1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
So here we are folks

2
00:00:02,220 --> 00:00:04,220
preparing for the Super Bowl

3
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:06,000
once again

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,800
Chiefs and Eagles

5
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,640
round two

6
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:15,520
Yes, I know I didn't want to see it. You probably didn't want to see it. That's perfectly fine

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,260
But we have to talk about the two games that led up to this point

8
00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:25,640
Okay, I finally was able to get to it and this is the episode to do it. All right

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:34,060
Chiefs and bills commanders and Eagles art Rooney gives his thoughts on the vision of the Steelers

10
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:36,060
Okay, Mike McCarthy takes a break

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,520
Why haven't the Saints hired a new head coach yet and the Reese's senior Bowl?

12
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:44,600
Recap, okay

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,680
You might want to listen and stay tuned for that because you you might hear some people that you may be interested in that you may

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:58,040
Want to watch their you know their film and their highlights at okay all of this and more on the 64th episode of football junkies

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Podcasts, okay? I am your host with the most okay

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,000
I am your chief bad road domus when it comes to anything and everything related to the bag

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,120
Okay, I am the man with the plan when it comes to anything and everything related to mock drafts

18
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,220
Okay, when it when it relates to trades rumors of trades and more, okay

19
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:25,680
I'm the person that goes with the truth bombs. Okay, okay reality checks gut check time and more

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,400
Okay, but guess what I am all these things and more but most importantly

21
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,240
I am your host kale. You already know how these things are about to go

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:48,840
So guess what on three one two three. Let's lock in. Oh

23
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Oh

24
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,980
Right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on in the league right now

25
00:02:09,980 --> 00:02:16,580
So we are finally talking about the chiefs and bills game as well as the commanders and Eagles game

26
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:21,740
Okay, we are finally getting into it. Unfortunately. This is painful for Buffalo fans and commanders fans

27
00:02:21,740 --> 00:02:27,580
But it's okay because guess what there is room for you on the Buffalo wing boat

28
00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:34,460
Okay, because we got about maybe what 29 spaces left. I think is it 29? No

29
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:39,180
Don't don't worry about that. Okay. Okay. Okay. Just don't worry about that

30
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:43,660
But there's room for you on the Buffalo wing boat. Okay, better yet

31
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:49,540
I think that's gonna be the episode Buffalo wing boat actually like that, but let's get into this game. All right, so chiefs in

32
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:50,920
bills

33
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:56,560
Okay, Josh Allen 22 for 34 237 passing yards to touchdowns

34
00:02:56,860 --> 00:03:03,460
Seven yards per attempt in a 64.7 completion percentage James Cook 13 attempts for 85 rush yards

35
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:08,680
6.5 rush yards per carry two touchdowns in one rush of 10 plus yards or more

36
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,960
Mack Hollins for targets for three receptions 73 receiving yards one touchdown in

37
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:18,720
24.3 receiving yards per reception Patrick Mahomes 18 for 26

38
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,320
245 passing yards one touchdown

39
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,480
9.4 yards per attempt in a 69.2 completion percentage

40
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,120
Kareem Hunt 17 attempts for 64 rushing yards

41
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,000
3.8 rushing yards per carry one touchdown in two rushes of 10 plus yards or more

42
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Xavier worthy seven targets for six receptions 85 receiving yards one touchdown in

43
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,960
14.2 receiving yards per reception now

44
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,880
This is what I will say after finally been able to watch the game again

45
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:53,280
Once again, the bills could have won this game and I know Bill's fans are probably saying no we could no we couldn't yes

46
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,720
You guys could have

47
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,240
Once again, the lights got too bright for Josh Allen and he folded

48
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:06,520
The first drive he almost threw two interceptions two interceptions back to back

49
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720
I understand

50
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,720
That there's a lot of people

51
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,640
Especially in the media that you know, they may have the reservations for certain quarterbacks

52
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,040
And they may have the reservations for you know, people like Lamar Jackson one night and that's perfectly fine

53
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,320
I have no problem with that

54
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,480
but

55
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,200
We also need to have the same conversation for Josh Allen

