Welcome into the show for all of my lawyer listeners.
Welcome man, if you're new here, welcome to the show for all my lawyer listeners all over
the Southeast, Southeast Asia, Southeast America, apparently I'm popular in the Southeast.
I appreciate all of you guys for sticking with me as you can hear our audio issues have
been solved.
I don't know what's going on the past couple of weeks headset situation.
I don't know what's going on.
But regardless, we are back.
You know, a little bit of life lesson.
You know, sometimes they say you got to go back to the original before you go forward.
If I had the microphone, you think now it worked well.
I admit I got lazy.
And I didn't want to hold it anymore.
It's not a headset, I just spread my microphone, I didn't want to hold it anymore.
And then I went to a headset and it worked perfectly fine.
But as you guys, if you know if you listen to me, I've moved and in the mood, I guess
the heads that got damaged and had a weird echo background thing going on.
And it made all the audio sound weird.
And I have a couple of great shows in my opinion kind of lose their traction because the audio
sounded funny.
But I think the audio is fixed now.
Thank Jesus, the audio is fixed and now we can really get into this, really get into
the sports show.
And so under America's fastest growing sports shows, when I talk to these Asians, fastest
growing sports shows in each of the regions, I like to grow in other places.
Also shout out to you guys for continuing on the social medias.
Facebook is dropping off a little bit to pick that back up.
Instagram is steady rolling.
Twitter interactions are up.
So I appreciate all you guys for that.
We're even growing in the podcast list.
And so if you're sharing it with your friends, keep sharing it with your friends.
Tell your friends you shared it with your share with some of their friends that you may not
know.
Um, keep sharing on your social medias.
I greatly appreciate it.
I thank all you guys for that.
But with all the platitudes out of the way, with all the gratefulness and the genuine
gratefulness, I mean, I wouldn't do this if I didn't think you guys were getting the
genuine benefit out of it.
I would keep all these good ideas to myself.
But getting all that stuff out of the way, let's jump right into NFL week 15.
I've said it before, said it a couple months ago about the Chargers.
Um, and I said it last week about the Chiefs.
I know my audio was a little weird, so maybe you didn't stick through the podcast, you
threw it, but I said it last week about the Chiefs.
I'm saying it this week about the Eagles.
Something's wrong in Philly.
Like horribly wrong.
The Philadelphia Eagles came off a Super Bowl, but they feel like they should have won.
And it's not the usual, man, you know, we should have won this game or, you know, coaches
speak.
I'm a coach.
I can go back into a blowout and say six plays turn this game.
You lost by 40, but I can say six plays.
Um, you know, the game I coached in that we were out maxed from Jump Street.
You know, it went wrong on the open kickoff.
They ran the kickoff back.
And I can point to about six different plays where that game is different and we may, we
may not win it, but you're much closer than you were.
Right.
The Eagles legitimately are probably four plays away total out of a hundred to mind
play game from winning the Super Bowl to with props, um, a pass interference and a hold
go a different way.
The Eagles are probably raining defending Super Bowl champions and you get, and you
come off of that office coordinator guard, defensive coordinator, gone.
So now a fairly young head coach, a type of experience and age at this point, to be honest
with you.
Um, Nick Siriani is now having to replace his OC and his DCs coming off of a Super
Bowl run.
If there's any time you don't want to replace major staff members, it's off Super Bowl runs.
You definitely don't want to replace both because now you don't even have the continuity
of saying, well, I know the deep.
Well, let's say the office of Cornelius, say, uh, I think it's Gannon, say Gannon leaves
and goes to Arizona because the other coordinators in the Indian, but let's say Gannon leaves
and goes to Arizona.
I think it's DC, whatever.
You can at least say, okay, I know the offense is going to work.
So we'll have to ride our offense to protect our defense.
Our defense gets used to it or the deep or the OC leaves in the DC stage.
You go, well, we got hell over defense.
So let's lean on our defense, protect our defense, don't take any chance to put our
defense in a bad spot and we'll lean on our defense.
You lost both, so you don't know what's going to work.
It looks good in practice.
It looks good in the preseason.
You don't know truly what's going to work.
So the Eagles come into the season right again now, they're right off the bat having
the baseball coordinators, the players are filling the Super Bowl hangover.
They may actually be kind of rebooting something they did like a Domicom, Superpoorly may come
back, you know, so you're going into the season and you're rolling.
You can get the 10 and one, but that's crack.
Small cracks, small ones, small ones, infinitesimal ones.
Off bat offensive game here.
Secondary can be had if you don't pass rush here.
Coaching oddities on play calls offensively over here.
You know, you see that kind of what's like about it.
We'll talk about it in basketball.
There's prebiotism to other teams, too.
There'll be issues that'll be covered because you're winning.
It's not the fact that you have a great offense or great defense.
We just winning games.
They barely escape Buffalo.
You know, like the master game that stands out to me as like the red alarm fire game
is Buffalo.
Buffalo at that point was floundering.
I recall saying something's wrong in Buffalo.
Like they're floundering.
They're trying to get their life together to be kind.
Um, they're struggling and they eagles barely escape in a game that bills didn't necessarily
play that well in the Eagles barely escape and kind of the red alarm.
Something's going on bills started popping out fast forward to get smacked by San Francisco.
Not great.
But everybody lose San Francisco.
Well, that's to me the best team in the league or not.
My super bowl favorite.
I was a betting man.
I would bet San Frank.
That is the that is the super bowl bet right now.
That's the point unless it's incredibly poorly juice and they don't worry about it.
But that is the San Francisco 49ers.
Right.
So getting smacked by saying Fran isn't the world's worst loss.
It's understandable actually.
But then you go when you get punched in the mouth by Dallas, who we just saw get punched
in the mouth by Buffalo.
What's up about that?
Get punched in the mouth by Dallas.
All right.
That's really not good.
But bill, you know, nine of the best team in football.
The Niners also have that streak number last year.
Every pretty much every single team.
If not every single team that played the nine is lost the next week.
All right.
Then you go and lose to drew lock.
After you lock goes 92 yards.
You know, James Bradbury because Brad Bradbury gave every single catch in the drive.
You go 92 yards to clutch you from drew lock and you lose that game.
All of 10 hours or 20, 36 hours before the game.
There's an announcement that Sean decide who was the defensive coordinator is now going
up to the booth.
