Transcript
- 0:01Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome everybody to another episode of the so called
- 0:05Sports Analyst. I am your host, Alfonso Portill. This is episode number
- 0:10five and we have a lot to talk about today, so let's go out
- 0:13and get straight into it. So first we have the Philadelphia Eagles was to
- 0:18San Francisco forty nine ers. The score it was thirty one to seven.
- 0:22It was all Philly the entire time. And even though Rock Purty he did
- 0:27go out in this game, even if he was in this game, the
- 0:33way that the defense was playing and the Philadelphia Eagles were able to run the
- 0:36ball, this is not going to be a close game no matter who was
- 0:40in the game or what quarterback was in this game, because the Eagles they
- 0:43looked like a buzz all the entire time. And Rock Purty, guess he
- 0:48did go out early in the first quarter. Then John Johnson, their backup,
- 0:53he did get a concussion. But I still don't think, like I
- 0:58said, the Niners would have found a way to win, because, like
- 1:03I said, this game was going to be one of the trenches which defense
- 1:07and offensive line went out physical the other line, and obviously that went to
- 1:11Philadelphia right there, and Jalen Hurts. He did not have the best game
- 1:18here. I believe he only had one hundred and twenty one passing yards and
- 1:25he was about fifteen for twenty five. But he made the throws that he
- 1:30needed to make. And the one thing that he did do unlike Geno Smith
- 1:34and Dak Prescott, is he did not turn the ball over. He did
- 1:38just enough to get this offense to move down the field. And even at
- 1:45that, he had a bad game, and it still still scored thirty one
- 1:49points against one of the best rated defenses in San Francisco forty nine ers,
- 1:55which is a very tall task, and they did have one hundred and forty
- 1:59eight rushing yards and they were able to which we've never seen this entire season
- 2:04a team actually bully the Niners. And it's going to be very interesting to
- 2:10see because the way that they played against the San Francisco forty nine ers,
- 2:17I believe if they do play that way against the Chiefs, they could win
- 2:22very easily and handily. I'm not going to give out predictions yet either.
- 2:24I'm gonna say that for next Thursday, because I still gotta break down that
- 2:29game a little bit more. But like I was, saying earlier the San
- 2:36Francisco forty nine ers. Other than that one drive when Christian McCaffrey he did
- 2:40only could to get him a touchdown drive, they did not look good at
- 2:46all. The offensive line was getting dominated defensive line. They're being pushed back
- 2:51about three or four yards, which is unacceptable. But that's what made Fred
- 2:55Warner Drake green Law, that's what made them so much better. Or when
- 3:00you have your defensive line holding the other opposing offensive line, you could have
- 3:06your linebackers run through the A, B or C or D gap and they're
- 3:10able to hit the running back straight in the backfield. Then they're able to
- 3:15roam and then just play the past. But obviously against Philly they could not
- 3:19do that. But we shouldn't have been surprised by this because Philadelphia they have
- 3:24been doing this to every single team every year, other than the Dallas Cowboys,
- 3:31which they had their backup Gardner Minshewing. But that leads me to another
- 3:37point right here. Jana Hurts he's the youngest player to reach the Super Bowl
- 3:43at twenty four years old, which is not being talked about, and it
- 3:47should be talked about because he has played well enough to get a fifty to
- 3:53sixty million dollar contract, and I believe that as of right now, he
- 4:02is playing like a top five quarterback and he has been the second best quarterback
- 4:08in the league this season, which means that the only quarterback he is not
- 4:15playing better than is Mahomes. And we'll be able to see that next Sunday,
- 4:20so we'll really be able to see who has been the best quarterbacks so
- 4:24far. Not even to mention Patrick Mahomes, he wasn't even that healthy,
- 4:29so who knows, Maybe Jalen Hurts who played Patrick Mahomes, and we'll take
- 4:32the best quarterback round this year. But speaking of Patrick Mahomes, let's go
- 4:38out and get into the Cincinnati Vangals and Kansas City Chiefs. The final score
- 4:42was twenty three to twenty. This game played out exactly how I expected it
- 4:46to be. I expected the score to be twenty four twenty Chiefs with the
- 4:50late touchdown drive to Mahomes, but obviously it was a field goal. I'm
- 4:55gonna go out and address it first with the josh Osie late rough in the
- 5:00bath or unnecessary roughness. Yes, that did cost the Cincinnati Bengals them to
- 5:08move up fifteen yards, right there. But I still do believe that Patrick
- 5:12Mahomes. I believe those about nine say has left on the clock. I
- 5:15still believe that he could have led the Chiefs to another eight ten yards and
- 5:19still get them in field goal range and plus all. To mention Joe Burrow,
- 5:25he didn't have a good game. He had two hundred seventy yards to
- 5:30touchdown in two interceptions, and the offensive line they looked terrible. They had
- 5:33five sacks. Joe Burrow he had a fifty point six QBR which measures a
- 5:39quarterbacks way throughout the entire game. He did not look good this entire game,
- 5:43which I am surprised by because usually in these playoff games he usually steps
- 5:48up to the plate. But you have to give credit to Steve Spagnola,
- 5:53he called a perfect game. And Chris Jones. He looked like the best
- 5:57defensive player in the entire league the way he was dominating and even on double
- 6:02teams too, and when they needed it the most late in the game,
- 6:06there was about two minutes and thirty seconds left Chris Jones who got a big
- 6:11sack on third down to end up getting the ball back to Patrick Mahomes.
