Okay, we're gonna talk about the jets all whole lot 29 00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:59,340 But don't you worry about that? Okay, so Joe Douglas former GM for the jets was fired 30 00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:04,660 Okay, flat out fired now before we get into all the you know 31 00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,700 Intangibles of who he has he drafted as well as you know his record 32 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,420 Let's just get into the statement that was put out by you know current owner Woody Johnson 33 00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:20,860 So this is what he said and I quote today. I informed Joe Douglas. He will no longer serve as the general manager of the New York jets 34 00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:27,700 I want to thank Joe for his commitment to the jets over the last six years and wish him and his family the best moving forward 35 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,540 Phil Savage will be the intern general manager for the remainder of the season 36 00:03:31,540 --> 00:03:35,620 We will begin the process to identify a new general manager 37 00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:43,100 Immediately now before we get into any more of the rants, okay before we start though the whole rant process and whatnot 38 00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:51,140 Let's get into some of the notable players that he has drafted. Okay, so under Joe Douglas's regime. He has drafted sauce 39 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,380 Garret Wilson Jermaine Johnson 40 00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:59,720 Breeze Hall will McDonald Braylon Allen Michael Carter and more okay 41 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:07,140 Those are some of the notable ones that he's drafted that been successful now his record has been 30 and 64 42 00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:09,140 So yes, the record does not look that good 43 00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:15,620 But when we really look at it, you know, he has hit as well as miss just like any other general manager has 44 00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:17,980 But you know for 45 00:04:18,020 --> 00:04:20,560 For this to be somewhat of a curveball 46 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:27,140 No, it really isn't because you could tell that at this point in the season, they're ready to clean house 47 00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:32,420 Right. The jets are ready to just you know hit the nuke button 48 00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:39,220 Reach off of the deck and see what they have and you know, if it's a good hand, they roll with it if it's not a good hand 49 00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:43,020 Then they're just gonna keep pushing but you know, if you're Joe Douglas 50 00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:49,460 This is a blessing in the skies because now the opportunity to give yourself a little bit of lee leeway for the next two or three years 51 00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:53,700 Work under a front office build your reputation up a little bit more 52 00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:58,860 And then you know when there is an opening that you feel like you could possibly get then you go after and you get it 53 00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:05,220 Not to mention he does have numerous connections with you know current GMs right now in the league Andy Wightle, of course 54 00:05:05,820 --> 00:05:11,460 The the Ravens because he did start, you know with the Ravens or whatnot in other places 55 00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:15,660 So oh no, it's not a somber moment for Joe Douglas 56 00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:19,980 It's actually a great moment because again the jet season is continuing to crumble 57 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:24,880 But at the same time there is criticism that does have to go on Joe Doug 58 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:34,160 Doug was his lap and the fact of the matter is you know, you guys went out of your way to get Aaron Rogers, right? 59 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,160 You guys sent multiple planes to get Aaron Rogers 60 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:47,640 And then you decided to get all of his buddies together and so far it has been nothing but a shit show 61 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,400 And I mean exactly what I said and I am not cutting that out 62 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,840 It has been an absolute shit show and the reason why I say that is because 63 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,800 you cannot make the move that you did to go after Aaron Rogers and 64 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:12,600 Not face any backlash from it, you know and granted, you know that this could probably be a topic where I could be raging and you know 65 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Freaking out yelling doing more cussing or whatnot, but it wouldn't solve anything the fact of the matter is the jets have underperformed and 66 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,400 This was a big hype up and now it has basically fallen straight to the ground 67 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,520 From the offseason where they had hard knocks and they were documenting the whole thing and the whole media hype and you know 68 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,280 Aaron Rogers or sauce was you know going to games together and everything and you know 69 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:43,440 Everybody was thinking oh the jets are gonna be a problem gonna be a problem 70 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,400 I was telling people this when they when they made the trade that this was not going to end well 71 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:57,240 Okay, because Aaron Rogers does not have that gene in him to compel the team to be better 72 00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:01,260 Right because when we look at things right when we look at all the famous 73 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,840 Quarterbacks that have went to second teams and won championships Tom Brady paint many myth in Matthew Stafford 74 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560 They all won championships. They all won 75 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,560 Aaron Rogers has it. Let's really be real here. Let's have a real honest conversation here 76 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,860 if you really expected that an 77 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,480 Aaron Rogers led jets team was actually going to do something you are just 78 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,960 You're out of your mind 79 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Because you could see that the right was on the wall that at some point 80 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,880 He is going to start pointing the fingers 81 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,280 He is going to start throwing people under the bus and then sooner or later people are going to start getting fired 82 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,680 And who was the first person to get fired? 83 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,400 Robert solid and since Robert solid has been fired. They have not done well that defense has not been well 84 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,840 Nor has that offense and some of that does fall on who Aaron Rogers his lap 85 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:02,140 And that also falls on Joe Douglas's lap as well because guess what you should have the know-it-all to realize listen 86 00:08:02,140 --> 00:08:08,660 Why in the world should I mortgage myself with a 40 almost 40 year old quarterback? 