Happened to everybody but uh it’s great cuz there’s always a rule that the old line has to meet before the rest of the people meet so you’re there by for sure at 6:30 the first meeting is happening someone’s like hey the [ __ ] you at like dude I’m getting breakfast real quick

Things on our minds around the football world I would love to start if I could please stop pleas please I have changed my mic from our text messaging last night I have a new mic new mic hot route hot route can can can the old play Can

Can the new mic is Aaron roders oo because this narcissist after after 3 and a half weeks so the dude tears his Achilles and the next morning he’s on you know mat the and whatever and he’s like hey you guys are going to be blown away by how fast I

Come back from this Achilles injury we I’ve already talked to you would believe who I have talked to and the therapies I have scheduled to come back in fact I might come back next week if you don’t watch out of course the next he takes like a week off from traveling the next

Week he’s like walking in a walking boot on the sidelines before the Jets game and then he’s throwing the old pig skin around a couple weeks later and then they they start his practice clock a couple weeks ago too and people are like is he serious seriously going to 12

Weeks after a kill for real this dude’s and of course the Jets are just losing their ass they’re getting beat 30 to nothing you know they’re 5 and eight and like is this dude real is he for real and as it turns out he gets asked yesterday on the Pat McAfee show okay

Where we at here you know you guys are kind of On The Fringe of this playoff thing maybe not even The Fringe anymore and he goes well it’s only been 14 weeks since the operation I haven’t been 100% medically cleared yet it’s like this was always the destination but he needed 3

And 1 half months to feed his ego and make it seem like he was going to be the first guy to come back 5 minutes after tearing his Achilles Aaron Rogers you are my mic you are a fraud sir listen to be fair I bet you if they were going to

Be in playoff contention no U I’m telling you we seen him walk that’s the problem you’ve seen him throw a ball and they said that he caught an interception in practice does it matter that’s practice dude does it matter clearly crazy he was all about it he was all

About it he was like dude I’ll do it and then the minute they lost he was like well where the [ __ ] I come back he sounded just like every other GM I heard oh he’s coming back and then the minute you’re out of playoff contention they go

Why the hell would we bring him back you guys suck dude the second he would have stepped out there in real life bullets were flying not practice right like I’m talking real life bullets full speed he’s got Ed Oliver breathing down his neck that [ __ ] would have snapped so

Fast for sure would done it snap crackle pop do you know who they play on on on Thursday night next week they play at Cleveland next Thursday can you imagine that dude playing a December 28th game at Miles Garrett miles Garrett chasing you down it for sure would have popped

But he would have done it that’s what’s so crazy about it he seemed like he was really into it like he was like this is this is how I want to go out that’s what he wants you to think congratulations ulations you you drank the Kool-Aid you

Listened to the man behind the curtain like you it absolutely finally show these guys that you guys aren’t all [ __ ] could some quarterback come out and help us please so yeah I mean he hey if he comes back next year that’s great but at the

End of the day it’s funny cuz like the Jets after all of the pump and Circumstance and Fanfare the Jets sit in the exact same spot that they always sit which is dead bottom of the division yep just like more headlines on the negative side than you ever could have imagined

And wondering what’s the path forward getting shut out yeah does Salah get fired is the question no he has Grace he has the defense has been crushing because the defense has been better and good and you can’t you can’t stake your claim and say I’m bringing in a Hall of

Fame quarterback to write the ship and then five minutes into the season you lose him and then lose your job I think he gets one more year he gets one more year if [ __ ] does year no you got to ass they got to run it

Back you got to assume you got to run it back because again you intertwined your fate with Aaron Rogers right you now have said like if he dies I die if he goes I go like and it’s not a bad guy to hit your wagon to but he definitely gets

One more year it is a bad look though to you know and they’re without Aaron roggers and I get it but like it’s a bad look to have lost six out of your last seven games down the stretch here and they should beat Washington at home this

Weekend but then you’ve got at Cleveland I mean if you wind up losing eight of nine or something it’s bad it is it is a bad look to be fair though their defense has been playing fire like I think at one point I watched the game they were

Losing 3 to2 I was like this is incredible like they had a 30 they’ve they can’t stop Miami they’ve given up 64 points no not many people can Dude Buffalo dropped 32 but if you can’t the thing is like I would I I don’t think he

