[00:00:02] What's Reports As Ordered, We're here! And if you don't know who we are, Ian! Come straight out of Jersey! Ian, it's the logical! Yeah! Cutin' off the legs of pals just the ground beef! Hardest! I'm pulling this down but I think of course. I am 25!
[00:00:31] And just though y'all know! Before I can only be in a net side, I am clearing up my cookies! And I'm letting you say you're no! Because I'm beating them down! Like the pants of being down the bus! It's a mic!
[00:00:53] We're gonna pick the national title game, the Michigan Wolverines and the watch to the Huskies. I would have it no other way! There we go! We're gonna talk about the 18 clinch of scenarios, who can win? Get in, who's going to win and get in!
[00:01:09] That body out there is gonna have a little snuff that in there, throw! And this is logical! Hit me up! He said, yo! To five! I know you'll be watching the promo! But I know you can't! But we're gonna talk about a few individuals
[00:01:30] who we feel got stuck! And then finally, top it off with a little NIO discussion! What's going on? It comes football as good for the sport as it back for the sport! Hit off my law!
[00:01:46] But of course, as always, we go to start it off with a little stuff to that we like to call! Get it off my chest! Yeah! So I'm gonna start off real quick or actually you're gonna start off! Yeah! I'm gonna start off with a little stuff! Yeah!
[00:02:02] I'm gonna keep a simple... Um, yeah! So Josh Allen said I've been a proble over patch my homes. That simple. I might be really get crazy about it. I'm a simply... I'm a simply flip it. I'm a flip, just a simple basic... blind resume.
[00:02:21] I should do this a lot of times in conversations with guys when I would bring up like Carmelo, KD. I would be like, uh, a blonde and like, D-way. You know, we're like, listen! Take the blind resume! If you were like, what do you mean?
[00:02:36] I remember when I was a young airman. There was just, uh, it was a feeling that this award... Many Air Force people know what I know. I know we go on these military tanks. Some of them keep this locked in. This is what it calls Seamor Ballotasone.
[00:02:50] Seamor for the Air Force is E4. So it goes E1 through E10, 10 being... It's E4. It's E4. But you can get in water to see E4 early, six months early. There was this narrative that was being built in a maintenance community, that if you were a female,
[00:03:08] you would get this award. No matter what, you put the package up the package, you know, document it's 206. It's the Air Force document, put up all your information on it. I had a supervisor tell me, uh, I decided to then weigh in one of my greatest supervisors.
[00:03:25] Every day, weigh in, pull me to the side, shoot me out, give me the reasons why I learned from it. I appreciate it. Respect to this day. He told me, like, listen, they should put... It should be blank. The name should be blank.
[00:03:39] Your job should be there and what you did. They grade it. They give the score back. Someone has the names. And this is okay. This person was sometimes, it could get skewed. If it's a female's name at the time. I was like, that can't be true.
[00:03:56] I'm a young guy in 19 years old. Like that can't be true. At the end of my career, I had a factor. It does factor in is like there's no denying it. And I feel like all star selections, top 75 NBA, AVP candidacy, high-zontrofi.
[00:04:12] If you took the school and the players name off, and just put the stats. And they pulled from that stack. You'd have a much more diverse, more eclectic group of names. If I told you there was two quarterbacks, very similar passing numbers. Very similar win-loss records.
[00:04:38] Very similar highs and lows throughout their season, up to this point, at 16 games completed. But one guy had 15 rushing touchdowns as from the quarterback position. And the other guy had zero. You would say that guy with the similar passing numbers, bonus 15 rushing touchdowns will be your pro-bola.
[00:05:06] We ignored all those rules because one guy has a head and shoulders commercial, state-farm commercial, a deed as deal, and he's going to cover MVP's. Packs in the home should not be in a pro-bola or a judge-out. Is that simple? If you took it, if you flipped it,
[00:05:28] and just Alan had my home's numbers, and my home's had judge-out's numbers, and just Alan got in, people will be outreach. We got to stop fring, like things don't matter, and only feelings do. Facts matter, information matters. The information we have, if it was reversed,
[00:05:53] we know the outreach would be, and some mountable would be outrageous. It'd be like Pompeii 2024. If just Alan got in with zero versus touchdowns, and very similar passing numbers and spasms, if patched my homes at 15 court of accident. Even though Josh Allen touchdowns are very,
[00:06:16] it's way you seven yards, eight yards here, 12 yards here, a buffalo touch pushed the invariant of what Philly does, but if the numbers were reversed and his straight-up was, 27 passing touchdowns, 15 rushing touchdowns from my homes, it'd be no doubt in my mind
[00:06:34] if Josh Allen got put in as a pro-bola, or over him, people will be outreach. I get that buffalo does get a lot of acclaim, and buffalo does get a lot of hype every year, but they're hyped that they're given through the media outlets
[00:06:51] does not diminish what he actually did on the field, with his feet hands, arms, heads over to someone. Heads, she knows there's even toes. And you know, and I can explore that before this conversation even started, I can explore how is the Buffalo Bill guy.
[00:07:15] You know, this, you know, the tide has shifted, you know, getting off my chest. So there's a couple of things in life that I don't like. I don't like dumb assery. I don't like foolishness, and I don't like false equabilities. So a lot of this week,
[00:07:42] I've been seeing a lot of football fans, especially those that support HPC use. They're upset at Coach Willie Simmons for leaving Florida, and to take the running back position, Coach Job at Duke. Right, and I get it on the surface, I get it.
[00:08:04] It's a coach leaving an HPC you position of a hit coach going to be a position coach at a power five school that isn't necessarily at the top of the ranks, you know, like I don't think people would complain
[00:08:17] if he was going to Florida state or if he was going to at SEC school, maybe if he was going to Colorado to join Coach Pran. And I brought up Coach Pran's name for a reason because they're your false equivalency because everybody's equating to him,
[00:08:33] leaving Florida and him, Coach Pran leaving Jackson State. Now, who promised the kind of guy who will let all you say or snow? That. I ain't going to have a hate on a man trying to raise his income. Now, what that being said,
[00:08:56] you still have to be true to yourself, you have to be who you are, shout out to Marifa, you know, say, at least a few five black out. You know what I'm saying? But you have to be true to yourself, this is the thing. When Deon left,
[00:09:14] he had to deal with people break it into his stuff, taking his possessions. He had to deal with Jackson State making all this money that he wasn't seeing. 65, we sold out 28,000 people here, we're money at, yeah. Yeah, now where Deon lost his little,
[00:09:35] was because he brought God into, you know, he was talking about how God put him here to raise HBCUs. And then around the same time we saw Eddie George go to Tennessee State. So we thought there was some kind of movement comment,
[00:09:51] now I move bit like sports reports. It's ordered because we'd have been his movies since this set. But we thought that a movement was come. So Deon left, people felt that there was unfinished business. Now, we're co-coiling Simmons took over family. Famous wasn't the gut.
[00:10:08] The meac was falling apart and they were right at the bottom with the rest of the scum. And I used that loosely in football terms. You know, but anyway, here we are, years later, Famous is coming off of a celebration bowl with National Champions. He has coached
[00:10:29] at Clemson. He's been a coordinator at Outboard State. Three years at Prairie View, A&M, six years at Famous. So he has put it his time. 12 years total that he spent at HBCUs, which coach promised him was what two, three years two years. Two great years.
[00:10:52] Two great years. With the celebration bowl, though. You know what I said? That's right. This is all of a set. This is all of a set. So back in 1978, when we had the split, Division 1A, Division 1 AA now known as FBS NFCS. Florida,
[00:11:16] and of one of the first Division 1 AA National Championship. HBCUs, turn yourselves into detonation instead of homes. Because I can live in a house. I can pay the bills in a house. And I can be proud of my house. But if you're complaining about a head coach leaving,
[00:11:48] HBCU down in Tallahassee, Florida, then go and be a ready-back coach at the school in Durham, North Carolina. Maybe you ask it the wrong questions. To back in Rome, maybe. You know what I said? He was making money at family with the bonuses in everything.
[00:12:10] He's making about the same as I run it back coach. That's just life. But I find it hard to criticize a coach that it spent 12 years within the HBCU ranks for leaving and getting something that's maybe a little bit better as far as financially. Maybe he won't have
[00:12:35] the culture that he had at the school. But you know what? But what he becomes at FBS coach? He can create that culture itself. You can create that culture and you can say that's one of our own. This is one of the guys who came up
[00:12:51] in our organization. That's the thing. You can't take ownership to the point where you want like dominant so people you have like you. Right. I built you up. Go fly. I've read the NBA and good surprises somewhere else after I taught you some leadership skills. Yeah.
[00:13:10] And Louis being in a good supervisor of the ranks of the people around me and like I got this. I'm I'm impacting all this. I want you to go and rise by this. It's like imagine you can't be real good at your house cooking food.
[00:13:25] Like I'll go to Joan House. Cookies foods I can come there and leave two pastings all of you think I can't wait for that day. I can't wait. I can't wait. So we play. And we'll look back in three or four years. We'll see where
[00:13:39] Jackson state is at that top. We'll see where Fabulous at that time. But for the EN both of those coaches are getting you attention that you wouldn't have otherwise got. So sometimes you just gotta take the lens where you can get them. So picking and champion. It's
[00:14:00] wedding time. You know is up in here, mad at himself because he jumped on this back before college game day came on. You know, back before there was a big Saturday noodle of Fox, I came up there here with August.
[00:14:21] That's holding the world that Michigan was going to win the national title. I didn't believe him. And then I went against my old pick and picked out a badman to beat Michigan on some pseudo-psychological
[00:14:37] battle. But here we are. You weren't that far off when we talked about it. I mean, it was over time. You don't know me. Like it wasn't as if Michigan was at past on fourth
[00:14:47] and two of the games over. Right. So yeah, so it was like Michigan's dominated the game. Did I? Did it? What is it? So who you rolled away? I like what Michigan did was doing against Alabama.
[00:15:04] But I felt as if there was an opportunity to make an adjustment that was going to help Obama. I don't know if they just, I think Obama was trying to kick down the front door
[00:15:23] on the side door was open. Okay. Just because they're still used to just using bright force. Like we'll talk about the fourth down play in overtime. I think J. Lamiro was so used to his
[00:15:41] sludge hammer of offensive line. Because I think there was a wire receiver to our receiver, so that makes 1, 2, 3, 4. So I put six or seven guys near the line of Scrimmage for Alabama
[00:15:54] on that last play. I think he was so used to just them being able to just be blunt force objects, pushing guys in a way and he can just run into the hole and increase what open up
[00:16:10] his speed momentum will get him to three yards. And if you're Washington, that thing Washington would be like, this might not work. But what y'all are doing right here in front of me
[00:16:27] can't do anything for what I could do out here on the edge. Like if Alabama had a mind set the way it can just drop back. He catches that snap and shot good. And he could look right for flat
[00:16:42] pass or the swing pass that are running back to the left or the tight end curling distance out of the goal line and right in front of them. Those are all reasonable past route concepts for
[00:16:59] Washington. And I think Pinnock hits those more than Miller does and I think that is a difference in the game. He's 24 when NFL season starts when he's drafted so he's an older quarterback four or five years, elevatively eligibility as you can college. I don't think he'll get rattle
[00:17:21] caught like I said, Colencar her gave me a stat that Caleb Williams got set more time this year than Michael Pinnock's got sack that was inside a career. And this is you know Pinnock's been injured.
