OFF INTO THE SUNSET

[00:00:04] Yes, you were down listening to the snap of Sports Reports As Ordered. Dipset, Dipset? Let me just be clear. We ain't gonna call you a nickname just because you got a nickname. Backjones.

[00:00:23] The only back we know is Craig Mac, Big Mac and Little Mac from Mike Tyson's Punch out. And Bill Belice, fire with your soft play. And my god, Bailey Zap. What you gonna get on with Sports Reports is Ordered. You wanna get the real.

[00:00:45] You ain't gonna get the old mediocre. Cause we come and see ya, ya know, back and we gotta put on everybody's next. I'll hear it in your rooms. You're... This cold act's weather. Sigh, is just windy. You don't say this crazy, you wanna see.

[00:01:06] You know, you don't hear the final move. But he's still going keep it. Rack it, shit. Because he is. But Virginia, even kill. Just like Mike's Baldwin. This is a lot. You're... And you're down. It's down here, San Antonio. They talking about snow on Monday.

[00:01:32] I'm gonna get this here. And with the smoke clears, all you wanna see is top roaches. It's too far. Cause we will survive. So tonight, no getting off my chest. We just go get straight into it. Still this the lot. I heard some news.

[00:01:59] I heard a lot of news. A lot of rumors. Yeah. I heard that Dan Lane and Mike Norville are not going to Alabama. So that would mean that Nick Sabis thought it Alabama. What? Why did it go bad? What? What?

[00:02:30] Yo, it has to be a point where you're like, I think this whole narrative a lot of times, guys wanna go out on top, I don't like that you won't. Jerome Betis, Peyton Manning, I think some other guys walked off their career with the championships John L.A.

[00:02:51] But Jerome Davis was an engine of that team. The Broncos defense was the engine of that team. And Jerome Betis fumbled a couple games earlier that would have ended their seasons. There's a rough end, but it's from Detroit

[00:03:07] the game was a four field in it worked out for him. Mike, I mean, I don't know if there's enough money, if that's the thing to say, you know what? I'm stable, I got enough money, I got enough money coming in.

[00:03:22] Or if it's just a matter of like, I don't feel like wake up in the morning doing this. I don't feel like going from Tuscaloosa to some high school game and Florida. To talk to this guy and his mom and his dad,

[00:03:41] his grandma, I bought coming out with him. Maybe he just like you can love it. He's like maybe he's just sick of having to make those adjustments even with the comfort of it. Just like man, this 60 plus years old. What else is he out left to prove?

[00:04:00] You know what Nick Sabin is? I'm listening. He's the goat. You know what he's tired of? He's tired of not being able to cheat no more. You know what I'm saying? He was sitting up here talking about what Jim Boe was doing.

[00:04:21] Like he wasn't sliding the little something under the table. Listen, egg Diccus's mom got a loan for that Trent that that trans-an back in the day. So so to all the players that went with all the divisions of what the school was in the SEC.

[00:04:36] You know, you know what else Nick Sabin did for real though? All jokes aside, you know what he did though? He transformed college football. You know, he changed the game as we know it and not just

[00:04:47] on the field, you know what he did off the field is far as this dude had super bowl people that coached in the Super Bowl on his sideline as analyst. Like I was watching the Alabama game one year and they were just doing like a span

[00:05:04] like around the stadium and everything. And they were like, yeah, there's Alabama football analyst Al Gros. Al Gros, that was like a defensive coordinator in the Super Bowl. That was the head coach of Virginia and there's Mario Christopher ball. There's major Apple White.

[00:05:23] There's Mike Stoops like Bob's little brother. There's butch Jones. All these dudes out made their apple white. He had all these dudes as analyst on his sideline. He showed us that America and college football do forgive because we saw when Lane Kiff and lost that game

[00:05:47] out in the desert, they got left on the tar back. And we thought it was over for him. You know he had the Raiders job. We was like how did he get it? He you know he went to Tennessee. We were like, how did he get it?

[00:05:59] How hell did he get USC? And he got left on the tar back and then they say to say it, come over here to my rehabilitation center. And now Lane Kiff is a candidate for the job. Lane Kiff is going to be in the 12th.

[00:06:15] Do you play off night's year? That's correct. You know he might even beat Alabama next year if they play them. You know because they have the number one transfer portal class as of today. You know but also you know there was a guy

[00:06:29] that we talk about sometimes offline. This is the Sarc region who had some demons. He had some problems. Nothing we go get into it, but you know he had some issues. His family. And then Nick Savis said, yeah, come to my rehabilitation center.

[00:06:47] And now he's the head coach of Texas just got done in the play off two weeks ago and now he's a candidate for the Alabama job. You know, Nick Savis changed recruiting. And I didn't even get to the part where, oh by the way,

[00:07:02] he spawned this dude they could be smart. You know who spawned another dude by the name of Dan Lanning? Who is not going to take the Alabama job it sounds like? Yeah, he posted a map. Sean where he was going to stay. Yeah, so good story.

[00:07:21] He did a lot of things that we didn't think could be done. You know back in the 60s, 50s earlier times you had people like Bear Bryant that would dominate for decades on end. But they also had I think it was, I'm 125 scholarships.

[00:07:35] They were just signing people so they would go to Auburn or know somewhere else, which is why Georgia Tech left the SEC because they felt that Alabama wasn't playing there. So as we fast forwarded it to the 90s and early 2000s,

[00:07:49] we saw this guy show up at Michigan State with his defense. Like we noted, play defense like that, not an Iowa in the big tent. Then he came to LSU, a school that had never really amounts into anything prior to him arrived.

[00:08:07] They had wanted some national titles back with my granddaddy was defended the country with Drew Brie's granddaddy. My grandfathers out there too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? But he did that. You know, and then he wanted national title there.

[00:08:22] Then he came to Alabama and won six national titles in 12 years. And played in other championship games besides those. So you couldn't talk about national championship, you could talk about BCS, you could talk about play off without the excited.

[00:08:38] We used to call it that Alabama-invitational at one point. They made it every year except for last year. That's an excited enough show. Yeah, I mean, we counted skipped over some of my aim in the NFL, but it happens is not for everybody. Yeah, yeah.

[00:09:01] I've done talked about the time I drove from Texas to Virginia and I had to go through that state of nine Tuscaloosa. There was no orange and blue throughout the entire city. Everything was burgundy. The buildings, the gas station has a doctor pepper advertised

[00:09:17] because the colors matched the Alabama uniforms. It just, yeah, he had such a profound effect on California. I think he's so far ahead. Like his accomplishments are so far ahead of everybody else. I don't think you'll be able to catch him.

[00:09:34] The love for Alabama made a dude go out here and poison some trees. Straight up and then call the radio station to told on himself. The five bombs show, five bombs show the most popular SEC football program in the South, probably nationwide for that matter.

[00:09:54] And then how did he get through? I don't know what he said to get through. He could call these radio stations and not get through. He must have said yo, I poisoned trees and they're like, hold on, save that. We're gonna put this room.

[00:10:07] And then like, I think it's a lot to get through. My favorite part was what he was done. He just said, roll damn tight. People are like, crying over them trees. It was hilarious. But you know, you know what got me though?

[00:10:23] We always talk about how big and bad the SEC is. You know, the SEC won all these national titles in the last 20 years. This training, winning percentage in the SEC was 84.7. So 10 games a year you can book him for eight and a half wins. Over under eight.

[00:10:48] Yeah, I'll take the over. Yeah, I'll take the over. Yeah, it was special. And you've seen a lot of behind the scenes stuff. I had to interview with them earlier on a TV. You have some highlights of him spasin' on a sideline. Yeah. But everyone does.

[00:11:11] But he backs it up when he goes to the press conference. And if a reporter says something to one of his players, he's like, he'll immediately defend him. Right. Like immediately, boom. Nope. That was my call to call that play or go fair on fourth to one.

[00:11:31] Whatever the circumstances, he's quick to stand up defend his players. Getting ready because if you think about it like LSU with Joe Burrow on the eddo is your own. Everyone regards them as the greatest fast college football team ever.

[00:11:53] And he was fired a year and a half after that. So to consistently, for Marzo Darius hitting Coleman Cohen, a back and hurt in his show and I'm putting them out of the game to Ohio State beating them.

[00:12:09] But just every year coming back because Alabama didn't win it every year. Right. They just were always in every single year. And when they didn't win it, they didn't blow. They didn't fire a bunch of people that came back. They just reloaded.

[00:12:26] They would have really the prime example of like, we're not rebuilding or reloading. I love it. So Joe Burrow, tie a cube. Yeah. So what do you see what happened? Nope. Because I got the fence of coordinator for some other random college important.

[00:12:46] We haven't left the greatest college football team ever. You should, you know, your name should be raised an F from you like Nick Sabin, but most of you guys just don't match up. So even I as a Florida State fan have to bow down because Bobby Bowden

[00:13:03] had 14 straight seasons where his team finished in the top five at the end of the season. Nick Sabin and Alabama was number one in the polls at least one week of the last 15 years between 2008 and 2022. So not this year. This year broke the street.

[00:13:31] And his national title year, some of the six times he won the national title at Alabama, what do you want in two against top 10 opponents? Since 2008, 37 and 15 against top 10 opponents. Like what can you say?

[00:13:49] And he also, while the rest of the world was trying to find the big fast no huddle offenses. And you know, that's he still maintained his defense even when he went and got bright shiung because that's what the Greeks do. They adapt. So he adapted got bright shiung.

[00:14:09] What is it? Why if it went for one away from Eddie Lee season, Mark and he grew up in the game. Like exclusively, he just like a lot of people probably added. There it can read to he added guys like there can read to the three four

[00:14:25] wide pass and offense to the Mari Cooper and Calvin really just getting a lot of virus hevers. I think because they're uniformed is just so plain. It doesn't look as flashy on film. I mean, it just went white pants and burgeoning shirts. I like it.

[00:14:40] They look like they remember the title. I'll be that guy, but I would say the shirts are probably crimson. Oh, that's crazy. That's my bad. I got I use a wrong he followed these big. But like I said, I think they just

[00:14:59] I think there's just one of those teams that always ready to go and he always had them like then even the kick six, you know, a lot of a lot of plays like that to end your season on end of your regular season and a rivalry game.

[00:15:14] People are calling for you. Like people want Ryan, they fired out of Ohio State. I'm pretty sure his top 10 when percentage is probably just as good as Nick St. But his Ohio state when percentage is going to get nick be Auburn. He beat him, you know, enough.

[00:15:31] It was close a few times and then it came to me year and then, you know, like I said, with the kick six, it's been some years where Auburn's got the best of them for the most part, you never went to that Auburn Alabama game.

[00:15:43] The iron bowl feeling like, oh, Alabama's ill prepared for this team this year. Right. And because he never, like you never looked at the schedule and said, I think Alabama is going to be overwhelmed by whoever it is on the other side of the schedule.

