- 1:23So guess what on three one two three? Let's lock in
- 1:53All right folks, let's just get into the meats and
- 2:01Potatoing that is going on the league right now. So before we get into the gut check time
- 2:07We got to talk about a few games that caught my eye. Okay, so let's just dive into everything
- 2:12Okay, so Russell Wilson 15 for 26 158 passing yards to touchdowns
- 2:186.1 yards per attempt in a 57.7 completion percentage
- 2:22Okay, Najee Harris 16 attempts for 53 rushing yards
- 2:263.3 rushing yards per carry and one rush of 10 plus yards or more Pat Fryer move three targets for three receptions
- 2:3248 receiving yards one touchdown and 16 receiving yards per reception James Winston 24 for 41
- 2:39212 passing yards to touchdowns to picks
- 2:435.2 yards per temp in a 58.5 completion percentage Nick Chubb 11 attempts for 48 rushing yards
- 2:494.4 rushing yards per carry and one rush of 10 plus yards or more Jerry Judy six targets for five receptions
- 2:5664 receiving yards one touchdown and 12.8 receiving yards per reception now. This is what I will say about this game
- 3:02This was a highly anticipated game that definitely drew a lot of attention by a lot of people
- 3:10Simply because of how things you know went down with the first matchup between these two teams
- 3:14All right, it started to look a little bit shaky at first because the you know after after the Browns scored their first touchdown
- 3:21They started to build some momentum and they started to drive up the field and then things were starting to get to a point
- 3:27Where they were you know setting themselves up to either score a touchdown or get a field go the Steelers being the Steelers of course
- 3:33We're starting out really slow. We needed somebody to make a play
- 3:36Who was that person that made it play Keanu Ben? Keanu Ben gets a very much needed interception and in doing so
- 3:43Puts you know puts the offense in a great put you know in a great position to score and then the rest is history
- 3:49And you know with us getting Alex Highsmith back that was very much needed because you know
- 3:55He was doing his thing TJ White still has someone of a quiet game
- 3:59He was still doing his thing as well Cam Hayward continues to defy the odds and
- 4:05Continues to silence the naysayers every single season
- 4:09So all in all a really great win and this puts the team in a really good position because as of right now if I'm not mistaken
- 4:18They could clinch their playoff spot on Sunday
- 4:22Now it can be clinched in two ways. It can be clinched with either Miami or
- 4:28Indianapolis, I'm losing or if they win against the Eagles now
- 4:33Do I think they will win against the Eagles? I don't know simply because George Pickens is going to be out and
- 4:39You know the offense was really struggling on Sunday without George Pickens
- 4:44And you see how much of a role Joe George Pickens plays on this offense now granted
- 4:50Yes, we did get Mike Williams and in what not but he can't do what George Pickens can do right and so I just
- 4:58Want to see exactly how things are going to go now. I can be you know a fan and I can say oh, yeah
- 5:03We're gonna be the Eagles. We have not won against the Eagles in a long time
- 5:08So only time will tell I still have my spirits up high get on on Sunday
- 5:14But only time will tell but you know for the Browns
- 5:17This basically just puts the nail in the coffin for your season
- 5:20And I'm not saying this you know to be funny or anything, but I'm saying this because you know the aspirations of possibly making
- 5:27You know somewhat of a play a playoff run or trying against a wild card
- 5:31It's over now on to another game that definitely caught my attention as well
- 5:36And that is the Eagles in the Panthers game now before we get to any of the hot takes and any of the things that you know
- 5:41Have been leaked out within the last few days. Let's just get into the stats first
- 5:45Okay, so Jalen Hertz 14 for 21 108 passing yards to touchdowns 5.1 yards per temp
- 5:52In a 66.7 completion percentage say Kwame Barkley 20 attempts for 124 rushing yards
- 5:586.2 rushing yards per carry and five rushes of 10 plus yards or more AJ Brown for targets for four receptions
- 6:0443 receiving yards 10.8 receiving yards per reception Bryce young
- 6:0919 for 34
- 6:10191 passing yards one touchdown one pick
- 6:145.6 yards per temp in a 55.9 completion percentage Chava Hubbard
- 6:1926 attempts for 92 rushing yards 3.5 rushing yards per carry and one touchdown and one rush of 10 plus yards or more
- 6:26Adam Thielen 11 targets for nine receptions 102 receiving yards
- 6:3111.3 receiving yards per reception now. This is what I will say about this game before this game even happened
- 6:38Most people would have thought okay. This is going to be a complete slaughter
- 6:42This is going to be a game where the Eagles are basically going to run up the numbers
- 6:46But no the Panthers have actually been playing fairly well within the last few weeks of the season
- 6:52And mind you they're doing this without a lot of their star players on both sides of the ball
- 6:57They put up a fight against the Eagles if Xavier Leguette catches that touchdown
- 7:02We are having a whole different conversation about this game
- 7:06but because he did it of course the Eagles won and the rest is history but
- 7:10the bigger conversation that's being talked about now though is
- 7:16The potential friction in the locker room between Jalen Hertz and AJ Brown
- 7:21There was a point in the game where you know, it was another three and now and
- 7:26You know AJ Brown was getting off the field and he threw his helmet on the ground
- 7:31And you can see that he's voicing his frustrations with Devonte Smith and company and you can definitely see that there's
- 7:38Frustrations and whatnot and you know, that's fine, right?
