that. But a GM will
1179
01:20:52.090 --> 01:20:55.500
trade 2028, 2022 to three years from now because guess what?
1180
01:20:55.539 --> 01:21:00.260
They might not be there. And I was like, oh, shit,
1181
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.920
that's right. Like, if I'm the GM of a bad team,
1182
01:21:06.359 --> 01:21:08.170
they might tell me, yeah, we're going to give you
1183
01:21:08.210 --> 01:21:09.489
four years to turn this around.
1184
01:21:10.310 --> 01:21:11.470
But they're not giving you four years to give you
1185
01:21:11.510 --> 01:21:11.770
four years.
1186
01:21:11.789 --> 01:21:13.590
They're not giving you four years to turn it around.
1187
01:21:13.609 --> 01:21:14.630
Yeah, they're going to give you two.
1188
01:21:14.689 --> 01:21:15.250
So guess what?
1189
01:21:15.270 --> 01:21:17.409
That was always the conversation.
1190
01:21:17.430 --> 01:21:18.220
Yeah, take it.
1191
01:21:19.590 --> 01:21:22.720
That was always the conversation with my dad is like, hey, like,
1192
01:21:23.359 --> 01:21:26.380
you know, a GM, a head coach, you get five years.
1193
01:21:27.380 --> 01:21:29.359
It's like. Not in this fucking day.
1194
01:21:29.819 --> 01:21:35.340
When is that fucking, that changed because we've kind of
1195
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:40.239
talked about that like a little bit. Why did that
1196
01:21:40.380 --> 01:21:44.020
change from like, hey, that's a guaranteed, you get a
1197
01:21:44.020 --> 01:21:45.800
head coaching job, it's five years.
1198
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:50.840
It's no matter what. When and why did that change?
1199
01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:55.260
Like the standard of like a five-year, like if you're
1200
01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:59.470
hiring a new head coach, you're thinking rebuild. Like unless
1201
01:21:59.569 --> 01:22:03.970
you're like a coach retires and then you have to
1202
01:22:03.989 --> 01:22:06.649
kind of, you know, you get a head coach here
1203
01:22:06.670 --> 01:22:08.930
and there that retires, but you don't get that every
1204
01:22:08.989 --> 01:22:14.380
fucking day. It's mostly fired or guys step back. Guys
1205
01:22:14.659 --> 01:22:20.329
kind of stay, Tomlin stayed fucking Pittsburgh for, fucking forever
1206
01:22:20.350 --> 01:22:24.989
in Harbaugh forever. Uh, but they kind of came to
1207
01:22:25.010 --> 01:22:27.090
the end of the road with like a bad year
1208
01:22:27.229 --> 01:22:29.380
or like a, you know, bad ending to the season.
1209
01:22:29.909 --> 01:22:31.949
But like when a guy like the five year thing, like,
1210
01:22:32.149 --> 01:22:32.960
why did that kind.
1211
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:37.520
Of go away? Like for like the actual, like vision
1212
01:22:37.579 --> 01:22:37.939
of that?
1213
01:22:38.640 --> 01:22:44.760
I think there's, I think you're praying into, there's so
1214
01:22:44.819 --> 01:22:50.470
much pressure now for teams to win. With the advancement
1215
01:22:50.510 --> 01:22:54.890
of social media and how there's more connections to situations.
1216
01:22:55.869 --> 01:23:01.050
I think some owners got taken advantage of by your
1217
01:23:01.090 --> 01:23:07.600
college coaches. Chip. I mean, it's a little older, but
1218
01:23:07.819 --> 01:23:12.699
even Steve Spurrier with one of Dan Snyder's genius moves.
1219
01:23:13.539 --> 01:23:15.359
And these college coaches don't work out.
1220
01:23:15.939 --> 01:23:16.140
And.
1221
01:23:17.630 --> 01:23:23.029
Then I think other and the opposite of that is
1222
01:23:23.250 --> 01:23:28.649
teams look and saw like Cincinnati with Marvin Lewis. He
1223
01:23:28.689 --> 01:23:31.029
was there for 10 years. They'd make the playoffs every
1224
01:23:31.069 --> 01:23:34.479
year or two, but they were never a threat to
1225
01:23:34.489 --> 01:23:38.819
win a Super Bowl. And I think some owners are
1226
01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:42.500
probably like, do I give this guy 10 years? If
1227
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:44.199
it's not off to a good start and we're not winning,
1228
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:45.880
let me just cup eight and try the next guy.
1229
01:23:46.989 --> 01:23:50.439
And now with social media, if you're not there in
1230
01:23:50.520 --> 01:23:53.920
two years, the fans are going, this team fucking stinks,
1231
01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:57.000
and why is this guy fired? We're seeing it now.
1232
01:23:57.579 --> 01:23:59.920
We've made the playoffs for five straight years, and we
1233
01:23:59.960 --> 01:24:00.920
want the coach fired.
1234
01:24:01.979 --> 01:24:07.130
Yeah, and it's fucking crazy. It's fucking wild, dude. Five
1235
01:24:07.189 --> 01:24:09.159
straight years, and he fucking....
1236
01:24:10.729 --> 01:24:13.649
It's like... And then you're going to bring in the
1237
01:24:13.689 --> 01:24:14.270
next head coach.
1238
01:24:14.890 --> 01:24:17.630
Dude, I'm not fucking, I'm not.
1239
01:24:19.229 --> 01:24:20.140
Hypothetical.
1240
01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:24.520
If they would move on from Sirianni, man, whoever they
1241
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:26.880
fucking bring in the head coach is going to have
1242
01:24:27.619 --> 01:24:29.319
the hardest fucking job.
1243
01:24:29.380 --> 01:24:30.159
Yes, yes.
1244
01:24:30.859 --> 01:24:32.920
In regards to mentally.
1245
01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:38.039
That's a mentally bad job because, dude, you're wondering when
1246
01:24:38.079 --> 01:24:41.310
they're going to turn on me. When are they going
1247
01:24:41.329 --> 01:24:43.369
to pull the rug underneath me?
1248
01:24:43.850 --> 01:24:44.289
Are they?
1249
01:24:44.529 --> 01:24:47.189
Like, if I win nine games, ten games, that's not
1250
01:24:47.229 --> 01:24:52.310
good enough. Like, I'm going to be constantly criticized about
1251
01:24:52.350 --> 01:24:52.770
my work.
1252
01:24:53.449 --> 01:24:54.569
Probably more than anybody.
1253
01:24:54.930 --> 01:24:58.439
Probably more than any of these fucking other 32, any
1254
01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:02.060
of the 30 other, one of the 31 other teams.
1255
01:25:02.260 --> 01:25:04.460
No fucking doubt, bro. No doubt.
1256
01:25:04.619 --> 01:25:06.199
I'm going to be on that coach's ass.
1257
01:25:06.979 --> 01:25:07.159
Yeah.
1258
01:25:08.210 --> 01:25:10.189
I'm going to be on that coach's ass because guess what?
1259
01:25:10.489 --> 01:25:12.930
It wasn't always pretty, but we made the playoffs every year.
1260
01:25:13.789 --> 01:25:18.479
Yeah. I don't think I'm going to be on the
1261
01:25:18.489 --> 01:25:21.859
coach's ass, but I'll be more on fucking Howie. No,
1262
01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:25.659
Howie and the coach. Yeah.
1263
01:25:26.180 --> 01:25:27.069
They're all getting it.
1264
01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:28.140
Yeah.
1265
01:25:30.180 --> 01:25:34.779
Because they are playing a team this Sunday. They're playing
1266
01:25:34.819 --> 01:25:39.609
a team tomorrow. That's a very good offensive line. They
1267
01:25:39.630 --> 01:25:42.579
have a nice running back in Basial Tootin. They got
1268
01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:49.800
a nice wide receiving core. They're balanced. I need to
1269
01:25:49.859 --> 01:25:53.430
see some of these guys that we've invested in, that
1270
01:25:53.470 --> 01:26:00.170
the GM's invested in, make some damn plays. Because this
1271
01:26:00.229 --> 01:26:02.569
is where they're playing a team that I am very
1272
01:26:02.590 --> 01:26:05.859
high on. I'm very high on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor
1273
01:26:05.890 --> 01:26:08.029
Lawrence is starting to get it right. He's starting to
1274
01:26:08.069 --> 01:26:10.170
round in to why he was the number one overall pick,
1275
01:26:10.189 --> 01:26:13.350
because guess what? He's got great coaching. He's got a good...
1276
01:26:13.090 --> 01:26:13.529
What's his.
1277
01:26:14.250 --> 01:26:17.909
What do you think, like, watching him and looking at
1278
01:26:17.970 --> 01:26:24.260
his film, what do you think has come quicker in
1279
01:26:24.460 --> 01:26:27.119
slowing down in his game?
1280
01:26:29.180 --> 01:26:34.149
Oh, well, I think he has a coach... that understands
1281
01:26:34.470 --> 01:26:40.930
offense and modern and modern football. And he's confident. Like there,
1282
01:26:40.970 --> 01:26:43.460
there are still like, I watched through a bunch of their,
1283
01:26:44.180 --> 01:26:47.199
a bunch of tape from them this morning. Their offensive
1284
01:26:47.220 --> 01:26:51.800
line is playing well, but he looks like a confident quarterback.
1285
01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:55.760
There's still, there's still some things where if he's pressured
1286
01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:58.130
right in his face, he doesn't know. It doesn't throw
1287
01:26:58.170 --> 01:27:01.609
it the best posture and the best technique. But even
1288
01:27:01.670 --> 01:27:06.739
his bad throws aren't bad. Right. There were plays in
1289
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:09.640
that Denver game where he had pressure in his face.
1290
01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:13.119
He's getting hit as he's throwing. Okay, they're not the
1291
01:27:13.159 --> 01:27:17.789
best throws, but they weren't horrible throws. They're still relatively accurate.
1292
01:27:17.829 --> 01:27:20.630
Could have been picked off. Could have been caught. 50-50
1293
01:27:20.930 --> 01:27:24.510
balls for sure. But this is a quarterback that is
1294
01:27:24.590 --> 01:27:28.460
playing like he understands the offense and understands what he's
1295
01:27:28.500 --> 01:27:31.369
supposed to do and what his receivers are supposed to do.
1296
01:27:32.729 --> 01:27:34.850
It's the complete opposite of how Jalen Hurts looks the
1297
01:27:34.890 --> 01:27:39.689
last two weeks. And to me, that's the biggest thing.
1298
01:27:40.390 --> 01:27:43.350
But it's the player, not the coach.
1299
01:27:44.470 --> 01:27:49.909
Yeah, dude, you can fucking scheme. You can scheme everything
1300
01:27:50.060 --> 01:27:53.619
up that you want. The quarterback needs to be confident,
1301
01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:57.960
trust his offensive line, and throw the ball. Not everyone
1302
01:27:58.020 --> 01:27:59.119
is going to be wide open.
1303
01:27:59.930 --> 01:28:02.060
Yeah, he doesn't trust himself. He doesn't trust himself at all.
1304
01:28:02.069 --> 01:28:04.449
You have to trust yourself and trust your receivers and
1305
01:28:04.529 --> 01:28:07.010
trust your arm, and that's vital.
1306
01:28:08.050 --> 01:28:12.380
Yeah, and he does not, he has no, like, through
1307
01:28:12.810 --> 01:28:17.140
four weeks, he's still, it's like he's still trying to
1308
01:28:17.220 --> 01:28:18.100
figure out himself.
1309
01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:22.399
Yes. First two weeks were, to me, I was feeling
1310
01:28:22.460 --> 01:28:26.600
confident in what that guy was seeing. The last two weeks,
1311
01:28:26.640 --> 01:28:28.899
not so much. Yeah.
1312
01:28:29.449 --> 01:28:33.720
The last two weeks have been back to the old hurts. Yes.
1313
01:28:34.979 --> 01:28:37.970
That's why the offense is so bad, and that's why
1314
01:28:38.010 --> 01:28:39.329
the offense stalls so much.
1315
01:28:39.350 --> 01:28:41.880
And it's a quarterback. league.
1316
01:28:42.180 --> 01:28:43.520
You have to make plays.
1317
01:28:44.180 --> 01:28:46.560
If you don't have the quarterback play, you're not winning.
1318
01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:50.510
I don't care about anything. You could have fucking 52
1319
01:28:50.510 --> 01:28:52.850
men on that roster that are really good, but if
1320
01:28:52.890 --> 01:28:55.869
the quarterback stinks, nothing.
1321
01:28:55.909 --> 01:29:00.960
He's the first one He is the first line of defense.
1322
01:29:01.340 --> 01:29:01.659
Yes.
1323
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:06.819
If he gets blown up, he's the commander. He's the
1324
01:29:06.859 --> 01:29:10.359
commander of the offense. If the commander gets shot, guess what?
1325
01:29:12.319 --> 01:29:13.329
Everybody else is.
1326
01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:15.600
As bad as Stafford played last week.
1327
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:17.239
He's a commander.
1328
01:29:17.260 --> 01:29:21.229
He's a commander. The last two drives, the two most
1329
01:29:21.279 --> 01:29:25.319
important drives, Stafford was standing back there and going, I'm
1330
01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:27.210
going to get it. And the cover, it's not like
1331
01:29:27.229 --> 01:29:28.310
guys were wide open.
1332
01:29:29.220 --> 01:29:29.479
Yeah.
1333
01:29:30.260 --> 01:29:33.500
But he said, I need to lead my team on
1334
01:29:33.539 --> 01:29:36.399
a drive here. I'm going to throw the ball to
1335
01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:40.159
Puka Nakua, to Devontae Adams, to Kyron Williams, and I'm
1336
01:29:40.180 --> 01:29:44.260
going to make something happen. He didn't try to run
1337
01:29:44.300 --> 01:29:47.010
and scramble and just throw the ball away. He stood
1338
01:29:47.029 --> 01:29:51.909
in the pocket, took hits, took pressure, and made plays.
1339
01:29:52.010 --> 01:29:53.710
And that's what Hurts has to do.
1340
01:29:54.630 --> 01:29:54.829
Yeah.
1341
01:29:59.909 --> 01:30:03.930
But this matchup, Jacksonville's offensive line is playing good. This
1342
01:30:04.050 --> 01:30:07.430
is an opportunity. I need to see Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis,
1343
01:30:07.489 --> 01:30:11.529
and Jomo get pressure. A lot of the pressures that
1344
01:30:11.550 --> 01:30:15.170
Jacksonville has given up is D tackles versus the interior
1345
01:30:15.229 --> 01:30:20.800
offensive line. Those guys need to come to play. That's
1346
01:30:20.819 --> 01:30:22.039
where you're going to get the pressure.
1347
01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:26.170
And if we're going to be through five weeks– If
1348
01:30:26.210 --> 01:30:32.630
they're continuing not to get pressure, that's going to be
1349
01:30:32.710 --> 01:30:35.609
my– it's going to probably be number three in regards
1350
01:30:35.710 --> 01:30:37.510
to my issues with this team.
1351
01:30:37.550 --> 01:30:39.710
Yes. Yes.
1352
01:30:39.710 --> 01:30:39.789
100%.
1353
01:30:39.789 --> 01:30:41.829
And I'm going.
1354
01:30:41.630 --> 01:30:45.130
To start to kind of– and I'm starting to kind
1355
01:30:45.210 --> 01:30:48.890
of– I'm not like all the way there. I'm probably
1356
01:30:48.909 --> 01:30:54.479
like 15% there. But I'm like getting annoyed with excuses.
1357
01:30:57.010 --> 01:30:59.510
Yeah, those guys are paid.
1358
01:31:00.270 --> 01:31:04.270
You're paying Jordan Davis.
1359
01:31:04.350 --> 01:31:08.020
You paid Jalen Carter. Is Jalen Carter banged up? Sure.
1360
01:31:09.899 --> 01:31:14.720
But, dude, he's getting doubled on every play. Why isn't
1361
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:20.579
Jomo able to benefit off of that? Why isn't Jordan
1362
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:23.840
Davis being able to benefit off of that? Why isn't
1363
01:31:23.920 --> 01:31:28.109
somebody else... making a stand and going you know what
1364
01:31:28.289 --> 01:31:31.789
these guys are not getting the pressure but they're getting
1365
01:31:31.890 --> 01:31:36.130
blocked like crazy but whatever various schemes they're playing against
1366
01:31:37.010 --> 01:31:40.250
let me make a fucking play hey i'm nolan smith
1367
01:31:40.270 --> 01:31:43.029
i want to get paid in the offseason you're not
1368
01:31:43.060 --> 01:31:45.659
getting paid in the offseason with that fucking performance i'm
1369
01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:51.069
sorry jaylex hunt you you want to get paid I need.
1370
01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:53.439
That man to start making some plays.
1371
01:31:53.819 --> 01:31:58.000
You've been okay, but that doesn't warrant a fucking big payday.
1372
01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:02.600
And if you think so, I would love to know
1373
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:09.479
what you're paying a fucking really good player because he's
1374
01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:16.590
been average. And on this team, he's been average. He's
1375
01:32:16.630 --> 01:32:22.670
not fucking great. Bernard's good. Nolan Smith is okay. They
1376
01:32:22.869 --> 01:32:27.329
just don't fucking... I don't know what the fuck is
1377
01:32:27.369 --> 01:32:27.770
going on.
1378
01:32:27.829 --> 01:32:31.930
They're not making plays. That's as simple as it is.
1379
01:32:33.029 --> 01:32:38.409
Those guys are not making plays. They're non-existent out there.
1380
01:32:38.430 --> 01:32:41.449
They're not winning their one-on-ones. They're not making plays in
1381
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:44.479
the run game. They're not doing anything. Nolan Smith played
1382
01:32:44.500 --> 01:32:48.220
a very good game last week. That's the first time
1383
01:32:48.260 --> 01:32:50.920
in four weeks he's been I.
1384
01:32:50.840 --> 01:32:54.180
Hate when he makes a play and then they're all
1385
01:32:54.199 --> 01:32:56.500
sitting there.
1386
01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:58.770
Going, oh man, this is the Nolan Smith year. I
1387
01:32:59.989 --> 01:33:01.890
just gotta prove it, man.
1388
01:33:01.909 --> 01:33:06.449
I just gotta prove it.
1389
01:33:06.489 --> 01:33:10.550
Yeah, I got the people on the fucking online saying that, oh,
1390
01:33:10.609 --> 01:33:12.250
Nolan Smith is going to get a big payday.
1391
01:33:12.489 --> 01:33:12.760
Where?
1392
01:33:13.069 --> 01:33:14.680
Who the fuck's going to pay him to play that
1393
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:19.260
through that way? Yeah, I don't know.
1394
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:25.760
That's how you get a general manager fired. No, that's
1395
01:33:25.899 --> 01:33:33.970
not ideal. You talked a little bit about the Jags
1396
01:33:33.979 --> 01:33:35.630
O-line versus the Eagles.
1397
01:33:38.250 --> 01:33:39.930
Who would you favor in that matchup?
1398
01:33:41.390 --> 01:33:44.270
I mean, right now, it's Jacksonville's offensive line because the
1399
01:33:44.289 --> 01:33:46.090
Eagles' defensive line hasn't done jack shit.
1400
01:33:47.810 --> 01:33:53.720
Um, and the Jags defensive line versus the Eagles offensive line, uh.
1401
01:33:54.060 --> 01:33:57.479
Jags defensive Jags defense in general, I think is playing
1402
01:33:57.520 --> 01:33:59.279
some of the best ball in all of the NFL
1403
01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:05.350
right now. Uh, they're very difficult to run against. They're
1404
01:34:05.369 --> 01:34:09.909
only given up 3.3 yards per play. Uh, yards before
1405
01:34:09.989 --> 01:34:15.729
contact is 1.28. So they are, uh, and they only
1406
01:34:15.770 --> 01:34:18.369
give up two yards per carry after contact, and they
1407
01:34:18.430 --> 01:34:22.609
just play. They're in a light box 47% of the time.
1408
01:34:23.409 --> 01:34:28.819
Teams are trying to run outside. It's 50-50, like 50.5
1409
01:34:28.819 --> 01:34:36.539
outside percent. Inside's 46.2. You have two new interior offensive
1410
01:34:36.579 --> 01:34:42.430
linemen this week. I'm trying to attack outside. They're very
1411
01:34:42.470 --> 01:34:46.880
good on the edges. But you need to establish the
1412
01:34:46.920 --> 01:34:53.060
run game and get it going. Their capacity fits, too.
1413
01:34:55.000 --> 01:34:59.060
They're a very quick get-off team at. 79. That is
1414
01:35:00.939 --> 01:35:05.010
third best in the league. They blitz 26% of the time.
1415
01:35:06.930 --> 01:35:13.180
They give up yards after the catch, though, which that's... okay,
1416
01:35:13.199 --> 01:35:14.779
they're middle of the pack and the yards have to catch.
1417
01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:18.439
So to me, this is, I need Jalen to be,
1418
01:35:18.779 --> 01:35:22.659
it's quick, quick, quick, quick, quick hitting, get the guys
1419
01:35:22.699 --> 01:35:26.590
into space. They're going to play zone. They're going to blitz.
