WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.840 All right, let's do a little football college and pro 2 00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.879 or Buddy, Max Chadwick staffs buy on a Wednesday. Max, 3 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.800 Happy Wednesday, Buddy. How were doing what you got doing well? Man? 4 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.560 Doing well? Appreciate the time. So let's do a little 5 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:13.679 Super Bowl first, and then we'll kind of move over 6 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.239 into some other things. I'm really surprised, Max, and I've 7 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.320 been every day that this line stays steady. Kansas City 8 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.719 opened up as a one point five point favorite, and 9 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.519 as of today, right now, it is still a one 10 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.079 point five point line. What's your thought on the spread 11 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:33.240 not moving for the highest wagered upon sporting event in 12 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:33.920 the world. 13 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.960 Yeah, it kind of makes sense. You know, I can 14 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.840 understand why Chiefs is still favored. I mean, I'm sure 15 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.799 nobody wants to bet against Patrick Mahomes and a considering 16 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.039 she's always pulled the rob down of the hat, you know, 17 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.240 in all these big games. But I am picking the Eagles. 18 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.159 I know I might regret it on Sunday night, but 19 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.840 I think the Eagles top to bottom the most talented 20 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.920 team in the NFL. I think the only question you 21 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.840 have is whether or not Jalen Hurts can just you know, 22 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.679 not screw it. Up enough because you look at it, 23 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.600 you got, say, Kwon Barkley, argue with the best running 24 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.879 back in the NFL, argue with the best offensive line 25 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.840 in the NFL, one of those receiving corps in the NFL, 26 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.319 and then probably the best defense in football as well. 27 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.760 So really it's just the one. The one thing is 28 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.519 Ken Jalen Hurts just not screwed up enough to allow 29 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.400 the rest of the team to win this game. And 30 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.319 I think he would, and I think I have the 31 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.079 confility to win, but I think it's gonna be a 32 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.040 razors in margin. I think that's why one and a 33 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:23.760 half points bread. 34 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.599 Yeah, And I picked Buffalo to beat Kansas City and 35 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.400 said before I signed off air, I fully anticipate sitting 36 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.400 on my couch and then the fourth quarter is shaking 37 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:34.799 my head and going what are you doing now? It 38 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.560 almost worked out, But I don't know, Max, Like, I'm 39 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.799 to the point now where I just feel like Andy Reid, 40 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.680 Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs always just figure 41 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.400 it out, you know what I mean. So I understand 42 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.480 your premise and I agree with you that Howie Roseman's 43 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.040 built the most talented roster and pro football I just 44 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.239 I feel like the Chiefs at this point have elevated 45 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.519 themselves in the same way Michael Jordan and the Bulls did. 46 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.239 Where those of us around here remember John Stockton and 47 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.799 Karl Malone and I was a child of the Knicks, 48 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.760 Patt you know, Patrick Ewing and those teams, and it 49 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.280 feels like they have that thing where they've just figured 50 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:07.719 it all out, if that makes sense. 51 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.759 Yeah. Again, like I said that, I don't blame for 52 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.800 saying that at all. I mean, they are that special. 53 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.840 And then that's why they're still a favorite right now, 54 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.120 because looking at it, they are pretty clearly the worst team. 55 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.680 The one thing I'll say is obviously they beat They 56 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.080 beat Buffalo, to beat Houston, I was a different animal. 57 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.080 I think Philadelphia is a much better team than honestly, 58 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.120 either of two of either of those guys. So I 59 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.800 think again the famous lost of words we gain it 60 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.280 with Patrick Mahomes and Super Bowl. But I do think 61 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.919 Philadelphia tops to bottom, is pretty clearly the best team 62 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:36.759 in football this year. 63 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.120 All right, fair enough, So you do a lot of 64 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.080 college football, little Senior Bowl action. We had some of 65 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.840 our local players at the Senior Bowl, name Lee Junior 66 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.319 Tafouna who from everything I've read and I watched the 67 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.599 Senior Bowl and Max, everything I've read, Junior seems to 68 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.960 have performed very well there. And then Kerennie Reid I 69 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.919 heard he left with a legue injury. You haven't heard 70 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.439 anything since he left the game, But talk about any 71 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:01.919 impression you had at the Senior Bowl from our two 72 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.439 local Utah players. 