Quick Take: NFL Divisional Round Preview · Height Differential

0:00
The Panthers were 10 point dogs and look like they're for a
0:07
second, they might be in for the upset but #9 did what number 9
0:12
did does and got them in the end zone late and they avoided the
0:18
scares. A lot of the, I mean, a lot of
0:20
people are picking the Rams to win at all and they escape and
0:24
move on, which is what it's all about at this point.
0:26
Yeah, I mean, that was it was it was the first game of the
0:29
playoffs and it started out with a great game.
0:31
And I mean, were, are you surprised that it that it was
0:36
close to the Rams that the the the Panthers had a chance?
0:40
Because, you know, in week 13, the Panthers took care of the
0:44
Rams at home. So this is not unfamiliar
0:47
territory for for the for the Panthers.
0:49
They've already beaten this team once and they were on the
0:52
doorstep of doing it again. But like you said, Matthew
0:55
Stafford became Matthew Stafford and they scored that touchdown
0:57
with two minutes left and the Panthers on their last drive
1:02
didn't move the ball at all and that was all she wrote.
1:04
But. No, I mean, I was just, I mean,
1:08
I didn't think Caroline would score 31 points.
1:10
And I mean Bryce Young was barely over 50% completion but
1:14
threw for 264 yards. And I mean, Jalen Coker was a,
1:18
was a, was a dude. He was a dude almost had 9
1:22
catches for 134 yards in a tutty.
1:25
And I mean, you, you got to give Carolina some credit for for
1:29
sticking in there. The crowd was into it.
1:30
They got behind early, had it look like the Rams might just
1:34
kind of put it away early and Puka missed that one easy
1:38
touchdown and that kind of spun the game a little bit.
1:41
But, and Stafford hurt his hand. You thought maybe that would be
1:43
an issue, but he was able to tough it out And but no, I mean,
1:50
there's something to be having home field advantage in a
1:53
playoff game. And I don't care if you're 8 or
1:54
9 or or what your record is. So they didn't deserve it.
1:58
But but still getting a road playoff win and and figuring out
2:02
a way to survive, I mean, that's what the playoffs are all about.
2:04
And you got to give Stafford credit, and I think that's why
2:07
he's probably going to be the MVP.
2:11
Yeah. No, no, you're right.
2:14
You're right. And then the bears do what the
2:17
bears do. How do they keep doing it?
2:21
I don't know. You're down 11 late.
2:24
You're down. What at?
2:26
1818 going to halftime, yeah. And these fourth down plays that
2:34
Kayla Williams continues to make when everything's on the line,
2:39
it's I mean, what is this, his seventh game-winning drive of
2:44
the year when they needed to drive to win it late.
2:49
And they're 11 and 6, meaning seven of their eleven wins have
2:51
come on their last drive, which is the only time I bet it is
2:57
when I bet against the Niners, the one time they didn't do it.
3:00
So for all the Bears fans out there, I will not be betting on
3:03
the on the Bears late because that will run their run.
3:07
I don't want that on me. But I mean, it wasn't like, once
3:12
again, Caleb Williams is only 50%, but when he needs to make
3:17
plays, he makes plays. And there was no love lost
3:24
between the two coaches after the game.
3:26
No, I saw that and that was kind of funny.
3:29
That's that's what the sport needs.
3:33
We need some more of that. We need some more fire.
3:35
Well, let me when we did our rivalry rankings, what, a couple
3:39
months ago or maybe about a month ago before the UK UL game,
3:43
we included the Bears and the Packers.
3:44
We did. And that's because it is one of
3:46
the, oh, it's the Otis rivalry and probably professional sports
3:51
in the United States. Yeah, I want to if it's not.
3:55
And yeah, like Ben Johnson, hating the Packers as much as he
4:01
does is good for the rivalry. It's great for the, I mean, he,
4:05
he came from, didn't he come from Detroit?