- 7:42But then when you have your teammates like Brandon Graham who go publicly and say oh, yeah
- 7:49There's there. There's there's a little bit of friction between AJ Brown and in Jalen Hertz
- 7:56I don't know about that birdie. You know what? Hold on. Give me three seconds. I'm gonna find this quote
- 8:01Stay tuned and we're back here folks and I found that quote. Okay, so this comes from Brandon Graham
- 8:07Okay, we're gonna talk about this quote as well as the apology that he put out as well
- 8:11So here we go and I quote I don't know the whole story
- 8:14But I know that one is trying the leaven could be better with how he responds to things
- 8:19They was friends before this but things have changed and I understand that because life happens and I quote now
- 8:26This is what I will say Brandon Graham
- 8:28This was probably the wrong time to say something like this because now you have somewhat created this giant media storm
- 8:36within Philly which we all know has been very toxic and
- 8:41For I don't know even how long but they're super toxic when it comes to their sports teams
- 8:46now you have created this storyline that
- 8:49Jalen Hertz and AJ Brown are basically beefing in all those different types of things and then you try to you know
- 8:56Spin things and try to apologize and try to tamp out the fire when it's like bro. You can't do that
- 9:01So this is what he did this is what he says right and I quote first I wanted to start off by apologizing to my guys
- 9:08I made the assumption
- 9:09I didn't know all the details and I still don't and I was just like dang
- 9:13I just really saw everything that you all saw with the video and I was
- 9:17Reacting to that and I should have used a little bit more logic on it as always
- 9:21We got to stand up through the good in the bad right now. I don't think it's that bad
- 9:26I think it's a great thing because chaos definitely creates diamonds pressure makes diamonds
- 9:31I feel like this is about to be something where we're going to bounce back from really good. This is what he's saying
- 9:36That's not what I'm saying. This is the direct quote the direct quote that he's saying. That's not me missing any words or anything
- 9:42I just want to put that out there. We all make mistakes
- 9:44All of us just want to win for the city and we all may made some mistakes in this one
- 9:49I understand that you're trying to apologize and you're trying to you know rewrite your wrongs and everything but
- 9:55What's done is done at this point now
- 9:58Everybody is going to start speculating and going to start using their quote-unquote sources
- 10:03imaginary sources and try to put out leaks and all these different types of things but the fact of the matter is
- 10:10The team is winning we are on the cusp of potentially making it to the Super Bowl once again
- 10:16And the only way that we can do this is if we stay locked in and if you're not locked in guess what's going to happen
- 10:22It's going to create friction from the outside and then what's happening on the outside is going to try to link it to the inside
- 10:29And you don't want that especially at this point of the season
- 10:33Right now the only teams that you really have to worry about in your division is the Lions the Vikings
- 10:42and the Packers
- 10:44That's it. Everybody else it's up in the air and you wouldn't even have to face them because why you're in great
- 10:50You know, you're in a great position playoff wise. So again time to put out, you know quotes and assumptions of this magnitude and great
- 10:59I understand, you know, when you look at the games and you see frustration and whatnot
- 11:04You instantly want to assume things but this was the wrong time to do that
- 11:09This is what I will say though for the Eagles
- 11:12You do have some tough matchups do I have to go up against the Steelers?
- 11:15Despite, you know, you guys have been winning and beating us for the last up team years
- 11:20You still have to go up against us, you know, we're not no slouches
- 11:24So maybe this is the game where they try to you know silence the haters and they see it
- 11:29There's in all those people that are assuming things. Maybe this is the game
- 11:33But I'm telling you if they lose bad against the Steelers this thing is going to blow up even more
- 11:40But I'm not even gonna go there. I'm just gonna leave it where it be. All right now on to another game
- 11:46The Rams against the Bills now. Let's just get into the stats before I say what I need to say. All right
- 11:51So Josh Allen 22 for 37 342 passing yards three touchdowns 9.2 yards per temp in a 59.5 completion percentage
- 12:01Josh Allen, that's crazy, right? He's running back 10 attempts for 82 rushing yards
- 12:068.2 rushing yards per carry three touchdowns and three rushes of 10 plus yards or more
- 12:11This is listen when I was pulling up the stats. I was a little bit skeptical about putting Josh Allen on it twice
- 12:18But I was like, you know what?
- 12:19And we might as well want to do it. All right, Khalil Shakir eight targets for five exceptions
- 12:24106 receiving yards one touchdown and 21.2 receiving yards per exception Matthew Stafford
- 12:3023 for 30 320 passing yards to touchdowns 10.7 yards per temp in a 76.7 completion percentage
- 12:37Kyren Williams 29 attempts for 87 rushing yards three rushing yards per carry two touchdowns and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more
- 12:45Pukka Nakua 14 targets for 12 receptions
- 12:49162 receiving yards one touchdown and 13.5 receiving yards per reception
- 12:54This is what I will say this game definitely could have been winnable for the Bills
- 12:58But because of their own mistakes, they allow the Rams to win
- 13:04There was a stretch where it was a bunch of passion and ferrets holding passion and ferrets passion and ferrets passion and ferrets
- 13:11I'm like, bro. How many times you guys are gonna keep on calling passion and ferrets on this defense?
- 13:16This defense is starting to get a little bit leaky here folks. I'm just saying I'm just saying any time
- 13:22You have a team like the Bills who have a really good defense and they are continuing to repeat the same penalty
- 13:30over and over and over and over again
- 13:34That catches up to you and guess what happened the Rams caught up and they won the game
- 13:39They couldn't stop Puka nor could they stop Cooper Cup?
- 13:42As of right now
- 13:44The Rams are definitely a dark horse within the NFC playoffs
- 13:49Because they are a team believe it or not that could give you know teams a run for their money now granny
- 13:55When you look on paper
- 13:57You're probably thinking well, they don't got this or they don't got that or they don't got that
- 14:01But guess what they play fundamentally sound and they've been doing it for the second half of this season
- 14:08And it's paying off phenomenally and right now
- 14:11They are in the driver's seat where they can determine if they're really going to make a deep playoff run now
- 14:16I'm not saying that they're gonna go to the Super Bowl. I'm not gonna say they're gonna win the Super Bowl
- 14:20But what I will say is this they are a team that you cannot sleep on that offense is running on all cylinders that defense
- 14:27Especially that defensive line Jared verse Brandon Fisk
- 14:31Once again, the Rams are hitting on their draft picks
- 14:34But that's a deeper conversation for another day that we will have this offseason though onto the Cardinals in Seahawks game. All right
- 14:42Geno Smith 24 for 30 233 passing yards one touchdown 7.8 yards per 10 in a 80% completion percentage
- 14:51Wow Zach Charbonade 22 attempts for 134 rushing yards 6.1 rushing yards per carry two touchdowns and four rushes
- 15:00Of 10 plus yards or more Jackson Smith and the jigba five targets for five receptions 82 receiving yards one touchdown
- 15:0616.4 receiving yards per reception
- 15:09Collin Murray 25 for 38
- 15:11259 passing yards two touchdowns two picks 6.8 yards per attempt in a 65.8 completion percentage
- 15:18James Connor 18 attempts for 90 rushing yards five rushing yards per carry and four rushes of 10 plus yards or more
- 15:25Tray McBride 14 targets for seven receptions 70 receiving yards and 10 receiving yards per reception
- 15:32This was a pretty good game
- 15:34But then it started to get out of hand
- 15:36Once the Seahawks really started to impose their will on this Cardinals offense
- 15:41Kyler Murray seemed a little bit startled once things started to not go in his direction
- 15:48And then ultimately, you know, the Seahawks just ran with you know, the momentum that they had and they sealed the win
- 15:56This does affect the the Cardinals because again, this is a
- 16:00divisional game and we have hit that point where
- 16:03If your divisional record is not in a good spot, it's going to affect you when it comes to playoff seeding and whatnot
- 16:09So all in all, you know, this is something that you know
- 16:13The team has to sort of be concerned about with with you know, the next few games, you know coming up
- 16:19You want to try to win as many games as you have a safety net
- 16:23For yourself just in case things go a little bit
- 16:26Right because right now your division is topsy turvy
- 16:30You're competitive with the Rams and the Seahawks
- 16:33And so right now of those three who is one going to win the division and who's going to get you know that that seed
- 16:42from from that division
- 16:45Because right now you can make a strong case that the Rams are just as dangerous as the Cardinals
- 16:50And you can make a case right now that the Seahawks are probably the biggest problem within that division
- 16:56It's a team that is young
- 16:58Hungry and has a head coach who has done phenomenal things with this defense. May I remind you folks?