73 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:06.960 Yeah, I think Junie Tipuna was a guy that did 74 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.719 turn a lot of some heads. I think he was 75 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:10.080 a guy that you know, not a lot of people 76 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.960 knew about going into the Senior Bowl and then just 77 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.919 cool seeing him. And there's a couple other guys too, 78 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.159 kind of make a lot of people go back and 79 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:17.960 watch the tape on him. So yeah, and Judan Puna 80 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.719 definitely made himself some money at the Senior Bowl and 81 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.120 we'll see where he gets drafted in April. 82 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.159 Who else stood out to you as you give us 83 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.080 a couple of names since you were covering the Senior 84 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.159 Bowl that you think did themselves in favors? 85 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.039 Yeah, I think great is Abel, the offensive lineman for 86 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.080 North Dakota State, was phenomenal. He might end up being 87 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.680 a first round pick because of that Senior Bowl and 88 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.280 before everyone kind of had him as like a second 89 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.280 round pick. So that was a really good performance by him. 90 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.319 I thought he was really really good. Mike Green, the 91 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.639 edge rusher for Marshall, was phenomenal. He kind of showed 92 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.759 everyone like, hey I am I am absolutely a top 93 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.599 fifteen to twenty pick in then inful draft. And Shamar 94 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.000 Stewart another edge rusher from Texas A and m I 95 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.919 thought cemented himself as the as the first round the 96 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.759 first round pick as well. So I think those three 97 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.439 are there. There's some of the other guys that played 98 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.120 really well, but those three might have smessed themselves in 99 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:08.759 the first round picks because of the Senior Bowl. 100 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.240 Who do you like to go number one? Feels like 101 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.240 every draft at mock draft I read right now when 102 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.199 it comes to you know, guys that cover this thing 103 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.480 a duel Carter the rusher from Penn State. Who do 104 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.360 you think is off the board first for Tennessee? 105 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.639 Yeah. I don't think TENNSAE should take a non non 106 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.399 quarterback at number one. I don't think they should wun 107 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.000 back with Will Lovis. I think they need to take 108 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.720 a quarterback. I know it's not a great quarterback year 109 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.639 and there's the top guy this year, might have been 110 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.439 the fourth guy last year. But at the same time, 111 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.439 for Tennessee, I just think taking cam wardor Shoulder Standards 112 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.199 is probably the thing they have to do. So I 113 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.399 personally might after door Standards as QB one in this draft, 114 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.720 but I do think it'll be it'll be interesting to 115 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.399 see who they take a number one, and I think 116 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.879 cam Ward probably the betting favorite right now to be 117 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:55.920 the number one over one pick. 118 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.519 So what do you think the best fit would be 119 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.639 for the teams? During the mix? Ver should or Sanders 120 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.319 because the conversation is, of course, Dianna is his dad 121 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.680 and he'll get involved. And you know, we talked on 122 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.480 the show this week about historically speaking, when there are 123 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.120 quarterbacks who have elected to force their way out of 124 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.279 a certain situation, whether it's Eli Manning, John Elway, it 125 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.439 usually works out. Because you know, I'm a Jets fan. 126 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.120 We've talked to you about this in the past, and 127 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.199 I think Sam Darnold's really good and I don't know 128 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.120 if Zach Wilson was ever going to be really good. 129 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.439 But there's an argument to be made to be made 130 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.480 that if you're going to play quarterback in pro football, 131 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.879 you probably should start your career somewhere other than the 132 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.000 New York Jets. So, of the options for Shador, what 133 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.839 do you think is the most logical and best fit. 134 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.120 I don't know what the best fit. It seems like 135 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.439 he's pretty destined to be a New York Giant at 136 