4:07
Yeah, he was their OC. Yeah, so I mean, he's he has a
4:10
history of playing the Packers and you know, he probably hated
4:12
the Packers from when he was in Detroit.
4:13
And when you become the head coach of their big of Green
4:18
Bay's biggest rival, I mean, you're probably going to have
4:20
him even another level. So it's good for the rabbit.
4:23
I love it. I love his little locker room
4:25
antics and everything that he did.
4:26
Do you like? The blow by Yeah, why not?
4:29
Are you a blow by guy? In a situation like that, you
4:33
have an emotional game, you pick up the win.
4:35
Basically, when it was down to the last play, you're fired up.
4:39
I mean, I'm not going to sit there, shake your hand and talk
4:42
to you for 5 minutes. I'm going to give you a quick
4:44
handshake and I'm running and celebrating with my guys.
4:47
I can't wait to get to that locker room and celebrate with
4:49
my guys. So yeah, getting the handshake
4:50
and. It was barely even a handshake.
4:53
It was just shouldn't go. And he slid left too.
4:57
Like, I could never do it personally.
4:59
Like if I was a head coach, there's no way I could do it,
5:01
but as a fan of a team, I kind of want my coach to be a Dick.
5:06
I. Mean some of the greatest
5:08
coaches are are that way, yeah. No, I and I mean, that's what
5:12
Zach Taylor is not. He's clearly not that.
5:16
No, he's not and. Like, I don't know, I kind of
5:21
loved it. I kind of loved it.
5:22
And as a Bears fan, I would love it.
5:25
Like, I agree with you. I want my coach to hate every
5:29
team they play, especially our division rivals.
5:31
Yeah, yeah, you're going to respect them and show respect,
5:33
but you hate them and want to beat them.
5:36
And I want to see my coach in the locker room after the game
5:39
saying F the team that we just beat.
5:42
That's what he did. I mean, and you would never,
5:45
ever would see Zach Taylor say F the Steelers or F the Ravens
5:49
after they beat them. I really wish you would
5:51
sometimes show me that he cares a little bit.
5:55
You know, you, you want your coach to kind of have that edge,
5:57
to kind of be a jerk, to be a maniac.
5:59
Yeah. And I mean, as a human being,
6:04
I'm like, no, it's kind of job as a fan of a team, that's kind
6:08
of what I want to see. And.
6:10
Like it was it was an emotional game.
6:13
Like that came down to that last play.
6:14
Like I said, like he's excited. He wants to get to the locker
6:17
room and celebrate with his with his team, so give him a quick
6:20
handshake and run off the field. I got no problem with it.
6:23
I think he also. Yeah, it up.
6:26
I think there's also a little bit of strategy there too, like
6:28
he wants to be a little bit of, you know.
6:33
Yeah, I mean. You wonder if Lafleur.
6:36
Packers don't like it. Packers.
6:37
How will he? How will he respond?
6:39
Will he start acting the same way back to him because he
6:42
hasn't acted that way towards the Bears?
6:44
No, he has not. And where did all these cheese
6:46
grater hats come from over the last month?
6:50
Everybody has cheese grater hats.
6:51
It's the first time the bears have been good in a while and
6:53
now they they they're they're talking all the smack.
6:56
He had the he had the actually had the cheese grater hat.
7:00
He had the actual cheese grater on the set after the game.
7:04
It was grating some freshly some fresh cheddar on the post game
7:08
set. Yes, the Bills and Josh Allen
7:14
finally came into this game, O and four and road playoff games.
7:18
They were O and eight dating back to like the early 90s.
7:22
In their last eight playoff games, they were down.
7:25
They trailed late. But I mean, Josh Allen gets 10
7:29
yards on a on a tush. Push, tush, push.