That Patricia is going to call the defensive plays also shout out on a side note, shout
out Matt Patricia being an officer coordinator and a defensive coordinator in less than
about 10, 12 months.
I mean, that's impressive.
He was a page officer coordinator.
Not a good one.
He was the ego.
And now he's the ego's defensive coordinator.
Like he's got to be one of the few guys in history to be both to be a OC and a DC.
Now, granted, technically wasn't the OC for the patrons.
So you may lose that distinction of being the only one to do that because officially
he wasn't officially the page didn't have quit last year.
Whatever.
But back to a point back to the point rather.
Um, they made the announcement that Sean decides going to the booth and that map is
just going to late radio in the defensive plays to the green dot.
The difference captain.
Basically, he's going to call the place.
Which is odd.
John reminded me when Buffalo fired King Dorsey in exchange for Joe Brady.
I'm like, the offense is working.
Josh Allen is being a nincompoop defense is working.
You just have a secondary problem.
And to me, that's more of talent than anything because Patricia on that last drive, the Seahawks
had the right calls on Bradbear just got tortured literally all the way down the fifth.
There's nothing anybody can do as a defense coordinator.
They found your weakness in football is another word, but they found your weakness and went
after him for 92 yards.
There's nothing anybody could do.
He's his own cover.
They hit his own.
He was a man cover.
They burned him on a rock.
Like there was nothing anybody could do.
Bradbury got torched.
And so something going on in Philly because maybe the offense lies on Monday night rather
was a disaster.
If they weren't touch pushing or just fly out, I'm bigger than you.
Offensive passing.
It didn't really work.
Swift was working, but for the most part, it didn't go necessarily that well.
And so maybe you didn't need an office according to the switch.
They do something in Philly right now.
They are floundering in Philadelphia.
Cincinnati bingles quarterback Jake Browning doing his best Joe Burrow impression.
Oh, he spoke about the past couple of weeks.
He's on an efficiency level question that franchise that no one's ever done but Burrow.
And usually NFL history is pretty much been Burrow.
And he is rolling.
Did not play a very good game at all against Minnesota for the most part.
But when he needed to, he well, like about a term, channeled his inner Joe Burrow.
He clustered at the end, including a great past he Higgins who made an all world effort
catching the ball in contact, playing his feet, spinning around.
It's all over just the time sports and extending the ball over goal line.
Basically not looking at it.
It's kind of reaching back for kind of knowing when he was on the field.
Insane field away and it's the same body control.
But you have that going on.
The defense held on strong and they were going against Nick Muller.
He's against the Vikings, not the world's best quarterbacks.
Tested against.
But the defense holds on strong and it is just a great moment for Jake Browning.
You got a similar moment.
We spoke about earlier, Philly, Seattle with Drew Lock.
Drew Lock much more emotional than Jake Browning was, but you get these all time moments from
these, from these backup quarterbacks that can truly potentially elevate their careers
and save the seasons of the teams that are quarterbacking.
Now, Drew Lock got a huge win over Philadelphia teams.
The only has full losses.
So this win is going to be very critical to the standings because if it's a common opponent
moment, that win over Philly may be the only different of the common opponent.
You're like, we both play the same division because NSE, so to say the NSE West, it comes
down to a team that, you know, they have the same exact record, except one beat Philly
and one didn't.
That's a huge game.
If you're Jake Browning, you're literally captaining the ship because Joe Burrow was
hurt.
And also your quarterbacking towards hands are the starting position because if you look
around the league, this quarterback draft can be deep, but it might miss.
What are you going to do for your Giants?
The Saints.
What are you going to do?
If you are, oh, man, I think some of the teams are like, I know the Bucks.
What are you going to do?
Make a Mayfield.
Um, the Raiders.
What's your plan there?
Um, Minnesota.
What are you going to do in Minnesota?
Uh, Pittsburgh.
Like, you know, there's landing spots that Browning could end up being in that could be
huge for him.
He got that opportunity because Joe Burrow got hurt.
He's taking advantage of the opportunity.
He's making some magic all over the field right now.
Kudos to Jake Browning.
Brandon Staley is fired.
And I make no, and I do, and I mean it.
I get no joy in this.
I really don't.
I get no enjoyment in this.
In the slightest.
I really don't.
I mean, when I called for his job last week, I don't like this.
But I called for his job pretty much saying he's out of there, right?
And you lose the way you lost.
You can't save your job in that moment.
Um, Brandon Staley has been fired by the Chargers.
They fired him.
They fired Dijian Tomolesco.
They fired three of the four other assistant coaches.
They made a sweeping decision to clear out the regime of the Los Angeles Chargers.
And that is truly one of those moments.
It's like, wow, you know, they came and they knew what they wanted to get done.
They realized they weren't playing Charger football.
Oh, what they deem is Charger football.
They clear house.
So kudos to the Chargers for not sinking the ship any further.
Now reportedly they are connected to John Harbaugh or Jim Harbaugh, rather.
Bill Belotech has been linked to them for the past month and a half, which was ironic
because both of the Bill Belotech had a job and Chargers had a coach for the past month
and a half.
And so now that now that Staley is fired, that that has become an even bigger connection
but to the Chargers.
Oh, the Cowboys.
Remember we spoke about them and that was like, man, they got crushed.
They got embarrassed.
You lost an NFL game by multiple scores to a team whose quarterback never passed the
ball for 100 yards.
Unless it's to be honest, if you don't throw 400 yards in the NFL, I don't give a good
care if it's mad.
Probably not going to win that game.
You're definitely not going to win the game 31 to 10.
Josh Allen was 7 of 15, 94 yards for a touchdown with a QBR of 53.8, aka slightly above average.
He beat Dak Preskap, who himself was 21 of 34, 134 yards for one interception with a
QBR of 38.5, aka below average.
Oh, and on the end of the
game, they got punched in the mouth repeatedly to the tune of 49 carries, 266 yards and three
touchdowns.
Yeah, you heard me.
The Bills ran the ball 49 times for 266 yards, 5.4 yards a carry, 3 touchdowns and the longest
one they had all night was 24 yards, where you've been agents hit you over and over and
over.
James Cook himself ran the ball 25 times for a Buc 79, 7.2 yards a carry and a touchdown.
That's what happened to the Cowboys.
They got manhandled.
They actually drafted Mazi Smith in the first round for the sole purpose of that not happening
to them.
And they got mauled in that game offensively and defensively.