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.240 this point. Right now. I think they have to take 137 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.000 a quarterback. Brian Davil and Joe Shane. I mean, the owner, 138 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.199 John Mehrady came on so that he's running a patients 139 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.720 with both of them, and it is kind of now 140 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.000 or never for both of them. So they are taking 141 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.319 a quarterback and three. Either that or they're or they're 142 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.639 overpaying a lot for Gylex san Darnol, which is something 143 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.519 they want to do. So I think either Sanders Camboard 144 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.040 will be a Giant at the end of the day, 145 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.160 and it'll probably be Shore Sanders. So I don't know 146 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.279 a best fit. I mean, the other New York team, 147 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.399 the Jets, would be a nice fit with how good 148 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.480 the offensive line is and having Garrett Wilson there as well. 149 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.240 But I do think the other New York team, the Giants, 150 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.600 that's probably the most likely landing spot for Shore Sanders. 151 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.680 What about the Raiders with Pete Carroll and now Chiff Kelly. 152 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.560 If he's there at six, do the Raiders jump at him? 153 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.000 And do you think there's a chance he's even there 154 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:33.639 at six. 155 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.279 No, he will be there at six. They if they 156 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.160 are going to get either, he have to trade up 157 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:44.560 to the top two, probably with maybe Cleveland. Number two 158 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.759 overall is probably looking at trade down. I think that's 159 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.439 that's why I'd be looking if on the Raiders trade 160 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.319 up with uh yeah, that that could be definitely landing 161 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.519 spot as well. I think the Raiders should be interested, 162 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.759 and I know they have a close relationship with the 163 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.800 Sanders family, so I think that's definitelyn option if you know, 164 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.160 big dude trade up, but he will not get past 165 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:03.959 the Giants number three or grow all though a. 166 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.399 Lot of conversation about seismic NBA trades this week and 167 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.759 kind of lost in the shuffle as Miles Garrett wants 168 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.800 out of Cleveland. How does this end? Where do you 169 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:12.720 think he lands? 170 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.240 I don't know where he lands. I think there's a 171 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.399 few Super Bowl contenders I think that are very interested 172 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.279 in services. I think the Cowboys are a team that 173 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.319 I thought about. The Commanders have a lot of cash 174 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.040 Face and they desperately need help an edge rusher. It's 175 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.680 another team as well, The Lions could use another edge 176 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.360 opposite of Aiden Hutchinson. So this are some of the 177 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.360 teams I think about right now. But I definitely think 178 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.519 a team that's gonna want to be contending for a 179 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.759 super Bowl, the Death Teams Country trade. For Miles Garret, 180 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.240 it's not like he's gonna go to another team that 181 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.480 like the Browns or you know, kind of going through 182 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.040 it right now. He's gonna want to go play for 183 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.000 a team that's right in the cust of winning a ring. 184 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:49.600 That's all he really cares about, he said at this 185 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.680 point his career. So yeah, I think a team like 186 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.600 the Commanders or the Cowboys, the Lions, or so the Chargers, 187 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.399 maybe a team like that probably makes a lot of 188 00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:58.240 sense in my opinion. 189 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.639 Since it's been a little bit since we've had you on, 190 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.639 I do want to kick the tires on some storylines 191 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.120 that happened during the Conference championship game, and I referenced 192 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.040 I picked the Bills to be the Chiefs and obviously 193 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.800 that didn't work out. Now, of course, the hot media 194 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.399 button topic is will Josh Allen ever get that done, 195 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.480 Patrick Mahomes at the age of twenty nine. So where 196 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.000 are you at right now? Another year where we're looking 197 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.920 back on Josh Allen not getting it done in the playoffs. 