- 17:05This is the same head coach who was the defense of coordinator for the ram
- 17:09I mean not for the Rams for the Ravens last year with that historic defense
- 17:14I'm telling you
- 17:16The Seahawks team
- 17:18It's gonna this division as a whole outside of the 49ers. They're going to be problems moving forward
- 17:23All three of these teams are young all three of these teams have young coaches
- 17:27All three of these teams are going to be ultra competitive as time progresses, but
- 17:32It's gut check time and you already know what that means. Okay, this one is going to be a little bit different
- 17:39Why?
- 17:40Because this is going to be a gut check for every single team in the division. Okay
- 17:4432 gut checks. Okay
- 17:48So let's begin with the greatest division in football the amc north. Okay, so for the browns finish strong
- 17:55Okay, you have four games left. You need to put out some good tape
- 17:59Especially if you are a player who was supposed to be a free agent after this season
- 18:04This browns team needs to go through somewhat of a makeover, right?
- 18:09The Dishon Watson project has not worked
- 18:12So far you have seen more production with two backup quarterbacks
- 18:16Then you have the quarterback that you traded for and you gave him a fully guaranteed contract
- 18:24I'm not saying that you have to get rid of Dishon Watson
- 18:27But you need to assess the quarterback position as well as other positions on both sides of the ball
- 18:34Because as of right now, there is no reason why this team should have not been, you know fighting
- 18:40You know to get into the wild card because again, james winston despite all of his ups and downs
- 18:46He's had flashes of you know, good james winston and he's had bad james winston
- 18:51But all in all, you know what you're getting with him. You see that he's been more productive than what Dishon Watson has been prior to him getting injured
- 18:59If I am the browns if i'm kevin stafansky, you're gonna have to start james winston next year
- 19:04You're gonna have to wolf. Well, actually, you know what skirt?
- 19:08Let me bring that back. You're gonna have to resign james winston and you're gonna have to make him the starter
- 19:14until
- 19:15Dishon Watson can prove that he is you know, the guy because as of right now as I just said
- 19:23Joe flacco
- 19:25literally carried this team into the playoffs
- 19:27And basically was playing with house money and james winston did it. I'm sorry
- 19:32Decisions have to be made. All right. Now for the bangles
- 19:37I really don't know because they are a team that
- 19:40I really didn't expect for them to get to this point when you look at the stats that joe bro has been putting up
- 19:47You can make a strong case that if they were winning if they had a winning record
- 19:51Most likely he would be competing for MVP
- 19:54But because of their defense is so lackluster and their defense has you know has failed them more than helped them
- 20:01This is the situation that they're in now greening you won against Dallas cool
- 20:04But you have Tennessee Cleveland Denver and then Pittsburgh. You're going to lose at least two of those games
- 20:13Maybe even three if we're being honest here. Do I think they could possibly you know sneak into the playoffs?
- 20:20Maybe but I think that window is so
- 20:24So small. I'm talking about the smallest of the small
- 20:28I'm talking about not even a little bit of air could get through that
- 20:31There's just no point you might also want to try to finish the season strong
- 20:37Assess what you have and what you don't have what you need
- 20:39How are you going to you know get those needs and then just go from there try to retool for next year for the Ravens lock in
- 20:46Okay, you're coming off your buy, you know, you're going up against a team in the Giants who they're not going anywhere
- 20:52And so that should be a game where you can just steamroll them and whatnot
- 20:56But outside of the Giants you have Pittsburgh
- 20:59You have Houston and you have Cleveland
- 21:02You are going to probably need to win out in order for you to possibly try
- 21:08To win the division because even when you look at Pittsburgh's schedule not not trying to you know, put the car before the horse
- 21:15they have
- 21:16Philly Baltimore, Kansas City
- 21:19in Cincinnati, right?
- 21:22even even though they are in a good spot to win the division
- 21:27and although
- 21:28Pittsburgh has a two-game lead over you
- 21:32If they start losing some games
- 21:34It can you know it can it can start to make things a little bit dicey
- 21:38You have to lock in because as of right now
- 21:42You don't want to get to a point where
- 21:44You're gonna you're gonna be going up against one of those hot teams like the Broncos or the Chargers or the builds
- 21:50You don't want that you want to try to go up against a team that you sort of have
- 21:54Somewhat of a balanced type of matchup not something where it's like. Oh, this is gonna be a hard matchup
- 22:01I don't know how we're gonna do this. I don't know how they're gonna get out of this for the Steelers
- 22:05maintain your divisional lead and the reason why I say that is because
- 22:09As I just said, you do have a two-game lead over the Ravens
- 22:14But this is the hardest stretch that you are going to have this entire season that everybody was talking about
- 22:20You have to go up against Philly
- 22:22Baltimore, Kansas City, and then Cincinnati
- 22:26But you have to go begins Philly Baltimore, Kansas City within a matter of a few days not to mention George Pickens is out for this game
- 22:35So
- 22:36I I don't know. I really don't know but I will tell you this my time is going to have that team ready
- 22:43I don't care anyone says
- 22:45Mike Tomlin is going to have this team ready to compete now
- 22:49Now the Steelers are in a situation where they could still win and and still secure their their playoff spot
- 22:58either by winning their game on Sunday or
- 23:01Miami losing or
- 23:03The Colts losing so either way they're going to make into the playoffs, right?
- 23:06It's just a matter of do they want to continue to try to compete for a higher seed?