Dak Preskap looked uncomfortable all night and the defense showed no signs of life against
the run game at all.
And they got absolutely crushed.
That's the kind of loss where even if you find a way to bounce it back or you find a way
to win the next week, you should think about that loss.
That's a physical beating.
That's the kind of loss where people inside the building and your fan base in the media
question how tough you are and how physical you are.
Buffalo.
Buffalo who literally.
And I do mean literally never has done that to anybody.
Has never done that to anybody.
And I do mean anybody.
Since Josh Allen here.
And even still that's not how that went down.
Did it to the Cowboys.
And one of the big things that stood out in that game, and then we'll move on to our last
game is a few statistics.
It highlighted the depth of difference between the Cowboys at home and the Cowboys on the
road.
See we all kind of have that Cowboys at, you know, Cowboys theme in our heads of what
they look like.
The Cowboys on the road.
How they have Cowboys have played seven games on the road.
Okay.
If you take away the giants in the Carolina Panthers, and this is the worst human football,
giants ain't much better.
And those two games, they were two, you know, 36 and a half points a game.
They only gave up five a game.
They just shut out one of them again.
We have sevens together or 10 to one and zero together, something like that.
Never sacked, never get a ball away.
Right.
They hold the domination of two really good and bad teams.
Good job.
In the other five games, they play on the road, which includes Arizona, the Niners, Chargers,
the Eagles and the Bills.
They are one in four.
I believe the only win is against the Chargers.
They scored 15.8 points a game down 21 points and they give up 29.2 points a game up 24 points.
Sack 19 times eight giveaways.
Cowboys at home are plus 24 points a game.
They have never lost their plus 142 yards a game.
That press guy is one of the best quarterbacks in the league at a 122.5 pass.
The Cowboys on the road in the Atlanta Falcons, and I got this from first things first, are
the same team.
Exact same win percentage points per game difference.
The Cowboys a little better, but they're still negative.
Yards per game difference, Falcons actually do better against yards.
And Desmond Ritter is only two points lower in the pass rate in comparison than that press
guy.
Your quarterback becomes Desmond Ritter and your team becomes the Falcons.
Congratulations.
Congrats, right?
You really good hope.
Sucks because you're not going to be in the number one team.
Hey, you probably not got away your division.
These men are going to have to go on the road playoffs and besides like this, he's going
to end very quickly.
But are we surprised at this point?
Cowboys.
It's like what they do.
Loose in games at night.
Congrats.
And then lastly, the Ravens take down the Jags in a game that has to be frustrating to
the Jaguars.
Because that's one of those games where as a coach, you can legitimately say six plays.
Two Miss Fieldgoals, Trevor Lawrence is fumble.
There was a blunder in the special teams era.
I mean, they can legitimately say we're six plays away from winning this game, probably
comfortably.
And you lose it decisively.
And so from the Jags, man, it's that's two weeks on the road.
The Jags have beaten themselves.
That works.
It means themselves right now.
They need to get that in the control and Baltimore to give an inch.
You know, Baltimore didn't dominate this game.
Baltimore didn't run away and hide with this game.
Baltimore didn't, you know, control this game from the outset.
Baltimore was controlled for a vast majority of it.
He did majority of it.
Baltimore was controlled, but they were able to take advantage of opportunities when they
presented themselves.
They were able to make their field goals for one.
They were able to take advantage of turnovers.
Even if they didn't move it very far, they moved it enough to flip the field back over
in the punt coverage.
You know, they were doing things to attempt to win this game.
Of course.
And they did a really, really good job of taking advantage of it.
Lamar Jackson, man, watch.
It's not me watching.
He does something you're like, wow.
I mean, literally every time you watch him, he does something that wows you.
Oh man, he escaped from a sack.
So where the defender said, how?
It's just, it's a privilege to watch him play.
And so the Ravens are a really good team, man.
I mean, the bills are probably the team I don't want to play in the playoffs because
they're going to be somebody six or seven seed and give somebody hell on earth.
But the Ravens are really, really good football team.
And you're going to have, it looks as it sits.
You're going to have to go through M and T bank to win.
And that's going to be hard to do.
You have to go through Baltimore.
It's going to be really hard to do.
Especially the Mars on this game to beat the Ravens.
All right.
Quick kidders.
CJ Stroud likely out this week.
If he continues to battle through the concussion protocol, um, prayers up to the young man.
He was dark horse MVP candidate as a rookie, mainly because no one else has jumped out.
I mean, probably Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy is probably the two niners are probably
the best favorite turned out.
Um, so probably give it to Chris McCaffrey, which would be a big thing for running backs.
Oh, and Rogers is done for the year.
I know he was teasing being medically cleared for Christmas Eve.
Um, you know, playing week 15, 16, he was at a playoff contention, uh, or weeks, you
know, 17, 18, two, the playoff contention.
He is officially out.
He told Pat McAfee just, uh, he's just a couple of weeks away.
Um, a few weeks away rather considering that it's week 16.
A few weeks away means that he probably would have potentially could have came back for
a wild card game.
The Jets aren't going to make the wild card.
Um, so his season's over, which confirms, uh, despite, despite the hope, it admittedly
despite, I kind of want to see it.
Uh, but despite the best attempt, um, Achilles saw the season in the injury.
Now he does have the advantage.
He's already practicing.
Normally with the old Achilles injury and the traditional Achilles surgery, you're on
a shelf for like nine to 10 months.
Um, and then you're pretty much working your way back that following year, week one, week
two, probably be your first few weeks practicing.
He's practicing already.
He's going to have a month, five weeks of legitimate NFL practice before he goes into the off season.
He can do a real off season program.
He could do a tradition, he could do a real off season.
He'll sort of be rehabbing.
He'll be working out strengthening, getting ready to go studying.
It's a real off season for him instead of rehabbing.
Um, and then he was activated off energy reserve for the sole purpose of being able to continue
the practice, um, which is something that he would not have been able to do had he not
been activated off energy reserve because he was in the practice.
He opened his practice window.
Um, and then that being said, once you open your practice window, you have to, you have
21 days to, um, be activated or you, uh, be out for the season.
You can't practice.
Um, and so he'll, he's course has been activated on game days.
Obviously he'll be an active, uh, but he was activated.
He can continue to practice, which is a big thing for the Packers.
I'm sorry.
The Jets.
Apologies.