1420
01:35:26.609 --> 01:35:28.670
They're going to play zone behind it. Like this is
1421
01:35:28.710 --> 01:35:32.489
where decisive, if Hertz is decisive and they can get
1422
01:35:32.529 --> 01:35:36.109
the run game going, that's the best opportunity they're going
1423
01:35:36.140 --> 01:35:38.119
to have to move the ball. I don't think this
1424
01:35:38.199 --> 01:35:41.520
is going to be, necessarily the type of game where
1425
01:35:41.579 --> 01:35:45.189
you dominate with the run, but you need to be
1426
01:35:45.270 --> 01:35:47.470
able to get those three to four yards per carry
1427
01:35:48.470 --> 01:35:52.729
and let this, let Jalen be decisive and get rid
1428
01:35:52.750 --> 01:35:55.109
of the ball quick. That's how you're going to have
1429
01:35:55.130 --> 01:36:00.069
to move the ball. Can he get confident? Like this
1430
01:36:00.109 --> 01:36:02.600
to me is easy. I want to open this game
1431
01:36:02.619 --> 01:36:07.119
with some easy throws, let Jalen get a feel, get confident,
1432
01:36:07.159 --> 01:36:10.880
get some momentum and, and then start to let things
1433
01:36:11.039 --> 01:36:12.899
rip down the field and try to open it up.
1434
01:36:14.060 --> 01:36:18.760
You mentioned earlier that the Eagles' running game versus the
1435
01:36:19.020 --> 01:36:24.270
Jags' defense. The Eagles have brought back Carson Steele and
1436
01:36:24.399 --> 01:36:25.770
signed him to the active roster.
1437
01:36:27.510 --> 01:36:29.090
I really wanted to see Jaden Blue.
1438
01:36:29.109 --> 01:36:32.189
Yeah, they could also sign Damian Pierce.
1439
01:36:33.189 --> 01:36:33.689
Yes.
1440
01:36:33.829 --> 01:36:37.449
To me, Pierce is probably going to get... It's going
1441
01:36:37.470 --> 01:36:43.260
to be Shipley and Pierce. Yeah. Blue just gives you
1442
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:48.199
a little more explosiveness, but I don't know. The thing is, though, like,
1443
01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:51.149
Shipley can run between the tackles, so can Pierce. Like,
1444
01:36:51.729 --> 01:36:55.829
maybe they tried a lot of duo this week, and
1445
01:36:55.890 --> 01:36:59.649
if they can get that blocked up well enough, maybe
1446
01:36:59.689 --> 01:37:02.770
this run game actually turns into a good component and
1447
01:37:02.810 --> 01:37:04.180
good complement to the pass game.
1448
01:37:05.220 --> 01:37:07.619
Yeah. Yeah.
1449
01:37:10.529 --> 01:37:15.390
Do you see the– what do you feel about Eagles
1450
01:37:15.430 --> 01:37:19.949
wide receivers versus the Jags secondary and then do the
1451
01:37:20.060 --> 01:37:25.420
other– the Jags wide receivers versus the Eagles secondary?
1452
01:37:27.239 --> 01:37:32.359
Without Smith, I think it's an advantage for Jacksonville secondary.
1453
01:37:33.119 --> 01:37:39.640
Not that their corners are spectacular, but they're– they're playmakers
1454
01:37:40.260 --> 01:37:44.579
and they're decent enough in the coverage on the back end.
1455
01:37:45.460 --> 01:37:48.979
They're the big thing with the Jack secondary. You can
1456
01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:51.979
take advantage of, I think, but their front four has
1457
01:37:52.000 --> 01:37:57.020
done such a good job at getting pressure that, you know,
1458
01:37:57.170 --> 01:38:02.949
obviously the, the way you counteract a average secondary room
1459
01:38:03.970 --> 01:38:05.569
is to get pressure on the quarterback. They do have
1460
01:38:05.590 --> 01:38:11.500
to run bland. Um, No, they don't have throw and play.
1461
01:38:11.539 --> 01:38:17.199
But they do have a slot corner that's very aggressive.
1462
01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:20.949
So can you find a way to pick on that?
1463
01:38:21.909 --> 01:38:26.329
That's going to be important. We're going to see if
1464
01:38:26.390 --> 01:38:30.010
that can be a thing. Because to me, that's where you...
1465
01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:34.600
try to get them. They have Jordan Lewis. That's who
1466
01:38:34.619 --> 01:38:36.739
I was thinking of, not Durant Blaine. But they put
1467
01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:40.239
Jordan Lewis in the slot. He's a very good slot corner.
1468
01:38:42.210 --> 01:38:44.710
He's going to be aggressive and try to bite and
1469
01:38:44.750 --> 01:38:48.130
try to make some plays. So maybe if you can
1470
01:38:48.170 --> 01:38:50.600
get some guys freed up, I think the biggest thing
1471
01:38:51.739 --> 01:38:54.739
is Dallas Goddard being back should be able to help.
1472
01:38:56.520 --> 01:38:59.229
Goddard's an advantage over a tight end or a linebacker,
1473
01:38:59.289 --> 01:39:02.590
so to me that's where I'm going to try to pick. Jacksonville,
1474
01:39:03.789 --> 01:39:07.060
this is a good matchup. Jags wide receivers versus the
1475
01:39:07.100 --> 01:39:10.520
Eagles secondary. I think the Eagles secondary has the advantage
1476
01:39:11.800 --> 01:39:15.720
overall and overall talent level, but Lawrence trusts his guys.
1477
01:39:16.899 --> 01:39:18.979
And he is going to put the ball– he's going
1478
01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:21.560
to throw the ball to Parker Washington. He's going to
1479
01:39:21.579 --> 01:39:23.800
throw the ball to Jacoby Myers. Brian Thomas is going
1480
01:39:23.819 --> 01:39:28.199
to get a couple. But I do think– I think
1481
01:39:28.420 --> 01:39:32.699
both sides of that coin cancel each other out. Like
1482
01:39:32.779 --> 01:39:37.729
I would give both defenses the advantage. It's which front
1483
01:39:37.859 --> 01:39:43.449
four is going to wreak more havoc on the opposing quarterback.
1484
01:39:44.829 --> 01:39:45.229
Right, right.
1485
01:39:46.090 --> 01:39:49.470
That's the biggest difference maker in the pass game. Yeah.
1486
01:39:50.430 --> 01:39:54.869
I was going to say passing concepts.
1487
01:39:55.090 --> 01:40:00.729
They basically do a lot of the same throughout the courses.
1488
01:40:02.609 --> 01:40:07.699
Eagles linebackers versus the Jags tight ends and then Eagles
1489
01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:11.460
tight ends versus the Jags linebackers.
1490
01:40:16.710 --> 01:40:19.590
Well, Eagles tight end room sucks. Dallas Goddard's back, so
1491
01:40:19.609 --> 01:40:22.630
that should help. But I'm going to give advantage to
1492
01:40:22.670 --> 01:40:25.229
Jacksonville there until I see what type of Dallas Goddard's
1493
01:40:25.289 --> 01:40:31.680
out there. Brenton Strange is good. This might be, though.
1494
01:40:31.699 --> 01:40:35.180
I know we love to fucking shit on Jihad Campbell.
1495
01:40:35.659 --> 01:40:38.960
But with Zach Baum being back, this might be the
1496
01:40:39.000 --> 01:40:41.189
game where one of those two can make a play.
1497
01:40:41.970 --> 01:40:47.760
Brenton Strange is solid. But I think he's not a burner.
1498
01:40:47.819 --> 01:40:52.159
He's a decent blocker. He's a decent route runner. This
1499
01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:54.560
could be the type of thing where he's not as
1500
01:40:54.640 --> 01:41:00.630
polished as a Tyler Higbee. So I kind of think
1501
01:41:01.390 --> 01:41:05.289
that's a wash as well. Well, I'd give the Jags
1502
01:41:05.329 --> 01:41:07.569
advantage just because I don't know what Dallas Goddard's going
1503
01:41:07.590 --> 01:41:10.350
to look like. And nothing else Eagles have at tight
1504
01:41:10.409 --> 01:41:15.319
end matters. Right. But I do think this Eagles linebacker
1505
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:18.569
in court can make it very difficult for Brenton Strange.
1506
01:41:23.050 --> 01:41:31.350
Yeah, good stuff, Matt. Special teams, which one matches up better?
1507
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:35.199
If that's a conversation you want to have.
1508
01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:42.489
Brenton Mann's been a great pawner. Cam Little is the
1509
01:41:42.550 --> 01:41:48.060
kicker of ITRZ. Gus. He's got the leg. I don't know.
1510
01:41:48.140 --> 01:41:50.420
Special teams might make an impact in this game because
1511
01:41:50.460 --> 01:41:53.939
it's in London on a soccer field. So I don't
1512
01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:55.619
know which team's going to have the advantage there.
1513
01:41:57.739 --> 01:42:00.180
Tony Khan versus Howie Roseman.
1514
01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:08.590
Howie Roseman all day. All day. Oh man.
1515
01:42:08.630 --> 01:42:12.729
Shad Khan versus Jeffrey, very Jeffrey, very all fucking guys
1516
01:42:12.970 --> 01:42:15.270
all day. At least, at least the owners and the
1517
01:42:15.310 --> 01:42:15.909
fucking dinner.
1518
01:42:15.979 --> 01:42:16.300
Yes.
1519
01:42:17.460 --> 01:42:24.619
The players, not so much, but yeah. Uh, I'm really
1520
01:42:24.659 --> 01:42:27.859
excited for tomorrow. I'm really excited to see you.
1521
01:42:28.890 --> 01:42:29.689
I'm, uh, yeah.
1522
01:42:29.699 --> 01:42:33.069
Looking forward to that. And then, um, yeah, so it
1523
01:42:33.109 --> 01:42:38.340
should be fantastic time. Uh, fucking early. I haven't done
1524
01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:41.720
that in like fucking like nine years since I've fucking
1525
01:42:42.100 --> 01:42:43.800
had to wake up at nine o'clock in the morning
1526
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:44.880
for a fucking.
1527
01:42:46.500 --> 01:42:51.800
Eagles game. It's fucking nuts. Think about this.
1528
01:42:51.859 --> 01:42:54.340
Imagine if like we lived overseas, like we lived in
1529
01:42:54.359 --> 01:42:59.619
fucking like Spain, like fucking six hours fucking waiting, waiting
1530
01:42:59.659 --> 01:43:02.020
all fucking day for a one o'clock game. We're waiting
1531
01:43:02.060 --> 01:43:04.819
a fucking seven o'clock at night for a one Eagles
1532
01:43:04.899 --> 01:43:05.600
one o'clock game.
1533
01:43:05.649 --> 01:43:09.729
You'd be like, What the fuck are we doing?
1534
01:43:09.770 --> 01:43:10.210
Yep.
1535
01:43:10.210 --> 01:43:10.510
100%.
1536
01:43:10.510 --> 01:43:12.789
Like a Monday night football game. You're like sitting up
1537
01:43:12.840 --> 01:43:15.779
at fucking four in the morning. You're like, Oh dude,
1538
01:43:15.819 --> 01:43:16.520
what the fuck?
1539
01:43:16.560 --> 01:43:18.140
What the fuck are we doing?
1540
01:43:19.380 --> 01:43:20.760
Thank God. We don't have to worry about that.
1541
01:43:20.979 --> 01:43:21.739
No, sir.
1542
01:43:22.060 --> 01:43:28.210
Um, you got anything else you want to, uh, get into? No,
1543
01:43:30.289 --> 01:43:30.649
we did.
1544
01:43:31.090 --> 01:43:33.909
Uh, we got, we did like a, what an hour
1545
01:43:33.970 --> 01:43:45.729
and 45 minutes. So, decent little show. Yeah, good stuff, Matt.
1546
01:43:45.899 --> 01:43:49.239
It went fucking fast.
1547
01:43:51.310 --> 01:43:53.909
I'm good. Thank you guys for tuning in.
1548
01:43:54.970 --> 01:44:00.250
We will talk to you guys Monday and then Tuesday.
1549
01:44:00.289 --> 01:44:03.010
We're going to be fucking coming in fucking hot this week.
1550
01:44:03.529 --> 01:44:08.260
With a banger. We already did our predictions. If you
1551
01:44:08.279 --> 01:44:10.279
don't got something else, I don't have anything else.
1552
01:44:11.079 --> 01:44:12.000
We'll talk to you guys.
1553
01:44:13.810 --> 01:44:18.670
You know, as we just were about to come off air,
1554
01:44:18.689 --> 01:44:25.270
I just thought of something. Wasn't there another conversation that
1555
01:44:25.350 --> 01:44:26.630
had with Dwayne Johnson?
1556
01:44:28.130 --> 01:44:29.029
Oh, yes.
1557
01:44:31.409 --> 01:44:33.529
With what Howie said to him the last time they
1558
01:44:33.550 --> 01:44:34.130
were in London.
1559
01:44:35.460 --> 01:44:39.050
Yes, he fucking basically... So I'm going to pull up
1560
01:44:40.229 --> 01:44:42.229
that real quick.
1561
01:44:42.289 --> 01:44:48.909
And then I'll... Yeah, I totally fucking was thinking about that.
1562
01:44:48.930 --> 01:44:50.989
I'm like, wait a minute. I fucking....
1563
01:44:52.069 --> 01:44:58.699
So this is what happened in London the last time.
1564
01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:08.890
Let me pull this up. So this was the following week.
1565
01:45:09.069 --> 01:45:13.109
Lane Johnson was with teammates in the NovaCare cafeteria when
1566
01:45:13.210 --> 01:45:17.270
Roseman walked up and said, according to sources, I've never
1567
01:45:17.369 --> 01:45:20.180
seen you get beat by a rookie before. The pair
1568
01:45:20.220 --> 01:45:23.760
were known to bust each other's chops. But Johnson, who
1569
01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:27.720
was dealing with a personal matter at the time, didn't
1570
01:45:27.760 --> 01:45:31.510
take kindly at the jab. He left the facility. A
1571
01:45:31.590 --> 01:45:34.979
month later, the Eagles were in London to face the Jags.
1572
01:45:36.060 --> 01:45:39.920
Johnson had suffered a high ankle sprain three games earlier
1573
01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:42.819
but continued to forge on. But as the players geared
1574
01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:47.550
up that Sunday in the Wembley Stadium locker room, Johnson
1575
01:45:47.590 --> 01:45:51.710
voiced concerns about playing. Roseman caught wind and berated him,
1576
01:45:52.350 --> 01:45:56.670
sources present said. Nearby teammates and coaches couldn't understand why
1577
01:45:56.729 --> 01:46:00.680
he would provoke him, considering Roseman Johnson's current state. The
1578
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.710
tackle finished shooting up, and as he walked by Roseman,
1579
01:46:04.729 --> 01:46:08.390
the GM said, according to sources, good, you have your
1580
01:46:08.430 --> 01:46:09.189
mouthpiece in.
1581
01:46:09.229 --> 01:46:10.989
Now you can't say anything stupid.
1582
01:46:11.770 --> 01:46:14.710
The last comment, which a source close to Roseman said
1583
01:46:14.750 --> 01:46:18.579
was intended to be playful, set Johnson off. I can't
1584
01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:23.960
play for this explicitive, which probably meant I can't play
1585
01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:24.840
for this fucker.
1586
01:46:25.890 --> 01:46:28.050
He said, according to source, he.
1587
01:46:28.010 --> 01:46:30.039
Took off the equipment and went to the showers and
1588
01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:33.939
missed pregame warm-ups. Left tackle Jason Peters went to Peterson's
1589
01:46:34.039 --> 01:46:38.539
office for help diffusing the situation. Defensive end Chris Long,
1590
01:46:38.579 --> 01:46:43.090
Brandon Brooks, and others talked Johnson into playing. He lasted
1591
01:46:43.170 --> 01:46:47.409
seven plays, Johnson further aggravated his ankle and sprained a
1592
01:46:47.970 --> 01:46:48.729
knee ligament.
1593
01:46:49.369 --> 01:46:50.899
What is your thoughts on the whole situation?
1594
01:46:53.390 --> 01:46:56.300
Uh, Howie's lucky that Lane didn't fucking toss him out
1595
01:46:56.319 --> 01:47:04.619
of the airplane or eat him. But, is it much
1596
01:47:04.659 --> 01:47:07.859
of a problem when Lane ended up staying here for.
1597
01:47:07.779 --> 01:47:08.579
His whole career?
1598
01:47:09.470 --> 01:47:14.649
No. But, Howie, that's a bold move, my boy. That's
1599
01:47:14.670 --> 01:47:23.609
a bold move. That's how I think he's a football guy. Yes.
1600
01:47:26.789 --> 01:47:29.069
That's how I think he's a fucking football guy.
1601
01:47:29.909 --> 01:47:34.449
Yeah.
1602
01:47:34.550 --> 01:47:37.409
But yeah, so I wanted to get real quick into that.
1603
01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:40.859
But yeah, so glad we brought that up. So we'll
1604
01:47:40.899 --> 01:47:44.060
talk to you guys Monday, hopefully for a victory Monday,
1605
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:46.600
because I'm getting tired of these non-victory Mondays.
1606
01:47:46.619 --> 01:47:47.680
Amen.
1607
01:47:49.479 --> 01:48:00.649
Talk to you guys Monday. Peace. I want to give way.
1608
01:48:02.220 --> 01:48:04.640
I want to fly away.
1609
01:48:05.159 --> 01:48:08.699
I want to give way. I want to fly away.
1610
01:48:15.770 --> 01:48:19.850
Let's get drunk. Let's get high.
1
00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:12.220
We on fire.
2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:12.939
Step up in the party.
3
00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:14.640
Step up in the party.
4
00:00:16.629 --> 00:00:18.289
We on fire. Right up to the party.
5
00:00:18.370 --> 00:00:27.410
Right up to the party. Welcome to the party. Welcome
6
00:00:27.469 --> 00:00:33.429
to the party. Welcome to the party. Welcome to the party.
7
00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:35.030
Hit em up.
8
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.359
Get em up. Put em up. We waking up.
9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.049
High, high with my dogs. Rotting high when we pull up.
10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.119
High with my dogs.
11
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:44.060
Rotting high when.
12
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:44.700
We pull up.
13
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:46.579
When we ride, when we pull up.
14
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.770
We be high, when we pull up.
15
00:00:49.829 --> 00:00:51.130
Scoop with the top down.
16
00:00:53.020 --> 00:01:00.020
It is Insanity Goes Red Zone podcast here on Saturday, October.

22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.890
Happy Saturday, biggie. And to everyone that, uh, checks this
23
00:01:45.950 --> 00:01:50.469
episode out, whether you're on Twitch or listening post show
24
00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:55.450
via download, um, Our boys are over in London. We
25
00:01:55.489 --> 00:02:00.079
got that big 9.30 a.m. game tomorrow. Your boys will
26
00:02:00.189 --> 00:02:04.659
be watching it together, which is a beautiful thing. And
27
00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.840
we didn't talk about what we were going to talk about. Obviously,
28
00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:17.349
we're doing a preview today. But good Lord, Eric, Thursday
29
00:02:17.370 --> 00:02:21.430
night football. We sat here talking about how the Bucs
30
00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:25.400
are terrible. And that Todd Bowles could be the first
31
00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:34.939
coach fired. And what happens? They make Dallas. And this
32
00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:35.759
is the league.
33
00:02:35.830 --> 00:02:36.930
I felt like an idiot.
34
00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:37.289
Yes.
35
00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:38.349
I felt like an idiot.
36
00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.449
But especially this early. I know we're in week five.
37
00:02:42.750 --> 00:02:44.990
And it's crazy to think we're five weeks into the
38
00:02:45.050 --> 00:02:48.349
NFL season already. Feels like just a week ago. It
39
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:53.099
was week one. But. You still don't know what these
40
00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:59.360
teams are yet. And the NFL is such a week-to-week league. Like,
41
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:02.719
did I think Jalen Daniels played pretty good? Yeah, he
42
00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:08.780
played poised. He looked solid. But they got Bucky Irvin
43
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.879
going for the first time in, like, the last year
44
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.800
and a half. And they just ran the ball down
45
00:03:15.819 --> 00:03:19.840
Dallas' throat. And what you do... When a team can't
46
00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:23.539
stop something, you keep doing it. And when you flip
47
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.150
that pressure, especially they didn't let it get out of
48
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.909
hand early. Dallas marched up and down the field their
49
00:03:30.949 --> 00:03:33.909
first try. They scored a touchdown. Tampa takes like 11
50
00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:37.210
minutes off the clock. They tie the game up. Dallas
51
00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:41.069
kicks a field goal before halftime, and it's 10-7. And
52
00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:44.219
then you come out in the second half, and Tampa
53
00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:46.509
Bay puts up 21 points in the third quarter. And
54
00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:52.370
they never let Dallas' offense get comfortable. And to me,
55
00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:55.210
that just goes to show you, even if you have
56
00:03:55.250 --> 00:04:00.979
an elite offense, if you are the worst team going
57
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.419
into a game, if you make it uncomfortable and just
58
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.439
hang around enough, you can find a way and find
59
00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:11.120
the method to get that win.
60
00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:11.310
And....
61
00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:17.399
There's something about a desperate team going on the road
62
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:21.990
against a team that on paper looks so much better
63
00:04:22.029 --> 00:04:26.089
in every asset, every facet of the game. But sometimes
64
00:04:26.129 --> 00:04:30.189
that desperate team comes out and is ready to play,
65
00:04:30.269 --> 00:04:34.300
ready for the moment. And then you reverse the pressure.