198 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.920 It's the building to get done the playoffs. Josh Awen 199 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.759 has basically nothing to do with it. Honestly, their defense 200 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.039 was absolutely atrocious this year. I put almost zero blame 201 00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.000 on Josh Allen. I think anyone who puts any blame 202 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.320 on Josh Allen clearly honestly hasn't watch the Bills too 203 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:39.759 much this year. In my opinion, I mean, he was 204 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.039 superhuman for them. I don't think, listen, you've got nobody's 205 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.960 throw to either, honestly, I mean they the rest receiver 206 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.679 is Caluciak here by a mile, and even he is 207 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.120 like a good number two or number three receiver, right, 208 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.960 not number one. So yeah, Josh Allen has really nothing 209 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.799 to do with the problems in Buffalo. And I know, 210 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.279 you know, he's always that the biggest personality is always 211 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.759 the biggest player to look at in Buffalo. But their problems, 212 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.480 and just like they're the Baltimore Ravens problems, really have 213 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.240 nothing to do with the quarterback. In my opinion, so 214 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.279 I think anyone kind of blaming zam for not winning 215 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.559 a Super Bowl is being a little unfair in my opinion. 216 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.360 The last play where our guy, Dalton king K did 217 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.200 not catch that ball, and poor kid took a lot 218 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.360 of heat online and Dalton played his college ball here Utah. 219 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.000 And that's a tough catch to make, Max, as you 220 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.879 know now, dald would be the first to tell you 221 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.559 that he's got to make that catch. But how did 222 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.720 you digest that moment? What's fair to say about that 223 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.320 last play? 224 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:38.879 The last play was a brilliant play call by the segnolo. 225 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.200 I think that was all it was. Honestly, another of 226 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.240 some people that said, oh well, Josh Allen short of 227 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.440 thrown this ball or or Donald Coak sort of made 228 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.320 that unbelievable catch, like it's like due at the end 229 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.759 of the day, the best defensive coordinator in the NFL 230 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.519 made an unbelievable play call sitting in the house against 231 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.600 Josh Allen. That play, I mean, that play was due 232 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.840 for the start with Josh Allen immediately running for his life, honestly, 233 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.159 with that blitz coming. So I I honestly, more than 234 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.200 anything else, I just credit see Sagnola the Chiefs defensive 235 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.879 coordinator for calling a perfectly time blitz on the biggest 236 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.000 play of the game right there to be more than 237 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.440 anything else, more than Dalkoncaid maybe dropping the ball or 238 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.759 Josh Allen maybe not throwing it to the right guy. 239 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.759 That to me, is just a brilliant, brilliant play call. 240 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:21.639 BIA sees like Nolan, I think it's all really was 241 00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.200 in my opinion. 242 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.519 I don't know what your opinion was on Jayden Daniels 243 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.840 to start the year, but I'm certainly interested in your 244 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.159 opinion on what happened all year long, and if you're 245 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.000 a Commander's fan, why you should be excited for the 246 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.240 next decade plus. I mean, I didn't think that they 247 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.639 would get smoked, but I thought Philly would beat them. 248 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.759 I mean that would be an insane accomplishment as a 249 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.919 rookie quarterback to actually get that done. I mean, he's 250 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.919 ahead of schedule anyway, but I'm not sure how many 251 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.360 people thought they'd be in a Super Bowl. So your 252 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.759 opinion Year one, Washington, Jadeen Daniels incredible. 253 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.799 He played like a top five quarterback in the NFL 254 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.279 as a rookie, which is incredibly rare. If you get 255 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.240 league average play from a rookie quarterback year doing something right, 256 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.440 and you played like a top five quarterback in so 257 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.639 I mean c J. Sholl was great last year, he 258 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:04.919 shall still wasn't as good as what Jane Daniels was 259 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.519 this past season. So he was phenomenal. And it's crazy. 