The Demonta Kazee, uh, has been suspended for the year for his hit on Michael Pidman.
Um, Tom Brady spoke up in defensive Kazee saying this is what he was talking about.
And he went on a rant.
There's much of a rant as Brady had gone on, but he went on a rant on the Stephen A. Smith
show, discussing that quarterbacks have a responsibility to their receivers.
Offense has a responsibility to the offense.
Don't put yourself in a position to get your head knocked off or don't put your teammate
mission against head knocked off and then get mad at the DB for knocking his head off.
You know what I'm saying?
He was saying like he wouldn't throw the ball to certain spots.
Um, he went through the ball in certain spots against, uh, Ray Lewis because Ray Lewis
knocked his receiver out the game and now he didn't have that receiver or he wouldn't
test certain people in certain spots because that person would knock him out the game.
He was like, there's certain duty a quarterback has to receivers that, you know, to not throw
the ball in certain spots for, you know, to protect them.
And it's not the defender's fault to protect the receiver from being hit hard.
Like that's obviously shots from the head is different.
Obviously dirty hits are different, but to me that was a, that was the situation where
what was the defender supposed to do?
You know, um, men shoot those ball pitman's full extension diving out.
What is Kazi crashing down from the safety position is supposed to do in the NFL world.
He is supposed to probably get out of the way and let a pit man touch it or do some kind
of acrobatic punch at it or, you know, touch him while he's in the air.
And if he drops it, he drops it.
If he catches it, he's down right there because he laid a hit because he turned his shoulder
and laid the hit.
The issue was instead of hitting pitman in the shoulder, he hit him in the face, being
his neck back.
It was a nasty visual.
Um, and because he was throwing out the game, he was subsequently suspended for the season.
I think spending half of the season was insane.
I can see four games, um, four games regardless if he, you know, four games, including the
playoffs.
So if he, you know, the stealers make the playoffs, he'd be out, prominent, you know,
he'd serve the games needed to in the playoffs.
If they don't, he'll continue to serve him next year.
We 16, 17, 18 and then the playoff game or a station seven to 18 and then week one.
Um, he would serve his suspension.
I think spending him for the year without rages.
I also believe that if this hit was in week two and not week 15, he's not spending for
the year.
I think spending for the year was easy.
The stealers probably aren't going to go very far.
If they make it the playoffs or out in line one for it, it'll effectively be a four game
suspension.
I think if it happens in week 10, he may spend the four games anyway.
Um, so I just think of one of the situations where the NFL use the term out for the year.
Um, when they could have used the term, you know, four game suspension and it would have
been better, um, or at least better, better taken in by the casual fans.
I saw a lot of casual fans up in all of these bodies being soft and all other stuff.
And then Brady went on his defensive as well.
Um, so that would be interesting.
It'd be interesting to hear Brady in the booth.
If a bang bang plan is what happened, what is his immediate opinion?
What is his thought right that second night?
How to watch it 10 times, type it out, edit it, whatever.
What is your, you know, uh, somebody that makes the call to play off.
He got makes the call.
You're on color commentary.
Playoff play makes the call.
He goes, what are your thoughts on the hit Tom?
What is your immediate reaction?
Is it the office has duty to protect the players, the defense was in a bad spot, or is it immediate?
Like that's a rough hit and kind of placate around it.
And then later offering this ice.
So that'd be interesting what happens with Tom Brady.
And then lastly, uh, Justin Houston and Jason Pierpaugh, both have been released and both have cleared waivers from the respective team.
So two veteran eight of past rushers looking to join contending teams to add some past help both have been released and cleared waivers.
But up next, we're going to shift to our NFL week 16 second.
Welcome back into the show.
And now we're going to talk about NFL week 16, not the world's best week.
When you get this late in the season, not a minute, when you get this late in the season, you're looking for matchups that matter.
Four and eight versus three and seven or three and nine only matters to the teams that they have their graphics.
I mean, that's to be honest.
Um, 10 and two versus one and 14 or whatever.
It doesn't matter to anybody because you're going to expect the 10 and four teams to run over the one and 14 team.
You're only watching if you're a fan base.
You're looking for a lot of eight and seven versus eight and seven.
Seven and eight or seven and seven versus eight and six things that nature is what you're kind of looking for games that matter that could really tip a season.
And so it was hard to kind of do that this week, but I was able to find a few games for us to talk about with not a world's best week.
As far as games that matter to the playoffs.
Now there's a lot of similar records playing, but it's four and I four or not, you know, that doesn't really four and I five and 12, you know, that doesn't really do much for the playoff picture.
But the first game we're going to discuss is Lions at Vikings.
Not if you're a betting person, the Vikings are three and a half point underdog.
As we sit right now, according to ESPN, um, I would go with the Lions there in the wind and the cover.
Um, the Lions are hot right now.
The Lions have an opportunity to do something that they've never done and that's a lockup thing or they haven't done any very long time.
I don't believe that everyone in the NFC North actually.
The last division they wanted was the NFC Central or something, but they have an opportunity to do something that no Lions team has done, especially in the forward field era, which is when their division.
And they get to do it against the division team and against the division team that's down.
Of course, the Vikings don't have curtains.
The Viking have the, I eat no conical Jesus with the radius of the Vikings have Nick Mullins filled with the potential of Josh Dobbs coming into the game.
Now they're of course getting healthier. Justin Jefferson played last week, made it to the game. He'll play this week.
But the Lions have an opportunity here and it's one of those games.
They talk about great teams.
Not only win this game, great teams dominate this game.
Great teams win this game 35 to 10, 35, 13, 38, 21.
You know where there's no question pretty much after the first quarter, who's going to win this game, who's the better team and how dominant are they going to be?
And that's pretty much what's happening here with the Lions and the Vikings.
I think the Lions will dominate this game.
Oh, it was not shocking to see a final score of 38 20 because they have an opportunity here.
It's on the road, which is at its at some complications, but it's on the road.
It's an opportunity for these two for the Lions to just go out there and showcase that they are for real, that they are ready to go compete with the elite of the elite.
They are ready to lock in a home playoff game in Fordfield and they're going to go out there and after they're going to dominate the Vikings.
Jags at Bucks. Jags are one point underdog here.
I think it's the bit of prisoner of the moment.
The Jags been underdog here feels like a prisoner of the moment.
Baker Mayfield just had one of the best game of his career, if I have a close, but he had one of the best games of the NFL season.