- 6:15But that's why I think that Joseph Joseph Osai played right there that in determine
- 6:20the outcome of the game, because they had plenty of chances to win.
- 6:25And like I said, two minutes and two minutes and thirty seconds left on
- 6:29the clock, and you're telling me you can't even pick up a first down
- 6:33to possibly just change the field position. That's just unacceptable right there. And
- 6:41I know Kansas City's defense, they have not looked good all year, but
- 6:46they're secondary who was full of rookies. They're finally finally starting to come of
- 6:49age. But which that happens towards later in the season because you have the
- 6:55rookies who they're getting more playing time and then they know how to attack certain
- 7:00leverages. They know what routes that the wider shivers are gonna run there,
- 7:04they know their tendencies. So they are developing very well. And you have
- 7:11to give that credited coaching, which any Reid, Steve Spagnola, they are
- 7:15some of the best coaches in the league, but you expect that from them.
- 7:20And the reason why I say I had to point out this secondary is
- 7:27because for most of for the most part, they locked up T Higgins and
- 7:32Jamar Chase I know t Higgins he did have a touchdown. Jamar Chase,
- 7:36he did have seventy five yards. But other than that, those chunk yardage
- 7:43plays, they weren't effective on the game. Other than the t Higgins touchdowns,
- 7:47there weren't plays where you're like, oh, okay, that's gonna change
- 7:50right there, that's gonna shift the momentum. That never happened in that game.
- 7:55They just let him have short yardage and make and make T Higgins and
- 7:59Jamar Chase have to break three or four tackles in order to just be able
- 8:05to get a first down, which again, the Kansas City Chiefs, they
- 8:11came prepared. And this is gonna leave the Cincinnati Bengals in a tough spot
- 8:16right here, because this is the third year of Joe Burrow. You're gonna
- 8:20go into the fourth year of Joe Burrow on his rookie contract, which means
- 8:24you're gonna have to pay Joe Burrow soon. He is about to be getting
- 8:28paid fifty to sixty million dollars a year, so which rightfully so he does
- 8:33deserve. He has been one of the best quarterbacks this entire season and even
- 8:39throughout these past two years he's played like the second or third best quarterback in
- 8:43the entire league. But with paying Joe Burrow, you still need to pay
- 8:48te Higgins who is a top fifteen receiver. You're gonna need to pay Jesse
- 8:52Bates who is a top five safety, Von Bell who is a serviceable safety.