66
00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:38.220
Like Dallas in that third quarter was sitting there pressing,
67
00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:41.100
going like, oh crap, we don't know. We don't know
68
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.370
what's happening, what's going on. Then the blitzes were coming
69
00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:47.329
and Dak's frustrated and Dak's not able to get easy
70
00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:52.500
passes off. And it just compounds. And then you look, okay,
71
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.199
Dallas made it a game late in the fourth quarter. But, like, dude,
72
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.660
it's a week-to-week league. And even if you're looking horrible,
73
00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:04.180
you still have an opportunity if you come out and
74
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.699
actually execute and make a couple plays. And I think
75
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:14.620
that's important going into tomorrow's game. We looked at it
76
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.920
last week thinking the Rams. This is probably a double-digit
77
00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:20.519
win for the Rams. Eagles played good for a half
78
00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.319
and then completely fell apart in the second half and
79
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.860
had injuries. But with this week that they've had, this
80
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.290
is potential. This could potentially be the type of situation
81
00:05:34.329 --> 00:05:36.970
where it's a rallying cry and if the Eagles come
82
00:05:37.009 --> 00:05:40.470
out and steal a game here against the Jags in London...
83
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.899
That could change the trajectory of the season just like that.
84
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.490
Matt, I have breaking news, but I don't. 16 minutes ago,
85
00:05:54.509 --> 00:05:59.129
Adam Schefter reporting that the Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a
86
00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:01.670
deal to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison.
87
00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:05.300
Sources tell. Tim and Ian Rappaport.
88
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.490
The team informed Harrison this morning that he will be
89
00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:10.870
inactive for Sunday's game versus Detroit as details of the
90
00:06:10.970 --> 00:06:12.189
trade are finalized.
91
00:06:13.850 --> 00:06:17.949
Oh, man. Get that boy here.
92
00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:22.370
Get that boy here.
93
00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:28.610
Your new favorite person, Ryan Pagnetti, is saying congratulations to
94
00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:29.089
the Chiefs.
95
00:06:29.350 --> 00:06:31.750
Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tyreek will put them over the top.
96
00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:39.699
God, that's a good move for them. Oh, if that's them.
97
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:45.019
And Peg Nettie is saying, not sharing the destination is
98
00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:50.439
peak engagement. Ooh.
99
00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:53.050
Because you didn't report who it was. You just said
100
00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:53.889
he was getting traded.
101
00:06:56.089 --> 00:06:59.009
If that is a move that the Chiefs make, like, because...
102
00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:01.959
Marvin Harrison Jr. right now is a bust. I think
103
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.790
this is going to be a trade that's mutually beneficial.
104
00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:10.750
I don't think it's the right situation for him, and
105
00:07:10.790 --> 00:07:13.649
I think he needs a fresh start. If you get
106
00:07:13.709 --> 00:07:19.389
him with Andy and Pat, we might see why he
107
00:07:19.430 --> 00:07:24.589
was the fourth overall pick in the draft. I think
108
00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:27.420
the kid can play. I think Arizona's just been such
109
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.120
a shit situation.
110
00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:33.399
Yeah. And I heard something, too.
111
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:35.810
I started laughing that if Arizona's number one pick, they
112
00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:39.970
would go after Jeremiah Smith. Are you going to waste
113
00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:44.129
fucking Smith, too? Unreal.
114
00:07:44.589 --> 00:07:45.529
Oh, yeah.
115
00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:48.569
What a waste. What a waste that would fucking be.
116
00:07:50.550 --> 00:07:57.009
Before we go into anything more, I want to, you know,
117
00:07:57.069 --> 00:07:57.579
rest in peace.
118
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.720
Mike Ditka passed away yesterday.
119
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.740
Yes, indeed. I remember when you told me. I was shocked. Dicka,
120
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:10.370
the fucking man. Great player. Hell of a coach.
121
00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:19.110
Had some, I think, how do I say this proper?
122
00:08:21.670 --> 00:08:29.860
He had some, in his later years, had some bad things.
123
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.179
And it was political reasons.
124
00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:35.600
Oh, yes.
125
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:43.379
People started falling off of the Mike Ditka love because
126
00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:43.779
of that.
127
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:54.980
We tend to forget, like, Ditka's from a very old
128
00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:59.909
time period. It's very rare, like, when you get to
129
00:08:59.929 --> 00:09:02.740
your 60s and 70s, you're going to, like, change your feathers.
130
00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:12.379
I mean, I hate politics to begin with, but just remember,
131
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.700
boys and girls, when you have money and you're from
132
00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:25.590
an older generation, they might not have the most all-inclusive
133
00:09:25.669 --> 00:09:29.990
type of views. It's very important to remember like the
134
00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:32.169
time period people grew up and where they are. Um,
135
00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:36.110
I mean, it's not saying if he said anything crazy
136
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:42.029
that he's not an old curmudgeon, but like, especially when
137
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:45.990
you're in the public eye, kind of got to remember where,
138
00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:48.740
like what generation they're from and how they grew up
139
00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:50.419
and what things were like, like you get set in
140
00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:52.529
your ways and you're 60 years old. and you're not changing.
141
00:09:53.370 --> 00:09:55.490
Yeah, yeah.
142
00:09:57.009 --> 00:10:04.200
Let's get into what happened in week four and go
143
00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:11.320
into week five. Let's read off scores and talk about
144
00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:15.350
what you thought of these games. We'll take the Eagles
145
00:10:15.389 --> 00:10:19.360
game out of it. We talked about the Steelers-Browns already.
146
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.639
That was Thursday Night Football. We did the Eagles. Matt,
147
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:32.340
the Colts beat the Washington Commanders over in London. 30-13.
148
00:10:32.429 --> 00:10:42.679
The Commanders quarterback, Athon Kali Kamanis, was playing after a
149
00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:44.179
Marcus Mariota injury.
150
00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.940
Mariota went three for four.
151
00:10:47.149 --> 00:10:55.370
With getting sacked, and then Kyler Kalamanis went 15-33, 186 yards,
152
00:10:55.490 --> 00:10:58.570
one touchdown, one interception. Did you know anything about this
153
00:10:58.649 --> 00:10:59.629
Kyler Kalamanis?
154
00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:03.009
Yeah, he was a seventh-round pick out of Rutgers. He
155
00:11:03.029 --> 00:11:07.529
looks like he's 12 years old. He made a couple
156
00:11:07.549 --> 00:11:10.509
nice throws. They were cooking sauce, Gardner.
157
00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:13.169
If he's 12 years old, maybe he's your son?
158
00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:18.519
No, I'm not Greek. Uh, that's a, that's a very
159
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.039
Greek name.
160
00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:21.159
That's not what I heard about.
161
00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:24.480
That's not what I heard about the Matt Nemo fucking game.
162
00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:28.879
I heard it's a fucking, I heard they call you
163
00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:29.679
the Greek God.
164
00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:35.240
No, sir. Stay away from Greece.
165
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.080
Um, not Japan though, right?
166
00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:42.519
No, no, we're pro Japan. Um, Calic man is, he
167
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:48.470
looked okay for coming in cold. Um, Both of these
168
00:11:48.529 --> 00:11:49.490
teams are slop.
169
00:11:50.169 --> 00:11:50.769
Horrible.
170
00:11:51.429 --> 00:11:56.669
Watch that game Sunday morning. The Colts are slop. The
171
00:11:56.710 --> 00:12:03.580
Commanders are slop. Luckily, you know, and this is what happens. Like,
172
00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:07.899
the kid, the backup comes in, makes a couple plays.
173
00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:14.960
But unless that continues to happen, he's not taking any
174
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.570
reps during the week, so he's barely... trying to function
175
00:12:18.669 --> 00:12:22.230
and keep the offense running. And I don't, the commander's
176
00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:25.870
defense is aggressive and they're playing a little bit better,
177
00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:29.029
but they're, they're not a unit that is like ready
178
00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:34.720
to shut an offense down and, you know, keep that
179
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.279
offense in the game. Even I know they beat Seattle,
180
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.779
but they forced like four turnovers that game. If they're
181
00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:46.419
not doing that, that defense isn't good enough. And, hey,
182
00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:50.700
Mariota gets hurt. And, you know, as expected, after a
183
00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:53.100
couple flash plays, the Colts just kind of settle down
184
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.860
and take over. But both of these teams stink.
185
00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:59.419
Yeah, there was not a lot of action.
186
00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:05.309
No. There's Jonathan Taylor dominating overseas like he always does.
187
00:13:06.029 --> 00:13:07.850
Yes.
188
00:13:10.830 --> 00:13:13.889
And then we had, next up, we had, why does
189
00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:18.429
this stink? The Cowboys beat the Texans 34-30. This game
190
00:13:18.549 --> 00:13:22.850
almost went the other way, which spells trouble for the
191
00:13:22.950 --> 00:13:24.690
Dallas Cowboys' defense.
192
00:13:25.370 --> 00:13:27.120
The Texans had.
193
00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:31.799
Why is this not fucking loading? Okay, I don't know
194
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.039
what's going on. Back when 32-45 for 335 and only
195
00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:38.919
one touchdown, Javante.
196
00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:48.820
Williams, 19... Carries for 62 yards and three touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb,
197
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:54.159
17 catches, 189 yards on 21 targets. Dude, I'll tell
198
00:13:54.179 --> 00:14:01.509
you what. Houston's in trouble, and it's not just they're off.
199
00:14:01.629 --> 00:14:06.769
They can't run the fucking football at all. They cannot
200
00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:10.250
run the football at all. Against Dallas' run defense is horrible.
201
00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:15.090
And as a team last week, Houston had 19 carries
202
00:14:15.129 --> 00:14:20.440
for 62 yards. David Montgomery 10 for 24. Willie Marks
203
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.440
6 for 22 on the touchdown. Nico Collins coming back
204
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.840
helped open up the passing game a little bit, which
205
00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:28.120
is– that's very good.
206
00:14:31.129 --> 00:14:36.169
Speaking of Houston, it looks like– no, it looks like
207
00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:41.929
Schefter is reporting that the team could be– the Houston
208
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.600
Texans– I kept Marvin Harrison.
209
00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:45.820
Wow.
210
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.659
He's saying one team that had really close Marvin Harrison
211
00:14:50.710 --> 00:14:53.370
trade talks with Arizona is Houston. Sources tell him and
212
00:14:53.389 --> 00:14:57.070
Ian Rappaport, Houston has been and is thought to be
213
00:14:57.429 --> 00:15:00.149
square in the mix for Harrison. But as one Texan
214
00:15:00.210 --> 00:15:03.029
source said about the team's interest, I can't confirm or
215
00:15:03.049 --> 00:15:06.080
deny it at this time. Oh, I don't know what
216
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.909
the fuck's going on. What a fucking world. I may
217
00:15:09.009 --> 00:15:15.669
or may have not done that. Dude, imagine talking in that. If, like, you're, like,
218
00:15:15.710 --> 00:15:16.629
you're significant out there.
219
00:15:16.669 --> 00:15:17.350
Did you do that?
220
00:15:18.049 --> 00:15:20.909
I may or may not. What the fuck kind of
221
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:22.220
answer is that?
222
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.620
I don't know what the Texans give up if they get.
223
00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.899
What is that we do? What is that? What's that
224
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.899
we're doing? Giving up the six-round pick? 26.
225
00:15:32.899 --> 00:15:40.379
Houston has six picks in 2027. They have a one, two, three, four, six,
226
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.440
and seven. They have two picks in the seventh round.
227
00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:46.759
What do they have in 2028? We have a lot
228
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:47.860
of 2028.
229
00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:49.090
One, two, three, four, five, and seven. This team is
230
00:15:49.389 --> 00:15:49.690
in trouble.
231
00:16:04.250 --> 00:16:06.389
They don't have draft capital.
232
00:16:07.809 --> 00:16:12.279
I mean, they're really, dude, it's getting bad.
233
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.659
They are ripping that fucking, the way that Schefter put
234
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.200
that out there.
235
00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:24.889
It's all over. Dude, I'm looking on X as we're doing.
236
00:16:24.690 --> 00:16:28.649
The show, and they are just, people are just destroying
237
00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:33.470
Schefter for the wording of that report.
238
00:16:34.409 --> 00:16:37.269
Well, yeah, when you just say they're finalizing a trade,
239
00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:44.389
I mean, that's great, but what's happening? And he doesn't
240
00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:48.679
even know. So he got word from Arizona that they're
241
00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:54.320
trading Marvin Harrison Jr., but he doesn't know. They didn't
242
00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:57.470
tell him the team or what the possible compensation is.
243
00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.210
Nobody knows.
244
00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:03.190
Nobody knows. Yeah.
245
00:17:03.710 --> 00:17:04.309
Horrible.
246
00:17:05.329 --> 00:17:08.599
So at this point, it could be anybody. We just
247
00:17:08.619 --> 00:17:11.279
think Marvin Harrison Jr. is getting traded. Yeah.
248
00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:15.190
And it could also be that he doesn't get traded.
249
00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:19.170
I don't know. He could or could not get traded.
250
00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:19.730
Who knows?
251
00:17:19.769 --> 00:17:19.970
Yes.
252
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.960
So we're going to wait for more information on that.
253
00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:27.269
By the way, just because you see it on Twitter,
254
00:17:27.529 --> 00:17:28.430
I want to put this out there.
255
00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:29.369
We're talking about trades.
256
00:17:29.769 --> 00:17:35.410
Just because you see a hypothetical trade that somebody fucking
257
00:17:35.470 --> 00:17:42.299
makes doesn't mean the person, this is newsflash, Matt, Doesn't
258
00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:45.759
mean that the person that that person is involved in
259
00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:46.680
trade talks.
260
00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:49.710
There is no trade.
261
00:17:49.349 --> 00:17:52.990
Talks between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings trading
262
00:17:53.009 --> 00:17:56.829
Saquon Barkley to the Minnesota Vikings. There is no trade
263
00:17:56.890 --> 00:18:00.490
talks of the Eagles trading Jalen Hurts to the Minnesota Vikings.
264
00:18:02.410 --> 00:18:07.099
No, no, no. Just because they traded Cam Juergens does
265
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.109
not mean the Eagles are packing it in this season
266
00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:16.609
and trading everybody. So just because Johnny Minnesota puts it
267
00:18:16.690 --> 00:18:19.170
out there does not mean it has any inkling of
268
00:18:19.230 --> 00:18:23.380
being true. So people, we should know by now, there's
269
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:28.859
like four trusted sources for national NFL news. If it
270
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:31.579
does not come from one of them, you should know
271
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:40.079
it's just hearsay and speculation. Just like there was a
272
00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:44.799
tweet yesterday from some random Broncos fan account saying that
273
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.980
if Jeremiah Smith somehow fell to the second round, that
274
00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:56.109
Denver should draft him. And Jeff Schwartz retweeted it and said,
275
00:18:56.230 --> 00:19:00.210
I don't know what the hell you're smoking, but yes.
276
00:19:00.349 --> 00:19:04.279
Whatever he's on, whatever good stuff he's on, please just
277
00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:06.319
send it over your way because I would like to
278
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:06.960
feel that way.
279
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:07.930
Yes, me too.
280
00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:08.579
After a long day.
281
00:19:09.309 --> 00:19:14.869
Because, like, a guy commented on it and said, Jeremiah
282
00:19:14.930 --> 00:19:18.410
Smith could show up to the combine drunk with a gun,
283
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.980
and he would still go top five. And I was like, yes.
284
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:23.710
Like, yes.
285
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.220
This guy's not falling past.
286
00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:29.859
He's a generational player. Yeah, he's a generational player. You
287
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.940
put him in that fucking category of Jack. Of Jamar Chase,
288
00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:36.349
you put him in that category of Justin Jefferson.
289
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.069
He's a top 10 wide receiver right now. He was
290
00:19:39.130 --> 00:19:40.930
a top 10 wide receiver two years ago as a
291
00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:41.910
true freshman.
292
00:19:42.569 --> 00:19:46.549
Yeah, so he'll probably be like a top Fantastic. He'll
293
00:19:46.569 --> 00:19:48.710
be a top five wide receiver in the league.
294
00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:51.670
Not even. Yes, yes, yes.
295
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.859
And if not, he'll go down as one of the
296
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.400
biggest busts of all time. But if you draft that.
297
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.700
Kid, you better already have plans for that extension.
298
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.140
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
299
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.059
I'll tell you right now. I'll tell you right now,
300
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:16.230
I would trade the farm to get him. As currently constituted,
301
00:20:16.490 --> 00:20:20.369
I think that is a guy that is worth investing
302
00:20:20.410 --> 00:20:25.470
the draft capital up to get. But, hey, we've got
303
00:20:25.509 --> 00:20:28.230
a long way to go. Only in week five.
304
00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:29.450
Yes.
305
00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:32.680
We also have a lot more games to talk about
306
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.670
and bring those games up. So we did the Cowboys game.
307
00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:39.099
We also had the Bears beat the Jets 23-12.
308
00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:39.809
Yeah, my fucking.
309
00:20:39.829 --> 00:20:46.490
I don't know what the fuck's going on. I had
310
00:20:46.509 --> 00:20:50.829
the stats. Nothing's... I don't know what's fucking... Fuck Yahoo.
311
00:20:50.950 --> 00:20:53.549
I don't know. Can't even click on the player stats.
312
00:20:53.789 --> 00:20:57.789
I don't know.
313
00:20:57.910 --> 00:21:04.599
The Bears scoring drives, other than they had a Probably
314
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.039
close to the end of the half. But their scoring
315
00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:14.640
drives were 7-0-1. 15 plays, 7 minutes for a touchdown.
316
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:22.349
12 plays, 6 minutes for a field goal. 17 plays. Oh, wait.
317
00:21:22.430 --> 00:21:27.890
TTL time. Total time. 7-0-1. 15 plays, 7 minutes. They
318
00:21:27.930 --> 00:21:35.319
ran 17 plays in a minute 44. Oh, okay.
319
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:35.519
Yeah.
320
00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:41.869
That was 10 and a half. Um, 11 plays four
321
00:21:41.910 --> 00:21:45.789
and a half minutes, 11 plays, six minutes, a lot
322
00:21:45.829 --> 00:21:48.950
of long score, 11 plays, 11 plays. So the bears
323
00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:53.990
put some long drives together to score points. The jets
324
00:21:54.009 --> 00:21:58.299
hung around. Um, I mean, they get a late touchdown
325
00:21:58.339 --> 00:22:02.960
with 45 seconds left in the game. Um, to make
326
00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:07.640
it a due possession game. They were down 23-6 late
327
00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:11.509
in the fourth quarter. But the Jets kind of make
328
00:22:11.549 --> 00:22:16.190
you play a little ugly. They just, without Brees Hall,
329
00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:17.769
they're not going to be able to score a lot
330
00:22:17.809 --> 00:22:21.410
of touchdowns. I think that is ultimately the Jets' problem.
331
00:22:21.690 --> 00:22:24.019
The Bears are a good team, and they defended home turf.
332
00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:32.690
Yes. Next up, the Patriots come back. and come and
333
00:22:32.769 --> 00:22:34.730
beat the Buffalo Bills.
334
00:22:34.750 --> 00:22:35.690
29-26.
335
00:22:35.710 --> 00:22:41.950
Thank God Yahoo fucking finally works. Drake May, 269 yards,
336
00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:51.849
three touchdowns, one interception. Yeah, Patriots go 2-2. Buffalo goes
337
00:22:51.990 --> 00:22:52.430
to 3-1.
338
00:22:53.250 --> 00:22:58.720
So the Drake May is a bust. And the sky's
339
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:06.640
falling ends after three weeks. Yeah, hey, very good bounce
340
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.039
back game for him. He also led them in rushing
341
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:15.079
eight of tens for 54 yards. This was a big
342
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.940
win for them. Going on the road and beating Buffaloes
343
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.740
had like three straight home games, which to me is
344
00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:23.460
a little crazy.
345
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.160
How many threes?
346
00:23:25.859 --> 00:23:31.720
Yeah, they opened up in week two, and this week
347
00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:34.440
is the first road game since week one.
348
00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:36.410
Okay.
349
00:23:36.470 --> 00:23:39.569
But that's a big win for the Patriots. I know
350
00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:44.849
it's very early, but that would have dropped them to 1-3.
351
00:23:45.390 --> 00:23:48.329
The Bills would have been 4-0 and had that half-game
352
00:23:48.369 --> 00:23:52.930
advantage in the division. So, yes, although early, that is
353
00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:57.619
a big win. Division games early in this first six
354
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:02.769
weeks are big because you're still trying to figure out
355
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.970
what you are as a team, and you're trying to
356
00:24:07.009 --> 00:24:10.990
be 2-2 through the first four. So you don't want
357
00:24:11.009 --> 00:24:15.089
to just dig the division hole too much. So that's
358
00:24:15.130 --> 00:24:19.740
a big bounce-back win for the Patriots. Bills didn't play bad.
359
00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:22.559
I thought Drake May just, hey, he woke up and
360
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:24.910
stepped up. Made enough plays to win.
361
00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:26.869
Yes.
362
00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:35.960
The Jaguars beat the Bengals 22-17. This gets Jacksonville 3-1.
363
00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:43.200
The Bengals are 2-2. Brett Strange, seven catches, 96 yards
364
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.980
in this game.
365
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:51.440
He is the second. He's like the... Well, he is
366
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:57.059
their second primary target in that offense right now. Jacksonville's
367
00:24:57.099 --> 00:25:06.380
defense is playing very good football right now. They make
368
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.640
you play. They throw a lot at you, and they
369
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.250
make you play. Hey, you're going to have to drive
370
00:25:12.309 --> 00:25:17.410
the ball. The scoring drives for Cincinnati in this game.