Gets fired either but in the the last three division games two against Miami one against Buffalo they’ve allowed almost 100 points in those three games combined and you can say well that’s Miami and Buffalo right but like those teams aren’t leaving your division like they’re they’re sitting there so also

When your offense is going three and out every single play like the defense eventually just gets worn down yeah do you guys think like environment matter if Zach Wilson had been drafted by let’s let’s say the 49ers drafted Zack Wilson three years ago what does his career

Look like did the Jets largely help ruin Zach Wilson or was Zach Wilson just not really an NFL quarterback I I think that’s too early to tell I think the problem is this when you look at a system like San Francisco’s it’s very quarterback friendly but at the same

Time it’s not like yeah we stangle this ball out to Christian mcaffry a lot and we let him do a lot of things but I as Brock py still have to throw the ball 15 yards over the middle of the field how many times have we broken down that play

Where we just watch him gunsling it right across the middle I don’t care what you say any quarterback should be able to quarterback any offense unless it’s a pocket passer style offense to a mobile quarterback offense that’s the only two things that are different other than that it’s the same wheel routes

It’s the same whip routes it’s the same digs and comebacks like you reading a defense just takes time I think the problem becomes with me and Zach Wilson is I just don’t have any time more time for this nonsense it seems like everything’s always a joke and it seems

Like oh you know he wants to come back but he says he doesn’t want to come back and all of a sudden he’s in the media for this and he’s in the media for this dude you’re a Young quarterback just go out there and hand the ball off and

Throw it shut up who the [ __ ] asked you so much like I’m being honest there’s so many opinions in these teams and people s finally sit back and you know who’s sitting back going oh my God the Vets uh shut up so many more questions I have to answer now because you just

Don’t know when to shut up and neither does anyone else around us and sometimes people think it’s funny to play this like oh let’s throw them in the media game and see what happens and obviously New York you’re always going to but you would think a team like that would just

Be so much more honed in that when the media comes in they’re just like they were like us in 16 with the Vikings I got to go to lunch I’ll be back and then you never come back and then the next day they see you and they’re like I thought you were coming

Back no oh I’ll get you tomorrow you’re stupid later yeah I don’t want to say anything leave me alone but it’s just like and I feel like a lot of it is these loose sources that come out but for the most part I think the Jets

Defense is fire I just think that what’s going on on offense and you can say whatever you want I was all about the fact that Aaron Rogers was going to come back because maybe I was the only guy that wanted to see some real fun

Football come out of New York but at the same time that would have been a great story you can’t tell me that wouldn’t have been awesome teres is Achilles the first game comes back week 14 gets him into the playoffs tears it again we so negative see you go right to the worst

Thing no possible way the other one there is there is you’ve had you’ve had tended surgery before haven’t you or no MM okay no surgeries I I totally understand I don’t need surgery to play that’s why I’m saying you don’t need these body parts T my shoulder I’ve tore my ACL I’ve tore

My ankle tendon so have I no you haven’t like a major one that causes you to not be able to walk yes Alex no it’s inverted inverted throw your dude yesterday the rookies were looking at me like I didn’t know it was this bad oh

Yeah goes all the way in and then back out it’s just how you play you know how you guys ever see like the Joe thyman video from from the 80s where he where Lawrence Taylor snaps his leg in half that’s what Alex looks like just like in

Everyday life where it’s like is that guy’s leg broken what’s what’s going on there why has his legs were so skinny when he played dude uh one of the dads on Monday saw me walking was like you and I buddy you and I we’re going to be

Together I was like oh God I was just hurts watching it meanwhile the dad’s like 65 and you’re 35 I’m not kid he looked at me like you see this this is you soon I was like no no should could have had some surgery should have talked to Rogers guy maybe

Huh no I hey Honestly though I always got afraid I’m not a fan of going under I am not an anesthesia fan zero zero fan of it had one surgery woke up and they were like listen before we say you anything before we tell you anything just remember we were your friends

Before this surgery and I was like what happened they were like well we went to go stick something in you and your heart stopped for a good 15 20 seconds Bubba like you were dead and I was like shut up they’re like seriously dude scared

The [ __ ] out of us I go really and they’re like yeah and the guy the guy doing the surgery goes and it scared me the most because I was joking about it before but you went to Ohio State I went to Michigan and I thought everybody was