7:32
Yeah. Gets them down to the one they
7:36
end up getting in on the next play and and then they they get
7:38
a pick to seal it. But I mean, I think this, I
7:43
mean, obviously it's a tough road for the Bills, but them
7:46
getting that road win and getting that off off the snide a
7:50
little bit, giving Josh Allen some confidence, I think could
7:53
really kind of propel this team on a on a Super Bowl run.
7:58
Yeah, I think the Bills are would be my choice to win the
8:00
Super Bowl. And if they're not going to do
8:02
it this year, then I don't know when they would with no Mahomes,
8:05
no Burrow, no Lamar, You know, this is Josh Allen's time to
8:08
shine. He's the superstar of these
8:10
playoffs. He's the defending MVP.
8:12
Like this is his moment, you know, and yesterday when when
8:15
his team need him the most, he stepped up and then let him on
8:18
that touchdown drive. But a great game, Jackson, what
8:21
a season Jacksonville had but a great game and 4-4 lead changes
8:25
in the fourth quarter. But Buffalo I think is just a
8:29
little bit better than the better team.
8:31
Think they're probably, in my opinion, probably the best team
8:34
in these playoffs right now. But I mean nobody, I did not
8:40
expect Jacksonville to even nobody expects that Jacksonville
8:43
will be here but not let alone put up a fight in the first
8:46
round of against against Buffalo and Josh Allen.
8:51
No, I mean, yeah, give reward for how many in a row did they
8:56
go into the playoff winning seven or eight in a row?
8:58
Yeah, yeah. And and your your reward is to
9:00
play Josh Allen and and Buffalo, Yeah, at at home.
9:05
Self match up. Yeah, definitely.
9:07
It's tough. I mean, you're getting the best
9:09
quarterback in the in the playoffs and I mean there's
9:13
nothing to hang their head about about for Jacksonville.
9:16
And I don't know if you saw the the post game.
9:21
I did, yeah. But there was a reporter that
9:24
was basically saying what we're saying and saying the coach.
9:29
And you can kind of see that Liam Cohen is down.
9:31
I mean, you just got beat all you, you're exhausted, you're
9:34
disappointed. And she's just like, no great
9:37
season. Like keep your head up and you
9:39
can see his face kind of lighten up.
9:41
He did. I think you can tell he he
9:43
appreciated what she was saying to him.
9:45
And there's a lot of people that are saying, you know what?
9:50
That's not really acceptable in a press conference.
9:54
That's not what a a reporter should be saying to a coach.
9:57
What are your? What's your take?
9:59
On that, why not? It's not like it's a regular
10:01
season game. You're like, man, keep your head
10:02
up coach. You almost pulled that one out
10:04
here in week 13. No, his season is over and it
10:06
was a great season To me. He's probably should be coach of
10:09
the year, NFL coach of the year. You know, you take a
10:12
Jacksonville Jaguar, You had the number two overall pick in the
10:14
draft last year. You were terrible, and not only
10:18
did you win the division, you won the division winning seven
10:22
straight games. You're hosting a playoff game.
10:24
You're taking the Buffalo Bills, who are probably the Super Bowl
10:27
favorites with the defending MVP, down to the wire in a game
10:31
that you could have and maybe should have won at the end
10:33
there. I got no problem with it.
10:36
Like the season's over. Like now.
10:38
Wait, if if not, that's not the time.
10:40
When's the time? Because she's not going to talk
10:41
to him again. She's not going to talk to him
10:43
again until next season. Look and look reporters and
10:47
coaches develop relationships and.
10:49
They're human. They're human beings.
10:52
Like everybody who's mad about this, get off your high horse.
10:56
They're human beings, like. And this is what?
11:00
Like it was so wholesome. Yes, right, Yes.
11:03
But you genuinely see his face be lifted by her encouragement.
11:07
I don't I didn't see The Who they actually like.
11:09
I never saw a picture of her, but she sounded like she might
11:11
have been a little bit older than Liam Cohen because she said
11:13
hold your head up, young man called him a young man.