- 23:11Because if the bills lose against the Lions on Sunday, I think they do have a chance of possibly getting the second seed
- 23:18So hey man a lot is riding on this now for the afc south
- 23:23Fight you got to fight to win the division because as of right now
- 23:27You're coming off your body. Okay, cool. Your first opponent coming off the body is Denver
- 23:33Denver is red hot right now Denver is ready. They are ready to be competitive into the wild card slash playoffs
- 23:41So you're going to have to you know, you're going to have to deal with it
- 23:43And then after that you're going to have to go up go up against Tennessee. I don't expect, you know, Tennessee to really put up a fight
- 23:50I think they're just you know in a position where they're preparing themselves for the draft
- 23:55New York steamroll
- 23:57Jaguars steamroll
- 23:59Well, actually, you know, I take that back. I take the back the divisional. I forgot all about it
- 24:04You still have to worry about the Jaguars despite them not having Trevor Lawrence for for the rest of the season
- 24:09You still have to worry about them because why they are your divisional rivals
- 24:12So you see them twice the season for the Jaguars hit the reset button. Yep. Hit the reset button
- 24:19I said what I said and I'm going to stand on it hit the reset button better yet hit it two three hit it about about three times
- 24:26okay, because uh
- 24:28Yeah, you're not going anywhere
- 24:30There is so much that is going to have to happen on this off season that it's ridiculous
- 24:35Because most likely Doug Peterson is going to get fired
- 24:38You're going to have to clean house with that entire coaching staff
- 24:41You're going to have to bring in a new head coach
- 24:44It also doesn't help that there's not as many offensive coaches available as there is defensive coaches
- 24:49As of right now, the most popular offensive coach will be ben johnson
- 24:53Not to mention all the other head coaches you have bill bellichick who's still in the mix despite all the rumors and speculations that he's going to take the
- 25:00UNC job
- 25:01Mike Vrable brian flores
- 25:04And maybe one or two other people that i'm not thinking of right now
- 25:08So
- 25:09A lot's about to happen not to mention you are going to have to go up against
- 25:14Tennessee
- 25:15New york lost vegas. No, no, no, they are i think they already went up against Tennessee forget about that
- 25:20You're gonna have to go up against new york
- 25:22the raiders
- 25:23Tennessee and then
- 25:25Indy i don't know really what to say about the jaguars, but you know
- 25:31This is this has been horrible for the jaguars if you would have told me
- 25:36That you know that they would be in the in the position that they're in i would have called you a liar
- 25:40They have yet to try to pick themselves up since you know
- 25:44They had that great defense with jaylin ramsey and telvin smith and
- 25:48Miles jack and kaleis camber and company but it's another story for another day now for the titans hit the reset button because why?
- 25:56You have not really done anything
- 26:00You're not supposed to be doing anything because you're still going through a rebuild a hard rebuild if if i may
- 26:05You know if i may add in in that as well, so you know your expectation low now
- 26:10You're going to have to go up against Cincinnati that's going to be someone of a tough matchup
- 26:14Indianapolis division
- 26:16Jacksonville division and then houston division the rest of your opponents are division outside of Cincinnati
- 26:22I don't think you're going to win any of those games, but again divisional games are very close
- 26:28Always have been always will be i've seen crazier things
- 26:32Shoot if you would have told me that the stevens would have lost to the browns in their first matchup
- 26:37I would have called you a liar, but it happened for the Texans maintain divisional control
- 26:42Because as of right now the only team that you really have to worry about within your division is the cults
- 26:48And right now if the cults went out
- 26:52That can put you in a sticky situation
- 26:55but if you win against
- 26:58Miami, Kansas City, Baltimore and Tennessee
- 27:03Hey, you might be able to put yourself in a good spot and on top of that you're coming off a bi-week
- 27:07So you're fresh
- 27:09So you're you know you're you're prepared and and whatnot and on top of that you're in a position where
- 27:15If you beat Miami if you beat the chiefs
- 27:18You can mess things up for them as well
- 27:20Just saying just putting that out there for the a fc east for the jets
- 27:25That's three words for you reset refresh
- 27:29Refocus, okay
- 27:31Because right now this team is not going anywhere. Okay, if I'm a player in this team
- 27:37I am calling my agent. I'm figuring out. Hey
- 27:41What would my value be if I was a hit free agency? What teams you think will probably be interested in me?
- 27:47Let's start, you know, let's start building up a transition plan once this season is over with
- 27:53If I'm on a contract, you know, what do I need to do so I can request
- 27:57Request a trade so I can get out of here all those different types of things. Okay, because this is a mess
- 28:03This is a complete mess and you are going to need somebody
- 28:07To come in and to clean this up on both sides of the ball
- 28:11Okay, you have to figure out what you're going to do with Aaron Rodgers
- 28:14You have to figure out what you're going to do with the vante atoms. There's just so much to figure out at this point
- 28:19This isn't going to be an overnight thing. This is going to be a
- 28:23You know multi-year process thing and so you have to be able to sell that
- 28:28To the owner as well despite his departure because he's going to be the ambassador for the uk from that mistake
- 28:34I don't know. No one no one cares about that. But
- 28:38I do think what what does need to be talked about though is the vante atoms
- 28:42You know words that you know that that came out a few days ago on the up and Adam show
- 28:48And I quote I mean it'll be a sad thing for sure. But hopefully that's not the case
- 28:54That's why we got to make the most of the ones we have here
- 28:57We had a decent showing last game and I do say decent because it's not up to our standard of greatness
- 29:02But it was definitely a step in the right direction and I quote
- 29:06And that's basically him talking about you know the potential of him
- 29:10You know being released and you know not playing with Aaron Rodgers anymore
- 29:13But this is something important that I think needs to be talked about though since joining the Jets
- 29:19Devante Adams has had four re-receptions for 453 receiving yards three touchdowns in seven games, right?
- 29:26He has failed to surpass 100 receiving yards in six of the seven games that he's been with the Jets
- 29:34This has been a complete dumpster fire
- 29:38For this season. Okay
- 29:40I understand that you wanted to play with your guy
- 29:43Understand, you know, you have the most success with your guy, but at the end of the day, guess what?
- 29:49It has been nothing but a waste of time
- 29:52You have wasted another season
- 29:54Trying to think that you are going to win
- 29:57with this guy
- 29:59And granted I understand that you know you have chemistry with him
- 30:03And you probably didn't want to try to develop chemistry with other players
- 30:05But guess what when you look at all the other teams that were interested in you?