[00:15:57] It just never happened. That's the testament to his ability to keep coaches because we know what championships come so that's the NFL guys want to get paid. Guys want to get out, guys want to get paid, guys want to make sure they maximize,

[00:16:11] you know, I strike, you know, strike what I am talking about. 11. You will let you titles. He will let these coordinators go and just go get Lane Kiffin off the tar met or he would

[00:16:23] just get sarkees in off the mat like listen man, come here use that brain. Be focused on something positive. He got sarkees from the falcons, right? Or was that app or did he go to the falcons after he went to the falcons and then

[00:16:40] from the falcons he in the battle. So I'm not sure what the timeline is but he was at. He was at Atlanta as often as coordinator before, but even then it wasn't good. So he's the departure from there.

[00:16:53] Granny, it wasn't, you know, a personal battle that he was beat, you know, fighting like he did, you know, prior to that. But it was a professional one, like right, you know what you're doing. He doesn't get the Texas job without his stand list.

[00:17:10] No, not even in Alabama. So now him and Lane Kiffin are allegedly candidates. Now I can believe that sarke is a candidate, but I don't take Lane Kiffin as a serious candidate for Alabama. I mean, he has his people like Alabama dude.

[00:17:27] If I had to pick one or the other, I'm going with the God I got arched. That you think he's gonna stay? I got I got Ole Miss, I think that Ole Miss has had that roller coaster

[00:17:48] when they went six games or when they went nine and they went seven and then they, you know, they went ten. Yeah. And it's like up and down and the expectations are always still hard even though like the record don't really support it. Right.

[00:18:04] I can see him taking Alabama job. Like listen, if I can make it work in LSU because he's already a Tennessee. He's like, yeah, there's some kind of SEC of, you know, allegiance. So I can see Lane Kiffin. I think he's a splash higher.

[00:18:18] And I think he can recruit the South because he's literally in the same region. Recruit not a Mississippi. Probably recruit on a land. I brought, you know, recruiting out of New Orleans. Recruit not a Texas recruit not Alabama. Recruit not a Georgia.

[00:18:32] So just to matter of instead of trying to convince people to come to Oxford, Mississippi, there's going to go to school. No, he just, I don't know. It just doesn't sound right. I guess we'll see. But what is said right when he was off in the coordinator?

[00:18:46] And then it was when it worked. And then I think he fits. You know, I, so what do you do if you Alabama, right? Like do you go for an established name? Do you go for, does it have to be someone

[00:19:04] contagious to the South because according to Joe. Yeah, because Brian Kelly's fake accent was a, a gringess. Well, according to Joel, clap, you know, college football, official, and auto. He's running around saying that he would be shocked if it wasn't killing the board. On a Washington, you know.

[00:19:24] So that would be a shot to me. You know, if it was killer the board, just because, you know, coming from Washington, I don't, you know, I don't know what his South game is like, you know, he can get a little Southern charm.

[00:19:36] You know, be able to say, you know, like, gramma, pop, that stuff. These are resonate with you if you're going to show that. But I've seen list that had like Marcus Freeman on there and Dion Sanders

[00:19:51] and the only reason I could see Marcus Freeman getting the job if he were to get it is just because he's probably a top three or four recruiter as I hate coaching the country right now. You come by these lists.

[00:20:02] This is this is when I sent Mike about a couple hours ago. Lane Kiffin, this is like five candidates to watch for at Alabama. Right. Lane Kiffin, Davos, we need steesa, Keasian, Mike, Novel, Kayle and the board. Now I get it. You want to put something out.

[00:20:27] These are some of the heaviest hitters currently with their university. None of these guys are on the outskirts. Two of these guys finished a regular season on defeated right and they're in great recruiting spots. I think Washington is probably one of the top North, you know,

[00:20:43] Pacific Northwest schools. So I believe the battle for recruits is probably between them and Oregon. Me and the spread of Oregon state, but for the most part just kind of keeping that region Hawaii, Northern California.

[00:21:00] I think Washington's got a shot like they live in some of 14 and one. I just don't understand what is this come from. And we'll talk about Alabama, why Alabama or even what anybody in Alabama staff would think that these five guys are viable candidates. I'll see.

[00:21:16] That's what I'm saying. Like so with Alabama higher someone, that's not a hit coach right now. Because I look at somebody like Glenn Schumann was the Defissa coordinator as George at Georgia.

[00:21:32] As a candidate, but I don't know if he meets the criteria of we want to splash or we got to have this big name because Mike Norvelle was on the list and I just don't take that seriously.

[00:21:44] It sounds like he already said that he's not going to take it. He owned a board like I said that would just surprise me. Sark would surprise me if he left Texas. He would because like I think he has something brewing there.

[00:21:59] Yeah, you know Washington, the Washington coach doesn't have his quarterback coming back. Right. So that could be enough and then what could he be? I got a sick thought for you. I'm listening. Let's just say Sark region does take the Alabama job.

[00:22:19] He brings a harsh manning with them. Yes, and how sick is played. Patients are going to share in a matter of what? You know as I said to see guy third Saturday and October, you know that would be sick.

[00:22:32] And he lied with the old best that was just. He lied with the old miss. But he's the way Texas is going to the SEC so they're going to be in a part of many way eventually. Yeah.

[00:22:42] I think Texas would be better consistently in the old miss and Tennessee. All right, so you ready for our round of ESPN moment? Let's hear it. On a level from one to ten, how stop were you when you heard the news that Nick said in a retired?

[00:23:06] I'm not going front. I'm going to say 10. Yeah. I'm going to say 10 because normally you think a guy will retire. I want to even call it a bruptly, but in the context of how people normally retire and get out of it. It seemed to be a brupt.

[00:23:23] I was then also thinking that maybe he knew in that press conference when he said this statement. I wish I could have done a better job coaching them after the loss to miss you. I'm not going to say anything until after the national championship.

[00:23:43] Because if he says it before, then it's like, oh, he just wants a spotlight and takes it away. It would have been a long moment. So I think that's evident that he does really care about what he's doing.

[00:23:55] But just chronologically, he's in a pace of many calories turning. He's like, what else can you think? What else can I prove? But I was the jet shock because his team started all poor.

[00:24:11] They grinded back, made it to the semi finals and they're realistically going to say that fourth and two. They cover that back out of the backfield. McCarthy has to check it with somebody else. You never know what happens.

[00:24:25] Now they're in the championship game with, you know, against Washington and then he hoist another one of the retirees, you know at the top of his game. But I was definitely shocked. I think I was at about a three because listening to him all season,

[00:24:44] it reminded me of when I'm on deployments. And you know, when you're sitting up in the tent by yourself, laying on that small last bed, you're a little bit too fast, but it you're like, yo, all those times I've been getting

[00:24:58] mad at her for asking all the questions. I just wish I could hear her voice right now. Like he just had that reflective like that just kind of haze of like, yeah, like I wish we could

[00:25:11] have did this. And I think that, but it wasn't just after they lost to Michigan, like all season long when you would talk, I mean, he was laughing. He was telling jokes talking about

[00:25:21] the mad on the pigs ass and all that kind of stuff. Like he was giving a lot of praise to other players, but I thought he would just kind of send Domino's up to go get those guys for next year.

[00:25:30] Yeah, like he like Nick Sabin is usually like a heart and you don't talk about the rat poison you know, all this stuff like just being coming across like he's been and he just kind of sat back.

[00:25:43] It was like watching Kobe like when Kobe got his shoulder and shoulder, and you were like, no, Kobe's kind of snow. Yeah, but when you saw him in a little weight group as beard,

[00:25:54] yeah, when you saw him on the corner or hurt people talk about him, it was always like, yo, he just sat in the corner and he talked to nobody. It's another guy who'll talk about

[00:26:03] it and Bill Bell check out, like I used the example we talked about earlier, yeah, I think if you want to think of what it's like, you remember when it's like what you just

[00:26:11] saw you're gonna retire? Yeah, like did you care about Roko? No. Did you care about QA fails or like well that you're pregnant on your office, but like PMR and I getting done, I didn't care about

[00:26:24] or guys not logging, you're like, I don't care, like I mean, you literally like tell you stories about my deployments. I mean, he had to tell you about what I'm going to do when I retire,

[00:26:36] I'm going to tell you about that time when I was an airman. That's what I spent my time about my latter gear, so in the Air Force, when I was like in these moments,

[00:26:46] it was all mentorship, I didn't care about whatever the process was. If you told me I had to go do some spot inspections, I didn't do a single one. Yeah, I didn't even fake it. I didn't even

[00:26:58] fake it. I didn't even sign a paper. Like I would do two and one night. Yeah, I did a sign and you won. I wouldn't even like fake it. I was like, they can see it. And I could do the last

[00:27:08] night. I'm like, because I'm returning. I don't care. No, I did a Sam and a mentorship for two hours. I think I had the squadron that I had, like three write-ups and they were like,

[00:27:22] so what do we need to do? And I was like, yo, people get write-ups every day, D. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't care. You don't say it, just fix it. Like you are like, you know what I'm saying?

[00:27:34] And that's what it was. Like I felt like a fall of the figure where instead of yelling at you, I was like, come here, son. Like, don't sign your name on nothing unless you're proud of it.

[00:27:47] You know, and stuff like that. Let me impart this with the morning because I'm mighty here six months. Right. So, so I'm out. So like, so I was just notes record me do something but like Nick was probably like, yo,

[00:28:00] I'm out. Yeah. Like Nick was like, you knew it for a while. Nick was like, yo, the little Brian told me I could win with Dale and Bill Roach in a listen. You know,

[00:28:09] is that, you know, but did like you brought it up, Bill Belichick. The other I guess go, potentially, you know, to me, you know, to make a potentially, literally. Anyway, no one will time. No, I said, but I said,

[00:28:26] I'll check that it's not it's not a coach out there that could do what he did. Mainly two reasons one, anyone who does that and I know like I was bang on quarterback in VP talk.

[00:28:39] But you got to need a quarterback that's upper echelon, but that guy might get paid more than like his one says value, but they might get overpaid and it's going to cost you places. I think time Brady, you know, Ruma has a spent a few contract negotiations,

[00:28:58] gain team friendly deals in an era where everyone wasn't getting crazy money. Like the rookies, Sam Braffer, Cam Newton, nothing Matthew Staffer, Tom Arcos Russell, those are the four names that popped my head. They're like number one draft pick quarterback. They got like $50 million and it was crazy.

[00:29:16] But for the most part, it was pretty balanced and pretty level. So now a quarter of extra getting ridiculous money. That can probably get like $55 million next year. I already have 50, 70. You're first quiz at a day? Yeah, so, so Bill Belichick

[00:29:33] obviously has the record. 31 playoff wins. Who's second place? Chuck Noe with 14. No, no. Second place, ready for this? The one and only head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. That was easy, yes, an year. Yeah, at 22. So, but he has the record for playoff wins by nine.