56
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Because he continues to crumble when he goes up against the chiefs in the playoffs and granted

57
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,040
I understand that playing in Kansas City in the AFC championship is a lot of pressure on your shoulders

58
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:46,080
But bro, you cannot give them an inch of fear because I'm telling you they're gonna be like sharks in the water

59
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,080
Okay, once they smell blood

60
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,160
They're going in okay, and that's exactly what they did

61
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,720
They put all the pressure on Josh Allen when it should have been the other way around in granted again

62
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,800
I under since a tall task to play at arrowhead. I get it

63
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:10,240
But the fact of the matter is you could have easily won this game had you guys not

64
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,600
Continue to make these dumb decisions from trying to go point conversion

65
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,800
To running out of bounds instead of just staying in bounds so you can let the clock just go down

66
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Multiple mistakes were made in this game that shouldn't have happened

67
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Okay, because at the end of the day you need to put all the pressure on patch my homes

68
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,640
You need to give him the least amount of time

69
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,360
To work with because if you don't guess what's gonna happen patch do patch my home's things

70
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,160
He's gonna find Travis Kelsey

71
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:48,080
They're gonna could connect on two big plays and then the rest is history and that's exactly what happened in this game

72
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,120
Even the last play of the game you knew that spags was going to probably do a zero blitz

73
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,120
You knew that he was going to send everybody that he can towards you

74
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,180
You rolled out the wrong way because guess what if you would have just looked to your left

75
00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:09,960
And you would have just thrown it to the running back. That's a first down because why nobody was over there

76
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:11,760
So again

77
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:19,760
We have to stop giving Josh Allen all of these get out of jail free cards when we don't do it for people like a Lamar Jackson

78
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,960
Like a Jalen Hertz or anybody else because if this was anybody else

79
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:30,040
Oh, everybody would be throwing them under the bus and saying oh, he's a bum. You got to get rid of them

80
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,520
He's no good all those crazy things and more but because it's Josh Allen. We have to give him grace

81
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,160
We have to give him understanding. We have to show compassion with him

82
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,200
No, the fact of the matter is you fold it the only two

83
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,000
Quarterbacks that have been able to beat patch from the homes in the playoffs has been Joe Burrow and Tom Brady

84
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,160
Those the only two

85
00:06:53,320 --> 00:07:01,640
That is not good folks and granted I understand that the chiefs are difficult. I understand that they are magicians

86
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:08,120
I understand craziest things when they need to make a play. I get all that but come on, man

87
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Come on. You have to do better

88
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Everybody knows that when you are going up against the cheese you have to control the clock

89
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,120
You have to make sure that you keep patching my homes out of rhythm because if you do that

90
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,400
You have a better chance at winning the game compared to

91
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Trying to get you know to the end zone as fast as you can. No, you don't want that you want that team to be out of rhythm

92
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,240
while at the same time leave

93
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,600
The least amount of time that you can on the clock for have you know for them to work on

94
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:49,240
Because then guess what that puts all the pressure on them and that means all you have to do is just hold up for three plays

95
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200
That's it. If you hold up for three plays

96
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,400
You won the game

97
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,480
but

98
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:02,900
Because once again you kept on trying to go forward on to you kept on trying to go and play a game

99
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:09,020
The plane and you're thinking that you're the chiefs and you're trying to their competition and you cannot do that

100
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:15,340
And I understand there are people that are probably saying, you know, oh there's next year and you know all those different things

101
00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:18,780
But it's hard to get back to the AFC championship

102
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:25,100
The AFC is a very loaded division. Okay, some of the best quarterbacks are in the AFC

103
00:08:25,180 --> 00:08:29,820
It's hard to get back there. I don't know what's it gonna take but at this point

104
00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:35,720
This is another instance of Josh Allen failing to win the big game

105
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:38,380
You cannot continue to do this

106
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:43,020
Even even the last time that they was in the AFC championship and they faced the cheese

107
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:51,300
They gave you never do that, bro. That is a cardinal rule. You never do that, but it's not my team's I don't really care