11:15
So I mean, that's, you know, that's just a sign of respect
11:19
between two humans, like a genuine interaction.
11:21
They got no issue with that. Yeah, I mean, you're seeing
11:25
people like the AP reporters out there.
11:27
Either be a reporter or be a fan.
11:29
You can't do both. Why can't you be a reporter and
11:31
respect the job that? Somebody what?
11:33
This isn't being a fan, This was that.
11:35
Was it was not a fan comment, that was not a fan comment.
11:38
Look hold your head up. You had a great year, like
11:40
nobody expected y'all to do what you did this year.
11:42
Like you had a chance to be the one seed correct going into and
11:45
you didn't do anything like you won all your games.
11:49
No, I just thought this is what sports is about.
11:53
And I it was just to see his face go from being dejected to
11:58
seeing him kind of light up and be like, you know what?
12:01
We should yeah, we're disappointed, but we should be
12:03
proud of the job we did. And like everybody who's saying,
12:08
you just get out of here. Like I said, it was genuine
12:10
interaction between two humans and he definitely looked like he
12:15
appreciated the words that she was saying.
12:17
Oh, there's no doubt. So I got yeah, it's dumb.
12:21
Absolutely dumb. Super Bowl champs are done.
12:27
I think that when I got right that you got wrong.
12:29
You did pick that one, didn't you?
12:30
Yeah. So that makes up for me picking
12:33
the Chargers over the Patriots. But yeah.
12:37
I forgot you picked that one too.
12:39
I mean the Jawan Jennings touchdown pass to Christian
12:43
McCaffrey. I mean Christian McCaffrey.
12:45
I know he only had 100 total yards, 50 rushing, 70 receiving,
12:50
but and I know that they're handing probably the MVP trophy
12:54
to to to Stafford or maybe Drake May, but Christian McCaffrey
12:58
needs to be talked about more for the MVP for what he does.
13:02
I mean his. Numbers.
13:03
He almost had 1000 yards receiving and rushing this year.
13:06
No, he's a do it all kind of back and there's no question
13:08
he's the the Swiss army knife of that team.
13:10
And it's, it's good to see him finally stay healthy for for a
13:14
whole season And, and you really showcase, you know, just how
13:17
good he is because we knew he was good, but he wasn't playing
13:21
full seasons. He was playing half seasons and
13:23
missing games here and there. So, you know, it is good to see
13:26
him finally healthy and doing this, you know, on a big stage.
13:30
But this game I and, you know, Philadelphia LED pretty much the
13:35
entire way. But I always felt, and I don't
13:40
know if this was because they've had issues offensively.
13:43
They, you know, I, I don't know what it was, but something told
13:49
me that San Francisco was going to figure out a way to win this
13:52
game. And in the end, that's what
13:55
happened. And like, their linebackers are
14:00
all banged up. They're, they're playing guys
14:02
that haven't played all year. And they were all over the field
14:04
making stops. And I mean, what the Bengals
14:08
couldn't do all year is get a stop on the fourth quarter when
14:10
you're you've got the lead and they've got all these backups in
14:14
there and, and they're figuring out a way to get stops.
14:16
And you, you got to give Shanahan and his crew credit
14:19
because I feel like they do this every year.
14:20
They deal with injuries more than anybody else.
14:23
At least it seems that way. And we're at least of the teams
14:26
that are still successful. And I mean, party made plays
14:31
when he needed to. He had he had two interceptions.
14:34
And I mean, Juicyk had a couple huge plays, their full back and
14:39
a huge turn down reception to to keep a drive alive.
14:42
And I don't know, like this 49er team, like it's going to be two
14:49
NFC West teams playing to go to the title.
14:55
Which one? Which one?
14:57
Seahawks. Seahawks.
14:58
Rams. Like who?
14:59
Yeah, no, you. You're right.
15:02
Oh, but I didn't expect it to happen.
15:05
I thought that the Eagles win this game.
