I think Brady kind of nailed it at the end of his game saying some good some bad that's early season NFL and sure you could apply that to multiple weeks but I think their bad is is noticeable when when you're like okay there's just not in sync right now. But the biggest game that we were all really excited about was a rematch between Buffalo and Houston where the last time Josh Allen played at Houston he was sacked eight times. That part of it was masterful. We can get to personnel and all that kind of decisions there. But kind of the headline for me Nate on this one is that I think both teams should kind of feel good considering the standard that both these teams are out in the AFC and look Houston doesn't want to lose that game but I think both these teams should feel really good about themselves. I think so too and even even if you look at how the Texas defense performed which is kind of you know I consider them going into the season they are my preseason top defense which is arbitrary rankings for the summer but they were and they held a Bill's run game that's really good over the last couple of years to a low success rate 30% and if you saw that you'd be like well that Texas dominated right and then there's this you know dragon playing quarterback named Josh Allen who who was just launching stuff and I really I'm right there with you where I agreed that I think both teams feel good we can get Texas offense in a sec but was really encouraging to me at least from the Bill's offense was okay we're going against the Texans really Anderson to Neil Hunter they got waves of pass rushers they got so much speed was the scheme was really good as far as just the changing the launch point changing the protections they had a lot of multiple protections not just the same play action protection over and over they're moving Josh Allen left moving him right half rolls full rolls front side rolls straight drop backs and that is how that's thoughtful game plan that's not just yeah there's moments where it's like hey Josh Allen goes go make us right the rushing touch down the two-minute drill he kind of created his own luck he had the Dalton concade and the DJ Moore one they squeezed in but you know with aggression you get rewarded like fortune favors the bold especially a quarterback and so I I'm right there with you this was the fifth highest passing success rate allowed by a Texans defense under Demiko Ryan's which is ridiculous in the first half it was 77% anything above like 48% good so 77% against a defense that I think everybody in the world has as at the very least as a top three defense so I think the bills are extremely happy with how their offense performed especially with a run game not getting going the defense was the defense doesn't have horses but they did enough I thought that the bills defense but that's what I expected before the season is exactly kind of what I expected I want to see how Jim Leonard works with this group as the season goes along and then yeah we can talk about the Texas offense to and take what they did as well but when Josh Allen's throwing the ball over the middle he's not really taking any negative plays or the offense not taking negative place and he's averaging over 13 yards per dropback that's a pretty good day at the office and that's not saying that the Texans play poor at all no I'm glad you brought up with this meant for Demiko's Marines defense because I was looking at the numbers today like this is as out of character as it could possibly get but it's also because Allen because the craziest thing and it happened on the last touchdown drive it's like perfect perfect like that that drive is a perfect a perfect I should say representation of what it is with Allen because I feel like whenever I watch a bills game like every set of downs is bad play may play oh my god I can't believe you did that play and then it's like okay first down let's do this all over again so it's not that the play to play consistency is there they only ran 50 plays because they were hitting on so many of these bigger plays now speaking of bigger we love 13 personnel on this podcast and we make that as a joke because it felt like once the Rams were in 13 personnel then every smart person was like all 13 personnel 13 people couldn't stop talking about 13 personnel however it is relevant there was something happening here if you look at if you look at the 12 personnel is 52% of the snaps it was 13% 13 personnel it's 36% of the snaps that is this that's more than double I think any 13 personnel grouping for Allen in a game keep big people on the field it frees up can cade big people on the field means they can cade and the Titans can work against somebody else maybe it means you know DJ Moore ends up going off so somebody that understands is certainly better than I do they do you look at this is a Houston specific game plan because it definitely worked by quieting down the edge guys and having these big players in there but keeping bigger players out there on defense like is this something you think the bills wanted to do all season or they wanted to do against Houston it's a little bit what to do against Houston because then you get Joe and Petri off the field who's a dynamic player awesome but the the overall thing though is is that they have the ability to pivot it's just like basketball playoffs like hey we have a matchup this ninth guy under bench is actually really relevant in this game this extra big that we have is relevant in this game because of the matchup we need rebounding we need size yada yada that's really what it is is that those games that they need to lean into it like they did here that they can do and it's valid and the thing about the 13 personnel it's not just a magic wand like even the under center talk right now I'm already going to know it about because it's not a magic wand you look at the commanders and frickin Eagles they're horrible passing the ball out under center yesterday but if it's not just a magic wand you need the actual horses to do it like Jackson Hawes who's their second year player is a day three pick last year they need a guy that can hold up in line but you also need a tight end that can attack vertically the ramps can do it because they have Terrence Ferguson who can attack vertically yes he wasn't like getting a lot of yards and everything but you need the threat and to create space in the whole offense it's you need shooters like that's what a receiving tight end is that's what can Kate is so they would get to 13 personnel and it's the variety of looks that you can get out of it you can make 13 look like 12 you can make 13 look like 11 but again you just need to have those horses you can have 13 look like 21 like the bears will do that a lot where it's like oh they're making it look like an eye formation look but I think that's what's nice is they actually have those guys and can Kate can be a matchup issue if you're going against a team that has those guys that you can pick apart and that's really what the Texans defense yeah those were they what they identify within get after they have a couple weaker guys and coverage up the spine at linebacker and safety and if you just get him outside can Kate has enough speed to attack vertically and you you felt that and yeah even the final touchdown to Josh Palmer which wasn't 13 was 11 I think I'm trying to figure out what the deep safety was doing on that play came a bullet was like cheated over all the way past the hash and it was a man coverage play where it's bizarre because last year the corner was like playing inside leverage it was man I I can get into that too while he was doing it.
but he gets beat inside, but it was weird to me. Was it because Kinkade was just owning them and sort of safety was expecting the catch Kinkade? But again, that creates gravity. If you have a tight end that can actually stretch the seam and do that, they have to honor 'em. So really that's what it is. You have to be valid to honor. If you have a bunch of non-blocking tight ends, all right, we'll just match you with nickel. We'll just match you with dime and just play. All right, cool, all right, you wanna run the ball. You're not gonna be able to block the edge, but these guys can all block the edge or attack vertically. So again, it's that ability to pivot and do that. Kinkade, who I love coming out, all right, and this is, we saw some stuff his rookie year based out with injuries. What's that? He's a Vegas guy. Well, he went to San Diego or he went to different schools, but he was, or Utah at the end, but he's from Vegas right down the road from it. Look, those of us that watched him at Utah, you were like, I think this guy has a chance to be nasty and it granted the injury stuff has played a big part of this, but he played in 73% of the snaps in this game. He was at 37% of the snaps for games in 24%, 39% last year, 130 yards receiving the most by Bill's tight ends since 1967. And when I think about the bigger personnel, keeping bigger people in the field, the thing is he would get stingly one-on-one win. He would get lesser one-on-one. So even if you were like, well, we don't wanna just have some linebacker trying to run with this guy because that's gonna be a disaster. We're talking about terrific players in the secondary where there's just not much you can do. It's like the old grok thing. I'm not calling him grok, but you would have these match-up ideas with grok and he'd be like, okay, all of this just doesn't work. Like none of it really works because he's that kind of freak. I don't know if in case it's gonna be that, but if this is more like the guy we saw his rookie year, I think it changes a lot for who Buffalo can be. Yeah. And I'm sorry, his weakness, he's not a great blocker, but Joe Brady, I'll give him credit, he knows that. So he's not going, hey, blocked and you'll hunter head up. You know, hold that, that's why the loved ones of the world are like the real Tucker Crafts of the world are like the real dudes, so they run RPOs. So all right, if he's on the field, we'll just run an RPO. He doesn't have to block. So he just runs a flat round. He just runs a slant. It's when he's attached in line or he's on the back side of a run and the bills have showed way to kind of mitigate that as well. So again, it takes some thoughtfulness where guys maybe have a weakness like that, but it was encouraging that Brady is not just gonna go like, we're challenging you this year to block. He's like, all right, you're not good at it. All right, let's just, you know, we can wave this way and you can do other things. Houston's offense, I actually felt good about, I think the crossers, a lot of stuff was kind of, if we wanted to turn this at all negatively about the bills you go, I don't know how many of those guys back there can cover. Reminding me a little bit of Ignodson, his junior at Ohio State, where he just felt like he's getting a flag one and a half like everything. I think he ended up depending on the count. It was like 14 penalties for him his junior year. He cleaned it up his senior year 'cause I remember people talking about him and his junior, I'm like, this guy's, this is not it. And then he was terrific, okay? And then I don't even know how many snaps he played. They're talking about platooning the other corner on the side for Buffalo and it was just kind of reminding me of like when it gets bad for him, it's just like I'm just start grabbing everybody all over the place and they can't call them all. But it felt like on some of the crosser stuff that they were doing maybe later in the game too. It's like they once these guys turn on any of these routes, like this is gonna be open in the middle of feel for stroud. And you know, it's another reason why granted they needed the touch on the end of the pole this whole thing out. I still felt good about the old line. I felt good about a rushing standard there where it was at least something you had to respect throughout the entire game. And I know there's still down one receiver on top of everything else, but maybe it's just the floor was so low for stroud, it was like, hey, it was all right. And this is good and with this defense, if that's the kind of stroud game that you're going to get, they're still going to win a ton of games this year. - Yes, I agree. Bills are a good team. Well, those are two good teams going at it. No, this was very encouraging for me and even more encouraging upon review. It was a lot of good, like a lot of good stroud through some darts yesterday, like some real deal high end throws. Like the double move to Nico Collins on the second drive, that was, that's a hard throw 'cause you got to get it up and down and that's what stroud can do when he's feeling it. And he scrambled a few times, which is always something you kind of have to pull out of him 'cause he wants to win from the pocket. He was stepping up, he had developed a bad habit of moving backwards, some quarterbacks to get away with that during love. Stroud though has shown that step up, step up, step up. Underlying numbers were strong. I thought the run game was really encouraging. You know, I thought the variety that they had in the run game success rate wise, they were both high, 48% and everything. Overall, 48% rushing, 48% passing, that's a good day at the office. It was just sandwiched by two strip sex. One was just Trent Brown lost. And the first one was, you know, Stroud just kind of got stripped. And that's one thing, he's not the strongest, biggest dude back there and that can happen. But I really was, I'm right there with you. I was encouraged by how this played out. This is why I'm high on Houston. It doesn't have to be a top five elite offense. But if it can play like this, against a Bill's defense that's not great. But again, that's how this team, this is the formula of this team. Running the ball, seeing that is more encouraging than anything Stroud does. I know what Stroud's high end play is. It's just the variety in the run game, the soundness in the run game, really only Trent Ingram. I thought it had a rougher game, maybe in Passbro, Trent Ingram, Ed Ingram, at Wright Guard was maybe the weak point, which I've always, I knew. You know, that's not a new surprise, but the run game was so encouraging and they had 10 explosive plays. That's good. And Nico Collins, of course, is the focal point. But everyone kind of contributed. You saw some rolling climb in there that Rookie tied in on Michigan. Keishan Booty had the one catch, which was nice, and he got sought off. But you know, it's encouraging that the other guys got involved in big moments too. It wasn't just Nico, but Nico, of course, is gonna be the focal point. He's a, Nico's a top five receiver. It's just that he's got stay healthy. So that's, if you have an ace like that, then the other guys are again, valid enough that the team wants to run zone, which is what the, what the bills did. By the way, I thought Leonard might lean into more man coverage, but I think he knows what he's got. So it was a lot of quarters, a lot of quarters. And all right, if we're gonna play quarters, we need other guys to kind of step up underneath over the middle. So that's probably why he saw some of those throws work end up working over the middle. If you notice there was a lot of outside to Nico, or kind of the other guys over the middle, makes sense because that's how usually attack quarters. You take a one-on-one, or if you don't like the one-on-one, or the cloud over the top, okay, then I work the other side. So again, long story short, encouraging, and kind of what I expected. I thought this game would be a bar and burner, and it absolutely was. Green Bay, another blown lead. Here's a number for you from like Sando. Since week one of the 25 season, Green Bay is seven and five, with nine or more point leads in the second half. So here's the scenario again. With a lead of nine or more points in the second half, Green Bay since the start of last season is seven and five. That's a 58% winning percentage. The rest of the NFL is winning 90% of those games. - I was gonna say. - Yeah. - This is, that's, and you know, the last time we saw you guys, it was a massive collapse to one Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter in the playoffs. So I think an easy thing to do is to look at the fourth down decision. It's fourth and sixth. They line up for the field goal. They're just outside of the red zone, I think. I think it was like the 23 yard line or something like that. They line up, they get the field goal, but it's still only gonna put them up 25, 17. After finally Minnesota getting a touchdown, right? So they go to fourth and one, they run the QB sneak, they get stopped. I don't know how much you've seen it. I think smarter people realize like, the move is the QB sneak with Jordan Love in that spot and fourth and one, you're at the 17. Look for the touchdown, put this thing away. The problem is, is that is like this defining moment of the timeline of the game, where then Minnesota scores three touchdowns in two and a half minutes. One is a nice drive off of that failed fourth down attempt and then there's the fumble. Then there's interception where Green Bay's giving it to him with I think 15 yards of total offense on those last 14 points. So there is a trend here with Green Bay not being able to hang onto any of these leads. This felt like just chaos. I don't, but I can't blame the fourth down decision of taking the three points off the board and then going for on fourth and one, as opposed to the field goal on fourth and sixth. - It's, it's, it's new age. You know, that's the old adage. You know, you'd ever take points off the board but it's a new age and also, even if he's not saying by the way. - I hate to take points off the parlor 6 thing 'cause everybody wants the car, here's my guy. I have so many parcelsisms that I don't like, but go ahead. - Well, the problem was everybody tried to copy him for like 20 years. If you're not bill par cells, like, you know, stop trying to act like him. I'm sorry, it's a, you know, like the guy that's like actually the most parcellsy and is like Sean Peyton, which is no one would consider as like a real parcells guy. I mean, he is, but it's the kind of that. But I digress, you know, the other thing too is the Packers will use Tucker Kraft as a QB sneak guy. So I was actually surprised that they didn't kind of pull that trigger maybe because of his injury. Working back from that, I'm not sure. I was not disappointed in the decision. Go for it. I be aggressive, be be aggressive. Like, you got to trust your defense against a backup quarterback named Carson Wentz. Like, if you don't trust him here, when are you gonna trust him? I think the issue with the Packers, and I did not, I've been high on the Packers the last two years, but not this year because I, again, I use this terminal. I don't have the horses. They have issues at all line. They have issues at corner and they can't rush the passer. Think you need a couple of those things to be a real valid team and put games away.