87 00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:14,980 Who during the last two or three years of his tenure with the Packers? They were horrible 88 00:08:14,980 --> 00:08:20,140 It was toxic. Why in the world would I want to bring that into my into my young locker room? 89 00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:22,420 Why and polluted and 90 00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:29,480 Now you're in a situation where now guess what you just wasted another year. You basically wasted two years 91 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,640 Because you were thinking that this guy was going to be the one that was going to take you to the promise lane 92 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:42,080 No, the only place that he has taken you is to the junkyard and that is the truth because now you are in a situation 93 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,080 Where you have tailor made this team? 94 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,240 specifically for Aaron Rogers and now you have to reshuffle the deck all over again now you have to prioritize 95 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,760 getting a quarterback and 96 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,000 To make matters worse the quarterback draft class is not even really that strong 97 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:07,240 Next year sure you have Shadour Sanders and sure you have cam ward and sure you have Carson Beck and Quinn Ewers and Jackson 98 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,040 Dart and others 99 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,720 But the fact of the matter is it's not that strong 100 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,360 The only two quarterbacks that you can say right now are first-round picks as cam ward and Shadour Sanders 101 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,160 Everybody else is up in the air now Quinn Ewers 102 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640 You could probably make a case that he probably could be a 103 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:30,120 A first-round pick depending on how the season goes with Texas, but the fact of the matter is 104 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Carson Beck is not a first-round pick 105 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:38,200 Jackson Dart is not a first-round pick Jalen Milrow is not a first-round pick 106 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:46,200 So now you have to allocate more resources to the quarterback position because you thought that this guy this veteran guy 107 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Would solve all your answers and all that he has done is created more problems 108 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:57,440 Created more rift in your locker room and now he is going to force a lot of your young players 109 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,240 To leave the team because they don't want to deal with this toxicity no more. I would not be surprised 110 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,760 If sauce next year does not want to be on the Jets anymore 111 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280 I would not be surprised because 112 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,360 Here he is wasting his prime years some of his best years on a team 113 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,040 That is not gone anywhere. It's the same old Jets doing the same old thing 114 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:32,560 And what is that exactly failing failing to meet expectations failing to meet the standard failing to do the right thing 115 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,600 They looked more competitive 116 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,600 With Mike White and Zach Wilson than they ever have with Aaron Rodgers and granted 117 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,920 I understand that that's the first year of Aaron Rodgers. He was hurt over the season. Okay, cool 118 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:53,400 But the constant back fighting and finger pointing and blame game that Aaron Rodgers continued to do has gotten them nowhere 119 00:10:53,800 --> 00:11:00,440 Mike Williams looks more happy now with the Pittsburgh Steelers than what he ever has with the New York Giants 120 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,400 That's what happens folks when you get out of a toxic situation and you get into a more 121 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,360 Progressive situation now let's shift this thing over to the Vontae Adams because yes 122 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,360 I do have a little bit of a bone to pick with him simply because once again you fall for the same 123 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,280 Okie-dote play 124 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:24,840 Thinking that your friend was going to put you in a better situation has done is put you on a sinking ship 125 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,280 I really want you to think about that for a minute here folks because 126 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,160 Here we have a great receiver in the Vontae Adams 127 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,800 You had a choice 128 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,800 To go between the Ravens 129 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,800 The Bills and the Steelers 130 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,320 Three teams right now who are most likely going to be in the playoffs 131 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,800 Who have a much better winning record and a much more stable 132 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,080 situation at quarterback than what the Jets do 133 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,480 And here you are deciding that you wanted to go and play with your friend who by the way 134 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,120 Left you in Green Bay 135 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,600 He left you 136 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,200 You see there's a difference if you know 137 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,040 Things just didn't work out and this was you know, it was unexpected and whatnot and you know 138 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,880 This was an overnight type of trade that nobody was expecting 139 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,040 Okay, fine 140 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,440 But you knew that Aaron Rodgers was going to be going from the Packers 141 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,600 And you knew 142 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,720 That you 143 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,720 Wanted another chance to rewrite your wrongs when it came to going to the Raiders and here was your chance 144 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Here was your chance to be a number one receiver 145 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,400 On any of those three teams 146 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,480 I don't care what anyone says 147 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,520 Vontae Adams would have been a one with the Bills 148 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,920 He would have been a one with the Steelers and he would have been a one with the Ravens 149 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,040 He would have been and it also doesn't help that you will post a picture 150 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:04,920 Of edgar allen po the one person the one icon that everyone knows is connected to baltimore 151 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:12,920 And instead of you going to a team that is on the path to winning that is on the path to potentially winning a championship 152 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,320 You decided to go with your friend 153 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,440 You decided to pick the person that decided to leave you and now look most likely he's going to leave you again 154 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:30,520 Now should we feel bad for the Vontae Adams? No, not at all because you had a chance to 155 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:38,280 Change your direction now granted. I understand you probably wouldn't have went to the chief simply because of you know 156 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,400 Division rivals and whatnot and I get all of that, but still come on man 157 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,280 Do you have better options? 158 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Way better options than this.