108
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:56,320
They'll be you know riding on a buffalo wing boat somewhere in Cancun right now

109
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,760
Drinking peanut coladas and margaritas and whatever but let's get into this commanders and Eagles game. Okay, so

110
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Jaden Daniels 29 for 48

111
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:10,880
255 passing yards one touchdown one pick 5.3 yards per attempt in a 60.4

112
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,480
completion percentage Jaden Daniels again

113
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:20,080
Six attempts for 48 rushing yards eight rushing yards per carry one touchdown in two rushes of 10 plus yards or more

114
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:27,040
Zach earth 16 targets for 11 receptions 104 receiving yards 9.5 receiving yards per reception

115
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Jalen Hertz 20 for 28

116
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,360
246 passing yards one touchdown 8.8 yards per attempt in a 71.4 completion percentage

117
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,560
Say Kwan Barkley 15 attempts for a hundred and 18 rushing yards

118
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,560
7.9 rushing yards per carry three touchdown in three rushes of 10 plus yards or more eight targets for six receptions

119
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:53,240
96 receiving yards one touchdown in 16 receiving yards per recession now when we look at this game, you know the bus

120
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040
infilling, okay, I

121
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,200
Understand that this will be a mixed season for the commanders a

122
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,400
Season that you know will definitely go down in the history books

123
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:11,120
Especially here in in the DMV but at some point this party was going to end and it ended infilling now granted

124
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280
You know at first the commanders were trying to put up a fight

125
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,160
But you know the Eagles decided hey, I'm gonna sit up in a chair a little bit

126
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:25,600
I'm gonna get a little bit serious and they got serious and that's exactly what happened for all the commanders fans that you know

127
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Maybe doom and gloom I wouldn't be because why you defied the odds this season

128
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Nobody would have expected this team to make it this far. You guys were literally one game away from Super Bowl

129
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:47,800
You defeated the Lions the number one seed in NFC you went to Detroit and you beat them

130
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,720
To face your division rival again in the NFC championship that right there is

131
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Monumental that is something that you can carry into next when you look at this roster

132
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,200
From top to bottom offense to defense special teams, whatever

133
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,920
Nobody would have expected them to get this far

134
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,280
But it proves that when you have the right coaching the right quarterback

135
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:19,360
Guess what anything can happen and that's exactly what it was now for the Eagles though

136
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,800
The Eagles showed hey

137
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,680
We're still those guys we're dominant

138
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:31,360
They got hot at the right moment because that first half of the season it was looking real rocky

139
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,080
Okay, you just you saw a lot of you know

140
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,420
Conflicts on the sidelines then you have reports coming out that you know

141
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,560
Siriani and Jaylen Hertz on on the same page and it was just a whole bunch of stuff and then whatever happened

142
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,200
after that by week

143
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,440
From that point to now

144
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,000
They have been locked in zeroed in ready to go and so

145
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,200
The payoff is guess what they're back in the Super Bowl again in this time

146
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,360
This might be the best chance for them to actually win a Super Bowl

147
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:12,560
So I say all that to say this, you know the Eagles you guys have a taller task of hand for you

148
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:18,160
Now granted I understand there are people that are saying well the Eagles have a better defense than the Chiefs

149
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:25,000
That may be true by some people but by my standards guess what the bus stops in Kansas City

150
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,880
So unless you have a master plan that nobody knows about guess what it's gonna be a fight from the first quarter

151
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:39,520
To the last quarter it's going to be a fight. So be prepared. You have faced these guys Super Bowl before

152
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,040
Okay, you know tell all your corners when the two-minute warning happens

153
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,120
Guess what don't hold on the corners

154
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,560
Don't hold on the corners if you don't hold on to the corners. Guess what you'd be perfectly fine

155
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:55,560
But if you do guess what's gonna happen

156
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Patch my home's gonna hold up another little party

157
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,880
just

158
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,880
Same but we have to talk about some stealer stuff unfortunately

159
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:11,000
And that is because our Rooney had his end of the year press conference with a select few of journalists and