[00:17:32] So I just think that what Michigan was able to do against Alabama, it took the last essentially there last two drives or the two best drives of the gate. So you're looking at 55 and a half minutes
[00:17:47] gone before they got the ball back to get that drive to tie the gate and then overtime. So for 55 minutes of the game that we could people to poke towards in Alabama all week
[00:18:03] about how Miller can do this and Alabama can do this and even Nick Saving talked about his own coaching job like yeah I wish I would have done better drive coaching. I'm like,
[00:18:12] literally if you, if you kind of knew not necessarily knew but if you were on the running back on that fourth and two maybe it's a short game. Michigan wasn't really doing great for third
[00:18:23] down in the whole second half I don't think they didn't convert one third down in the second half they got that fourth down conversion. So I'm not sure what Michigan could rest on
[00:18:35] from last week that they can just carry forward to next week. Washington just have to manage the clock better. I think they're in a position to go they were in a position a couple of times
[00:18:50] go 20 points and got cute. Just don't get cute. Your quarterback was 18 for 21 at one point early in the fourth quarter you did a like I said it though the flea figure stuff don't get cute
[00:19:05] just keep it simple those quick routes said a wide receiver that two wide receiver the one end number two you want literally you want to combo keep it simple with that I think they beat Michigan. I'm gonna say like I'm like 34 24 34 27 I like watching in this game.
[00:19:30] All right now it's my favorite part of the week we're in the biological plays guest the spread in the over under. I'm gonna be wrong that was goody part. What a good spread is on this game. I think Michigan's favorite part of three and a half.
[00:19:47] Okay four and a half okay. Let's go over under over under Michigan three you said Michigan four and a half over under 57 and a half 55 and a half. All right yo big is call me
[00:20:09] I'm a very normal that was been a saying just oh six so I will have everyone know Michael Pinnick says play the against Michigan before and it was back when he was at Indiana
[00:20:22] the year was 2020 where Indiana only lost one game that season two Ohio State and there was the big controversy about Ohio State had only played six games should they be allowed to be in the play
[00:20:34] off that was the year they lost the debontates and now the last year. Yes. Michael Pinnick said against Michigan that day went 30 of 50 but 342 with three touchdowns and it was Indiana's first win over Michigan since 1987. Now Blake Corham has played against
[00:20:58] Washington the year after that. Blake Corham ran from 177 and three touchdowns. Michigan beat Washington by the ring touchdowns at the big house. All right that's just gee with got nothing to do with this game. That's that's some two five is I'm right there but
[00:21:20] anyway Washington comes into this game on a 21 game when he's three their last loss was October 8th of last year in 10th year Arizona they went 10 or you know 12 and two last year of course they
[00:21:36] lost the week prior to that I guess you see LA this is where Washington has an advantage they've won eight one score games this season and they've won their last 10 games botanical
[00:21:51] less so they're not going to panic if they get into a close battle like the other night against Texas they didn't panic against Texas I think you know they get out of there easily if Dylan Johnson doesn't
[00:22:04] get hurt. Now with that being said he is going to play the how effective is he going to be? You know ankles you just never know where Washington has the problem. Texas rushed the ball 28 times
[00:22:21] for 180 it's 6.4 yards for Perry. I know Blake Corham and Donovan Edmonds. Donovan Edwards go have you again can you keep Washington off the field? Can you keep running a ball when you think
[00:22:37] you're quarterback's better in time Brady though? I'm not even going to be in this pinstay when they went like all the three times in the second half for something crazy like that. That's
[00:22:48] what they think they're going to be able to be able to do that when Washington is going to be able to throw the ball in because it's not like you know what this game might look like I don't know if
[00:22:58] you remember this or not. Okay, he remembers he takes us into the six I'm going it up. They've been a greatest thing ever. Now going in and fell with this one I want to say it was 2008 or
[00:23:09] 9 it was the playoffs doing on at Jacksonville. Jacksonville scored every time they had the ball Marry's Jo's Drew and Fred Taylor just up the gut up the gut but Tom Brady scored every time he got
[00:23:24] the ball or three or four different plays you know three or four play drives you know so they ended up winning 30 but the 28 or something along those lines. You know it being dope if there's a lot
[00:23:34] like they can't do city Rams game maybe that one that 51 50. No that's my game that all that will be dope. Now this is my question because you go out like to do the psychological battle so
[00:23:44] this is not a question. Now a couple of weeks ago I told Mr. Logical. Buffalo got more better. This is logical said take that more bit of it put a sock in your mouth and I told Mr. Logical
[00:23:58] Buffalo be Kansas City and that's their springboard. This is the question. Now that Mr. Githase Lee the mighty beast known as Alabama. Are they smelling themselves? I mean possibly they accomplished something do they think that they've already accomplished something
[00:24:17] possibly but if there's anybody in the building with the football acumen in the psychological acumen that I possess that's in that building that's in the ear many players if they're telling like you know if we get a bad snap on that fourth down we're not here
[00:24:40] because we've had bad procedural plays all day. Month months two of those. Bad snap on the extra point in 10. And are seven where the vendor stepped out of balance first? Then you had the flee flicker that literally no like McCarthy had it like jump up catch it into
[00:25:05] what so it was harder trying to get him. Yeah when he tried it yeah when he tried it then it's like you know there's a spot in Atlanta for anybody who really pushed the
[00:25:15] passer by the way second round I'd be doing so so there it was as if they were like just flowing through the game and you know you had to hiccup is a difference when you are
[00:25:30] you're scoring your first couple of drives you have a punt you know you have a six and out or whatever you point of what if it case may be and then you come back get a feel goal and
[00:25:41] they you know you're going to have 17, 6 but you have some that give us some flows let's almost stakes like you got points off the flow and then you know you got some feel goes Michigan was
[00:25:53] kind of squint like swimming upstream because there were shoot themselves in the foot yeah they got to 27 points but that 27 that 27 points wasn't off of three consistent drives a couple of points couple of feel goals on some additional consistent drives it was we're down 20 to 13
[00:26:17] and the second half even down the entire second half and now we got to make these plays happen and they made them happen because even on the fourth two conversion the wire was given
[00:26:27] eventually into squinting touchdown he had an unnecessary block in the back which brought it back so you know it wasn't very smooth and I think it might be a blessing to the skies that it wasn't
[00:26:38] very smooth for them because now they have to like really go to the drawing board because I go we didn't dominate this game these are the holes but I just felt like Washington had their into the game snifos were not managing a clock properly to silly play calls
[00:27:00] well where I think Michigan will be okay as far as the psychological part is that now they're at the end of their journey and now they can put the cherry on top of the big
[00:27:10] fuck you to the rest of the nation that you know they were cheaters and they were still in signs and now they still was rising they were Jay McCarthy said they had to keep that
[00:27:25] yeah he was at the game he was at the game he was coming to the video with Ohio State literally oh yeah you boy counters all of whatever his name was
[00:27:35] him counters now he was at the game under roles ball behind the Michigan bench so it's not as it it's like order gate and everyone's trying to distance themselves from it he was 27 feet from Michigan's moment to have a deflate gate middle finger to Roger Gaudelle that's what
[00:28:03] this is for Michigan now I was trying to go back through their schedule because you know you gotta look at the schedule and I was trying to figure out if they if either team had
[00:28:14] played a team that looks like they're a point now Michigan played against Ohio State with the receivers but they didn't have the quarterback you know Marvin Harrison Jr. went five catches one fifteen against Michigan you know when I looked at Washington's schedule I landed on Oregon State
[00:28:35] but it's hard to take anything away from that game because it was played during a rainstorm so you know Washington got out of there 22 to 20 Oregon State got to ball back with seven minutes
[00:28:45] left and just proceeded to run out the clock and not get up you know they didn't get in field or real close him yeah nothing so so you know so it's hard to take that away now I can see way
[00:28:57] in transfer now Michigan Michigan in Washington this is the ultimate game right defense winch championships Michigan's defensive line against Washington's offensive line which won the Joe Moore award for the best offensive line in the country so the game will ready cliche the game
[00:29:18] will be awarded the trenches you know but the biggest advantages in the total game is micro pinnicks over JJ McCarthy and Washington's white receivers over Michigan you know so you got you know a doing say mill in a poke you know a Michigan side you got Robin Wilson
[00:29:39] and there's a some odd Morgan who followed the first plan against Alabama so Washington has that advantage but I think Michigan will be able to get through the way that Texas
[00:29:52] was not now I think Texas well he did not through the micro pinnicks was able to get up right because I remember watching a watch NFL okay this is your will get home
[00:30:09] is this that sometimes I remember watching a replay was a slow motion I believe it was a charges game like chargers Broncos or something like that well it wasn't like a prime I mean
[00:30:23] it's a prime time game because I made football game something like that right whatever I remember watching Justin Herbert he's through whatever past he threw it wasn't it wasn't crazy past it was a
[00:30:35] regular wire see we got to despite the ball was on him he called it but I remember watching a replay and Chris Collins worth of leave was talking about how precise and how well time
[00:30:51] that throw was to like he and Allen look a little big round of curl routers so my back and in the replay the defenders hand was here and the ball was like it was like this
[00:31:09] it was like perfect time but in that conversation it was like oh just a well time throw and it seemed like the margin for error for quarterback is so narrow and the time and
[00:31:23] is like pinnicks just knows if I say it in this pocket for another half a second this guard is going to be able to block this guy and I'm going to be able to make this throw in the
[00:31:38] cover tube and I saw that a couple of times in the washance and Texas game the test I don't I don't know like I always figured the names but the test I he threw the number 11
[00:31:51] on a post route in between both safety's they were talking about as if when he caught the ball in the end zone there was no defensive player around it was like a bad coverage by Texas
[00:32:07] yeah the safety's dropped and he did this and then he threw the ball they converge it's just the ball got in this area here because he stepped up in a pocket and let it go
[00:32:21] I don't think Jalen Nero ever tested the Michigan defense that way and I'm not sure if McCord the either yeah I'm not sure if the last three or four games at Michigan's play they've played
[00:32:36] an NFL prototype an NFL ready quarterback because if you think about if you drop see the season method into college offense right now you would probably dice up a college defense because I've seen two or three more four years more film plays than these defenders so I
[00:33:00] know when you turn your hips this way I can get you on the shoulder like you're not going to turn back around before I give this ball through I think pennies plays that way I'm not sure
[00:33:11] of McCord he does got thing McCord is kind of grown like I think his his his his college football knowledge is right where it needs to be for how many games he's played whereas I think pennies might
[00:33:23] be like I'm a man amongst boys and I have been all year long that's why they one of those games that's why he didn't make the mistakes lead that's why he didn't cost some games whereas
[00:33:35] a Gallicala Williams cost his team sometimes like the U.S. defense wasn't great but I don't think he has like a year or two in knowledge on the defenders that he's playing against where his
[00:33:50] pennies does and I don't think well I also mean I also wonder what the timing means so you know going into the Texas game killing the board Ryan Grub had a month just about to gain plan four
[00:34:05] tests you know so being back on our regular schedule now I also think that when I look back at Washington season when they played against Arizona State for example that was a physical defense
[00:34:22] that held Washington for to 15 points pennies didn't even throw a touchdown in that game now I'm not saying Michigan's going to do all that I'm just saying that I've seen more of pennies being held in check then I've seen teams just score on Michigan so it didn't panic
[00:34:42] the he throw the bad pic six at he yes he did actually the bad like the the game losing well obviously they didn't lose a game but every we're also favorite by three touchdowns in that game