And I it showed up in this game like they had the Viking stifled so throughout but unless they were blitzing and Jonathan Ganon blitzed more than he had Like I think it was the second highest blitz rate for him as a play caller It's like they can't generate a pass route. If they don't you got Justin Jefferson Duncan on guys So I really do think that I find with the Packers being aggressive and just trying to get like hey, let's get out of this game And just like you know put it away So I'm not mad at that at all. I'm more mad at I wouldn't say mad But the Packers online fell apart because it's a bunch of backups. They're rotating guys Like Packers are like a high school team sometimes they'll rotate tackles and rotate guards even when they are healthy They've done that for a few years. Packers do their own thing with everything. We don't play rookies It's like this must be nice not having an owner But they really just kind of like Seriously, they can just get away. They've no media never asked some hard questions. They it's it's kind of nice there It's not bad living But really the old line you could see the trickle down effect in the second half like so of course Brian four is blitzers We've seen all the blitz stats high one eyes blitz rates in the last seven years what yada yada yada the first half second half though First half Jordan love 8 for 16 180 nine yards two touchdowns against the blitz That's great. Gash or be gash go for it. That's how you want to attack the blitz second half You took four sacks and had a pick against the blitz and you could see on those you know that last driver it all fell apart The right guard right tackle and the tight end are getting off the ball late They're on the road. It's backups. They're on a silent count There's no communication happening and because it's on a silent count Those guys have to look in and their heads are already spinning because they're going against flores So they're looking in and then they're waiting with their eyes and so the bikers are just teeing off on that That's why the first half felt like that was because there's no crowd noise You know in us bank. It's loud So the second half that crowd's going nuts and they have to look inside they have to look inside and then it's like all right All right, where's my assignment? Okay. Okay. I'm right here. I'm the linebacker right here. Okay. I'm looking oh shoot the ball snap and then there's Downs Turner are you up the field? It was just a it was a trickle-down effect. I'm like Jordan loves you have a purple heart Like yeah, you don't seem down on Jordan love it all with this one and it's it's like all right When he gets manhandled it's super embarrassing and then it's like do I not have the ball anymore like that Play was one of those plays. You're like what the hell's going on here? Yeah, but you're physically going to get bullied No matter what unless you're like Josh Allen or Cam Newton in that spot anyway, so that leads to the one-yard touchdown when he throws The pick my favorite thing on the James Pierre pick is that Harrison Smith is so mad that he drops it He stays on the ground and he's so mad friend of the show Harrison Smith who I think I'm supposed to reach out to his brother To finally I that's on me to Harrison Smith's brother by the way we were supposed to have on the pot I don't know what happened. I'm pretty sure it was my fault But he's so mad and it's like well actually no this is gonna work out here because there was a play I forget if it was a second or a third and 28 were Jordan moves up in the pocket and Changes his throwing platform and just absolutely delivers and I watched it and I rewound it I went this is why he got paid this is why because I think it's very easy because of how embarrassing this collapses and this pattern of Yesterday last time they played the Bears they were up 21 3 1/2 they were up 21 6 to the end of the third quarter They were up week 16 to get Chicago 13 3 late in that third quarter as well and there's these NFC North games Where you're going why is this now happening like I thought that was kind of this outlier weird thing We're barely over 500 on these games where you have these huge leads in the second half and now we're not winning any of these anymore and you feel like If you're doing hey Jordan love dot dot dot on Monday that that's completely missing the story of yesterday's game He he watched the he plays against Brian Flores how you're supposed to play like you're supposed to stand in there and deliver and Try shit and he's doing that left or he threw from every possible platform Like you straight upright, you know 10 degrees 20 degrees like he's just he threw from every possible platform one foot no feet It was it's exactly how you're supposed to play and they had no run game It's you know, it's Chris Brooks. Who's a protection back and special teamer and then more Sean Lloyd who's had like 150 carries since high school or Including high school and who's kind of like a bouncy guy more a zone guy and then the old wines a bunch of backups and hurt players as well Zach Tom he changed his name but he's Zach Tom to me is probably one of their better off in slime and he's banged up You know, and he got he got the fumble or whatever and they like land He like caught it and then he got sought off. He's probably like I'm I didn't want that, you know Yeah, right. I'm against the ball and he gets hit as he's already heard. He's probably like that sucked Jordan love got pressured half his dropbacks 50 not blitz Pressured where he got pressured 50% of his dropbacks anything above You know 25% 28% crazy in his double that and he usually doesn't take sacks That's the thing about Jordan love. He creates big plays and he doesn't take sacks. That is a formula He's a locked in to me. It's like it's eat is the floor over looking like top-time rankings That's where I have Jordan love I own and it's only going higher But it's just one of those things where it's like it's a tough match up and they just don't have a lot of dudes right now The other headline from this one Kyler Murray who I say he doesn't get he doesn't get dinged. He gets injured Like there are plays and even on that play like starts the game disaster interception You know, like this isn't fun. It felt a lot like Texas Ohio State in a way And then he gets crunched on this play where he had no chance of getting the first down. I didn't think No, and it was a very Kyler's because you actually didn't know what was wrong until it went a little bit longer You're like, okay, it's probably a head injury here, but even the announcer. I think on the broadcast It said oh he's holding that left leg. I mean he's holding that left leg and I mean this is not to be critical of him But it's just the reality that he he pays a way bigger price on these NFL hits than I think anyone else playing the position and Yep, it's unfortunate. We'll see what happens once he gets clear But I don't know if this opens up the door for JJ to get reps in here again unless you thought you like we saw from once You got the three touchdowns, but it I wouldn't say it was like a pretty game from Carson in relief. Oh, no Even the touchdown to Jefferson was hilarious because there was a free play and so they just ran all goes and When's has it so usually you're just looking and then launch it. Okay. I got free play He gets it and then I'm just saying this is how when's his head was spinning He looks and he's like he looks to his right and he's like, oh shoot. That's Jordan Addison Oh, where's Justin at okay? He goes all the way back to his left. He wasn't looking off of safety He was trying to find number 18, which I thought was here Yeah, when's was I'm not the biggest when's fan he takes too many hits. It's like his his play style is not the best city Chuck was the roughing the passer, which was bullshit. Yeah, because I mean look there was the took a charge There was three penalties on that drive two of my thought were totally justified But that third down on the roughing the passer was brutal. So you know, that's another part of it It's not really a score thing because the thing gets so out of hand, but We'll see what happens there within the sort of the quarterback position the pick the pick was interesting to with a Kyler Was that that was a great example. They were in five-man protection and empty protection and what the right guard will fries has to It's called squeeze. So he has to work inside and then the right tackle has to keep squeezing So it was a great example of like five-man protection sometimes if you blitz it which Johnson John thing in it did That the free runner you're gonna allow a free runner against a blitz when you have five-man protection But it's physics you want the longest path to the quarterback So you don't want the a gap or to to be the guy clean you want the furthest guy So it should have been the right outside guy So that's why Kyler was like oh shit and then should not do what he did You know like again, Jordan love doing that. It's different than Kyler doing that Jordan love has one of the best arms in the NFL. Kyler has a good arm That's the difference between the lead arm and good and I really did think that that was one of those Where it was like a trickle down the stuff and he's not the guy to kind of like stop that trickle down if that makes sense like The other guys make mistakes he that's where he waivers. Jordan love other guys make mistakes There's times that he can overcome that that's the difference of those tears of quarterbacks There's something for everyone when it comes to Reese's now we all understand the standard right Two peanut butter comes one for me one for you likely two for me None for you or maybe you just don't get buried and there's always gonna be two for you and you don't even really have to have that discussion What I would tell you though is there's this this thing that'll happen with the miniatures where you're like I'm not really doing anything. I'm just having miniatures. It's not that big of a deal But then there's something about having the two to your name or it's like I'm in full control I know exactly what the plan is I'm having these two and then I'm good miniatures There isn't really any plan you can do whatever you want no one's even looking whether it's fast break or take five or outrageous Fast breaks kind of crazy fast break I'll even have days and like can I do this today - the problem is it's also tempting because we know how great that relationship with peanut butter tastes It is Something that you look forward to when it's hanging out. I've got one my kitchen right now staring me down Just staring me down for three days and much like On a third down where I'm scanning the field trying to recognize where the pressure's coming from I have no idea what's gonna happen I don't really know what the result's gonna be on that drop back quarterback still when I drop back into the kitchen I know I have nothing to fear only reward pure enjoyment Reese's the official candy partner of our store sports go get Reese's wherever you shop Okay, Baltimore I'm gonna include this one in here because there was a lot of anticipation Intitupation with mentor as they had coach now we had some under-center numbers for you here Early downs week one the highest under-center rate that we had was still another game to go here since 20 cents.