- 30:10Guess what all three of those other teams are going to go to the playoffs
- 30:14You're not going to go to the playoffs and not to mention it also doesn't help
- 30:19That you also have the highest cap hit on the team at 38.3 million
- 30:25So it'll be different if your stats was phenomenal
- 30:30Then they can try to talk themselves into you know taking on that cap
- 30:34But because you really have been playing the best this season
- 30:39They're gonna have to let you go and if I'm Devonte Adams if I'm in his corner
- 30:43I'm probably telling you a bro. Listen, you done did everything else. Okay, you done got the money
- 30:48You didn't got all the other success
- 30:50It's time for you to end this thing with the championship and if I'm Devonte Adams
- 30:55I want to be released and I want to try to go for any of these other playoff caliber teams at this point because
- 31:02You have more years behind you than you do ahead of you and you want to end things on the right foot
- 31:09Which is what holding up a Lombardi trophy for the other team that we are talking about okay?
- 31:16Patriots in the season strong
- 31:19Nobody expected for you to win five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve games. All right
- 31:25We all know that you're going through a hard rebuild. So the expectations are fairly low, but
- 31:30You are going to have some tough matchups. Okay some really tough matchups
- 31:35You have to go up against Arizona
- 31:37Buffalo the Chargers and then Buffalo again. Those are some really good defenses and they're going to punch you in the mouth
- 31:43So you have to be prepared for that
- 31:45Not to mention you just released kj Osborne who's probably one of your most productive receivers
- 31:50Even though yes that it was a mutual parting, but still
- 31:54You know you have that and whatnot. So
- 31:57Just just just try to win something at least try to make it competitive
- 32:01If you try to make it competitive, I don't think no one's really gonna say just get steamrolled by the rest of these teams
- 32:06I don't know now. I'm not saying that you know, they're gonna get rid of Jarot male or anything, but again
- 32:12The expectations coming into this season was fairly low. I think this was probably their ceiling with three games
- 32:19You know now you have to position yourselves for next year when it comes to the draft and free agency and all those different types of things
- 32:26Now when we look at the dolphins though, you still have a chance to make it into the playoffs
- 32:31However, the role to get into the playoffs is going to be hard
- 32:35Okay, because you're going to have to go begins Houston San Francisco Cleveland and the Jets
- 32:41You're going to have to go up against some teams that are still trying to fight
- 32:46To you know, either make it into the playoffs or just try to end the season strong case in point the Browns
- 32:51No disrespect to the Browns
- 32:53And so, you know, right now you are five in no no no no no no no they're six and seven
- 33:00They are six and seven because they won against the Jets on Sunday. You're six and seven, right?
- 33:05So right now if you go in a little bit of a run, you beat Houston
- 33:09You beat San Francisco
- 33:12That's eight eight and seven. Okay, cool. You beat Cleveland nine and seven then you beat the Jets 10 and seven
- 33:18You can still get into the wild card now. Am I saying or am I saying that they're going to make it far? Probably not
- 33:26Probably not simply because of the time that you know that tool was away from the team because they were trying to figure out exactly
- 33:32the severity of his concussions and whatnot and you know, that's not necessarily a penalty to the team or whatnot
- 33:38But that's just where where the team is right now if I'm the dolphins
- 33:44Try to see if you can get to the wild card
- 33:45If you can't get into the wild card within at least you have some good tape that you can review
- 33:50And assess and make your decisions about how you want this team to you know to move forward
- 33:56You know going into next year because as of right now this team in my mind has failed the expectations, right?
- 34:03You paid to a all that money
- 34:06cool
- 34:07You traded for Tyree kill you paid Jay Robato. You got a left tackle
- 34:13You you know did what you did with the defense and whatnot and so far it really has not paid
- 34:20Fairly well you haven't made it to a fc championship
- 34:23Let alone you made it to the Super Bowl and right now
- 34:27It's not looking good
- 34:29And I would not be surprised if that head coach is sort of on the hot seat right now
- 34:33But hey, that's another story for the offseason. Okay now for the bills
- 34:37Keep adding pressure on the cheeks for the number one seed now granted
- 34:41You had an ugly game against the Rams on Sunday. And so now you have to try to bounce back from that
- 34:49Okay, because as of right now Pittsburgh
- 34:52Could jump over you and get the second seed if you lose to the bills
- 34:56And that's probably going to be one of their hardest matchups this entire season
- 35:00So you're going to have to be buttoned up when it comes to the play calling and whatnot
- 35:04And then after Detroit you have New England the Jets and then New England again
- 35:08Those are three games that you should be able to steamroll and to win
- 35:11But again, those are divisional games so anything can happen
- 35:16Moving on to the afc west keep adding pressure onto the chiefs because as of right now the chargers
- 35:23Could continue to be a nuisance to the chiefs even though. Yes, they do have the number one seed
- 35:30You can still try to mess things up, you know for them, right?
- 35:34Because as of right now you have Tampa Bay
- 35:36Denver
- 35:38New England and then the Raiders two of your divisional rivals
- 35:42Fairly soon. Okay, Tampa Bay's defense even though. Yes, they are banged up a little bit. They can still give you problems problems
- 35:50New England no problem
- 35:53Vegas no problem. So
- 35:55Again, you're in a really good spot. You really are so
- 35:59You want to try to continue to build off of this momentum because you're going to need it going into the playoffs
- 36:06You really are now for the Broncos keep fighting
- 36:10Okay, yes, you you know
- 36:13You're in the mix to make it into the playoffs great, but at the same time guess what you want to try to
- 36:20You know
- 36:21Get as high as you can with when it comes to the seating
- 36:25You want to because as of right now if i'm not mistaken
- 36:28I think the chargers are still the fives are still the fifth seed and the Broncos right now are still the seventh seed
- 36:34so
- 36:35Hey, if you want to get a little bit higher, you know what you you know what you're going to have to do
- 36:39You're gonna have to win your you know the most important games you are
- 36:42You know when we look at it you have the chargers you have Cincinnati and then you end things with Kansas City. So
- 36:50Most likely that game against Kansas City patch of my homes and company will probably be rested. Who knows but
- 36:55You know for the Raiders
- 36:57Thanos snap
- 36:59Yes, I said it Thanos snap get all that get all that uh infinity stones
- 37:05Better yet use all your super bowl rings that you won, you know in the 80s and whatnot
- 37:09Put them all into an infinity gauntlet and then snap your fingers because guess what this season is over for you
- 37:15Okay, it is kaput. It is done. It is finito. It is over game
- 37:22over, okay
- 37:24Even when you look at their schedule and lana jacksonville
- 37:27Uh new Orleans and the chargers
- 37:30I do not believe they are not going to win any of those games because I think they are
- 37:35You know 100 of focused on trying to get your door sanders
- 37:40And so they realize hey, we want to be able to try to get that you know that number one pick and keep the number one overall
- 37:45Pick because we have to do lose and that's exactly what they're going to do
- 37:49The chiefs prepare for the gauntlet
- 37:52That's right
- 37:53Prepare for the gauntlet and the reason why I say that is because you have to go against cleveland, houston, pittsburgh, denver
- 38:01All have really good defenses and I would not be surprised if the browns want to try to damper
- 38:07You know the the end of your season
- 38:10I would not be surprised and then not to mention you have to go against houston can't sleep on them
- 38:15You have to go against pittsburgh on christmas. Everyone's going to be watching that game on my fellow junkies
- 38:20You know you're going to be watching that game because I'm going to be watching that game
- 38:23Most likely there's a good chance you might lose but again
- 38:28Who knows?