Going to say that a Michigan doctor killed an Ohio State player I was like he was like seriously dude I [ __ ] my pants cuz I was like oh my God if he dies on this table we are in so much trouble that’s why I don’t ever want to

Have surgery again never again see ever I love anesthesia I don’t know if that makes me a weirdo dude but I absolutely love waking up out of anesthesia I think it’s the most like caling the most relaxing like you come out like they I always try and see how far I can count

Like when they tell you to count to 10 like all right I’m like and then like you wake up and they’re like how do you feel you’re like great how how’s everything and they’re like okay how’s your pain and you’re like it’s okay and they’re like oh we’re

Going to give you a little bit more pain P then you just like float back into the abyss like I love waking up out of anesthesia sign me up for that 8 time I will gladly do I never said that was bad no I’m all about that clearly you know

Me Jay I don’t say no to Good Times that part’s great the part where your heart stops for about 30 seconds a long forever nap is it my mic is it Alex’s mic it’s your mic go ahead my mic is anesthesia no I’m kidding

Um my mic is going to have to be I’m torn between two here so we might have we have a but the first one is you just you hate to see it Brandon Staley and Tom Tesco out there in charg rville just what is happening to that

Team right and I was watching that game on Thursday night and you’re just watching it going don’t even bring him out in the second half like just put him in the locker room and say Here’s your locker here’s your box we’ll figure it out without you because I have never

Ever in my life seen an NFL team quit like I watched the Chargers quit on Thursday Night Football like it was just unbeliev you let Aiden oconnell look like pton man thing like it was unbelievable watching that game and you knew the writing was on the wall and I

Think I think the ownership the Spanos did not want to have to do this in the middle of the year they were like let’s just get through the end of the year and start over but when you put a performance like that up as a coach and

As a GM you’re not allowed in the building the next day and it’s tough to see CU every year we fall into the Trap of is it the Chargers year is it time for them to take the AFC West but man Staley he will be known for the

Analytics and doing some really stupid things on fourth down but hell of a way to go out dude just burn the boats as I guess it’s always you you know it’s bad too when the media starts to feel empowered to like really poke at the coach and that that started happening

With Staley even and that’s not exact I mean Los Angeles media especially covering the Chargers feels a little more laid-back than like the Jets reporters who are just ready to burn it all down but dude he gets done with that game and they they’re literally down

Like 49 rip at one point and you and he knows and he was incredulous two weeks before that right he’s like don’t ever I I call the plays you know sit back down yeah and dude the the some reporter and I I wish I knew who it was he wasn’t on

Camera he goes do you think you’ll still be the coach tomorrow and St and Staley goes I I don’t know and then and then he follows up and says do you think you deserve to be the coach tomorrow and Staley’s like I man I I I don’t know man

Like I back what a terrible answer are you a bad father and a bad coach too Brandon it got to the point that where like even the national TV people were like this is like I can remember watching Aman and every time there be a fourth down he’s like well here we go

Again it’s Fourth Down Staley’s going to just probably do something crazy here in his own 20 yard line I just don’t understand it Joe right like it’s like the whole National media too just started making fun of him like as he do things and be like I just I get what the

Analytics say but the analytics don’t know about momentum and I don’t know I get it like he was a gambler and he did all those things but I just felt like he made terrible decisions yeah it was like also I that’s your old team man like so

You Jeremiah played for the Char I mean Tom Tom brought me in I have I lot Tom got my career started in the NFL like Tom Tesco the GM always had a lot of respect for Tom he traded me away for a sixth round pick like sure but I mean to

One foul swoop in the middle of December be like no we we aren’t waiting this isn’t we’ve seen enough right like scoop it out throw it out the window with the baby with the bath water like you’re just like holy crap man that’s that’s when you know it’s it’s hit a boiling

Point inside the building when they I mean he didn’t make it till Monday like afternoon I it was like 6:00 a.m. I got alert on my feeling there like sources Brandon Staley and Tom Tesco out I was like did they even let him come back in the build you know walking right yeah

Like how does that work do you get a how does that work if you’re a coach and you’re going to get fired the next day middle of the season do they wait for you to come in cuz you’re probably coming in anyways or do they call you