Say all that to say this 159 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,760 There's going to be more people that are going to be getting fired 160 00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:00,680 Moving forward and if I am a GM and if I am a head coach, I know I've been on this topic for a long time 161 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,480 I know I have other things I have to talk about we are going to talk about those things as well 162 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,200 But I do want to drive this point home because I have been saying this 163 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:14,840 Since the rumors were starting to bubble that erin rogers was going what was going to the jets 164 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:21,080 Because you knew you could see the writing on the wall that it was it was not going to end well 165 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,880 Everybody knew wherever Tom Brady went. Guess what most likely they were going to be 166 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,920 competing for championship 167 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,760 Everybody knew where Pey Manning was going most likely 168 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,880 There's a chance that they can be a really good team and they could possibly win a championship 169 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,960 Even though he was coming off of a serious neck injury 170 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:48,040 Everybody knew if Matt Stafford was to be paired up with the right team in the right situation 171 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,920 That they would be a very dangerous team all of them won championships 172 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,640 error office hasn't won one 173 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Just a food for thought moving forward to another New York team that continues to 174 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,960 Gravel own mess, which is the Giants now for those of you who do not know 175 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:14,760 The decision has been made that Daniel Jones will be getting benched and not, you know being the backup quarterback 176 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,280 No, he is the third string quarterback on the team right now 177 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,280 So let's just get into the ins and outs of everything and then we'll you know dive into 178 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,840 opinions and takeaways and whatnot so 179 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,160 At this point at this juncture 180 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,360 If Daniel Jones does not play another down for the new york giants, this will be his stat line 181 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,760 216 for 341 182 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,920 2070 passing yards eight touchdowns seven interceptions 183 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:48,840 6.1 yard per 10 in a 63.3 completion percentage. Okay now his career record according to stat news 184 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,920 is 24 185 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,440 45 and one 186 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Okay 187 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:59,240 Now according to Tom Pellecero because he tweeted this out the moment that Daniel Jones was being benched 188 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Daniel Jones was due 30.5 million in 2025 189 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,480 But if the Giants cut or trade him before march 16th 190 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,560 They hope they owe him no money beyond the 2024 season 191 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,480 Now here is the interesting part in all of this 192 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,480 If cut or traded without a post-june 1st designation 193 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:26,440 They carry 2.21 million dead cap in 2025 with savings of 19.39 million. Okay 194 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:33,080 Now vice versa if cut or traded with a post june 1st designation 195 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:39,240 They carry a 11.1 million dead cap hit in 2025 in 2026 and save 196 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,240 30.5 million on the 2025 cap now 197 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,320 I know you know things things happen and you know decisions are made and at the end of the day 198 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,400 This is a business 199 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,680 But we all know that this was driven about 200 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:02,680 Preparing for the future as well as beginning to figure out exactly how much money do they have so that they can invest 201 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,720 Into building up this offense even more 202 00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:08,360 Because the fact of the matter is folks 203 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,080 Daniel Jones since getting this deal has not lived up to the expectations 204 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,880 And this falls on joe shane's lap 205 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,200 Doesn't really fall on brian dabel's lap because brian dabel inherited 206 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,880 Daniel Jones and brian dabel wanted to draft 207 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,000 Either jade and daniel's or one of those other quarterbacks 208 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,400 But they decided that they wanted to go and to get malik neighbors, which again, it's still a great pig 209 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,240 It really is 210 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,840 But the fact of the matter is it's better if you get a rookie quarterback because that gives you five years 211 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,800 To build that team in the direction that you want that you want it to be built 212 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:53,160 Compared to paying for an average to possibly below average quarterback who at best will probably be 213 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,160 a backup quarterback moving forward to mention it also 214 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,520 reinforces what i've been saying this entire time 215 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,800 Which was the giants needed seikwan 216 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,320 It was seikwan's influence on the field that was making daniel jones 217 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,160 Look good 218 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,920 And now that you realize that guess what now they're making the tough decision 219 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:22,280 Which granted there have been you know insiders that have said that a lot of the giants players are a little bit disgruntled about it because 220 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:29,160 They all know that this is a financial move. This isn't based off of you know anything else, which is true 221 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:38,600 But at the end of the day here, let's be real here outside of darryl slayton and malik neighbors and tyrone tracy and theo johnson 222 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,600 This offense really hasn't been super productive daniel jones has not been super productive 223 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:52,200 And let's be real here again brian dable wanted jaden daniels. He really wanted him 224 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:59,480 And the fact that they did not go and get him is a disgrace because now you see jaden daniels 225 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,120 thriving and potentially 226 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,600 Going to win rookie of the year 227 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,840 He has looked phenomenal this year. This will go down in history as one of the greatest 228 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Seasons for a rookie quarterback 229 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:19,400 In the fact that you could have gotten him and you didn't is a disservice to you in the organization 230 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760 And now you're trying to play a game of catch-up 231 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:29,080 Because now you realize that guess what we overpaid we reached for this quarterback 232 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,200 We thought that this quarterback was going to be the future when in whole time he was not 233 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:41,080 All he was was a mere thought and so now you've put in tommy de Vito and then have drew lot behind him 234 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,360 Knowing that they are not going to be able to win a whole lot of games 235 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,600 Knowing that you are preparing yourself to draft a quarterback high 236 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,440 And if you're brian dable you have to have an honest conversation with both john mera and joe shane 237 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,960 And you may have to throw joe shane under the bus just a little bit simply because listen 238 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,440 You were the one that was trying to justify the contract that you gave daniel jones 239 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:13,320 You're trying to justify let me draft the quarterback this time because I know what type of quarterback 240 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,640 I need