371
00:25:18.329 --> 00:25:23.049
Field goal, 16 plays. for 47 yards. Third quarter, they
372
00:25:23.069 --> 00:25:27.089
get a touchdown, 15 plays, 62 yards. The fourth quarter,
373
00:25:27.109 --> 00:25:31.289
when they scored again to make it 22-17, 12 plays,
374
00:25:31.289 --> 00:25:36.009
66 yards. So they are, like what a lot of
375
00:25:36.190 --> 00:25:39.769
defenses do in modern NFL is they want you, they
376
00:25:39.829 --> 00:25:42.819
want the death by a thousand cuts. Because they think
377
00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:45.700
if you're, the longer we make you drive and the
378
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.579
more plays we make you commit and run, you're going
379
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.500
to make a mistake. That's Jacksonville's M.O. on defense. They
380
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.740
have a very good front four. They gave Cincinnati a
381
00:25:56.819 --> 00:26:04.950
lot of problems. And it also didn't help that Jamar
382
00:26:04.990 --> 00:26:07.930
Chase got hurt with a concussion and missed the rest
383
00:26:07.970 --> 00:26:09.309
of the game. I think he got hurt in the
384
00:26:09.349 --> 00:26:13.750
first half. But T. Higgins did go 16 targets, 11 catches,
385
00:26:13.750 --> 00:26:20.940
157 yards. They just– Cincinnati cannot run the ball. And
386
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.299
this is, again, another year where it's shaping up to
387
00:26:25.339 --> 00:26:31.369
be Joe Burr's going to have to throw a shit ton,
388
00:26:31.430 --> 00:26:33.250
take a lot of pressure, take a lot of hits.
389
00:26:33.289 --> 00:26:35.329
He got sacked twice, but he threw. He was 39
390
00:26:35.329 --> 00:26:37.190
of 54 for 428 yards. So the yard's great, but
391
00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:40.099
54 rushing attempts, and they only had 54 pass attempts
392
00:26:40.190 --> 00:26:52.220
and 15 runs.
393
00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:56.920
394
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.619
395
00:27:00.660 --> 00:27:03.549
396
00:27:03.589 --> 00:27:06.470
397
00:27:06.490 --> 00:27:09.430
Yeah, no.
398
00:27:09.630 --> 00:27:14.859
You're 100% right, man.
399
00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:17.380
Next up, we had the.
400
00:27:22.789 --> 00:27:24.309
All of a sudden, I don't know what the hell
401
00:27:24.329 --> 00:27:27.950
is going on here. The Giants beat the Cardinals 36-24.
402
00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:39.599
This fucking Giants team goes to 3-1. Yeah.
403
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.660
Isaiah likely 12 targets in this game, only seven catches.
404
00:27:46.089 --> 00:27:47.970
Yeah, he's their big receiving leader.
405
00:27:48.009 --> 00:27:51.589
Like, I... This Giants team is not fucking good. They're
406
00:27:51.609 --> 00:27:52.690
not good.
407
00:27:52.769 --> 00:27:55.589
If this is a better– the Cardinals aren't good.
408
00:27:56.589 --> 00:27:56.829
No.
409
00:27:57.490 --> 00:28:01.549
Like if the Cardinals are a better football– and that's
410
00:28:01.589 --> 00:28:05.049
the thing. Hey, hats off to the Giants. They haven't
411
00:28:05.089 --> 00:28:08.990
played anyone. Well, the one team they played, the Rams,
412
00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:14.859
they lost. But like Jameis Winston goes 18-29, 250, three touchdowns,
413
00:28:14.890 --> 00:28:17.839
two picks, sacked four times. And they ran the ball
414
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.500
28 times for 87 yards. If you play a good team,
415
00:28:21.539 --> 00:28:24.839
you're not... They're not winning that game. Their defense isn't
416
00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:30.069
great enough to carry them. Harville-Reach had a very good game. Yeah,
417
00:28:30.450 --> 00:28:35.670
I think. Right now, they are capitalizing on the fact
418
00:28:35.710 --> 00:28:38.569
that they're playing a weak schedule. And I think it's
419
00:28:38.630 --> 00:28:41.670
very tough for West Coast teams to come east and
420
00:28:41.710 --> 00:28:48.609
play at 1 o'clock. And... Like, the stats back that up.
421
00:28:49.009 --> 00:28:53.269
So this is, hey, Arizona was up 14-3 after the first,
422
00:28:53.289 --> 00:28:55.930
and then it just kind of fell off after that.
423
00:28:56.809 --> 00:28:59.910
And that's what's going to happen. Like, in these matchups
424
00:28:59.950 --> 00:29:07.359
between bad teams, I always, like, I know I picked Arizona,
425
00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:09.000
but you should favor the home team.
426
00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:18.380
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Hmm, what's going on over here?
427
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.059
I'm, like, having massive issues today with Yahoo. What's going
428
00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:26.880
on here? Ravens over the Titans 24-18. This was too close.
429
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.190
Well, Lamar Jackson didn't play in the second half.
430
00:29:30.750 --> 00:29:31.710
Yes.
431
00:29:32.630 --> 00:29:36.710
And the Titans do their thing where, well, the Ravens
432
00:29:36.730 --> 00:29:38.690
didn't score after the first half. They were up 24-7
433
00:29:38.690 --> 00:29:42.940
at the half. And in the second half, the Titans
434
00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:47.359
score three in the 30th, eight in the fourth. So
435
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:54.160
it makes it a little uglier. But the thing with
436
00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:57.680
the Ravens, I know they went with Huntley. He goes
437
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.279
eight and nine for 63 yards, but Lamar Jackson in
438
00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:04.940
the first half was 15-20 for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
439
00:30:06.410 --> 00:30:11.589
So they basically just tried to play keep away in
440
00:30:11.609 --> 00:30:15.869
the second half. And Tennessee made it a one-score game.
441
00:30:16.150 --> 00:30:19.869
But likely never in doubt. I didn't watch that game.
442
00:30:20.549 --> 00:30:28.640
But Baltimore and their effectiveness on offense, no shock, but
443
00:30:29.470 --> 00:30:33.289
significantly goes down if Lamar Jackson's not on the field.
444
00:30:35.109 --> 00:30:39.490
Blackers over the Bucs, 17-14. Anything on this one?
445
00:30:40.670 --> 00:30:43.819
No. Again, I know the Buccaneers are now 1-4, but
446
00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:48.380
both of these teams stink, and that's what you get.
447
00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:51.460
You get some defense, a couple nice plays, and both
448
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:52.779
teams struggling to move the ball.
449
00:30:55.119 --> 00:31:00.279
Vikings over the Dolphins, 15-10. Another... sloppy game.
450
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:04.369
Yeah. Like the, the Vikings defense isn't giving up points,
451
00:31:04.509 --> 00:31:10.630
but their offense isn't scoring points either. Um, I, I
452
00:31:10.710 --> 00:31:14.170
hate to say like the last two years, last two times,
453
00:31:14.430 --> 00:31:17.470
the Vikings have been good. They're a team. I don't like,
454
00:31:17.690 --> 00:31:21.559
I know, Hey, they're four. No, I don't think they're
455
00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:24.200
a good football team. Still. They're finding ways to win,
456
00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:28.119
which is great, but I don't think they've played a
457
00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:31.049
good team yet either. I think their best win right
458
00:31:31.089 --> 00:31:33.390
now is Green Bay, and I'll tell you right now,
459
00:31:33.410 --> 00:31:34.450
I don't think Green Bay is good.
460
00:31:35.289 --> 00:31:40.009
No. Chiefs over the Raiders, 30-27. Did you get a
461
00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:43.200
chance to watch this game? I was watching this game.
462
00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:45.759
I did watch this game. This game was very good,
463
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:51.500
very entertaining. I'm telling you right now, Patrick Mahomes is back.
464
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.720
He never fucking got hurt. It's fucking insane.
465
00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:57.309
Crazy that he.
466
00:31:59.650 --> 00:32:05.599
He tore his ACL in January, rehabbed, and through four games,
467
00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:08.700
he's played fantastic football.
468
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:13.160
It's wild. It's insane.
469
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:19.329
You've seen guys struggle and not play confidently. He is
470
00:32:19.390 --> 00:32:24.990
playing confidently. And guess what? God forbid Andy Reid. I'm
471
00:32:25.029 --> 00:32:27.329
not going to be shocked if he decides to change.
472
00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:32.839
but I think having Eric B enemy back is helping
473
00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:33.619
this offense.
474
00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.359
Absolutely.
475
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.900
And they are using Kenny Walker and he's been the
476
00:32:42.009 --> 00:32:46.609
best running back in football this year. And you are
477
00:32:46.670 --> 00:32:49.190
seeing there, they don't, they still don't have elite wide
478
00:32:49.210 --> 00:32:53.589
receivers and they're one of their deep threat. Well, I mean,
479
00:32:53.609 --> 00:32:57.450
they're all, they have three wide receivers that are the same, but, uh,
480
00:32:58.880 --> 00:32:59.759
Thornton got hurt.
481
00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:04.920
Yes, disgusting injury. Disgusting injury.
482
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.619
He breaks his foot, breaks his ankle. I don't know
483
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:12.039
what it was. But he was their down-the-field threat. They
484
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:18.960
used Xavier Worthy and Rice horizontally. But this starts to
485
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.299
work when you run the football and have a serious
486
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.279
running threat, and they're using Kenny Walker properly.
487
00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:27.519
Yeah.
488
00:33:29.170 --> 00:33:31.630
If they are one of the teams rumored in the
489
00:33:31.670 --> 00:33:35.049
Marvin Harrison deal, like, look the fuck out, the Chiefs
490
00:33:35.109 --> 00:33:40.549
are back. Because Spaggs has that defense playing well with
491
00:33:41.490 --> 00:33:48.200
a lot of different faces, and they're younger. Like, Mansour
492
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:52.200
Delane's been great for them so far. They still have
493
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.140
Chris Jones there, so they have some veterans on that
494
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.079
defensive side of the ball. But Spags is fantastic, and
495
00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:04.329
their ability to run the ball and that making life
496
00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:08.389
a little bit easier for Patrick Mahomes, they are a
497
00:34:08.610 --> 00:34:12.789
legit dangerous team in the AFC. Again, no shock, but.
498
00:34:12.809 --> 00:34:17.039
I remember when they drafted Delane, people.
499
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:21.800
Were like, oh, this is a... What is the pick?
500
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.699
A pick you didn't need to make... What the fuck
501
00:34:26.739 --> 00:34:28.980
is that called? There's like a word for it. When
502
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.360
there's a pick, like a luxury pick.
503
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:34.639
I don't know if that's the word. Okay. Like they
504
00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:36.159
were like, oh, that's a luxury pick.
505
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.920
But I think it was, I mean, I liked Terrell
506
00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:46.760
a little more than Delane. Yeah. But for how Spaggs
507
00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:49.489
plays defense and the fact that they traded Trent McDuffie,
508
00:34:51.250 --> 00:34:53.829
I think it's perfect because now you have him and
509
00:34:53.949 --> 00:34:59.599
Snead And Snead hasn't been– Snead, since he left Kansas
510
00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:01.929
City the first time, hasn't been as good as he was.
511
00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:09.190
But now you traded McDuffie, who's a fantastic corner, and
512
00:35:09.210 --> 00:35:14.219
now you have Delane to kind of supplement that opposite side,
513
00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:18.380
that opposite starting corner. And he can play the slot
514
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:22.519
a little bit, and he can blitz. That's a spags player.
515
00:35:24.710 --> 00:35:27.949
So I think it's a perfect fit. And it's helped
516
00:35:27.969 --> 00:35:30.530
their defense out. And I do want to give my
517
00:35:31.909 --> 00:35:35.829
little tip of the cat to the Raiders. Kirk Cousins,
518
00:35:37.170 --> 00:35:39.449
I've never been a big fan of his, but that
519
00:35:39.469 --> 00:35:46.030
dude is a baller. And Brock Bowers is stupid.
520
00:35:46.110 --> 00:35:46.949
Are you surprised with him?
521
00:35:48.389 --> 00:35:51.409
I did not. He looks like I'm watching that game
522
00:35:51.429 --> 00:35:58.000
and I'm sitting there going like, he looks healthier than
523
00:35:58.019 --> 00:36:02.050
he ever did in Atlanta. I know Atlanta, when they
524
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.789
signed him, he was coming off the Achilles injury. But
525
00:36:06.150 --> 00:36:12.130
even last year in Atlanta, he looked shot. And I
526
00:36:12.150 --> 00:36:14.510
don't know if this offense is a little quicker for him.
527
00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:20.500
But then again, this game against the Chiefs, he's scrambling hard.
528
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:23.559
He's leaving the pocket. He's keeping his eyes downfield. The
529
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:27.739
guys are working towards the ball. The Raiders are playing
530
00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:31.860
like a formidable football team, which I think is great
531
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:36.179
to see for that franchise. I don't think it holds up.
532
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:41.239
I think this might have started to show people like, hey, look,
533
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:48.000
the Raiders team is not there yet. No, but Cousins
534
00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:54.389
is a great signing because... Mendoza's learning from him. And
535
00:36:54.969 --> 00:37:01.170
he is kind of establishing confidence in a roster that
536
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:07.530
doesn't have supreme talent. And I think the Raiders are
537
00:37:07.610 --> 00:37:10.380
on the upward trajectory. Maybe not this year, but next
538
00:37:10.409 --> 00:37:13.320
year and the years to come. But the signings of
539
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:17.099
Kirk Cousins and N'Kobi Dean are going to be the
540
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.789
foundation changers for for the Raiders. And I think ultimately,
541
00:37:22.510 --> 00:37:25.130
like you're seeing guys play above their skill other than
542
00:37:25.170 --> 00:37:27.349
Brock Bowers. Like Brock Bowers is just that damn good.
543
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:30.900
But other than Brock Bowers, you were seeing guys play
544
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.280
above their normal skill level because I think there's one
545
00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:36.360
guy on each side of the ball to kind of
546
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:41.599
guide that ship and change the culture, which is a huge,
547
00:37:41.820 --> 00:37:45.159
huge thing when you are a franchise like the Raiders
548
00:37:45.179 --> 00:37:48.030
that's been asked since 2003.
549
00:37:48.030 --> 00:37:50.989
I'm hoping that one of these days soon that Schefter
550
00:37:51.050 --> 00:37:54.190
reports something very vague and he reports that Brock Bowers
551
00:37:54.210 --> 00:37:56.949
has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for a fifth-round pick.
552
00:37:57.869 --> 00:37:59.010
That would be great.
553
00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:07.300
Again, we'd be going nuts over Harry Roseman.
554
00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:11.400
Yes. Brock Bowers is probably the best tight end in
555
00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:16.940
football and probably a top-ten receiver in football. That dude is...
556
00:38:17.730 --> 00:38:18.449
Stupid good.
557
00:38:23.050 --> 00:38:26.559
Yeah. You're 100% right.
558
00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:31.380
49ers beat the Broncos 24-14. These Bronco fucking fans. I mean,
559
00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:35.440
the Bronco fans. These fucking Niner fans. And we talked
560
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:36.760
a little bit about it on Thursday.
561
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:39.340
These motherfuckers.
562
00:38:40.460 --> 00:38:43.280
They're bringing up EPA with Brock Purdy because Brock Purdy
563
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.800
leads EPA.
564
00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:48.900
And that's where I wanted to, like... I know that
565
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:53.800
you're not a... You're not a fucking fan. You're not
566
00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:55.699
a fan of fucking Shanahan.
567
00:38:56.300 --> 00:39:01.030
But that EPA thing, man, is really talked about so
568
00:39:01.150 --> 00:39:05.989
much more over this last, like, two years. And fucking, like,
569
00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:08.730
these people talk about it like they know.
570
00:39:08.769 --> 00:39:12.309
And then you, like... you see some people and it's like.
571
00:39:12.449 --> 00:39:16.230
Yeah, you don't know any, like, you don't like, I
572
00:39:16.250 --> 00:39:17.869
know we talked about it a little bit off air,
573
00:39:17.909 --> 00:39:20.590
but like to have that conversation, do you feel the
574
00:39:20.610 --> 00:39:23.820
same way about like people talking about EPA?
575
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:29.300
Yeah. So like three years ago, two years ago, it
576
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.480
was all, like, DVOA when you were talking defense and
577
00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:39.659
OVOA when you were talking offense. And last year, but
578
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:47.329
especially this year, you're really talking about EPA. And I
579
00:39:47.369 --> 00:39:51.190
get it. Like, San Francisco's offense right now. is the
580
00:39:52.590 --> 00:39:57.710
league leader in EPA per play, right? But you know
581
00:39:57.789 --> 00:40:09.880
what helps that? They've given up zero sacks and only 20. Oh,
582
00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:12.860
they have given up the second least amount of quarterback
583
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:19.190
pressures in the league. Atlanta is first with 27, and
584
00:40:19.269 --> 00:40:24.349
San Francisco is second with 29. Pressure percentage is the
585
00:40:24.469 --> 00:40:35.280
lowest in the league. 23.8%. Opponents are blitzing them. Seventh
586
00:40:35.570 --> 00:40:42.340
lowest in the league. They also run... They're only 25%
587
00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:44.920
play action, which is crazy. But when you don't give
588
00:40:45.019 --> 00:40:51.329
up sacks... And you are 11th in time to throw.
589
00:40:52.030 --> 00:40:54.449
And you haven't given up sacks. And your quarterback's been
590
00:40:54.530 --> 00:40:57.829
pressured the second least. Guess what's going to look good?
591
00:40:58.289 --> 00:41:03.769
Your offense. What a fucking shock. What a fucking shock.
592
00:41:05.730 --> 00:41:10.809
And to me, that's the biggest thing. Like, EPA's great.
593
00:41:12.690 --> 00:41:16.710
If you want to look at it. I don't. Dude.
594
00:41:19.170 --> 00:41:23.449
This is my problem with advanced analytics. We want to
595
00:41:23.550 --> 00:41:24.829
grade everything by.
596
00:41:25.510 --> 00:41:30.769
I really like when you talk about advanced analytics.
597
00:41:30.849 --> 00:41:38.760
EPA is definitely advanced analytics. To me, I used to
598
00:41:38.780 --> 00:41:42.780
get into arguments on Reddit when it comes to baseball
599
00:41:42.820 --> 00:41:48.019
because they would talk about WRC and all these advanced analytics.
600
00:41:48.550 --> 00:41:51.449
And when you talk to nerds about basketball, they're talking
601
00:41:51.469 --> 00:41:58.980
about VORP and whatnot. So I get the premise of EPA.
602
00:41:59.820 --> 00:42:03.099
Every play has an impact on what the projection of
603
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:07.880
points for that drive is supposed to be. But we
604
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.139
look at these things in a vacuum and just go like, oh,
605
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:16.320
look at that. That's the highest EPA. That's great. Yes.
606
00:42:16.619 --> 00:42:20.130
Why their EPA is so high. is because they're getting
607
00:42:20.469 --> 00:42:25.349
elite pass protection right now. And when your quarterback isn't
608
00:42:25.389 --> 00:42:31.750
getting pressured, isn't getting sacked, isn't getting hit, guess what's
609
00:42:31.789 --> 00:42:34.090
going to happen? You're going to be able to pass
610
00:42:34.110 --> 00:42:37.119
the ball, and your EPA is going to be soaring
611
00:42:37.219 --> 00:42:41.960
off the charts. So instead of, oh, it's Brock Purdy,
612
00:42:42.019 --> 00:42:44.539
it's this dude, their offensive line so far through the
613
00:42:44.579 --> 00:42:49.559
first four weeks is dominating. That's why... They are so good,
614
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:55.039
especially through the air. And it also helps that they're
615
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:56.760
fourth in the league in rushing right now.
616
00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:00.139
Yeah.
617
00:43:00.659 --> 00:43:06.360
They're averaging 137 yards per game. Their success rate's 47%. So, yes,
618
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:11.780
their offensive line is playing fantastic football right now, and
619
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.579
that is why their offense is humming so much. If
620
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:16.559
you get pressure on the quarterback and you start hitting
621
00:43:16.579 --> 00:43:19.940
the quarterback, That stuff's going to start to decrease. So
622
00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:21.139
I don't know if they're going to be able to
623
00:43:21.179 --> 00:43:28.320
maintain this. They've had a couple easier opponents in there. But, hey,
624
00:43:28.380 --> 00:43:33.699
they're doing a very good job. But, like, hey, if
625
00:43:33.739 --> 00:43:38.960
your offensive line blocks and wins, guess what? Your EPA
626
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.059
is going to start to flourish. So let's just go, like, hey,
627
00:43:42.099 --> 00:43:43.980
their offensive line is playing great ball right now.
628
00:43:47.630 --> 00:43:52.340
Next up was the Seahawks, 30-23 over the Chargers. The
629
00:43:52.429 --> 00:43:57.920
Chargers fall to 0-4. Is the fucking Chargers team going
630
00:43:57.940 --> 00:43:58.480
to get a victory?
631
00:43:58.500 --> 00:44:10.829
I'm winning this week, I think. Yeah. They're bad, though. They...
632
00:44:10.469 --> 00:44:15.070
And look, guess what? It's more of the same. So
633
00:44:15.110 --> 00:44:20.260
they have... They have Nerd Boy... But everything is more
634
00:44:20.300 --> 00:44:25.429
of the same. Because look at their pressure. They've given
635
00:44:25.610 --> 00:44:30.809
up 64 pressures. They have a 9.1% sack rate. Quarterback
636
00:44:30.849 --> 00:44:36.250
pressure percentage is 44. They're getting blitzed 23% of the time.