160
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:14,400
Man, oh man

161
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400
this is

162
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,240
It's a headscratcher folks. I don't know how to feel about it, but uh

163
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,740
We're about to get into it. So uh

164
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,700
Buckle up. Here we go. So and I quote when you talk about change last year

165
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:32,840
We made significant changes on the offensive side of the ball brought in a new coordinator

166
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Brought in some new position coaches on the offensive side. So I would say it's not as though we haven't made any changes

167
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,840
I'm looking forward to the second year under Arthur Smith in terms of the offense

168
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,760
Preferably with one of the two quarterbacks we had on the roster this year so we can continue to develop that way

169
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,580
I understand their frustration with how we finished 2024

170
00:13:53,580 --> 00:14:00,280
It just wasn't good enough not what we expected and everybody in this building knows that we have work to do

171
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,280
And we've got to be better than that

172
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,760
We've got some big decisions to make and we're going to be rolling up our sleeves and doing the best we can to make

173
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,360
Sure, we're better next year

174
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:16,080
We had a three game stretch where we play three of the best teams in the league two of whom are in the Super Bowl

175
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:22,320
And we kind of saw where we are versus where they are and we know we've got work to do to take that next step

176
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,820
This is not something that happens very often

177
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:31,240
But the bottom line is you don't win as many games in this league as Mike Tomlin has. He's a good coach

178
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:37,840
He's as frustrated as anybody in terms of not making that next step and knows what we need to do

179
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,480
End quote now. He also has two quotes about

180
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,920
George Pickens and TJ one as well, so we're gonna get into those right now

181
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:52,400
So this is what he says about George Pickens and I quote George Pickens has room to grow and that will impact our thoughts on

182
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:58,760
How we go for with him in quote. He also has a quote I'm getting to right now, which is and I quote

183
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,080
I'd have to put in in the unlikely category. He's talking about as far as TJ. What being traded. Okay?

184
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:10,120
He goes on to say he's certainly been one of the real solid pieces. We have on that defense

185
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,520
I think he's the kind of guy we want to have in a locker room going forward in quote

186
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,480
Now when we look at all these things that he has said and there's a few other things that he also said as well

187
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:25,880
I wasn't able to find them, but he acknowledges the frustrations that Steelers fans are having

188
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,760
When it comes to you know the the playoff success, right?

189
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:37,520
And I understand, you know, everybody feels some type of way because we all want our teams to be in the playoffs, right?

190
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,040
Nobody wants to end their season, you know with everybody else

191
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,520
Everybody wants to keep on playing and try to compete for a title

192
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:51,200
But the fact of the matter is that five game stretch proved everything that we needed to know which is we're not there

193
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:59,600
We're not there by a mile. Okay when we compare ourselves to teams like the Ravens like the chiefs

194
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,200
Like the Eagles the difference with all three of them is for one

195
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:11,720
They make changes. Okay, especially when it comes to their coaches the Ravens just got Chuck Pogano

196
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,900
Out of retirement to come and work with him

197
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:23,400
Think about that for a second here folks the Ravens did that. Okay, that is a major step in the right direction

198
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,840
Okay, when we look at the Eagles

199
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:33,720
Then getting Vic van Gio and then getting Kevin Moore was a breath of fresh air because now guess what they're back in a Super Bowl and

200
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,480
This might be the year where they actually win it all. Okay, the Steelers continue to fall on their own sword

201
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,080
Okay, and the reason why I say that is because

202
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,040
When you don't hit on your on your first round draft picks

203
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,800
When you don't pull the trigger on making certain major moves for the betterment of your team

204
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Guess what happens? You're put in this situation like what the Steelers are

205
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,000
The Steelers can only blame themselves

206
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,440
For their past failures. They cannot blame anybody else

207
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,480
They have to look in the mirror and admit that listen

208
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,800
We have an organizational problem and what is that problem? We are not drafting well

209
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,320
We are not coaching well

210
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:23,720
We are not making proper adjustments and we are not trying to expand ourselves and add more people to this coaching

211
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Staff so we can be a better team

212
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,200
Instead we want to continue to run the same