And now you you call you call you and then the the Teamworks app will probably send out a giant text message to everyone on the team like that’s us like you probably wake up to like team meeting 7:30 and you’re like up I know what that is oh yeah you do you’re just

Like that’s uh that’s the old death the old Viking the old Viking funeral there pal right not going to work here anymore how do you guys know when a team quits on a coach how can how can you tell saw you saw it you saw it in that game it’s

Not I’m not even kidding you literally see it yeah you get blown out and you’re literally on the sidelines like I don’t [ __ ] care this guy sucks I mean you see any emotion was there any emotion on the sideline where you’re like watching guys spiking helmets and at one point

There was like a 380 lb guy running for a touchdown 50 yards and nobody chased him yeah and like no one on the sideline was trying to Rally like hey this this [ __ ] stops now right like we turn it around everyone was just like all right

Ethan stick let’s see what you got right like it was just there was just no fight right that’s when you can tell when a when a team has given up when they just there’s no fight right and I haven’t seen it like I haven’t seen it that bad

In a long time I was in a bar in Mitchell South Dakota and I was watching the Husker volleyball semifinals and this lady tried to come up be like it’s Thursday night we need to change it I go no one wants to watch this [ __ ] I was

Like no one wants to watch Aden o Connell vers Ethan stick on a Sat on a Thursday night like please don’t change this and I was like look at the score no one cares like it was it was even Ethan stick’s family was like it’s we can

Probably turn to Vol now second quarter H go to be fair if they fire you if they’re paying you a lot of money and they fire you midseason you really piss somebody off cuz they’re paying you Millions to do nothing for the rest of the year like that doesn’t happen a lot

These guys will get their money not the NFL the college happens more happens more in college than the NFL I my like jimo Fisher they’re like hey here’s $75 million to go away to be fair I bet you a lot of it is because if you’re going to fire or

Somebody mid-season you’re wrapping it up like the chances of you coming out of that like something really bad has gone wrong you’re not going to the playoffs the next I mean look at look at the uh Panthers as soon as they fired Frank Reich everybody was like oh my God could

It get any worse and then all of a sudden they went out and beat the Falcons and we were like holy [ __ ] no way is this for real I think the Falcons might have to be my mic F I mean just J hold on before you get to your mic I

Have one more Chargers question yes it’s a it’s a two-word question Jim Harbaugh or about how about another two-word question bill bich bill bill doesn’t go to La see can you imagine bill in La I actually could yes no you can’t you don’t know Bill that well

Then I don’t I don’t know I think it’s more Harbaugh than anything but I think the problem is this there’s so many people right now making a name for themselves look at the Houston OC look at um look at the Ravens DC like all these guys are making their names and

Eventually this is going to be the new pool of talent like people are always and this is maybe this is going to be my mic we’re always digging into the same goddamn bag for coaches can’t we go out and find some new coaches I’m so sick of

The same Carousel oh here we go Frank Reich on the carousel where is he going to land he’s going to land with the Chargers dude stop go find something fun I’m so sick of the same people getting from here to here to here to here you’re

Like oh God here we go but if you’re the Char if you’re the Chargers and you just tried that with Brandon sty right and you were like I’m gonna go get someone you kind of want to go back to stability and go back to The Well of like I mean

Isn’t Jim harbu a GU I’m not saying it’s going to be a 10e stop he’s a guaranteed 10- win season time out did you just say that Brandon Staley coming from John Carroll was like the same old Carousel because I think Tom Tesco really [ __ ]

That up like and so did the Spanos no I’m saying that he went and tried to fire like someone new like you said he went outside the bag of coaches right he’d never been a head coach before yeah right he was a new he was going to be

The new head coach right he was going to be the new hot thing and so if I’m the Chargers I don’t know if I’m the Spanos family if I’m sitting there going that was uh a flaming bag of dog [ __ ] let’s try something that’s going to work right

Let’s go to someone stable right and to them I know we know Harbaugh’s not stable but like to them like maybe they think to be organizationally stable human being it’s not that he’s not even really that though he’s just guaranteed like 11 wins and then he’ll light

Everything on fire in those four years I I don’t think you can send a defensive head coach to the Chargers I think when you pay your quarterback that kind of money like they did with Herbert you need a head coach that’s an offensive-minded guy