[00:30:06] He's 15 wins away from the all time. Wayne record. You know, so the only, marks, the only negative marks on his career are Spiegee. And what's that thing people essentially forgot in the book? Because it's different. I

[00:30:22] even forget about it. Rob Parker, it was you to about it. It's not like this. If you were recording like the walk through the game. But everything else you can equate to just film. Like I could just

[00:30:35] watch a regular film and still your signs. If you were still in playbooks and film a people clean, that's the lead from hotel lobby or if you had a dude flying to the stadium sitting in the crowd

[00:30:47] and filming you playing. Yeah, that means that dude was at the Rose Bowl. I know. But the other Bartholah his career is the 84 and 103 record without Tom Break. You know, I don't care about it that way, but I know some people do. You know, I understand

[00:31:08] how football works. It's hard to win. You know, you can't just like any sport. You know, you look at like the NBA, right? You look at Greg Popovich. What did he have? Oh,

[00:31:19] Tim Duncan Phil Jackson had who read our back had who? You know, so what you look at the NFL or whatever bill wall. Who you need stars? You got to eat these stars? Who you need stars?

[00:31:34] Granted, we'll look at the win laws, recorders, stars. But you know, look at the let's look at a coach like Pete Carroll. His win laws record without Russell Wilson probably wouldn't great. But you can tell like once he gets his good quarterback who can make plays and decisions

[00:31:54] and keep his game plan moving. You're doing all right because we could see how cooking is going to be fired. A lot of coaches finished their career with, you know, finished their time for

[00:32:05] to get fired with a sub 500 record. We'll talk about another guy like I think Frank Wright's record sub 500 or Smith's sub 500. Josh McDaniels, I believe, is sub 500. So even to be anywhere near 500 and then subsequently also be that good in the playoffs because Tony's actually

[00:32:30] had Peyton Manning, so it's a Peyton Manning like five seasons ago this first playoff picked around. Eli Manning was not that good of a regular season quarterback had to great, you know, postseason runs. Had to league against our steps in as three times. And they end

[00:32:45] up with two silver reviews, two silver will if you piece. But to consistently be the best coach, we talked about showing Peyton all the time, you know, a target a lot of my aggression, you know,

[00:32:54] we talked about those years he went five and eleven with Drew Breeze. Drew Breeze is all time to record it back. I think his numbers statistically are right behind Tom Brady. John Groenard, John Groenard, John Groenard, John Groenard took Tony Dungeons team, won a Super Bowl and then

[00:33:09] just rolled the rest of his time out strictly of a personality. Yeah. So for, you know, you're going to be most coaches are probably going to be around 500 or a self 500 with the team that they're

[00:33:24] until they get the quarterback position figured out. So we're like, you know, from the defense of group filled out. Yeah. So on a scale from one to ten, how shocked were you? Well, you heard that

[00:33:34] little bell a check was not the Patriots coaching more. Let's shot. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say six five because because realistically, based off of coaching performance since the 2020 season, he deserved scort me and the potential to have his job status altered. And then there's

[00:34:07] something we fired, but hey, we're going to take the GM responsibly from you. We're going to take away, you get last say because I can't remember what coach it was. But one of the

[00:34:19] stipulations in his contract was that on draft day, he was given like the final call. Everyone was allowed to make the input but it was like written in his contract, but he can say, yeah,

[00:34:31] Nate, two options were the case. Maybe I'm pretty sure a bell check had that same think as a GM. So if it was a situation where he was going to have to either give up some of that stuff,

[00:34:41] I guess that's the other Mark on this career is such GM hood. Yeah, either, either, either, he didn't do great, but a lot of stuff is high in size 2020. Like you talked about like seven

[00:34:52] guys went before DK Metcalf and people could talk about the eye loud, like Tom Brady went 199. Yes, that is a crazy story. What? He rocked pretty was, you know, Mr. Relevant. So he traded the second round pick from Muhammad Sanu. Well, Atlanta's their great negotiators, right?

[00:35:14] They talked about the TI you can understand what they're talking about. Yeah, he picked up Chad Jackson and I know like you said it's hindsight but just wanted those things. He picked up Chad Jackson in

[00:35:26] the second round. Greg Jennings went 16 picks later. Brandon Marshall went to rounds later. Just wow, just wow. It's a crap sheet. So this is the problem though, like it is a crap

[00:35:39] sheet. But the problem is, is what you have more of those than the other thing. Like it is a crap sheet. But you got to win sometimes but what he started doing essentially after that was, well, I don't pick cornerbacks. Well, I don't pick lineback as well.

[00:35:57] I'm just take yet guy that's doing contract that I've seen play for two years, three years. Yeah, I'm a sign of him and I'm going to give him a three or four year deal because I know

[00:36:08] I watched the find Gilmore or play me for that watch. The real reason that they beat Seattle because he was like, you know what? I got this big corner. He jammed number 15 for the C.O.s Jeremy

[00:36:36] something. He's one of the cuts of touchdown and then it's your make-ers. Yeah. So Browner jammed him up to the point where Malcolm Butler was able to cut behind him and make the

[00:36:49] inception of the rest of us a pass. So just those kinds of things worked out. The only reason we evaluated the draft picks was because he wasn't also still winning games. Right. It's the whole

[00:37:05] buzzer beta conundrum. If you lose a game by one point and you took a last second shot, you'll evaluate the shot to play a call who did inside a hard enough screen. Did you shoot the

[00:37:17] ball too early? You suited too late when you rushed versus that person hitting the buzzer beta and everyone's a big. Yeah, it's all good. Yeah, not you're not I don't think you're doing

[00:37:28] a same kind of deep dive because you're not looking at who missed the screen or who didn't do hit the right pin down or who wasn't a position to box out for a potential rebound and put back because

[00:37:38] the ball went in. Right. I think that was the thing with the pages is like he messed up some draft picks. They weren't all his but he ended up with all the faint defensive line and Hall of

[00:37:48] Fainwell offensive line, Hall of Fame corners, Hall of Fame quarterback. Julie Edmund not Hall of Fame but you got a seven-round quarterback out of Kent State that you made into a suitable MVP.

[00:38:00] One of the best postseason. So it's like I said well all we can all talk about their record but if you took every quarterback, every coach that coach before, got a dynamic quarterback

[00:38:15] and they coach after most of them be pretty close. Maybe stuff for Andy Reed but he had done it in the lab and then he had a great offensive system so he can count. Phil, he had Alex Smith and

[00:38:24] I get a 10-year 10-11 ones back in a 60-year. If you even want to bang on him, he still made the playoff's with McCorkow. Yeah. He beat the bills with McCorkow through on three passes.

[00:38:38] Yep, Monday night football. And by the way. So yeah I I was shocked as well but not really it was one of those things where I had already convinced myself that it was going to happen but I was just

[00:38:53] out of my phone and see it. Right. Right. It was just like like this that real estate was warranted. It was warranted for him not to have that employment anymore but it just it's just for the

[00:39:06] shock because you used to hit me like four things back to back to back over the last like 24 hours. And each one I was like what? What? And I'm like I was like whiskey last night so like I'm

[00:39:17] going to be the nurse of it. I think P.T. Cole was the one that surprised me. That was the one. I knew he was older but from watching him like bellachet you can't tell. He just has that

[00:39:32] gruff like always he carelessly to the bellachet. No, I know but the bellachet is not the rest of bitchface. You know what I mean? Whereas like he curls still energetic. I don't know what he got against

[00:39:44] that gum. You know say he's chewing that gum like his soul. You mean chewing like his a fight? Yeah. So so when I heard about him stepping down or whatever it happened it was just like

[00:39:57] this is a changing of the guard and the NFL because that was before bellachet is like, yo this is a changing of the guard. You know so as I was looking at it like I was like

[00:40:06] Dan Quinn this might be your job. Not yet. I don't like that. I don't like that move because it's the same thing with Rae Bro and um new England. But I don't know I watched in the

[00:40:22] linker game and somebody just got banged on Jackson Hayes got knocked on by who's number two. Oh I watched it down yeah. Yeah. It's not it's not as cool. I so co-continated? Yeah if you fall down that was a file. Yeah I'll take that. I mean like

[00:40:42] so yeah I probably wasn't the greatest duck ever like LeBron's though. Come down. Dunk it in. That's the- Dunk it in the century. Dunk it in the century. Yeah. But yeah so P.Caro it did.

[00:40:57] It did catch me off guard. Mainly because they were a tybreak away from being in the playoffs. Right. So you know and that's what I mean so if they don't want us to some games too

[00:41:10] if they would that's a terrible call. If they would have won it if they would have the tybreak would have worked out in their favor. They're in the playoffs. Do you fire him this week?

[00:41:21] With the same team the results are in. I bet after they get blown out by Dallas. That's what I'm saying so it's like- Is there a play up- their record was going to have to make the playoffs

[00:41:33] just unfortunate tybreak didn't work in their favor. So if he would have made the play up Dallas with that record like if they would have been in the playoffs this week. Yeah. They wouldn't have fired him. Considered like all these stuff that happened in season. They still

[00:41:48] the same. The only difference is that tybreak worked in their favor Sunday night and it would have been in the playoffs. I don't know if they fired him on Tuesday of Wednesday of the week

[00:42:03] that they're playing. So it was like I don't know how you get to the point where you're firing unless you're just basically saying we need to start over. We need somebody in the 41-45 range

[00:42:17] that could potentially give us a five or six year contract and that be the end of your 80 when it contract ends. You know what's crazy is that I didn't realize how- Here's a work for you.

[00:42:31] I didn't realize how a downtrodden of a franchise Seattle was right like as I was looking at this. Now I know that before he got there they had made one previous Super Bowl that they got cheated

[00:42:46] out of against the Steelers. What's the same name Craig from Notre Dame in order number three? Oh, you told me the quarter bat. David Craig? Yeah, number three. Yeah I think David Craig there was a I think Rick Meyer might have been the quarter bat. They had Steve,

[00:43:11] large- and Brian Bosworth. Those were there that was just- How's Steve DeBurb? That's why I stopped for a second. I think Steve DeBurb got to get my little run maybe Kansas City.

[00:43:21] Yeah, he was like maybe I'm there. I feel like he went to Seattle that way but I don't know but anyway but what got me was you know they had made the Super Bowl with my call and got screwed by the Steelers

[00:43:33] but in their franchise history they have 17 playoff wins total. Pete Curl has 10 of them. They have 13 10 winces in their franchise history. Pete Curl has eight of them. So this is Bella check on a lesser scale I would think because Seattle became Pete Curl like

[00:43:59] like at one point his personality was the Seattle C. Knox in the Legion of Boom and back then or did they go through Super Bowl in a row? Or I don't I think it was too too in a row.