- 8:56Hayden Hurst, he is a tied end that is solid. Whenever Jamar
- 9:01Chase and t Higgins are being locked up, then you have guys like Jermaine
- 9:07Prap and other guys that step up when they need it. But you're not
- 9:13gonna be able to pay those guys because Joe Burrow, like I said,
- 9:16he does deserve his money, but you're not going to have as much talent
- 9:22on the team as you once did. And this is gonna be scary because
- 9:26Kansas City they were kind of going through a rebuilding phase this year because they
- 9:31trade Awaits Eyrek Hill. They got a bunch of draft picks, they drafted
- 9:35a bunch of young guys and they were developing them. And now they're gonna
- 9:39have some cap space this offseason to even make a move again, which is
- 9:45ridiculous. So you're telling me the Kansas City Chiefs in a somewhat rebuilding reboot
- 9:50year, they're able to make it out of the AFC, which is the
- 9:52toughest conference by far, and they don't even have the best team they possibly
- 10:00can with Patrick Mahomes. It's not gonna look good for everybody else in the
- 10:05AFC because Patrick Mahomes is no doubt, the best quarterback. Andy Reid is
- 10:15in the AFC, the best head coach, Travis Kelsey is the best tight
- 10:20end. So it's gonna be tough for a bunch of teams out here to
- 10:24actually be able to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs. So yeah, and
- 10:31we'll see. I'm just so excited about this Kansas City versus Philadelphia game because
- 10:39it's gonna be very interesting to see who's gonna be able to actually do what
- 10:43in this game. But again, I'll have to figure that out next next
- 10:50Thursday, and I'll tell you my predictions then. But for now, let's
- 10:54go ahead and get into the Dallas Cowboys. So the Dallas Cowboys they mutually
- 11:01part of the ways with Kellen Moore and Kellen Moore he ended up going to
- 11:05the Chargers and ended up becoming the offensive coordinator, and Mike McCarthy he is
- 11:13going to be calling place and everybody. They've been having a bunch of backlash
- 11:18from that, so I've done some research. So Kelly Moore, he ran
- 11:24an offensive scheme that was called the Air Corrio offense. The Air Corrio it
- 11:31was designed by Don Corrio and it was in order to help a team that
- 11:37was inferior then a team that had more talent and be able to spread the
- 11:41ball across the field. So that's what the air Corrio system is, and
- 11:48that is based off of timing routes, option routes, and the quarterback throwing
- 11:52the ball before the wide receiver gets there. And when it does work,
- 11:58you're able to get a lot of points. But when it does not work,
- 12:01it could cause inconsistency in the offense and a bunch of turnovers. And
- 12:05we did see that because with Dak Prescott underneath this offense, he did have
- 12:11forty interceptions in four years, and one of those years he was injured,
- 12:16so he only played five games in the season, and the first three years
- 12:20of Dak Prescott's career when he was under Scot Lenahan, he only had twenty
- 12:24five interceptions. So you could see the big difference from Dak Prescott under Scott
- 12:30Lenahan, who is a safe, conservative offensive coordinator compared to Kellen Moore,
- 12:35who was this young, innovative offensive coordinator who liked to throw the ball stretch
- 12:39of field, get as many points as you can. And that's why Dak
- 12:43he has been putting up these numbers, but it hasn't been translated into wins.
- 12:48So I understand why Mike McCarthy let go of Kellen Moore and he's going
- 12:52to be calling place and Mike McCarthy his offensive scheme is the West Coast system.
- 13:01So what the West Coast system is, It's a bunch of short routes,
- 13:05letting your skill position players make the big play that's needed, run after
- 13:09catch, and they need to be able to catch the ball on heavy traffic.
- 13:13Because all you're gonna ask for your quarterback to do is look at the
- 13:18two options they have in whatever play they call, and if option one isn't
- 13:24open, go to option two. If option two isn't open, you could
- 13:28either scramble out and run or you throw the ball away. So basically,
- 13:33this offense is basically a robotic offense for the quarterback in order for him just
- 13:39say one two not there, go or if not throw the ball away,
- 13:43which I believe is smart in order to fix Dak Prescott's interception problem. But
- 13:50will it translate to wins? That's the biggest concern right there. And Mike
- 13:54McCarthy from two thousand and two thousand and four, he was with the Saints
- 14:01as an offensive coordinator there for five years and they finished scoring in the NFC
- 14:07in two thousand and two, but all five years he did call plays.
- 14:13There were top ten offenses, and they did not have the most talent on
- 14:20that team, but they were able to score a bunch of points and not
- 14:24all of it translated to wins. But again, you can have the right
- 14:30scheme, but you do need the personnel in order to win you those games.