260 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.200 I mean you mentioned being ahead of schedule. The Commanders, 261 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.440 outside of Jayan Daniels, they're a pretty flawed football team. 262 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.360 I mean, really, you look at their defense, it's one 263 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.960 of the worst defenses in football. Their offensive line is 264 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.360 one of the worst offensive lines in football. They've got 265 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.799 basically nothing at wide receiver outside of Terry McLaurin. Really, 266 00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.840 it was just a magical year headlined by an incredible 267 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.200 rookie quarterback and Jayden Daniels. Then you know, when you 268 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.840 have a superstar quarterback like the Chiefs do with Patrick Mahomes, 269 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.399 like the Commanders do with Jayan Daniels, like the Bills 270 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.039 do with Josh Allen, that can mask a lot of 271 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.639 problems with your football team. And Buffalo had a lot 272 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.039 of problems with their team. The Commanders, like I just said, 273 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.440 had a lot of problems with their team. Chiefs are 274 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.120 going for a three peat. They have a lot of 275 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.080 problems with their offense as well, outside of Mahomes. When 276 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.559 you have the quarterback, anything's possible. And the commanders that 277 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.679 think have that kind of quarterback. And it's gonna be 278 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.559 exciting to see what happens for the next decade plus. 279 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.600 You know that I'm going to ask you about the Jets, 280 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.879 So tell me why I should feel confident and what 281 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.759 do they do this offseason to at least show the 282 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.639 fan base that they're going in the right direction. 283 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.799 Yeah, it's gonna be fascinating what happens to the quarterback, whether 284 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.000 or not Aaron Rodgers comes back for another year, even 285 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.240 if they want Aaron Rodgers to come back for another year, 286 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.879 or maybe they try to trade up to get Tudor Sanders, 287 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.759 or maybe Aaron Rodgers retires. They'd also don't trance get 288 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.679 a quarterback, and maybe they can go with Tyrod Taylor 289 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.759 for a year quarterback and really tank and then maybe 290 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.639 get an Archer Banding or somebody in twenty twenty six. 291 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.879 So it's gonna be fascinating. I think Aaron Glad's a 292 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.879 good culture guys, a good leader, and I think they 293 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.279 need that a cultural reset in New York because it 294 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.159 was just it was a disast year that this passing 295 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.399 is kind of really like a circus. So I think 296 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:43.840 he'll be a good guy to kind of reset the 297 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.240 culture there and hopefully fix the defense that was very 298 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.519 underperforming last year. I mean, the Chess defense is one 299 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.600 of the most towns defense in the NFL, yet they 300 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:53.360 played like one of the ten worst defenses in the 301 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.039 NFL last year, So he's probably trying to fix that 302 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.080 defense and reset the culture. I don't know if they're 303 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.200 gonna be competitive next year. I mean, they might try 304 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.600 to bottom out and get a quarterback in future and 305 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.879 what should be a better quarterback class next year. But 306 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.240 I am excited to see what Aaron Glyn would do 307 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.000 down there in New York. 308 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.679 So we are a sad football show because I am 309 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.600 a Jets fan and my producer is a Cowboys fan, 310 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.840 and Brian Schottenneimer is brought in now to run the 311 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.759 Dallas Cowboys and you know they're married to Dak obviously, 312 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.240 But what does next year look like for Dallas And 313 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.879 what are your thoughts on this higher It felt like 314 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.600 Jerry just waited way too long, And I don't know, man, 315 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.480 I've always been of the opinion as long as he's 316 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.919 going on the team, I'm not sure they're ever going 317 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.080 to get back to relevance. But what's your what are 318 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.000 your thoughts on the recent happenings down in Dallas. 319 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.480 I did not love to hire either. In fact, I 320 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:44.720 don't even think this is the first choice for Dallas. 321 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.679 I thought from all the reports that came out, it 322 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.879 sounded like they wanted Mike McCarthy back on a three 323 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.240 year deal. McCarthy only wanted to come back on a 324 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.000 five year deal and neither side a budget on that, 325 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.759 and obviously just he ended up walking, And I think 326 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.919 Jerry didn't want to completely reset, so what he did 327 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.360 was promote the offensive coordinator to head coach. So I 328 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.799 don't know seaneyern has been in OC for a very 329 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.000 long time. In fact, he's the offensive coordator all the 330 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.240 way back to two thousand and six with the New 331 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.279 York Jets, so this is kind of a long time 332 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.360 coming for him. He's never been a terrific offensive coordinator, 333 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.320 in my opinion, has always been like an average to 334 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.440 below average one. So again I was kind of uninspired 335 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.440 by the higher I didn't like it really at all. 336 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:29.840 They have a lot of talent on that team though, 337 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.159 right Dak Prescott's the top ten quarterback in the NFL. 338 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.759 See lands a superstar. Michael Parsons is a superstar. Problem is, though, 339 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.519 as thought, of those three players, they're very they're very 340 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.600 top heavy, They're very aligant to those three guys. So 341 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:42.679 they got to help build out the depth of that roster. 