[00:44:13] They never lost their place. That's the game we watched over at Big Mike's house. Yeah, and then they lost they lost the Patriots so I was here for that game. Right, right. I was one of Super Bowl's

[00:44:23] I don't know I don't think it is something. I don't what I'm thinking about. I was thinking about Aaron Rogers because the on-site kick. That was the year when they lost to the Patriots.

[00:44:37] Correct. Yeah, okay. That was that was that was stuff to watch and I was telling someone about this year that day you know I sometimes watch our stream and your couple seconds ahead of me. I was on the phone my dad he's watching on TV. I'm streaming it.

[00:44:56] The touchdown happens because it was a little touchdown before it's the ball got snapped on what I was watching. I think it might have been Kate. I think he just he just was a different signal

[00:45:10] but he said touchdown before the ball was snapped on my TV and I was like so that's one thing I remember about that. Once again, I'm gonna give what's the ball name P. Carotas saying like Olive Branch I gave to Bill. It takes a lot

[00:45:30] to coach NFL game we don't have all the firepower you need all the levels for your system to work. Right but once he had it all it worked and I talked I talked about this before

[00:45:45] it on the show when we were talking about like I was like Philip Rivers or you know Jaylin Hurts or Kansas you know Kansas you Josh Allen recently we were talking about it with Peyton Manning

[00:45:57] we were talking about every year you will not have a championship team. I talked about last last episode with basketball like you got five or six teams that really have a championship team built in Ronald. So you're not going I don't expect I didn't expect the Houston Texas

[00:46:15] granted they made the playoffs but I don't have the same expectations for them as I did for the dolphins with the speed they have on offense that I have for the Kansas cheese with their pedigree.

[00:46:28] So you have an opportunity to just play get better and continue to progress and I think Peacre always did that and then when he got Russell Wilson get keep mind they had Matt Flynn they signed

[00:46:40] him a little bit contract they got Russell McLeaton third round and then a training camp they were like well I know we're paying this one guy but this young guy that we're paying $700,000 a year to

[00:46:54] is out shining hand through many can't training camp and now preseason so we're going to go with him it's the same thing that Bellachick did I talked about I was thinking about this early because like

[00:47:05] when I before I knew we were going to record I think a conversation I'm going to have with you think about if they call the tuck rule play a fumble and the Patriot season ends right there

[00:47:20] in the snow Drew Bletsor was a high-spay quarterback in the league he goes into the fumble season as a starter if Tom doesn't want to Super Bowl so now Drew Bletsor's career

[00:47:37] didn't spend many years after that thinking a bit Dallas for a while then he had been for Romo and I was pretty much in it was career now he's up to watch to make it wine but it's not a

[00:47:47] knock-on-bletsor is the matter of making that stand with Tom Brady that will be an overturn getting to the Super Bowl beating the greatest show on turf it gave him what 18 seasons with Tom Brady and a time play like two or three more with Tampa Bay so he got

[00:48:08] off of that one year where he could have got nothing like think about if they call that a fumble he doesn't get 18 which it was per the rule I stood on to stand it like I never really

[00:48:21] looked into it but I stood on with the understand how it's not a fumble but someone explained it and they made that announcement and then Tom Brady went on a win seven Super Bowl but in

[00:48:32] a situation where if that play isn't called the way it is he didn't get the 18 if before even if Drew Bletsow doesn't slow up on the sideline if Drew Bletsow just jogs out of bounds

[00:48:45] and doesn't get hit Tom Brady never comes in a game you know and then like I said we could look that's a hypothetical but we just look at that play that the the the tough rule play

[00:48:58] if that's called a fumble you don't get 18 years of time in bill you don't get six Super bowls you don't get at was that eight Super Bowl appearances nine nine so even six

[00:49:14] three and then he went one in one and over Tampa Bay talking my time Brady so 14 as he championship teams that's a lot I think it takes and it takes a lot to keep that kind of

[00:49:27] marriage together because everyone wants credit everyone a lot of them were at home too a lot of them at home a lot of first round by as they dominated the vision we saw my Amy have

[00:49:38] a lead division December 1st and then essentially get dominated and lose I don't know the vision you think you think New England you think New England in 2012 is letting Buffalo beat

[00:49:56] them twice in Wengie a little at home to win the division snow way nope nope I told you Buffalo was coming and then my guy Mike Rable you don't have any out of Tennessee you know we were

[00:50:09] talking about that for a few months come on Mike you know Mike's all I'm not gonna hurt his goat we're talking about for a few months and we were wondering if Tennessee could or would actually do it

[00:50:21] there were times where I knew it was going to happen there were times that I didn't think like hey I'm gonna fire him you know all the way down to the wire basically you know he not Jacksonville

[00:50:30] up the playoffs it was like they gotta keep up right there's like no they don't you would we talk about this a lot like your stack I have kind of like I think I've kind of peg myself

[00:50:47] the relationship guy of the show like you give the numbers I kind of get the right guy doctor you just like the the psycho analytical guy you know this is what I think you know that's

[00:51:00] just it's a gift you know we all don't have it but we talked about we talked about how in Tennessee for the last couple of years it didn't feel as if Rae Rale was really consulted on

[00:51:18] decisions it felt a lot of times as if other people were making decisions and he was left you know to you know pick up on what was going on I could tell by his tone I could be wrong but I'm just

[00:51:35] guessing I don't think he was a big fan of drafting milk willas because he thought it was like I don't need another project according to have Tana Hill Tana Hills already kind of a roller coaster

[00:51:49] why would you bring in another guy receiver he Tana Hill has some good yes good runs in them like I say it was it was four or five teams that had been like Minnesota like police when that

[00:52:03] Q and the Q and the spot for Kirk Evans they would have gladly taken a stable Tana Hill that I would have given you 17 touchdowns and nine picks over the last set. They could have traded for him instead of

[00:52:15] dobs but Tennessee wasn't going to give that up because Tennessee had milk willas in the world levels so it just was like one of those situations where I think he was probably good with Tana Hill

[00:52:27] and didn't want the quarter because now if you are if you don't give me a player that I don't want and you're going to make me plan that's why he only threw 16 passes they gave with

[00:52:40] a page of a home through 63 and he pulled them out of a preseason game because he went through the ball he was like I don't need you to run it you can throw the ball you're a quarterback it

[00:52:49] just it just felt as if the control might even have control but just like the respect for what he wanted his management to do for him they said after all levels like you know what you might

[00:53:03] talk about and he said something along a lot of some paraphrasing here he said to come back to him in a couple of days you know what things kind of get figured out and that was Sunday after the game

[00:53:19] because he must have felt like this is it for me. You think that when he was talking to the owner and the owner told him he was that they were going to relieve him you think he looked at the GM

[00:53:30] and said did you tell them that I didn't want will levels did you tell them you bitch? It was Steven A. Yeah honestly the I think the beauty part about my gray role is that when you look at the market he's hot he's the problem that you want

[00:53:53] I even earn a more than a la Bama list. I don't I don't know if he's a college guy but it's for it's NFL as far as NFL he can go you could go right here you could put a

[00:54:07] misceo atle right here you could put him with the commanders he's easy feeling because it's Tennessee from Steve McNair and then it was a huge gap yes and then it was

[00:54:24] Tanya Hill and Raeble it was like Steve McNair Eddie George and then it was a huge gap from the Miracle at was a college visit city or musical musical music city miracle it wasn't a lot you know they

[00:54:40] then had that Super Bowl rent that was pretty much that was that was their run for a while they were just an entertaining team and an up and coming you know those games they used to see me

[00:54:52] make the next in line city yeah so the Raele lists and every games so they were pretty much locked in to being being a pretty successful team and they just they kept drafting quarterbacks they kept

[00:55:07] they didn't pay their Henry it just it just felt as if the new guy came in and wanted to imprint his own thing ever and I'd give a quick military story out of the guy we were both training re-trained

[00:55:19] his detect you know as re-trained his text sergeant and we were talking about changes and people coming into the kind of like just doing whatever any city talked to this captain when he came in

[00:55:29] and he's like I wait 90 days a way 90 days to see how the processes are what works what doesn't and then if something works after 90 days and I can't even understand why you do it you leave it

[00:55:43] but if it doesn't work I'll explain like hey over the last three months I will watch this process and these are the flaws I have with it. I think the Titans GM did that I think he gave it this year

[00:55:55] I think he was like let me see if this works. He ought to fire himself a trained AJ Brown I don't think I don't think this guy's not just a new guy this is new guy this is a guy

[00:56:07] to get from San Francisco this guy didn't fire the guy that got rid of AJ fire to get they should have the AJ Brown tree would have not been that bad because it gave them two first round picks they just with them right

[00:56:26] because if you're fully is like oh we just traded AJ Brown for first round pick that's the kind of talent you want to get at first round anyway so if I can trade you this first round pick for a

[00:56:38] guy notice an optimal talent like for instance if you were who's probably hot right now okay all you just in feels like example before you know good to go if you are a team like

[00:56:53] you know you're drafting 25 24 25 and straight up you can just trade your first round pick and maybe some compensatory picks for Justin Fields essentially you look at it like I've traded a first round pick for a first round quarterback who just wasn't like the team just wasn't happy

[00:57:14] with them because they had another they have another shiny pinney coming in I think that's the deal that he got into the sea with that tree AJ Brown's done a couple interviews he's one on a

[00:57:24] raw room since he said he wanted to stay in Tennessee because he has a daughter and he wanted to be close and his the conversations that he was having was making him think it was going to get done

[00:57:35] but also at the same time thinking like it might not get done you know like that that uneasy feeling and it didn't work out but I praise the GM you know I applaud them for given it a year

[00:57:47] but might Rae Role if I'm the chargers I'm calling I want to talk I'm talking to his agent to find out when I can speak to Mike if I'm Washington I'm calling if I'm at Lannum calling

[00:58:05] you might have to wait though oh yeah it was called now you might have to wait though for who the sea what happens with Sean McDermott or Mike McCarthy I am not going to Dallas

[00:58:22] I'm Rae Role and I'm not going above below I wouldn't go I wouldn't go to Buffalo if they because your quarterback has already eaten 265 yes 265 getting to over next you know

[00:58:38] I think it's the first year of the extension so you can't even put your stamp on a team because you're kind of handicapped with the quarterback taking them 40% of your cat

[00:58:47] Herbert got some money I want to get kicked in get though you know those exchanges work but they they still in cap trouble because I'm thinking that they're going to have to cut you can move

[00:58:58] both so you can move them and make some pieces before your quarterback 40% kicks in because if you if I can move killil mag and I say I draft the kid in the third

[00:59:15] second third round that turns out to be a nine sack guy I move both in a train maybe get a cup of thirds of second whatever the case may be and I get some more pieces there you build and then

[00:59:32] I think next year Herbert contract kicks in why got some young guys are out here getting you know they're doing a thing I'm getting nine sack I've been getting past the flexions like with Seattle ended up with ultimately with these two young corners they're working corner