15:07
Obviously we talked about it last week.
15:09
The Eagles offense was just bad. It's been that.
15:11
It's been. It consisted all year.
15:14
During the game, you've got A.J. Brown and Nick Sirianni going at
15:17
it on the sideline like they just looked at a source.
15:19
They just, I don't know, something's off.
15:21
The offense was terrible, only putting up 19 points.
15:24
You're not going to win very many games putting up 19 points.
15:27
But you know, credit to the the Niners defense and Robert Sala,
15:31
former head coach is DC out there.
15:33
He's probably going to end up with a head coaching job.
15:35
I would say this cycle. I would take him as a Bengals
15:37
fan. I'd put him on my team.
15:38
And I, I would love Robert Sala be my head coach because he's,
15:41
he knows what he's doing and he's got his defense prepared
15:44
and they were prepared yesterday and, and shut down the Eagles.
15:48
Yeah, You talked about A.J. Brown and yeah, you see that
15:52
interaction on the sideline and then a big moment in the fourth
15:56
down and he just straight drops the ball.
15:58
That drop the ball going to go for a 30 to 40 yard gain.
16:01
And they just didn't seem like a winning football team to me.
16:07
And you can't have those issues. I don't think you can just flip
16:12
the switch and turn it on in the playoffs, even if you are the
16:15
defending Super Bowl champions. And you know, I give San
16:19
Francisco credit. They had that big play to
16:21
DeMarcus Robinson to start the game, that 61 yard game that set
16:25
them up and they took the seven O lead.
16:26
But I mean, they really didn't do anything the second and third
16:29
quarter and their defense held serve against the Philadelphia
16:33
offense. That maybe isn't all that good
16:36
right now, But they they hung in there and were able to make
16:39
plays in the fourth quarter and figure out a way to win on the
16:42
road, which any, any time you went on the road in the
16:46
playoffs, it's big. But when you can do it against
16:47
the defending Super Bowl champions, it's it's even
16:51
bigger. Yeah, yeah.
16:53
So I'm kind of glad the Eagles lost.
16:55
I mean, get some new blood in the in the Super Bowl.
17:01
So now next week in the in the AFC side, we got the Bills going
17:05
to Denver. Yeah.
17:08
And then you've got it'll be either the Steelers or the OR
17:14
the Texans going to the Patriots.
17:16
Patriots, yeah. And then the Niners go to the
17:18
Seahawks and the Rams go to the Bears.
17:24
So Bills, Broncos, you go with Bills.
17:27
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I've, I know the Broncos are the one seed,
17:31
but we've said, I've said all year, I'm still not sold on
17:33
them. I mean, they've pulled out games
17:35
that I can't believe they pulled out.
17:37
And you know, they, they just lost to Jacksonville at home
17:41
toward the end of the season and they lost about double digits to
17:43
the to the, to the Jaguars. So Buffalo on the road already
17:47
beating Jacksonville, winning a playoff game on the road.
17:50
I see no issue with them going to Denver and winning.
17:53
Yeah. And you know, you wonder like
17:54
we've and I know they're not taking a month off like they do
17:57
in college football, but you wonder if the Bills get a little
18:00
bit advantage from playing last week too.
18:03
So and getting that win on the road.
18:05
And now they've got a little momentum.
18:07
They're 1 1/2 point favorites. I'm I'm, I'm going the Bills.
18:11
And then the other game on Saturday is, is going to be the
18:14
Niners at the Seahawks. We just saw all this game, what,
18:18
two well, two weeks ago, it was the last game of the regular
18:21
season and, and the Seahawks just absolutely put it on the
18:24
Niners. They couldn't do anything
18:25
offensively. Which that was when that that
18:28
was for the 1C. When the when that for the 1C.
18:31
Yeah, No, yeah. Seahawks held them to three
18:33
points. That game was in San Fran.
18:37
I just think the Seahawks are better.