342 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.279 But there is a lot to work with. You know, 343 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.840 if any team that changed coaches this year, Dak Prescott 344 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.320 pretty easily or at least in my opinion, the best 345 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.799 one out of any of those teams. So I think 346 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.240 he's the best quarterback of any teams have changed coaches. 347 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.200 So I think you've got some things to work with. 348 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.759 But I'm with you, but the the Brian Schottenheimer higher 349 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.279 was pretty easily the most uninspiring one of the cycle 350 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:05.799 in my opinion. 351 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.399 Any of us who watched football, no football, cover football 352 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.279 probably knows a Detroit Lions fan. And we are the 353 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:16.039 home of an NBA team that's been in operation for 354 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.679 fifty years without ever winning the championship. So I was 355 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:20.600 kind of cheered for cities that have been suffering for 356 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.720 a long time. My question Max to you was simple. 357 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.120 Is that window still open? It felt like this was 358 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:25.559 their year. 359 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.399 Yeah, it's open. They're still extremely talented. That that's a 360 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.960 big thing. Their defense would be healthy next year. Adian 361 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.120 Hutchinson moved back and he looked like a defensive Player 362 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.120 of the Year candidate. The problem was, you lose two 363 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.639 superstar coordinators, and Ben Johnson, who's maybe the most hyped 364 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:46.440 coordinator to head coach higher I can remember in my lifetime, 365 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.039 and then Aaron Glenn who really may do with what 366 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.679 was a lot of injuries on that defense past year 367 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:55.320 and they kind of, you know, just went the storm 368 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.600 because of it. So you lose both those guys, I 369 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.919 think it'll be a little bit more reset and destroy. 370 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.480 I kind of remember a couple of years ago when 371 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:07.000 when Philadelphia lost both their coordinators, Shane Styken and Jonathan 372 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.919 Gannon to head coaching jobs, and they took like a year, right, 373 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.679 it took a year. They lost in the wild card round. 374 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.399 It took a year kind of reset, And here they 375 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.559 are a year later because of how good their GM 376 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.320 is and how good their head coaches and how good 377 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.600 the roster overall is, honestly, and they're back here in 378 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.960 the Super Bowl again. It might take some time for 379 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.440 Deshort like that. I don't know if we'll bet in 380 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.639 the Super Bowl two years from now, but it might 381 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.600 take a little bit of time for them to fully 382 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.960 reset with the two new coordinators. So yeah, it's definitely 383 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.879 felt like the year for them this year with their 384 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.600 best REGUS record of all time. But I still think 385 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.279 it's a team that's absolutely still on of the most 386 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.360 towns teams in the NFL. And anytime you have some 387 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.279 of the best talent in the NFL, no matter who 388 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.320 you was coaching your team, you always have a shot. 389 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.559 Ben Johnson goes to Chicago. What does that mean for 390 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.879 Caleb And do you like the decision because it felt 391 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.919 like Ben had his choice of where he could go 392 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.679 based off of how much interest there was in him. 393 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.320 Yeah, I like it. I'm not sure if that was 394 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.360 his first choice. I think that Jacksonville is a team 395 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.839 that he really was looking at, and then Trent Balke 396 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.240 being there was the reason why he didn't want that job. 397 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.319 And ob see, Trent Pualke eventually got fired when they 398 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.920 realized that they couldn't even get any you know, half 399 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.680 decent candidate. If Trent Bulky was still employed by Jaguars, 400 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.200 So I think, yeah, I think him going to Chicago's awesome. Though. 401 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.759