[00:59:49] I think he did lead lead last year in the sections I don't know if he led the lead but he was like five six he was up there yeah and it was like you know so you get you get something like that

[01:00:00] flowing and you're in a place that's warm so I won't be physically frustrating you know sometimes you remember those nice and hill when it's just like so cold you remember I remember there was

[01:00:13] always one day every year in the winter where the wind would just blow to the valley of rip you with shit and stuff all the Fed extrax were flipped over and the track can't

[01:00:26] be flying everywhere one time I rake leaves right on like a Tuesday night rake two day ones in night rake leaves and the sun went down I'm like alright I did it after work I'm like oh bad these

[01:00:38] up the bar right the wind came through the next day my yard was clear every lead that had raked up with down the street my yard was immaculate because it went when it went through the valley when it

[01:00:50] came out like I I was in came it was always just for like one day there's always one day my trash came was of course you did my name was dry later yeah it was like three houses down and there

[01:01:00] dry way had to walk down and bring it back but that's how hard a women's point but when you're in LA you probably not gonna get that you probably got good weather you're probably going to be

[01:01:09] able to land uh some good free agents because they're gonna it's gonna be space it's gonna be space not opportunity in LA I'm not going to New England I'm not touching New England at all because

[01:01:24] the expectation will be because I've heard I heard it yesterday a couple of times I believe it was on I'm first things first and they were talking about coaching trees the shanna hand

[01:01:35] coaching tree and Andy we coached you get a done the coaching tree and they were talking about why I was a good reason oh good past the wrong why it was a good reason for Rae able to go

[01:01:45] because he's off of the bell secretary and someone was like no no no he played for bell secretary played for bell secretary he's not a coach of the tree and then somebody else said it again

[01:01:55] and they made the same mistake saying tree and it did like I think it was like they had to correct them again they were like no no he'd not off the coaching tree I spoke of the fact you don't

[01:02:04] want to follow the legend you don't need a guy that follows the legend you want to be the guy who followed the legend you want to be that guy speaking of which according to Styrofoam

[01:02:16] Ralph of the hot box you know I had a conversation with them today shot out for those guys and all residents say Dallas might roll Jade lethal you know according to him because you know Patriot fan extraordinary he's been hearing that the answer at head coach might be

[01:02:40] Mayo that was on the staff because you can fire him easily you can get this guy it's like playing chess I'm not calling this guy upon but you put someone out there with no head coach and

[01:02:58] experience and any goes one and a half two years and you're cumulative up more draft picks because you're not that good of a team and I don't see any can't coach I just it this it just isn't

[01:03:16] likely yeah if you're going to keep a guy that learned under your previous guys to the lich you're going to get this same result like if I taught my if my son was sitting here taking

[01:03:29] notes on his pie cast and then I said I don't want to do it anymore any sat down and he just sat down because he learned it but tell you does it is sound a lot like the way we do it

[01:03:40] they might try to do some different things but essentially like what you learned what you've absorbed for a year or two sitting here watching us do this it's going to look in sound

[01:03:50] pretty much the same but maybe a little nuance here a little minutia here and there but for the most part it's going to sound exactly the same so Gerard Merrill I know one of Billbelch's

[01:04:01] thing was big linebackers he wanted big heavy hitting linebackers he didn't really care about the the hybrid guys like the guys that Dallas has the guys that San Francisco has the guys that Cleveland have when you have these guys who could have been safety's 15 more pounds

[01:04:18] you make my hybrid linebackers I got like a laminate of the lull can for a lull can you know out of it was an Atlanta nice and Jacksonville he wears 23 so he looks like

[01:04:32] a safety but he's a linebacker but he flows side to side with ease doing your linebackers with just big bodies revolving through it so there's a lot of guys like that Rusky Rusky was

[01:04:47] a covered anybody in space yeah but wasn't covering tight ends on scene brown you know like there's no what they did so if I would have bring these this kind of coach in he's going to

[01:04:59] essentially potentially you know have the same kind of philosophy I don't know if Bill retired though I don't know if he's not picking too close to the wins record but that's it is that wins record

[01:05:13] that's two more years it's okay say he gets it because 15 wins right right in the games there to be 34 games so going 15 and 19 over the next two years is like sufficient to like

[01:05:29] be like a the best record but you go your sub 500 yeah because we don't grow yeah because I mean he's not sitting there saying to himself I'm going to go 15 to 19 you know to me he's sitting there saying

[01:05:44] right start Bill Disculture and we go seven and ten this year next year we're 10 wins that's the way these people think yeah but even with that it's like is that worth it is that worth

[01:06:01] is it worth what we're looking at March the season so season ends for most teams sometimes in January if you don't take a break which I imagine he doesn't now you you're ramping it up in March

[01:06:23] when the new the new year starts for the league right draft is April May April 25 rookie camp mini camp preseason regular season is it is are those 20 months that you have to do over the over the

[01:06:42] 24 month window is that worth it just to say I got more wins than the whole year no it's not a number it's not like a it's not like 714 with baby roof me so that the number it doesn't like resonate

[01:06:56] in the the halls I think it just depends like if he still like in the floor if he still likes the teach if he still likes the coach defense then yeah I just I don't know like I said I talked to

[01:07:12] you earlier about him being super excited about watching Ed Reed he was on that I think it was like NFL 100 NFL time one of like some kind of NFL that we're especially where it was him paint

[01:07:26] manning Tom Brady what an amount of radius from NFL network and other persons sitting at this in a like a big table like it was like a illuminated table there's having a conversation

[01:07:37] and he talked about Ed Reed and his excitement talking about how Ed Reed made like the greatest place ever seen a free safety make but really all he did was like he just full paint manning

[01:07:47] but he's supposed to like break to the middle of the field to cover it and then he just spun around back to the quarterback got to intercept him he's like still one of the greatest ways that we're

[01:07:58] gonna appreciate to make I'm sorry y'all the bills bill. Yeah you're right there we go you tough even more that's bill bell chicks talking about Ed Reed so maybe he gets into that space to where

[01:08:10] he just talks football he does the whole John groom thing and just you know has maybe if he has the personality to have like the QB room and with the whiteboard like John groom does you know

[01:08:23] spiders E x y banana whatever that plays quality he can't keep it from out he could see just the intricacies of like cover four quarter four yeah cover two this is why it doesn't work

[01:08:35] I think it'd be dope but if if that's enough that thing there would be dope but yeah and though they're talking about bill to Atlanta I saw that a couple times I don't know

[01:08:45] Atlanta or really bad apparently you know saying hey if those got four five years of coaching then I'll take it but if you get that's why for real right that's life bill right you fall in love

[01:08:57] with your abuser it was one game it wasn't like pain it wasn't one game it was our super bowl it was not like that Ryan lost three games that day well he's still one MVP yeah yeah I'm sure

[01:09:15] that's the same number in the past short that's what he was check I'm sure that's what he wanted but hey like while we talked about all this football we might as well get into these playoffs

[01:09:25] you don't say so uh we go take it for the top Houston hosted Cleveland go Houston I Houston I think the the coach rookie quarterback rookie coach combo you're gonna hear me talk a lot about like the mentality and like the the the the the

[01:09:50] mental aspect of in teams like being on the same page I just believe that going into the fourth quarter down 17 10 or 14 10 and the defensive struggle six minutes left Houston gets the ball I think C.J. Strauss can look in the eyes of the men in the huddle

[01:10:09] and they'll look at him and like you know this guy's gonna drive us 80 yards and they'll believe it and you'll see and you'll see the plays you'll see the the third and eight conversions you'll you'll see the things you need to see out of them

[01:10:24] because they don't know any better we we had him going 3 and 14 4 and and 13 they went 10 and 7 one at division with a rookie coach a rookie quarterback that went second to a guy

[01:10:38] and it was people saying that C.J. Strauss is gonna go 12th and his specialty Domeco Ryan specialty wasn't even that great he just they just played they just I think they just believe

[01:10:55] C.J. is gonna get me this ball if I get open at bummer while I receive her and the defense is like if we hold them till field goal C.J. is gonna get a success now we're gonna win

[01:11:05] you ready for your two five moment oh you got one come on hit me with it I got a bunch of them as you can see right here Rack far let's go all right so what was my criticism of one

[01:11:20] that press got the season he didn't win against teams at winning records no remember his splits how he played home on a road yeah there you go so this was as of two weeks ago this is before

[01:11:38] the game where to start or set I didn't want to include those stats in this Cleveland at home gives up 13.1 points per game on the road they give up 30.7 what at home they get

[01:11:56] all the replay stop stop going on you can't even with that just kind of skip over it you told me to be a referee fire they think of 13 points at home and 30 on a road yes at at home they average

[01:12:13] 3.6 sex a game on the road 1.8 so half rushing or passing yards at home they give up 135.5 passing yards on the road 236.2 completion percentage is 6 points higher on the road when they're on the road

[01:12:40] rushing yards at home they give up 87.4 away 1222 give me the taxes but that's not all the reason I'm taking a clean run road no I'm taking the taxes I'm taking the taxes I would have logged off

[01:12:57] even to pick leaving that you've got no he because but that's not even the reason I'm going to pick clean I mean I'm going to pick Houston I'm going to pick Houston because their quarter back doesn't

[01:13:07] give the ball away so CJ strout five interceptions over 15 games Joe Placo eight interceptions over how many games he played I think he played six and those five interceptions for CJ he had one

[01:13:26] then he had a game we got a second one and then he had a game we had three yeah and he hadn't had any sense so the rounds are three and five on the road this season as you could imagine

[01:13:39] with some of those stats that I ran down that does include the game against the Cincinnati last week that does include all win at Baltimore you know I just think that if this was Joe Placo say

[01:13:57] six years ago yeah I would probably pick Cleveland because I saw the stat today going around that he's never lost a wildcard game you know but uh yeah first time everything you know so

[01:14:14] we take it up to Orchard Park like every going crazy they talking about 25 to 30 mile an hour wins could get up to 50 yet parts of the game you know so it's gonna be a little ugly so uh

[01:14:29] I know you'd like to do this thing where you're like I don't know why I pick against Mike Tomlin so are you picking against Mike Tomlin right now? uh yeah unfortunately oh unfortunately I mean JJ was not playing or TTC was not playing JJ was your right

[01:14:50] JJ was your right JJ was you go man it's still you but JJ you know TJ is not playing you talked about their record with their like one in ten and what he does to play yeah Josh Allen has him and playing great

[01:15:03] recently like I think his complete percentage dropped like five to seven percent TTC on a sub-short show about is about the same but they're at home the weather's crazy and I'm I'm not a believer in Pittsburgh's ability to create

[01:15:24] insisting long drives or create big plays for short short drives big touchdown plays I don't see the I know the Dante John's had a good one last week he took a slant to get that

[01:15:37] a house or recently but makes him root off his numbers last week I believe it was something like 12 for 14 for 123 yards yeah so it was like I don't know what you generate because the beat Buffalo Buffalo got the pump returned against Mike that was the big play