- 14:35And with the Packers, so Mike McCarthy got hired as a head coach
- 14:39for the Green Bay Packers in two thousand and six and he was calling plays
- 14:43till twenty fifteen, so he called plays for nine years and averaging out those
- 14:50nine years, he was ranked the eighth best offense throughout the entire span of
- 14:58those nine years and had an average undred point differential, which that includes offense
- 15:03how many points they score and defense how many points they allow. I included
- 15:09that staff because he is a head coach for the Cowboys, so he is
- 15:11controlling both sides systematically, and say that's what he did for the Packers.
- 15:18And with Aaron Rodgers his Pro Football Focus grade. With Mike McCarthy as a
- 15:22head coach, his average was seventy seven, a seventy seven Pro Football Focus
- 15:28grade, which is not a grade average, but it's a good average for
- 15:33a good quarterback. And without Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers Pro Football Focus grade
- 15:43is a seventy six. Since he's been with Mount mcfloor, so there's been
- 15:48just a slight difference, there's not that much of a difference. So Aaron
- 15:52Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers. So that means that Dak Prescott, he still
- 15:58is going to be somewhat of the same quarterback he once was, but it's
- 16:03just not going to be as turnover prone as he once did, which did
- 16:07end up costing this team in the playoffs and possibly a chance of the NFC
- 16:11Championship Game or maybe Super Bowl. So even with I'm going back to the
- 16:19air cordial offense. It was mainly based off of one running back, three
- 16:23wide receivers, and having a tight end out and a bunch of motion which
- 16:29was very pass heavy in which that's why you did see Kevin Moore sometimes not
- 16:34running the ball. But that's why Mike McCarthy he is going to be taking
- 16:40over place in the West Coast offense. It is a robotic system, but
- 16:45they do focus on running the ball first and relying on that play action or
- 16:51sometimes even bootleg. So I do believe there's going to be changes made to
- 16:56this team right here and possibly who they do go out after, because changing
- 17:03to a whole different scheme requires a lot of different players. Obviously, unlike
- 17:08your superstar players, you're still gonna have a Ceedee Lamb. They might bring
- 17:14back Tony Pollard, Michael Gallup, he's gonna be back because he's underneath that
- 17:18contract. But they're gonna have to look for new players in the draft.
- 17:23The first one that has been mentioned a lot is like I said earlier,
- 17:29you need a player that could catch the ball from any position and run after
- 17:33catch. And the main main skill position player that has been brought up for
- 17:37the Dallas Cowboys to draft is Bijean Robinson, who he is a running back
- 17:44from Texas. He does have nice film on him and he has looked like
- 17:49the best running back prospect since say Quon Barkley as far as hype and potential
- 17:56and what he can be, and I do understand and as far as some
- 18:02people wanting Bijean Robinson over a cornerback or a wide receiver, but that isn't
- 18:10the most essential need to this team. I believe that with the West Coast
- 18:15offense, you do have a running back already in Tony Pollard. I believe
- 18:18that Tony Pollard he will be coming back, be getting franchise tagged. As
- 18:22far as with Ezekiel Elliott, I'm not sure about that. They have been
- 18:26talking about restructuring his contract and him not wanting to restructure, so we'll see
- 18:33about that. But the main running back that will be used in this West
- 18:37Coast offense will be Tony Pollard because he fits it perfectly. And that's why
- 18:42I don't see Bijean Robinson being drafted with your first pick and you having Tony
- 18:49Pollard there, who is more than enough to be able to handle the workload,
- 18:56because we saw him do that this year and make it to the Pro
- 18:59Bowl. Who I think they should go after is some of the wide receivers.