[00:34:56] yeah oh who was a TCU's favorite was touchdown the Colorado beat him it happens but when he said no that's not the same but it comes down to a game but it's not about nobody saw
[00:35:07] anybody when they picked me up like we think about like so on I'm sure because we had this come we had this comes because recently like even when yours when you see him play for Texas
[00:35:21] Texas you never think he's going to be overwhelmed we thought Jayle and Mirrole sometimes he was overwhelmed you think about it with like sometimes you're surprised with Ricky and if I've Ricky quarterback because they aren't overwhelmed versus guys like very repeaterman like he's
[00:35:40] there matchup just kept on like why didn't keep doing this like no one else is doing pretty pretty had a couple of bad games obviously but you don't look at him like I think the
[00:35:53] moments to be from I think people thought the same way about Lamarca they know like where he threw the ball but if you really break down like how he feels in the pocket like he just bounces more
[00:36:05] and the pocket then time Brady or patch most patch on the home father moves more than time Lamarca probably moves more in the pocket then patch because he can jump back five yards
[00:36:20] and kind of gather himself hence why they cost him the safety against San Francisco because you like you know what I can drop back and still have my eyes down a few ton of brains never going to drop
[00:36:30] back to try to avoid the rush in the end zone I think Pinnix is one of those guys who's like you can have a bad game but when it comes out to his like I know I can get my team
[00:36:49] to the promised land McCarthy is 20 at this my thing the leaders were excited 27 and 1 I'm not sure how many tough games he's been in to where other than that last those that last drive
[00:37:06] because the the the drive that started 25 year-old line is basically starting to raise on to get run the ball four five times in the score touchdown so I don't really call that but that last drive
[00:37:18] that's probably like the first drive he's been in like that with that magnitude with that own align and I'm not sure if that can be replicated we get the week where his Pinnix has been playing his close
[00:37:31] games everything I just think that I think that's a great game I think that Michigan's offensive line is going to push Washington around I think Michigan's going to do a whole lot of Marshawn run through
[00:37:45] a motherfuck of face and I think they're good to go at me I got you down late in a lot of scrimmage then and you ride that out I don't feel like a nasty televised game with Michigan Harba
[00:38:03] all misgain versus everybody that there's going to lot of around the ball 40 times I mean I think it works remember they beat Pinnix stayed in only through the ball eight times but think about it think about like if they look at their like it's they're inefficient to
[00:38:20] see going third down in the second half against Alabama but that's like it's Alabama the reason the reason but that's the same Alabama they just ran on the field in the last two drives it wasn't
[00:38:30] like Alabama's like super defined but if you are converting well you just said well Michigan wasn't good for certain third downs Alabama had something to do with that we'd turn 10 because they were going to because I was about to get it because they were passionate
[00:38:44] first down because if you did what if you passed on first down and you're normally a ready team you're normally your standard Iowa I was a running team they passed on first down as it could be now you're in second in 10 what's the likelihood of an Alabama Iowa
[00:39:02] of physical or anything called the pass play on second down so I don't know that's all Michigan shut out Iowa so I don't like this comparison like like oh I'm just bad no it's
[00:39:12] it's in the country no just a playing style playing style all fits a playing style so if you if you're running team and you call and every few drives you call first play you know passing on
[00:39:24] first down you know you don't get them the likelihood of you calling another pass one second down despite the minutes despite I also I also don't know the likelihood of the true
[00:39:37] mess I also don't I also don't know the likelihood that Michigan's gonna look like that again you know from the standpoint of I'm just talking about Washington's defense not being as good as Alabama so therefore the results should be a little different I'm just talking about the the
[00:39:57] the play calling the reason that they were I think they were in the situation where in the second second half is the first downs being incomplete and now you've got to run on second in 10
[00:40:09] and you get it now you're you get to run on second in 10 Alabama knows you're gonna run it now was second in eight third and eight third and seven and now you got to throw it on third down
[00:40:21] I think if you if you put yourself in those positions but if they consistently stick to the run and they get second in four third I think that they had to do that against Alabama because of
[00:40:33] how good it all the downs being for us but no I know what I know what I'm saying is is that against Washington they know or they should feel that they can line up shove it down there throw
[00:40:46] they didn't know that against Alabama so you have to keep Alabama off the ground players you think Texas skill players are pretty much on par with miscosco players and that like they're the four state present offensively an offensive line and they're running back I think they're probably
[00:41:03] why are they saying wait is this that not the run-and-bex no okay this Texas is right is not what I'm just saying they're starting to result so like these guys aren't as good as that
[00:41:13] guy obviously yeah but it's for like a big also a half of the point four yards of carry against Washington so if I'm this again why can't I replicate that I get it but if you get a few go
[00:41:28] and Michael Pinnis comes down and he think the thing thing thing thing thing with his whever's seelers now you're down seven three and I also think you have you down seven three
[00:41:37] nine down ten three and yes you're going to be able to run the ball you go down 13 three you run the ball still yes you keep Pinnis I think Pinnis calm his calm his the leaner
[00:41:53] and the fructice and the chaos that was happening around his feet it was different it's different then how it looked for all the other three quarterbacks in the playoffs but I also think that
[00:42:05] Michigan passed the test because this Alabama game is the first time they enjoyed it in the second half and had to play that way so what if you looked at the first half of the outlet like the first
[00:42:16] half team that the team they played in the first half because in Alabama you seem to have been down in the second half when you wouldn't have time you should have thought like there's no
[00:42:26] way this team could be this and that same team came out dummies because I watched it first and I was like defense I was no I'm told about Alabama's defense isn't great if they're top 15 they're always top 15 again the top 15 schools and there's a hundred and thirty
[00:42:45] there's a hundred and thirty three schools I top 15 defense to me is great how like how great did they look and all these drives when Texas was throwing a ball up and down the film on and
[00:42:55] and Michigan's throwing a ball up and down that's do some that I don't know if anybody was doing I think all of this was doing anything outstanding against Alabama team how long ago was that
[00:43:07] Texas game I was man I was 41 exactly exactly exactly but we saw what I didn't have a sense of I saw what they did to Ole Miss George it wasn't moving the ball up and down the field
[00:43:24] on Alabama like that you don't have any like and I get it I just I think that I think the the point of trying to convey I think I might not have like the numbers really supported
[00:43:39] but just the I test it never looked as if any part of what Alabama was doing in the entire game should have had them in the position of where they were even in the lead in the fourth
[00:43:58] so to me if I'm watching Alabama and I watch this Michigan team and like Alabama isn't doing anything to where Michigan shouldn't be dominating this game but yet they still needed the drive at the
[00:44:16] end of the fourth to include a fourth down and this is over time and I get it and also even that it's just said it but you just said it like Michigan has that I or style of off
[00:44:29] in some whatever so they're not going to they're not going to score 30 straight points it's night isn't even that okay we'll talk about this because when I was driving at you know
[00:44:37] pick my daughter because we scored you were giving me the play by play on the wilder fight he was fighting some guy forgot his name what was the guy's name just a Parker just a Parker
[00:44:47] so now as you're watching this dude Parker because I call it she was around six rounds so you watch the last six rounds so as you're telling me what's going on with this fight this guy Parker is dominating wilder for every round from 7-8-9-10
[00:45:10] so now if Wilder happened to get his feet together in 11th round and land a couple of shots and then get the knockout blow on the 12th round yes he won the fight he got the knockout blow
[00:45:27] but the other team was dominating you for a large portion of that fight you were able to land you were able to throw the body blows and that was the drive that ended the fourth
[00:45:40] and then a knockout punch in overtime but prior to that nothing about that game said to me this Michigan team looks like they are dominating the team and I feel like Alabama played in
[00:45:54] fearful because Alabama did looks close back to my original it's like they were only throwing jabs like out this team's only throwing jabs and they're dominating you only throwing jabs it took you this time to figure out that I can hit them with the hatemaker whereas I think
[00:46:09] Washington is going to hit you with the jabs they're going to hit you with the body blows and they're very confident and their love hook being the left hand quarterback that's a difference I think Washington is going to go up in this game
[00:46:23] 14 3 17 3 I think I think it's going to be an early jump off for Washington and then Michigan's going to try out the claw of back and what but we going back to the going back to your boxing point we also know that
[00:46:39] styles make fights and the thing that I mean taking the whole week that we were talking about the Alabama Michigan game was that they were even teams they were as even as you can be
[00:46:50] but we still have to be able to have a lot of questions and both of them we did not no we did not feel that way we caught it a Cortos we called I called it a Cortos I called it a
[00:47:00] corn flip I was divine on Michigan I was corn flip on Washington Texas no I had no belief about it I picked Washington and I didn't even believe oh my bag I guess that was only one
[00:47:10] that we can be in the fight but also they had played last year as well so you know to be like so I was on the flip when Washington Texas I was more I thought Alabama would be more
[00:47:26] I thought that the way the Alabama looked dominant in the third quarter early fourth like I don't think it really dominating right at Milgros Fumble really gave a life that Michigan he holds on to that ball because I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be
[00:47:47] an RPO inside he runs to the left and he optioned pitches it to the wire receiver everything looked like that was the play and he couldn't get the ball from his right arm
[00:48:03] because he did it with his shoulder like if you look at the replay and the wire receiver was waiting behind a lot of screens for the ball like he like the motion action so when he fumbled I think
[00:48:16] was supposed to be an RPO option left he just because he wasn't I don't like I said he wasn't in tune with the moment I know I'm beating the seductive you take your shots I don't think he was in tune with the fact that it's like
[00:48:32] thought you're doing this I don't know if anyone was telling him on the sideline just keep doing what you're doing ever going to the national championship game it's just my election was playing like I can't make it was taken I can't because it was there
[00:48:48] the pitch was there when he came off the RPO and he rolled to his left the pitch was everyone was focused on him if you look at the replay if you want to pull up and you're
[00:48:58] falling at some time over talking or even afterwards it's a pitch was there and he did a shuffle like he was going to move it from his right arm to his left arm to do the pitch and then
[00:49:11] big like he's like you know what I was going to tuck it and go and that's where he went like parallel to the line of scrimmage in the ball game I got let's see see my thought my thoughts
[00:49:22] was of these games was Washington is the better team Michigan was the better team but my thought was like I said the mental stuff because Michigan got over the Ohio State Hump obviously they won the last three matchups but they got smashed when they saw Georgia you know
[00:49:43] to mean and then when they played TCU last year it just all fell apart so my thought of it was Michigan was the better team they just don't necessarily excel in the big games so that's why
[00:49:56] I picked that up then but I always thought Michigan was the better team you know it just it just you know they just I just felt that they weren't ready for the moment again you know
[00:50:07] I think it's shut he knows that so so there you go but but you know it's a switching time in the in the fell we have 11 out of 16 play all teams in 14 five spots left
[00:50:24] for sorry yeah that's what I'm at to say sorry 11 because because NBA 16 and the field like is way too yeah I agree 12 they should be 12 and so well you know saying we got the 49ers
[00:50:35] and the Ravens both the current with the one seed you know so both have home field throughout the playoffs that pretty MVP I'm kidding I'm down we come down kidding so Buffalo they could be