in order to be successful 241 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,320 Now we need to talk about some of these games, okay? 242 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,040 And I know I've been sort of you know on rants and rants and rants, but you know what it's just 243 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,480 It's just it's just frustrating just to see that 244 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:30,840 Organizations continue to do the most 245 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,960 Damnest things in the world and it's like bro 246 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:41,640 Why in the world where the giants literally fighting tooth and nail towards the end? 247 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,920 To get daniel jones a contract 248 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:51,800 I remember it because it was literally getting close to the deadlines of franchise tag players and whatnot 249 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,520 And they were fighting tooth and nail they were going back and forth going back and forth like two boxers 250 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,200 And guess what daniel jones got a deal and instantly when the news dropped of daniel jones got in the deal 251 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:08,760 I was like, you know what? Yeah, there's not gonna end. Well, this is not gonna end. Well, but you know if I'm safe one 252 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,000 I'm just kicking back and I'm just you know, maybe chuck a little bend just say hey 253 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:20,200 I told you so but let's get into this 40 Niners in seahawks game because a lot has to be said about this as well 254 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,840 So geno smith was 25 or 32 255 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,560 221 passing yards one interception 256 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,640 6.9 yards per attempt in a 78.1 completion percentage 257 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Kenneth walker 14 attempts for 54 rushing yards 258 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,720 3.9 rushing yards per carry one touchdown and one rush of 10 plus yards or more 259 00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:41,400 Jackson smith and jigba 11 targets for 10 receptions 260 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,560 110 receiving yards and 11 receiving yards per reception 261 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,840 Brock purdy 21 for 28 159 passing yards one touchdown one pick 262 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,600 5.7 yards per attempt in a 75 completion percentage 263 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:02,120 Christian mccaffrey 19 attempts for 79 rushing yards 4.2 rushing yards per carry in two rushes of 10 plus yards or more 264 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:09,560 Joanne Jennings 11 targets for 10 receptions 91 receiving yards one touchdown and 9.1 receiving yards per reception 265 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,040 Now this is what I will say. I think it's time. We have an honest conversation 266 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,520 about the 49ers this season 267 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,920 And I think it's really over 268 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,120 I think the experiment and I mean experiment 269 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:25,080 That was the 49ers is officially over 270 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,360 And the reason why I say that is because you can tell 271 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,800 They're just not the same team anymore. I think last year was probably the last true year 272 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,640 Where they had a real legitimate chance of actually winning a super bowl 273 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,280 I think you know once once the season ended the way that it ended 274 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,880 I think it was just over for them to mention you can tell now 275 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:53,240 People have become accustomed to the Kyle Shanahan system and there is a roadblock in Kyle Shanahan's offense 276 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,520 Where there is a lack of creativity in his play calling 277 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,320 Because now everybody knows how to do it now because a majority of his coaches are now offensive coordinators or 278 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,760 In some capacity on an offensive staff on another team 279 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,000 That's just what it is folks 280 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:17,400 And it also doesn't help that you know the 49ers have not done well when it comes to drafting may I remind you 281 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,000 Some of the players that they have whiffed on 282 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,200 Recently. Yeah, I got time today. Let's get into it. Okay, so 283 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,320 Trey Lance in 2021, right? 284 00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,880 They traded three 285 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,160 Not one 286 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,040 Not two 287 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,720 But three first round picks and he only started three games in two years now. Mind you 288 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,040 He had a season ending ankle injury one year and then after that 289 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,720 He only started a few more games and they shipped them off to to uh to Dallas 290 00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:50,600 Dante Pettis in 2018 they traded up to get him 291 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,000 Solomon Thomas 292 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,640 2017 drafted third overall and he failed to meet the expectations and granted I get it 293 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,840 You know, you're going to whiff on picks. It happens. I understand that 294 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,640 But the fact of the matter is that that one trade with trade lands 295 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,200 Pushed them back so many years that now it's finally catching up to them 296 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,880 Because you traded away three first round picks to get somebody and then you didn't even really give them a fair shake 297 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,800 You didn't 298 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,800 What sense does that really make? 299 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,800 And granted there were a lot of former players and analysts and one that were saying oh 300 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,400 Get trade lands out of san francisco. He's not doing his job. He's horrible blah blah blah 301 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,240 But you traded three first round picks to get him. I'm sorry 302 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:46,440 You are going to have to ride out these five years to see exactly what do you have in trade lands 303 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,480 And they didn't and they shipped him off like it was nothing 304 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:57,000 That's why you see the 49ers in the last few years be so active when it comes to free agency and the trades 305 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,360 In order to patch things up and if we're being real here, it's hurt them especially this season 306 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:08,120 Because remember they put a lot of money into gravedigger's pocket and granted gravedigger got hurt 307 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600 And what has that done for them? 308 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,720 nothing 309 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,720 because now the defense of line 310 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:14,920 is 311 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,800 Not really that good and granted they did trade for Khalil davis, but that's a death piece 312 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,840 You need somebody that's going to be able to you know 313 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,960 Change a game if need be and the only person that you know that's productive on that line is nick bolsa 314 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,560 And and your turn gross gross motos. I forgot about him and limber for forgot about those two guys 315 