17 Lamar under center just over 50% the highest of his career fire in six yards of offense Lamar Would I actually loved about this domination was that he didn't feel like I don't want to see him Not be this running threat that freaks everybody out It's just the way this game goes that eventually those numbers continue to go down his are going down last year was Disappointing you could save the injuries, which is always a little bit of a part of it like the guys that are injured that are playing But it wasn't really it was an absurd offensive output here But it wasn't necessarily because Lamar was back to peak Lamar running. I mean, it's seven for 40, but that's take out What 19 yards on that one run and it six runs for like 21 yards So this was a contained Lamar where they still were this dynamic and as you said the under center thing doesn't fix everything for everyone It just happens to be one of those things that everybody was talking about and it certainly played out week one Yeah, and it was very encouraging. I thought I've mentioned before but Dwayne led for their offensive line coach. I'm a big fan of what he did in Atlanta was really cool Like he had a really interesting designs and that carried over And also the Mars like the the the variables were like with the formula for the more running is Changing where it was he used to get about seven or eight design runs again And now it's just one or two that you sprinkle in in high leverage situations and high leverage meaning late down Third and short short yardage or in the low red zone like his rushing touchdown You don't want to build the whole plan of Lamar on design runs anymore. You just want to sprinkle man That's exactly where the whole league is going But it was like that that touchdown that rushing touchdown Derek Henry's first touchdown that it's the good stuff like that's why I'm very encouraged by what I saw Like they almost average eight yards of play 7.9 yards per play Lamar average 12.2 net yards per attempt So net yards are includes sack yardage there and they actually pulled the urban Meyer They had 200 yards rushing 200 yards passing like Urban Meyer said when he came to Jaguars that he wanted to average that and and everybody in the NFL is like 200 rushing Have you have you watching NFL game like 100 is great is a great day at the office. So they actually pulled the urban But no, he only got stacked twice, but he didn't get hit other than that He had the long scramble on third down, but that's a perfect time to scramble third next to long because that's usually the actually the best play But that design run was cool. They was a it's what they call zone read arc Where you're reading the defense. They really attacked Arden key for the Colts the first play they attacked him on the bootleg They ran it to his side. He crashed on the running back Lamar Scott free goes as a flowers and then on that play The zone read arc is one of those where if you run a zone read you're in defensive end Everybody knows that read the defensive end. He crashes on the run back quarterback keeps it Defences got smart. They run this thing called scrape exchange, which is where defense and crashes into the linebacker Scrapes over the top the exchange duties to then take their quarterback that has been Going off for years now especially in college But the arc and this is the tight end usage in this run game is really really cool The arc block is then the guy in the backfield then leads for the quarterback if he keeps it for that scrape guy They didn't need it on that play But that was really cool to me to kind of like see this unbalanced formation tackle over zone read arc And they're like sprinkling that in other tight end usage stuff on the run game with Derek Henry where you know the the tight ends Screaming into motion and it's almost like a it's like a motion lead block They kind of creating a crease like they're creating a like a natural cut for Derek Henry and yet 260 pounds When he gets a crease like that. It's just game over and you saw that a couple times I I don't know exactly what to call it He did a dwayne ledford did that in Lanna a lot with Bajon Robinson And now you see Derek Henry reaping the benefits from that So just really creative stuff and then on top of that deck one Doyle I thought that's a really nice past game designs. He got zave flowers running choice routes He got some nice kind of third down stuff as well that I thought Lamar look really comfortable with but I was that was really really encouraging I thought to see that from the Ravens and how cookies if everybody looked There's something else that I kind of love about week one It's like the best players are so fresh like Derek Henry week one. Yeah, it's like oh wow This is what it would look like if guys weren't banged up the entire time even for a week one Although Fred kind of looks like that the entire time Nick Bose and that game against the ram And they're like oh, that's right. This is what it's supposed to look like when he's healthy. It's just a little bit of reminder How taxing this game is to see how insane some of the best players are because they're the healthiest that they're going to be now for the rest of the year Were you worried about what the cults looked like at all as far as talk about healthy Because I'm a little scared. Daniel Jones can't plant and throw it. It's there is there's a couple throws Those balls were some reigning on them a little bit. So speaking of health The the cults were a little worried tower war and looked a little banged up the run game looked good But yeah, I was a little worried about how Daniel Jones looked that that leg looks a little limpy right now Yeah, I think the sauce gardener acquisition will be questions although You know because you're just like oh, yeah, this guy's like being talked about like he was at least even if it wasn't real Sauce was talked about is like okay, if it's not certain then it's then maybe it's This and then next group Yeah, and then some people that I think I trusted a little bit were like he's not that And again, my whole surtan thing is that I'm never gonna compare anyone to him until further notice Um, you're right. Okay, we covered that yeah all four and then you're kind of like oh, that's right And it was funny like I saw play it wasn't that great. I was like yeah, that's that we're not that far removed from him But on the day of Jones part of it usually and that's what I always think is so interesting about the Trevor Lawrence conversation is And they let it up so I'll let you cook on that one a little bit But is Trevor really going to be somebody who it took like five years in and it's that second half of the season And that's now who he's going to be and certainly that's what it looked like a week one I think the opponent has something to do with that But maybe this is maybe it is like that's a really long time to feel like you're getting it right And maybe it was just Liam combed coming in and and it all works out and that's fine But but Jeno Jones gave us multiple years of evidence that he wasn't really the guy He lights it up at a historic level like look at some of those performances at the beginning of last year Were then it's like oh, you know, he did this is why he went so high, right? We just start we get different results and then we start recreating all of these versions and it's like dude He sucked with the giants. Okay. He wasn't good You can sit there and talk about the franchise and their history and how long they've been losing in New York with both teams here but I thought that was more of an outlier And then the wheels kind of fell off He had the huge turnover games granted the Pittsburgh game was a disaster I think was there a land of game right after that where he's like fumbling the ball like crazy And so I don't know that it was necessarily that bad But there was a moment there in those first two months of 25 where it was almost like yeah No one should have ever thought that Deanna Jones couldn't have done this and I'm like really Like this is kind of surprising and maybe it's Strictly him rushing back this soon from it, but I I feel like I'm being a little too harsh with a guy coming back from a very significant injury here But it's it's like it's probably gonna look more like average would be We'd almost feel like the reward with Jones moving forward if he's the guy the rest of the year and then you know Who knows what were the decisions that they'd make yeah playable it was playable. Yeah, I know that's exciting for anybody No, it's those first that first half of the season last year. I'm like, I don't think this is really true either No, they were I mean their average and over 30 something points a game that I was like oh, I was eating crow Indie QAR games Yeah, well she's like and has the goods like she's like it's a great play caller and a play designer So like he does get deserves some credit Thrill lines pretty good to Tony Spirons juniors pretty dang good as a coach You know and Jonathan Taylor's Jonathan Taylor like he's he's a dude But I'm with you that more evidence has pointed to him as average at best Limit a thing kind of how he progresses as well. I always thought Deanna Jones is best when he points gets to point shoot You know as soon as he has to come off that first read He's you don't want that. He's not one of those guys But the thing was he's such a good athlete and they did a good job last year of kind of limiting his touches the design runs Kind of similar conversation with Lamar But then you watch him to the yesterday He can't outrun Tavius Robinson to the edge and that's worrisome that if my point shoot All right, if I can't get to number one I have to now create and then now he can't create so I means every design has to be dead on Like dead on like he cannot be wrong and the design can't be wrong And then there's times where the designs right there's a play in the second half where it was a third down And they ran a slot fade it was there's a manbeat or overall but a slot fade to Josh Downes who's a good player So in Josh Downes wins on a slot fade you want to take that one on one blitz boom. Let's go The past rush gets there so Jones has to step up. He can't step up again to throw it Like his his leg only allowed one movement if that makes sense like so because it's right like so he can't plan That is scary to me because that means everybody else has to be on their pees and cues But you don't pay a quarterback if everybody else has to be on their pees and cues You know what I mean? You pay the quarterback to wash away and be mouthwash for everybody else's woes It yeah the math of the the Colts this year is off for me like they they're a weird weird kind of zombie team right now At least until halfway through the air and maybe the Achilles feels better But it's it's a little worrisome for me right now and the defense isn't like all that either worry some uh Detroit pulls it out they hang on And I couldn't believe like whoa are you really going to run jimmyra Gibbs this many times and he when he was drafted I was
kind of like, I don't know that it's worth it. The old burning back thing. I still would say that I'm in that camp of like, I like Jeremiah, I love pick, but generally I don't necessarily want to do this. And Gibbs is just that scary. As soon as he touches the ball, but I'm like, this isn't. I know my gummer is gone, but this doesn't seem all that interesting. And then you get tired of a shock on the other side, you're like, oh man, this guy's gonna suck today. And that was brutal, 'cause it was bad. It was bad, bad. It's disappointing it is to not get the two point conversion. Love them going for it. You could argue that New Orleans, maybe is trying to do like a long term thing of like, hey, this could really give us a spark this season if we get this two point conversion. Like people are gonna be doubting us all this stuff. I think that the positive stuff this is one, obviously the Detroit hangs on that Gibbs looks that scary. There's a lot of stuff in Detroit's office. I didn't necessarily love in this outside of that in the passing game. But at least there was a bounce back to shockware. Even in the third quarter, your turnover turnover and you're like, I guess this guy, not that I was gonna say, hey, everybody was wrong. It was overrating this guy, but I think the comeback proves why everybody always talks about him. So there's some silver lining in there for the saints on what's the disappointing comeback. - Yeah, 'cause he was. - The thing about shock, actually, it's kind of somewhere with golf a little bit, is how he deals with pressure, not mental pressure and all that, but more just literal pressure, how he deals muddy pockets and everything. And he was bad through two and a half quarters when there was no pressure. And that's where I was getting really worried 'cause I was like, all right, are you just not hitting throws? 'Cause again, if you're not gonna be an ultimate creator type, then you have to just be, you have to be money. You can't make mistakes, you have to be accurate. And he wasn't playing like that. It got encouraging as the game went along. Yeah, not having Jordan Tyson, their pick, top pick, that was the math of their personnel is not working. I do like Bryce Lance, though. Trey Lance's little brother. I do like him. And Alaves is stud as well. And Joanne Johnson and Hinton Shock have really nice chemistry. It was just one of those, I was a little discouraged by how it went. Having said that, nine explosive passes by the end of the game. And I thought the last quarter and a half in, even until over time, they had some real nice moments where he stood and delivered the line's defense. I don't think it's gonna be very good in coverage. So that was also discouraging too. 'Cause it was like, all right, if you can't shred these DBs right now, they're all banged up. Farakia Sins starting for them. They're running man coverage. You can't beat them within Alaves is stud. That was kind of worrisome for me. I thought the old line give up a lot of pressures as well. Like so again, that kind of is a little worrisome just overall with the Saints. Having said all that, much better, felt a lot better, felt more explosive. 'Cause I was encouraged what happened last year. He shut kind of beat up on some bad defenses last year during his run. So I kind of have been kind of like middle with him. It's like, yeah, he might be a starter. He's older than Trevor Lawrence. And, you know, that kind of, if you're older and Trevor Lawrence and we're cut talking about like, "Oh, you need still more development." That's, I don't know. To me, it's like, I would unlock something a little bit more exciting. But at least you can get, I think this is gonna be like a starter-ish guy for this year and we can assess. At least everybody else we can assess and see how they play as well. 'Cause they got a pretty young team, a young offense. Trevor Lawrence, let's bring it back to that. 'Cause we were touching on it there a little bit. You seem very bullish. We've talked about the Jags offensive line concerns and maybe there's some guys coming back one in particular that maybe shores that group up a little bit more. But I would say based on every unit ranking stuff that I've looked at, the Jags are not near anyone's like perfect example of an offensive line. They lighted up yesterday. And Trevor Lawrence is in his sixth year. So this is not normally how it goes. When you're number one overall, when you have the urban disaster, when you turn it over, you clean house and then you think, okay, now we're just gonna cater everything to him, which could then also be a cam order conversation. 'Cause everything being catered to cam order, or you sound like you wanna just jump at that right there. I gotta watch that game back before I throw a hot take. I'm not very high on Brian Dable overall. So I wanna re-watch that game before I go onto your show and throw out some big takes on that one. 'Cause I think some of the Tennessee personnel decision stuff is like, well, we have to do this because it's like, well, are you just spending to show that you're spending for 'em, or you're spending on the right people here? - When Del Robison making almost 20 million years, that would be one of those examples I would come up with. But this timeline, one, it's not usually allowed, but is this the rare case where he actually is going to be everything we thought of him? Look, I liked him just like everybody else did, watching him run around a clumstion, like how could this not work out? I thought the second year part of it was like the really alarming season where I'm like, is he seeing ghosts out there? Like what is he looking at? Red Zone throws that, you know, normally it's pretty easy to kind of avoid some of the red zone mistakes 'cause you know it has to be so quickly you get rid of the ball. Not to say like, like red zone to me is the, that's exactly what was the issue. Is he had some of the stoopdest turnovers you ever'd see in the red zone? - I couldn't believe, what were you looking at? - Yeah, 'cause there's so many quarterbacks. And once you get into the red zone, you're just like, okay, this is the difference between you and like the top guys, right? But then I think the benefit of being down there is that you know you have so little time and the routes once they're over, it's just over and it's all clogged up. Like you can then just get rid of it or in his case scramble or you can take the check down if that's in the play, but with him it was like, he didn't wanna give up on the end zone shots. And you're like, this is, this is, who does this? Like this is getting way worse. And again, here we are year six, they light it up. So I feel like I already know your answer on this one, but is this the rare case of like he will be the thing we all thought of, it just took longer than usually anyone ever get the opportunity? - Yeah, I do think that's it. He got the actual timeline to actually get to that and now has surroundings and Liam Cohn's got the goods. Him and his coaching staff are very, very thoughtful with their game plans. They do some really good stuff. And now these guys in their second year in the system, you can kind of see them, they like set the record last year. I don't know if I already told you this, but like for a legal shift last year and a legal formation because none of the guys could get lined up. - Great, make sure it's for that. - And then the second half of the, yeah, hang the banner. And then the second half of the year, then it kind of really got cleaned up. Like Jacobi Mars was really calm to everybody down. But I've always kind of compared some to like a souped up Matt Ryan. Like that's kind of always been my comparison for Trevor. Like just a kind of a juiced up more twitchy Matt Ryan. Where is he a leak guy? Like what I consider the true tier one guys, I only think there's three right now, which is Josh Allen Lamar and Patrick Mahomes, to me. And then there's a kind of a glut of tier two guys. I consider him a tier two guy. I have him kind of more in that like 8, 9, 10 range. I really do. - You have Lamar over Burrow? - Yeah. - Yeah, I have Lamar over Burrow. - Burrow's got, we can get some more explosives before I'm gonna prop him up as a leak guy. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - Yeah, Cloud coverage. - Cloud coverage, yeah. I mean, it was more of the same yesterday. I understand there we had a, yeah. It's like, I appreciate Joe Burrow. I love to use him as teach tape for a lot of quarterbacks, but like the dudes to me have that little something more, that little more creation. Again, you know, whatever you want to call out the dragons of the world. Like they do stuff that you can't coach as far as just like. It's not within the scheme of the play. You know, that creation ability, but I digress. But Trevor yesterday, that was the second best game of his career in terms of success rate, as far as the regular season. They were absolutely cooking. I mentioned again, if you're near 50% success rate, you're cooking on passing. He was 68%. Yes, Brown's caveat. I have to say that, but he was so decisive. He wasn't taking bad plays. I thought, I even tweeted this out, if anyone's curious, but like you see, it's one hitchball out. One hitchball out, that's decisive. And it's not one hitchball out, five year throw. It's one hitchball out, 20 yards down the field. And that's where there's that Matt Ryan, where he really likes to work that intermediate area. And that's where I think that's where he makes his living. Throwing over the middle, which is always encouraging, 'cause again, you have confidence, what you're seeing, and you have anticipation. So I'm very high on what this offense can be. And especially how the rookie left guard looked. I know this is very specific, but a main old pregnant, he's the rookie from Oregon, and he is a mallard. And him and Anton Harrison onto the left side, that's like a plus left side. And that is like, okay, now if we got a couple good starters, who's the weak link now, probably the right tackle? Like, but that's the thing is if it's just one weak link, as opposed to two weak links or three weak links, feel a little bit better about what the run game looks like and the past protection looks like. And there is sneaky signing on this offense. Chris Rodriguez, who's a hammerhead. And that's really helping this offense stay on track in the run game. It's not as boom bust as it was last year, which again, lifts the floor up. And I think Trevor is that guy that can have achieved a high ceiling like they had yesterday. All right, let's try to get to as much of this as we can with some quick hitters here to close it out. I don't know how many losses are gonna have to happen before we surpass the charges lost to Arizona being the worst loss. Like, it's the worst loss of week one. Can it keep that belt for multiple weeks? Now, as we told you on this podcast, I loved Arizona over three and a half. - Yes. - That does not mean, look, there's too many talented guys I thought for three and a half. And I know the schedule was like considered top 10, most difficult, but as Nico Harrison once said, I hope people can see the vision now. And they won the lottery. I think mine has more to do with like, look, did you see all the dudes out there that are running around.