[00:50:54] I'll all wet Tampa Bay the biggest losers of the weekend because of Buffalo wins they're the ASEs champions and they're in what's the pay lay bit on that if they lose if they lose they have to hope that Pittsburgh and Jacksonville lose so they can still get it
[00:51:15] Pittsburgh plays on Saturday shut up to make right uh first things first one of my fears she's like the left his argument for and against Buffalo because he's not a big Buffalo guy he
[00:51:28] does a little bit he's a Kansas City Homer he uses a lot of facts to support his conjecture like it's a weird it's a weird skit bail is kind of conundrum that he kind of
[00:51:39] rebels and hoping he hears that I could mumbling tag him in it but his argument is that if Pittsburgh wins Saturday then the pressure will be be too great for Buffalo on Sunday but if they if
[00:51:59] but if Pittsburgh loses and then Buffalo's in no matter what they'll play three years so for this one because I guess Pittsburgh wins gotta give them they'll be ten and seven you know
[00:52:11] oh no no then Buffalo has to win the BN you know one of my favorite card games Texas Holden bulls get oh I get that down stay bulls get away look Buffalo is going into a game if anything
[00:52:31] I'm afraid that Buffalo might be overconfident from the standpoint of Bradley Chubs out Zanean how it got carted off you know most earnin water will deal with ankles you know we'll see if they play
[00:52:44] to a bang up his shoulder so if anything I would be afraid that Buffalo is looking at this like everything's falling into our lap it's right here for us to take it that's what I would be afraid of
[00:52:56] if I was looking at it and this is something else that a gap from that show and I've been thinking about it for weeks I've been thinking about this in the last season it's the fun digs I think
[00:53:06] there's last the stat they said last seven games is average I'm like 40 yards a game like since they started winning I think three at like three at four minutes he's getting like 39.6 yards
[00:53:23] a game less targets he was the most target in how it would be a problem but that's the thing no matter who's guarding but also the Vante Adams is not getting 40 yards a game for five games in a row
[00:53:37] no matter who I can be quarterback and I'm getting the ball to him to get him more 40 yards it'll be slow it might be a knuckler it won't be solid it'll be a lot of touch but also I right now at 42 playing
[00:53:50] quarterback I don't know what has gone to you there's something but there's something this is not people but there's something also missing out of that as well Buffalo also has the third leading
[00:54:02] roster in the NFL Adam and here we have you know that's why receiver has to get more to 40 yards esky eat your best why receiver game from the same guy name of the game is the win the game
[00:54:18] how many how many shows do we do last year you and I but probably about 100 this is 100 because we worked unlike that but I don't have to imagine this year you and I only do 65 shows but I still do
[00:54:34] 100 with another person you missed out on 35 shows we did a hundred last year and next year is me and black Adam up here for 35 shows without to you you would feel some type of weight coming into
[00:54:49] you like you know the whole we did a hundred shows in 2023 now 2024 we only did 65 together and now you look at like MVP provost club like it's looking like you don't need me and then
[00:55:04] Lindsey get on around June talk about oh I guess sports reports is order only these one only these one veteran like his brother did four months ago so we got to be keen these things these
[00:55:17] conversations occur because it's not that conversation if she said well I don't think that that came from you it didn't come from me it didn't come from all the about me it would come from
[00:55:27] how you and her can I don't think that this is anything new though we came into the season thinking that step on days days in Buffalo with number so I mean I just think that I would end it and
[00:55:40] right you know to me but you know I guess for me I just have that old school thought of the W any means necessary whatever the case may be it's 14 available in arrowhead is it
[00:55:54] who's wearing 14 right now in Kansas City you know but I just think that if like I said if anything if I'm Buffalo I'm worried about overconfidence because you know ever since then not 11 thing they've
[00:56:08] been just on a whole mission you know to me like I don't even know it's like a Michigan versus everybody kind of I don't want to bet against it again you know but like I think that
[00:56:21] you know we we've also got used to this with Miami where they start seasons off like you know there they're come out the gate like yeah and then here in the season the injuries mount up
[00:56:36] this tends to happen you know to mean so with that being said I'm picking Buffalo to win but I just think that I don't think it's because Miami is bad or Miami's falling off I don't think it's anything like
[00:56:51] that I just think that we looked at the schedule and we were like yo okay Dallas Baltimore Buffalo so like I mean you came one or three you can't win all three it's not like you're going to
[00:57:08] we're saying that we're saying that they had to go 21 but it was very likely if they went one or two and even more reasonable more likely if they went on three I like Buffalo in this because
[00:57:20] I think they got a little bit of they got they have momentum I know like hey but I also want to add in I want to sprinkle in a little bit of a they've been getting out
[00:57:34] love from the media I think the Josh Allen getting snubbed it maybe maybe it's a rallying cry for the guys to get some new that got it but but to a deserve to get in oh yeah
[00:57:49] two of course we deserve the person did not deserve to get in shout out to patch my own like he can be mad at me you know if we had to act like tag them he would think to say anything
[00:57:57] because if the shoes on the other foot he will feel the same way he would feel the same way he's like it wasn't as if Josh Allen didn't put up if he put up four rushing touchdowns from the one
[00:58:10] and he had 30 total touchdowns and and mom that's 27 is very similar you put it 42 total touchdowns four years in a row no one's done that set for him and by the way by the way
[00:58:29] Josh Allen is also 92 against Miami all time so two what two was gonna get in because two was like basically number one two or three in every major quarterback category
[00:58:43] it's in Miami and people like to say it's an advantage to Miami to play down in Miami but I'm like I don't think it is well usually that's like September or so when even if even if it's
[00:58:58] even if it's now like I think when it's I think first of all I love Utah I love Colorado love Korea, Germany, I was co-op places up in station when this code is shit it hurts for
[00:59:10] everybody it sucks it's when it's cold like you give like everyone was shoveling my house one time we have solar panels on a housing here I remember I shoveled my driveway I'm not there
[00:59:22] listening had the headphones on trying to study to make master and it was like when I clocked an afternoon I was shoveling shoveling shoveling get the whole driveway clear my toes are frozen
[00:59:33] I'm wearing air force as you call weather gear and the sun had warmed up the snow water solar panels enough to where it all fell off the roof now a drive we is covered again in snow
[00:59:46] it is frustrating or I was shoveling one time and the plow came and he pushed snow back into the driveway to shovel I flag them down it's a listen man bring it down over here
[00:59:58] and I had him drive away it's frustrating in the cold but I think I got on a Miami and it's 70 degrees or 65 degrees on Sunday the heavens and temperatures going to be I don't think that
[01:00:10] adversity affects anyone yeah it's comfortable for Miami and they can be able to run but I don't think it's going to stop Buffalo from being able to execute their game playing where as if it was like
[01:00:20] windy as hell when that game went back to all through P passes up in you know upstate New York that's different that really changed the game that the elements of the game because of the
[01:00:32] but if you go down there and it's Miami is 60 degrees in this little drizzle then it's going to be essentially planning to don't for both teams like the weather would not be an
[01:00:43] impact and I think Buffalo's ability to just be physical versus Miami to coin a Christmas art break dancers if you double-time reek and you crash-line a skirmish and you make two would go to a third reek Pogo 17 for 31 well especially if water was in there
[01:01:06] if water if the escalator reem if even if water was there if the escalator changed claypoll on second until yeah search Wilson you know second and nine and that was 39 is like we know
[01:01:19] you're looking for you not gonna go back to the guy you just couldn't complete the past two because claypoll had a ball in his hand last weekend's Buffalo they ripped it out while he was in
[01:01:28] and then also you know Tampa Bay could be a big loser because you know they win and there in FC South Champions you know if they lose it is all look for grams and it comes
[01:01:43] down to the house of horrors and lads a new Orleans you know the winner of that game could be in FC South Champions but New Orleans is the only team that has a path
[01:01:55] you know if they don't win the division out of those three yeah it's a weird situation yeah so Tampa should be fine plan against Carolina you would think they should be fine
[01:02:09] you know you know with a provolson of Derek Brittle wing it there yet my bat I jumped on that one early you know say like you know he didn't make the provolvo because he played for Carolina but you know
[01:02:23] you know hold of it you know but Carolina can put up a fight they have put up a fight at Tom's during this year but I just think Mike Evans gets loose behind the defense
[01:02:36] one too many times and they're not though it yeah Davis is already go just ain't doesn't the winner yeah he's not a winner trying to check it down to no one then get into his
[01:02:46] again of course whereas when I look at the house of horrors I can see Atlanta winning this game I can't I'm just not gonna pick it I'm just not gonna pick it but I could see it
[01:02:57] you know is one of those things you know like Atlanta get the towels I get the jerseys Atlanta can control the clock you know obviously whoever was this game is going to be the team
[01:03:08] that runs the ball better you know Atlanta has three options to try to get that done so they can I do like you talk like a competent football person do you know to coach in that team
[01:03:21] and you might have heard me talk since August it's the same dude that's gonna be coaching them next year yeah that's true I'm had it same I'm had it like listen I've sent messages to them for them
[01:03:32] of fire Mike Smith for them of fire Dan Quinn and I'm telling the same thing about fire I'm just with I'm not trying to advocate for a grown man loses job Mike these places family but
[01:03:42] you're not doing the job you need and there's I'm upset for the fan base right guys I was on Facebook and I rarely chime into these groups but the only one I comment on is the face this is Atlanta
[01:03:59] face but one because I don't know if every team's fans like this Atlanta seems a lot of rational and I'm gonna pull it up now so I make sure I get it locked in with what I said to this guy
[01:04:12] or when he said to me that made me sit back and thank God I was like you know like it was like a good thing I was like you know how did not even think of this so I got a guy
[01:04:28] it's got any Mike I don't want to say his last thing because I think his permission Scott Mike I'll talk to him in the face book and the post is from the Falcons
[01:04:38] like hey unfinished business that was like the post and he was like he's like the division should have been wrapped that week for us weeks ago losses to teams like the commanders, titans,
[01:04:51] carinals, bears and panthers just show who we really are and don't deserve the win this day please get a real hit coach and quarterback this all season stop making us suffer through another same shit every season I read that and I was like the commanders, titans, carinals,
[01:05:11] bears, panthers essentially bears and panthers those are five of your teams picking in the top 10 Atlanta has nine losses so over half the losses that they have are two teams that are picking and it's out 10 carolina isn't picking because they lost it to the bears but the bears
[01:05:36] are picking 10 right now and they're getting one because the carolina so it still counts as teams picking in the top 10 so you have nine losses to five teams that are picking their placement players in the top 10 of the track ahead of Atlanta because the Chicago's at 10
[01:05:54] but from eight to one for the teams you lost are picking in that one a-rage you don't deserve for carolina to bail you out even as a fan I'm like you don't deserve it you should have beaten
[01:06:10] Washington because the week before Chicago was throwing the ball on the first down the first quarter on this secondary that you have been telling people was awful at the second period in that go I didn't realize they were that bad until I watched the game against
[01:06:26] Chicago and oh by the way here comes CD land in Brandon cooks about away yo did you know did you realize I just realized today when I was looking up some stuff
[01:06:38] I didn't realize CD land I mean granted I really didn't receive the yards one no no he's still second but he's only finished last I saw him's 56 yards behind them oh I thought he was like
[01:06:51] six yards ahead of Tyreek what I saw that I think when I saw him he was 56 yards behind time but with 10 more catches but anyway you know so yeah also on Saturday we got to win in
[01:07:06] Houston versus in the Annapolis and if Jacksonville loses on Sunday the winner of this game also wins the ASC South but yeah okay so CD has 10 more catches and I think 56 less yards something like that two less touchdowns yeah but I just didn't realize that I just didn't