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,080 No disrespect to you guys 316 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:44,680 But again, let's be real here. The 49ers experiment is over and it's okay 317 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,720 And I understand they're going to try to do something crazy this offseason to you know, try to run it one more time 318 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,720 But it's just no point 319 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,360 It's no point and granted I get it 320 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,200 They hit on friend Warner they hit on George kiddo and Brandon iu it can debo Samuel 321 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:09,480 And Brock perty and whatnot. I get all of that. But the fact of the matter is the truth of the matter is 322 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:16,280 This team is not a super bowl caliber team the cardinals and the seahawks 323 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,160 This is their division to fight for now. The 49ers are just occupying it 324 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,320 That's just it and granted remember a lot of those 49ers teams that went to the Super Bowl one night 325 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:34,440 They were just as dangerous on the defense as they were in the offense and now the defense has become really lackluster and granted 326 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,880 They have Brandon staley as their defensive coordinator now 327 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:43,480 I remember when that announcement was made and I instantly thought to myself 328 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,400 That was probably the most dumbest things they could have ever did because mind you 329 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,960 Have we not seen what Brandon staley did when he was the head coach for the Chargers? 330 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,680 Do we not see how those defenses used to crumble in the fourth quarter? 331 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,120 They used to crumble like flour hitting water 332 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,360 It was atrocious and now you have him with the 49ers 333 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,920 It's not looking good brother. It is not looking good. But for the seahawks 334 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,840 great win 335 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,560 Very much needed win. This keeps their playoffs, you know dreams alive 336 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:24,600 And now they're probably be fighting tooth and nail with the Cardinals to see who is going to you know win the division and 337 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240 If I can make a prediction right now 338 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,760 I will probably say it it might be might just be the seahawks 339 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,320 But I will have to you know, check the the the schedules for for both teams right now 340 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,480 But let's get into this Steelers and Ravens game. Yeah 341 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,720 Yeah, we got to get into the game that everybody was talking about that the game that everyone was saying 342 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,600 Oh, the ravens are going to beat the Steelers 343 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:57,320 Yeah, I'm talking about you mook. You were the person that was definitely thinking that the ravens were going to beat the Steelers 344 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,400 No, no, no, no, no 345 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:05,240 Mike Tonley once again shows that he has the ravens number and Lamar Jackson's number now 346 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,080 Let's get into these stats. Okay, Russell Wilson dangerous 347 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,240 was 23 for 36 205 passing yards one pick 348 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,320 5.7 yards per 10 in a 63.9 completion percentage 349 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,360 Najee Harris 18 attempts for 63 rushing yards 350 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,680 3.5 rushing yards per carry in three rushes of 10 plus yards and more 351 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:31,480 George Pickens 12 targets for eight receptions 89 receiving yards and 11.1 receiving yards per reception 352 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,720 Lamar Jackson 16 for 33 353 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:41,320 207 passing yards one touchdown one pick 6.3 yards per 10 in a 48.5 completion percentage 354 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:48,840 Derek Henry 13 attempts for 65 rushing yards 5 rushing yards per carry one touchdown one rush of 10 plus yards and more 355 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:56,120 Isaiah likely 5 targets for four receptions 75 receiving yards and 18.8 receiving yards per reception 356 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,520 Now this is what I will say and I'm just going to be completely honest here 357 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,280 I'm going to try to eliminate the fandom within me for the 358 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,720 Steelers you thought it was going to do but I'm not going to do it 359 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,480 Going to wait till thursday now. This is what I will say 360 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,040 In all seriousness 361 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,360 The Steelers continue to you know get wins and this is probably their toughest opponent they have faced thus far 362 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:28,360 And they won and you know, this wasn't just you know one person being dominant. No, this was a collective effort 363 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,640 Especially on the defense. Patrick Queen was doing his thing 364 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,240 John Ubenson, Cam Hayward, TJ Watt, to Sean Elliott 365 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:43,320 Everybody heard job and this was a great win. This was a great win a very much needed win because this exposed the Ravens 366 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:51,160 Because again for the longest time this season teams have been trying to figure out how can they stop this Ravens offense 367 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,800 And the Steelers were the one to do it 368 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,080 They finally cracked the code and they did it and this continues to show how dominant 369 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,880 My timeline is when it comes to the Ravens 370 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,440 Because again, as I said before in the previous episode leading up to this game 371 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:13,160 The Steelers have won seven of the eight last matchups between the Steelers and Ravens 372 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,400 And mind you some of those Steelers teams did not have a whole lot of talent 373 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:23,400 Whether that be because of injuries or you know people not playing well or whatever the case may be 374 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,400 And they still found ways to win 375 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,000 I don't know man 376 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,080 I don't know this Steelers team is getting more and more dangerous 377 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:37,800 As the season continues to dwindle down as we get closer and closer to playoffs and whatnot 378 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,000 Now the only problem that I do have with the Steelers offense is the red zone 379 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,920 They have been atrocious in the red zone and granted there were multiple times where you probably could have put just in fields in 380 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:55,320 And you probably could have done a QB option or something but you got to change up the play column because again 381 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,960 The red zone has been somewhat of the Achilles heel for the Steelers offense 382 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,400 I would have thought that they would have tried to use 383 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,680 You know 384 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,680 Nausea a little bit more in the red zone 385 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,360 Maybe a little bit more of jaylen warren