Passer rating through the roof hardly.
I mean, to be I mean, I watched the tape.
I didn't see very many must I didn't see very many if any mistakes.
It looked like you checked it till the right stuff. Check out of the right stuff.
It looked like his decision making was on point.
He just looked like a quarterback in control.
He finished the game with 22 of 28 381 yards for touchdowns.
He did take five sacks, but he had a perfect pass rating of 158.3 and a QBR effectively 79.
I mean, absolutely slicing and dicing the Green Bay Packers defense.
But and so I think that them being favored, I know they're at home, you can only get three points of being at home.
But even them being favored, I think was pretty another moment with the Jags.
The Jags were a prisoner moment of both teams.
The Jags, I got spoke about earlier, have beaten themselves in two consecutive games.
Definitely against the Ravens.
I mean, the final score, I believe was 24 to 6.
But that game didn't play like 24 to 6.
That game played.
The final score is 23 to 7. I'm sorry.
But that game played like Jags 26 Ravens 20.
And then you go to the previous week, the Jaguars went up against the Browns and blew it.
You know, that flak go get his rocks off and again, just flat out beat themselves.
So it's two consecutive weeks where they beat themselves and they could have locked up the FC South and be the one seed right now in the FC.
You make the whole Super Bowl path go through Jacksonville.
But instead they're climbing up, probably not going to be the one seed.
And then honestly trying to stave off their division at this point.
And so I think it's a bit of a prison in the moment.
I don't think the Bugs have the roster capable of making the Jags beat themselves.
And I know it's weird if I'm saying they're beating themselves and the Bugs not having the roster to make them do it.
But Baltimore was able to apply certain pressures where Jacksonville kind of cracked a little bit.
They missed two field goals, pushed one, pulled the second one.
It's a classic kicker.
Trevor Lawrence in an attempt to what it appeared to me, switch hands and Stiflorn would defend at the same time.
As he was switching hand with the ball, Stiflorn came out, so did the ball.
And then there was a God awful situation at the end of the half where they got it down to the 10 with like, 9 or so seconds left.
And then instead of spiking it, Trevor Lawrence ran a hurry up out route.
The guy gets half an imbalance and the half is over.
And so instead of going to the half potentially 9-7, you go into the half 9-0 with a fumble, a run out of clock and two missed field goals for good drizzlers in the first half.
We've had five drives, four of them got inside the 30-ish.
Three of them had made it inside the red zone.
You've come up with zero.
And so that's the sort of thing that the thing in the Jags, they were dealing with the Ravens pressure and the pressure of playing the Ravens.
And the Bucks don't give it off.
Now if Baker comes out first two drives, touchdown, all bets are off. Here we go.
But I just don't think the Bucks can do it.
Baker's a roller coaster. He's going to go up, he's going to go down.
He went about as high as you can go.
You kind of get the drift.
Cowboys at Dolphins.
Cowboys plus one and a half here.
Hammer.
And I do mean hammer the Dolphins.
You saw what just happened to the Cowboys on the road at Buffalo?
To the tune of Josh Allen, 94 passing yards and they were running for 266.
You're going to go to a Shanahan disciple.
Can't stop the run.
Pretty simple run game. Can't stop the run.
But they don't know, can't say that.
Joe Brady was pulling the backside tackle. That was inventive.
But a fairly simple power game just started pulling with the guard you pulled with the tackle.
In James Cook, you're going to go to Raheem Moschert and the rest of that crew with Mike Mcgaines
with the speed of Tyree Hill and Waddle.
And you're going to try to defend that.
And the defense doesn't get much easier.
To be honest, it doesn't. It's going to hold out easier.
And you're going to have to go battle through that now.
I think the Dolphins run away and hide from the Cowboys.
I mean we've seen what the Cowboys look like on the road.
They become the Atlanta Falcons.
The Atlanta Falcons against the Dolphins?
I wouldn't.
So I think the Dolphins run away and hide from the Cowboys here.
And that they, the Cowboys, showing people in that about a third quarter,
we could be looking at 30 to 10, 30 to 13.
The last thing you want to do, get beat to sleep on the road,
is to go back on the road.
And so they got to deal with the Dolphins now at all their speed.
Two was rolling.
He could be the MVP this year.
Looking at Perdy and CMC, it might be to him.
And so he's absolutely playing rolling right now.
I have no ill things to say about to attack my lord right now.
I really don't.
But he's absolutely rolling right now.
As he's scheduled to get Tyreek Hill back,
the Cowboys can be in dire trouble.
Hammer the Dolphins here, if you're a betting man.
Bingles at Spearless?
Spearless plus two and a half?
Hammer.
I do mean hammer the bingles.
I don't understand this line.
A lot of the lines this week, especially in the games I picked,
make sense.
For instance, Vikings plus three and a half against the Lions.
Okay.
In a neutral field, that's six and a half point difference.
I'm with that.
Home field three points.
Okay, I'm good.
Got a touchdown.
Jags plus one of the Bucks.
The Bucks got three points for home.
I'm with the Bluefield, Jags a little four point favorite.
Prisoner of the moment, Jags and Beaton themselves lately.
I get it.
Cowboys line based on statistics makes sense.
Because they can get in the shootout.
I don't understand the Bingles' Stealers line.
Unless you're telling me that Mike Tomlin's going to mess with
Jake Browning so much, he keeps the game close?
I don't understand it.
Because to me, if the Bingles goes 24 points,
they run away and hide with this game.
I don't see the Steelers.
It's starting to make some room off now instead of the disaster.
No, it's with the Chibisky.
But I don't see the Steelers go more than 17 points here.
So in order for that to happen and plus two and a half to hit,
the Bingles have to go less than 20.
Can you see what I'm saying?
It's unlikely.
I don't understand the line here.
Now this is plus three and a half plus four.
Get it.
I'm with you.
In a neutral site, they say Bingles plus five and a half.
Bingles minus five and a half.
I understand that.
Again, I would think plus three and a half plus four here for the Steelers.
Not really plus two and a half.
You're looking at a Jermaine Chase.
You're looking at a T Higgins.
You're looking at a Tyler Boy.
You're looking at a Joe Mixon.
Jake Browning is playing really, really efficiently.
I think they go 24, 27, 30.
I don't see the Steelers.
They're looking past 17.
So with that being said, hammer the Bingles here.