[01:16:00] Josh Allen down to sideline to the five days throwing off his back foot ran and he'd do it in the central of his back foot earlier but then he came right back and

[01:16:08] threw it through the bomb the stuff on the days of his back foot you know he missed them earlier I just think Buffalo was going to be in a position to create those opportunities more consistently throughout the four court is where I'm not sure Pittsburgh whatever I don't

[01:16:24] think Pittsburgh is going to have a single play that looks like it's going to be a big play like a deep shot a deep post route I just don't see I don't see root off hitting the play action

[01:16:39] hitting that back foot and driving the ball down field whereas I think Buffalo will make three of those kind of throws or plays per quarter I think they'll right then he will try to mix the 40

[01:16:54] yard play happen even to the detriment of the team but if Pittsburgh is to ball back I don't believe they're going to they're going to threaten Buffalo the other way so did you hear what song got name the best beat ever black he a little bit

[01:17:15] muskley for I just figured which I what Pittsburgh no no I'm setting something up here I'm setting something up here the best yeah it was shook ones you know it was good today yeah

[01:17:28] it was chosen as the best beat ever so shopping derby take your time and win this game think it through because the next show we might do might be about you you know said so if

[01:17:41] Sean McDermott doesn't win this game yeah that was so good I'm sorry I've left his door all but that was good I was trying to set up I listened to the shit ones like before I think my

[01:17:55] shot before we started recording like that I went I put in 90s hip hop in my apple music and that was the first song so that's it's funny that you just hit me I didn't even have that

[01:18:05] in my notes like it literally just happened just now but you know but this is the thing you lose this game after all the momentum that you built to close out the season then what's different about Buffalo then has been different than the last two years

[01:18:21] when you were supposed to be super bulk attenders when you were like the only team that should beat Buffalo at this point in the AFC is Baltimore you beat my anti twice already

[01:18:33] hold up let me do this let me let me do this you yeah you beat my anti twice you want to arrowhead already so if you play Kansas City again they're coming to your place you know um

[01:18:45] Houston's got a rookie quarterback Cleveland can't play on the road apparently correct you know so that leaves Baltimore as the only team that you should feel we're up against it and it's at

[01:18:58] Baltimore so you so you should feel I'm not talking about us I'm just talking about as a Buffalo bill you should feel that Baltimore you remember a locker room you should look around like

[01:19:10] the only people we have to focus where you're about as Baltimore because we haven't seen them yet yes we gotta worry about us because our quarterback keep doing dumb shit but besides that

[01:19:20] we just got to look at Baltimore and this is the thing right now with that being said we don't know if not to hear us is going to play or not I saw he wasn't practicing

[01:19:31] and he threw him up you can't throw him up and if it happens we don't know if Garrett is going to play and you know I'm already Cooper still dealing with the heel but anyway I don't think

[01:19:45] Pittsburgh runs the ball well enough to do what they need to do in this game with the weather like I don't think that Buffalo is going to look at Pittsburgh average in five yards of

[01:19:59] Kerry or something like that you know basically Buffalo has zero reason to not have eight dudes in the box basically look like trash last week like he looked like kitty picket last week

[01:20:14] you know when we were watching the game against Baltimore because all three of them are saying Mason Rudolph Mr. Biscuit and Kenny picket all the same court he just all to say to biscuits just run a little bit more you know but that he doesn't run because he

[01:20:28] drives it through and he just he's like his throws making a sense like the game because the weekman I was like this dude is not an NFL quarterback and they were just very one of my

[01:20:38] mind that he was but it's very telling that kitty picket's been healthy for two or three weeks now and he's not backing the lineup. So so with so according to Dallas and Thomas last game

[01:20:55] of course yeah according to Dallas Mike or the hot box he brought that up today because he feels that Mike Tomlin has been lucky when it's loop games and all this kind of stuff like that

[01:21:04] you know he's not like he's having a two five moment but but yeah I think Buffalo is just the defense struggled a little bit after the injuries first started happening but they still finish

[01:21:17] top-fitted the league so you know it's gonna be a tall task to walk up into Orchard Park and win because what? Because nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo bills. So then you know shout out to El Reza did say hashtag boy cop Pica

[01:21:38] you don't know why it's not on TV. Get this football game from behind the payboard but luckily since I watched the WWE network I got Pica but guess what? I still not going to watch it

[01:21:50] on Pica because hashtag boy cop boy cop. So stream it logical just to spite them. The Miami Dolphids coming in off of this two-gay losing streak going into Arrowhead where there's no receiver to be saying who wins? All right shout out to Chris Miami fan

[01:22:12] have it watch it to show probably one of our biggest fans like sir because he tried to heat me up after the videos posted he'll hit me up with a question I think about like

[01:22:23] maybe you watched that far into the show because I get it's a long show like we're at an hour and 22 minutes now and I get this long time and we appreciate everybody for watching.

[01:22:30] Well luckily I put the top stamps in there you know what I mean so they know where to go to it so he asked me because you recall after I don't know if there's a Miami game or if it was

[01:22:44] the rate I think it was the rate it was game and I was like definitive like I don't think can't see any wins. I think they lose their first playoff game. Right and I was going to

[01:22:54] sway from that remember the conversation we had other day talking about the speed and tool and I've been going to throw in a win. I'm going to stick to that take that I had because I haven't

[01:23:05] can't say he hasn't done anything that says we're back we're back we made adjustments every since there is Tony was all sides and Travis Kelsey doing the play you know essentially

[01:23:21] to play the century that I think it you know that got caught back as of all sides which I don't know what it did and just blow it dead when all of his players off sides is like right why

[01:23:33] you give him a difference to chance make a play but I see that he knows there. I haven't seen much of them I watched a few of the cheese games after that I don't recall seeing him 80 where

[01:23:43] Chris Bussar was at first he was like he's like I think they're going to win the AFC West no matter what he was like his play would have been like I'm gonna put Skymore and Tony on the field as much

[01:23:55] as possible and give him every opportunity to build their confidence up and there's only one problem now Skymore is on intro reserved well they didn't use them for least he must have got her in the

[01:24:09] shower 24 one on the floor like I wasn't on the field at all so maybe he was nursing something but they didn't do it they didn't do the Christmas or I say I don't remember seeing a

[01:24:22] kid there is Tony on the field so like I said they did do anything different Kelsey was 16 yards away from an A straight thousand year season I think if they're rolling if they're rolling and they're

[01:24:37] clicking they didn't get him some of those touch passes that you'd like Tyre Hale and Tony of Brown got from Tom Brady when he needed hit that 500,000 dollar bonus right we just like tap

[01:24:50] it forward basically a run play that was called a pass because you don't want to forward I think at their rolling they put Kelsey in for four or five of those kind of plays and get

[01:25:00] a mess 16 yards in the A straight thousand year season but the fact that they were so discombibrated offensively they were like you know what we can't even risk him not being available

[01:25:12] through the Lakers practice they do not shoot at all like it's can't shoot they come shoot for three years they haven't been like Rob Polinka is a was the boy name what's the phrase a Charlotton

[01:25:32] silly you know snake oil well you know I was looking at this game my ambient Kansas city and I have now learned that is being predicted to be the third coldest game in NFL history negative thirty windshield yeah you got the ice bowl you got the freezer bowl

[01:25:53] you know what they're gonna call this one you know saying the beat locker you know imagine that now the technology is probably heaters under the field you know I know it's natural

[01:26:02] grass but I can imagine because I don't think they used that steady for anything else I imagine that they if the field is heated right then like my mind me pick is like things like

[01:26:15] so I'm picking my mind me but if the field's heated then yeah like I feel I feel odd picking against the cheese and the homes and it read I just don't think they got like it's like I like do you

[01:26:28] how to say wilder what I got to be honest he doesn't throw many three or four punch combinations he doesn't have a big Lord Laura App that generates power with his tire it's just all

[01:26:40] shorter you know so I have you have to you have to look at it like you don't have all the tools you need to be dominant at the level that you're currently playing the cheese stuff they don't

[01:26:51] have all the pieces in place that they need to be good in January well you know I thought about this because all I've been hearing all week is about how Miami's going to get plowed so to speak

[01:27:06] you know a buried arrowhead and how Miami has lost their last 10 games under 40 degrees even though I don't know how many of these players actually played in those games I mean but what I do think for the last few years but what I do know is that a

[01:27:26] Chan is average in 7.8 yards of carry he's first in the league in 40 yard runs he's fourth in the league in 20 yard runs and I'm sure he missed four or five games you know most of it should be back

[01:27:42] I don't know how effective he'll be but you're talking about the league leader in rushing touchdowns you know water hopefully is back as well so when I first looked at this game the first thing I said

[01:27:58] was arrowhead no way no no no it didn't always lie but they went four and four at home and everybody's banking on to Philadelphia Eagles for starting pinning one finish in one in five

[01:28:11] well Kansas City started six and one and fit us five and five down the stretch yeah but people have been highlighting how poorly they looked like people gleam in the league all that yeah yeah I'll probably the only person that said they're going to

[01:28:31] lose their first playoff game you know they uh Kansas City is second and score defense in the but if it's going to be negative 30 how much passing you're going to do you know say I don't know

[01:28:46] you know obviously Miami defensively has all the injuries you know they went out and got Chris Houston and Bruce Irvin you know I don't know if they signed them I know they brought a bit

[01:28:59] for workout for no that stuff I think they signed them though you know so yeah Jay where it has me I'm really good at that but I guess if you're Miami you thought is Kansas City why don't

[01:29:10] you throw the ball anyway so we could drop eight into coverage you know and because one of these two teams can't run the football that team is Miami I think Miami can

[01:29:25] rush for all I think Miami can rush for all day long and occasionally blitz and I agree you know it has a city is also 17 against the run and in their last three games they've given up on

[01:29:41] 126.3 rushing yards again so I hate to keep doing this but I'm going to agree with this the logical I'm taking the dolphins yeah I mean it's a wise thing to do sometimes I guess let's go to happy Chris you're going to go to Buffalo next week

[01:30:00] and beat Buffalo I don't know what's going on we'll see what happens they ain't going to beat no damn Buffalo and there we go go there we're gonna go down to Arlington that down to Arlington

[01:30:11] the uh it is I thought it was weird too they got all the AFC games on Saturday and then the AFC games or Sunday and Monday that's just weird but you know that's because the NFL

[01:30:24] I remember a line from concussion like I remember watching the previews tell the truth and he said you want to take on an NFL they own it there the week they used to be

[01:30:35] long to Jesus they did they're just a pile for structure like the December that the Christmas the Christmas new years like timeframe the NFL just monopolized it to the max what you used

[01:30:51] to have the stream and services and everything they just they've taken over and on top of that think they're going to give us a good product still I think that's the reason for being a good

