Blitz Bama Blitz baby blitz Bama blitz baby. That's right. Yeah, we gotta talk about it
We gotta talk about the tide. Okay, cuz guess what? We don't give a piss about nothing but the tide
Nothing but the tide roll
Okay, we got a lot to talk about in this episode
But when I talk about college football first then we get into the meat and potatoes and the biscuits and whatnot of
NFL football, okay, the tide continues to roll on okay, Colorado
Just stomps stampede stomps UFC. Okay, they didn't just go just to Florida
Just to go to Disneyland. No, no, no, no, no, they went there with a mission
They went there with a goal they went there to seek and destroy and to stomp them out
And then that's exactly what happened. That's exactly what happened as well as
Kevin O'Connell has spoken out about quarterbacks in the or in the organization now
We'll say this it's a very very very very very very very
Weird time to talk about that only because of everything that's transpired with Bryce young
But we have a lot to talk about with all of that in more. Okay, as well as the Vikings
Possibly having the best offense. We're not even the best offense the best team in the league right now
The Eagles their wings are hurting right now. They're eagle there. Their wings are clipped. Okay, they're trying to fly
But they can't fly they can't do it right now because why the buccaneers?
Stomped them grilled them sauteed them rosary
not rosary rotisserie
Turned them off is this gonna be great episode as well as the chiefs are hurting
Okay, the chiefs are hurting the chiefs are in a situation the chiefs are
Basically like that little person from Spongebob where he came out of the
We came out of his house every morning. I break my arms and every night I break my legs
That's exactly what the chiefs are going through right now
Jacksonville
There's some trouble in Jacksonville man. Just everything is just happening in Florida. I don't know why man
It's I don't know what it is a lot of crazy things are happening in Florida
And you know what I think we do have to talk about the Ravens
I know it's not in my notes, but we do have to talk about the Ravens. Okay, all of this and more, okay on the 36th episode
Okay of the greatest football podcast you can possibly listen to on a week to week basis, okay?
I am your host, okay your chief head of the table your chief
Meteorologist not meteorologist bag row Domus, okay?
Because why my predictions they have come forth and they will continue to come forth because I am back row
Domus
Okay, I'm all these things and more okay, but the most important title that I am but wait
I forgot I'm currently a former GM who currently is not on the team right now
But guess what just know I got my draft board ready
I got my draft prospects ready and we're about to hit the road again
We're gonna start in Texas the great state of Texas. Okay. I am all of this and more but most importantly
I am your host
Your man with your man with the plan with the predictions and everything and more
Your man Kale, let's lock in. I
Don't give a piss about number the tide baby the tide the tide the tide the tide the tide the tide the tide
Did its thing on Saturday now? I will say this I will say this
I definitely thought the game was gonna be a whole lot better, but um
No
No, no, no, no, no, no this this was
Oh man, everyone was hyping. Oh, this is gonna be your preview for the playoffs and all this different type of stuff
Blah blah blah. No wasn't no wasn't because if this was this is the preview of a beatdown
Okay, this is the preview of someone getting the brakes beaten down
For four quarters straight. Okay, nothing but ruthless aggression. Okay now
Let's get into everything. All right, so
Bama and George have played on Saturday. I did watch the whole game. It was definitely really good game
I'm not gonna lie. It definitely was a really good game
It was worth watching but I think what needs to be talked about is the transition
That has transpired with Alabama now a lot of times when a team whatever
Whatever level that they are or that be and you know in college or even in the pros a lot of times
When they transition from you know a great player or even great coaching a lot of times there is a struggle, right?
And there hasn't really been a struggle so far. It really hasn't you know from them to transition from the greatness
That is Nick Saban all the way to now Kailin DeBoer
It's been it's been going well the offenses is is to me seems like it's more lethal
The defense is doing their thing all in all Alabama looks like they still got the juice
Okay, I don't care where anyone says I know George has been doing their thing. They've been having their time
They've been you know this than the other blah blah blah. I get all that but guess what the tide is back
It is back in full effect. Okay, so let's just get into these stat lines and then we would go from there, okay?