- 38:29But I do know this the chiefs
- 38:32They don't look the best they sort of look like some of those patriot, you know teams
- 38:37In the later parts of their dynasty where it seemed a little bit shaky
- 38:41You don't really know if they're really going to be super competitive in the playoffs and then guess what next thing you know
- 38:46They're in the super bowl once again, but hopefully that is not the case though, but
- 38:52Let's go to the nfc side
- 38:54whoo nfc east man
- 38:56I'm what is there to say about you guys that hasn't been said already, you know giants hit the button
- 39:04Okay, hit the better. Yeah. Don't even hit the button. Just yank out the cord
- 39:10From the wall. Okay, because it's it's over. Okay wrap it up tie it up throw it in the trash
- 39:16It's over with okay, and then not to mention not too long ago
- 39:20Brian Dable reported that you know drew lock is in a walking boot
- 39:23So that means Tommy DeVito was going to be the starting quarterback on Sunday. Whoo. This is uh
- 39:29This is not going to be good
- 39:32This team is about to get steamrolled. Okay, they are about to get cooked. They are about to get baked
- 39:37Habachi grilled fried pan seared with a little bit of butter and in time
- 39:43You know do do the little thing when you get the spoon you keep on scooping scooping scooping scooping scooping
- 39:49That's exactly what's gonna happen. Keep on scooping scooping scooping scooping else. Okay
- 39:55Oh, that was a great analogy. I'm gonna have to keep that in but
- 39:59Yeah, there's nothing really to say about the giants. They're preparing for the draft
- 40:03They're preparing for you know their next quarterback who they're probably going to draft and whatnot. Oh probably can't war
- 40:08That wouldn't be surprised for the cowboys finish strong
- 40:11You know the reason why I say this is because despite
- 40:15The ups and downs that the cowboys have had this season
- 40:18You still want to try to root for them not me because I don't like the cowboys not one bit
- 40:23But if you're a cowboy fan, you still want to try to root for them just to finish strong
- 40:26Especially for players on that team that you know have a lot of uncertainty because again, this team has a lot of uncertainty
- 40:34You don't know if they're going to keep Mike McCarthy. You don't know if they're going to bring in a new head coach
- 40:37You don't know if they're going to you know clean out the positional coaches even though you're your season didn't end the best
- 40:43Guess what you finish strong. Do I even really want to say the rest of their matchups? Yeah, you might as well
- 40:49Carolina Tampa Bay Philly Washington. I don't think they're gonna end well
- 40:54I do not think this is gonna end well folks. I just don't know
- 40:59Now for the commanders you already most likely are going to be in the playoffs
- 41:03Do I think they're going to win?
- 41:05No, do I think they probably could try to win possibly but hey, who knows?
- 41:11But you know when we look at this, you know
- 41:14When they were on that hot start, you know, there there was people saying oh man, jayden danes looking
- 41:19You know like a generation talent. He's doing his thing
- 41:23And that's the thing, you know, he runs into Baltimore and Pittsburgh and then things get a little bit cool
- 41:28Things get a little bit chilled and now they're in a situation where although you do have a winning record
- 41:34You want to try to at least end things with you making to the playoffs just to add the cherry
- 41:40On top the next games that they have to go up against are
- 41:43New Orleans Philly Atlanta and then Dallas
- 41:47New Orleans is somewhat of a dumpster fire
- 41:51um
- 41:52Everybody else up in the air because I mean, you know the divisional poems especially Philly and in Dallas
- 41:58Atlanta, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if they bench, you know, Kirk Cousins and had Michael Penik's play
- 42:04So wouldn't be surprised with that. But all in all you had a really great season build build off of that momentum for next year
- 42:12Address the holes on the team and figure out how you can make this team better now for the Eagles
- 42:17I had silence the naysayers
- 42:20Especially with everything going on right now with the whole
- 42:23You know jamerhurst and aj brown situation
- 42:26You want to tamp that down and the only way that you can tamp that down is if you be dominant for the rest of the season
- 42:31Because right now you have to go up against penceburg
- 42:34Washington Dallas and then the Giants. I can tell you right now the Giants
- 42:39Most likely they're going to rest their starters and Kenny will not Kenny. Lenny Pickett is going to be in
- 42:45Uh, Dallas, I don't know that might actually be a pretty good game. That might actually be a bad good game
- 42:50I don't know Washington might even be the same thing, but penceburg. Yeah. Yeah
- 42:56We want our revenge especially from from two years ago when y'all was doing your thing and aj brown was
- 43:02Was pointing at people when he was basically Randy moss 2.0 on the field. Oh, yeah
- 43:07Yeah, we want our revenge
- 43:09We wanted it's a little bit personal on sunday
- 43:11So all my eagles fans just know if y'all don't hear from me on sunday. Just know it's nothing but love after the game
- 43:18Not during the game for the nfc north though lions
- 43:21Maintain control of the divisional and conference lead. You are on a hot streak right now
- 43:27You are the most dominant team in the nfc. However
- 43:33You want you don't want to try to you know get the high horse and feel like you're undefeated and no one can
- 43:40You know can take you down because guess what it'll be that one team that
- 43:44Nobody would expect and then guess what they punch you in the mouth and now you're out of the playoffs, right?