[01:31:02] product used to have your like early AFC game your NFC game like it was alternating like I don't remember it being all one conference on one day in that way but you know you ever

[01:31:13] remember it being so super is six games I remember being two AFC games in a C game or one day and then two NFC and one AFC game the next day maybe there's some science to it maybe there's

[01:31:26] some marketing to it you know came around out here dunking on 80 but what I do know it's not bad but what I do know is that Aaron Jones average of six yards of carry against the

[01:31:41] cowboys great answering hold up yes that's the question green bay has won nine out of their last ten I get dollars I saw that's that in the group today that's a few of the tack on the team

[01:31:55] what shocked me was this is their first time playing out of all the history of the green bay Packers in the Dallas Cowboys this is their first match up into wild card ground they usually

[01:32:08] beat a little bit later than that they've been historically really good teams yeah so I think the last cowboys greed baking that could recall is the one that Aaron Rogers can't Aaron Rogers

[01:32:24] roll that the pass you do to jerk jerk cook yeah John Walton audience John Walton I leak he's sitting in audience watching the game I know he's reading I thought he got traded back

[01:32:38] the Houston at one point but yeah he's sitting on like on the left side of the look at the right Houston on the left side of the hoop being a damn groupie

[01:32:50] um but that was a year that green bay went down to Atlanta and Atlanta beat them to end up insurable yeah I wanted nine one it one one when in the last ten games against green bay

[01:33:06] for Dallas just seems odd because Dallas has been a good team for 16 years something just like from T from Tio and Tio and Bletsow and Tio and Romo and Miles Austin like they just

[01:33:23] they've never had a bad team I don't recall I know they've won eight Nate with Jason gear a lot I just don't recall them being a situation where they went four and twelve one year

[01:33:34] but I don't know that wouldn't work Romo maybe it was you called no I think it was the part of the year that got hurt like when he uh I still think they didn't pretty well

[01:33:48] wasn't what he broke his leg not not last year when he got hurt but there was another year before yeah yeah I think they went four and twelve that year okay okay that's what I started my year they got uh Micah Parsons they weren't in top ten

[01:34:06] yeah so there you go historical facts on sports reports disorder but Jordan Love comes into this game with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions you know Dallas the only I repeat the only undefeated NFL team at home you know besides Seattle and Detroit they beat everybody

[01:34:31] five double digits so get the packers peak this close I think a big good game we were talking about Jordan Love probably November sailing oh no just go workout and then all of a sudden he finishes a year top three and total

[01:34:53] to be the touchdown passes and the game I watched against Kansas City I was like okay he gets it he gets it like I said I will bring this every week because I'm a fountains fan

[01:35:08] it was a couple of throws I watched him make that ridder what he would try that were complete it was one pass that was it was fourth I think they went for like four ten two four thin one

[01:35:22] and for shot dubs was running up the scene and he threw like a Josh Allen Aaron Rogers fade away shot throw up the scene and he caught it in between like three defenders

[01:35:39] converging on him like he was falling to the ground he caught it as they were all like getting there so he caught it as on the ground but that kept the drive going and ultimately like you know

[01:35:49] grieve a one night game so I think his confidence is went up every single week which you love to see I just think Dallas at home is so tough and what they do well travels what they do well

[01:36:00] the speed they play with on that turf between Michael Parsons Russell plan Gilmore they go off the side with that back plan MVP level yes I think you would get more consideration I'm trying to see what happened to you though some on a lower leg

[01:36:23] um who knows a good no contact just like it so what what they do offensively with Pollard CD LIM who basically came out and said hey Tyreek on the best while I received we're in the league now

[01:36:44] sit down and hold that real quick like I said that plan an MVP level is record against team above that was above 500 that middle part of the season because that was the discussion because

[01:36:56] the MVP no one really set themselves apart so they were using a lot of like I'm not sure they're there but they were the same and you know what you didn't do this you got to drop out

[01:37:08] Josh Allen fell like I said I was trying to advocate for him a few weeks back but because he had lost you know he was the reason I seen lots of few games which is something

[01:37:18] that I personally said myself you know but it says the fact change was my opinion I think it's like deck not playing well against teams on a row same thing happened to Tula

[01:37:29] teams above 500 really you know dropping back but if you look at his numbers if you look at the impact if you look at the fact that he's eight no at home that shows you at least that's a

[01:37:40] level of consistency and focus that you have that MVP like your holding home court number two c I think Rebae keep it close I think a big game I'm thinking like a 27 24 20 27 23 28 28 28 24 yeah like like a possession because I don't think Rebae is lacking anywhere

[01:38:02] did you see the spread is the spread nine and a half? no seven and a half so like I said I don't have a you got Rae bea covering that I got They're in big covering because I think they're, they're so young that when all those fails,

[01:38:22] they might just make a couple of plays off it just youth. Right. Just somebody getting open because Jordan love in his mid 20s rolls out in one of these young six foot five, six foot three, six or four speedy wire was here and just gets open. Right.

[01:38:43] I can see that. Yeah, I got it a little bit bigger like 31 17, but you know, we'll see. I just don't I haven't seen like, I don't know when the last time we saw a Dallas in the playoff as the favorite.

[01:38:58] Wildo and that form to that level because I don't. Yeah, I just don't, I don't think I don't, I don't believe that I think they'll play well. I just, I know the pressure is on them. Because that's the problem. This is the third year in a row

[01:39:16] that they won 12 games and it would be like the first time a team when three goes to the years of row within 12 games and not play in their conference championship. Well, like this is the first year that Dallas has made the playoff that I've had expectations for them

[01:39:34] as before the season I picked them to go to the NFC Championship game. I'm still going to stick with that. But you know, this is the first time I felt that way. You know, and all, you know, so good Ford Field

[01:39:48] which has never hosted a playoff game before because the last time the Lions had a whole playoff game in 1993 was still the Pontiac Silver dome. Shut up, very soon as you know. Shut up, main fonts. You know, say it. The original black coach. Yeah. No, our chill.

[01:40:08] Rams and lions. The game of the weekend for me. What'd you think? I think it's tough. Unleaning and I'm gonna lean all the way. I'm a. I'm gonna take the trade. Okay, okay. And no, I know a lot of my picks have been chalk short of my aim.

[01:40:33] I just think Detroit, everyone was questioning why Dan Campbell went through two twice. Like you went for two from the two. And then he got three times wasn't it? Well, yeah, well, yeah, so he was three times, but when he went for it on this from the seven,

[01:40:53] it was like people were question, why would he go for two? He's like, because he's like, I don't want to play timbre minutes. I want to lock this down now. I want to show my team hey, we bought that action. Just get it.

[01:41:02] And then Mike a parser jumps off sides. Another reason I'm kind of like weary and Dallas is like, are you gonna do that? Because that cost can city a trip to the ASU to the two trees. And that cold game when Tom Brady threw it in,

[01:41:15] but the tip of it and the substitute before was lined up off sides, gave, doing the chance game, kept going back and forth, long story short. Yeah, because they got a pick up. Tom Brady is, yeah, they got the pick on the games over. Yeah.

[01:41:30] But he's lined up off side. So just a mistake like that, think can hurt a team. Detroit is probably gonna make a mistake and I believe LaPorta is still listed as out maybe questionable. Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be able to.

[01:41:44] Yeah, the bone grows and hyper-sending me in the bone brews. I don't know, I don't know, young bodies are young bodies, but I don't know if you could bounce back because 60's and be ready to go for play off football that quick.

[01:41:58] But I just trust the, I just trust the energy of the Detroit lines. I like the Rams, I like Stafford. I don't know if it's gonna be too much for him coming back and bringing this new team in, I haven't even traded it.

[01:42:19] But I like Danny Cabo, I like what the team, I like how they just kind of rally around him and they rally around his demeanor. And the on top of the fact, I mean, they are the number three seed and they had a chance to number two seed

[01:42:33] where as the Rams had to go on like this headlaces run over the last couple of months in a season. It was impressive, but you know, a certain points of the year they were looking like they were gonna be a mediocre team. You know what I like?

[01:42:50] I like the foodies. I like Lord Hill. I like my body. No, woman, no cry. I like that, right? No, La Porta, no win. You know, so this is the story of the nice soul. I mean, the same way that you're thinking about Stafford

[01:43:15] coming into Detroit, maybe some emotions, maybe a slow start, I don't know. Jeff, Jared golf might be a little, I don't know what the word is, but trying to get revenge on a shop at base. So he might be a little juice too.

[01:43:30] Have we ever seen Jared golf show any extra? Have we ever seen Jared golf play against the coach that got rid of him? No, but just like realistically, but I'd be a realistic. Presbyterian conference. Like you could take about jailing her, right? Cause we're gonna talk with him.

[01:43:46] You could think about a moment that the press conference where it looked like he was like somber, you could think about time, race, slam, and tablets. Cam Newton with a towel on his head. And you look for time abruptly.

[01:43:58] A lot of these guys have shown us why our range of emotions Matt Ryan get fucking set. Like you know, like, I haven't seen any of the dirty kicker Peyton Manning yelled in their Jeff Saturday. How much you just called the police?

[01:44:12] Well, like, you know, so I'm seeing that with Jared golf. I don't know if anything gets to it. And they say that about him. Like he's like he has a real like this real California personality. I don't think the big thing is gonna get to him at all.

[01:44:27] We go and see, you know, we definitely go and see. Yeah, I don't think it's a fake. I don't think the effect is played. I think the play is well or not. I don't think that's a fact in the game. I think everybody in life, even Mr. logical,

[01:44:40] the rational, the even kill, their something that gets under Mr. logical skin and makes Mr. logical not be so logical, even if it's just for a moment. You know, saying how's that for, so, you know, psycho relationship and now. But, uh, kind of Williams and present,

[01:45:03] 30 to the end rush it just ahead of James Cook, even though he missed some games, Detroit is 29th against the past, but second against the rush. So here's strength versus strength. Who's going to win? You know, the Rams 12th against the run. And 25th against the past.

[01:45:23] So both teams should be able to throw at each other. We should have ourselves a old school shootout and the dome, one of the few games this weekend, not affected by weather. 35, 30 Detroit. You know, Jared golf, you know, finished third and passing touchdowns.

[01:45:45] You know, Matt Stafford had himself. We talked about it in VP like year. He doesn't have the numbers like he's not up there with back and then we'd touched down, but what he did for this team, but there's one problem. So Detroit got CJ back, CJ Garda Johnson,

[01:46:01] they got him back. But Cooper Cup and of course, Mr. Nakua. Cool, cool, cool. Expect a lot of that. I'll take it in the Rams. Well, I think is that our first, your first team is here. Okay, so you got to do it as well?

[01:46:22] Yeah, that's our first one. I'm taking Detroit. They did finally. You're taking a, you're taking a Rams. You said, I was saying the Rams. Yeah, I'm taking a Rams. Okay. They've finally, you know, said, finally, the Eagles have come back to Tampa.