637
00:44:37.449 --> 00:44:39.840
Herbert only has two and a half seconds to throw.
638
00:44:40.070 --> 00:44:48.579
That is fourth lowest in the league. So it's more
639
00:44:48.619 --> 00:44:51.400
of the same. They tried to address the offensive line,
640
00:44:51.889 --> 00:44:58.809
and it's not working. They're 10th in the league in
641
00:44:58.869 --> 00:45:06.480
rushing right now, which, okay, that's okay. But I think
642
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:11.119
we're going to look at the Chargers, and it's what
643
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:15.070
we've talked about within the last, like, three years. Their
644
00:45:15.110 --> 00:45:21.989
roster construction, they have ignored wide receiver other than Ladd McConkie.
645
00:45:22.010 --> 00:45:26.710
And we just watched it a week ago. When you're
646
00:45:26.789 --> 00:45:30.110
running these wide receivers that can't get open or the
647
00:45:30.130 --> 00:45:34.110
quarterback can't rely on, you're not able to pass the
648
00:45:34.150 --> 00:45:40.849
ball effectively and consistently. And you get bad quarterback play.
649
00:45:43.190 --> 00:45:46.530
You can't protect and you don't have weapons for the
650
00:45:46.610 --> 00:45:50.710
quarterback that the quarterback can rely on. Your passing offense
651
00:45:51.170 --> 00:45:54.070
is not going to be consistent or do anything great.
652
00:45:55.510 --> 00:45:58.400
And that's been the Chargers MO for three years now.
653
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.320
You know what? They should be going after Marvin Harrison.
654
00:46:05.500 --> 00:46:08.679
And if I'm a Chargers fan and wherever the hell
655
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:13.389
he ends up. But if there's not a the Chargers
656
00:46:13.469 --> 00:46:17.969
were this close to landing Marvin Harrison or the Chargers
657
00:46:17.989 --> 00:46:23.070
were really actively pursuing Marvin Harrison Jr., I would be
658
00:46:23.329 --> 00:46:27.769
fucking pissed at the front office. Because your wide receiving
659
00:46:27.829 --> 00:46:33.469
quarter has sucked for three years, four years, five years,
660
00:46:35.750 --> 00:46:38.949
and you have not done a damn thing to try
661
00:46:39.010 --> 00:46:39.630
to fix it.
662
00:46:41.949 --> 00:46:46.030
They're worse than Baltimore when it comes to the fucking, like,
663
00:46:46.670 --> 00:46:48.150
I used to get on Baltimore about that.
664
00:46:48.449 --> 00:46:51.159
Yes. And, yeah, hey. They're way worse.
665
00:46:51.340 --> 00:46:56.030
Baltimore's really got Zay Flowers and Bateman and they're trying, well, dude,
666
00:46:56.099 --> 00:46:59.199
it sucks that Kobe Lane got hurt. But, like, they
667
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.760
drafted a couple different bodied receivers this past year to
668
00:47:02.780 --> 00:47:09.139
try to add some difference and some variety to the
669
00:47:09.179 --> 00:47:12.119
receiving corps. We've talked about it at the Green Bay.
670
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:17.480
Everyone's the same. This charge is receiving quarters. Ladd McConkie,
671
00:47:17.539 --> 00:47:21.139
who is your, I hate to say, he is your, like,
672
00:47:22.179 --> 00:47:26.710
Ladd McConkie would thrive with Brady and Peyton Manning. Those
673
00:47:26.730 --> 00:47:33.829
guys took those prototypical white slot receivers and found ways
674
00:47:33.949 --> 00:47:36.769
to get them into space, let them get deep shots
675
00:47:36.809 --> 00:47:41.800
down the field from time to time. McConkie's good. So
676
00:47:41.820 --> 00:47:44.030
they go, we have this guy, now let's just put
677
00:47:44.110 --> 00:47:48.070
speed around him. With Quentin Johnson and everything like that.
678
00:47:48.110 --> 00:47:51.429
But those guys can't run routes and they have no hands.
679
00:47:53.550 --> 00:47:58.420
And guess what? The NFL's not a track meet. Defenses
680
00:47:58.460 --> 00:48:02.739
sit in two high safeties, take all the deep shit away,
681
00:48:02.860 --> 00:48:05.820
and you rarely get one-on-one opportunities.
682
00:48:07.590 --> 00:48:10.469
They have a receiving core.
683
00:48:11.050 --> 00:48:12.829
You might get it two or three times a game.
684
00:48:13.449 --> 00:48:16.789
They have a receiving core that the Kansas City Chiefs
685
00:48:16.809 --> 00:48:21.309
won their first two Super Bowls with. Where it was
686
00:48:21.349 --> 00:48:24.269
Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill trying to take the top
687
00:48:24.309 --> 00:48:28.590
off the defense. And then guess what? It's been 10
688
00:48:28.590 --> 00:48:33.579
years since that worked. And the Chargers front office is
689
00:48:33.619 --> 00:48:35.800
sitting here going, oh, it'll work, it'll work, it'll work.
690
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:36.840
No.
691
00:48:38.190 --> 00:48:40.429
You don't have a great tight end option. I'm sorry,
692
00:48:40.469 --> 00:48:42.250
Rhonda Gadsden had a nice year last year.
693
00:48:42.269 --> 00:48:43.590
He's not that great.
694
00:48:44.550 --> 00:48:46.860
He's not that great. Your offensive line can't block him.
695
00:48:46.900 --> 00:48:48.320
You don't have wide receivers.
696
00:48:49.059 --> 00:48:50.739
They still think they have Antonio Gates.
697
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:58.699
Yes. And, like, it's, dude, half of these teams' problems
698
00:48:58.760 --> 00:48:59.900
is roster construction.
699
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:03.619
Yeah, it's so, dude, it's so.
700
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:07.030
I don't know what these GMs think. I mean, hey.
701
00:49:08.219 --> 00:49:10.829
We'll call Howie out for it.
702
00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:12.570
We talked about this yesterday off air.
703
00:49:12.630 --> 00:49:16.769
Like, they get politic into these spots and then there's,
704
00:49:16.789 --> 00:49:22.309
there's no fucking like, there's no room for like people
705
00:49:22.369 --> 00:49:23.829
to advance. No.
706
00:49:24.570 --> 00:49:27.210
Unless you become like one of them.
707
00:49:27.230 --> 00:49:32.179
And it's like, yeah, you're not like, you're not, you're
708
00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:35.360
not bringing new minds.
709
00:49:34.940 --> 00:49:38.780
To the table that way. You're just, you're continuing to
710
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:39.239
kind of.
711
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:48.550
Be, stagnant and you're continuing to be comfortable with what
712
00:49:48.590 --> 00:49:52.530
you're doing as an organization yep and it's like well
713
00:49:52.550 --> 00:49:57.780
that's not that's not the long-term answer it's an answer
714
00:49:57.820 --> 00:50:01.519
because you like the people you're working with not like
715
00:50:01.739 --> 00:50:09.619
you you're afraid to make a jump into the the
716
00:50:09.699 --> 00:50:11.960
next era of your football team.
717
00:50:12.340 --> 00:50:12.519
Yep.
718
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:14.119
If that makes any sense.
719
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:18.750
Like, I think some of these teams, like, you've seen Philly, like,
720
00:50:20.409 --> 00:50:23.829
you see teams, we talk about teams trying new things
721
00:50:23.889 --> 00:50:24.869
and doing different things.
722
00:50:26.010 --> 00:50:28.349
I've always said the Eagles have been last to the party.
723
00:50:28.469 --> 00:50:31.130
They want to wait until all the kinks are fucking,
724
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:35.239
are done first.
725
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:38.260
They don't want to be the ones that control that.
726
00:50:38.769 --> 00:50:41.010
They want somebody else to be– they want other people
727
00:50:41.050 --> 00:50:43.719
to make the mistakes, and then they want to be
728
00:50:43.780 --> 00:50:45.960
able to say, hey, like, this is how they fixed
729
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:46.519
that mistake.
730
00:50:46.639 --> 00:50:48.079
Okay, we'll do that next time.
731
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.030
And the Chargers just– I'm trying to look through their
732
00:50:57.050 --> 00:51:03.130
draft this year. Brennan Thompson, another just, like, short speed guy.
733
00:51:04.340 --> 00:51:12.610
That– Their, like, wide receiver room is a Madden roster.
734
00:51:15.250 --> 00:51:22.889
It's not an NFL wide receiver room. That's all it is.
735
00:51:22.909 --> 00:51:33.409
That's all it is. Like, they drafted, like, okay, they
736
00:51:33.449 --> 00:51:34.940
go Akeem Mazzador in round one.
737
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:36.099
Yeah.
738
00:51:37.090 --> 00:51:42.070
Okay. I don't hate that pick. But, like, Casey Conception
739
00:51:42.250 --> 00:51:47.050
was there. Like, he would have fit in nice. Nice
740
00:51:47.070 --> 00:51:50.809
little space eater. Especially in this offense where you have
741
00:51:50.849 --> 00:51:56.139
Nerd Boy. I don't know. Yes, they have a mad
742
00:51:56.199 --> 00:52:00.500
in wide receiver room. And that doesn't play well into
743
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:02.360
actual NFL football.
744
00:52:04.019 --> 00:52:04.730
No, not at all.
745
00:52:09.670 --> 00:52:16.739
I really, yeah, I want to see what they do
746
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:21.300
this coming offseason. I know it's early, but it's this season.
747
00:52:21.469 --> 00:52:28.750
But moving on, we have a few more games. Getting
748
00:52:28.789 --> 00:52:30.130
into some really good conversation, though.
749
00:52:30.150 --> 00:52:35.909
So, Panthers over the line, Pam and Matt. I am
750
00:52:35.949 --> 00:52:40.010
saying this right. The Panthers beat the Lions.
751
00:52:40.010 --> 00:52:51.440
32 to 26 in Carolina. What in the blue hell
752
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:56.500
is that Detroit Lions defense doing? And if you were
753
00:52:56.539 --> 00:52:59.090
the Lions, would you fire Kelvin Shepard?
754
00:52:59.110 --> 00:53:07.059
I would think about it. Um, I don't even necessarily
755
00:53:07.099 --> 00:53:08.039
know if it's his fault.
756
00:53:10.059 --> 00:53:11.880
He's taking a lot of slack. He's taking a lot
757
00:53:11.940 --> 00:53:12.340
of shit.
758
00:53:13.489 --> 00:53:18.570
Dude, right now they're starting Christian Isian at corner. I've
759
00:53:18.610 --> 00:53:22.530
never been a big Christian Isian guy. Um, former Tampa
760
00:53:22.550 --> 00:53:28.690
Bay Buccaneer. Look, they hit on McNeil. They hit on
761
00:53:28.730 --> 00:53:40.170
Jack Campbell. They hit on, obviously, um, Aiden Hutchinson. They
762
00:53:40.210 --> 00:53:43.710
don't have anything else. They have Aleem McNeil, Aiden Hutchinson,
763
00:53:44.409 --> 00:53:54.289
Jack Campbell, and... Dion Pranch is hurt. Or Brian Pranch
764
00:53:54.349 --> 00:53:58.250
is hurt. Dion Pranch. That's a throwback. They don't have
765
00:53:58.309 --> 00:54:03.550
anything else. That's all they have. Ennis Raikstraw is not good.
766
00:54:03.610 --> 00:54:09.900
Malcolm Rodriguez is an okay linebacker. They don't have anything else.
767
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:14.280
And they hit that one draft. They go Jameer Gibbs.
768
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:20.179
They get Campbell. Everything's fine. They haven't hit on defense
769
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:24.840
since Branch. I think Branch was the year after. Yeah.
770
00:54:26.909 --> 00:54:34.050
And Shepard's going to be the fall guy. But that's
771
00:54:34.110 --> 00:54:40.590
a problem. And I get they have offensive weapons, too. But, dude,
772
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:48.760
they're up. It was tie game at halftime. They got
773
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.239
outscored by 10 in the third quarter, 13-3. But it's
774
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.099
a one-possession game. Let me just look at the touchdowns here.
775
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:55.730
So it was 32-19. It was 29-19. 19-22.
776
00:54:55.719 --> 00:55:09.400
So their defense can't get stops. But these are... Look,
777
00:55:09.420 --> 00:55:15.460
you have Jameer Gibbs. He gets 15 rushing attempts. And
778
00:55:16.179 --> 00:55:21.820
you throw the ball 52 times. Golf was 32 of 52.
779
00:55:22.739 --> 00:55:26.239
You have Jameer Gibbs. I get... Hey, Carolina did a
780
00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.920
good job. Three yards per carry. Gibbs was 15 for
781
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:33.429
46 in the touchdown. And his long was only 13 yards.
782
00:55:35.389 --> 00:55:35.590
But.
783
00:55:37.059 --> 00:55:44.139
You have to be balanced. And you see in Cincinnati, Detroit,
784
00:55:44.820 --> 00:55:50.110
some of these teams just get so pass heavy that
785
00:55:50.630 --> 00:55:55.730
you kind of take yourself out of the game. Especially
786
00:55:55.750 --> 00:55:59.690
when you can't get stuff. Help your defense out. Take
787
00:55:59.730 --> 00:56:05.179
some time off the clock. If my defense sucks, think
788
00:56:05.219 --> 00:56:07.559
of it the same way. Tampa Bay went into the
789
00:56:07.619 --> 00:56:11.119
Thursday night game going, Dallas' offense is explosive, so what
790
00:56:11.139 --> 00:56:15.079
do we do? We limit their possessions. Let's play time
791
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:19.880
of possession. Let's try to put longer drives together. If
792
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:23.900
my defense sucks, how do I help them out as
793
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:29.440
an offense? Obviously scoring touchdowns, but put some drives together
794
00:56:29.460 --> 00:56:30.820
and take some time off the clock.
795
00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:32.000
Yeah.
796
00:56:33.539 --> 00:56:37.690
If your defense, and it's why... It's why, what have
797
00:56:37.730 --> 00:56:40.750
we seen like so far this season with the Eagles defense?
798
00:56:41.809 --> 00:56:45.369
The fourth quarter, they start to wear down. Why? Yeah.
799
00:56:45.389 --> 00:56:47.650
Because once the second half starts and once the third
800
00:56:47.710 --> 00:56:50.150
quarter starts, offense is three and out, three and out,
801
00:56:50.190 --> 00:56:51.570
three and out, three and out, three and out.
802
00:56:52.670 --> 00:56:52.789
Yeah.
803
00:56:53.210 --> 00:56:56.639
And when your defense, yes, halves are 30 minutes, but
804
00:56:56.659 --> 00:56:58.719
when your defense is on the field for 20 or
805
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:03.480
30 minutes, you're going to get tired and you're going
806
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:08.909
to give up big plays. And I think that is
807
00:57:08.989 --> 00:57:11.190
ultimately one of the biggest things. And these teams don't
808
00:57:11.269 --> 00:57:16.050
fucking care about it. But I have to hear how
809
00:57:16.090 --> 00:57:20.289
good of a coach Dan Campbell is. Week in and
810
00:57:20.309 --> 00:57:24.989
week out. And they were 4-12 on third down. That's
811
00:57:25.030 --> 00:57:25.670
pretty horrible.
812
00:57:27.510 --> 00:57:28.909
But Dan Campbell's a great head coach.
813
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:30.619
Yeah, he's a great head coach.
814
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:34.420
But Nick Sirianni is a horrible head coach.
815
00:57:35.309 --> 00:57:40.449
Yeah, and he's fucking terrible. Fire him. Get rid of him.
816
00:57:40.469 --> 00:57:43.309
Put him in outer space. He's terrible.
817
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:51.500
Let Howie hire a fifth head coach. Can't wait for
818
00:57:51.539 --> 00:57:53.980
them to eventually move on from Nick Sirianni.
819
00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:54.579
That's right.
820
00:57:55.619 --> 00:57:57.409
I'm going to hold you to that time when you
821
00:57:57.469 --> 00:58:00.070
said that you would lose your shit if Howie gets
822
00:58:00.090 --> 00:58:01.789
to hire a fifth head coach.
823
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:06.219
I know we have one more game to talk about,
824
00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.820
so you know what? I'll save that. I'll save that
825
00:58:08.860 --> 00:58:10.139
for when we get into this.
826
00:58:10.420 --> 00:58:15.010
Discussion with the Jags. Yes.
827
00:58:16.989 --> 00:58:20.869
And the Falcons beat the shit out of the New
828
00:58:20.929 --> 00:58:27.659
Orleans Saints 45-24. They had five rushing touchdowns.
829
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:34.300
Bijan had two. Brian Robinson Jr. had three. Oh, and
830
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:37.409
then they had a passing touchdown for Michael Penix. Two.
831
00:58:38.349 --> 00:58:39.269
Johan Dotson.
832
00:58:40.170 --> 00:58:43.230
Eagles Hall of Famer. Johan Dotson.
833
00:58:44.630 --> 00:58:48.590
They averaged five, six yards per carry on the ground.
834
00:58:49.300 --> 00:58:52.340
Any former player, we're just going to start calling them
835
00:58:52.460 --> 00:58:53.519
Hall of Famers.
836
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:59.179
This roster is amazing. Johan Dotson. Eagles Hall of Famer.
837
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:03.179
She just fucking retired from Jersey already.
838
00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:04.599
Oh, yes.
839
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:10.639
Yes. Atlanta's defense has played some very good football so
840
00:59:10.659 --> 00:59:15.440
far this year. Their offensive line and their run game
841
00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:18.380
is spectacular.
842
00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:23.710
Ridiculous. Average six yards per carry in this game.
843
00:59:24.550 --> 00:59:27.869
New Orleans doesn't have a defense and they don't have
844
00:59:27.889 --> 00:59:31.550
a run game, so you're forced You forced New Orleans
845
00:59:31.590 --> 00:59:34.739
to have to throw the ball, and they just did
846
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:38.400
not have enough. Like, dude, Penix is doing a– see,
847
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:41.559
this is why I was so pissed off at them
848
00:59:41.579 --> 00:59:47.179
when they signed Tua. Tua does nothing for you. He sucks.
849
00:59:47.320 --> 00:59:50.409
He sucks. And I know I kind of am a
850
00:59:50.409 --> 00:59:51.329
little bit– Let me know how you.
851
00:59:51.250 --> 00:59:52.409
Really feel about him, Matt.
852
00:59:52.510 --> 00:59:54.010
He sucks.
853
00:59:55.449 --> 00:59:55.590
Okay.
854
00:59:56.050 --> 00:59:58.110
And I know I'm a little bit of a Penix guy.
855
00:59:59.260 --> 01:00:01.710
But you see that they can already run the ball,
856
01:00:01.750 --> 01:00:06.889
but Penix can actually throw the ball. He's got a
857
01:00:06.889 --> 01:00:09.650
little arm strength. He can throw it downfield. He can
858
01:00:09.690 --> 01:00:13.530
stretch the defense out a little bit. He's mobile enough.
859
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:22.659
I don't know. I don't know why they ever went
860
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:25.800
into it going like, Tua's going to be our starter. Like, yes,
861
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:29.340
Penix was hurt. coming off a rehab from the ACL injury,
862
01:00:29.380 --> 01:00:36.800
but like... If Tua's starting, they're not winning these games
863
01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:40.849
because Tua can't... You would be allowed to just key
864
01:00:40.989 --> 01:00:45.449
in on the run. And I know Bijan's fantastic. But
865
01:00:45.469 --> 01:00:51.849
when you have no threat of passing, defenses will stop
866
01:00:51.869 --> 01:00:58.800
the run. Panics will... defenses to not be able to
867
01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:03.719
just stack the box and focus on stopping Robinson and
868
01:01:03.739 --> 01:01:08.139
Robinson because Penix will beat you. He's good enough to
869
01:01:08.179 --> 01:01:11.440
do that. And you've seen over the last three weeks
870
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:15.630
since Penix got into the starting lineup, they actually have
871
01:01:15.670 --> 01:01:21.429
a passing attack now. Drake London's viable. Pitts might eventually
872
01:01:21.469 --> 01:01:22.989
wake up. I know he had three for 47. They
873
01:01:23.230 --> 01:01:31.139
benched him. Yeah, Pitts isn't good, but he's due for
874
01:01:31.179 --> 01:01:34.550
a 100-yard, two-touchdown game in the next month or two.
875
01:01:34.570 --> 01:01:40.710
That's what he does. But Penix being the quarterback actually
876
01:01:41.710 --> 01:01:44.510
gives defenses like, oh, hey, we have to defend the pass,
877
01:01:44.590 --> 01:01:48.639
and we can't just put nine guys in the box. Yeah.
878
01:01:48.659 --> 01:01:58.329
Yeah. That was your week four.
879
01:01:58.349 --> 01:02:00.929
That was your week four recap.
880
01:02:01.789 --> 01:02:06.550
And now we got week five. We did the Eagles. No,
881
01:02:06.570 --> 01:02:09.750
we did the Eagles. We did the Cowboys Bucks earlier.
882
01:02:10.630 --> 01:02:15.199
And now we go into Eagles and the Jags live
883
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:21.920
in London, 9.30 in the morning. Matt, you said you
884
01:02:21.940 --> 01:02:27.059
wanted to kind of... Get into something. So maybe lead
885
01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:30.800
with that, unless you want to put that somewhere else.