and a lot of it is kind of rounding up the new guys on defense a bit like with a couple pieces in the offensive line for Houston, the expectation is like, all right, well, if these younger guys are just a little bit better, it wasn't necessarily about that. I mean, Herbert was a disaster. I know Lad gets hurt and then the offensive stuff on EPA falls off a cliff once Lad is out. Lambert Smith was also out in this one, another receiver for them. But some of this is just, I may not be able to talk about Herbert for a month. We declared like Herbert guys, stop it, leave them alone. The fourth down, not even getting the ball out and taking a sack is the worst thing you can do is a quarterback, throw a fucking pop up into the red zone and see what happens. And he's been around too long to do it. I understand people mistakes. Then it's almost the frustration double, double coverage pick. That felt like I'm just mad. So I'm gonna let it fly even though it makes no sense whatsoever. And this is a mean impulse. Yeah, I love that. Let's keep using that this season. But once you have the tackles back, you're like, hey, the guys are back there. Like this is not what this is supposed to look like with Mike Daniel. I think it will take now Arizona may in fact be better than certainly Vegas thought they were, but it still is just such a nasty loss for you. Like, oh, all the Herbert haters. A great afternoon for you. Yeah, I congratulate you, you know, yeah, I know people going like, so the final sack was one of those things where this is the limitation to me of being a Shanahan offense, which is what Mike McDaniel runs is they put, and this is for better for worse. And this is what Kyle Shanahan and Matt Ryan had to go through in 2015, 2016. This is what Aaron Rogers and Matt LaFour had to go to in his couple years in Green Bay or last year's in Green Bay is that that offense because there's so much motion has so much stuff is they don't put the changes of protections on the quarterback. Even if it's a vet, they put it on the center. The the charges are starting a day to rookie at center in his first game. And that blows my mind that Justin Herbert who has so many starts doesn't have that right to change the protection there. So what they do and why I I squint at this because the Shanahan offense has a lot of cool stuff and good stuff that a lot of people should take and they do is why I have consternation about this is, you know, my dad growing up or what he does and what like Sean Payton offenses do and others is that the quarterback has the trump card. They can change that. They can change the protection. They see it. You see Dak Prescott. He does it all the time. Josh Allen has the right to change protections. My homes actually has earned that right to change protections. And the fact that Herbert hasn't had that license is weird to me. And on that play though, Nick Rawls the defense coordinator for the carnels is funky. He does some really good rule breaking blitzes sometimes to his detriment, but some real good stuff. They broke the protection there. And what the Shanahan offense do is they we have a built in high. So we're we're going to beat the blitz with the thrill. And that works all fine and good. But number one, I think it's Mac Wilson for for the carnels sprints to where the hot is. So then Herbert trying to do the right. Herbert's kind of a robot. Like good and bad. He kind of I call him the terminator because you can't kill him. And he's just kind of like he does the right thing constantly and just like, jeez, jeez, jeez, like everything is just like I am throwing this dig hell or high water. Like, you know, that he is the terminator. But he's going, okay, I'm throwing to the hot. Oh, it's not there. Eat the sack. And it's like, no, just throw it. Do something like, you know, like you said. So it's one of those things. That's where you see the limitations of this offense. And again, canary in the coal mine, whatever you want to say, that's worry some that they said, no, we're going to stick with the offense that our rookie day two center is going to have that license and not the quarterback that we pay hundreds of million dollars to and has all these starts, which also kind of gets into coaching a little bit too, which we can extrapolate from there. But I having said all that, not as worried upon review. I knew we were going to talk about this. I made sure to watch this game back. Not as worried about the offense as I thought it would be. There was a lot of good moments. A run game was boom busty or Marin Hampton had some tough ass rounds. That quarter, that touchdown run was awesome. The passing game. There's just have to say, I don't know. They're like, their guys are kind of getting stuck. And they also just kind of like, it's just a little sloppy at times. Actually, though, having said all that, what worried me was the defense. I didn't think the defense looked good at all. And yeah, we can say the Cardinals and Jacobi percent and they and the Cardinals have some real dudes on offense. I just thought the defense wasn't threatening. They weren't getting pressures. They're blitzing white crazy at crystal Larry's going to be a blitz guy. But then they weren't doing damage with the blitzes. So if you're blitzing and not doing damage, that's the worst thing possible. Because now you're just creating weaknesses for yourself. They're dropping too, too, too, too, and coverage too much. And he's their best pass pressure. So I that actually upon review had me more worried than anything. So I guess protection rules and then defense of play. That for the charges for a team. I actually was fairly high on. And I still think this offense can get there. That that that was more scary than anything to me. All right, you go on for us? Oh, yeah. I mean, I got a few actually, which one do you want to go to? I could go into. All right. So one thing to me is again, watching that Commander Kagan to the Commander's Eagles right now. Yeah, I want to because my headline would be based on my expectations, both good and bad. I felt like I learned nothing except sunny styles. Maybe illegal by week six. I don't know. And yeah, he I think he's like locked up defense or rookie the year. Like I'm just like, oh, that's the guy. That's the dude right there. Like that, that's like he just jumps out all day long. And you're like, this guy's going to be filthy. Six, four can run like that and and blows up, say, Juan Barkley on a blitz and then plays the run like that, plays coverage like that. Yeah, they don't build them like that. And that's why he's the top 10 pick. No, that I'm that was kind of what I expected. And I don't mean anyone that I heard me last week when I was with you and we're talking about some of these teams. I was low on Commander's offense. I'm kind of iffy on what the Eagles offense is going to be. The Eagles might have some online issues. And which what was the pressure rate? Because I think at one point like Jaden was like 56% of his dropbacks. He was pressured, which was so nice to see on two of those throws. It was the third down and then it was like, hey, you know, when he had time, this is why we like this guy so much like, look how nice this looks. And then you realize this hasn't been clean all game long. But to your point, it like think the best that I think for Hertz, they were at 10 and 14 on third downs, considering all the chaos that he was dealing with because that was a battle line game from the Eagles. Yeah. Landon Dickerson looks done. I appreciate the player. He was a hell of a player. He just looks so banged up that he can't move. And he was like a true weakness for them, run game and pass game. But I, yeah, Jaden, I'm sorry, I'll keep with the Eagles first. But yeah, no, I thought the under center stuff is just exactly how I played out. Like combined, these guys went three of eight, went throwing from under center. Hertz went 104 and the one was the bomb to Wix early that he admitted he hadn't thrown that route the entire time they practiced it. So he was just launching that thing and it worked out great. And then Jaden Daniels wasn't pushing the ball at all. That's, that's always been my thing with Jaden. He likes to attack to the outside. He can't throw over the middle fairly well. But he just kind of doesn't prefer that is that when he gets pressured, his eyes come down because he's such a good scrambler. When I say eyes come down, he's not scrambling to launch and create an explosive. It's a lot of underneath underneath underneath. And he went, what do you go? One of six yesterday on throws of 15 or more air yards. The only completion was that one to Antonio Williams on the over who had a really nice game. Antonio Williams looks like a keeper. But I, I thought both of these teams look pretty rough on offense. And like the Eagles, the rung game is just 78 of Saquon Barclay's 83 yards came after contact. And, and the commanders improved their defense, but not like that. But where it's like this is going to be like a top 10 defense. They're just not going to be awful. They had three holding penalties. They're off and saline. They give up three sacks. And they don't do enough down to down to mitigate all that. Hertz was explosive and had some of those. But 25% of Hertz dropaxe resulted in a sack or scramble. And then 14% were not exposed to pass. That means two out of five dropaxe means are sack scramble or explosive play. That's a tough way to live if your run game is going to be that poor. And, and this has now been a multi year issue. Saquon's success rate in 2024 is 44%. Last year's 35%. Yesterday was 28%. That, again, I look at kind of math of an offense. Can you attack? Can you get on base success rate and then can create those explosives? They got explosives passing still. But the rung game is falling off. And it's like it hasn't changed. And it doesn't look like it changed at all. I thought they're pretty sloppy up front, which is a little worrisome to me. Do you want to know what Kirk cousins was yesterday and air yard throws 10 or more yards? What? One of seven with two picks. Yeah. It felt like that. Those are some really touchdowns, though, all under 10 yard mere throw. Ashen Gentus feels like. What's that? Ashen Gentus. It's amazing. He did. He did. Because I was I was monitoring that with our older guys, Rogers. Oh, it's six on 20 or more air yards. He had two completions, 15 or more. Everything else was underneath that. He's looking at the performative deep ball. Yeah. He, he, he, he throw some, he throws some FU deep balls, not in like FU defense more FU. I'm going to throw this. Whatever. Oh, it didn't work. Whatever. That's on you guys. That's, that's kind of there on Rogers. We could keep track of I'm mad interceptions. Um, he also had something with a guy in a route where I still don't know. I don't know. It was a tight end. He was mad. And I, I couldn't tell. If I would say no, I would usually think Romo was the king of it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, no one was better with the hand signal of like that's an in that's an in after something went bad. Take a moment here to talk about raising canes and their founder Todd Graves who as you know I've met almost 20 years ago down at LSU like wise this guy paying for my dinner well apparently you can afford it. No, he really is a study in the hard work. I think he worked on an oil rig or something ridiculous when he first got started not that far from where I live right now. I was like you did that. So the foundation was laid put in the work put in the hours and the reward is yours. Canes is also this year sponsoring PJ horror golf or Sam Burns LSU alum Louisiana native and good friend of raising canes owner and founder Todd graves. You may have seen the canes logo on his collar during tournaments this season ahead of the BMW championship Sam and raising canes hosted kids from first T and boys and girls club of St. Louis from meet and greet and golf lessons by Sam himself at a driving range and say Lewis and of course canes chicken fingers and canes sauce. The first time I remember getting them like look I do love a chicken finger. I mean who doesn't who among us parents out there like hey you done with that she's three letter eater chicken finger but it's staring at you and you kind of want it. So I think we're all familiar with chicken fingers and what they bring to the table. But the first time I had a canes chicken figure I was like okay now I get it. I get why everybody says hey you want to get canes you want to bring you canes should I bring back canes tonight we should get canes before the game. It makes sense once you have it. Canes chicken fingers one love all right I've got one for you. I think Harbaugh took the Giants job not just because he wanted to coach again and because it's New York. I think he likes this roster. I was really impressed with a bunch of parts of the Giants win last night look it's it's super easy to just go Jackson Darts just had the best game of his career last night. He's still going to take the hits. You could tell Collins worth the way he was talking about him and this is what I love. You've done it long enough. He was basically telling you the tape from last year was kind of a mess which I had always thought it was a mess. He was new. It was exciting. You were going to round up everything is a former first round because you have all of this hope. I loved him in college, but I also knew there was a bill that came with it was like this excise tax. It's like just so you know a lot of it's going to be a lot of fun. But like this is going to be the part that's really alarming. The Caleb downs hit which was great on the broadcast. He just did not recognize the math of that being like if he's coming up here especially to the way Caleb downs is going to be used, you're going to have to account for him. He doesn't. He gets clobbered. The great thing is that Jackson is so thick that like another lesser man maybe knocked out of the game. I thought the sideline hit was I thought it was bullshit to throw flag on that. He is still running. Okay. They're talking about it on the broadcast. He's way out about he was not way out of bounds. We are we're to the point now where like we're putting these defensive players in a possible situation. If he's still live, I've got to I've got to finish this play in close amounts. The problem is these guys are so massive. They end up 10 feet deep. It's on the team sideline. If you went through the science of how many times the flag is thrown for the late hit out of bounds on that team sideline versus the opponents, it's going to be like 70 times more likely going to get the flag. But I think whether it's an old line that I don't really know enough about yet, record who makes me think why isn't everybody trying to get a 275 pound fullback who's just basically an extra line. And even if he ends up telegraphing where the play is going, neighbors being back