[01:07:29] rely on I didn't rely on somebody who's that close to Tyreek at the time when you know but obviously he missed the game and has been slowed down you know with the ankle but yeah so Houston and
[01:07:40] Indianapolis live from Lucas oil on Saturday night the winner like I said in the playoffs and win the South of Jacksonville loses on Sunday so what say you, Mr. logical? I don't know if a real quick Puka Nicole has 14 hundred yards yeah Puka Nicole is four
[01:08:01] catches in 29 yards away from breaking the rookie records and both of those categories which I was going to get to what we got to that game sorry D anymore in 13 out of yards as well
[01:08:15] sorry I'm just looking at the numbers okay can you repeat the question again sir sorry yeah you did already the end of this I was born in Texas my dad's an indie fan I'm going
[01:08:27] an indie I think they believe in garden and meant you I think they just they just want to scrapy teams is I don't think I don't think it's an NFL executive if you look at their team and say
[01:08:42] I would take this unit from their team and put them on my team but that captain plan it kind of approach that they have that just kind of just put it all together with the garden and shoot like
[01:08:56] you got it sometimes you were really got to shout out the the the confidence to play back on quarterback and so you're not playing quarterback sometimes you are literally playing his got this waggle of a old splice cover jico be reset had it she's done you'll had it
[01:09:17] a glint in with the neck of the big dick Nick pause you know like some of his guys just really have this ability tell a hynicky has it a little bit or tell a hynicky has a little bit but
[01:09:34] he just ends up on teams to where they're starting quarterback is kind of terrible 80 potentially could be starting versus like if Taylor Inake was on a team like
[01:09:50] no no no I'm talking about like a team where like you have a bonfire starter is going to miss one or two games for a show there give them his 65 passes over two games he'll do great and at
[01:10:04] Atlanta is like you might be better than a starter but because your your Disney is a backup and your contract is written as a backup we're gonna keep you as a backup kind of position so
[01:10:20] yeah I think that's that's that's his piece so like the backup quarterback gardenman you he's an assainable it's just that the starter got injured he should be a starter he's a frame
[01:10:35] starter and not saying he's like 33 33 33 33 in the lead but if you don't have a starting but you have him I think you're good I think you can settle down for a year and would do what any of
[01:10:51] it and they're potentially going to ride them to the playoffs I like what he says doing when I like she they struggle I just think that garden has kind of just been through it couple of teams kind
[01:11:02] of get passed over I think his personality I think he's kind of locked into like I need the semantics another day he might have to be quite yoke it's with it was like oh I'm so sick of being a
[01:11:13] star and the sport that I play in America is one of the leaves I don't think he's that far but I think he likes I think he likes the positions that he's in and I believe that he
[01:11:23] thinks he can compete for a start of such but he performs it like that so on top of getting a playoff spot slash potential division title there's the winner of this game when coach at a year
[01:11:36] like listen people like they like to go worse like the first the worst coach in a year automatic like that pipeline I like the encamble like the encamble and the Troy I think the fact that he's got other people outside of Detroit sports media you and I
[01:11:55] conversation other sports punters we talk to talking about the lines as a viable you know NFL playoff can you know candidate I think that's some consideration like I said yeah of course it's easy going to rookie coaches
[01:12:12] to say oh he's coaching a year but it's like did you just catch lightning in the bottle though I actually like struggle I mean I wasn't going to pick you even wanted them but
[01:12:24] you know I was actually thinking big day but but still the same kind of story too and that I was thinking that early when I was little in my dishwasher I was just thinking about
[01:12:34] stuff that's up by tonight and I was like why is it maybe because we had the conversation about staff for an MVP conversation we probably had by three and one of those on the show on the
[01:12:44] pregame maybe you like a staffer to consideration I'm like I don't think so because we have other numbers for staff right right we have his big numbers which was my problem potential actually like oh this dude is potentially going to all the fame he can't kind of
[01:13:01] he can't stumble his way until the MVP because the MVP was wide open three four weeks I remember no remember no December 1st it was wide open but ever I don't know what day the week
[01:13:16] that was as far as games but that date on the calendar seven different people could have put a hundred dollars on seven different dies and had a viable kind like the beat on why
[01:13:30] there are hundred dollars going to turn into whatever the payout was right sure let me get job these are the things that's supposed to kind of hard to beat to have a sub or just above par season
[01:13:46] well considering everything that they lost and that you know they are relying on a rookie robber seever you know I think and not a rookie running back but I think he's in his second or third
[01:13:57] year uh Kyron Williams who I believe you know he's right there in the top of the rushing yard that then he is already done he's already been successful I know but that's not even really
[01:14:11] pretty good like it but the voters like they like was young and hot they like written spears of like Kocenia Lera no one likes to lean on back in 99 which he was singing her as often
[01:14:23] tonight hey that Titanic song to this day you know saying near far wherever you are it's hard the anyway but I'm going with the coats as well um I was tempted to pick the taxes
[01:14:39] but then I thought about that four two five you know and I thought about Jonathan Taylor averaging a hundred and twenty four point six yards against the taxes in his career and when I looked at it
[01:14:52] games at home and all the games at home it's indoors I feel the same way about Gardner Menchoo like a lot of the things that you said I agree with that so I'm going with the
[01:15:02] Colts as well even though I would like to see the taxes win I think Gardner Menchoo can kick you in troll the game and go 17 for 28 for 220 yards you know there's probably to 37 I think you'll scramble for eight yards probably probably Gardner Menchoo though is that
[01:15:21] he throws some up there oh he throws me he's the country guns from your with the jean shorts but but you know on top of that since we're talking about the taxes in the Colts I might as well
[01:15:35] go ahead and say that I'm picking Tennessee over Jacksonville I'm a pick Jacksonville just because Tennessee beat a little bit and I know my rainbow trying to give like this role just win one for the
[01:15:50] Gipro kind of speech as a Dan Campbell S kind of we can't get in they can't get in but that's I don't know and I wish NFL coaches were able to either they were more honest or like more
[01:16:17] little honest even players because they give such generic BS answers and so they get on the podcast five years as they've been out of league and allow me we would don't we don't we don't
[01:16:31] get a year you got 53 dudes that I rostered I had to go into the game on Saturday or Sunday with multiple teams that you they have no shot of making a playoffs or no interest in playing into the playoffs
[01:16:47] like for instance the Falcons players they like listen man I've done with this season I'm done with this coach I'm ready to just go ahead and take my A.R. 24 grand I made this year my 1.8
[01:17:03] I'm a 7.4 or whatever whatever you have left over at the all taxes are paid and I'm done with this year and then you get this coach up there that was yelling at you and fucking September about
[01:17:17] nine Render Harden and sprint and that day won't you go out there you fucking 4 3 4 12 5 in 11 tell them like yo man we can go out here stop til the team's getting a playoffs I don't care if they
[01:17:31] go to the playoffs it has to be a large conglomerate of players like listen I'm a glove there in play harris why don't get hurt because if you play saw if you'll get hurt if you're past
[01:17:43] a few games I've walked in play as hard as hell I'll make every attack like a meat but I don't give a damn if we win this game and I no matter how much is coach who probably is going to get fired
[01:17:54] if you think about teams like potentially Tennessee Carolina's guy probably won't get rehired the rent the Raiders coach probably won't get rehired watch those coaches probably gone oh yeah yeah it goes is probably gone it charges coach won't get rehired
[01:18:17] who was this I hear gonna be fired she covers coach when I get rehired I think it's much from what I was reading the other day and the win this coach might not get
[01:18:28] hired so you got like one two three four we have my eight coaches out here that will be back oh yeah you eight in an eye coach that won't be back makes you hear out here trying to get me a speech
[01:18:44] about less play or something so the team doesn't make a play I learned ever he's doing his get 35 thousand dollars a check for play up games they don't get their regular contract check
[01:18:54] I learned I learned I get a four-track break check from the NFLPA so it was like I don't want to go to the playoffs and play for another week and do what this bullshit for 35 thousand dollars I learned as a
[01:19:06] sports fan respect the streak and some things you just can't explain like I cannot sit up here and tell you why is it that Indianapolis has not won in Jacksonville since 2014 I can't tell you what
[01:19:19] every right back I'm gonna grab a water I'm like I can't tell you why Indianapolis has didn't want in Jacksonville since 2014 I can't tell you why Jacksonville has lost 10 out of their last 12 bit Tennessee while they're 10 and 18 all-time at Tennessee you know I can't explain
[01:19:38] that to you but I respect the streak you know we're gonna see if will levices go to play this weekend you know I'm probably gonna be Tana Hill Trevor Lawrence's back at practice lightly throwing
[01:19:50] as of today yesterday he didn't throw today he threw a little bit but the last time I saw Trevor Lawrence and by the way he's got a bump shoulder but the last time I saw him he was getting
[01:20:01] the shit pushed it in Cleveland and then he went down the tap a and got beat up as well so I have no reason to believe that even if Trevor Lawrence plays that he has anything there the Trevor
[01:20:14] Lawrence that the media wants you to think that he is you know so I'm going with Tennessee and that's just the way it is all right so then back to the NFC again you know when it
[01:20:31] lab both field the green bait packers bringing in their rival the Chicago bears this could be the game in a week just in fields as they come in all of the as of late you know even with the
[01:20:44] legs Jordan love has been on a tear for the last month of the half or so that nobody else talked about because the beginning of the season started so badly but the bears come into this game
[01:20:57] went in five of seven baton the flur has never lost to the bears not enough Chicago has a one at lab both field since 2015 you know I can't explain I can't explain it's present in 2015 you know Chicago is averaging
[01:21:21] 145.3 rushing yards per game green bay has given up 155 yards and four games this year needless to say they've lost all four you know the bears have nothing to lose they got the
[01:21:36] double one pick right now or they're going to happen double one pick just because of girl lot is in that the two and then the other thing that shocked me today and I knew it already but it's
[01:21:46] different when you see it I was like yo the bears once said it games yo say they have the media the day when I was looking at the trap the order I was like
[01:21:58] I thought they were in position that beat a number five pick overall a few weeks well they were but didn't they one five out of seven but I'm going with green bay uh they went through this last year you know where Detroit
[01:22:13] came in last game of the season not about to play off you know I don't see it happen in two years in a row some go on with green bay green bay and yeah I'm going with green bay Jordan love
[01:22:26] Jordan love I love Jordan's boss I did the same thing anything I think Chicago I've read a couple articles that Matt evil fools might become a back there's two sizes coin I think it might be a good thing for like expectations okay if I'm not if I'm
[01:22:53] owner of the GM and we sit down and it's like I've had a conversation with you for a couple years we've worked it out in my listen we got the number one pick and as it shifts out
[01:23:11] we're going to be between 10 to 7 maybe somewhere in that range so you're going to have two top 10 picks here you know a hundred days from now on top of the fact that you're you're going to
[01:23:27] have it as this week and make some moves I either do you make the coaching move and then try to hold this coach can come in look at all information you have and then make the proper
[01:23:42] personnel move but you keep the coach you have in place and allow him and his staff to make the moves you need you got Justin feels sitting there if I'm a from Pittsburgh
[01:23:58] if I'm when he's a quarterback I mean cleanliness pretty much locked them both was locked in bought more locked in you say that I don't know if we can do it because I think the win is
[01:24:17] bringing a whole cavalry yeah I think the win was bringing in it's balance check what about diver you know what about Arizona with the whole collomeric figures he going to stay I don't know
[01:24:30] I don't know how I don't know what the nuance of his contract is he just signed it right I need to be the interapplic for the president's that situation correct cousins contract might be
[01:24:41] wrapping up but they're in a position of where they can draft a good quarterback I think they can go get a good pickaxe and be good to go so Chicago is in a position where you can either draft a good