Like I think that that has to be one of the qualifications for going to to the Chargers in my opinion no Alex any thoughts I think that’s they used to think that and now I think that’s just silly I think as long as you find somebody that understands the offense and

Understands what Justin Herbert’s able to do and maybe went out and got him an offensive line so that he wasn’t getting racked every other play like sometimes their offensive concepts best example Austin Eckler is considered more of a receiver than a running back they don’t even have a run game that’s pathetic you

Are pathetic you have one of the top talented quarterbacks in the league and throw it 65 times a game what the [ __ ] do you think is going to happen when you throw it four weeks in a row 65 times and you have a shitty o line bad things

It’s not hard to sit back and go hey we’re going to protect this guy and somebody find me a [ __ ] running back somewhere huh AR we paying for one got all these receivers over here cool he’s now our new slot I need a real running back it’s not hard Brandon Staley’s over

Here coming from John [ __ ] Carroll which is right off the street from my hometown I know exactly who’s at John Carroll that’s why I’m saying that was stupid and I can’t believe that these owners would go out and go this guy coach is John Carol for 3 years sign him

Up must have something nobody knows about I’m saying there are OC’s in this league that are doing phenomenal things I’ve turned on the film all the time and I see people going every which direction and I’m like man even I’m blown away but instead they’re like let’s go to college

Let’s get a guy from college D2 college D2 college we’ll go down there we’ll go all the way down there where nobody sees anything I’m saying go to some coordin in this league that you see are doing awesome awesome things and go hey you want to be the head coach over here we

Need a lot of [ __ ] discipline though we need someone to come in Kell Mo you think Kell Moore should be a head coach no no well wait a minute but Kell Moore did some great great things in Dallas great things in Dallas a coordinator Che

That’s why I wanted to ask you that cuz he just checked every box that you just said that needed to have he’s play in the league didn’t he call a draw in the last play of the game wow still not over that I’m still not I’m sorry I’m a real

[ __ ] player I play real games Jay you know exactly what I mean if somebody would have done that and be like you want me to be your OC would I’ve said yes be honest I was harsh to them then I’m still harsh to them this is the job

This is what it takes if you want to go look at somebody go find the Houston OC hey you found a rookie and somehow made him [ __ ] amazing come here you come here sit down tell us what you tell us what you did please but but here’s the

Other thing with so you you bring up like Staley sort of his roots but the other thing that I think teams are guilty of and and the Chargers did this with Staley it’s hiring by association with success or hiring based on proxim remember when like Adam gase was Payton Manning’s offensive coordinator in

Denver and they’re like that offense is great let’s hire the offensive coordinator Oh you mean you want pton Manning to be your head coach yeah so Brandon Staley and I get that the Rams had the number one defense a couple years ago sha McVey head coach okay wow

That’s the number one defense who’s the coordinator for that defense okay well Aaron Donald is one of the greatest players of all time Jaylen Ramsey is probably a Hall of Famer like they had didn’t Von Miller also play for that team for they had John Johns be careful

With that they had a bunch of dudes in the back end that were destroying and then Aaron Donald was getting sack after sack after sack that’s why I said go to somebody that you can actually look at and go this isn’t a gold J jacket wearing quarterback okay don’t go to the

Uh Chiefs don’t go to the Chiefs go anywhere but the Chiefs and go what are they doing with this offense what are they doing with this Personnel what have they done with this quarterback have they kept him safe have they protected him all these things pay attention to it

And then go out and say grab me these top three guys that’s what you do and then you bring them in and go listen you guys have had young quarterbacks You’ still had success that is the true measure in my opinion of success when you can have a rookie quarterback come

In and win games cuz you know what that says that says we’ve teached them what the coverages look like we showed them what the kills look like there there are guys that can come around him and at the same time you have to protect him so you

Have to start investing in the o line but to me this has been going bad for a long time the minute people jokingly were like well they don’t even have a run game it was like you don’t really have a team I don’t know what to tell you and your defensive coordinator who’s

Your head coach is letting up like 80 [ __ ] points a game what is going on remember last year when they had like one of the worst run defenses but yet you turn on the film and the guys were huge like lynval was the nose guard I