was awesome. Likely being the number one tight end was terrific. I think there's more to this roster and clearly of Harbaugh, we're going to take this job. I wondered at first, I'm like, is Jackson the guy to do this when you could probably pick your spot on the next few, but maybe, maybe I'm overreacting to the week one win. But maybe there's something more to be said about this roster that they built. And I haven't even talked about the front, although I'd like to say that I wish the front was a little nastier because I think the name recognition, at least for me, is a college fan. I'm like, yeah, but collectively, it doesn't feel as nasty it's supposed to be with all these resources that are up there. Yeah. Abdul Carter is a real deal, but it's, I agree. And the thing was their defense just, their defense just played more sound, which I guess maybe is somewhere the Harbaugh to it or Wilson or Denar Wilson, their defense coordinator. But I do think that like, they actually tackled that was their issue last year, as there's horrible tackling and there's so much better. But this, the strength of this team is going to be running the ball. And that's not just a camp scout. I do think the offense aligns real good. Like, I think Frances Malano, I think C.C. I think he goes by C.C. is, yeah, he's moving guys. That was their first round pick or one of their first round picks. Dremain and Luminor was the right tackle out of like a career last year. And Andrew Thomas, like, win healthy is like, on podium for best tackles game, but sure. So, but what's other thing is not just the old line. It's just the, what I call their auxiliary blockers, like Picard, like you mentioned, they have multiple blocking tight ends, like Theo Johnson and Chris Manherts are both good blockers. And then they got Malachi Fields, the rookie from Notre Dame, who was him in struggling. The guy that we're an Irish draft, we're probably the two best blocking receivers, because I care about this shit, but they, he really was. And he, my next young step buddy, Keegan Abdu, sent me this, that Malachi Fields had the most crack blocks of any receiver in week one. Again, niche stats, that's like screen setting, but it came up. He was, but him getting free on that motion, you know, where actually it was the route, because it looks like he's coming down to crack it and then him getting free. I thought they did a great job appointing that out. Yeah, it was, it was, that's, again, this run game is going to be the real deal, whether it's Scataboo, whoever Greg Roman actually, like he has his works maybe in passing game designs, but he's real good in the run game. And he will be, he will be good in the run game throughout this year. And I just thought dark, who I warmed on him as, as watching him as a rookie, he still has a long ways to go. I think to be a real quarterback. But I thought the thing about him was he wasn't trying too many of those hero plays like he had last year. I thought the ball was coming out quick. I mean, he peppered four flat routes in a row, because the cow was apparently can't cover a flat route, even Brian Schottneimer joked about it. But it was, you know, he had, when you get multiple touchdowns on flat routes, that's, that's usually an easy day at the office. But I thought that was encouraging that Dart seemed very streamlined. Maybe that's the best way I can put it. Like, I thought his thinking was very streamlined. You don't want Dart hitching a bunch of times if he does your dead, because then bad things might happen. But I was encouraged, really encouraged by the O line, the blocking, and I, there was kind of, this is their formula and have enough on defense. I don't think the defense can be outstanding, but they got some juice up front. But I actually thought the cowboys blocked him up pretty well. They just, yeah, their defense couldn't get off the field. That was, I don't know if you saw it, but that was, they went nine of 10 until that final knee on third down, the Giants did, which is like, there's no way you would ever think the Giants. Even if you go, hey, the Dallas defense isn't going to be that much better, but you let the Giants go nine for 10 on third down, like that's. So there's that last touchdown drive where there's the neighbor's throw, which I do think is a good throw for somebody like Dart who you're going, okay, what is this going to look like? Is he going to have the finesse part of this game? Yeah. And to me, that was a finesse throw because he had to get it up and over the defensive back, get it to neighbors for the safety's coming back. It wasn't like one of those crazy. There was a one foot window throw in there. It's still open. And that maybe is the more damning thing as Collins versus also saying, like, okay, so all right, that throws that one, but what are we doing with likely over here? Why are there two? How is there is there miscommunication or are you just allowing these guys? It felt like there were four throws there where it didn't really make any sense what Dallas was doing. And I'm willing to just believe it's mistakes because it's week one and it's a new defensive coordinator, but that was a really disappointing series that essentially puts the game away for Dallas. Yeah, they had some weird, weird, just communication stuff with their, like, their flat defender. I guess is the best way to put it. And again, the Fangeo defense, which is what they're running is going to take time because they just have rules against formation, so motion. If you have guys that aren't used to it, it can bust. But it was kind of like the same when you repeat mistakes. That's a little discouraging where it's like, fix it. Somebody told them to fix it, like somebody yell out there, like you got the flat, something of that sort. It's probably touched on with just why is likely, like why is somebody going, well, I'll let him go. Yeah, I know. I'm actually pulling it up right now. So they're in quarters. They cut it. They have two guys on that right side that basically hit each other too. The corner has the corner has to fall back. He has the draw and bland has to has to fall back. So that's on bland to me, it's on bland. And those kind of looks. And again, I'm assuming here, they make what's called an under call. So when that outside receiver goes under five yards and in, he falls off. It's to take away what they exactly ran, which is called a smash concept or a China, whatever you want to call it, corner hitch or corner China. China. Yeah, corner hitch. But those kind of concepts, yeah, you should see paid man's signal, paid man's manning signal for that. But no, but the under route is going, you know, under the, I think, Jerome Blan has to fall off there. That's always my assessment on it. Okay. We'll, a couple more on anything else that we haven't hit. Okay. I'm trying to see. Oh, yeah, we already got to my Jags gushing already, I already love that. I want to talk about the bears, dropping frickin, almost 60 bears, you want to? Let's do it. I had it. It was my last thing that I was going to do. I, I'd rather talk about that than anything else. So, you know, I mean, we could, I could go maybe into, you know, chill out Baker Mayfield. Just, you know, relax. Give us a good minute on chill out Baker Mayfield. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's learned nothing. But that's, that's Baker Mayfield, like he's going to play how he plays. I thought what was, again, discouraging was maybe that the final, the final fumble, because he had multiple. But the final one was where he, Tristan Wurfs was blocking for so long.
long that he thought the ball was out already. So what's the guy out kind of leak inside at the very end and Baker who started all these games is still double clutching triple clutching. And again, I was on the show last week saying, Hey, I'm going to I'm still actually fairly high in the box. Again, upon review, I was like, okay, there's some stuff here. It was that I thought those times is like, Hey, we got to get the ball out. You shouldn't be taking these hits anymore. Like he, but the thing was that's what led him to success in the first stretch of last year, where you're scrambling at the highest rate possible. And I think now he has the trust what he's got. Like they weren't they had a bad game script because of those turnovers. Like the run games there. Bucky Irving looked good. In the run game, no wine is still good. And the Bengals defense is improved. I will, I will give him some credit. But when he's pressured, he's taking hits, he's taking sacks. This is the guy that win hurt. He'll let you know. And then also it really drops his play. And so don't take the hits. But again, I'm not his coach, but it's really for me discouraging. And on top of it, that was the highest amount of throws that he's ever had behind the line of scrimmage in his entire career. 43% of his throws were behind the line of scrimmage. So if you turn the ball over and throw in that short, your teammates have to do something like, but they, you know, but we're paying you Baker made feel to do something. And so again, I he's got chill out. I think he was just so amped up to make all these big plays after getting paid. And but that's Baker. It's kind of to give and take Baker. I will say last thought, Bengals, Amarius Mims, right tackle, absolute stud, absolute phenom at right tackle, Amarius Mims. So I gave him a shout out as well. It was noticeable that since the nice defense felt like they are going to be series where it's like, okay, you guys are going to have some nice wins on him. I know that sounds very vanilla or whatever. But I mean, the defense has been such a problem for so long that I was like, okay, it looks like there's some guys here. All right. I will 43% behind the line of scrimmage. That's not my favorite set of the weekend. Let's close with the bears. So we know it's 59 points, 552 yards. My favorite part 10 to 14 on third down, even with me being a Caleb guy, there's two lovelin throws in there where I'm like, oh, you know, like as I always worry about like the accuracy stuff with him because they're kind of these alarming accuracy numbers. But here's the positive, right? You're going to go, why are you doing this or so though? It's going to about to get real positive. He's clearly even more comfortable week one, right? With Ben Johnson and what the rules are. He will give you the shot. So the exposes are there. I feel like he's escaping with still staying in the play as opposed to escaping like all young guys do and some older guys that never figure it out, but escaping with no plan. What I love about him and I'm not putting him in this first tier of all the different things that we're doing. But if you're talking about problem solvers on dropbacks facing chaos, he is, if this is what it's going to be like, he's going to be in that elite group of three or four quarterbacks. And I'm not, it's not saying he's Alan or he's my homes, but specific to the solving of the chaotic dropback with the arsenal that he has right now. That's my favorite part of him. And we saw a lot of that yesterday, even though it was total domination, there was still a lot of like, all right, I've got to kind of figure this one out here as opposed to just clean pockets all night long, because I don't think that's going to happen. If you, the two-minute drive is everything you want. Okay, what I'm saying, third and 11 breaks contained third and extra longs are quarterbacks go do something either be a hero with a throw or maybe create with your legs. Like if you have a do that can do this. That's that's such an asset such a weapon. But he has a third and 11 throw breaks contain to his left. There's certain guys that cannot throw while moving the left. J. Owen Hertz, Baker, like they, they're just too stiff getting around. He can throw to his left and not only do that, whiffs a frickin 100 mile hour fastball while moving to his left as he's like legs in the air. Next play or always a couple later in the drive throws an in-breaker to Lutherburden within structure. And then on the final play, just put a home scrambles and creates a touchdown with his legs again. That's the that's kale wounds. That's what the elite guys do. Not saying he's a week yet because I agree. He's also because he's a line drive thrower. Line drive throwers miss hard. They so they miss the that's the lovelin in the end zone. Throw yes. Yes. Well, that one got down. It was in front of him a little bit. But it was like, Hey, would if I have a defensive back on me and I'm lovelin like, let me win the ball against this guy. Give me a chance. And on that one, it wasn't there. And those, like if he ever cleans that up, forget it. That's the thing is like we're still scratching a surface. And Ben Johnson, who's a real tough critic of kale of and everybody is like gushing about him, which is like, all right, like again, some guys gushing about the guys are like, Harbaugh, I'm like, all right, Ben Johnson gushing about his guys. I'm like, okay, I'm going to listen to this. You know, it's a scale. Hey Harbaugh said, okay, Herbert's going to be the greatest of all time. When he got the San Francisco gig, he said Alex Smith was right up there with Brady's and Manning and Breeze. And it was like, he's then you benched him for Kaepernick and then JJ McCarthy is the greatest Michigan quarterback ever. That was another one of his lines too about his quarterbacks. And I appreciate coaches trying to pump their guys up. I do. But again, like how Ben Johnson goes about it. I like, I take, I take his with a lot less salt. I agree. I think there's a different level of sincerity. Yeah. The, and then Caleb too on top of it is like, he's just so fast. And, and I've tweeted this, I think next year and stats is tweeted this now as well is since last year, he has seven runs or scrambles where he broke 20 miles an hour or more. All of the quarterbacks combined have five. And he has seven. That is absurd. That's an excellent athlete right there. And then on top of it, he's got one of the strongest arms in the league. And now the game's slowing down for him mentally. Again, if you see him working over the middle, you, I agree with you that his scrambles are a little bit more with scrambles or explainable, you know, or the creations are explainable. Guys, that's scramble, just the scramble. That's where he gets a little worrisome archmaning. His scrambles in the beginning are scrambles of a guy who doesn't know what's going on, which is almost every one of these dudes, no matter how high you're drafted in the beginning. Yes, like Jane Daniels is a perfect example of it. Like, hey, I really like it. I like the stuff that's good. But if you think this guy's going to survive on these one read and tuck it and run things, like he's not going to. And this is why he's already been her. And I still thought, like, despite some of these great Jane Daniels plays, he needs to look at like almost