The Bingles is going to win this game.
And lastly, Ravens plus five and a half at San Francisco.
Take the San Francisco 49ers here.
These are two physical teams.
These are two quarterbacks who are doing their job fairly well.
You know, you've got Brock Purdy, who's one of the top passers in leagues,
like being less intense.
You've got Lamar Jackson, who's trying to overcome the loss of Mark Andrews.
His tackles are being hurt all over the place, but his defense is legit.
He's making pop plays.
He'll hit Zay Jones.
He'll hit Odell Beckham.
He'll dance around himself.
So you've got that going on.
And they said San Fran.
San Fran will pick to win the Super Bowl.
A lot of people say they'll see the Super Bowl preview.
There's some weird color thing going around social media about the colors,
the team colors that appear in the Super Bowl ad have gone to the Super Bowl
for so many years in a row, and this year was San Fran and Baltimore.
So a lot of people say this is the Super Bowl preview.
I don't think Baltimore is making out of the AFC,
but I think San Fran is holding the title at the end of this year,
which is going to be very dire for my Brock Purdy take.
But I have to eat pro.
It is.
Unless he plays bad in that game and they still win.
So keep that posted.
But I think San Fran is the best in the football.
This is the most complete team in football.
You look at it, they've got two all-pros in the offensive line.
They've got an all-pro full back.
They've got an all-pro running back.
They're probably going to have an all-pro or a pro-bo level quarterback.
They've got an all-pro or a pro-bo level receiver, if not two of them.
They've got an all-pro tight end or a pro-bo level tight end.
That's the offense.
We're not even going to talk about that defense.
They've got six first-round picks on the D-line.
They've got the best midline back in the game.
They've got a pretty solid second-day.
Her fungus hurt.
So the second day is not as crisp and clean as it normally is.
But they are ridiculously talented.
John Lynch is a great roster there.
Kyle Sanderhan is deploying goodwill.
And I just got the 49ers winning this game.
Plus five and a half.
I still take the 90s.
I've got the 49ers winning this game 30 to 17.
I just don't think the Ravens have the guns right now to compete in the site.
But up next, we're going to shift to the NBA and talk about us going down with the association.
Welcome back into the show.
And now we're going to jump into the association.
Entering tonight's game.
So I'm recording this Wednesday night as you guys know.
It's a very typical of me to do some record Wednesday night.
And of course, you'll hear this Thursday morning.
But as it releases Thursday morning, these standings probably won't change a whole lot.
Maybe a couple teams will be around.
But the teams themselves will all be there.
But out east, we have the Boston Celtics, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Philadelphia 76ers,
the Orlando Magic, the New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavs.
Those will be the 16 automatically in with no play in tournament to deal with for those organizations.
And then of course, you've got the Miami Heat, the Indiana Pacers, the Brooklyn Nets,
the Toronto Raptors and the Atlanta Hawks.
So those teams, the Hawks is the current 11th seed.
They would not be in.
But the other teams would be in the play in tournament.
The Hawks and the Raptors actually tied in the Los Colombs.
And then out west, we have the Timberwolves, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets,
the Sacramento Kings, the Dallas Mavs, the Red Hot Los Angeles Clippers would be the top six in the west.
They would automatically be in. And then the New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers, the Houston Rockets,
the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors who won game behind the Suns.
Or the next five, the Pelicans, Lakers, Rockets, Suns would be the play in tournament with the Warriors again at the moment.
One game out.
One team that was not mentioned in those 22 teams I named are the Memphis Grizzlies.
They're currently seven and 19, I believe. There's six games out of eighth.
Six games out of eighth. But they're a while back.
They're struggling right now because they have played their 25 games without John Miranda.
That sentence is over.
He arrived last night in New Orleans, much to my chagrin because I am a Pelicans fan.
But he arrived last night in New Orleans. They sit six and a half back from the Grizzlies.
But he arrived last night in New Orleans, much to my chagrin.
And early the Pelicans dominated. They were up as many as 24 points.
Then the woods came off the bus.
Memphis like turned the intensity up. I don't know if that was a John Miranda effect.
Having him back, turning those guys up, I'm not sure.
But they went to work. John Miranda himself scored 14, I believe, in the fourth quarter.
Including the game-winning buzzer-beating layup over Herb Jones, which is a painful video,
but it's probably hilarious for people, where Dyson tried to come in from behind the blockip,
and he both missed the ball and high-five in the air as John drops in.
The floater bounces around the rim and drops in as time expires to complete his ultimate comeback.
He finished the game with 34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists. He looked gasped.
But there was a couple of moments in the game late where they kind of got saved.
There was a review or dispute about something where John Miranda got to rest.
Then the suit and possession on defense, they put him on a person in the corner,
and that person wasn't involved in the action. Got to rest some more.
Then there was a free throw right after that. He got to rest some more.
Then they powered him up for the last minute and a half, two minutes, and they completed the comeback.
T.J. McCullum missed a couple of bad, I mean, missed badly a couple of threes late.
Then if he hits the three, now that's forced the good is to get a three.
Instead of John being able to be tied and go for the layup, he'd be down three, and have to make a shot.
Matt had still hit it the way that game was going, but so he looked great in his return.
He hit the shot at exactly 9-0-1, which is the area code for Memphis.
It is one of those storyline moments. If you believe in scripts or sports, this couldn't get any more scripted.
I mean, he comes back as this great game. Most points ever in a game.
Most points ever in a game, or person's first game back when they missed 25 consecutive games.
So he needs some long, thin to break. He has the most points ever in the first game back.
He hit it right at 9-0-1, which is Memphis area code. He does it in a 24 point comeback.
He does it against Zion Williams, who was the number one pick in his draft.
He was in a job with number two. He does it on the road.
The only thing that would have been better, probably, was in Memphis.
But he does it on the road. His dad's in the crowd.
He's the buzzer beater. Like, I'd say outside of it being in Memphis, I don't see how this could have been any more perfectly storyline for John.
Which, considering he probably feels like it's him against the world, for the most part, probably on the road was better.
You know, with him, you know, Zion, you know, Brandon, he stayed with Brandon, then he got the lead in his comeback.
He has 34, 6, and 8. He hits the game winner. He gets the post game interview.
And it's just, it was a story there. And it was a great moment to watch.
Like I said, I have to remove the fan me being a Pelican fan and observe the moment, especially this person's media.