[01:24:53] quarterback right or called New England or not necessarily with a call like call Atlanta and say hey you want to get the one we want to do or call Washington you want to get the one we want to
[01:25:15] even how called Tampa Bay you call who needs a Q these at QB right now like realistically maybe Minnesota because I don't know if you can run it back with Kirk Cursus because he's out until
[01:25:31] under the right are kind of confused people the Raiders I don't then I've been at much money to me gee they got a big and a half dollar state you know pretty sure you can share with few shackles too
[01:25:41] yeah because I mean a no kind of probably isn't the answer not the guy at all not even a little bit so I think Chicago's in the great position of where keeping their staff in place even keep
[01:25:54] adjusting the fields is not a bad idea if they work the number one pick and the number is seventh and 10 pick properly but that goes with them losing this week disco and Luzis game
[01:26:12] playing just a little bit take them out put in Tyler Banger, Banger whatever his name is keep as a viable backup having played out keep your draft position because you're doing nothing for the rest of January other than in a way we're telling anyway
[01:26:32] you must well get the guy at seven versus 10 you know so all eyes up in the Pacific Northwest will be on land both field as well because the sea hogs are gonna be on standby just in case the hackers do lose the sea hogs are traveling to Arizona
[01:26:55] green bay loses the outer winds the arrows it now I don't know how I feel about this because last week by some people what well last week when Arizona won that game against filly my thought was alright so Seattle's gonna go into Arizona and win
[01:27:21] you know where's the Arizona would have lost the filly I might be more prone to pick Arizona so I've been tossing back and forth all week long trying to figure out who I think is gonna win this game Seattle can't stop the run Arizona can't stop the pass
[01:27:41] so what do you do I'm just going to Arizona I'll take the home team I was I was on the same thing it was like Seattle I think they're I think the bigger quarterback I think DK DK Metcalf should just always be hovering around 14 and 1600
[01:28:05] hours of seating because for four times a game you should just throw him a 45 yard pass and hope he just comes down with it just first in the 10 open the game take the test back from the 25 yard line I don't care what coverage you're in
[01:28:24] I'm throwing it up to this because every person I've ever heard talk about him granted everyone's not around NFL players all the time like I said I still don't know fill that you tall one year and I was standing behind Zane Beetles who ended up getting
[01:28:40] drafted as an office of tackle by the Denver Broncos he's one of the biggest human beings I've ever seen like with my own eyes like maybe it was a shoulder pass or just like the the mallet
[01:28:53] like I don't know what it was but remember standing here thinking like I'm not that tall of a guy but I'm like my chin should be above his waist in a barely was so when you get a guy like DK
[01:29:07] Metcalf everyone talks about him like like everyone says this doesn't talk about DK Metcalf every any regular person like I heard Brett correction say he's like have you ever seen the
[01:29:18] he was talking Tom's a girl is like have you seen DK Metcalf? He's like this is just a mountain of a man I don't know how to explain it he's like he was like one of most beautiful human beings
[01:29:28] are ever seen him like but he was like just a size of this person and you look at him he's like they say he's 63 to 30 like I said I read this that all last week that Mitchell Buskey is 62 to 20
[01:29:41] yeah now so that's my problem with Seattle is that you've had Lockett who is the quintessential slot receiver because he makes big plays down feel because he understands the matchup
[01:30:00] that he has over the the third corner trying to guard him and his safety trying to help him like neither you guys have a chance I'm going to beat you both but yet DK Metcalf and the Seattle
[01:30:13] you know see you all I don't have really been in that conversation for you know top pass and offices like oh you have the pieces Jackson Smith and Jinnba know if like you have the
[01:30:26] pieces she knows with his 6566 he's the he's a big quarterback is a journeyman he's been around he's like isn't the coach and if so it was like do you want to keep once again do I want
[01:30:41] to come back to this facility next week if I'm the 43rd man on this roster I don't think it's the coach I think that Jinnba Smith isn't as good consistently as he was last season
[01:30:57] like last season was the outlier of his career if you look at him you know the name so like I think that Earth just called him back you know so I don't know I'm going with Arizona
[01:31:13] the NC battles playoff hopes and then I'll take it because like I said some teams just don't belong in the playoff run it from the beginning and then in the east you know all the Dallas has to do
[01:31:25] go to FedEx and win and there you're a yeah NFCE champions if they lose Philadelphia has a window by beaten the giants if they both lose somehow then that opens up the door for Detroit to get into the
[01:31:40] second seed but this is not how to report eligible or not yeah but I got all three of those teams went in Dallas, Philly and Detroit I got all three of them went in but here's my question
[01:31:52] this is the time for Mr. logical to get into his bag oh you know I'm loving that all right so Los Angeles Rams I just talked I just talked about big bay and how I thought he should be
[01:32:06] coach of the year correct all right there's starting person wins against the 49ers who are starting Sam Darnle the Rams are not I repeat are not laughing to the 60 there is a path for them
[01:32:22] the ball to the 7 though with that being said try to stretch this out if I'm the 7 and everything in the chart holds I'm going to Dallas next week if Dallas loses Philadelphia wins I'm going to
[01:32:41] film if they both lose I'll go into Detroit if I'm the 7 or I'm sorry yeah if I'm the 7 if I'm the 6 then you probably still end up with Detroit you know because three ticks right so should I play
[01:33:00] and try to get the 6 and avoid going to Dallas potentially or Dallas or Philly or do you just let it hang and say no matter what I've done going where I go so Dallas wins there the 2 no matter what yes because they beat Detroit last week ahead yeah
[01:33:18] I lose with Carson wins the San Francisco correct I think that's the same yes San Francisco's liked into the one yes they're not they're playing Darnle of a Catholic dot plan okay so they're playing Sam Darnle
[01:33:39] in my plane Aaron Darnle if I'm playing Aaron I'm good with not playing Stafford because we have care to enough film on Sam Darnle to know that he will throw one
[01:34:03] or two into the hands of one of your defenders and of course San Darnle ceased see you go and Sam Francisco's the most haunted city in America I just made it up but I have walked through Sam Francisco and walked in Chinatown when he went to the restaurant
[01:34:28] there's a girl this walk here and he's looking at that I was only half mile away and he walked out and took a right out of restaurant you get to the corner and take another right right well that right the hill does this so to me that's hell
[01:34:49] okay I mean it's oh my it was it was April the nice it was a nice bay was a breeze off the bay you may say if you were getting out you know high fee I would be there but it was awful to walk
[01:35:01] straight uphill and Sam Francisco but I think what the Carson went in the fact that San Francisco has nothing to play for they're probably gonna play guys who might be coming off
[01:35:15] the injuries that want to get some reps in for a guy's that they just want guys they just like guys they just like and they want to see them play well because this is a big deal in the
[01:35:27] sports team and sports culture when the guys on the bench get in the game even at a young age as I've said my son's basketball team a couple of his friends come off the bench
[01:35:37] and their blunt kids out the freshman of basketball team you shot another person in freshman of basketball team just there's blunt kids out by like 30 or 40 is fun
[01:35:45] and a kid to get in that we all love and they'll shoot at three in the go in and it's the chaos is crazy I've imagined San Francisco's gonna treat the game a lot like that
[01:35:58] the four stream defense of tackle that just grinds every week is young 23 24 or like a journey men lie backer that they picked up those on a practice squad that they're gonna bring
[01:36:11] out this week so green lawn Warner can rest and you know I think a lot of NFL players really believe in a practice squad guys that scouts him guys because they really work hard to
[01:36:24] prepare them for the next week even with that they Carson wins as a guy who was on he was on his way to what MVP so he should be able to be whoever circumstances could put out there's a practice squad I'm still picking San Francisco um
[01:36:44] Sean and Wayne, California weather's time code everything is good to go so don't be right. The job is very foreign 10 against the 49ers you know but he won but he won the one that
[01:36:55] mattered and then let's circle back because we did all of that we brought up the fact that Pittsburgh and Baltimore was on Saturday but we did even pick it so I'm gonna go ahead and pick Pittsburgh
[01:37:14] since Mace of Rudolph came in George Pickett has gone pickins has gone 11 catches for 236 Baltimore City Lamar so we go to see Pro Bowl Huntley you know have the University you saw maybe we'll get some you know by the guy you know they
[01:37:37] was slipping you really kind of have maybe we'll get some a leak kind of having there too you know the ravens just signed down and cook great move for the playoffs so going to Kansas City he probably should have gone to Kansas City that's what I was thinking
[01:37:55] you know yeah I was definitely picking that Kansas City should have been the leader you know if you knew who was making the playoffs if they were already clenched I might have
[01:38:07] liked to even say them go to Houston but you know but for the team's that but for the teams that are like that we know that have already clenched I thought Kansas City should have been
[01:38:17] another one Kansas City would have made more sense because I think I think you could have been more impactful in Kansas City because I think the weight but check or runs mirrors believe delving and cook runs whereas if he goes to Baltimore here probably gets six
[01:38:40] touches 22 yards 24 yards because they can get what he gives them from Lamar you know first you could put you know whatever running back you have in there guy you have a best been on the
[01:38:58] team like said practice squad guys whatever you can run a little play action bootleg and scramble Lamar for six yards get out of bounds and you've had this practice squad guy literally
[01:39:13] didn't nothing but stand in the back in the pistol right just to just to be part of the fake where as if he was in Kansas City they would have to throw that screen to him because
[01:39:25] they can't throw them to kin and it was hilarious just it's obvious what you haven't been again like doesn't defy you but I mean if you want to get a ring I don't know how I don't
[01:39:37] know how guys feel about those because they have a Melva e-german on a team too a Melva important yeah yeah like I don't know how I don't I don't have guys really feel like
[01:39:47] if you're a former pro-bola or a former 12 13 1400R Russia do you feel like you really earn your ring like of oh no back we get to ring with Baltimore this year do you think he's going to
[01:40:01] fill the same way you felt about the one you got in LA? Well I don't know but he said the Ravens got the best team he's ever been on. Yeah it sounds cute because he's not as buttlight anymore this
[01:40:11] summer all the buckham all the time it's very weird it's very weird how they just stop talking about him yeah he's been in the league this whole year I don't know how many games he's missed but
[01:40:22] the years when he was injured all they talked about was all the buck and how many games he missed and how many games he missed with Eli to have any games he missed in LA and the paint on the
[01:40:33] field that everything else but it seemed like that I only want to call it a fall from Greece it's as it's felt as if I mean it's just unfortunate no just a conversation around like the
[01:40:44] no one's talked about him all year he gave me $1 this year which is dope yeah he does that so yeah so you know it is what it is you know but as we journey around the football world we make another
[01:41:00] stop back in college football yeah it was nice he did the beat we had in our first in our pre-meaning by the way folks it would be water down now because we kind of ironed out some things
[01:41:11] I put Mike only came I promise up what I was saying you know he's on my side now I promise that you go say this is not going to turn into a Florida State conversation but uh Florida State Department probably I think Florida State Department
[01:41:29] well no I mean but they're the Genesis I think they're the Genesis in the Laird House then the Laird House had drooled attention to the point yeah yeah they brought the attention to it
[01:41:37] for us to have this conversation at least on like this this macro scale like this yeah because we were talking about the boy bands we were talking about in I.L we were talking about
[01:41:50] players like Dylan Raiola who committed the Georgia didn't even step foot on campus and now he's a corn husker you know uh the Nebraska sweaters probably Nebraska and I said was as shouldn't
[01:42:04] went to Georgia in the first place well like I said in my rebuttal to that judge Wilson was that he is a vantignor old who might not want to leave his girlfriend behind I don't want to be
[01:42:20] fescious he might not want to leave his hometown behind you and I left for the military very young I was 18 and about 8 months when I left how old were you when you left? I was 18 yeah so I