the Caleb tape from year one to the end of year two. You know, who knows what the rest of it's going to like look like here early week three. But like, if this is what it is, because I'm still like, he's so wild that he's so gifted and he's all of these different things. That should be the template for the other quarterbacks that can't seem to ever fit because it makes I talk about this all the time. It makes sense why Bryce under would be like, I want to just tuck it in. Run was like, yeah, because it's worked for your entire life. Yeah. You're a specimen. But eventually you're going to meet in opposition where it just it doesn't work anymore. And the whole point is figuring out the rest of it. And it's crazy to think there's even top 10 guys that are drafted that haven't figured out any of that stuff. And it looks like Caleb have never ever do. And that's yeah, I mean, the whole line improved. But the thing was too is that he's like Lamar. He's got kind of that greetski thing where he doesn't get hit if that makes sense. Like really full on full contact hit. James Lamar are like their own group for me because I was thinking about that yesterday. Like I still think Lamar if we're going contemporaries here, it's a peak Lamar. It was this thing where it's like, you're never going to get that clean hit on him. You're never going to. And I hope that's what it is for Caleb. You're saying it's close to it. I guess I just would always like think Lamar is. Lamar's his kind of his own thing. But again, yeah, that's why I only give him the greetski doesn't take the hits. You know, the slippery kind of like just those sort of like get through like just doesn't take those hits. But last year, Caleb was only hit on like knocked down as a stat I have sets hits and sacks combined. Only on seven percent of his dropbacks, which is the which was the lowest rate in the week. So he took the fewest hits on dropbacks. Like he avoided those awesome number. Yeah, because there's still a decent pressure number on him. Isn't there? Is the pressure number the absurd one from his rookie year? Yeah, and then but last year was more just kind of like middleing good good. I would say the I would say 20s low 20s. Yeah, yeah, which is usually about league average and everything. But you know, I got to just because this is what I do is I got to give a shout out to also to what I like about with the bears is all their star players or potential star players Roman Dune Zay, Luther Byrd and Colson Loveland. I'll even throw. I'm not even going to say star here, but even role players like Cleaf Raymond throw dogs on a run game. They will block their asses off. And that's what Ben Johnson's all like actually legitimately carries this out. No block, no rock. Some guys some guys actually just say that and then they're like, well, we need some points now. All right. All right. Go out there, OBJ. Let's go. They go. Go. Yeah, go. We're going to slant. These guys like and their eyes are really good. So I mean, they're well coached. They the the long run will call him a nun guy, Luther Byrd and sifts out and sorts out the block. That's what is why this bears team is scary is that the stars are willing to buy into that dirty work stuff. And now they see the rewards of that. And then on top of it, they have a quarterback that even if there's going to be maybe some down to down frustrations, but I'm high on Caleb. So don't get me wrong. I think he's going to be a dude. It's the the ceiling. He's the ultimate ultimate ceiling razors. So the floor is high in Eagle with the ceiling. That's an offense that's elite. That's like truly high high end stuff. So
I'm a, yeah, very encouraged what they did. Hang in to the wrong game stop. I read to that. So they, they, they do some cool stuff. I was on a scheme stuff as well. If we're giving shout out, then let me just hit up a, detackle for the bills. DM Walker, second year on a contender. Yeah. Cause he six, seven, three, three, thirty. And I was reading his gallery reports this morning. I'm like, what happened here? And it was like, he didn't test as well. It goes, wasn't as good at six, seven, three, thirty. So you guys want it to be? I'm sure look, the people that do it for a living, there's plenty on tape for him to last. Cause ladies, he did, he was in that, you know, I always call it the Adrian Cooper Award. Or it's like, who the fuck is that guy award? Yeah. And Cooper has a nice place yesterday too. That one series in particular. Just an absolute game record. I think, maybe we'll just call it the Adrian Cooper Award. We do it every single week on that one. Cause I, I, the, I Walker had himself a game, even if it wasn't like the bills just shut down. The Texans offense there. I, I think his, uh, he got stereotyped. And then the scouts kind of like, oh, is that, cause he's a big, he looks gigantic. He looks like a, Hainesworth or whatever, John Henderson. But then he plays kind of finesse, like he's a gap shooter as opposed to like a plugger. So I think some guys were like, oh, this is a big horse nose tackle. And then they watch and they're like, oh, you're like, uh, like finesse gap shooter type, like, you know, quick hands and wins around, which is like free, free stuff. So I do think that's actually a dinged him a little bit. Like to me, because I had him, I had some free stuff. Yesterday, this is the best defense for him. Jim Lender, because he slances guys so much. So this is a great defense for him. So I, I think this is just the beginning of him. I, he was like one of my breakout players before the season. But there's a reason why we had you on Mondays. I already unlocked it. You're like, yeah, I actually had him back in July. When we're doing preamp, um, you're the man. That is a Monday with Nate Tyson. We'll do some college ball later on. I'm going to do 10 minutes on Texas Ohio State. So we don't have to do any more on that. Um, but it was just such an exciting week one. And we just want to get going and rolling. Uh, your pick for tonight tackle watch, watch, watch Cianny. He's stud. Yeah. That's my guy tackle. That's why I prefer tonight. Uh, I'm going to go, uh, I'm going to go Broncos. And then it's just Josh Simmons is not playing. You got a backup undrafted left tackle with that change by me. Yeah. I know that sounds. Yeah. That's that's scary because the strength. That's why I got even a little bullish on the chiefs this year was the line. So left tackle undrafted for Asian starting. Yeah. I'm going to get a little bit lower on that. I do think the chiefs defense is going to surprise people this year though. I think that's going to be a fun defense. Talk to you next week. Awesome. Thanks. You know what? Something pops up last minute. You need an outfit that just works. That's when I go straight to revolve man. It feels curated. Not chaotic. You're not drowning in 10,000 results or 50 pages of product. It's edited in a way that makes sense. Everything is styled. So you can see how it works. Not just a product on a white background, but a whole outfit because it's not just about one piece. It's about the full look revolve man shows you what goes with what. So you're not guessing plus two day shipping is free returns are easy. So even if you order a couple of options for a trip or an event, it's genuinely stress free. You want to talk about this? I was stressed out to go into the shop in LA because I was like, man, what am I supposed to make fun of me? Like that's such a dope hoodie. I've wanted it for such a long time. I saw Christian Brown wearing it once when he wasn't dressed. And so I was like, I want to get it, but I didn't even know where to find it. So I was just like going through different things and revolve man just laid it out on. I may go with the matching pants, but I couldn't do that just yet. It made it so easy and it showed up in two days. It actually showed up earlier than it was supposed to. So whether it's a big night out, a wedding, a trip, or you just need something last minute that actually works, revolve man always has it. I like a lot of you spend a good chunk of my day on Saturday in full anticipation of Texas and Ohio State 3 match, and there's a couple of thoughts that I have on some of the pre-game stuff. I usually don't watch a lot of that because I'm just already watching games. I don't want to spend more time. You've heard that speech before, I covered it. But considering what happened last year and Texas having this lost Ohio State, a game that very easily could have gone either way depending on the bounce of a ball here or there, it just kind of delayed the whole idea of like what Texas is supposed to be. They bring in Arche, Sarks their top accruing classes, there was well-funded as any program. They move over to the SEC. Grant, we know this has been going on for a while. They've made some playoff runs. There's a lot here that we're kind of waiting on with Texas and where Ohio State has generally been not only the standard of the big 10, but the standard for all college football here with a recent national championship. When I was watching some of the pre-game stuff, Arche was great in it. Arche, I've talked to some people that recruited him, didn't get him, but they loved him. They loved how grounded he was and that he had every right as a young person to maybe see himself a different way and in a way he kind of uses what everybody expects of him to kind of like disarm them in a very humble way that can feel like bullshit with so many of these other players. But there's just a lot of people that really liked him, but we're all kind of like waiting and it's way too much hype at the beginning of the season. You're like, "How come this guy's in the Highsman list? Why is he protected? He won overall." And that was something that happened with the mock draft even last year. So waiting on this thing to happen when you're watching the pre-game stuff and whether it's the facilities at Texas and you're seeing all the sayings, which is not specific to Texas, right? All of these programs kind of talk about, "Hey, here there's a standard and we have a way." And you're like, "Look, this is probably more me than anybody else. Just because I've been to a bunch of these places," you're like, "Oh, you made some fucking t-shirts and you put some sayings around the facility. Like now everything's different," whatever. And I know that everybody kind of has to do this stuff. And I'd even allow that, "Hey, if you have this kind of positive reinforcement, if you have win the day in the corner when Chip Kelly is up there in Eugene, you're likely going to win the day." They also were awesome, too, so I don't know if it was the sayings plastered all over the stadium. But when it doesn't happen and you're getting these like full access moments, they're like, "All right. But when are you going to win one of these games? All right. Can you actually win a national championship?" And I know that the stakes keep getting raised. It's not like they're in a bad program. But you're like, "We're all kind of waiting on you, Texas. We're waiting on this moment." And then Saturday night happens. And this is why I love football. Like I love so many different sports and for very specific reasons. I talk about basketball the reason I've made love that one the most is that the best player can just decide at any given moment. Like I have to do something and take over even though it doesn't seem like any of this is going to be easy. And like if the best players get to do that and just impose their will on everyone else. That's really kind of like what we're talking about here. But with football, it is very different in the sense that you can be getting your ass kick for almost three hours and you've got to come off to the sideline completely frustrated whether it's another three and out or you just gave up a touchdown or it was a turnover. And you have to come back and you have to stay in the fight. And that is not for everybody. I mean, imagine if you were an outfielder in baseball and for an hour, let's say three innings, no one hits a ball at you. No one notices anything you're doing, right? But during those three innings of that one hour of, say, gameplay, you were also getting pushed 50 times and no one cares. And there's no reward. And it's not going your way. Like that would be brutal when going back to the dugout being like, all right. That's sucked. And that's kind of what football is. You go out there. Most people aren't paying attention. I think it's happening other than the football. And you're just getting your ass handed to you over and over and over again. And you're incredibly disappointed. I mean, even think about the start of this game, the place is on fire. Austin is ready to absolutely erupt to get revenge to talk about this SEC Big 10 thing, which has gone the big 10s way here to talk about Sark. This coach that so many people are like, yeah, you know, he's pretty good with the offense, but I don't really know if he's that guy. Meanwhile, we did the same thing to Kirby smart. He was dumb until he wasn't. We said the same thing about crystal ball until we got to national championship game. Well, how state fans wanted Ryan Day fired the year he won a national championship. So we do this a lot with coaches, we're just kind of like collectively, I don't know about that guy. And then it happens and you go, all right, fine. Great. I don't know crystal ball loss in the national championship game. So you come out. Beavos there. You're fired. The cannon celebrities all over the place. And you first play fumble and you're like, all right, this sucks. Pull them to feel goal next possession pick your down 10, nothing. You don't even know if you're at Ohio state's level this test like are we national title contenders? Can we get revenge on Ohio state? We don't even know if we're the same as them or better because we're giving this thing away. If you're Texas and then you're coming back to the sidelines, it just continues to get worse. The first half here are the possessions for Texas fumble, interception, punt, feel goal. They tried to go for it on fourth down with the wing go end around. I actually like to play call Ohio state stayed in their lanes. They had to cover it up. Next thing you know, Ohio state taken over at midfield on the turnover on downs. They hit Jeremiah Smith for a touchdown. So even when it was 13, three and you're going for that fourth down being like, hey, if it's 13, six as bad as this first half has been, it's 13, six footballs weird. It can look like there's a canyon between the two teams based on what you've seen play out. And you're looking at the score going, look at the NFL games that we have every single week, and you're like, how the fuck is this a game? And that's what Sark and that offensive thing are like, we just get this fourth down. You can feel goal man, 13, six. That doesn't seem like a correct reflection of how this game has played out. And then it doesn't.