[01:46:41] So this is a rematch from earlier this season. Philadelphia with the 25 to 11 win early in the season when they were going on their 10 in one, rough shot over to Lee. It has a bit so great lately. But it's far you will say that the win up here.

[01:47:00] Oh, no. Yeah. Living up here, you hear it like sometimes I get my car and the Apple play won't connect. And it is automatic. Like it's all like a sports radio. Just I don't know why, but I've heard a few like Philly fans kind of just be

[01:47:16] determined with it. Talking to Philly fans because you know, Matt, my son plays sports. So it's like a lot of Philly fans right here. We're talking about them. It's a lot of giants fans too. So it's having conversations and this is general.

[01:47:28] I think Philly, the Eagles just have a lot of fans. They just, they've been a good team. They both had a great like jerseys. I think even people who aren't from this area really talk about it might the thing that I don't understand

[01:47:42] is that they didn't lose major pieces to their 10 in one team. They start off this year. Even if you look at their Super Bowl team, it's like you lost some of my silly pieces. Guys got money out of the way. I see that you know, guard of general,

[01:48:03] see guys some way to get other places. We talked about their secondary. It's not being able to handle the past, but they get less sex and maybe is it I know the front end of the back end worked together hand in hand where

[01:48:18] if you can cover for three seconds and make the quarterback come off his first and second read, then maybe a Gallic Hassan rhetoric, Graham, flexor cocks, jail and Carter, like some of these guys can like get through. But they were getting less sex

[01:48:37] because the, like why obviously was just open. I mean they gave about 35 points errors on Arizona. Essentially when they treated for Josh Dobbs before the season started, it looked like they were taking. It looked like they were trying to get another one pick

[01:48:50] and then all of a sudden they just started beating like they beat Dallas, they beat Philly, obviously they beat Atlanta. They still lost a lot of games. They weren't like a top tier team. But it seemed like every week,

[01:49:04] a different leader of the team was telling the media directly, we're not focused. We need to get back to basics. We need more buy-in. And this is like week 12, 13, 14. This is like after multiple weeks of like inadequate sub-par and substandard play,

[01:49:26] how was it that a different captain every week is still going to the media saying, guys aren't focused. I haven't really heard anything that ended up from Seriani but once again, I just, I just feel like if Seriani had the temperament of jail and hurts

[01:49:45] I would trust that the team could turn it around. But they don't. And Jalen hurts, and the Kelsey, they guys like lean down to some of these leaders, such a touch. It just feels as if they're impact on the game should be more specific with the talent level

[01:50:04] that they have, like I said, they didn't lose. They actually added Jalen Carter to the defense of one. They should have been better. He was regarded as the best player in the draft and they got him at, Lee 10. Something like that? You know, with the Miami deal

[01:50:20] and Miami trades and everything out. So I think that they were, they were primed to be a better team. And the 11 wins, it's probably the season. It's probably alone a lot of when Pittsburgh started 11 and no, a couple of years back

[01:50:35] and then Baker made feeling Cleveland beat him in the, and the playoffs. It's kind of like a fool's goal. So I say all that to say that some take Tampa Bay just because I'm not sure if everybody on the Eagles wants to play a game after this weekend.

[01:50:55] I hear everything you said. It makes so much sense. Yeah, so it's a gift. My sports don't make sense. You know, said Philadelphia is the better collection of players. Baker Mayfields got these hurt ribs in ankle. Obviously Jalen hurts has a mangled finger.

[01:51:15] Keep going to get a grab something right back. You know, AJ Brown has the knee injury and all that. You know, hopefully he can play. When I look at this, you know, back and we were talking about college football. We always talk about but you ain't playing nobody.

[01:51:34] Like yeah, they're not in three, but they play nobody. So when I look back at Tampa Bay during this season, I was struggling to find the wins that impress me. So what I look at this, you know, they beat curt cousins in

[01:51:59] week one, Minnesota, you know, full stretch and everything. So you can't take that problem. Week two, they beat the bears who were not necessarily the bears yet. They lost the Monday night game to fill me that we were just talking about.

[01:52:13] They beat the Saints went on their buy. Bloss by 14 to Detroit, lost at Atlanta, lost at Buffalo, lost at detects and so for those of you counting that home, that's four straight losses. They beat Tennessee, lost to the 49ers, lost to the colds,

[01:52:32] beat the Panthers, beat the Falcons, beat the Packers, beat the beat up Trevor Lawrence Jaguars and lost by 10 to the Saints at home and then they scored nine points in a win over Carolina. So I'm not saying this team, that is

[01:52:54] better to fill a delfia outside of what you would use it like as far as the mental stuff and all of that now. I would like to think and obviously this is just guessing and conjecture on my part, you know, I think if you're

[01:53:09] Nick Seriani, being you had a conversation, we talked about it's fully bored. I'm not going to say they were bored, but what I will say if I'm Nick Seriani is, look, we're in January now. Everything that happened before today doesn't matter.

[01:53:28] Today's a new day, we're the better team. We went to the Super Bowl last year. Are you that team or are you not? Yeah, I don't think that's enough though. It might not look like I looked at it like this.

[01:53:41] We talked about that like we talked about the growth of Jordan love from November when everyone was ready to venture and say, man, they're really going to miss Aaron. They turned it around. Miami and Philly were number one, FCNSE and they both end up not

[01:54:03] winning their division that be in five seats to a team that kind of was on their heels all year and the old team got hot. But with Miami, I think it can be fixed schematically. I think Miami can just go back to the drum board, making it just

[01:54:19] be here just later because if you think about some of their losses, we talked about the the phone ball that I felt should have been like four private stuff with Tyrey, Conjormony against Kansas City. And then the punt return where the guy got hurt on the punt return.

[01:54:37] So the gap that he was in, he like hurt his knee or something and fell. So he would have been in that gap to make the tackle already. But when he fell down, he knocked another guy out of his knee and two. Right.

[01:54:50] So he like he fell down so he was, you know, of no use to the team. And then he knocked another guy out of play. So you got two guys one whole pause. And so you know, hearty, you know, of course is hardy.

[01:55:04] He runs right to the end zone. But I think Miami can fix that schematically. What my what Philly has been talking about. It's been mental and coordination and just being a good team. And things that I'd nature for weeks, weeks and weeks and weeks.

[01:55:25] So if we are acknowledging that we have a focus in the issue, we have an issue with people being prepared. We have an issue with people buying in. Those are all the same catch phrases for multiple weeks. It's the same thing.

[01:55:44] I think Miami can go out there and say, hey, let's get these kind of passes off. Let's get these kind of runs. Let's stay out of third and seven. Let's stay out of this and we can win the game.

[01:55:55] I'm not sure what Philly can say because they gave up a bunch of points to Buffalo. Philly can say Tampa Bay can't run the damn ball. But Philly can't defend the past. Can this dude with with bruised ribs? Get passes down the field and. Can we not enough?

[01:56:16] Enough to our goal at legal, like you know, you take medicine like every four hours. Give it to my hour for a kick off. You give it to him again at halftime. And then maybe you sneak a little bit in his. It's a great arena.

[01:56:28] What have you given them? I think this is a course. Yes, I think this is custard's last stand. And then they go to Dallas next week and get destroyed. Yeah, I like I said, I. It's not that I believe in Tampa Bay. Right.

[01:56:43] You just don't see the film. I just don't believe in Philly. Right. I just don't believe. I mean, it makes sense. Like I said, it makes sense. I feel like I said, I'll give you an example. Like we talked about in a little pre-meeting.

[01:56:55] And I'm not I'm not here to like to to like pay AJ Brown as like some Diva. But in the situation there. Pots. It's a it's a it's 37. We'll say eight minutes in the first quarter. Maybe he got a possession of had to punt.

[01:57:12] This is a second possession of 373rd meat. He runs his route. He's open. Jaila comes off of him early. Goes with Dallas, Goddard. It's incomplete. Mathered punt. On the way to the sideline, the conversation could be. It would jailin. Hold that for another half a second.

[01:57:32] They're playing outside leverage on me. Hold to save the in the middle of the field. I'm gonna be able to break whatever it case, you can have that dialogue back and forth instead of the screaming. I'm open slamming a helmet.

[01:57:46] So if he doesn't get the ball and they got a punt in the score is 3-0. You know in his tight and it's like we need to make a play because they all know they've been playing subpar football for the last month and a half. Start the press.

[01:58:02] You start to be like yo, you've been missing me for the last three weeks. I'm wide open and Nick's here got it comes over and I'm not sure if he has a temperament to just Tony Dungeon situation. He's in my chore.

[01:58:15] I think he's gasoline on a fire situation. I think that they're just going to run into ball downtown the through. Now Vince, like I mean, that's an easy stop. Unless you're just getting a bunch of touch pushes.

[01:58:30] Like if you get a bunch of third and one, third and two's in okay out, I'll, I'll give you that. But I'm just not sure that teams that have 255 million dialed 262 million dialed quarterbacks were going back to running the ball into playals.

[01:58:47] Well he's got a mangled finger so they might have to for a game. But we are even putting more to it. But not only that because if they do that I am picking tackle. So with that being said, Mr. Lodge, we have reached the end of the show.

[01:59:01] But before we get out of here, we gotta do it. Who you got in the Super Bowl? Already ending you got to my picture. Oh no, let's go work. That was it. The Super Bowl? Yeah, you got to make a prediction.

[01:59:18] May, let me get, let me get this next week off first. We still got 14 teams and that's half the league. You made a Super Bowl pick before the season even started. All right, Baltimore and San Francisco. All right, I'm going to start. I'm going with San Francisco.

[01:59:36] I guess who? May me. No. Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Pills. Come on man, you got Buffalo and San Francisco and Super Bowl. But 49ers will win the Super Bowl. Mr. irrelevant. All didn't talk about it. He's a law-estrat, picked everyone Super Bowl's just time-breed. Right?

[02:00:00] Yeah. You got to hit that 1100 times. It sucks because you know, preseason I had Philly and Cincinnati and obviously Joe Burrell's hurt and Philly is something. You know, they're filling Delphi and they're not Philly. But Joe can't see any Atlanta so. Yeah. He is. The one and only.

[02:00:24] Soon to be World Famous Mr. Lodge. Yeah. I am. 25. We are sports reports is or is he going to die out? You know, we'll be back next week. We're going to recap these playoff games. We go get your set up for something else.

[02:00:42] Maybe we threw the best quality there for you. You know what I'm saying? Mr. Lodge who has made it go to be. That he's planning on entering the hot box at some point too. Absolutely. I'm getting in there. I'm getting in there.

[02:00:54] I only got one class and some measures on my half the time. I'm going to make the time for it. So keep your eye out for that. You know, it's got a might be on the hot box tomorrow. We'll see. You know, I'll say it but Joe.

[02:01:05] We love you America. Enjoy the weekend playoff football. Very much like it. Peace.