So I'm starting to do a little bit of a different format to breaking everything's up by the teams and whatnot
You know what listening to all right, so Jalen mill mill roll cornerback for the for Adela
Bama
27 for 20 27 for 33
374 yards 81.8 completion percentage to touchdowns one pick in a QBR of 98.5
Ryan Williams the receiver
legend
That's all I'm gonna say if you want to know what it is
Better yet. I'll just let you do it yourself legend six receptions
177 yards one touchdown. Okay now for Georgia side Carson Beck
27 for 50
439 yards a 54 completion percentage three touchdowns three interceptions in a QBR of
70.1 Trevor Etn 12 carries for 55 yards
4.6 yards to carry in one touchdown now when we look at this right
Leading into this there was this was definitely the preview of you know, not only for what the playoffs will look like
But as well as you know
Players that you know, they're they're draft stock may go up may go down
Even for the Heisman right a lot of a lot of things were riding on this game, right?
Because this game could determine if you were gonna be a second or third round pick or maybe even the first round pick
Not to mention it would also determine where you lie on the Heisman race
Okay, because if we can be real here, you know this I don't I don't think this is gonna be
You know this this type of Heisman race where it's gonna be a whole bunch of people
Why not know if we're being real here and this is just my personal opinion
I think there's probably less than six or seven people that are in my opinion
The clear-cut people that are going to be competing for the Heisman Jalen Milrow
Shador Sanders Travis Hunter and
I forgot his name. Oh
Ashton
Gene Gene Genesie Gentile. I don't know how pronounce your last name my bad, bro
Those are the people right now in my mind that are the clear-cut, you know
Competitors for the Heisman simply because of you know, just of well, you know what I'll I'll I'll get into that
I'll I'm gonna head myself. I'm definitely gonna head myself. But when we look at this
This game definitely showed a lot that no matter what Georgia does Alabama still has their number, right?
Alabama has been the kryptonite for Kirby Smith for the last few years now, right?
And you know even even now you people would have thought okay
They got a new head coach things might be different their culture might be different all those different types of things
No, it is still the same way. They are still doing the same things and it shows Jalen Milrow
Probably had one of his best games last night. I mean Saturday night. He was doing him
He looked like Lamar Jackson on Saturday night. I'm talking about he was rushing making touchdowns
He was throwing everything was just connecting everything. It was like art
That's the best way to describe it. It was like art and
You know when we look at this
This is a situation where you know Jalen Milrow looks he he looks more polished
He looks more effective as a passer
He just looks all around like a really good quarterback
Because in my mind leading up to this game
I felt that Jalen Milrow was probably gonna be a late a late first round
Maybe an early second round pick but after Saturday night after Saturday night's game
I would not be surprised if he's drafted a little bit higher. I would not be surprised only because
He he bowled out. He did his thing. He did his thing not to mention Ryan Williams
Keep right on him keep right on Ryan Williams because Ryan Williams is
That is a beast a beast of a receiver a
Beast okay when he made that one catch and then he juke the two George defenders and then score the touchdown come on man
Come on man. Come on man. Man. Man. Oh man. Oh man Ryan Williams
Keep your eye on Ryan Williams and mind you. I think he's only
17 or 18 years old
greatness
Greatness now moving on to Colorado because I'm gonna dedicate this first part to college football
Colorado Colorado
Whoo Colorado did their thing. Okay, Colorado
Stampeded you UFC. Okay, they did their thing. They they bawled out. Okay, and you know
It definitely showed a lot
Shador is starting to say Shador is looking more comfortable in the pocket
He the the the protection is starting to get better. Everything is a starting to look really good for the offense and that's great
That's what that is what we have been looking for up into this point because
It's starting to look a little bit shaky in in the earlier parts of of the college football season
But now it's starting to look like they've gotten to you know, they're starting to you know, figure things out, which is great
It's absolutely great because you know
When you look at them on Saturday
They were starting to rely more in the running game and even when they did guess what they were parting the Red Sea
They they you're talking about
huge
Open lanes for the running back to go through. I'm talking about they are moving people away. Okay, if you want to see a
Security detail these are the people that you need because guess what they're gonna move people out the way and that's exactly what they did
Now before we move any further though, I do I do think it's it's time
We address something though that has that needs to be talked about. Okay, and that's a metric that you know
I have gotten over and I have said a few times and you're probably wondering. What is it?