happen because they scored a touchdown with 10 seconds left on that last play. And now you're down 23 and they're getting the ball back, you know, like this sucks. And Texas still doesn't score in the third quarter. In the third quarter, I think we're talking seven plays two punts. Like this isn't going to happen. And arch, I mean, it's not all on arch. They didn't look like they could run the football, didn't look like they could defend Jeremiah Smith, saying his terrific, all these defensive guys, 15 different players drafted into the NFL. The last two years, just from Ohio State's defense. And they're like, I guess they're still good. Like anybody having questions to be like, are they actually still going to be special on defense? Yeah, I guess they are. I guess it's not going to be an issue. Bo Jackson's going off and he's going to like just right through the throats of this defensive line and linebacker group that we all like from Texas. And in the third quarter, it's still a mess. Some of the arch throws these predetermined bubble screens that are just infecting college football. They're so predetermined, even the quarterbacks that are supposed to be first round draft picks. I imagine when they call it, it's, it's also like no matter what throw it out to them. Like what if we see a bulldozer coming to kill the receiver? Nope. Still throw it to them. And that kept happening. You're like, these are buddy, he's going to get one of these guys killed. There was one throw where he actually like clutch. And like it wasn't like a pump fake. He just was late with getting it out. And I'm like, Oh my God. And so that, all of that's happening. And then Texas gets a little momentum at that end of the third quarter. And then they score immediately because of how the clock worked fourth quarter. You know, so it's like nice to say they had the three touchdowns. But some of that work was done in the third quarter. Texas is able to start running the football. And I don't know if it was the heat. I don't know what it was. But it was like, Hey, all right, we got the quick one there. Like now you're going to have to keep playing defense. You can get on day's case. I guess if you want to have like playing not to lose, but you know, they missed that field goal. This is entirely different conversation. I've granted that field goal would have put them up two scores. Texas scored that last touchdown three 51. They may have managed a clock. Obviously they would have managed a lot different if they were down to scores. But that's still asking a lot to get two scores. Like you got to get another one. You got to get a fourth score and get to even get the ball back with all of this. But the point of like the saying and all this kind of stuff is that this win should mean everything for Texas. Like all of that stuff, it should mean something. The standard, the fight. Do we have it in us? That's why I think those guys were out of their minds after the game. And I don't know what happened with the Sark interview. Apparently there's a problem at half time. He walked away from Holly row. Arch wanted to get back with the rest of those guys. I was being sent videos from dudes that were at the game him going off. Like this wasn't just a win against Big bad Ohio State. This wasn't just revenge. It wasn't just about the SEC in the big 10. It's about Texas and all of us that have been waiting on this, this moment to happen. And it's still like who knows? Because I'm sitting there going. When's the last time you picked a national championship game where both teams lost in week two of the college football season. And that's what it felt like for a long stretch Saturday after Oregon had lost to Oklahoma State because I had Texas over Oregon. And I'm like, that doesn't happen a lot. I can get shit wrong. But whoa. And look, as we know what the playoff, all these teams after a loss would still be in it. Oregon's still in it. Ohio State's still in it. But the meaning of all of this. And I don't know that the SEC Big 10 thing matters. You know, Michigan get Oklahoma earlier. Hey, thanks Mississippi State. If you're in the SEC offices on some of the results haven't been there, the depth is there the results have not been there. And the national championship games obviously we know what's happened the last three years. But for Texas, just for Texas, that program in Austin on a night like that to stay in the fight. That should mean something the rest of the season and maybe a program delivering on this thing we've all been waiting on. Life advice is brought to you by YouTube.

I have a ridiculous house in the south fork. I have every tour you can possibly imagine. And best of all kids, I am liquid. So now you know what's possible. Let me tell you what's required. All right. Life advice, life advice, r-r-i-gmail.com, serrudy and Kyle are with us. How was week one for you guys? I was good. It was hectic. Yeah. I mean, you know, Kyle and I were talking before. It was like a nice brisk sort of fall feeling for the first time really here in the Northeast. And then you get a little bit too excited and you throw a sweatshirt on. You go outside and sat down and you're like, wait a second. It's actually still 85 degrees outside and sweat my balls off. But today's holding up. I'm feeling autumnal AF. I mean, it really does. It smells different today. I don't catch on, but it's good. Print the shirts. Atumnal AF. There you go. So, so trying to get the rights from Albany. Yeah. And on the COVID. They could use a little cash flow up there. I think they would mind a little royalty thing. I get back to us. Yeah. It does seem like a few of those itself. But then I feel like it would be really big on not overstocking that. Yeah, well, it could be totally co-opted. It's just like every city has it in their gift shop. You know, like now it's just we didn't get we missed out on all that money because they just plan copy and paste it everywhere. Yeah, maybe the plan is just to have a bunch of super knees t-shirts only make like five of them. And that's our plan. So there's just super scarce. So if you see a secondary market, then we'll be back to turn the watches and then next thing you know. It's like Detroit versus everybody. And then it gets, then it was Nantucket versus everybody and we've gone too far. Yeah. Got a little feedback. Counting down sucks. Confirmation bias. Mayfellas want to preface this by saying I love all of you guys. But end the pod. But come on counting down and set sucks. I'm pretty serious lifter and I've tried on multiple occasions of accounting up and just going to failure is way simpler. When I count down, I either grossly overestimate how much I have in the tank and don't make it or completely underestimate and finish knowing I could have gone harder. Everyone I've asked about this. Grease and says that it sucks. Hmm. That hurts. The result. I thought about going one, two, three, four, five, five, four, three, two, one. We thought about that. Or have you been know what if you go zero, negative one, negative two, start sharp and lower. The Kelvin method. Yeah. Sub zero. I'm convinced that the emails you receive praising it is just confirmation bias from the small population who it works for. Then they write in to tell you, I love that you think that that's what it could be. Now you might be right. And it didn't work for you. And that's fine. But how is it confirmation bias from Austin, not from you? Sorry. That one. I can't continue to listen to this bad advice. Need to hit it. Your ego's a little bit. Love the pod. Go lines. Yeah. Look, I don't know. I don't know if it's, I would imagine if you're like really good in your serious lifter and you kind of know the range that you're in all the time, maybe it doesn't work for you. My trainer tried it after I talked to him about it and then he came up and was like, it actually worked on a couple of things. It's crazy. So, you know, look, I don't think there's a lawsuit that needs to happen here. But if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you. That's fine. But I think the issue that I have to have is that you're accusing us of confirmation bias from emailers emailing in saying that it's working for them and that I've suggested it's worked for me for years. And you're in the clear though. Does that make any sense? I'm embarrassed to say I'm not 100% clear on what confirmation bias is. I always feel stupid when I do this like gaslighting or something. But I feel like this one you could explain in one sentence to me and we'll just move on. Is that just you're hearing what you want to hear? Here's a perfect example like in the draft where if there's a player that I like, say, Scoot Henderson, and then he has the good game, I'll be like see. I told you, there you go. Perfect. Right. You know, if you like a player, you watch them through the lens of liking them. If you don't like a player, it also applies the same way. Like, if there's a player who I already know I don't really like and then I go back and do the draft tape, I may watch them through the lens. If everything that I'm seeing, I'm trying to steer towards a confirmation of what I originally thought. Great explanation. Love that. I was kind of like 90% there, but you know, it's one of those words you don't want to use wrong. I think you had it. Yeah. What about Occam's razor, Winhorse's favorite? Is that the one where? Go ahead. You explain it to everyone who doesn't know. Kyle knows you will do this for sure. What I think it's, isn't that the simplest solution is usually the right one? Okay. Yeah. I didn't know it right away. I don't know if it's wrong.
Murphy's law, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. That one I know. A little more powerful. Yeah, that was, I was always on my cove with Wilkane. Cause Wilkane would throw like a theory at you every now and then he'd be like, yeah, I remember one time straight up. He's like, do you know what this means? And he saw my delay. And I went, yeah. And he knew I didn't know. And that's a great co-host. Did he have mercy? Yeah, cause he was like, yeah, exactly. You know, to explain it to the audience. Cause I just was like, I don't, I don't, this is, this is tough. I choked. Stuff. Yeah. All right. Um, some emails. My husband says I pull three feet instead of three sheets. When I saw that, I immediately thought, oh, hey, your husband's right. You're wrong. You sleep in the same bed. You pull the sheets off of him. I don't know when the women got together to have a meeting about this, about just, we're going to start with the sheets. And then we'll have the right to vote. But look how late the women's suffrage movement was. Like it's, there's some reminders, but like that shouldn't have taken that long. That's a little ridiculous. Anyway, I believe, I believe I do. I believe a woman was elected to Congress before women could vote, which is one of the most weird outliers of all time. That's an interesting fact. I think we got to get IT on that. I wouldn't be shocked because anytime I'm reading about something, and then it just, it kind of comes back and you're like, wow, tough run there, tough run for the ladies. All right. So female listener, official stats, five, four basketball comp, lamello ball. I'm definitely flash over fundamentals. I have a sweatshirt with his face on it. And honestly, I really only watch the halftime shows. You've lost some equity with us here on that one. 1917, by the way, first woman elected to Congress. So dead right there, Steve. There you go. Right. I bet you the result timer is being like, and that's why the Titanic went down. Okay, fine. All right. Now I need you to help me dribble past a ridiculous argument. My husband started. He's basically become the official role referee. He recently caught, so this has nothing to do with betting. He recently called me out and said, I use, quote, three feet, three feet of toilet paper instead of three sheets. End quote, when I'm taking care of business. But here's the absolute kicker switching to this organic bamboo toilet paper was all caps bold his idea. Instead of staying with normal charm and double five, if you've ever used the bamboo paper, you know it's then trying to use just three sheets is a high stakes gamble. I use exactly enough to my liking because I want total protection. I like a secure, comfortable barrier. And anything less is just a hazard. Plus happy wife, happy life. Am I right? The best part of all this. He pretty much only handles his major business on his company's clock. Anyway, so he barely touches our rolls at home. He needs to put away the yards. So the yardstick and just let me roll in peace. Am I being totally unreasonable? I like a thinner sheet too. And I like to double triple up. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I just, I don't want to get too graphic, but I'm just saying I like it. I like the thinner. I like the thinner sheet. I think the number one thing is birthday present, Christmas present, the day seat. Here you go. Now we don't know. I don't want to hear it because you can, you can play in so much. And I know dudes are a little bit hesitant. You know what I mean? You might sit on that thing for a year before he turns it on. But the one he does, it's an absolute life changer. You have one right now? Yes. You still have to wipe your own butt afterwards, right? And then just wait. Yeah, if you want to be crash about it, yes, you do. But she's guy. But just, but it's, I mean, it's more of a drying. It's like a, it's like a one, two pass sort of deal. If you get one, I am a one with the air dryer in it, dude. I'm a big day new, admittedly, but like, how is there not also just like splashage everywhere? Like, how is there not just, how is it not just soaked to really clean in there? Yeah, come on. Yeah, it is. You're saying it is I'm on her side. I'm totally on her side. He's not there as well. Yeah. They're not there. It's a really personal choice, I think. And I don't think we should be policing, you know, if you ate half of the leftovers, yeah, we could talk about it. But if we're talking to our talk of sheet numbers, no. And then, you know, it's like a roommate that never comes home going, like, are you really going to put that table there? And you're like, oh, you're not here. Yeah, I would just, I would just hear it and be like, yeah, that's what I do. I don't think I defend myself. Like, that's what I do. Yeah, but I've definitely been known to use too much T.P. So, I can't, I can't even talk. As long as you're flushing the right amount and there's no, you know, you're not going to call anybody. It's fine. Yeah. Good plumbing. Put some water on that thing. Well, I will say my, we, you know, our daughter is in the process of being potty trained. And so she just likes to pull and pull and pull just have a huge old bundle in there. And well, that's fun. That's right. But it's like, we're talking number one here, too, by the way. And she's like, well, dad, I peed a lot. And I was like, logically, that does make sense. But it actually, like, having to explain that to her is just like, you know, it's a little bit mind numbing. But, you know, she just grabs like half the roll, dabs it, puts it in there. I'm like, great. Now I gotta get the plunger out. Here we go. My niece thinks it's funny to send me pictures while she's going through it. That's awesome. Wait, post like post. No, not not that bad. But I just told my sister I was like, yep, she's still cute. But let's go back to the outside stuff and picking flowers and yeah, you know, find a way to take her stuff out of her. She's proud of herself. She just wants to tell you, yeah. Yeah, she's getting there. So we're all rooting for. I would say like bigger picture, though, in relationships. And look, I'm not the easiest first couple of weeks because it's usually, you know, you know, so you're like, oh, great, you're putting my fancy steak that is in the dishwasher. Why are you putting the small spoons here? And I'm not acting like it's OCD. I think some people would just be like, when you're by yourself all the time and like your stuff is where it is. And then if you're heading out with somebody the long time and it's significant enough that they're like feeling comfortable to do things, like that person just kind of wants to be in it. And if you're a tight about this stuff, I would I'll know immediately like, hey, just fucking who cares which order the silverware is in. Like who can the now the steak knives, fancy steak knives in the dishwasher can be kind of above it. Say I'm a little bit of a dishwasher czar. Yeah, have you ever had a nice steak knife? It's known in the family. So if you know the plastic cups behind the glass ones, you're like, no, no, no, no, it's more it's more about like just maximizing space, you know, and then, you know, a poorly-noted dishwasher will drive you up a wall though. Yeah, and I was a whole bunch of good mindset me telling this, but like my mother-in-law loves to put like just full plates of food in the dishwasher. I'm like, you just you just can't do that. You can't do that. There's like chunks of meat on the plate. Like what are we doing? It's not going down the drain. Yeah, but I would say all of that stuff, all those like little things, be like, oh, that's how you do the pillows. Or that's how you think I think the men should just do who cares. All of us should just not care. Like let's get together and make a pact and not care because we kind of need another guy to say that to the guy though, you know what I mean? You can't report like I do right now. I know. I'm saying he needs someone to step in and say it to him because like the person he's upset with, like, there's a veil there that they can't be broken. If his dude is like, dude, you're being fucking crazy right now. Once you say right now, why are you relaxed? Right. That's like, there's nothing you could say to that. We're like, right, I shouldn't be so off time about this. I remember the first time I ever worked in a restaurant. I put a kitchen knife in the sink and another chef came by and was like, oh, you know, getting chef's handle stuff with I would say very little decorum. I will fucking kill you if you ever do this again. And I went, okay, well, this seems like stakes are high on this and it makes a lot of sense. If you can't see a kitchen in murky water, you know, in murky water and you're sticking your hands in and grabbing a cutting board out to clean it or whatever your load taking stuff out of the load of the dishwasher, we could have a really, really big problem. So it stayed with me. It stayed with me for a long time. And then I had it happen with somebody I was with and I'm like, and it was the worst. I was the worst. I was like, so what do we do when we're put in kitchen knives in the bottom of the sink? It was like, I can't say that. I'm taking it easy on you. That guy threatened to kill me and just give it to the lot. And I could see she was kind of like, what? horrified. But there's, I'll take any time I've ever done the kind of, okay, this is a disruption to you being by yourself all the time. And then having somebody else here that's going to start moving stuff around because they don't know the program. None of us, if I went to Cerrudi's house and was like tasked with doing something like that, I'm not going to do it the way he's always done it. Here's the point. It's none of it matters. None of it matters. And whenever I've caught myself, I'll just go, what are you doing? Who cares? It doesn't matter. And so when it comes to this, I hate when like little things like this can plant the seed or these become really an extension of some other issue that two people are having with each other, you know, and then you're freaking out. You're like, you know, and the little spoon should be closest to the outside because we're using them more often. The volume is so much higher. The usage rate, the big, who uses the big spoons? Oh, you know, and then it's like, what are you doing? What's the last time you had soup? Huh? Exactly. Yeah. Oh, Mrs. Burt, Mrs. Bone broth is here. We're all going to start having bone broth all the time.