- 19:04Jackson Smith and Jebbo from Ohio State, Quinnin Johnson from TCU, or
- 19:11you could go get a Jail and Hyatt from Tennessee. Those are all receivers
- 19:15that can't catch the ball. Jackson, Smith and Jebbo can catch the ball
- 19:18the best, but they can all run after catch, and they're also deep
- 19:23threats too. Or you could use hypothetically speaking, you could use that first
- 19:30pick on a cornerback, on a defensive linement, a linebacker is safety,
- 19:37or maybe Bijean Robinson, and then you go trade a second round pick for
- 19:41a guy like DeAndre Hopkins, who is more than capable enough to catch the
- 19:48ball in traffic and run after catch, but he is older and does have
- 19:55a more expensive contract. And we do see with the Dallas Cowboys there's a
- 19:59path durn as far as with a wide receiver that makes a big contract and
- 20:06it is not originally from the Dallas Cowboys. They're quick to cut bay with
- 20:10them. You've seen this with Tarall Lowens back in twenty ten, and we
- 20:15saw this just last year with the Mark Cooper and a Mark Cooper he's only
- 20:18twenty seven years old, so they may be real hesitant to trade for DeAndre
- 20:26Hopkins, but he would fit this system perfectly. So it's gonna be tough
- 20:33to see who the Cowboys they do really draft in this because, like I
- 20:41said, the West Coast offense, it is a run after catch based offense
- 20:45and making your skill position players win you these games, and the quarterback just
- 20:52has to be the robot order. Take for perfect example, the San Francisco
- 20:56forty nine ers brought Purdy. Yeah, I know, you have to be
- 21:02more than capable enough quarterback, possibly good quarterback to win eight games in a
- 21:07row and win two playoff games. But look at the skill position players they
- 21:11have, and they do run a West Coast offeign offense. They do have
- 21:15Deebo Samuel who's one of the best wide receivers, Brendon and I who was
- 21:19one of the best young wide receivers, George Kittle, a top three tied
- 21:22end, Christian McCaffrey, the best running back in the NFL, Kyle Uschek,
- 21:29Elijah Mitchell. So you do have the players for this quarterback, and
- 21:33you could see throughout these games that all he was just needed to do was
- 21:38throw it to the skill position player or hand it off and let those guys
- 21:44make a play and look how far it's gotten them over the past. I
- 21:49believe Kyle Shanahan's been there six seven years. They've been to the NFC Championship
- 21:55Game four or five times, I believe. So this is it does work,
- 22:00and it did even get them to a Super Bowl. And Dak Prescott
- 22:04he is better than Brock Purty. So I can't see this offense working for
- 22:11the Dallas Cowboys and possibly even going further. And I especially like it because
- 22:18Mike McCarthy his job is on the line this season and he is going to
- 22:22have to prove to the front office that he can lead this team to a
- 22:29Super Bowl or to an NFC Championship Game. But like I said, I
- 22:37like this because not only is he betting on these skill the skill position players
- 22:44and taking it out of Dak Prescott's hands, which at sometimes he could be
- 22:48a liability, but he's also putting it into his hands as far as if
- 22:52he does get fired, it will be his fault because when Kellamorne was there,
- 22:59he didn't have full control of the offense. He only had to say
- 23:03so as far as we're going forward on fourth down, So you could be
- 23:07conservative right here, but he didn't get to pick the place. Mike McCarthy.
- 23:11He is going to be able to do that. And he has had
- 23:15of history of having good offenses or even capable of offenses of winning the Super
- 23:22Bowl. We saw that in twenty eleven. He also did have Aaron Rodgers,
- 23:29but Aaron Rodgers in his first few years did not look as good as
- 23:34now we know him to be. As Aaron Rodgers. The first year he
- 23:38did stand out was twenty twenty eleven, and that's the year that they won
- 23:45the Super Bowl. So who knows, maybe Dak Prescott he's able to unlock
- 23:52something that we have not seen as Cowboy fans. But let's go ahead and
- 23:59get into the next TOPI. So Sean Payton has agreed to terms to go
- 24:06to the Denver Broncos for a first round pick and a second round pick for
- 24:11Sean Payton and a third round pick from the New Orleans Saints because Sean Payton
- 24:15he was still under contract with the Saints, so he had to be traded
- 24:19to the Denver Broncos. And then you have Damaic o' ryan's who was a
- 24:25defensive coordinator for the San Francisco forty nine ers. He agreed to turns on
- 24:30a six year deal to the Houston Texas. So the Denver Broncos, I
- 24:37really like this move right here. This just shows that the Denver Broncos,
- 24:41they are going all in with Russell Wilson and this team. They do believe
- 24:48that Sean Payton can get him over the top. And I believe he's more
- 24:53than capable enough to do that because the worst head coaching seasons Sean Payton has
- 24:59ever had was seven and nine, but even that they started four and two
- 25:06in the season and the starting quarterback got hurt that season. Deals with Jameis
- 25:11Winston not even the most not even a top ten quarterback in the league.