886
01:02:32.539 --> 01:02:32.780
Yeah.
887
01:02:32.900 --> 01:02:36.070
Obviously, this week for the Eagles has been a little wild.
888
01:02:36.429 --> 01:02:41.650
You have Lane Johnson retiring. You trade Cam Juergens. I
889
01:02:41.949 --> 01:02:48.219
was listening to PHLY's pod yesterday, and they're talking about
890
01:02:48.570 --> 01:02:55.199
roster constructions. And, oh, and they released Andy Dalton yesterday.
891
01:02:55.679 --> 01:03:01.050
But they're talking about roster construction. They don't, like, and
892
01:03:01.929 --> 01:03:07.710
Denise Settleman was talking about how he and this franchise
893
01:03:07.730 --> 01:03:13.639
has prided themselves on the trenches being the, like, anchors
894
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:14.360
of the team.
895
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:15.900
Yeah.
896
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:24.949
I think the defensive line... The talent is there. It's
897
01:03:24.989 --> 01:03:30.980
just not happening right now. And I do think if
898
01:03:31.019 --> 01:03:35.019
Jonathan Grenard can stay healthy, I do think you will
899
01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:41.130
start to see this pressure rate start to get home.
900
01:03:42.349 --> 01:03:49.159
Because the Eagles are getting pressures. They're average pressures. They're average.
901
01:03:49.179 --> 01:03:53.440
They're 35, they're 36% pressure rate. They have 54 quarterback pressures.
902
01:03:53.460 --> 01:03:59.219
They're just not, they're not getting home. And I do
903
01:03:59.380 --> 01:04:03.650
think that will be able, I think if Grenard can
904
01:04:03.690 --> 01:04:06.130
stay healthy, that will change and you will start to
905
01:04:06.190 --> 01:04:10.849
see this defense start to get consistent pressure on the
906
01:04:10.909 --> 01:04:15.239
quarterback and whatnot, and I think that will improve. I
907
01:04:15.340 --> 01:04:19.230
do think, though... Roster construction of this offensive line and
908
01:04:19.250 --> 01:04:21.610
what they bring in on game day has been a problem.
909
01:04:22.269 --> 01:04:24.639
And it's what we've talked about on air and off air.
910
01:04:25.389 --> 01:04:33.760
But they thought... They built a great offensive line.
911
01:04:34.940 --> 01:04:35.219
Yeah.
912
01:04:36.579 --> 01:04:42.579
But we have sat there talking about how, especially Landon
913
01:04:43.059 --> 01:04:47.119
and Cam... after the playoff run, after the Super Bowl win,
914
01:04:47.780 --> 01:04:53.480
were so banged up. And they have not invested. Markel
915
01:04:53.519 --> 01:04:56.059
Bell being a third-round pick is the highest they've spent
916
01:04:56.679 --> 01:05:00.269
on an offensive lineman in the draft since Cam Juergens.
917
01:05:00.289 --> 01:05:02.369
Cam Juergens was a second-round pick, but that was like
918
01:05:02.409 --> 01:05:06.110
a year. You knew Kelsey had one year left. And
919
01:05:06.130 --> 01:05:07.429
Kelsey told them to pick him.
920
01:05:08.309 --> 01:05:08.610
Yes.
921
01:05:08.849 --> 01:05:14.909
But you cannot continue anywhere not... Proud of your offensive line.
922
01:05:15.570 --> 01:05:18.849
No matter who your fucking offensive line coach is.
923
01:05:19.769 --> 01:05:20.590
Oh boy, here we go.
924
01:05:20.590 --> 01:05:24.199
When you just draft fifth, sixth, and seventh round guys
925
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:30.760
and steal a guy from a practice squad here and there. So,
926
01:05:30.780 --> 01:05:34.059
it kind of makes sense for two years why this
927
01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:39.440
offensive line sucked. Because it was, I already did my
928
01:05:39.500 --> 01:05:41.780
job and I built this line and it won us
929
01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:47.889
a Super Bowl. And much like it was in 2018,
930
01:05:47.889 --> 01:05:53.150
where I think Howie smelled himself. And in this league,
931
01:05:54.030 --> 01:06:02.099
with so many offenses running a Shanahan family system, you
932
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:08.119
want to do this, but you've ignored offensive line for
933
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:14.349
three years. And you... didn't invest heavily in the tight
934
01:06:14.429 --> 01:06:19.210
end room. And now we're wondering why we're going to
935
01:06:19.250 --> 01:06:23.170
more three wide receiver sets and why this offense doesn't
936
01:06:23.230 --> 01:06:27.900
look and, oh, Mannion versus Sirianni and this. They don't
937
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:31.719
have the roster to run the scheme that they want
938
01:06:31.739 --> 01:06:39.079
to run. And I think this is an awakening for them.
939
01:06:39.099 --> 01:06:42.329
I hope you're right. I hope you're right.
940
01:06:42.510 --> 01:06:45.920
It might luck out. It might luck out. I like
941
01:06:45.980 --> 01:06:48.739
Willie Lampkin. I think Drew Kendall's played good. I know
942
01:06:48.780 --> 01:06:54.619
he's out this week. But younger, fresh, more athletic offensive
943
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:58.869
linemen for this scheme might save the season.
944
01:07:00.909 --> 01:07:02.690
Yeah, I have to see it. I have to see
945
01:07:02.710 --> 01:07:03.170
what happens.
946
01:07:03.889 --> 01:07:08.710
But if it doesn't work out, I really do think
947
01:07:08.750 --> 01:07:11.610
we need to point the finger and go, you cannot–
948
01:07:12.179 --> 01:07:17.079
Andy Reid would draft offensive linemen second round, third round,
949
01:07:17.159 --> 01:07:22.300
fourth round every single year. And the Eagles offensive line,
950
01:07:22.340 --> 01:07:26.159
whether they had injuries or not, was everyone a hit? No.
951
01:07:26.909 --> 01:07:31.170
But they had depth. And I do think this offensive
952
01:07:31.190 --> 01:07:33.190
line is deeper than it's been the last two years.
953
01:07:34.889 --> 01:07:38.849
But we knew for three, four years that Lane Johnson
954
01:07:38.889 --> 01:07:47.420
was getting ready to retire. We knew last year that
955
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:53.179
Landon Dickerson and Cam Juergens were injured, and they ignored it.
956
01:07:53.980 --> 01:07:56.699
They ignored it. Both of those guys.
957
01:07:57.260 --> 01:07:58.500
Disservice. Disservice.
958
01:07:58.539 --> 01:08:03.579
It's a disservice to that offense. It's a disservice to
959
01:08:03.619 --> 01:08:06.340
that team. It's a disservice to Nick. It's a disservice
960
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:09.659
to Jalen. It's a disservice to Saquon Barkley. It's a
961
01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:15.829
disservice to Vic Fangio. They ignored the offensive line for, like,
962
01:08:15.909 --> 01:08:19.140
the last three or four years. And last year it
963
01:08:19.180 --> 01:08:21.260
bit them, and they didn't learn from it.
964
01:08:23.140 --> 01:08:27.659
Yeah. It's frustrating.
965
01:08:28.300 --> 01:08:31.510
It's very frustrating. And I get you needed, you were
966
01:08:31.550 --> 01:08:33.630
going to need a wide receiver because you were going
967
01:08:33.670 --> 01:08:38.489
to trade A.J. Brown. Yeah. But you had offensive linemen. Like,
968
01:08:38.510 --> 01:08:41.729
they had Max Ehanachor fall in their lap.
969
01:08:42.979 --> 01:08:43.859
When they didn't take him.
970
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:46.880
No, when they traded up for Mekhi Lemon.
971
01:08:46.899 --> 01:08:48.399
Yeah.
972
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:49.840
And Max could.
973
01:08:49.699 --> 01:08:53.149
Have stored it in a car. I don't know.
974
01:08:53.170 --> 01:09:00.659
I don't know. That's like a fucking like you need both.
975
01:09:00.859 --> 01:09:02.100
You knew you needed both.
976
01:09:02.739 --> 01:09:03.060
Yes.
977
01:09:03.220 --> 01:09:04.420
You needed a tackle.
978
01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:08.399
After Jordan Tyson got drafted, there wasn't a first round
979
01:09:08.430 --> 01:09:09.510
wide receiver on the board.
980
01:09:10.609 --> 01:09:11.010
Yeah.
981
01:09:11.390 --> 01:09:13.489
You kind of, you kind of did what the Eagles
982
01:09:13.510 --> 01:09:15.430
did in, in the second round.
983
01:09:15.449 --> 01:09:16.010
Yes.
984
01:09:16.130 --> 01:09:18.149
Where it hurts when these drafted hurts. You kind of
985
01:09:18.170 --> 01:09:25.140
did this. Not, The reach The reach portion.
986
01:09:25.420 --> 01:09:29.069
And if you're going to take a wide receiver Casey
987
01:09:29.109 --> 01:09:36.670
Concepcion was there Yeah A guy with speed That Can
988
01:09:36.710 --> 01:09:47.920
get open Not a Short Physical zone eater Like You
989
01:09:47.939 --> 01:09:48.640
have to know.
990
01:09:48.659 --> 01:09:53.500
You know, that's my problem with Howie, though. This is
991
01:09:53.579 --> 01:09:57.119
the shit that annoys me. It's like he gets in
992
01:09:57.159 --> 01:09:58.750
that fucking zone.
993
01:09:58.890 --> 01:10:01.090
Yes, like my shit doesn't stink.
994
01:10:01.750 --> 01:10:04.029
Yeah, and the fucking virus, bro.
995
01:10:04.050 --> 01:10:07.810
Like, he gets the fucking virus in his fucking robot body, dude.
996
01:10:07.869 --> 01:10:11.310
Like, what is he fucking doing sometimes? Like, what is
997
01:10:11.350 --> 01:10:12.149
he thinking?
998
01:10:12.789 --> 01:10:15.819
Markel Bell might end up being their best pick of
999
01:10:15.859 --> 01:10:16.520
this draft class.
1000
01:10:16.579 --> 01:10:20.920
And that's not a good thing as a third-round pick, dude. Oh,
1001
01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:22.439
that's fucking horrible.
1002
01:10:22.819 --> 01:10:28.439
And, yes, it's very early, but, like, we don't watch.
1003
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:33.119
We watch tape. We don't get out as much as
1004
01:10:33.539 --> 01:10:34.689
that room does.
1005
01:10:35.430 --> 01:10:36.930
If you want to try.
1006
01:10:36.649 --> 01:10:39.149
The water seeker in the first round, it needs to
1007
01:10:39.189 --> 01:10:40.489
be a difference maker.
1008
01:10:40.510 --> 01:10:43.170
Yeah.
1009
01:10:43.289 --> 01:10:47.949
This training up for Makai Lemon was thinking, dude, the
1010
01:10:47.989 --> 01:10:54.060
whole league either plays, well, Cleveland plays man. Everyone else
1011
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:57.220
kind of runs like a match zone. Standard zone is
1012
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:01.159
still a thing, but it's less and less. With how
1013
01:11:01.239 --> 01:11:06.010
athletic tight ends are and you're starting to see the
1014
01:11:06.050 --> 01:11:09.949
move to 12 and 13 personnel, teams are running more
1015
01:11:10.029 --> 01:11:14.729
match zone concepts. We watched the tape on Makai Lemon
1016
01:11:14.770 --> 01:11:16.819
and said, this guy can't beat press. He can't beat
1017
01:11:16.840 --> 01:11:17.420
press man.
1018
01:11:18.159 --> 01:11:20.819
We were just like, eh.
1019
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:25.220
There's nothing special. He's not dynamic. He might turn into
1020
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:30.140
a decent wide receiver. But that's a second-round pick.
1021
01:11:31.100 --> 01:11:32.350
Yeah.
1022
01:11:32.470 --> 01:11:35.270
If I'm drafting a wide receiver first overall, or when
1023
01:11:35.329 --> 01:11:42.399
I know that my right tackle has one year left, okay,
1024
01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:47.569
let me draft his replacement in the first round. Because
1025
01:11:47.609 --> 01:11:49.270
if you draft a wide receiver in the first round,
1026
01:11:49.289 --> 01:11:51.270
it needs to be dynamic. And there were guys taken
1027
01:11:51.510 --> 01:11:56.449
after Makai Lemon that are better than Makai Lemon. Yeah, yeah.
1028
01:11:57.130 --> 01:11:58.649
And it's no knock on the kid.
1029
01:12:00.590 --> 01:12:02.550
No, it's a knock on fucking home.
1030
01:12:02.930 --> 01:12:04.130
You drafted him to.
1031
01:12:03.970 --> 01:12:06.170
Be your number two, and that kid is a number
1032
01:12:06.250 --> 01:12:08.569
three at best. And right now, he is not ready
1033
01:12:08.590 --> 01:12:09.329
to be a number three.
1034
01:12:10.939 --> 01:12:13.539
And we're not knocking him the player.
1035
01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.579
We're knocking the fucking general manager again because he got
1036
01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:17.779
his fucking head out of his.
1037
01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:19.680
He needs to get his head out of his ass.
1038
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:23.770
And like, to me, we haven't talked about this at all.
1039
01:12:24.970 --> 01:12:27.989
Something that I've wanted to say for a while to you,
1040
01:12:28.630 --> 01:12:30.989
but now I kind of start to think about this.
1041
01:12:32.810 --> 01:12:36.439
And more and more, I feel this way. Could be wrong.
1042
01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:40.069
You can call me a fucking idiot... And I could
1043
01:12:40.109 --> 01:12:42.689
feel like a little fucking ant when I tell you this.
1044
01:12:44.869 --> 01:12:49.680
We talk about the room. We talk about being in
1045
01:12:49.779 --> 01:12:55.479
the room with guys, evaluators, your staff.
1046
01:12:58.420 --> 01:13:04.130
For Howie, guys come and go and he's gotten a
1047
01:13:04.170 --> 01:13:07.449
lot of guys to leave. They lost a lot of guys.
1048
01:13:09.239 --> 01:13:10.060
to other teams.
1049
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:14.000
There's been, this past offseason, there was a couple guys
1050
01:13:14.039 --> 01:13:18.760
that left to pursue, and I'm throwing air quotes out there,
1051
01:13:19.300 --> 01:13:22.640
other opportunities, which they didn't go because there was a
1052
01:13:22.699 --> 01:13:26.760
few that, like, did not become NFL general managers, right?
1053
01:13:27.560 --> 01:13:34.850
Yep. Do you think sometimes how we, like, I don't
1054
01:13:34.859 --> 01:13:36.510
want to have this conversation in full.
1055
01:13:36.890 --> 01:13:37.329
We could.
1056
01:13:37.890 --> 01:13:38.270
Depends.
1057
01:13:39.060 --> 01:13:42.760
I'm not ready to fully have a conversation because I'm
1058
01:13:42.779 --> 01:13:44.119
not going to say I know everything.
1059
01:13:45.210 --> 01:13:48.090
Do you think sometimes Howie isn't.
1060
01:13:48.029 --> 01:13:52.149
Always the smartest guy, but he just has a smart
1061
01:13:53.329 --> 01:13:54.489
group of people?
1062
01:13:54.789 --> 01:13:55.170
Yes.
1063
01:13:55.409 --> 01:13:58.890
And that's what the– like when the guys start to
1064
01:13:58.909 --> 01:14:02.520
leave and you start to see the struggling with the drafting,
1065
01:14:03.500 --> 01:14:07.399
you think people don't look at that more often?
1066
01:14:08.390 --> 01:14:09.949
I mean, I know we've had those.
1067
01:14:09.829 --> 01:14:14.189
Conversations, not too much, but like you start to see
1068
01:14:14.229 --> 01:14:18.239
people leave, come and go, and then you're like, it
1069
01:14:18.260 --> 01:14:19.020
just gets worse.
1070
01:14:20.260 --> 01:14:28.520
Yes, he is a guy that needs the, hey, I'm
1071
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:32.010
thinking this, this is what's in my head. He needs
1072
01:14:32.050 --> 01:14:35.449
those guys that'll be like, no, let's not be the
1073
01:14:35.489 --> 01:14:37.449
smartest guy in the room. Let's make the right pick.
1074
01:14:39.970 --> 01:14:43.909
Because I do think that is... We've seen it time
1075
01:14:43.930 --> 01:14:45.090
and time again with Howie.
1076
01:14:45.829 --> 01:14:46.130
Yeah.
1077
01:14:46.550 --> 01:14:50.930
The Jalen Rager pick over Dustin Jefferson. We can go
1078
01:14:50.989 --> 01:14:56.649
through 10 draft picks where he thought he was being
1079
01:14:56.689 --> 01:15:02.529
the smart guy in the room. And there's one time
1080
01:15:02.569 --> 01:15:07.710
it worked out. Yeah. Drafting Jalen Hurts. Because that was
1081
01:15:07.850 --> 01:15:11.670
a I'm the smartest guy in the room pick. And
1082
01:15:12.609 --> 01:15:14.649
it worked out, and you won a Super Bowl.
1083
01:15:14.750 --> 01:15:17.390
It fucking thankfully worked out, but it put a fucking
1084
01:15:17.430 --> 01:15:18.810
bitchy in the fucking ass, too.
1085
01:15:19.149 --> 01:15:25.779
Yes. But he needs those guys that'll go, no, hey,
1086
01:15:27.260 --> 01:15:29.659
Quinion Mitchell falls in your lap. You take Quinion Mitchell.
1087
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:32.529
Yeah. Okay, yeah, great. Devontae Smith.
1088
01:15:32.810 --> 01:15:36.489
Yeah, Devontae Smith fell in your lap in the top ten. Like,
1089
01:15:36.590 --> 01:15:40.359
you're taking that guy. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooper
1090
01:15:40.399 --> 01:15:45.100
Dijon's available. Should we get him? Yes, Howie. Work your magic.
1091
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:49.199
That's where you're best at. Okay, cool. Boom. Then you
1092
01:15:49.229 --> 01:15:51.289
go get that. You have the extra pick in the
1093
01:15:51.329 --> 01:15:57.390
first round. Oh, yes. Okay, we're going to get Jalen Carter. Okay, great.
1094
01:15:57.750 --> 01:16:02.460
He needs those guys in the room to be like, Howie,
1095
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:05.079
sometimes in the draft you don't have to be the
1096
01:16:05.140 --> 01:16:09.720
smartest guy. You have to make the right pick. Drafting
1097
01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:14.600
Eli Stowers and Makai Lemon, to me, is smelling like, oh,
1098
01:16:14.659 --> 01:16:17.979
look at me here. Let me get this. We're going
1099
01:16:18.000 --> 01:16:20.520
to draft these guys, and you're going to be like, oh,
1100
01:16:20.539 --> 01:16:26.710
my God, those are steals. And that's what they got. Like,
1101
01:16:27.430 --> 01:16:30.890
the pundits loved it. Oh, the Eagles got another great draft.
1102
01:16:33.039 --> 01:16:35.859
But right now, you're missing... That's the thing.
1103
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:41.039
Every fucking drop... Dude, that's my.
1104
01:16:41.619 --> 01:16:44.829
I think sometimes I'm guilty of this.
1105
01:16:44.970 --> 01:16:46.789
I get a little excited because we.
1106
01:16:46.949 --> 01:16:49.550
Me too. I saw the vision. I didn't like the picks,
1107
01:16:49.590 --> 01:16:52.989
but I saw what the thought process was.
1108
01:16:53.829 --> 01:16:54.149
Yeah.
1109
01:16:55.449 --> 01:16:58.359
But when you don't back... If you draft Eli Stowers,
1110
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:03.880
I need to keep Cam Latu... And I brought in
1111
01:17:03.920 --> 01:17:06.560
Johnny Muntin. He hasn't been great so far, but I'm
1112
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:10.000
bringing in three other tight ends that can block. Because
1113
01:17:10.060 --> 01:17:12.420
I know Eli Stowers is not ready to play this year.
1114
01:17:15.340 --> 01:17:17.140
We talked about it. That's why he was my sixth
1115
01:17:17.159 --> 01:17:20.739
tight end. He's an RPO merchant and he can't block.
1116
01:17:21.060 --> 01:17:23.189
And you're running a scheme where you need to block.
1117
01:17:26.689 --> 01:17:32.260
And guess what? You draft a Roush You draft a
1118
01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:36.979
Max Clare. You draft a Kenyon Sadiq. Then guess what?
1119
01:17:37.619 --> 01:17:40.500
Dallas Goddard gets hurt. It still sucks. But, oh, great.
1120
01:17:41.090 --> 01:17:43.050
We can slide this rookie in and see what he
1121
01:17:43.090 --> 01:17:48.989
can do. Yeah. Instead, it's, oh, wait, we lost Dallas Goddard. And, wait,
1122
01:17:49.010 --> 01:17:52.170
we already had Stowers on IR because he wasn't ready
1123
01:17:52.210 --> 01:17:57.739
to play. Oh, and, you know, it's kind of important
1124
01:17:57.760 --> 01:17:59.619
for this offense to run what we want to run
1125
01:17:59.859 --> 01:18:04.470
that the guys can block. But, no, let's keep Andy Dalton.
1126
01:18:04.829 --> 01:18:08.289
Let's have four quarterbacks on the active roster, and we
1127
01:18:08.310 --> 01:18:13.189
have to lose Cam Latu. And then he throws one pass.