Because you read about it. You heard it on a podcast. This is a little too close to home for me. I might need some self-reflection here I'm just proud of when I've caught myself going this doesn't matter don't Don't say anything. Do not care about it. Right. Like don't care about it. All right. Maybe we helps Rudy look So she should just tell them to relax. That's what we're saying. I Think she should just keep going. I think so too live on a college that's replaced the bamboo be like you're not even using it Mr. All natural. Yeah, really a day if the if she's if you're not clogging the toilet, you're doing you're doing fine I think that's the that's the best the ball can get a little annoying can get you know Yeah, if you're out if you're if you're if you're you know calling for help in there. Yeah, I guess imagine how are to use he'd go through like eight rolls You know, it's you know, it sucks though is he's probably doing it as a passive aggressive joke That's like over and over again like the three feet not three sheets like that. He probably thinks that's clever I'm saying for it. Yeah, that's it's funny a clever. That's a that's a bummer. Let me try to get two more in here Little handicap talk. All right. This will be for sorority six foot two oh five fifty five years old rowing machine Pilates lots of stretching there You go big guy doing it right. I'm going to the gym today. It's all stretching.

All right So still not that's it that's still an insane number um All before I was 50 I can walk great on flat surfaces But being on my feet for long periods climbing stairs the bayonet my existence caused me problems running in squatting or possible My vertical is less than an inch because of this I've had a handicap a handicap. Okay, so I thought this was on golf This is far more serious Um a handicap placard for years. I can't tell you how many times I get dirty looks or people mumbling under their breath when I get out of my car And yes, sometimes I board the plane early because it makes my life a little bit easier Well, I'll back you guys said you hate when you see what that happened Especially when the person doesn't look handicapped. So what should I do? Should I stop boarding early maybe the limp a little bit more and fatically should I give up my handicap placard until I'm older and look the part I know it's stupid and I shouldn't care what people think But it sucks having people think you were gaming the system Finally great friggin show by the way my right my wife Runs the timing company that times running races so if you ever want to know someone's 5k marathon Etc and he good we can tell you all right. We'll keep that all right. So this is far more serious. I'll tell you right now I get it because you're not that old and you're walking you're going to get the dirty looks I might even give you a dirty look at some point but what I know you Are not as somebody who struggles with portion control Because we had a portion control Queen the other day taking up a spot and you are like you're fine. Do you just You just you know I'll leave it at that. So man you I mean it would suck to have to get a t-shirt that just said I've had four knee replacements. I know Um, should there just be like levels, you know, but maybe they should color code them just based on like severities Just so you know, you know like I know my so the carons are aware color right like I'm a little I'm a grade one like it's not I have some trouble with my knees. Whatever you just know. It's like a low level situation So that okay, and then there's like okay. Yeah, this guy's full on quadriplegic like he has whatever highest level is like That just feels like it should be done. I want to say I feel for this guy. I feel bad for him right like none of us are saying he shouldn't have it right but Initially, I was gonna have to go totally flip me like you totally flip me. I don't remember saying that It sounds like something I would say. I'm sorry I remember and I just and I just remembered like Grot shocker like growing up with guys that like when they first started to drive and it's like I just grabbed my grandmother's placard and like Yeah, we're good right here. We're good right there like it's like it's a lot of times it wasn't them It was like someone in their family that they like borrowed this from or something, you know You know grandfather's dead We still got the thing as long as they don't notice the you know The the expiration date on it or where this one's good for a while like I just I've seen so much abuse of it I think I'm still gonna think that way even though I feel bad when I think that way about you But I don't think you should have to worry about it. I don't think I think you earned that placard Yeah, but it's still not what you have to do It's that he's still gonna like you're still gonna get looks like I know it's what he's doing the right thing like the parking spot I think that might just be charged to the game do what I'm saying do you do buy do buy a cane like you just like just and you only use it in public places, you know I don't think you should have to do buy a cane is the best advice Question in a long time. You know you just have just like just so like you you do kind of need it Like you you said you're when it's vertical like your knees hurt like walking around like maybe it's not the And it's not like I don't think that that's fully stolen valor And it also lets people know in public that okay. Yeah, like here's this and then you feel better by yourself Like I know you shouldn't have to do that, but I think it will make you feel better. Were you a member of a union or something You'd get a sticker and be like that guy probably did some work, you know I mean that's probably just a long life of working working hard, you know Yeah, or maybe you buy that you know buy the the US open half that I have it looks like the stolen valor hat You just wear something like that around so people get kind of confused and think that you might have served It's crazy. I actually thought you know, I was thinking when he was in the beginning of the email I was like man, you know, I did I didn't miss those early morning truck Unloads at Models, but by the end of the email. I was like nope. Never mind I don't know sometimes I think like I think this guy's have a harder This guy proved it wrong. I think but like sometimes I'm like, you know Would just like deliver packages like I'll just listen to podcasts all day like I know it's a little taxing on everybody I like driving personally. I don't really mind it I always have a debate with my wife. Yeah, but some people over a hundred pounds of cat littered And the old ladies like just bring it inside. Please yeah, then like two hours in. I'm like okay This is probably not the the fun job. I thought it might be but I also like to be by myself So it's like hey out just in the car all day by yourself. You know, it could be kind of that not that like I was saying like Models There was like three guys with us for their different departments like getting shit off and figuring out where it goes Like that guy's solo and whatever is in his truck is in his truck and he's just got to get it done And some people are ordering, you know, Poland spring water bottles, you know with five Like people order insane shit now to their house because they actually don't want to go to the store and bring it in And maybe UPS isn't the isn't where it comes, but I mean those Amazon guys are bringing all sorts of shit I mean silly things like you should just go get this yourself And there's too many Amazon stories, but there's like move the drill situations when somebody falls out of the factory in your life Second, we're we're supposed to keep working today. What's going on here? So I don't know. I'm probably disproving my own So it's not a dream job, but just how I thought about it All right, we'll see if we can think about stuff maybe get an application into this case things get real South quick I just see too many people where you go I've always as you said Kyle like I'm shocked when there's somebody that I would know that we like oh, I've got a placard I'm like you're just okay with and they their their process is Once I obtain this someone in the family or anyone has it. It's just for all of you out of dinner It's for all of us like what's wrong with you? And I'm like oh, so I'm wrong. I don't understand it and You've had real stuff and so I think it's it's a bit like When you're in the midst of a dilemma knowing that you're actually right during the dilemma and for this This isn't probably an everyday thing for you like just Just be at peace on the idea that I know I'm Right and I'm deserving of this and anybody that wants to look at me I mean, you don't want to start going down it strangers and be like I've had four. Yeah, so to say Let's not look yeah, right because if the guys big you're probably not going to be able to run away from all right Let's see That's so long. God that's so long Um and one. Yeah, we need a quick one That's a book Um five ten one eighty five solid dad bought never lifted to get bigger to stay in shape It started to get after a little bit more this year and get the bench up to two or five for the first time my neighbor broke My lawnmower and my question is how awkward do I make it we moved in our house five years ago two dollars both five Couple across the street as a girl the same age girls become friends and play together often that that part's gonna Make this break up tough my wife has become friends with a mother. Let's call her Carmen And they get together often for social events Carmen's husband. Let's call him Taylor's a little different from me and we've always been friendly But I'm good with the wave and the thirty-second meaningless conversation from across the street for us a few weeks ago Carmen asked my wife if they could borrow our pushmower because there's broken I came I come home from lunch and see Taylor mowing their yard with our mower no big deal when I go to leave my house our mower is in the driveway And when I start to push it in the garage I notice something's wrong with it It's hard to push and when I look more the part that raises and lowers the blaze He said he could use a fucking here cracked in half God looked at the yard and half of it is sculpt. It's beyond obvious that it
broke while Taylor was using it. My wife asked Carmen about it and her husband said nothing happened and it wasn't broken. I get stuck with $180 repair bill plus $40 to pay the kid down the street to mower yard while it's in the shop. I now refuse to interact with Taylor. Recently our families are all out at the same place together. I kept my distance from the group. I told my wife I'm done with Taylor and let's see admits to it makes it right. She said that makes it awkward for her because of her friendship with Carmen, but she knows I'm right. It looks like this guy's going to be in my life for a while. So where do I go from here? If the tables return I would have owned up to it immediately offered to pay for repairs for context. Both families have nice houses, good job. $180 isn't going to cause this financial trouble. The mower is only two years old and a quality brand. He has a feedback thing in there. We're just going to keep it moving. I think the great thing about this is you already didn't like him and it was pretty clear you weren't going to come friends and now the girls can keep playing. The wives can do whatever, but you have an awesome out like this. You think it's bad because he's going to be in your life for a while. But now you have a reason to never hang out with somebody you didn't want to hang out with in the first place. So it cost you $220 total. Yeah, the little brox tail thing right there. There you go. There you go. Yeah, it's a bummer. I think it's a bummer when you find out especially when you're like a dad in a neighborhood with other families like some people just aren't built like that. There are not built up. They're not built to own up to something that's even like so small, you know what I mean? They're just not and you think most people are and then you come across a guy's like he's really not going to admit this is insane. This is insane. And I can tell my reasons real quick. Do you think more people are like this guy or more people are like? What do you think that is? This is like the I think sometimes you don't know until they're faced with like something out of the ordinary like they're good like they have just enough spine for their day to day. And if anything weird happens though, he's a fucking wildcard like you know what I mean? No, but I'm talking like if we went I don't know. I don't know if you just keep it to Americans. So what are we looking at like 160, 170 men get out the kids? So you think it's 50, 50? Do you think it's actually like 90, 10? It's not 90, 10. That would only do that are just willing to do the right thing. Yeah, this is like the shopping car theory. Like probably seven are you a person who returns the shopping car or your person who just leaves it in parking spot to first to piss somebody else off later. And I think most people think that they would be the person who returns the parking the shopping car. I'm too. I am too. I don't want to be on that show. I like to believe in the better good. And I think it's I think it's the majority of people. I'd say 70, 30, but the 30 are real good at camel flushing as the 70, you know, until until like something happens. And then you have to see that they're the part of the 30. I hope so, buddy. I hope so. All right, thanks for Tom Kevin Kyle. And so are all of our episodes available on Netflix.