QBR, right? So QBR, okay, it's basically it's a metric. Mmm. That's trick metric
Okay, that is based off of play-by-play
Such as you know down distance fuel position clock score and everything else, right?
And so basically it is a metric to determine exactly the performance of a quarterback, right?
And basically they have a scale so the scale is from zero to a hundred. Okay, 50 is is considered average
Okay, anything above 75 is considered of course above average, right and anything below 25 is considered trash
Okay, now the elite quarterbacks a lot of them have you know, their their QBRs are mainly in the 80s and 90s and whatnot
So whenever you hear QBR remember those remember those numbers. Okay, that's a junkie knuck it for you
So when we look at things right in sort of sort of entail that to you know back into the conversation with college football
Jaylin Milrow if he was the basis if he was the base everything by his QBR had a had an acceptable
Can't speak an exceptional game, right?
Compared to Carson Beck Carson Beck basically had a somewhat average to slightly above average
Game and then we look at Shador Shador had an above average game 89.1 and then KJ
Jefferson had somewhat of a below average type of game now when we look at things going back to Colorado as well
Shador Sanders basically was 28 for 35
290 yards 80% 80 can speak 80 completion percentage as well as
Three touchdowns one pick right Travis Hunter legend nine receptions for 89 yards
9.9 yards per reception and a touchdown. Okay, that's for Colorado now for the other side
Okay, UCF so KJ Jefferson was 20 for 35
284 yards a 57.1 completion percentage two touchdowns two picks and a well
I always had the QBR, but I'll just say it again
24.9 QBR and then we look at RJ Harvey
He was 16 carries for 77 yards
4.8 yards a carry his receiving stats on the other hand for receptions 92 yards
23 yards per reception and one touchdown now when we look at this
Colorado was being dominant on all levels of the game. Okay, when we look at it
You know, they were just as dominant on offense as they were on defense, right?
And you know, if we're being real here, they're doing their thing. They're doing it. See this is when you can have
Celebrities on the sideline and the celebrations in the locker room on those different types of things, right?
This is when you can do it because you're winning, but you cannot do it when you're not winning, right?
That's that's the that was my only point that I was trying to put out there when I was sort of not necessarily
Scalding Colorado, but sort of like talking about there there that debacle with with Colorado is
It's okay for certain things to happen when you're winning, but when you're not winning
That's when you have to focus right and so, you know, this sort of is another sort of, you know
Full-front moment is this, you know
How can I say this? The race for the Heisman is very it's gonna be very close
It's gonna be very very very close because have
Charles I mean not Charles not not yet. You have Travis Hunter who was doing something that
Only Charles Woodson and Dion has been able to do right you have Shador Sanders. Who's balling you have J.
The Monroe who's balling and then you have that running back from from Boise State
Who is also balling as well?
Do you want to know his carry? Do you want to know his stats right now folks his stats right now this season?
82 carries for
845 yards 13 touchdowns and he averages
10.3 yards of care. I'm gonna say that again a little bit closer into the mic so you can understand what I'm saying
Ashton Jen Jean Jean tree. I don't you know what I don't even know how to pronounce his last name
But just ashton Boise State if you go on ESPN type in Ashton, he's the first person pop up. Okay?
82 carries for
845 yards 13 touchdowns
10.3 yards per carry
Now when we look at the other games, right?
They're their game on the 28th
26 carries for 259 yards for touchdown 10 yards a carry when we look at the game that they had on the 21st
11 carries for 127 yards
11.5 yards a carry when we look on the 7th. Okay 25 carries for 192 yards 3 touchdowns
7.7 yards a carry. Okay when we look at it
I feel like those are gonna be the main people that everyone is gonna be focused on for the Heisman
I truly believe that and I think you know for someone like Travis Hunter
I think it's really gonna come down between him and Shador. I really do
I think whoever has the better performance out of the two
I think will represent, you know, Colorado when it comes to the Heisman now
Do I think it could be Travis Hunter over Shador?
I don't know because again the Heisman is a little bit tricky because it is a
It's an award that you know, there has just as many quarterbacks as there is running backs in the Heisman
You know group collector whatever you want to call it, right?
And there's not a whole lot of people like what Travis Hunter and Charles Woodson and Dion has has been able to do right?