- 43:49Because when we look at it, you have to go against Buffalo. That's going to be a tough matchup
- 43:54Chicago, I don't think that's really going to be a tough matchup
- 43:57I think they're just you know licking their wounds and just reassessing and how they're going to
- 44:02You know address this team, you know moving forward, especially next year
- 44:06San Francisco, they may try to put up a fight just because they want to try to see if they can get into the playoffs
- 44:12In the Vikings, they're already in the playoffs, but they'll definitely try to you know fight you tooth and nail
- 44:17That's not a game where you can just rest your starters. I'm sorry
- 44:20But for the Packers clean up your self-inflicted wounds and prepare yourself for the playoffs
- 44:26You know the last few games the problem with the Packers is
- 44:30their self-inflicted wounds the holding calls the
- 44:33You know the small minute things those things add up, okay? If you keep on getting a holding call, you know every two or three drives
- 44:42That's going to put you in a bad, you know in a bad position on the field
- 44:46But if you clean that up and if you try to play a little bit more better football more consistent better football
- 44:53Well, then guess what you won't have to worry about those things and even now they're still in a really good spot
- 44:59So you want to try to sneak into the playoffs because right now people are sleeping on you
- 45:05But guess what I believe in you. Well, I really don't believe in you, but I believe in you
- 45:10Just a little bit
- 45:12Not a whole lot though because when we look at this you have to go up against Seattle
- 45:17New Orleans Minnesota, and then Chicago
- 45:20Chicago you can most likely you know rest your starters, but the rest of those three games. Oh, no, you're gonna have to fight
- 45:26You're gonna have to fight for your rights. I know all the chiefs fans are probably saying to
- 45:31Nobody cares vikings prepare yourself for the playoffs
- 45:35Okay, because right now you are right under the lines when it comes to playoff seating and whatnot
- 45:41If I'm not mistaken, I think they have the second seed second or third seed don't
- 45:46If I got it wrong, you know, don't don't hold into me and whatnot
- 45:49But when we look at this, you know, you have to go up against Chicago
- 45:53Then Seattle Green Bay and then Detroit
- 45:56The last three games. I mean that's pretty brutal just to to end things right. I mean dang
- 46:02Green Bay and then Detroit to the two games to end the season good. God. Oh my
- 46:08Whoo, man, man. Oh man, but you know
- 46:12If you would have told me this Vikings team
- 46:15Would be in the position that there are right now, especially with Sam Darno. I would have called you a liar
- 46:20But you know Sam Darno has basically played himself into a new a new contract
- 46:25most likely 30 to 40 plus million a year and
- 46:29You know, they could probably be a big problem to other NFC teams
- 46:34I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings make it to the Super Bowl this year. I just would not be surprised. Hey, you never know
- 46:40Vikings and Steelers
- 46:42Super Bowl who knows?
- 46:45Bears reset. I understand, you know, you guys have a lot of hype coming into the season
- 46:51I understand that, you know, the team got you this weapon and that weapon and this person and that person but
- 46:58You know, I think it's just I think it's just time to just assess where the team is and just realize. Hey
- 47:07We're not going anywhere. There's no there's no point in us trying to fight to go anywhere
- 47:12We might as well just want to assess what we have
- 47:15You know on the team and figure out if we need to make any adjustments and whatnot and if I'm the head coach
- 47:21This is also important for you as well because hey if you win
- 47:26In the next four games
- 47:29You might have a little bit of leverage to say hey, we won the last four games of the season
- 47:34Keep me on the team. I want to stay here and I want to continue to build with Caleb Williams, right?
- 47:40compared to just you know getting rid of you and then
- 47:44You know bringing in somebody else and then messing up that chemistry and whatnot
- 47:48Now for the NFC south finish strong
- 47:50If you would have told me that Carolina would would be where they are right now would have called you a liar and for them to
- 47:57You know turn their season around
- 47:59especially specifically for
- 48:02Bryce young I would have called you a liar
- 48:04I definitely was under the impression that Bryce young was definitely going to get traded by the trade deadline simply because you know
- 48:11He wasn't playing well then he got benched and whatnot. And so, you know, once that happens, you're probably thinking oh
- 48:17They're about to move off of him and you know ride with with uh with Andy dawn
- 48:22But clearly that's not the case and they've showed a little bit of fight and a little bit of grit
- 48:27And you know, that's something that you can that you can carry on into next season
- 48:31So, you know, when we look at their their schedule the remaining schedule
- 48:36Dallas, Arizona
- 48:38Tampa Bay and then Atlanta
- 48:40So you end the season with two divisional opponents
- 48:44Most likely two of those opponents are probably going to make it into the playoffs
- 48:49So, you know, just try to fight. Maybe you could try to mess up their their odds or their chances of making it into the playoffs
- 48:55Who knows?
- 48:56Saints prepare for the offseason
- 48:59I don't want to go on this on this crazy sold box
- 49:02But I think it's just time that you acknowledge that you're going to go through a real
- 49:07Rebuild I think this experiment with Derek Carr has has you know has run its course
- 49:13And I think it's time for you to go young and cheap at this point because outside of that game against the cowboys
- 49:22Derek Carr really hasn't been doing a whole lot. I'm I'm sorry
- 49:26He just has it and you know
- 49:28With his head coach getting fired and then you have the intern head coach and whatnot
- 49:33Most likely he's going to get fired as well and then they're going to bring in somebody else and
- 49:37It it's just going to be a whole lot of change and turnover. So it's just best that you go into a different direction at this point
- 49:44Now when we look at their schedule, right? They have
- 49:48Washington Green Bay, Las Vegas, and then Tampa Bay
- 49:52I don't know if you know
- 49:56If they're going to try to see they can fight but if I was them
- 49:59Maybe you could try to see if you can, you know
- 50:02When maybe one or two games to just to have a little bit of momentum, but at this point just just prepare prepare for the off-season
- 50:09Okay, you know when you have players like demario davis
- 50:13and Cameron jordan
- 50:16I think if I'm the Saints organization, I would release them and not not not for anything bad
- 50:21But simply because you want to put them in a position where you know, they could possibly compete for a title
- 50:26You know, I think it would be right for them to do so because they've done so much for this team
- 50:32They've been with this team through the ups and downs highs and lows
- 50:36So what better way to you know to help them than to just let them choose
- 50:41If they want to you know go to a championship team or if they want to retire
- 50:45Because this team needs to get young
- 50:48They need to clean up their their books when it comes to the catchphrase and whatnot
- 50:51And then you start off loading some of these big contracts instead of just
- 50:56Doing a whole bunch of restructures and pushing money down, you know towards the end of the contract and then before you know it
- 51:02Now you're you know, you're in the negative and you're trying to figure out exactly how you're going to get
- 51:07Into the positives so that you can try to you know sign some people and then sign your your draft picks and whatnot
- 51:12It's a whole bunch of stuff. Just hit the reset button. Please now for the Buccaneers fight for a wild card spot
- 51:19Okay
- 51:21You can still make it into the playoffs
- 51:23You're your neck and neck with the Falcons
- 51:27But the only way that you can you know that you can separate yourself is if you keep on winning and right now
- 51:34You have to go against the Chargers
- 51:36Dallas Carolina and then New Orleans, right? You know that the chargers are going to give you a problem
- 51:43They are a really good defense as well as a really good offense. Okay, Carolina
- 51:47They still got some grit with them. Okay, New Orleans run them over. Okay
- 51:54Go on the ship and say set sail for New Orleans run them over. Okay now for the Falcons
- 52:00Extend your divisional lead. Okay, because remember there was a point in time where you know
- 52:05There was a lot of uncertainty with Kirk cousins because Kirk cousins wasn't looking the best and that you know, there was a chance that
- 52:12You know, Michael pinnings would come in but you know, they have confirmed and basically stood by Kirk cousin side
- 52:19And will continue to give him a chance. So but when we look at their schedule
- 52:24Schedule schedule schedule excuse me. They have the the Raiders the Giants Washington and then Carolina
- 52:32The Giants and the Raiders you can steamroll them simply because they're preparing for the draft
- 52:37Washington they're going to fight you tooth and nail and on top of that
- 52:41That's a little bit of a revenge game for Dan Quinn
- 52:44Uh, Carolina, they have a little bit of grit with them too. So you can't count them out as well. So
- 52:50You know, there's that now when we look at the NFC West
- 52:53You want to try to fight?