1128
01:18:13.850 --> 01:18:16.949
And then Andy Dalton throws one pass to interception.
1129
01:18:17.050 --> 01:18:17.329
Yes.
1130
01:18:17.489 --> 01:18:20.689
And we immediately say, you're not the starter, or you're
1131
01:18:20.710 --> 01:18:22.979
not the backup, and you're getting cut.
1132
01:18:22.989 --> 01:18:25.899
And we don't have Cam Latu.
1133
01:18:27.310 --> 01:18:29.310
And what? Because we thought some team was going to
1134
01:18:29.340 --> 01:18:32.020
be desperate enough to trade for Tanner McKee or Andy Dalton?
1135
01:18:32.579 --> 01:18:36.619
And that's where I think his room this year has
1136
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:38.800
changed and not in a good way.
1137
01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:39.720
And I don't like it.
1138
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:44.020
I don't like the vision of what the people in
1139
01:18:44.060 --> 01:18:48.920
the room are telling him. They aren't the smartest people.
1140
01:18:50.460 --> 01:18:53.250
In the room. Or need to be in the room.
1141
01:18:53.270 --> 01:18:57.930
And I don't know if those guys left because maybe
1142
01:18:57.949 --> 01:19:01.409
Howie's a fucking... Maybe Howie's confrontational.
1143
01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:02.500
We don't know him.
1144
01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:07.060
We see him talk about football. But we don't have
1145
01:19:07.079 --> 01:19:08.939
to deal with him on a day-to-day basis.
1146
01:19:09.180 --> 01:19:11.100
No. He could be a fucking dick. You know what
1147
01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:14.399
I mean? But, like, I don't know that.
1148
01:19:16.699 --> 01:19:21.409
No, and you kind of know if you are an
1149
01:19:22.010 --> 01:19:26.449
underling of Howie, you kind of know you're not taking
1150
01:19:26.489 --> 01:19:26.989
his job.
1151
01:19:28.050 --> 01:19:30.439
No, no. So you kind of have to be, like,
1152
01:19:31.140 --> 01:19:33.310
the friend that basically....
1153
01:19:33.859 --> 01:19:38.640
Yeah, you're trying to learn and help out and hopefully
1154
01:19:38.659 --> 01:19:39.399
get your own job.
1155
01:19:40.979 --> 01:19:41.220
Yeah.
1156
01:19:41.739 --> 01:19:44.590
But you're not going to– I mean, maybe you want
1157
01:19:44.609 --> 01:19:48.470
to be an underling for your career, which, I mean, dude,
1158
01:19:48.550 --> 01:19:53.010
you win. You're winning playoff games. You're winning Super Bowls. Like,
1159
01:19:53.029 --> 01:19:57.430
that's great. But if I'm in that room and I'm
1160
01:19:57.470 --> 01:20:00.399
going like, yo, I told him to pick this guy.
1161
01:20:00.489 --> 01:20:02.039
I told him to pick this guy. I told him
1162
01:20:02.060 --> 01:20:02.739
to pick this guy.
1163
01:20:02.779 --> 01:20:03.300
Did he hit?
1164
01:20:04.850 --> 01:20:06.770
And a team comes to me saying, yo, Matt, you
1165
01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:07.680
want to be a GM?
1166
01:20:08.859 --> 01:20:09.079
Yeah.
1167
01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:15.939
Yeah. Let me go run my show. But.
1168
01:20:16.060 --> 01:20:16.300
Yeah.
1169
01:20:17.439 --> 01:20:20.220
And to tie into, like, do you want to be
1170
01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:26.279
an underling? We are excited about 2028, right?
1171
01:20:26.300 --> 01:20:29.279
Yeah. But do I trust him?
1172
01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:32.159
Do I trust him? Not necessarily.
1173
01:20:32.689 --> 01:20:32.819
But.
1174
01:20:33.220 --> 01:20:37.319
Brandon Lee Gatton on the PHY pod yesterday said, Howie
1175
01:20:37.420 --> 01:20:39.960
is able to make those moves because he is that
1176
01:20:40.060 --> 01:20:45.750
comfortable in his job security. GMs will trade. That's why
1177
01:20:45.789 --> 01:20:49.430
they're not 2027 picks. Because, oh, GM's going, I'm probably
1178
01:20:49.470 --> 01:20:52.050
going to be here for that. But a GM will
1179
01:20:52.090 --> 01:20:55.500
trade 2028, 2022 to three years from now because guess what?
1180
01:20:55.539 --> 01:21:00.260
They might not be there. And I was like, oh, shit,
1181
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.920
that's right. Like, if I'm the GM of a bad team,
1182
01:21:06.359 --> 01:21:08.170
they might tell me, yeah, we're going to give you
1183
01:21:08.210 --> 01:21:09.489
four years to turn this around.
1184
01:21:10.310 --> 01:21:11.470
But they're not giving you four years to give you
1185
01:21:11.510 --> 01:21:11.770
four years.
1186
01:21:11.789 --> 01:21:13.590
They're not giving you four years to turn it around.
1187
01:21:13.609 --> 01:21:14.630
Yeah, they're going to give you two.
1188
01:21:14.689 --> 01:21:15.250
So guess what?
1189
01:21:15.270 --> 01:21:17.409
That was always the conversation.
1190
01:21:17.430 --> 01:21:18.220
Yeah, take it.
1191
01:21:19.590 --> 01:21:22.720
That was always the conversation with my dad is like, hey, like,
1192
01:21:23.359 --> 01:21:26.380
you know, a GM, a head coach, you get five years.
1193
01:21:27.380 --> 01:21:29.359
It's like. Not in this fucking day.
1194
01:21:29.819 --> 01:21:35.340
When is that fucking, that changed because we've kind of
1195
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:40.239
talked about that like a little bit. Why did that
1196
01:21:40.380 --> 01:21:44.020
change from like, hey, that's a guaranteed, you get a
1197
01:21:44.020 --> 01:21:45.800
head coaching job, it's five years.
1198
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:50.840
It's no matter what. When and why did that change?
1199
01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:55.260
Like the standard of like a five-year, like if you're
1200
01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:59.470
hiring a new head coach, you're thinking rebuild. Like unless
1201
01:21:59.569 --> 01:22:03.970
you're like a coach retires and then you have to
1202
01:22:03.989 --> 01:22:06.649
kind of, you know, you get a head coach here
1203
01:22:06.670 --> 01:22:08.930
and there that retires, but you don't get that every
1204
01:22:08.989 --> 01:22:14.380
fucking day. It's mostly fired or guys step back. Guys
1205
01:22:14.659 --> 01:22:20.329
kind of stay, Tomlin stayed fucking Pittsburgh for, fucking forever
1206
01:22:20.350 --> 01:22:24.989
in Harbaugh forever. Uh, but they kind of came to
1207
01:22:25.010 --> 01:22:27.090
the end of the road with like a bad year
1208
01:22:27.229 --> 01:22:29.380
or like a, you know, bad ending to the season.
1209
01:22:29.909 --> 01:22:31.949
But like when a guy like the five year thing, like,
1210
01:22:32.149 --> 01:22:32.960
why did that kind.
1211
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:37.520
Of go away? Like for like the actual, like vision
1212
01:22:37.579 --> 01:22:37.939
of that?
1213
01:22:38.640 --> 01:22:44.760
I think there's, I think you're praying into, there's so
1214
01:22:44.819 --> 01:22:50.470
much pressure now for teams to win. With the advancement
1215
01:22:50.510 --> 01:22:54.890
of social media and how there's more connections to situations.
1216
01:22:55.869 --> 01:23:01.050
I think some owners got taken advantage of by your
1217
01:23:01.090 --> 01:23:07.600
college coaches. Chip. I mean, it's a little older, but
1218
01:23:07.819 --> 01:23:12.699
even Steve Spurrier with one of Dan Snyder's genius moves.
1219
01:23:13.539 --> 01:23:15.359
And these college coaches don't work out.
1220
01:23:15.939 --> 01:23:16.140
And.
1221
01:23:17.630 --> 01:23:23.029
Then I think other and the opposite of that is
1222
01:23:23.250 --> 01:23:28.649
teams look and saw like Cincinnati with Marvin Lewis. He
1223
01:23:28.689 --> 01:23:31.029
was there for 10 years. They'd make the playoffs every
1224
01:23:31.069 --> 01:23:34.479
year or two, but they were never a threat to
1225
01:23:34.489 --> 01:23:38.819
win a Super Bowl. And I think some owners are
1226
01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:42.500
probably like, do I give this guy 10 years? If
1227
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:44.199
it's not off to a good start and we're not winning,
1228
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:45.880
let me just cup eight and try the next guy.
1229
01:23:46.989 --> 01:23:50.439
And now with social media, if you're not there in
1230
01:23:50.520 --> 01:23:53.920
two years, the fans are going, this team fucking stinks,
1231
01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:57.000
and why is this guy fired? We're seeing it now.
1232
01:23:57.579 --> 01:23:59.920
We've made the playoffs for five straight years, and we
1233
01:23:59.960 --> 01:24:00.920
want the coach fired.
1234
01:24:01.979 --> 01:24:07.130
Yeah, and it's fucking crazy. It's fucking wild, dude. Five
1235
01:24:07.189 --> 01:24:09.159
straight years, and he fucking....
1236
01:24:10.729 --> 01:24:13.649
It's like... And then you're going to bring in the
1237
01:24:13.689 --> 01:24:14.270
next head coach.
1238
01:24:14.890 --> 01:24:17.630
Dude, I'm not fucking, I'm not.
1239
01:24:19.229 --> 01:24:20.140
Hypothetical.
1240
01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:24.520
If they would move on from Sirianni, man, whoever they
1241
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:26.880
fucking bring in the head coach is going to have
1242
01:24:27.619 --> 01:24:29.319
the hardest fucking job.
1243
01:24:29.380 --> 01:24:30.159
Yes, yes.
1244
01:24:30.859 --> 01:24:32.920
In regards to mentally.
1245
01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:38.039
That's a mentally bad job because, dude, you're wondering when
1246
01:24:38.079 --> 01:24:41.310
they're going to turn on me. When are they going
1247
01:24:41.329 --> 01:24:43.369
to pull the rug underneath me?
1248
01:24:43.850 --> 01:24:44.289
Are they?
1249
01:24:44.529 --> 01:24:47.189
Like, if I win nine games, ten games, that's not
1250
01:24:47.229 --> 01:24:52.310
good enough. Like, I'm going to be constantly criticized about
1251
01:24:52.350 --> 01:24:52.770
my work.
1252
01:24:53.449 --> 01:24:54.569
Probably more than anybody.
1253
01:24:54.930 --> 01:24:58.439
Probably more than any of these fucking other 32, any
1254
01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:02.060
of the 30 other, one of the 31 other teams.
1255
01:25:02.260 --> 01:25:04.460
No fucking doubt, bro. No doubt.
1256
01:25:04.619 --> 01:25:06.199
I'm going to be on that coach's ass.
1257
01:25:06.979 --> 01:25:07.159
Yeah.
1258
01:25:08.210 --> 01:25:10.189
I'm going to be on that coach's ass because guess what?
1259
01:25:10.489 --> 01:25:12.930
It wasn't always pretty, but we made the playoffs every year.
1260
01:25:13.789 --> 01:25:18.479
Yeah. I don't think I'm going to be on the
1261
01:25:18.489 --> 01:25:21.859
coach's ass, but I'll be more on fucking Howie. No,
1262
01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:25.659
Howie and the coach. Yeah.
1263
01:25:26.180 --> 01:25:27.069
They're all getting it.
1264
01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:28.140
Yeah.
1265
01:25:30.180 --> 01:25:34.779
Because they are playing a team this Sunday. They're playing
1266
01:25:34.819 --> 01:25:39.609
a team tomorrow. That's a very good offensive line. They
1267
01:25:39.630 --> 01:25:42.579
have a nice running back in Basial Tootin. They got
1268
01:25:42.600 --> 01:25:49.800
a nice wide receiving core. They're balanced. I need to
1269
01:25:49.859 --> 01:25:53.430
see some of these guys that we've invested in, that
1270
01:25:53.470 --> 01:26:00.170
the GM's invested in, make some damn plays. Because this
1271
01:26:00.229 --> 01:26:02.569
is where they're playing a team that I am very
1272
01:26:02.590 --> 01:26:05.859
high on. I'm very high on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor
1273
01:26:05.890 --> 01:26:08.029
Lawrence is starting to get it right. He's starting to
1274
01:26:08.069 --> 01:26:10.170
round in to why he was the number one overall pick,
1275
01:26:10.189 --> 01:26:13.350
because guess what? He's got great coaching. He's got a good...
1276
01:26:13.090 --> 01:26:13.529
What's his.
1277
01:26:14.250 --> 01:26:17.909
What do you think, like, watching him and looking at
1278
01:26:17.970 --> 01:26:24.260
his film, what do you think has come quicker in
1279
01:26:24.460 --> 01:26:27.119
slowing down in his game?
1280
01:26:29.180 --> 01:26:34.149
Oh, well, I think he has a coach... that understands
1281
01:26:34.470 --> 01:26:40.930
offense and modern and modern football. And he's confident. Like there,
1282
01:26:40.970 --> 01:26:43.460
there are still like, I watched through a bunch of their,
1283
01:26:44.180 --> 01:26:47.199
a bunch of tape from them this morning. Their offensive
1284
01:26:47.220 --> 01:26:51.800
line is playing well, but he looks like a confident quarterback.
1285
01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:55.760
There's still, there's still some things where if he's pressured
1286
01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:58.130
right in his face, he doesn't know. It doesn't throw
1287
01:26:58.170 --> 01:27:01.609
it the best posture and the best technique. But even
1288
01:27:01.670 --> 01:27:06.739
his bad throws aren't bad. Right. There were plays in
1289
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:09.640
that Denver game where he had pressure in his face.
1290
01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:13.119
He's getting hit as he's throwing. Okay, they're not the
1291
01:27:13.159 --> 01:27:17.789
best throws, but they weren't horrible throws. They're still relatively accurate.
1292
01:27:17.829 --> 01:27:20.630
Could have been picked off. Could have been caught. 50-50
1293
01:27:20.930 --> 01:27:24.510
balls for sure. But this is a quarterback that is
1294
01:27:24.590 --> 01:27:28.460
playing like he understands the offense and understands what he's
1295
01:27:28.500 --> 01:27:31.369
supposed to do and what his receivers are supposed to do.
1296
01:27:32.729 --> 01:27:34.850
It's the complete opposite of how Jalen Hurts looks the
1297
01:27:34.890 --> 01:27:39.689
last two weeks. And to me, that's the biggest thing.
1298
01:27:40.390 --> 01:27:43.350
But it's the player, not the coach.
1299
01:27:44.470 --> 01:27:49.909
Yeah, dude, you can fucking scheme. You can scheme everything
1300
01:27:50.060 --> 01:27:53.619
up that you want. The quarterback needs to be confident,
1301
01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:57.960
trust his offensive line, and throw the ball. Not everyone
1302
01:27:58.020 --> 01:27:59.119
is going to be wide open.
1303
01:27:59.930 --> 01:28:02.060
Yeah, he doesn't trust himself. He doesn't trust himself at all.
1304
01:28:02.069 --> 01:28:04.449
You have to trust yourself and trust your receivers and
1305
01:28:04.529 --> 01:28:07.010
trust your arm, and that's vital.
1306
01:28:08.050 --> 01:28:12.380
Yeah, and he does not, he has no, like, through
1307
01:28:12.810 --> 01:28:17.140
four weeks, he's still, it's like he's still trying to
1308
01:28:17.220 --> 01:28:18.100
figure out himself.
1309
01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:22.399
Yes. First two weeks were, to me, I was feeling
1310
01:28:22.460 --> 01:28:26.600
confident in what that guy was seeing. The last two weeks,
1311
01:28:26.640 --> 01:28:28.899
not so much. Yeah.
1312
01:28:29.449 --> 01:28:33.720
The last two weeks have been back to the old hurts. Yes.
1313
01:28:34.979 --> 01:28:37.970
That's why the offense is so bad, and that's why
1314
01:28:38.010 --> 01:28:39.329
the offense stalls so much.
1315
01:28:39.350 --> 01:28:41.880
And it's a quarterback. league.
1316
01:28:42.180 --> 01:28:43.520
You have to make plays.
1317
01:28:44.180 --> 01:28:46.560
If you don't have the quarterback play, you're not winning.
1318
01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:50.510
I don't care about anything. You could have fucking 52
1319
01:28:50.510 --> 01:28:52.850
men on that roster that are really good, but if
1320
01:28:52.890 --> 01:28:55.869
the quarterback stinks, nothing.
1321
01:28:55.909 --> 01:29:00.960
He's the first one He is the first line of defense.
1322
01:29:01.340 --> 01:29:01.659
Yes.
1323
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:06.819
If he gets blown up, he's the commander. He's the
1324
01:29:06.859 --> 01:29:10.359
commander of the offense. If the commander gets shot, guess what?
1325
01:29:12.319 --> 01:29:13.329
Everybody else is.
1326
01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:15.600
As bad as Stafford played last week.
1327
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:17.239
He's a commander.
1328
01:29:17.260 --> 01:29:21.229
He's a commander. The last two drives, the two most
1329
01:29:21.279 --> 01:29:25.319
important drives, Stafford was standing back there and going, I'm
1330
01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:27.210
going to get it. And the cover, it's not like
1331
01:29:27.229 --> 01:29:28.310
guys were wide open.
1332
01:29:29.220 --> 01:29:29.479
Yeah.
1333
01:29:30.260 --> 01:29:33.500
But he said, I need to lead my team on
1334
01:29:33.539 --> 01:29:36.399
a drive here. I'm going to throw the ball to
1335
01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:40.159
Puka Nakua, to Devontae Adams, to Kyron Williams, and I'm
1336
01:29:40.180 --> 01:29:44.260
going to make something happen. He didn't try to run
1337
01:29:44.300 --> 01:29:47.010
and scramble and just throw the ball away. He stood
1338
01:29:47.029 --> 01:29:51.909
in the pocket, took hits, took pressure, and made plays.
1339
01:29:52.010 --> 01:29:53.710
And that's what Hurts has to do.
1340
01:29:54.630 --> 01:29:54.829
Yeah.
1341
01:29:59.909 --> 01:30:03.930
But this matchup, Jacksonville's offensive line is playing good. This
1342
01:30:04.050 --> 01:30:07.430
is an opportunity. I need to see Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis,
1343
01:30:07.489 --> 01:30:11.529
and Jomo get pressure. A lot of the pressures that
1344
01:30:11.550 --> 01:30:15.170
Jacksonville has given up is D tackles versus the interior
1345
01:30:15.229 --> 01:30:20.800
offensive line. Those guys need to come to play. That's
1346
01:30:20.819 --> 01:30:22.039
where you're going to get the pressure.
1347
01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:26.170
And if we're going to be through five weeks– If
1348
01:30:26.210 --> 01:30:32.630
they're continuing not to get pressure, that's going to be
1349
01:30:32.710 --> 01:30:35.609
my– it's going to probably be number three in regards
1350
01:30:35.710 --> 01:30:37.510
to my issues with this team.
1351
01:30:37.550 --> 01:30:39.710
Yes. Yes.
1352
01:30:39.710 --> 01:30:39.789
100%.
1353
01:30:39.789 --> 01:30:41.829
And I'm going.
1354
01:30:41.630 --> 01:30:45.130
To start to kind of– and I'm starting to kind
1355
01:30:45.210 --> 01:30:48.890
of– I'm not like all the way there. I'm probably
1356
01:30:48.909 --> 01:30:54.479
like 15% there. But I'm like getting annoyed with excuses.
1357
01:30:57.010 --> 01:30:59.510
Yeah, those guys are paid.
1358
01:31:00.270 --> 01:31:04.270
You're paying Jordan Davis.
1359
01:31:04.350 --> 01:31:08.020
You paid Jalen Carter. Is Jalen Carter banged up? Sure.
1360
01:31:09.899 --> 01:31:14.720
But, dude, he's getting doubled on every play. Why isn't
1361
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:20.579
Jomo able to benefit off of that? Why isn't Jordan
1362
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:23.840
Davis being able to benefit off of that? Why isn't
1363
01:31:23.920 --> 01:31:28.109
somebody else... making a stand and going you know what
1364
01:31:28.289 --> 01:31:31.789
these guys are not getting the pressure but they're getting
1365
01:31:31.890 --> 01:31:36.130
blocked like crazy but whatever various schemes they're playing against
1366
01:31:37.010 --> 01:31:40.250
let me make a fucking play hey i'm nolan smith
1367
01:31:40.270 --> 01:31:43.029
i want to get paid in the offseason you're not
1368
01:31:43.060 --> 01:31:45.659
getting paid in the offseason with that fucking performance i'm
1369
01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:51.069
sorry jaylex hunt you you want to get paid I need.
1370
01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:53.439
That man to start making some plays.
1371
01:31:53.819 --> 01:31:58.000
You've been okay, but that doesn't warrant a fucking big payday.
1372
01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:02.600
And if you think so, I would love to know
1373
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:09.479
what you're paying a fucking really good player because he's
1374
01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:16.590
been average. And on this team, he's been average. He's
1375
01:32:16.630 --> 01:32:22.670
not fucking great. Bernard's good. Nolan Smith is okay. They
1376
01:32:22.869 --> 01:32:27.329
just don't fucking... I don't know what the fuck is
1377
01:32:27.369 --> 01:32:27.770
going on.