So it's just a lot, but you know stay tuned because I'm telling you when we get close to the Heisman
Then we're gonna go we're gonna go deep. We are going to do a deep dive into everything
I'm telling you we're gonna be doing cars football
episodes soon, so just stay tuned now
Let's get into the real
Meats and potatoes of what everything is going on in the league. Okay now Kevin O'Connell
Vikings head coach had something to say that I think definitely needs to be talked about definitely needs to be discussed
So I think on the rich eyes and show if I'm not mistaken. He basically was asked about you know
his opinion on quarterbacks and you know
Organizations and those different types of things and I'm guessing this is all because of what's been going on with the whole
Bryce young situation, right?
And so this is basically what he says and I quote
Organizations fail young quarterbacks before young quarterbacks fail
Organizations now this is what I will say
He is he does have a point
He does have a point because when we look at it a lot of times the quarterback does not have
the control of going in dictating where they wanting to go right now the only person I was able to do that was Eli
right and
You know he only did that because of the pool that he had and the influence that he had and the name that he comes from
Right when you think of manning that's power in the NFL
Okay, and a lot of times when these quarterbacks these these really good quarterbacks get drafted
they are drafted into some very crappy situations and
When you are drafted into a crappy situation that is the organization's fault
It is it is the organization's fault because the organization is supposed to be able to
Surround the incoming quarterback with necessary weapons and tools in order for them to be successful
Right because if you don't guess what's gonna happen. They are not going to last
They're not and we're seeing that with this whole incident with Bryce young. We're seeing it. Okay?
He came into a situation where he does not have a whole lot, you know to work with he doesn't and
You know, we have seen countless time and time again of a lot of quarterbacks who they are put into crappy situations
You know with the expectation that they are supposed to turn this team into a playoff caliber team
And it doesn't happen and why doesn't that happen because?
They are only one person and they can't do everything they can
From Sam Darnold to Baker Mayfield to now Bryce young and more a lot of quarterbacks
Do have have gone through the struggles?
Because they are put into crappy organizations
That's why a lot of times a lot of quarterbacks will prefer to be in a stable
organization like the Ravens the 49ers the Rams the buccaneers the Steelers for for instance
Because why there is stability right there is a set level of hierarchy
That is established and will not go away. It is strong their foundation is strong
Compared to a dysfunctional organization such as the Jaguars the Browns the Jets
The Cowboys sorry Cowboys fans and more right
Those are the type of teams where it is very dysfunctional
You have a lot of decision-making that is based off of emotions and likes instead of who is going to be able to win me games
Who is going to be able to be the best candidate to take us to the next level right?
That's what it is. That's why you always see the same teams always being in the top five or top ten within
The NFL draft because why a lot of times the organizations are disorganized
It is and that's why you see teams like the Raiders who for you know the longest time
They've been trying to relive, you know their glory days and they can't do it because why they get in their own way
Same thing with the Jaguars. They can their own way even the Browns
They get in their own way and it bites them in the ass
Every single time it does because when we look at this right?
Kevin O'Connell is
Has basically been has basically revitalized Sam Darnold's career
Because when Sam Darnold was coming from the Jets he was basic and then he got traded to the Panthers
He was basically a bust
He was a bust at that point
Sam Darnold's career
Was was basically headed to being a career backup
That is basically going to be competing to try to see if he can maybe get into a starting quarterback role
That's basically where he was and for him to be in the situation where he is now and he is thriving
And this is the best version of Sam Darnold that we have seen that teams were looking to see
When he was coming out of USC, it's amazing. It is amazing because why the Vikings have won. They have very stable organization
They have stability with their head coach stability within their, you know, just just there's just the stability everywhere
And when there's stability everywhere, guess what you can thrive off of that compared to a whole bunch of chaos where you're hearing a bunch of
rumors and leaks and whatnot coming from the team
How in the world can you be able to to?
You know live in that you can't it's it's like it's basically like somebody who says okay
I can live in filth or whatnot and then they experience living in a nice clean house or whatnot
They're gonna lose their minds because why they're like wow everything is just so organized so nice and
This than the other all those different types of things and that's why
That is somewhat and that was sort of something that I forgot to talk about when I was talking about
In other previous episode that you know
The price of having those top five picks
Because guess what you get to choose whoever you want to choose right if you want to go after that detackle that you like
You can do it if you want to go after that corner that you like you can do it if you want to go after that running back
You can do it, but the price is this if they don't work out
What are you gonna do next? What are you gonna do next?