And it was, it was a dope moment. I can't even lie to you. It was pretty cool to see.
So Kudos to John Morant. I hope he keeps his head on straight. He's an absolute joy to watch.
And I hope that he is one of the faces of the lead.
Very, very long time. Along with Zion, of course, as Luca, but in the NBA, traditionally in American face.
So I'm hoping this John Morant, Zion Williamson, that group Tatum, Cooper Flags coming up, that group that really elevates the NBA to another level.
We spoke about it earlier. Man, those red hot Los Angeles Clippers, they've won eight straight.
They've won, oh man, I want to say 12 of the last 13 or something like that.
13 of the last 14 somehow raised this number and they've done it. James Hardnett point guard.
Russell Westbrook's minutes has greatly diminished and they're running James Hardnett point guard and he is absolutely cooking people.
Because now, instead of Russ bringing it up as a non shooting threat and then kick to harden, now Russ becomes a non shooting threat.
Everybody's getting helped off and helping off Russ at all times. Russ is not really playing.
So now it's the bunch of dangerous opponents, Zubox and the pain. You've got to shoot, you've got Koai, you've got PG, you've got Hardnett.
You've got to make a decision. And that decision for most people has been let Hardnett go and he's been going.
He hit a clutch and won three recent yield into the crowd. I mean, he looks like James Hardnett.
He looks like contract here, James Hardnett. He looks like I need to prove myself again, James Hardnett.
He's absolutely rolling. The Clippers are rolling. Everything's going swimmingly in Clipperland.
They're right now the better team in LA, which they've been regular season, record wise for the vast majority of the Lebron era with the Lakers.
Resting when they got Koai and PG, they've been the better regular season team for the vast majority of that time period.
And so right now they're rolling again. They're flew past the Lakers and the standings and the Lakers hung their N-Season banner, which again is a banner the Clippers don't have.
And with the Clippers, it's just absolutely rolling right now. Kudo is for those guys.
And now you're probably thinking, okay, Justin's been a little too nice to the Clippers.
You guys know how I feel about the entire collection of people. Russell Westbrook, you're not going to win him as your primary decision maker.
He's not going to win if he's a key contributor to your team.
Russell's basically out there. Like he plays, but doesn't really matter.
Okay? James Hardnett cannot be a focal point of your offense.
He's the point gone pretty much in spearheading their offense. That's not going to work.
Kowaii Laird has yet to get hurt. He's yet to get injured. Rene's been in my time.
Now going to work. Paul George has been routinely under the past couple of years, especially late.
Waiting on that and Tyron Lewis only shown the ability of the championship level head coach when he's coaching the greatest basketball player to ever dribble, which is LeBron James.
I don't see LeBron James on the Clippers, especially in the prime LeBron James.
So therefore I'm still standing by the fact that the Clippers won't see the third round, neither with the Phoenix Suns, because they can't stay healthy.
And their thing, and they don't play defense, is almost as if I said it when they made the trades. Whatever.
But the Clippers will not play meaningful games in late May. It's not what they're built to do.
They're built to be entertaining in the regular season and to flame out and people go, what happened to the Clippers when they lose?
Right now they because of the nuggets and they would lose to the nuggets in five games.
It doesn't matter what James Harden does. It doesn't matter what Kauai Leonard does.
As long as Paul George does, they'd be out in five because James Harden is not a playoff performer.
Kauai Leonard's body doesn't stay healthy at long and PG is neither of those things.
So that is a downside for the Clippers. But hey, great A-game win streak.
I actually am quite impressed. I don't want to talk about casting there. I actually am quite impressed. How good they're looking.
Then a couple of shooter news. Damian Lillard joined the 20,000 point club.
Congratulations to Damian Lillard. He had a great game when he broke it.
But he has joined the 20,000 point club. Right, there's only one person, the 40,000 points.
Then Steph Curry's mind blowing streak of 284 consecutive games with a 3 pointer made was snapped against the Wizards.
Ironically, I think it was the Wizards. Raptors? Wizards. Somebody not that good.
But his streak was snapped. He started it back up last night against Celtics.
But his streak, I think it dated back to like 2018 of 284 consecutive games making a 3 pointer was snapped.
They had a couple of good looks at one late and just dated didn't go in.
So, and then of course against the Celtics, he's flicking up shots late and draining them like moonballs and then draining them and hitting the night night celebration.
So he's back. But you know, just for that one game, he was off and his streak was snapped.
But up next, we're going to have Jack's Hot Take, which is going to be a discussion about the early signing period and the transfer report.
Welcome back into the show and welcome into Jack's Hot Take, which is going to be a talk about the college football landscape of early signing day transfer, etc.
So as you guys know, if you listen to me, I'm sure more than a couple of you know, I coach on football.
And I'm also really into big sports, obviously. And one of my favorite sports is college football.
And so when I was growing up, the transfer portal didn't exist.
And I'm not that old, more than 26, but the transfer portal didn't exist as a kid.
If you transferred from a school, you cannot stay at the same level.
If you want to stay the same level, you were in Elger before you hear coaches traditionally blocked you from the conference and blocked you from anybody that was going to be on the schedule the rest of your collegiate career.
So if you were, let's say you were at LSU and you wanted to transfer to Miami, well, LSU couldn't block you from playing, from going to anywhere.
So if you want to stay from LSU, you want to stay at the same level. You were interested in Miami.
LSU could restrict your transfer. You can't stay in the conference and you can't go to anyone on the schedule for the next two to three years, whatever.
Unless you're Elger really, if Miami was in final mode of registration for some reason, you can go to Miami.
So now you were in a bad spot with your coaching staff. And if you want to transfer to Miami, you couldn't because they put restrictions in you.
That was a part of your condition for being released from your scholarship commitments.
So that put a lot of pressure on people. People often would say, okay, I'm not going to do that.
What I'll do is I'll go down. See, came to believe in Florida being at Blaine College.
FBS to Juco was a bit far. A lot of people with FBS.
Well, if you FBS, football, bolder subdivision to Juco, you could come back up immediately.
That's why he went from Florida to Blaine, down there at that Blaine, back up to Auburn because there was no restriction there because he was Juco.
If you went to FCS and you tried to come back up, you were stuck a year.
So climbing a level, you're out of year, same level, you're out of year.
Going down your LGBT immediately, going to Juco, your LGBT immediately, Juco up your LGBT immediately.