18:38
They'll probably end up winning the game, especially at home.
18:40
But the 12th man, give me the Seahawks.
18:43
No George Kittle for the Niners. You know, we saw Sam Darnold
18:51
take his team to a one seed last year.
18:54
And then he choked in the playoffs, Yeah.
18:56
And you just beat this team. Yeah, they just got a little
19:00
momentum with with the road win at Super Bowl champions.
19:05
I just think there's something special about this Niners team
19:10
and I, I think both 1 seeds are going to get beat on Saturday.
19:14
I mean, Sam Darnell has shown in the past he's susceptible for
19:17
that 4 interception game like he he can, he can turn it over with
19:21
the best of them. He's.
19:22
He's going to have to because their defense is so good.
19:25
Yeah, he's going to have to make mistakes.
19:27
Brock party's going to have to limit his mistakes, but there's
19:31
just something like I said, they were down the whole game against
19:34
the Eagles and I just kept thinking the Niners are going to
19:37
win. I there's something that tells
19:38
me the Niners are going to, they're not going to lose 2
19:40
games in a row to the Seahawks. They're going to figure out a
19:43
way to win late, and both 1 seeds will go down on Saturday.
19:48
So Nick Evans, the biggest 49ers fan I know.
19:52
I'm definitely not a Niners fan. Beat the Bengals in the Super
19:56
Bowl twice, so Rams at Bears. I don't even know how to pick
20:03
this one. Like it it.
20:06
On paper, I think the Rams should should win by two
20:09
touchdowns. But the Bears always find a way
20:13
to get it done. They get it done every time.
20:17
I don't know. I got I think the Rams are
20:19
better. I think the Rams should win.
20:21
But every time I doubt the Bears, they prove me wrong.
20:25
I mean, I'm still going Rams, but I, I, I would not be shocked
20:27
if the Bears pulled this out. Vegas agrees with you, they are
20:30
3 1/2 point favorites on the road.
20:33
Seattle, I didn't mention that is 7 point favorite at home
20:36
against the Niners, which I think that's really high.
20:40
That is high. But I mean at what point is this
20:46
bears magic going to run out like.
20:53
I mean. I think if you put these two
20:54
teams side by side, it's it's pretty clear you pick the Rams.
21:02
But there's, they just, they just keep doing it.
21:05
And you know, like you're talking about how good the 49ers
21:07
are. The Bears were on the doorstep.
21:10
They were at the goal line to win that game in San Francisco
21:12
in Week 16. It's like they they've proven
21:15
that they can play with the good teams in this league.
21:20
This is just another another case of that, just another
21:22
chance for them to prove it again.
21:23
And I don't I I hate to doubt them but.
21:28
I don't know I I think this one is so hard to pick too.
21:32
I've already went two Rd. teams, can I go 3 Rd. teams?
21:36
And this would be the road team I would pick out of all of them.
21:40
Yeah, I, I mean, I, I think it's like I, I think it's going to be
21:46
two NFC West teams in the NFC title game.
21:49
So give me 3 Rd. Rd. winners next.
21:56
Week, I'll tell you who you're not going to pick on the road,
21:58
and that's whoever wins this Steelers and Texans game going
22:02
to New England unless you want to go with the Texans, who won
22:05
eight straight. They, I mean they have the best
22:09
argument. Might have won nine straight.
22:10
They won the last week of the year, so they won nine straight.
22:13
They have arguably the best defense in the in the NFL, but
22:17
I'm not after seeing what the Patriots did last night.
22:21
Their defence is incredible and Drake May is like Drake May's.
22:28
Why I trust the Patriots and why I don't trust the Broncos?
22:33
Because. The Bo Nicks More trustworthy.
22:36
More trustworthy? Than Bo Nicks, absolutely.
22:39
Like I think he's proven that. And yeah, Bo Nicks has had some
22:43
great games. I don't trust him game in, game
22:46
out. I think it's kind of scary what
22:49
New England's building after what they did under Tom Brady.