or you know just try to shake things up just a little bit more because again 386 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,280 There were points and points in times in the game where okay 387 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,000 They were just using a whole bunch of shotgun or a lot of pistol and it's like no bro 388 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,480 You got to you got to switch things up a little bit more 389 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,120 Because again, this is our divisional rival 390 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,840 So whatever that we show them in this game most likely they're going to study it 391 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,400 And they're going to be better equipped and better prepared for when we face them again 392 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,160 Which I do believe we probably will beat them and then swept them and then win the whole division 393 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:45,960 But I'm not going to say it. You didn't hear it here first on the 50th episode of the football 394 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,400 Junkies podcast 395 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,120 really there were multiple opportunities where lamar had chances to run into 396 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:58,200 Possibly get a first down or you know to do something miraculous, but he just didn't want to do it and for 397 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,240 Whatever reason I do not know but you know if you are the Ravens 398 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,400 You got to clean that up. You got to do a better job because again 399 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,280 And this is a crazy stat. I didn't even realize it the Steelers are undefeated 400 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,720 When not scoring a touchdown, they are two and oh 401 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:21,800 Compared to the entire league who are two and 18 when they don't score a touchdown 402 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,880 The Steelers continue to find ways to win games in the most craziest ways 403 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,640 And a lot of that a lot of this has to be given to my time and granted 404 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,120 I was definitely one of those people. I'll be honest. I'll be very transparent here 405 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,920 Who definitely thought, you know, this is going to be a very trying year for my time 406 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,040 And because there was a lot of turnover with the offense 407 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,560 Can you pick it was gone? 408 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,280 You know 409 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:52,520 Mason Rudolph was gone via free agency and then you bring in Justin Fields and then you bring in Kyle Allen and Russell Wilson 410 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:59,320 You bring in a new offensive coordinator. You trade away. Deontay Johnson and you lose james daniel's for the season you lose 411 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:07,160 Uh, Nate herbig for the season then joy fatanu is out for the season like a lot of things have happened and for 412 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,400 Mike Tomlin to remain on the course and to exceed 413 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:18,040 expectations and continue to win games that a lot of people said that the Steelers were not going to be able to win games is 414 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,600 You know kudos to him 415 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:26,440 And he continues to show that listen no matter what the odds are against no matter who is playing 416 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,320 Who's not playing guess what this team is going to be ready to play 417 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,440 Now let's get into this chiefs in bills game. So Josh Allen was 27 for 40 418 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,800 262 passing yards one touchdown one pick 419 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,800 6.6 yards per attempt in a 67.5 completion percentage 420 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:47,560 James cook nine attempts for 20 rushing yards 2.2 rushing yards per carry and two touchdowns 421 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:54,520 Khalil Shakir 12 targets for eight receptions 70 receiving yards 8.8 receiving yards per reception 422 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,840 patch of my homes 23 for 33 423 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:04,360 196 passing yards three touchdowns two picks 5.9 yards per attempt in a 69.7 completion percentage 424 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,240 Green hunt 14 attempts for 60 rushing yards 4.3 rushing yards per carry 425 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,640 And one rush of 10 plus yards or more 426 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:18,760 Xavier worthy five targets for four receptions 61 receiving yards one touchdown and 15.3 receiving yards per reception 427 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,600 Now this is what I will say here folks 428 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:30,440 The bills win toe-to-toe with the chiefs and granted they got the win. That's great and all kudos to them whatnot 429 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,160 but you know 430 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,760 No one really cares about going up against the chiefs in the regular season 431 00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:39,400 It's what you do in the playoffs right now 432 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,120 The bills just showed that they can go toe-to-toe 433 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:48,520 With the chiefs because let's be real here. The chiefs are still waiting for to come back. Isaiah Pacheco 434 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:56,280 JuJu Smith Schuster and company so they're still waiting for people, you know to get healthy and you know be able to play and whatnot 435 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:03,480 But again, you still cannot sleep on the chiefs. Okay, the chiefs are still dangerous as long as patch of my homes is on that field 436 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,640 They still have a chance to win and for Josh Allen to you know continue to show that hey listen 437 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,160 Y'all was doubting me y'all thought I was going to have a you know a bad season without Stefan Diggs 438 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:21,480 And he's still able to hold his own with you know a marie cooper keon Coleman and company definitely says a lot 439 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,440 Okay, Josh Allen is balling this year 440 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:32,040 This is probably maybe the second best season that I would say of his career because that first year where they went up against the chiefs 441 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,280 in the AFC championship and then lost over time 442 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,720 I feel like that was the best year that Josh Allen has ever had but you know all in all 443 00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:44,840 Great team win the defense stepped up the defense were making plays 444 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:51,240 They were trying their best to beat patch of my homes and they were able to get through when they were able to create pressure 445 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,000 And in doing so sealed the game with an interception now 446 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,720 Let's go to the Colts in Jets game. So 447 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,200 Anthony Richardson 20 for 30 448 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,840 272 passing yards one touchdown 449 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,000 9.1 yards per attempt in a 66.7 completion percentage 450 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,040 Jonathan Taylor 24 attempts for 57 rushing yards 451 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,280 2.4 rushing yards per carry and one rush of 10 plus yards or more 452 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:21,720 Josh Downs 5 targets with 5 receptions 84 receiving yards one touchdown in 16.8 receiving yards per reception 453 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,040 Error Rodgers 22 for 29 454 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,760 184 passing yards 2 touchdowns 455 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,760 