- 25:18And throughout the whole time Sean Payton he has been a head coach, He's
- 25:22called the plays majority of the time, and they've had top ten offenses.
- 25:26And he knows how to fix quarterbacks. Even when Drew Brees. Drew Brees
- 25:32and Russell Wilson, they're similar in a way. They are both shorter quarterbacks.
- 25:37Obviously, Russell Wilson he is more mobile, not as mobile as he
- 25:41used to be, but he knows what to do with these smaller quarterbacks in
- 25:45order to have them in the right plays, right position to make the right
- 25:49thrown and the Denver Broncos all they needed last year was to not score under
- 25:56seventeen points and they'd win. And I believe this that they'd be fifteen and
- 26:03two if they scored over seventeen points in every game. And in the NFL,
- 26:07especially nowadays, how the offenses are, seventeen points is not much.
- 26:12You could get twenty four points in a first half. So I'm not saying
- 26:18that Sean Payne he's gonna turn this team into the twenty fourteen Broncos where they
- 26:23were the highest scoring offense in the league. Russell Wilson he's gonna throw fifty
- 26:27six fifty seven touchdowns. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying with a
- 26:33defense that we did see last year, I don't think they're gonna stay at
- 26:37that same level because that was a really great defense. They may take a
- 26:41step back, but I do believe that Sean Payne can get Russell Wilson to
- 26:48become a top twelve fifteen quarterback, not even a top five quarterback with the
- 26:52strong defense that they have, and they can get into the playoffs. I
- 26:57don't think a contender because you still have Kansas City there, you still have
- 27:02the Bengals there, Buffalo, Jacksonville, They're going to get better. Who
- 27:07knows what happens with Lamar Jackson or any other move that does happen in the
- 27:10offseason, possibly Aaron Rodgers going to Tennessee. But it will turn the Denver
- 27:15Broncos into a team that could possibly make a Super Bowl run. Say if
- 27:22somebody gets hurt or somebody gets traded in the middle of the season offseason,
- 27:29they can make a run. So I really do like this move, and
- 27:34I'm excited to see what Sean Payton can do to fix a quarterback like Russell
- 27:40Wilson who did have one of the worst seasons in his career, and with
- 27:45Damiko Ryan's he went to the Texans. He was a former Houston Texans player.
- 27:51He is thirty eight years old, so he is a young coach and
- 27:55that's what we are seeing nowadays. Other than that Sean Payton higher, we
- 27:59are seeing these younger coaches come in because they are the same age as a
- 28:04locker room, so they're able to embrace everything new about football, the schematics,
- 28:14and I believe that he can turn this team around and the Houston Texans
- 28:18organization. They do have faith in Damiko Ryan's because the past two years they
- 28:26did have two separate coaches and David Culley and Lovey Smith, and they did
- 28:32fire him after the year. They did. They did coach for that season.
- 28:37But I believe if they did not believe in Damiko Ryan's they would not
- 28:42have gave him a six year deal. So they're giving him time in order
- 28:48to flip this team. And this team it's a young team. They don't
- 28:52have talent on this team. They don't have nobody where you could be like,
- 28:55oh, okay, that's one player that is going to be playing rate
- 29:00every single game. They don't have that player yet. But they do have
- 29:03a ton of cap space now, the third most cap space in the National
- 29:07Football League, and they do have the second overall pick. Maybe they do
- 29:11go for a Bryce Young will Levis, they go for somebody like that,
- 29:17or they could stock up this year, revamped the offense and defensive lines,
- 29:22and then possibly go get Caleb Williams next year. Then you'll really have a
- 29:26team right there. And Damiko Ryans throughout the three years he was a defensive
- 29:33coordinators. Two years ago, he had his team allowed seventeen point four points.