213
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,120
System that we've been running for the longest time and people have caught on to it any time you have Julian Ellman

214
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:45,360
Going his podcast and basically talk about how we were running the same system back then that we are now that definitely says a lot man

215
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:51,160
We all saw how this defense was when we have Brian Flores for one year

216
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,320
I understand I am continuing to be the dead horse, but listen. This is a fact

217
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:03,280
When we made that one move for that one year you saw more production

218
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,240
Out of a lot of players that we haven't seen you know a whole lot of production from

219
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Just because we added Brian Flores

220
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,120
Just because we added somebody from the outside to give us an outside perspective

221
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:22,100
Or what we can do to take this team to the next so why in the world haven't we done that now?

222
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,520
We have to continue to stay

223
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:32,440
Fresh we have to continue to keep things going you have people like Antonio Pierce

224
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,520
Gerard Mayo

225
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,640
Mike McCarthy you have different people

226
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:45,720
Pep Hamilton Byron left which that you can bring in and that can help you with this team to take this team

227
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,320
Into another stratosphere, but because you live in your fears

228
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,320
But because you stick to traditions that at this point have not done anything for you

229
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,520
All it's done for you is just basically say hey, we're gonna live in the past

230
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:07,280
We're gonna rely on the six championships that we have and forget about trying to win in the playoffs

231
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,000
Forget about us trying to add another Lombardi

232
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Forget about us trying to do right for people like TJ Y and Cameron Hayward who are Pittsburgh Steelers through and through forget about all of that

233
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:26,880
Instead we're gonna stay in our own fears and this is exactly why we will never win another championship because you know why we will not make the

234
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:33,120
Necessary changes we will not rip off the band-aid that continues to stay on halfway

235
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,400
That's what it is. It's not because

236
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Oh, we don't have this player that player you can have all of the top players in the world

237
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,840
You can have Aaron Donald Chris Jones

238
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,560
Jalen Ramsey Fred Warner Rokwan Smith Kyle Hamilton

239
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,720
You can have all those guys on your team, but guess what if you do not have

240
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,000
Adequate coaching guess what you will never win the big game

241
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,400
You will always lose and that's exactly why we continue to get crushed and crumble

242
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,120
Against teams like the Eagles like the Chiefs because you know why they adjust

243
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:21,280
We don't that's my little rant for the Steelers on to some other stuff that we have to talk about and that is what is going on in

244
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:28,320
New Orleans because it's a little bit weird to me that they don't have a head coach by now and granted understand

245
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,400
They're supposed to be waiting for Kellen Moore because of course

246
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,080
He's the offense corner with the Eagles and they're in the Super Bowl and whatnot

247
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,520
But I mean you had Mike McCarthy that you interviewed you had a whole bunch of people that you interview

248
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,800
And you mean to tell me you wasn't interested in none of those guys really

249
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:51,480
Something is going on here folks, and I don't think nobody is really talking about it now granted. I understand

250
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,400
That the Saints job is a little bit weird

251
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,360
I wouldn't take it personally, but some people want to take on that challenge

252
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:06,720
But I don't think this is a challenge that nobody should take and the reason why I say that is because you have little to work with

253
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,280
You don't have any cap space and what I mean you don't you don't have any cap space at all

254
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,820
You don't know what you're going to do with quarterback

255
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:22,000
There's so many question marks on this roster that it's ridiculous. Okay, you would have thought that you're playing guess who that's how

256
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,440
Many question marks is on this team. Okay now if I'm killing more

257
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:33,700
Listen, you better have you a good bottle of scotch or rum or something by your desk

258
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:41,600
Because I'm telling you you're gonna be drinking some of those nights because man. Oh man, you have little to work with my friend

259
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:45,240
Okay, now with most head coaches, you know

260
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,880
You'll be in a situation where you have a few pieces that you can you know lean on you may have a little bit of you know

261
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,640
Cat flexibility you may have a good draft pick and whatnot

262
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,600
They got the draft pick, but they don't got the cap space

263
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:05,400
That's not really good, but we're gonna go more in depth about that when we talk about that division