Was like wait a minute I played with lynval he’s really really really [ __ ] good how do they have the worst running defense like you just can’t have these metrics when you’re the head coach and then when everyone asks you do you deserve to be the head coach you go well

I don’t know that that that spawns a lot of [ __ ] confidence in my online room I can’t wait for the rookies to come in and go did you see that and me go shoot just just shoot he just knocks his mic off oh my God all right hey Boon

Who’s your mic who’s your mic I just told you the revolving Carousel [ __ ] coaches that can’t do it that works okay let’s get to the picks five am Club assemble here I love it so by the way uh I’ve got my oine committee swag on here sh

Like worth more points so you guys can maybe fall further behind me back okay so uh here’s the four games we’re picking straight up because as Jeremiah says spreads are for losers mhm and there are some fun games on the schedule here this week let’s start with Cowboys

At Dolphins don’t and I I’ll go first on a couple of these you guys can pick what the [ __ ] happened to the Cowboys that’s my other mic literally everybody’s over here like oh they’re back this is it and they go out and they get the [ __ ] kicked

Out of them by the bills and the bills Run game just comes out of [ __ ] nowhere like 3 250 yards and I was I dude I was watching the game and I was like where has this been where has this been dude threw the ball 15 times we

Haven’t seen Josh Allen throwing the ball 15 times ever that’s dude for like that’s a great dude we’ve been saying this and if he needs to unleash a little more he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league it’s at times James Cook looked like his brother I’m not even kidding

You like he was [ __ ] steamrolling people and I was like dude please tell me you pulled that you put that clip in of Dion Dawkins right when he [ __ ] took old boy over the pile and then just got up like what did I do something fun

20 yards down the field is that the one at the goal line where he shoved him to the go oh yeah that’s the first play that’s the first play we’re going to look at skull [ __ ] him on the first yard line he was in he literally got up

Like did I do that did you just do that it was [ __ ] hilarious I mean we last week we were sitting there going man Cowboys are making a they’re making claim for maybe number two number three best team in the league like and everyone was like they got the signature

Win but now it’s like well maybe Philadelphia sucks like maybe they’re terrible and maybe the Cowboys are equally terrible and now the bills I’ll say this if I’m in the AFC I swear I do not want to see buffalo in January no I don’t right some team’s going to win

Their division and they’re going to show up and they’re going to be super happy and like woo we get to host a playoff game and here come the bills right here come the bills in a town arguably number one caliber seed potential like Talent level walking into your house that is

Not the team you want to see in January if they keep playing like they did on on uh Sunday so with that with that said it’s the Cowboys Miami versus Miami at Miami by the way at Miami and the bill to you’re point about the bills the bills even after the impressive

Performances lately are still like they’re like two or three slots out of the wild card I know they might have to win out they got to win out they got to win out and if they do look out look out dude dude if they win out and go on a hot streak get

Into the playoffs look out that being said Cowboys Miami I I’ll make it easier because I’ll pick first if you want to pick yeah okay I’m taking the Dolphins right here baby the Cowboys are a different neck tattoo bet yep the Cowboys are a different team on the road

Dak Prescott different quarterback on the road and the now the the only thing I hesitate with here is the the the Dolphins have struggled against the best teams in the NFL so this is an interesting test both ways can the Dolphins beat what has been perceived as

One of the top four teams in the league and put themselves up there and can the Cowboys go on the road and beat one of the top five or six teams so something’s got to give here and I uh Mike McDaniel is so he’s so chill I saw the miked up

Segment with him the other from from this last week and he was like going around they had something dialed up for the first play out of a break and he’s like I think it’s a oneplay drive guys I think it’s a oneplay drive if they if

They if they give us this coverage I think jaylen’s got it oneplay drive here we go here we go let’s see boom like 80 yard don’t you get so excited with I us we used to love that we’d be in the Huddle coming out of a commercial break

Like hey the one play What’s the one play One play touchdown we going all the way no it it is uh double right 36 Zone you be you’re right it’s not that’s not a [ __ ] scoring play it’s it’s a tush push it’s a it’s a tush push no I’m I’m

You know me dude I’m going with the neck tat I got to go Miami me give me the fins just because number one Dallas on the road this year has not been good but two you’re talking about two back-to-back tough playoff game or two backto back tough road games dude I’ve