Because either way you look at it either way you slice it dice it roll it up and send it out
The fact of the matter is the organization has the power to determine if we are going to tank a year
Or if we're going to try to compete to get into the playoffs
They have the power to do it not the quarterback the organization does now
Being in which of Kevin O'Connell
The vikings have been doing their thing. Okay, the Vikings have been coming off as
You know basically one of the best teams in the league if we're being real here and you know
Originally Sunday, I wanted to watch the Steelers, you know the six times six times six times. Yeah, I know blah blah blah
I wanted to watch them play right and the only team only team I was able to watch was the Vikings and Packers game
And at first I was like, ah man, this ain't gonna be a good game. I'm glad I watched it
Sam Darnold lit it up that defense lit it up
they were doing their thing and
You know if we can be real here and in this and and just you know just just in this in this moment
I do think if Brian Flores continues on the pace that he is on right now
And if this defense goes down, you know this season as statistically
You know top five in every major category
Brian Flores will get another head coaching job
He he will simply because that you know if we're being real here
He is doing this with a first round rookie pass rusher and Dallas Turner
You have Harrison Phillips and you know in the middle you have Harrison Smith in the backfield
You have Gilly on one side. You have Brian Murphy Jr.
I don't even know who the other cornerback is you're doing this with a roster with with a defense that a lot of people will consider
You know, it's not the best and you know, it don't have an all-pro. They don't have the Neil Hunter blah blah blah
They're doing their thing
They're doing their thing anytime you have Brock Purdy
After game to come up to you and say hey you guys scheme does really well that says a lot
That says a whole lot and they've been doing their thing and they will continue to do their thing if if we're being real here
You know
When we look at these stats, right? Cuz I'm actually about to better yet. You know what?
Let's just get into the stats. So Sam Darnold was 20 for 28
275 yards three touchdowns one pick
9.8 yards per attempt and a 71.4 completion percentage, right?
Also, here's a little junkie nugget for you
He is the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to win and have two or more passing touchdowns in each
offers of his first four starts 14
It's big accomplishment in my books
Aaron Jones
22 attempts for 93 yards 4.2 yards per carry and three three rushes for 10 plus yards, right?
Compared to Jordan Love who was 32 54
389 yards for touchdowns three picks a
7.2 yards per attempt fifth a 59.3 completion percentage, which is really not that good
Jaden Reed, okay eight targets for seven receptions
139 yards one touchdown eight averaged
19.9 receiving yards per reception
The Vikings were being dominant on both sides of the ball, okay?
They were not letting up they were making just as many plays on the defense as they were on the offense, okay?
They were doing their thing. I would not be surprised if the Vikings gave
Sam Darnold an extension because as of right now, he's played very well
He has he he has done his thing
Because when we when we look at this, you know
Leading into this a lot of people will the running notion was it was probably gonna be between JJ McCarthy and
Sam Donald who were gonna compete for the starting, you know quarterback job and then once
Unfortunately, JJ McCarthy got hurt and then Sam Donald came in everyone's like, ah man Sam Donald gonna do Sam Donald things
He's gonna stink it up this down the other blah blah blah
No
Sam Donald is on a tear right now. Okay, Sam Donald is doing his
His thing chicken wing. Okay, but the thing is this right?
This all goes back to a conversation that we have had in other previous episodes. We're just Kevin O'Connell come from
I'm gonna let you think about that
Times up he comes from the Sean McVeigh tree. Yes. Yes. He comes from a Sean McVeigh tree
Which again goes back to something that needs to be talked about
teams are
Are
Licking their chops to go after people who come from the Sean McVeigh and Kyle Shanahan tree
Because it works
It has worked for the quarterback. Okay when we look at this
When Kevin O'Connell got got um
Got Kurt Cousins, right? Everyone was thinking. Okay, Kurt Cousins. He's probably gonna be middle middle of the pack and whatnot
He was putting up numbers. He was putting up some serious numbers
You know once Kevin O'Connell was was the head coach for the Viking serious numbers. Okay?