- 29:41So that's in twenty nineteen right there. In twenty twenty, the team
- 29:47allowed or the defense allowed sixteen point nine points per game, and this year
- 29:56they allowed sixteen point three points per game. And on I know there was
- 30:00plenty of talent on the team. You did have Nick Bosa, Fred Warner,
- 30:03how Funga, Jadevius Award, you did have those players. But before
- 30:08this season, you didn't know who Jadevious Award was, and he turned him
- 30:12into a top ten quarterback. You didn't know who how Fungo was, who
- 30:18is now one of the best safeties in the league. So he has turned
- 30:22multiple players into guys that are more than capable enough to be great players and
- 30:29great role players on the defense. So I have all the faith in the
- 30:33world that Damiko Ryan's he can turn this defense into maybe not the first year,
- 30:41but maybe in two two and a half years, turned this defense into
- 30:45a top ten defense. And if you just have a capable quarterback, not
- 30:49even a great quarterback, you have maybe a top fifteen quarterback, you can
- 30:55win games in this league and you could possibly make the playoffs because other than
- 31:00Jacksonville, the other teams in their division we don't know where they're going to
- 31:06be at because Tennessee they have Ryan Tannehill, but they have a limited sailing.
- 31:11Derrick Henry is only getting older, the defense is only getting older.
- 31:15Then you have the Indianapolis Colts, who we don't know who the quarterback is
- 31:19going to be. We don't even know who their head coach is going to
- 31:23be. Maybe it's gonna be Jeff Saturday again, but we saw how that
- 31:27happened. So other than the Jacksonville Jaguars, they have no threat in that
- 31:36division. And this may sound crazy as of right now, but I can
- 31:41see Damiko Ryan's turning this team into possibly will to be seven and ten,
- 31:48eight and nine win team because he does bring that intensity, excitement, and
- 31:55passion to his defense and that can translate to a team. The perfect example
- 32:01is Robert Sala. This is Robert sala second year of coaching and with the
- 32:07bad quarterback in Zach Wilson, he almost got that team to the playoffs.
- 32:13And they're almost identical as far as their coaching styles, bringing passion and energy.
- 32:22So I'm gonna be excited to see that. I don't think that they
- 32:28will get a quarterback this year or maybe they do trade for a quarterback in
- 32:31the off season, but we will see. And I'm just excited for these
- 32:36two of coaches and Sean Payton and Damiko Ryan's and what they are going to
- 32:40do for their team. And all right, the last topic right here.
- 32:46It was breaking news earlier on this morning. Tom Brady, the greatest player
- 32:52of all time and in football history, has retired. And he finished with
- 33:02two hundred and fifty one wins in the regular season, eighty two losses,
- 33:07sixty four point three completion percentage, eighty nine thousand, two hundred fourteen passing
- 33:15yards. That's more than nine thousand away from anybody else. So that's about
- 33:20two seasons worth for any quarterback, six hundred and forty nine touchdowns and at
- 33:25ninety seven point two QB rating just in the regular season and the postseason.
- 33:32Had thirteen thirteen thousand, four hundred yards, eighty eight touchdowns, sixty three
- 33:38percent completion percentage at ninety QBR and obviously ten Super Bowl appearances and he's won
- 33:45seven of those. And with Tom Brady, one thing that is so great
- 33:54about him is that he is good at everything. Because he was not the
- 34:02best regular season quarterback in NFL history that belongs to Peyton Manning. He was
- 34:09not the best postseason quarterback. That belongs to Joe Montana. But he was
- 34:15so good at every single thing you needed from a quarterback that makes him great.
- 34:22He had no weaknesses in his game as a quarterback. Maybe you can
- 34:28say mobility was a weakness, but he did have pocket presents and you know,
- 34:34and he knew just in time went to escape, when to throw the
- 34:37ball. He was a three time MVP and he had five Super Bowl MVPs.
- 34:44That's most in NFL history. And all of the Super Bowls that Tom
- 34:51Brady he did lose those three years, he lest he lost in a combined
- 34:58five points per time. So that means when he did lose, it was
- 35:04close, or it was out the buzzer, a last second field goal,
- 35:07or we could even go back to it the helmet catch. Then we have
- 35:13the Mario Manning have catch. Then obviously we have the Philadelphia Eagles who had
- 35:19that strip sack on Tom Brady at the very end. But other than that,
- 35:22in the game against Philadelphia, Tom Brady had over five hundred yards and
- 35:28four touchdowns. So Tom Brady he is the greatest of all time. Not
- 35:36because he's great and one specific thing, but he is good at everything.
- 35:44And that's gonna go ahead and wrap it up. Guys. I do appreciate
- 35:47you guys tuning in for episode number five, and you guys can follow me