264
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,360
We talk about the Saints. Okay, stay tuned for that that will be coming soon probably after the

265
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,360
The Super Bowl and the season is officially over with but I have to talk about the senior Bowl

266
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:24,520
Okay, have to talk about it because I've been watching it all week long and these are my takeaways so far

267
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,520
There are a lot of hidden gems at corner

268
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,300
Detackle running back and receiver. Okay

269
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,760
There are some people that are not getting a whole lot of media attention

270
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,680
But I'm telling you if you put them in the right situation

271
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,040
They could definitely hit. Okay

272
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,800
So notable names that caught my attention Ty Filton and Neas Pebbles

273
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,280
Tess Johnson grade Zabel Quincy Riley Darius

274
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,320
Alexander as your Thomas. Okay, just to name a few

275
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320
These guys

276
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,400
They're definitely gonna be some difference makers in the league. Okay, Tess Johnson

277
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,240
cooking from the first day to the last day cooking hot grease every

278
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,240
Every single day

279
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,200
Cooking it one-on-ones. Okay

280
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,280
Ezra Thomas he was doing his thing and Neas Pebbles

281
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,920
I gotta start watching more film with you sir because man. Oh man. Are you a wrecking ball?

282
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,600
Same thing with Jordan Philip Phillips as well

283
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:37,120
Gray's able I was unfamiliar with your game Quincy Riley. I was unfamiliar with your game Darius Alexander

284
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:42,360
I definitely was unfamiliar with your game my friend my green. He's like that. I

285
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:48,640
Don't care what anyone says in my mind my green is past rusher one for me. That this is just me

286
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,000
There's just my opinion. I could be wrong. You can argue with me. I don't really care

287
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,880
But my green is that guy he has a lot of upside to his game

288
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,560
I'm not saying he's gonna be an instant, you know hit

289
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,320
But I will say this he does have the skill set to definitely be a

290
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,880
Really good past rusher in the league

291
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,040
He got the size he got the skill and he has the speed

292
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:20,400
He is going to be a problem. You heard it here first on the football junkies podcast episode 64

293
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Buffalo wing boat. Okay, and the last thing is the quarterbacks were definitely struggling

294
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,680
Now I know for some people you probably don't care about that

295
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:38,000
but for others I would probably take he to it because a lot of these quarterbacks were just out of it and I think this

296
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,640
Opens up some somewhat of a of a deeper conversation that definitely needs to be had

297
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:50,120
I've been putting it off for the longest time, but I definitely need to say it and that is I think the number one problem

298
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:53,080
With a lot of these court quarterbacks nowadays is

299
00:24:53,480 --> 00:25:01,720
They're not taught to play under center and been been Rothesberger said this on on his podcast like when he was in college

300
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,360
They taught him

301
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:09,640
Basically almost every single practice to play under center and once he transitioned to the league

302
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,680
He was able to do it with little to no problems

303
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,840
but nowadays what you're seeing is a lot of these quarterbacks are either playing in

304
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:25,080
Some variation of a pistol formation or some variation of a shotgun formation. I'm sorry. That just doesn't work

305
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:30,360
They have to be able to know and to be comfortable with playing

306
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:34,920
Under center you're gonna have to do it at some point in the game

307
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,600
Because that's what a lot of the offense coordinators and coaches do in the league

308
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,480
So you have to start doing that in college

309
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:50,320
Otherwise, that's gonna be a major learning curve for a lot of these young quarterbacks, but out of all of these quarterbacks

310
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,320
I think Jaylen Milrow

311
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,160
Definitely has a lot of upside to his game

312
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:02,040
I think he is somebody that is gonna have to be put in a situation where he can sit and learn and probably

313
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:08,880
Be shown how to be a better passer because physically. I'm not really worried about that. I know he could run

314
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,440
I know he can you know do a whole bunch of crazy things

315
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,040
But it's the passing that I'm concerned about because there is a lot of

316
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,440
Inconsistencies with his past game that I think if it gets cleaned up

317
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,640
He's gonna be a problem, but I'm gonna end this episode here if you guys like what you're listening