Then you have that transition to where they even had Josh jobs. Josh jobs was doing his thing as well
Then once those two went away now you have JJ McCarthy and Sam Donald. Sam. Donald is doing his thing
I can only imagine what's gonna happen when
JJ McCarthy gets healthy and he gets an opportunity to play
If we're being real here, I don't know what it is
But just their keen eye for
You know
For the quarterback position has just been amazing. It's been amazing both of those systems have been amazing
they have done a phenomenal job from
Jimmy Garoppolo from turning him into a bum to a really good quarterback to sam darnold, you know from a bus to
To some people you probably would say an MVP candidate and more right?
They're doing their thing. They're doing their thing. They're doing their thing. They're doing their thing
And it's only up from here
I would not be surprised if the Vikings are deep in the playoffs this year not to mention
I wouldn't be surprised if they try to pull off a crazy trade. I wouldn't I'm just saying it. I'm just saying folks
Okay, don't hate me hate the men. Well, don't hate the messenger, but don't hate me. I'm just
Addressing what I see with my eyes now moving on to the Eagles and the blacks, you know what do I want to talk about them?
Yeah, you know what? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's let's let's get them out the way. All right. Let's get them out the way
Nobody really cares about them, right?
Eagles in the buccaneers. What's the best way to put this?
saute
grilled fried pan seared
uh
Put on in on an iron skillet with uh some butter rosemary thyme and make sure you you you basted very well and
Let it cool down and then serve it, you know to to the buccaneers because the buccaneers cook the eagles. Okay, cook them
Cook them. I'm talking about Gordon Ramsay was able to pick it apart
Seize it up real good saute it real good do everything that he had to do
Okay, because wow this eagles team is struggling. It is struggling. This is not good folks
This is not good. Remember those reports that were coming out during the offseason that basically we're saying
Nick Sariani and Jaylen Hertz were not seeing eye to eye
It's starting to show more and more the cracks are getting bigger within that Eagles locker room
And I would not be surprised by Thanksgiving
You're going to hear more and more and more stuff about what's going on in there
Because at this point the ship is sinking
Jaylen Hertz has looked like he has significantly
Hmm. I can't even came to speak. It's definitely the coffee
significantly regressed since Shane Stikings departure
And you know, it's it's not looking good. It's not looking good for both parties
And the team will be willing to move off of Nick Sariani to justify the extension that they gave for Jaylen Hertz
They were going to be willing. They are
They are willing to do that now
And this this is a conversation that that I have with Moopy before I recorded this
You know, if I'm the eagles you have to make a move
You have to make a move. You have to do something in order to to silence the outside noise
Temper things down and to try to get everybody refocused on winning you have to
At this point because if you don't
Things are not going to look good for for Thanksgiving. Okay, somebody's going to lose their job come Thanksgiving
And it's going to be Nick Sariani because so far this offense has been stagnant
the offense has been struggling without their star players and
You wouldn't you wouldn't think it would be this bad
If you would have told me that the eagles would would be playing as bad as they are right now
I would have called you a liar. I would have they are not playing well
They are not the buccaneers had their way. They were cleaning house left and right
But let's get into these stats though stats going to tell us everything. Okay. Well not everything
I contradicted myself a lot. I don't know. Let's just get into the stats. Okay
Jaylen Hertz 18 for 30 158 yards one touchdown 5.3 yards per attempt a 60 completion percentage, right 60 percent
Uh completion percentage say quads the quad
10 attempts for 84 yards 8.4 yards per carry. All right
And I was looking bigger mayfield right baker
Baker mayfield. Okay 30 for 47 30 347 yards two touchdowns seven point yards
7.4 yards per attempt a 63.8 completion percentage, right?
And then Mike Evans the goats
14 targets for eight receptions 94 yards one touchdown
11.8 yards 11.8 receiving yards per reception 34 yards after catch. Okay, the buccaneers generated
This is a junkie nugget by the way the buccaneers generated the highest pressure rate
since
2021 against the eagles at 48.6
Guys
Folks, this is not good. This is not good. Fly eagles fly. No cook eagles cook
This is not good
This is not good. This roster was built to win immediately. Okay
There's not their window is closing and is closing a little bit faster
And the only way that they can slow things up is that they have to make a change
They have to make a pivot at this point you have to because if you don't
You're going to hurt yourself more than actually help yourself, right?