6.3 yards per attempt in a 75.9 completion percentage 456 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:39,240 Breece Hall 16 rushes of 78 rushing yards 4.9 rushing yards per carry one touchdown and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more 457 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:45,480 Devonte Adams 7 targets for 6 receptions 72 receiving yards and 12 receiving yards per reception 458 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,600 Now this is what I will say because the Colts made a comeback 459 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,400 Okay, because there was a point in time things were starting to look a little bit out of hand 460 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,360 Okay, the Jets defense was you know, they were starting to do anything. They were starting to get some momentum 461 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,280 They were starting to you know, create pressure and you know cause fumbles and whatnot, but 462 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,960 I don't know how they did it 463 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:09,000 But the Colts buckled down and they got the win and to put the cherry on top 464 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:16,520 Anthony Richardson ran in and he ran over DJ Reed. I'm talking about straight up. Put your head down 465 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,120 Run them over that is something that if you are a Colts fan 466 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,320 If you are a Colts player that you can hang your hat on because guess what Anthony Richardson fought 467 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:31,560 He fought his way back into being the starting quarterback again and he fought his way to get this W 468 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,120 So all in all a great win for them 469 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,680 It still puts them in a good position to 470 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,760 Possibly make it to the playoffs because again the Texan still look a little bit, you know 471 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,480 shaky in my mind, but I could be wrong here 472 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,920 But you know for the Jets, I don't think there's really a whole lot that I have to really say because I already said it 473 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,720 You know prior to this point. So, you know, the Jets will be the Jets 474 00:37:53,720 --> 00:38:00,440 You know, it definitely sucks for a lot of those players, you know, especially those veteran players who you know 475 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,240 They have more time behind them than ahead of them 476 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,320 Under the impression that this was going to be the year where they actually, you know 477 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:10,040 Were a part of a team that was actually going to be able to 478 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,800 You know win a playoff game and you know actually go on a run 479 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,960 But clearly that was not the case and now their dream has now turned into a nightmare now 480 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,600 Let's move forward before I go any more further 481 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,960 So Joe Burrow was 28 for 50 482 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000 356 passing yards three touchdowns 483 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,280 7.1 yards per attempt in a 56 completion percentage 484 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:37,720 T Higgins 13 targets for nine receptions 148 receiving yards one touchdown and 16.4 receiving yards per reception 485 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,320 Now chase Brown 22 attempts for 86 rushing yards 486 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,320 3.9 rushing yards per carry in one rush of 10 plus yards or more 487 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,560 Justin Herbert 17 for 36 488 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,200 297 passing yards 489 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,760 Two touchdowns 8.3 yards per attempt in a 47.2 completion percentage 490 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,880 J.K. Dobbins 11 attempts for 56 rushing yards 491 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,720 5.1 rushing yards per carry two touchdowns and two rushes of 10 plus yards or more lab mcconkey 492 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,040 nine targets for six receptions 493 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:13,240 123 receiving yards and 20.5 receiving yards per reception now. This is what I will say here folks 494 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:19,000 The bangles defense continues to show why they are going to be the killies heel 495 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000 for this bangles team 496 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,880 when it comes to making it to the playoffs because again 497 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,160 They were getting dice up. I'm talking about you get the finest chef 498 00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:33,560 You can possibly think of that have the greatest knife skills in the world and they were just 499 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,520 Chopping them up Burrow can only do so much here folks 500 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,160 and for him to constantly, you know 501 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:47,960 Throw two and three and four touchdowns a game just to be able to possibly get close of winning a game 502 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,840 It definitely says a lot, but you know jamar chase, you know had some thoughts on the loss 503 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:59,000 And let's just say they're a little bit scathing. Okay, so this is what he says and I quote ask zack 504 00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:02,520 Ask the coaches don't ask me. I play football in the field 505 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,120 I don't call plays for us 506 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,600 And this is just one instance to show how the frustration is starting to build 507 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,920 especially for some of the offensive players because 508 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,160 They have been carrying the majority of the workload for the team 509 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,360 And you know for Jamar chase, it's a little bit more 510 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,920 Frustrating for him because guess what? 511 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,160 I was trying to get a contract this offseason and y'all didn't even want to pay me 512 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,200 Now I've been balling out and you know, we're losing games 513 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:37,080 Joe burrow and Jamar chase alone are doing their thing t-higgins sure he comes in, you know here and there everywhere 514 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,520 Mike is second has been balling out and whatnot, but it's been the Joe burrow and Jamar chase show 515 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,040 But guess what? I'm gonna put you on some game right now 516 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,200 Best believe the Bengals are going to lose both of their receivers 517 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:56,920 Because that relationship is fractured and you can see that there probably is a little bit of a rift between 518 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,080 Zack Taylor and Jamar chase and if you are the Bengals front office 519 00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:09,320 You have to begin to prepare yourself for a possible scenario where you're going to lose both t-higgins and Jamar chase because right now 520 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:14,600 Jamar chase is on pace to win the triple crown and if he does win the triple crown 521 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:20,760 He automatically has the right to demand more money than Justin Jefferson 522 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,720 Automatically now t-higgins t-higgins is already going to be going anyway simply because 523 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:32,440 They haven't had no communication with the front office about a potential contract extension since last march 524 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,720 So that's already that that bridge is charred. Okay. It is gone 525 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:42,280 It's never going to be built something that they can do in order