22:53
A little bit to me with Rabel with.
22:56
Drake, Mike Rabel's The X Factor there, you know, he he comes in,
23:00
cleans it up and look what they're they they they turn
23:03
themselves into a two seed after being the worst team in football
23:06
for like the last two to three years.
23:07
Yeah. But.
23:10
No, I mean, I I don't care if they play the Texans or the
23:13
Steelers. I'm going Patriots.
23:14
And it's not surprising what Rabel's doing.
23:17
It's just after I picked them to get upset last week just because
23:19
I'm I was. Yeah, it's it's not surprising
23:22
what Rabel's doing there. I expected them to.
23:25
I thought he was going to do a great job and, and and make them
23:27
good. I just can't believe it.
23:29
He he happened in one year. It's like the signeti of NFL
23:33
football right now. Well, when when you get a head
23:36
coaching job, what is the most important thing?
23:41
Players. Well, and specifically.
23:44
Good players. Well, and and a quarterback.
23:47
And a quarterback, yes, you. You, you can't win in this
23:49
league if you don't have a quarterback.
23:52
And, and when you take a job, it's I mean, can you?
23:58
I mean, you look at Jacksonville like we we talked about Trevor
24:01
Lawrence going down that road of, you know, maybe he's going
24:04
down the road of two and, and falling apart and his career
24:07
might have been over and he gets Liam Cohen injected into his
24:10
veins and all of a sudden Jacksonville becomes.
24:13
Well, Neil, he's a, he's a former first overall pick.
24:16
I know that, but that mean people were ready to move on
24:21
from him. Yeah.
24:22
But I, I, I'm just saying like the most important position and
24:24
maybe of all sports is a quarterback.
24:26
It is. And when you take a job at a new
24:29
team and you go there and you've already got Drake May, who's got
24:34
a little bit over a half a year under his belt where he showed
24:36
promise, the that's that's a benefit.
24:40
But see, that's, that's the difference between Rabel and
24:42
Cohen is Rabel's going into to New England where Drake May's
24:45
only been there for he's still raw.
24:46
He's only been there for a year, maybe played 1/2 a year last
24:48
year because you're Kobe Brissette started and then you
24:52
got Liam Cohen, who's going into Trevor Lawrence, who's been in
24:54
the league now for what, 6 years?
24:56
I know. So what are you, what are we
24:57
arguing here? Is that you're talking about the
24:59
the key is having a good quarterback and New England has
25:02
it. I'm, I'm not sold that
25:03
Jacksonville had that good quarterback when Liam Cohen took
25:06
over. I'm not saying I'm not sold that
25:08
quarterback play is what made Jacksonville good.
25:11
Wait, I I think that's why I would give Liam Cohen the the
25:15
coach. That's that's the case.
25:17
That's why I think he should be coached.
25:18
He had to rebuild Trevor Lawrence's confidence.
25:21
Yeah. Because, you know, Trevor
25:23
Lawrence has the tools. He's got the tools.
25:26
Like he's already proven it. He's had good years.
25:28
He's already took the Jacksonville to the playoffs.
25:30
Yeah. I mean, you know, the kids Got
25:33
Talent and Liam Coleman was able to to build his confidence up
25:38
and that's why I don't remember their OCS name.
25:40
But he's getting looks for for head coach jobs.
25:43
He just interviewed with with Cleveland.
25:45
So that's why Liam Cohen, I think is the coach of the year.
25:49
But I mean, I just, I think it's scary kind of a little bit with
25:53
variables building there in New England And after seeing this
25:57
New England dynasty with Tom Brady for so many years and
26:01
being, I mean, a little bit happy that they're, they haven't
26:04
been good for the last, what, four or five years?
26:07
Yeah. And now it looks like they're
26:10
going to be around for a long time again.
26:11
I hate that.