Cool. Let's get the rest of that away.
Well, in this thing, a few years ago, I got popular because of the transfer portal.
That was when a whole bunch of kids were unnamed in the transfer portal. Not a whole lot of kids are unnamed in the transfer portal.
Then the Insta-88 instituted a rule of the one-time free transfer.
And it was designed, I believe for COVID, but it was a one-time free transfer.
The argument was how can a coach recruit a kid and then leave the kid and the kid stuck?
One of the arguments, my argument was how can you hold a kid to a community of 17, 18 years old?
Next, for the rest of his life, he's held to that decision.
It's not like he committed a crime and not his service sentence.
He simply chose effectively the wrong place of employment and you're going to dictate the rest of his life off, again, effectively choosing the wrong place of employment.
Every other student on campus can, there may be a little penalty, but like, for me, I went to Southeastern.
If I had decided how this would lose any university, if I had decided and at one point I was considering it to go to undergrad at LSU, I would lose a couple of credits, but I'd be allowed to move.
You see what I'm saying?
If, let's say, Tachy Curtis, he's a USC transfer.
Before the transfer, before the one-time free transfer, he would have had to play at Northwestern State or go all the way down to Juco and then come back up.
You know, and that was a dangerous game because what if, you know, the coaches, you know, they say LSU won't let them send you to Juco we like and then we'll get you back.
But if he gets hurt there, he's not tied to anybody. He's not, you know, there's no, you know, you can't write out on paper.
Transfer to Blend College will get you after a year. That's a wink-wink phone call agreement that you go to this college, play well, develop your world, make sure it works, and then you'll come back up to us.
There's, I mean, there's no guarantee of that, right?
So then they put in the one-time transfer rule and the portal got active because now guys who were second, third strings with the same class, let's say you and another quarterback came in together, you lost the battle, whatever, you're on the same grade, you're on the same class.
Well, you would have to register to try to avoid them and even then you don't have one year left and that's saying you beat the other guys that come in.
And then you're on the same grade, quarterbacks flew in the portal, linemen flew in the portal, kickers flew in the portal because now they were able to try and make their own opportunity.
These days is pretty much a free-fraud transfer portal. I don't believe it's a one-time rule. I think you can do whatever you want in the transfer portal now.
But what people say was, oh, this is taking the opportunity from the high school kid. This is killing the high school kid. This is ruining the high school opportunity because, for instance, one school just took a visit to SMU, a whole school went, and the coach turned around and now says players at SMU are taking five freshmen this year.
I think it's four or five freshmen. Out of a class of 30 something, they're going to take five freshmen, the rest are going to be transfers.
Now it's a little bit different. SMU, they have a new staff. C. Dion San is what he did in Colorado, even though most of his class had signed today, it was freshmen too.
And that big left tackle that made the big thing about going on undisputed and committing to Colorado and help players like us, didn't sign today and it looked like you're going to go to Maryland and a bidding war.
So that whole big stink was power play. Good for that kid. But it hurts Dion because he was going to count on that kid. Anyway, whatever.
So they're going to take five freshmen out of a class of 30 something. Five of them are going to be high school kids. Okay, that hurts, right? It does.
But what about the kid? What about early signing period? My contention is that early signing period hurts more than the transfer report.
Because the transfer report on Maycheap, the fringe FBS guy or the fringe guy at a level and make him go down a level.
But then if he can simply ball out on that level and transfer back up, maybe get a better opportunity. Maybe he was a fringe guy for the FCS level.
He goes to D2, balls at D2 gets in the portal and now he's power five. You know, now he's whatever because he said they had that chance to grow.
So to me, that doesn't hurt them. I think the early signing period does more damage. Here's why they changed the calendar.
So what happened was it put national recruiting to the forefront first because usually you try and lock in your state through December Christmas New Year.
And then whenever you don't feel like you're locked in commitment wise, that next cycle you are the established national relationship.
But now that it's all American games, they're about uncommitted talent, you can talk to these guys, whatever.
Now you have to focus on those guys before they even get to early signing period.
So now, for instance, look at LSU for instance, they had 27 commitments, all 27 signed today.
So LSU is not evaluating another high school player in the rest of the cycle. They were 125.
No other class of 2024 player will be signed to LSU. Maybe two or three.
Maybe that's not even counting the transfers that come in. That's all fresh.
You know, I said maybe two or three. But now that friends guy who maybe got that spin the block look on February when two of the commitments flip, he's not getting that look anymore.
You look at, I look at an FCS. Southeastern is going to sign most of that class this year.
What happens if it is a left tackle somewhere who's actually pretty good but didn't really get put out there.
When not his spots not available, they would have been a, he would have had a chance to be evaluated for February signing day.
He doesn't get a chance to be evaluated for December. That spot's gone. Now he's not available to that spot.
So yeah, the transfer portal is an opportunity. It's a hurting because instead of being a 25 freshman class and two or three transfers, it's six, seven freshmen at the big, big, big level.
Man, it's about big, big, I mean like first year coaches instead of being 50 freshmen or 40 freshmen, they're getting 45 transfers and five freshmen or six freshmen because the pressure to win immediately is so great.
But unless you decide 27 freshmen, Alabama just signed 20 some odd freshmen. Georgia signed 20 some odd freshmen.
But Dion is still transfer porcelain because he has to win that. Those are the four years that have been established.
But those friends players who popped this year, now aren't getting an opportunity at the next level, at the level that they should be on because they're not ready for early signing period.
They would have all this left for the fifth year. So to me, the early signing period does as much if not more damage to the high school prospect than the transfer portal.
But that is all I have for today. I think you guys for joining me. We want to live over an hour here. So I appreciate you guys rocking in with me.
My audio issues are fixed. Pratially, I believe we're good there. I think you guys for rocking out with me.
Merry Christmas. I won't talk to you guys again before Christmas. I talked to you guys between Christmas and New Year.
Merry Christmas to all of you guys and your friends, your family. I hope you have a great day. I hope the blood of Jesus covers you all as you celebrate Christmas and enjoy.
Talk to the kids on break. Have a great break. Stay safe to the parents.
Hunker down for a couple of weeks to my fellow teachers and coaches. Enjoy the break. Watch some basketball. Watch some football. Really enjoy yourselves.
But that is all I have for today. This is your owner and host, Justin Jackson. Signing out.
Thank you.