[01:42:38] did help me for about 2 months yeah so I was 18 to 8 months when I left for junior to join him um so I was ready to go and we talked about this uh shout out you know we're going to try to incorporate
[01:42:52] more military traditions in these conversations so you guys know we were two veterans and that's just a stuff on the wall but we had this thing called zero week zero week because you would get
[01:43:01] to basically training you go to maps um you fly in so your recruitment pick your from maps Monday night at Virginia we drove wherever you went to it took a original Virginia State Capitol you said
[01:43:15] it just hotel the hotel had a night club in the middle of it was weird it was very loud I'm like it's popping on the Tuesday night so then Wednesday morning for a M they woke you up they drove
[01:43:27] you to the government building in the back of building you did your you did your brother Laza make sure you weren't drinking night before which seems irrelevant it's from going to see
[01:43:37] in the big detraining that night if you're drunk at 5 a.m but whatever um either you did your analysis somewhere in that time by 7 a.m. through your analysis so then you get on the plane
[01:43:54] you get to San Antonio if you're Air Force you go to different places if you're Marines Army maybe what of case would be but you get the Latin Air Force space units San Antonio airport
[01:44:05] the hatching lined up in the install sitting on a floor in San Antonio you got to you get to your dorm and they have your bags and they do to put them down pick them up pick them up pick them up
[01:44:17] I don't want to hear any sounds when you put your bags on the ground I'm like how am I going to do this is a buckle on my bag whatever and you're in there and I was like Wednesday so Wednesday
[01:44:27] through Sunday was considered zero in that time frame there was like your go because your blood test you get some shots things like that and age because you use your forms and if you did a
[01:44:39] blood test for like sickle cell and they said hey you know you can stay in for a can leave I remember in my zero week we would have as guys basically training back there was only six weeks
[01:44:55] so guys who were going to do six we could train in six weeks started but we're gonna be going Sunday so we would be babysitting the guy who went in for zero week so if you're on
[01:45:05] your six week of training you would be the babysitters for the guys we just got there for zero week I remember talking to a guy he was like they told me I was sickle cell I'm going
[01:45:17] I'm just my mama I'm like you've only been here it was like so you got that Wednesday it might have been Saturday I thought you just got here like trust me like I'm about to leave
[01:45:33] I believe in Monday morning. It's it's way easier to think it is these last 48 hours it's nothing I'm literally whispered into him in the bed like next time at the
[01:45:43] pit on my dog it's not that bad just ride it out he was like nah mom I'm leaving him done call my mom in the morning I'm leaving him home. I'm like I'm going to talk to that man
[01:45:56] you be out you be out you be out don't spit out you be out and he was ready to go so I'm like all right I give all of this me so I could about the experience that I have
[01:46:05] over these six weeks he will lead you to leave. I think guys are getting to that point where it's like you get told it's great your recruiter tells you's great your family who here is it's oh
[01:46:16] Mike you want to dare force girl yeah I don't know how's a great job you know you cousin did this you cousin did that he met to harm me he met the Marines but a lot airman said it was
[01:46:26] to gun at air force and they'll tell you all these green stories about going to air force and that you get there you're like I don't want to be here I want to leave and you're allowed that because you're young and you're gonna make that decision
[01:46:40] and I think life is God gonna transfer portal or like I want to go to Ohio State it seems like a lot of fun when I watch it on TV it seems like so much fun when they brought me
[01:46:51] to the game and gave me a little badge and I got to walk onto the field and brought the stripper to me they brought the board games into monopoly in the PS5's and other things
[01:47:07] forms of entertainment through whatever dorm room or tell it apart from your sand it but when it comes out to us they listen after you get a more information you think you know what
[01:47:19] I probably shouldn't have done this but if you're like I know some guys that joined the Marines like man I was held a joint air force and my his cool stuff my dad was an army
[01:47:27] the reason I joined the air force because my dad was an army because I've come say so what the air force guy about going to the Y but that's okay we'd be in a tent yellow being a hotel
[01:47:37] late I'm like one air for I'm not going to build your anyway I'm gonna bed and not a cot okay he signed me up yeah and he's like hey I got a rental van we got here walking I was like
[01:47:49] so we your job to sign up for yeah if all your army cats out there I still ended up with planner fashion either anyway I was in the tent on my first deployment with 11 dudes
[01:48:04] to work field shot you know saying I was copy it my tent I killed the mouse oh you were you were in like the the seven I turned to no we'd be okay okay I was in the 12th of the 10 check it out
[01:48:18] another another military tangent we'll get back on track for promise but this is part of it so I was in Germany so we flew we got the message on a Monday but I got the work hey pack up you can be
[01:48:32] leaving on Thursday like you'll do it's Monday it's 715 Monday morning like you're gonna be on a plane like 12 30 Thursday I'm like that doesn't seem realistic like you can I go it like yeah you're going like you're like work I was excited to go so ways they came around
[01:48:50] and said hey you guys leaving on Sunday morning to weigh him so I got my last trip to the club Friday night Saturday I'm chilling didn't have stripes and anything from my uniform anything so
[01:49:02] we get to mobility at like midnight Friday night Saturday morning our plane was even at 2 again I knew guys that came straight from the club literally out of the club chilling drinking
[01:49:16] hanging out party and straight to the jet we got on the DC 10 we flew from Germany to Cyprus Cyprus to Audi B got the ID they later bags out we got the 13 man tents some people came from another
[01:49:34] basin North Galonisine more Johnson they flew on a military plane yeah they flew in a military plane to an ace guy they stopped in Spain the thing that happens with military aircraft is that
[01:49:52] you're only allowed to leave certain bases if you have x, y, z level of just capable capabilities it's like oh you can't leave unless you get this kind of clearance like you can't fly at night
[01:50:06] you can't do this whatever I'm not giving away any trees secrets in the crazy thing but in that conversation was like they couldn't leave they couldn't leave Spain after they got there there were some stipulations that what they couldn't leave until like a day and a half later
[01:50:24] I don't know what it was the true equine rest ace maybe true rassie yeah a lot a lot of things like that factor into you taking a military vessel equipment parts you know capability whatever
[01:50:36] case would be so we left Sunday 2 a.m. I get there 9 10 11 o'clock in the morning they didn't get there to the following night and everybody was talking to like oh yeah
[01:50:50] we were in Spain for like two days it was great unlike it has built up in station in Germany for two years and if you had a guy here on time you'd be in a tent with 12 roommates but yet you had
[01:51:02] a tent with 71 roommates so hope you have fun in Spain for the two days but they're going to spend the next six months and this Barney tent was 71 people you know it's like they didn't
[01:51:16] had a rude to come turn a lights off I was like what do you like yeah we can't throw a light on like you just in the tent all the long the lights on and like yeah you should have got
[01:51:28] your two days earlier because we was in their children so yeah that's not baby ad bond you have on the get see I want to have on the got but I said we just I was already in Europe
[01:51:38] well as the actually had it better they were the ones that always broke somewhere you know but but yeah like so but when I look at dealing with a riot you know I'm looking at it like
[01:51:50] you didn't even like you didn't even go to campus yet though like you don't even like if you want to do something if you went and you were like hey this ain't for me or I don't feel the same way
[01:51:59] I feel different whatever but it's like you didn't even try you would just like yo not going you know whatever the case may be but I was more so also thinking about Kyle McCord you know from
[01:52:12] the standpoint because he's the other side of this where he went to Ohio State Play starting quarterback played all season was a freshman but people are mad that he wasn't CJ Straud or
[01:52:27] he wasn't just in fields or Duane Husk is resting piece and all that stuff like that but he's now at Syracuse and I had to think about it when we started the conversation it wasn't in my thought process but as the conversation went on I was like
[01:52:44] hey Ohio State probably told him pack your shit versus him leaving him in like yeah it was more like you know like with Florida State you know like just say the Florida State conversation I'm just saying
[01:52:59] you know we could an orange bowl take Roda Maker who was in line to start the orange bowl decide he was going to go to the transfer portal and a lot of Florida State fans were upset
[01:53:11] how can he do this the week in a bowl game XYZ but when you turn on ESP the first thing you hear Florida State is probably in the lead for Cam Ward and if they don't get Cam Ward the DJ
[01:53:25] we obviously is getting crystal ball to go to Florida State so if I'm taking Roda Maker it's like why am I going to play this bowl game do you a favor and that y'all just going to evict me
[01:53:37] you know or at the very least I got a compete for the job that I thought I had and me it's so it's a lot of crazy transfers uh some of them makes sense of them don't I'm looking
[01:53:52] on knowledge as we were talking I was like asking you some more that are kind of in line with this McCourt because when McCourt I gave you a sample I was talking to one of the one of the
[01:54:06] that he was uh one of my son's former coaches and my son played quarterback for half the season with high school year and one of the things he said was like
[01:54:18] he got his son a throwing coach because he didn't like the guy because like I want to you know try my music the downside of playing quarterback is that even the high school level you only
[01:54:28] play quarterback you know unless you're like truly dynamic if you are the first if you're the backup you're just you're just waiting so you don't do any hitting drills you got a lot of back you know get to be running back like I said unless you're truly dynamic
[01:54:47] well for the most what he was like is like it's almost a fun pain for a coach from my son to be a better throer did I need to be assured that he's going to start quarterback
[01:54:59] right well if I'm a quarterback and I get the college and all I can do is wait behind the other guy that's starting and you're going to bring in another guy that could potentially start
[01:55:10] ahead of me because how good would it look how would it look for McCourt if he said in there and right all of the guy that we said was supposed to go to Georgia flips and comes out of high
[01:55:22] state five star recruit he flips he's coming to a high state you're not a five stars not flipping to your school so this guy who couldn't beat Michigan gets to start again
[01:55:36] hell we talk about Ryan Day not being able to be the coach next year from the team I think he's lost what three maybe four games or last few years yeah I think his record is something like
[01:55:46] 56 and seven so it was like you're looking at how lucky might not be able to coach next year so if you're a real high so to Michigan if I'm the player I'm like you they're about to get
[01:55:58] rid of the coach he has listened seven losses what he gonna do to me when they get this guy is a five star so they leave but the narrative that they pump out on on podcasts like hours
[01:56:10] which are more local and we're going to get more nasty syndicated this year that's the plan but you have nasty syndicated podcast or saying stuff like oh this is an NIL deal no doubt about it
[01:56:21] it's like you can't look at it that way because if you look at it through that lens of the glass of the guy didn't give you and then when you come back and get the facts it's like yeah real
[01:56:33] listen let's go if I'm sitting here you're gonna bring us three guys can pee for my one job all I can do it's not like a moward receiver who can put on 15 pounds of place safety lie back or put
[01:56:49] on 30 pounds if I can't have played tight in or defense event I got five six options or shift and keep my sane feet and like well I'll be one of the four running bags
[01:57:02] but if I'm a quarterback and you bring us three guys directly to be either beat not all three guys the guy you picked out that you gave the most money to a scholarship maybe
[01:57:12] NIL deal because most NIL deals on company school it's scholarship money comes from a school the NIL deal comes from you know if family need many Sanders James you know you got
[01:57:27] Libby done she's up there she's in the top three of your earnest first NIL most these guys are just they're probably getting some deals they're probably getting some money in the conversation
[01:57:37] I think we said company in the morning is that about uh three hundred eight thousand I think it was yeah so these guys there is I'm pretty sure there's a legal conversation about money but it's that life chaining change in money
[01:57:56] it's 19 year old life changing money like a someone I got 12 thousand bonus 12 thousand bonus 20 year of course it was six when I had my initial conversation it went from six to seven