Because you have to you have to win a Super Bowl to justify everything that they have done so far. They have to
And you know, I wouldn't be surprised if if bill belchaga is their first is their first option
Because with bill you're going to have structure. You're not going to have all this foolishness
And you know exactly what you're getting with bill, right? Because again, Nick Siriani
You're talking about somebody who relies too much on his emotions who wears his emotions on his sleeve
Who is just emotionally driven with a lot of the things that he do and you don't need that in the most dire situations
You need a coach who is focused on winning who is focused on okay
It's too it's past a two minute warning. We have two timeouts. We're trying to prevent them from scoring or we're trying to score
Real quick. Okay. We need to do this this this this we don't need a coach who is
You know jarring with players on the sideline or you know jarring with
You know the the refs and whatnot. You don't need that you need stability and right now. Nick Siriani is not doing that
That relationship between Nick Siriani and Jaylin hurts that it's going to a divorce
Okay, double Christmas for the kids
Double Christmas for the kids now
Now
Moving on to the other the other team that needs to be talked about. Okay, so jaguars and Texans
Jaguars have been ass
Okay, they have been trashed. They have been
Horrible they have been extinct from a w. Okay extinct from a w. It is horrible
Okay, now when we look at this
Trevor Lawrence 18 for 33
169 yards two touchdowns 5.1 yards per attempt in the 54.5 completion percentage tank biz of
Bigsby seven attempts for 90 yards 12.9 yards per carry two rushes for
Two rushes of 10 plus yards or more
Brian Thomas nine targets for six receptions 86 yards one touchdown
14.3
receiving yards per reception the last time the jaguars won was november 26 2023 against who the Texans
weird coincidence, I think not. Okay. Now when we look at CJ's uh CJ Stroud
27 for 40
345 yards two touchdowns 8.6 yards per attempt 60 in a 67.5 completion percentage, right
Cam Acres 13 attempts for 53 yards 4.1 yards per carry and one rush of 10 plus yards or more
Nico Collins 15 targets for 12 receptions
yards one touchdown
12.6 receiving yards per reception and 63 yards after the catch now when we look at all of these stats and whatnot
Trevor Lawrence has just been trash. He has not done anything
since getting that deal he won't where is he?
Where is he? What what has he been doing? If this is
Absolutely atrocious that we have seen
from you know from Trevor Lawrence
and granted I understand that
You know, they they lost Calvin Ridley and all those I I get all of that. But this is just absolutely
horrible. Okay, they are the only team in the league right now that does not have a W
does not have a W think about that that does not have a W
The Panthers have a W before the Jaguars and the Panthers don't even have a better offense
Then the oh my god, this is just horrible. This is just horrible
and then when you have Doug Peterson
Who comes out and he makes the the the stupid, you know claims and whatnot. It's just stupid. It really is
You know, the better you got I'm gonna read the quote what he said. Okay
This is what he said and I quote as coaches. We can't go out there and make the plays, right?
It's a two-way street. So, you know, you guys can sit here and point the finger all you want and it's fine
Fine point it point it right at me. I can take it. Okay
I can take it. So whatever you want to ask me say whatever
I'm sorry, but you you can't continue to point the finger at other people and then blame this on the players and whatnot
Because guess what you have to give them the play
You have to give them the play. They don't go out there and just do willy-nilly. No, you give them the play
You're the head coach. You are in control of when they're winning and when they're losing
And you know, if I'm Doug Peterson, my seat is hot. It's starting to get hot
It's starting to get hot
And you know, this this is a situation where you know at some point, you know
This relationship as well is probably going to end as well. I think it's it's reached
It's ceiling and I don't think it's going to go anywhere farther because
Doug anytime you have a coach that is not being accountable
For you know for for the loss and just you know, the lackluster performance that the entire team has been putting out
That says a lot about you it does and
you know
It's it's it's just a nasty situation with the amount of talent they have on that team
It's a nasty situation and anytime you say something like that
Things start to things start to happen in that locker room
People start talking and when people start talking, it's not going to be good
It is not going to be good at all. But I mean I I could
Pardon me wants to feel bad for them. But at the same time, it's like, you know
Any anytime you you try to put blame on other players
And make it seem like oh
It's their fault that that we're not winning. It's their fault with this
It's the it's their fault with that. No, because guess what you have the power to dictate. Okay, we're going to do this play
Or we're going to do that play. Okay. Now we're
Scrapped that we're going to do this we're going to run this you have the power to do all all those different types of things
You're the head coach. So why don't you do head coaching things?