- 52:55Okay, and the reason why I say that is because your division is still very competitive. Okay
- 53:01It's not like you're the lions or the eagles where you just have this large
- 53:06Marjoram of a Lee against your other divisional rival rivals. It's still fairly close
- 53:13So, you know, you want to try to extend that as much as you can
- 53:18You have Green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago, and then the Rams. That's a very tough four game schedule. Okay
- 53:25Green Bay, they're going to give you problems
- 53:28Minnesota problems the bears
- 53:32Hunting
- 53:34The Rams they're going to give you problems as well. So
- 53:38You you have to prepare yourself because most likely you're going to be fighting
- 53:43Okay, because if you give the car knows just a little bit of wiggle room
- 53:47If you give the Rams just a little bit of wiggle room
- 53:50They can come come on in take your spot and the next thing you know
- 53:54You're trying to figure out how you're going to you know, try to fight even a little bit harder to get where you're trying to go because
- 54:00Again, this team is young fairly inexperienced. The ceiling for them is a little bit lower
- 54:07Simply because you know, they've had a lot of turnover. They got a new head coach and whatnot
- 54:11but you know for them to be in the driver's seat of their offseason is great and
- 54:18You know to me, I feel like they have exceeded expectations
- 54:21And I feel like you know, this team is going to be a really good team
- 54:25You know moving forward now for the car knows
- 54:28Try to win the division and get a wild card spot now
- 54:32I understand that they lost against the Seahawks and whatnot and and I understand, you know
- 54:37It puts them back in in a bad position
- 54:40But you still want to try to fight you don't want to lay down
- 54:43And just mope and and grop and whatnot. No, you want to fight. Okay
- 54:48You have new England. That should be a winnable game
- 54:51Carolina that should be a winnable game in the last two games or your divisional games the Rams in in San Francisco
- 54:58You have to play those games serious because if you don't
- 55:02The Rams can go over top of you the 49ers could try to sneak their way in into the wild card. Who knows, right?
- 55:10Those Cardinals are still a really good team. They still have a lot of good pieces. They can do it. They just have to be
- 55:18better, okay
- 55:19Collin Murray has to be better when it comes to his throws his play calling and everything, okay?
- 55:25Because once he starts throwing interceptions, you can physically see that he's just like mentally checked out or whatever
- 55:33Now for the final team
- 55:3549ers. Yes
- 55:3849ers
- 55:41Oh 49ers 49ers 49ers. Oh the faithful
- 55:45Hit the reset button and offload large contracts. Okay, and the reason why I say that is because
- 55:52Your team has gotten old and expensive
- 55:55You haven't really been hitting on your draft picks, especially in your first round, you know draft picks
- 55:59So it's time for you to offload some of those contracts and to prepare yourself
- 56:05you know
- 56:07Possibly for the end of your Super Bowl run
- 56:10I understand it was a great run. I understand that you know, you have multiple chances and you wasn't able to get them
- 56:16Now some of that could be blamed on certain people who will remain anonymous
- 56:20But the fact of the matter is this was a failed experiment and now it is time for you to get young
- 56:26and cheap
- 56:27Not to mention you have to prepare yourself for paying Brock Purdy, which
- 56:31Be possibly in the in the ballpark of 50 plus million a year. So you have to figure out what what you're going to do
- 56:37Um, if it was me personally, javon hardgrave
- 56:41If he doesn't want to do restructure got to go debo Samuel got to go George Kittle figure out what you're going to do with him other
- 56:48Uh, if it was me personally, maybe give him an extension maybe and then just figure out exactly
- 56:54What positions do you want to address now if it was me personally?
- 56:58I feel like they do need to address offensive line now. Am I saying they need to address it in the first round? No
- 57:03But at some point they they do need to address offensive line because it is now bite them in the butt
- 57:10Okay, do I think you know depending on how they do things in the off season that they could possibly make maybe one more run?
- 57:18Yes, but at the same time when you look at their division the Rams
- 57:23Have gotten a
- 57:25Tremendously better. Okay, the seahawks have gotten tremendously better and they're young
- 57:30Okay, the Cardinals are the same thing as well
- 57:34So you have passed the time where you could have steamrolled these these teams now
- 57:40Now these teams, you know, they they got some weapons with them and now they can fight back
- 57:45And so now you have to figure out exactly what can you do to make yourself stand out?
- 57:51Not only against your divisional opponents, but against any and every opponent that you have to face come next year
- 57:56If I'm Kyle Shanahan, maybe you have to figure out what you have to do with your personnel because you know
- 58:02There was a point in time where Kyle Shanahan's play calling
- 58:05You know, you were trying to figure out. Oh, what is it? How they do this? How they do that?
- 58:09And it was like somewhat of a secret
- 58:11But now that half of his you know personnel are either head coaches offensive coordinators or
- 58:17You know assistants or other teams
- 58:19Everybody now sort of knows a little bit of the playbook of the Kyle Shanahan offense
- 58:23And now defenses have been able to catch up and to scheme against it a lot better
- 58:29So when it in this episode here, oh my god an hour and three minutes. Whoo
- 58:35Man, man. Oh man. Oh man. This was a loaded episode. But yeah, I'm gonna end this right here