1378
01:32:27.829 --> 01:32:31.930
They're not making plays. That's as simple as it is.
1379
01:32:33.029 --> 01:32:38.409
Those guys are not making plays. They're non-existent out there.
1380
01:32:38.430 --> 01:32:41.449
They're not winning their one-on-ones. They're not making plays in
1381
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:44.479
the run game. They're not doing anything. Nolan Smith played
1382
01:32:44.500 --> 01:32:48.220
a very good game last week. That's the first time
1383
01:32:48.260 --> 01:32:50.920
in four weeks he's been I.
1384
01:32:50.840 --> 01:32:54.180
Hate when he makes a play and then they're all
1385
01:32:54.199 --> 01:32:56.500
sitting there.
1386
01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:58.770
Going, oh man, this is the Nolan Smith year. I
1387
01:32:59.989 --> 01:33:01.890
just gotta prove it, man.
1388
01:33:01.909 --> 01:33:06.449
I just gotta prove it.
1389
01:33:06.489 --> 01:33:10.550
Yeah, I got the people on the fucking online saying that, oh,
1390
01:33:10.609 --> 01:33:12.250
Nolan Smith is going to get a big payday.
1391
01:33:12.489 --> 01:33:12.760
Where?
1392
01:33:13.069 --> 01:33:14.680
Who the fuck's going to pay him to play that
1393
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:19.260
through that way? Yeah, I don't know.
1394
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:25.760
That's how you get a general manager fired. No, that's
1395
01:33:25.899 --> 01:33:33.970
not ideal. You talked a little bit about the Jags
1396
01:33:33.979 --> 01:33:35.630
O-line versus the Eagles.
1397
01:33:38.250 --> 01:33:39.930
Who would you favor in that matchup?
1398
01:33:41.390 --> 01:33:44.270
I mean, right now, it's Jacksonville's offensive line because the
1399
01:33:44.289 --> 01:33:46.090
Eagles' defensive line hasn't done jack shit.
1400
01:33:47.810 --> 01:33:53.720
Um, and the Jags defensive line versus the Eagles offensive line, uh.
1401
01:33:54.060 --> 01:33:57.479
Jags defensive Jags defense in general, I think is playing
1402
01:33:57.520 --> 01:33:59.279
some of the best ball in all of the NFL
1403
01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:05.350
right now. Uh, they're very difficult to run against. They're
1404
01:34:05.369 --> 01:34:09.909
only given up 3.3 yards per play. Uh, yards before
1405
01:34:09.989 --> 01:34:15.729
contact is 1.28. So they are, uh, and they only
1406
01:34:15.770 --> 01:34:18.369
give up two yards per carry after contact, and they
1407
01:34:18.430 --> 01:34:22.609
just play. They're in a light box 47% of the time.
1408
01:34:23.409 --> 01:34:28.819
Teams are trying to run outside. It's 50-50, like 50.5
1409
01:34:28.819 --> 01:34:36.539
outside percent. Inside's 46.2. You have two new interior offensive
1410
01:34:36.579 --> 01:34:42.430
linemen this week. I'm trying to attack outside. They're very
1411
01:34:42.470 --> 01:34:46.880
good on the edges. But you need to establish the
1412
01:34:46.920 --> 01:34:53.060
run game and get it going. Their capacity fits, too.
1413
01:34:55.000 --> 01:34:59.060
They're a very quick get-off team at. 79. That is
1414
01:35:00.939 --> 01:35:05.010
third best in the league. They blitz 26% of the time.
1415
01:35:06.930 --> 01:35:13.180
They give up yards after the catch, though, which that's... okay,
1416
01:35:13.199 --> 01:35:14.779
they're middle of the pack and the yards have to catch.
1417
01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:18.439
So to me, this is, I need Jalen to be,
1418
01:35:18.779 --> 01:35:22.659
it's quick, quick, quick, quick, quick hitting, get the guys
1419
01:35:22.699 --> 01:35:26.590
into space. They're going to play zone. They're going to blitz.
1420
01:35:26.609 --> 01:35:28.670
They're going to play zone behind it. Like this is
1421
01:35:28.710 --> 01:35:32.489
where decisive, if Hertz is decisive and they can get
1422
01:35:32.529 --> 01:35:36.109
the run game going, that's the best opportunity they're going
1423
01:35:36.140 --> 01:35:38.119
to have to move the ball. I don't think this
1424
01:35:38.199 --> 01:35:41.520
is going to be, necessarily the type of game where
1425
01:35:41.579 --> 01:35:45.189
you dominate with the run, but you need to be
1426
01:35:45.270 --> 01:35:47.470
able to get those three to four yards per carry
1427
01:35:48.470 --> 01:35:52.729
and let this, let Jalen be decisive and get rid
1428
01:35:52.750 --> 01:35:55.109
of the ball quick. That's how you're going to have
1429
01:35:55.130 --> 01:36:00.069
to move the ball. Can he get confident? Like this
1430
01:36:00.109 --> 01:36:02.600
to me is easy. I want to open this game
1431
01:36:02.619 --> 01:36:07.119
with some easy throws, let Jalen get a feel, get confident,
1432
01:36:07.159 --> 01:36:10.880
get some momentum and, and then start to let things
1433
01:36:11.039 --> 01:36:12.899
rip down the field and try to open it up.
1434
01:36:14.060 --> 01:36:18.760
You mentioned earlier that the Eagles' running game versus the
1435
01:36:19.020 --> 01:36:24.270
Jags' defense. The Eagles have brought back Carson Steele and
1436
01:36:24.399 --> 01:36:25.770
signed him to the active roster.
1437
01:36:27.510 --> 01:36:29.090
I really wanted to see Jaden Blue.
1438
01:36:29.109 --> 01:36:32.189
Yeah, they could also sign Damian Pierce.
1439
01:36:33.189 --> 01:36:33.689
Yes.
1440
01:36:33.829 --> 01:36:37.449
To me, Pierce is probably going to get... It's going
1441
01:36:37.470 --> 01:36:43.260
to be Shipley and Pierce. Yeah. Blue just gives you
1442
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:48.199
a little more explosiveness, but I don't know. The thing is, though, like,
1443
01:36:48.239 --> 01:36:51.149
Shipley can run between the tackles, so can Pierce. Like,
1444
01:36:51.729 --> 01:36:55.829
maybe they tried a lot of duo this week, and
1445
01:36:55.890 --> 01:36:59.649
if they can get that blocked up well enough, maybe
1446
01:36:59.689 --> 01:37:02.770
this run game actually turns into a good component and
1447
01:37:02.810 --> 01:37:04.180
good complement to the pass game.
1448
01:37:05.220 --> 01:37:07.619
Yeah. Yeah.
1449
01:37:10.529 --> 01:37:15.390
Do you see the– what do you feel about Eagles
1450
01:37:15.430 --> 01:37:19.949
wide receivers versus the Jags secondary and then do the
1451
01:37:20.060 --> 01:37:25.420
other– the Jags wide receivers versus the Eagles secondary?
1452
01:37:27.239 --> 01:37:32.359
Without Smith, I think it's an advantage for Jacksonville secondary.
1453
01:37:33.119 --> 01:37:39.640
Not that their corners are spectacular, but they're– they're playmakers
1454
01:37:40.260 --> 01:37:44.579
and they're decent enough in the coverage on the back end.
1455
01:37:45.460 --> 01:37:48.979
They're the big thing with the Jack secondary. You can
1456
01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:51.979
take advantage of, I think, but their front four has
1457
01:37:52.000 --> 01:37:57.020
done such a good job at getting pressure that, you know,
1458
01:37:57.170 --> 01:38:02.949
obviously the, the way you counteract a average secondary room
1459
01:38:03.970 --> 01:38:05.569
is to get pressure on the quarterback. They do have
1460
01:38:05.590 --> 01:38:11.500
to run bland. Um, No, they don't have throw and play.
1461
01:38:11.539 --> 01:38:17.199
But they do have a slot corner that's very aggressive.
1462
01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:20.949
So can you find a way to pick on that?
1463
01:38:21.909 --> 01:38:26.329
That's going to be important. We're going to see if
1464
01:38:26.390 --> 01:38:30.010
that can be a thing. Because to me, that's where you...
1465
01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:34.600
try to get them. They have Jordan Lewis. That's who
1466
01:38:34.619 --> 01:38:36.739
I was thinking of, not Durant Blaine. But they put
1467
01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:40.239
Jordan Lewis in the slot. He's a very good slot corner.
1468
01:38:42.210 --> 01:38:44.710
He's going to be aggressive and try to bite and
1469
01:38:44.750 --> 01:38:48.130
try to make some plays. So maybe if you can
1470
01:38:48.170 --> 01:38:50.600
get some guys freed up, I think the biggest thing
1471
01:38:51.739 --> 01:38:54.739
is Dallas Goddard being back should be able to help.
1472
01:38:56.520 --> 01:38:59.229
Goddard's an advantage over a tight end or a linebacker,
1473
01:38:59.289 --> 01:39:02.590
so to me that's where I'm going to try to pick. Jacksonville,
1474
01:39:03.789 --> 01:39:07.060
this is a good matchup. Jags wide receivers versus the
1475
01:39:07.100 --> 01:39:10.520
Eagles secondary. I think the Eagles secondary has the advantage
1476
01:39:11.800 --> 01:39:15.720
overall and overall talent level, but Lawrence trusts his guys.
1477
01:39:16.899 --> 01:39:18.979
And he is going to put the ball– he's going
1478
01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:21.560
to throw the ball to Parker Washington. He's going to
1479
01:39:21.579 --> 01:39:23.800
throw the ball to Jacoby Myers. Brian Thomas is going
1480
01:39:23.819 --> 01:39:28.199
to get a couple. But I do think– I think
1481
01:39:28.420 --> 01:39:32.699
both sides of that coin cancel each other out. Like
1482
01:39:32.779 --> 01:39:37.729
I would give both defenses the advantage. It's which front
1483
01:39:37.859 --> 01:39:43.449
four is going to wreak more havoc on the opposing quarterback.
1484
01:39:44.829 --> 01:39:45.229
Right, right.
1485
01:39:46.090 --> 01:39:49.470
That's the biggest difference maker in the pass game. Yeah.
1486
01:39:50.430 --> 01:39:54.869
I was going to say passing concepts.
1487
01:39:55.090 --> 01:40:00.729
They basically do a lot of the same throughout the courses.
1488
01:40:02.609 --> 01:40:07.699
Eagles linebackers versus the Jags tight ends and then Eagles
1489
01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:11.460
tight ends versus the Jags linebackers.
1490
01:40:16.710 --> 01:40:19.590
Well, Eagles tight end room sucks. Dallas Goddard's back, so
1491
01:40:19.609 --> 01:40:22.630
that should help. But I'm going to give advantage to
1492
01:40:22.670 --> 01:40:25.229
Jacksonville there until I see what type of Dallas Goddard's
1493
01:40:25.289 --> 01:40:31.680
out there. Brenton Strange is good. This might be, though.
1494
01:40:31.699 --> 01:40:35.180
I know we love to fucking shit on Jihad Campbell.
1495
01:40:35.659 --> 01:40:38.960
But with Zach Baum being back, this might be the
1496
01:40:39.000 --> 01:40:41.189
game where one of those two can make a play.
1497
01:40:41.970 --> 01:40:47.760
Brenton Strange is solid. But I think he's not a burner.
1498
01:40:47.819 --> 01:40:52.159
He's a decent blocker. He's a decent route runner. This
1499
01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:54.560
could be the type of thing where he's not as
1500
01:40:54.640 --> 01:41:00.630
polished as a Tyler Higbee. So I kind of think
1501
01:41:01.390 --> 01:41:05.289
that's a wash as well. Well, I'd give the Jags
1502
01:41:05.329 --> 01:41:07.569
advantage just because I don't know what Dallas Goddard's going
1503
01:41:07.590 --> 01:41:10.350
to look like. And nothing else Eagles have at tight
1504
01:41:10.409 --> 01:41:15.319
end matters. Right. But I do think this Eagles linebacker
1505
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:18.569
in court can make it very difficult for Brenton Strange.
1506
01:41:23.050 --> 01:41:31.350
Yeah, good stuff, Matt. Special teams, which one matches up better?
1507
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:35.199
If that's a conversation you want to have.
1508
01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:42.489
Brenton Mann's been a great pawner. Cam Little is the
1509
01:41:42.550 --> 01:41:48.060
kicker of ITRZ. Gus. He's got the leg. I don't know.
1510
01:41:48.140 --> 01:41:50.420
Special teams might make an impact in this game because
1511
01:41:50.460 --> 01:41:53.939
it's in London on a soccer field. So I don't
1512
01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:55.619
know which team's going to have the advantage there.
1513
01:41:57.739 --> 01:42:00.180
Tony Khan versus Howie Roseman.
1514
01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:08.590
Howie Roseman all day. All day. Oh man.
1515
01:42:08.630 --> 01:42:12.729
Shad Khan versus Jeffrey, very Jeffrey, very all fucking guys
1516
01:42:12.970 --> 01:42:15.270
all day. At least, at least the owners and the
1517
01:42:15.310 --> 01:42:15.909
fucking dinner.
1518
01:42:15.979 --> 01:42:16.300
Yes.
1519
01:42:17.460 --> 01:42:24.619
The players, not so much, but yeah. Uh, I'm really
1520
01:42:24.659 --> 01:42:27.859
excited for tomorrow. I'm really excited to see you.
1521
01:42:28.890 --> 01:42:29.689
I'm, uh, yeah.
1522
01:42:29.699 --> 01:42:33.069
Looking forward to that. And then, um, yeah, so it
1523
01:42:33.109 --> 01:42:38.340
should be fantastic time. Uh, fucking early. I haven't done
1524
01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:41.720
that in like fucking like nine years since I've fucking
1525
01:42:42.100 --> 01:42:43.800
had to wake up at nine o'clock in the morning
1526
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:44.880
for a fucking.
1527
01:42:46.500 --> 01:42:51.800
Eagles game. It's fucking nuts. Think about this.
1528
01:42:51.859 --> 01:42:54.340
Imagine if like we lived overseas, like we lived in
1529
01:42:54.359 --> 01:42:59.619
fucking like Spain, like fucking six hours fucking waiting, waiting
1530
01:42:59.659 --> 01:43:02.020
all fucking day for a one o'clock game. We're waiting
1531
01:43:02.060 --> 01:43:04.819
a fucking seven o'clock at night for a one Eagles
1532
01:43:04.899 --> 01:43:05.600
one o'clock game.
1533
01:43:05.649 --> 01:43:09.729
You'd be like, What the fuck are we doing?
1534
01:43:09.770 --> 01:43:10.210
Yep.
1535
01:43:10.210 --> 01:43:10.510
100%.
1536
01:43:10.510 --> 01:43:12.789
Like a Monday night football game. You're like sitting up
1537
01:43:12.840 --> 01:43:15.779
at fucking four in the morning. You're like, Oh dude,
1538
01:43:15.819 --> 01:43:16.520
what the fuck?
1539
01:43:16.560 --> 01:43:18.140
What the fuck are we doing?
1540
01:43:19.380 --> 01:43:20.760
Thank God. We don't have to worry about that.
1541
01:43:20.979 --> 01:43:21.739
No, sir.
1542
01:43:22.060 --> 01:43:28.210
Um, you got anything else you want to, uh, get into? No,
1543
01:43:30.289 --> 01:43:30.649
we did.
1544
01:43:31.090 --> 01:43:33.909
Uh, we got, we did like a, what an hour
1545
01:43:33.970 --> 01:43:45.729
and 45 minutes. So, decent little show. Yeah, good stuff, Matt.
1546
01:43:45.899 --> 01:43:49.239
It went fucking fast.
1547
01:43:51.310 --> 01:43:53.909
I'm good. Thank you guys for tuning in.
1548
01:43:54.970 --> 01:44:00.250
We will talk to you guys Monday and then Tuesday.
1549
01:44:00.289 --> 01:44:03.010
We're going to be fucking coming in fucking hot this week.
1550
01:44:03.529 --> 01:44:08.260
With a banger. We already did our predictions. If you
1551
01:44:08.279 --> 01:44:10.279
don't got something else, I don't have anything else.
1552
01:44:11.079 --> 01:44:12.000
We'll talk to you guys.
1553
01:44:13.810 --> 01:44:18.670
You know, as we just were about to come off air,
1554
01:44:18.689 --> 01:44:25.270
I just thought of something. Wasn't there another conversation that
1555
01:44:25.350 --> 01:44:26.630
had with Dwayne Johnson?
1556
01:44:28.130 --> 01:44:29.029
Oh, yes.
1557
01:44:31.409 --> 01:44:33.529
With what Howie said to him the last time they
1558
01:44:33.550 --> 01:44:34.130
were in London.
1559
01:44:35.460 --> 01:44:39.050
Yes, he fucking basically... So I'm going to pull up
1560
01:44:40.229 --> 01:44:42.229
that real quick.
1561
01:44:42.289 --> 01:44:48.909
And then I'll... Yeah, I totally fucking was thinking about that.
1562
01:44:48.930 --> 01:44:50.989
I'm like, wait a minute. I fucking....
1563
01:44:52.069 --> 01:44:58.699
So this is what happened in London the last time.
1564
01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:08.890
Let me pull this up. So this was the following week.
1565
01:45:09.069 --> 01:45:13.109
Lane Johnson was with teammates in the NovaCare cafeteria when
1566
01:45:13.210 --> 01:45:17.270
Roseman walked up and said, according to sources, I've never
1567
01:45:17.369 --> 01:45:20.180
seen you get beat by a rookie before. The pair
1568
01:45:20.220 --> 01:45:23.760
were known to bust each other's chops. But Johnson, who
1569
01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:27.720
was dealing with a personal matter at the time, didn't
1570
01:45:27.760 --> 01:45:31.510
take kindly at the jab. He left the facility. A
1571
01:45:31.590 --> 01:45:34.979
month later, the Eagles were in London to face the Jags.
1572
01:45:36.060 --> 01:45:39.920
Johnson had suffered a high ankle sprain three games earlier
1573
01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:42.819
but continued to forge on. But as the players geared
1574
01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:47.550
up that Sunday in the Wembley Stadium locker room, Johnson
1575
01:45:47.590 --> 01:45:51.710
voiced concerns about playing. Roseman caught wind and berated him,
1576
01:45:52.350 --> 01:45:56.670
sources present said. Nearby teammates and coaches couldn't understand why
1577
01:45:56.729 --> 01:46:00.680
he would provoke him, considering Roseman Johnson's current state. The
1578
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.710
tackle finished shooting up, and as he walked by Roseman,
1579
01:46:04.729 --> 01:46:08.390
the GM said, according to sources, good, you have your
1580
01:46:08.430 --> 01:46:09.189
mouthpiece in.
1581
01:46:09.229 --> 01:46:10.989
Now you can't say anything stupid.
1582
01:46:11.770 --> 01:46:14.710
The last comment, which a source close to Roseman said
1583
01:46:14.750 --> 01:46:18.579
was intended to be playful, set Johnson off. I can't
1584
01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:23.960
play for this explicitive, which probably meant I can't play
1585
01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:24.840
for this fucker.
1586
01:46:25.890 --> 01:46:28.050
He said, according to source, he.
1587
01:46:28.010 --> 01:46:30.039
Took off the equipment and went to the showers and
1588
01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:33.939
missed pregame warm-ups. Left tackle Jason Peters went to Peterson's
1589
01:46:34.039 --> 01:46:38.539
office for help diffusing the situation. Defensive end Chris Long,
1590
01:46:38.579 --> 01:46:43.090
Brandon Brooks, and others talked Johnson into playing. He lasted
1591
01:46:43.170 --> 01:46:47.409
seven plays, Johnson further aggravated his ankle and sprained a
1592
01:46:47.970 --> 01:46:48.729
knee ligament.
1593
01:46:49.369 --> 01:46:50.899
What is your thoughts on the whole situation?
1594
01:46:53.390 --> 01:46:56.300
Uh, Howie's lucky that Lane didn't fucking toss him out
1595
01:46:56.319 --> 01:47:04.619
of the airplane or eat him. But, is it much
1596
01:47:04.659 --> 01:47:07.859
of a problem when Lane ended up staying here for.
1597
01:47:07.779 --> 01:47:08.579
His whole career?
1598
01:47:09.470 --> 01:47:14.649
No. But, Howie, that's a bold move, my boy. That's
1599
01:47:14.670 --> 01:47:23.609
a bold move. That's how I think he's a football guy. Yes.
1600
01:47:26.789 --> 01:47:29.069
That's how I think he's a fucking football guy.
1601
01:47:29.909 --> 01:47:34.449
Yeah.
1602
01:47:34.550 --> 01:47:37.409
But yeah, so I wanted to get real quick into that.
1603
01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:40.859
But yeah, so glad we brought that up. So we'll
1604
01:47:40.899 --> 01:47:44.060
talk to you guys Monday, hopefully for a victory Monday,
1605
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:46.600
because I'm getting tired of these non-victory Mondays.
1606
01:47:46.619 --> 01:47:47.680
Amen.
1607
01:47:49.479 --> 01:48:00.649
Talk to you guys Monday. Peace. I want to give way.
1608
01:48:02.220 --> 01:48:04.640
I want to fly away.
1609
01:48:05.159 --> 01:48:08.699
I want to give way. I want to fly away.
1610
01:48:15.770 --> 01:48:19.850
Let's get drunk. Let's get high.