Wouldn't be the Steelers
It would not be the Steelers. I'll tell you that now
Moving on to something that I probably have not talked about but probably do need that probably does need to be talked about though
It is the Ravens the Ravens are doing Raven things. Okay, they're back to the
To the winning and being dominant and whatnot. And you know, this this was not
This was not in my notes, but I think it does need to be talked about it doesn't need to be addressed
um
The Ravens put on the game
Good god, they put on the game. They were dominant Derek Henry looked like the Derek Henry of old. Okay
Lamar Jackson still doing his thing. He is that guy. You understand me? He is that guy
And you know, this is this is the Ravens team that people were expecting to see
You know those first three weeks of the season now, grand I get it
You know, it's first three weeks of the season still going through the you know
The bumps and bruises the ups and downs and everything I get all of that
I I do and all those games were very close games and they were all winnable games and you know
Things happen, you know referees are getting in the way. You know whatnot, you know toes and whatnot
But hey, you know, that's what happens. But you know, they are they're on a roll
They're on a roll and the the most dangerous version of the Ravens is is when they're on a roll
When that run game is is it's starting to get hot when that passing game is starting to get hotter
And then that defense is doing his thing. Oh my god, you got yourselves a problem. Okay. Oh and by the way
Moog I'm going to continue to say it. I was right
I was right
Because I have a friend named moogmeister who you know when when when the news dropped that the Ravens were signing
Kyle van Nooyen. Oh my god, he was losing it
He was losing his mind. He was like, oh man, this is a horrible signing like bro
You gotta relax man. This is gonna just watch just watch now. He can't say he can't say nothing wrong about calvin
Amen
I'm that guy. I'm him. You know, I'm him. I'm hymathy hymny tron, you know
hymny
That's who I am. That's who I am. But you know, this is somewhat of a breaking. What is it breaking news?
Isn't that breaking news? I don't know. But we do need to talk about it though before I end this episode though
Devante Adams is getting shocked. Yeah
Yeah, you heard it first. You heard it here first. That's right folks. He is getting shocked right now
There are league sources that are reporting that the Raiders are shopping devante Adams around
Now this is what I will say to anybody that is trading for devante Adams
I think you have to be a little bit weary
But at the same time open about it because he's still he's still an elite receiver
But I think it's the financial part that is very
daunting and the reason why I say that is because when you look at the style of his contract, it's back loaded
It's back loaded
And the problem with with back loaded contracts is
Even if you do a restructure
That doesn't necessarily guarantee that you know, you'll still be able to have the freedom to be able to do
You know to to move around and have the flexibility
It doesn't and a lot of times it actually puts you in a worse situation
Even if you was to do a restructure of devante Adams's contract
It's still a lot that you have to take on it's still a lot now granted
You know the Raiders can't ask for you know, two first round picks or a first and a second. No
You can you for real for you can get the you can get the vante Adams for a day three pick
You can get them for probably maybe a conditional fourth that can maybe turn into a third at this point in in his career
You really could now
Do I think teams are going to be inter interested? Yes. I think teams like the Steelers
um
The chiefs and others will be interested
But I think the problem with all of this is
A lot of the teams that are interested in him are guess what they're still in the a fc
So, I mean there's not a whole lot of teams on the nfc that really need someone like a devante Adams
It's more of the a fc that that's those are the teams that've been depleted and really need a receiver
So it's like, you know, what do you do? Are you going to send him to the jets that reunite with Aaron rogers?
Are you going to send him to the Steelers?
Are you going to send him to the Ravens?
You you damn sure not going to send him to the chiefs because that's your division rival
You're going to see him twice. You don't want to do that, right? Right, right, right? I don't know. Maybe I don't know
Omar pick up the phone do something. I don't know but i'm going to end it here