to repair it 526 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,720 but I'm a little bit anxious about this because again 527 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,120 If I lose both of my main receivers, what do I have? 528 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:55,080 There's nobody else on the team that I have more chemistry with than with Jamar chase and t-higgins 529 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,080 So if you're the Bengals, you better have a plan in place to either 530 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,680 draft a receiver or you're going to have to go and get a 531 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:10,120 You know middle of the pack to maybe a big fish of a receiver, but let's get into this Cowboys in Texas game 532 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,880 Yes, I wasn't going to talk about it. But you know, I had a conversation with some friends and we just got to get into it 533 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,880 Okay, so let's just dive into it real quick. Nothing really, you know crazy to talk about 534 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,840 But Cooper rush was 32 for 55 354 passing yards one touchdown 535 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,800 100 reception 6.4 yards per attempt in a 58.2 completion percentage 536 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,680 Rico Dow 10 attempts for 28 rushing yards 2.8 rushing yards per carry 537 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:42,360 CD lamb 12 targets for eight receptions 93 receiving yards and 11.6 receiving yards per reception 538 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:49,640 CJ Stroud 23 for 34 254 passing yards 100 reception 7.6 yards per attempt in a 539 00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:54,920 67.6 completion percentage Joe mixing 20 attempts for 109 rushing yards 540 00:42:54,920 --> 00:43:00,200 5.5 rushing yards per carry three touchdowns two rushes of 10 plus yards or more 541 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:07,320 Nico Collins seven targets for four receptions 54 receiving yards and 13.5 receiving yards per carry 542 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,400 Now, this is what I will say 543 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,160 The Cowboys cannot stop Joe mixing Joe mixing was playing like his hair was on fire. Okay 544 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,960 He was running up and down the field 545 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:24,760 Unstoppable and you know if you are the Bengals you are regretting the move that you made 546 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:30,840 And shipping off Joe mixing because Joe mixing is showing why the Bengals needed him a whole lot 547 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,960 But if you are the Cowboys not surprised 548 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,120 You know, I don't know really what to say anymore about the Cowboys 549 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,640 You know, I get it. They're the team that everybody wants to beat up on laugh on 550 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:48,920 Joke on all those different types of things. I get that but you know, this Cowboys team is just 551 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:50,760 Blah 552 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,760 That's the best way to describe it. Blah 553 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,920 like 554 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,920 I'm letting y'all know right now 555 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:03,880 If you had a plan to you know, watch some uh, some football and Thanksgiving. Guess what? There's no need 556 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,600 There is no need you might as well 557 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,880 When they pull out some uno cars and play uno with your family because it is not worth it. Okay 558 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,320 And if there was a way that they could redo all the commercials for the Thanksgiving games 559 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,160 They might as well want to do it, but it's too late. But this is what I will say 560 00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:24,920 Jerry Jones has a lot of tough decisions that he is going to have to make 561 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,600 And the reason why I say that is because right now you done paid 562 00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:31,400 Over a hundred plus million for a quarterback 563 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,640 And you done paid, you know, close to almost 40 million for a receiver 564 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:42,840 And now you have multiple holes on both sides of the ball that you're going to have to figure out as well as get a new head coach in here 565 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:48,120 and to actually create a real coach within the Dallas Cowboys locker room and 566 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,600 That's going to take some time 567 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:55,560 And I understand, you know, there are probably people that are saying, you know, they should just go through a rebuild and just 568 00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,760 Scrap everything and just get a whole bunch of picks. Yes, they could do that or they could just go through a soft rebuild 569 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:03,240 I guarantee you if the Cowboys 570 00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:05,240 maintain course 571 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:11,160 Don't spend a whole lot of money and just stock up on a whole bunch of picks for two years. Oh, they'll be competitive 572 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:17,240 They'll be able to compete with the Eagles with the Chiefs and company. They'll be able to do it 573 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:25,000 They just have to figure out exactly what is the plan moving forward because I don't think they're going to pay Michael Parsons 574 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,800 I just don't because Michael Parsons is going to demand a lot of money 575 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,360 And I don't think Jerry is going to want to pay Michael Parsons a whole lot of money 576 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:41,880 Especially defense has not been playing well. You need a running back. You need another receiver like there is multiple holes 577 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:47,080 On both sides of the ball in very key positions that are going to need to be addressed 578 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,240 Not only in the draft, but as well as in in free agency and you know 579 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,800 If you are the Cowboys, maybe dangle Michael Parsons out there 580 00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:01,240 See exactly, you know what teams will be willing to give up for and if it's super lucrative then hey 581 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,320 You go in and you pull the trigger 582 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,680 But if not, you then you know, you know exactly what you have to do 583 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:12,840 Because at this point you guys are not competitive. You guys wouldn't be competitive even if you had 584 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,160 Dak on the field. You just wouldn't right now this team 585 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:23,240 They they're playing like they have mentally checked out and that they are just trying to get through the season 586 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:28,760 So that can you know, they can have vacation and you know playing what they want to do moving forward with their agents and 587 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,320 Whatever the you know, whatever the things that that most professional athletes have to do 588 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,400 But we'll just have to wait and see 589 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,840 What exactly happens what the Cowboys moving forward because 590 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:45,160 I think fans are a little bit sick and tired of you know, the build up of every single year that you know 591 00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:49,960 This is going to be our year. This is going to be our year and then they fail to meet expectations 592 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:55,720 Especially when they've been dominant, you know, the previous three years two or three years if I'm not mistaken 593 00:46:55,720 --> 00:47:01,240 But I'm going to end this here if you guys like what you are listening.