[01:58:10] and when I got the meps because we were in the lead before May 31st of that year it went to 12 in my mind 18 that was life change in money so I can get a conversation with a guy
[01:58:21] 18 19 years old 20 years old and NIL deals I'm going to give you three hundred four and a thousand I don't think that's the motivation because I don't think every kid moving is getting that deal
[01:58:33] a lot of these just a matter of I can't go play like you got Marvin Jones, Ed Rischer from Georgia going to Florida State he knows those guys that were at Florida State did play this year so
[01:58:48] he knows the spot open form you got Millie Murphy going from Texas to Duke he no Riley landed transferred out and he comes in let me look at his measurable that believes like six five
[01:59:02] this was I'm trying to get his number to buy six five suit 30 something like that rocket arm he's like I know I'm a viable candidate Millie Knowsson, transferring out of USC he's like
[01:59:14] it's not working out for me I think guys have making decisions based off of the fact that some of them are probably making prematurely some have less information than these some guys are going
[01:59:25] off of some home sickness some guys might be going off of the money but I don't think it's whole istically an NIL deal these coaches and make it seem like an NIL problem because if you regulate the NIL
[01:59:38] if you regulate the transfer portal it only helps them because they have to do less work if you if the NCAA says you got to do two years minimum if you go to a school and you go
[01:59:52] in as a freshman or a lecturer you do one year at school you transfer out you got to do two years at your next school it makes it easier for every coach the coach says anything
[02:00:09] he just complains in the media what was it all I was getting money and it makes it into the LA do their job for them so I think the problem is and I think NIL and I was guilty of it too
[02:00:23] I think NIL is just the easy buzzword to attach to it you know I think the problem is it's that one of the things that Hollis football had over the NFL and this is regardless of
[02:00:39] if you're a big college football fan like me or you're just a dude that knows what college football is like college had the perception of loyalty you know if you went to Florida State you were there
[02:00:52] to grace the man that's the great great statement for several loyalty yeah you were there to beat Miami if you go to Michigan you're there for the big game into the season everything's given weekend
[02:01:03] punch Ohio State in the mouth you know where's in the NFL we saw somebody like say T.O play for Dallas and then go to Philadelphia the next year you were playing for Washington
[02:01:15] that's been a trade-in for yeah he would have played for Washington they would have traded for him so so now that we have this NIL these coaches are upset because as a coach I came into
[02:01:24] your living room I sat here with your mom and pops and I sold to them why you should entrust me with the next four years of your life now you came here for a year and I got a
[02:01:39] recruit you all over again you don't need so it turned into we saw what the grandma said about doc don't take those grandma talk about shit Kelly yeah yeah but that's what I'm saying so as
[02:01:50] that so as you might not be as good as a recruiter as you think and I think that's the problem Nick Saven hasn't said a single thing about the NIL this after I blame it Jim oh no no no no no
[02:02:03] he didn't say anything about the NIL he just said tech saying it was buying their players he didn't say hey the NIL is cost in these players he simply said that this guy is taking players from me
[02:02:19] because you guys booster wise you're not giving me enough money that's not the same thing whereas what should boy name up and pit what's his name oh not do they are not dozy he keeps talking
[02:02:32] about how other schools are taking his players versus going to his boosters and saying listen man y'all need to set up some fun raisers and you know what the guy can you pick it damn arena
[02:02:48] you needed qualities guys and say hey man Tony Dorsey that because like I say Larry Seas Gerald Nick Seas never said he I think Nick Seas has been the probably what's about the real revisit the John Connor James Carter James Carter James Carter
[02:03:10] so so that's a difference it's not a matter of the NIL is negatively impacting these coaches it's the fact that you don't know how to make a pop right like if you like we use military
[02:03:26] time again when I was in Germany being young and black but you had down low you were gonna track the tension out of the getting more detail than that but that was the case right your young
[02:03:37] in black in Germany you're gonna track the tension right I was an avionic guy I was a young black avionic guy in tech school in blackland same thing what I got to Korea you had the work
[02:03:50] at a little more you had the work at it this thing about because the numbers were in your favorite so what you gotta do you do give me mad that you're not getting the attention or you can learn
[02:04:01] from people who work in the attention you're doing it like and build on your skills these coaches are building on their skills because they've probably been in the game if you're a coach and you are in your 55 and you've been coaching then in the
[02:04:21] SELA since your 35 so you've been coaching since it's like early 2000s you've had a stranglehold on how kids can move between basketball football mainly basketball football you got a stranglehold on that that process and then 18 19 20 years into your process they just said nope
[02:04:45] these guys now have more leverage than you've ever expected than they have well where I was going with that was just from the standpoint of seeing me as if we have free agency you know
[02:04:59] from because like you were there for four years you were there for three years and then you left for the draft or whatever you did but now you can literally sign up for the school
[02:05:09] and leave before you know the season even starts so what's the difference that's different yeah I'm talking about year to year you know you were the starting quarterback at this school
[02:05:28] this top tier school and the coach has to sit back down and act like is they want all over again in your living room you don't even like you know or you're just going to take your ball
[02:05:40] like like Travis E.T.N. his little brother you know looking right now you know went for Florida to Georgia you don't need like where they do that that's not a college football thing
[02:05:53] when you're back then they didn't want me now I'm behind they all going me yeah yeah you don't say so so that's why I call you think okay since they're gonna team the LSU because
[02:06:04] he was loyal to Cincinnati and then loyal to Notre Dame and I'm loyal because if Jim Harbuff flies down to Georgia and takes an interview with Arthur Blank and the Arthur Blank is a Blank check
[02:06:19] and gets rid of Arthur Smith Brian Kelly will fly up to Ann Arbor to take that job so I think he's just a sheer number of it the number of players moving that is not resonating
[02:06:32] be I think the numbers look crazy when you saw like the conversation the portal was okay something like 1100 people. Lay Kiffin says something I've ever ever that at least said it said
[02:06:45] the date and Joel clats said this and I'm paraphrasing I don't want to get it I don't want to get it wrong but I want to get him credit for the the structures that I did on presented he was like
[02:06:56] there's no reason to have a gap from the last college football regular season game to now to start the playoff he's like we should go from last regular season game and start our
[02:07:09] bowl season. Calls full up playoff you know game or whatever the case may be and it's like the national championship should be on January 1st the national championship is over we've planned our
[02:07:25] champion we've all lived all for the hype that came from the October and November in the football we crowned our champion January 1st January 2nd the portal opens and now you have
[02:07:41] your calendar right so now the portal the portal's open from January 2nd till February 28th that I'm like he I don't know if you said that but I'm just like uses it. Well I think right now it's open until January 15th
[02:07:58] and the thing that is is to be able to be eligible for spring football you have to be enrolled at your new school by a certain date or change the date until change the date until who's after
[02:08:12] do that like you come to football. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you're not going to have to do the first thing you said the university has not changed there's some
[02:08:19] messers just for football no 90s it's a messers yes they will they change their GPS for football players it was just an obstacle and it couldn't read alphabet and they were playing you're not going to
[02:08:28] read the whole school year just to let some football players in why not you take classes you take an assessment online and now you get your follow right online with the second semester
[02:08:39] classes start February 1st but then you're ineligible for that right out there you don't have to be you're on a football team you're I mean yeah I mean you can change your route because we got to be honest
[02:08:51] no one cares if you can read if you can tackle if you read the these papers first let's keep it let's keep it a beam it was due on North Carolina's football team all take it African-American
[02:09:03] studies classes that didn't exist it was teachers assistants teach this guys how to read the alphabet we did this top front and like when you were there for athletics I'm not saying you can't be an
[02:09:15] athlete and intelligent but they will make a concession for you if you're an athlete you can't read but you can run a 4-2 so we just stop stop put the facade let's stop it you don't give a shit
[02:09:31] if they do's are in class of that that 18 20 22 million dollars you get from the bowl games there's not go to new books because the people at the school people are all books added to pocket anyway
[02:09:41] I think they were saying like John Wall like after the winter semester like they never saw that man on campus again most of these things they go thinking it is pntv shows hey rookie that's
[02:09:53] those who January they all go to San Diego every single process may go to San Diego and they got their requests and problems little brother Jordan don't want routes you know like it's
[02:10:05] cuts a cat like no one cares like the one cares about the academics for those 12 to 18 kids football team for the most part the hundreds of football players are your team and the practice
[02:10:16] well guys they walk on to the swimmers and the basketball players and all the guys in our goal and pro all those guys are going to pay $40,000 a year to get to the school what are the
[02:10:26] case may be due loans or grants or whatever they're going to do the exceptional six to eight guys that you have that potentially need professionals they are not going to care nor do you care
[02:10:38] so don't get on TV act like you do care just cut it out so you alter it to where you have guys actually been preparing for a bowl game on December 18 and my starting quarterback walks in
[02:10:54] this is hey coach I'm a coach from the Florida I'm like I got four new plays for you to run right now they're on my drive race board they're like my coach or you could be like make your call me and told
[02:11:09] me that I'm a start next year their four star got it they had decommitted and now he's going to Colorado so they have me like what do you could be like take Roda maker in leave three days before the
[02:11:21] damn orange ball maybe they any day you leave before playing the game like out it can be in the parking lot the fact that you are able to do that there's nothing in places as you can't do that
[02:11:35] because like right now double cook we talked about early double cook that cut and signed with the Ravens but the Ravens you know the jets couldn't trade him tomorrow or yesterday for assets
[02:11:51] for the future draft the only thing is it was cut him right now he just said oh a able body man in America who could play football yeah and that's different so I think late kiffin like
[02:12:04] the at least give it to where the whole season's over you can out that's fine if you don't want to play but it's like you're opting out because you're transferring but how many players would play
[02:12:17] though because it goes back to just they probably took out that they probably took it because I mean we talked about the players that don't play because but I've read it out because you have something
[02:12:29] potentially pending that starts and that conversation legally is a lot of starting January second versus someone recruiting you actively December 1st and they still the same concept though like what if tape Roda maker plays against Georgia and tears his ACL then he doesn't he doesn't
[02:12:50] get the next spot but like if you don't have an operational body I can't have you play I can't have a spot for your my team and it's awful in a get it but in the same sense it has to be some
[02:13:04] protections for the team you let go how like in an NFL right this is like it's just like life who the double work contract we talked about OGN and OB right just got traded to the dicks
[02:13:15] right if the lakers could offer him five years a hundred and seventy five million dollars he should be able to take it right now and that play for the next for the rest of the year
[02:13:27] well I think I think it's just like anything in life you know and I guess we'll wrap up on this note you know it's just it's just like you know I always say men treated women like shit
[02:13:39] for centuries upon centuries and there are some of us men out here that are trying to treat women as equals and do the right thing but we've kind of gone too far the other way
[02:13:53] and that's kind of where we are the players were being screwed the players weren't getting paid they weren't making any of the money that school was making from these TV deals so now the pendulum