Done that it’s you got your ass kicked in Buffalo and it was [ __ ] cold and all of a sudden you’re like hey now we’re going to Miami and we’re going to play another top team and if we let them take the top off our defense it’s going

To be a 70o game so I’m going with Miami I I want to try and pick to get back in this thing but the biggest fear for me is I feel like Dallas’s Defense matches up against Miami’s offense better than they did against Buffalo right because Miami’s they have a explosive Run game

And someone brought this up in the comments ear like well Miami’s runs top and like they’re explosive they’re not a like grinded out type of Run game right they’re they’re all about hitting explosives but the way that they want to throw the ball I feel like plays a

Little bit into Micah Parsons and Lawrence’s hands of getting after the quarterback all that said Tyreek Hill is going to be back Wild’s going be back I can’t bet against those guys at home when they’re trying to go win the division so I got to go Miami as well

Okay sometimes chasing your losses and picking against that that can bury you even further it can bury me I got to just survive a little bit I got to I mean it’s not it’s not desperation mode just yet no just yet go with your gut

Yeah it’s got me this far okay let’s go uh Browns at Texans a couple of surprise teams that the Browns are the Browns with Joe Flack flacko threw three picks but still guns Bears just murdered me on my pcks last week I was watching that

Game I was like yes yes come on Bears you got this and they just let fighting Joe flacko find a way to just throw it to Amari Cooper at the end of the game I was so pissed I was watching like you freaking [ __ ] like I’m just trying

To get back in this a little bit dude give me the uh this is a tough one is Stroud gonna play Stroud’s got to be back let me just Google it real Qui CJ St and see this a big like he’s like likely out right now he’s likely out and

By the way so they they started case big game they wanted the big game experience guy and he throws a pick six like in the first 10 minutes of that game hey but they come let him back let him back man Case Keenum has added another three years to his career pal

Nicely done nicely done I’ve seen enough and and you guys uh as former Vikings have seen Case Keenum too but I don’t know about Case Keenum even at home against that Browns defense so I’m going to I’m going to go with the Browns to stay hot with Joe the defense I think

They’ve got the better defense and I think they’ve got the better quarterback in this game so I’ll take the Browns I’m going if if Stroud’s out it’s got to be Browns I think if strad is in there if strad is back I think it’s a very good

Game I think it’s back and forth but also I think the loss of tank Dell for them and Collins being out that’s I mean th those were his dudes like those were his guys and to have lose both those guys they’ve been struggling ever since and yeah Case Keenum against the Browns defense

Yikes love you case you’re my guy you’re my boy we almost went to the promised land together but yeah miles Garrett’s hunting season I was goingon to say dude miles Garrett is too much to take off right now I’m going Browns all the way okay Homer what a homer does he get

Defensive player of the year the way by the way I think so I think he’s making a strong case for it right now I mean dude I feel like they’re not going to be able to give it away from that bland guy from from Dallas with all the pick sixes but

Like if you look at the most dominant defensive player it’s not even close it’s I think he wins it to on basis he’s not sexy it’s not sexy like six pick sixes but it is that’s the problem is like every time they talk about him or you see his highlights somebody’s

[ __ ] holding him like somebody’s holding like two guys are holding him every play and he’s still breaking through there 95% chance he wins defensive player of the year he’s there’s too much to talk about he should trust me I I’m with I think he should I

Just don’t know if he does so right now just in terms of Edge rusher dominance this season I’m going to bring up the the PF statistics here for you guys pull them up buddy sta6 for us so uh Micah Parsons leads the NFL in pressures with

89 so far uh Nick Nick Bosa is having a fantastic season with 85 pressures 14 sacks Aiden Hutchinson 81 pressures and then miles Garrett’s also like he’s like seventh in pressures but also like miles Garrett has so many different sort of blow up the play F tackles for losses blocked field goals

That’s what I’m saying like you can’t look at all that all the time sometimes you just got to go watch the games like this dude is when they have two tight ends following you around the field at all times you deserve it dude give it to

Them I will say if the I think if the Raiders were in a different spot and like cuz I think you do have to be you got to get to the playoffs right Max Crosby if the Raiders were a playoff team Max Crosby would wi this conversation especially with the double

X I love how he was like my mom put another x on it cuz I was so big I would have loved that dude we definitely would party did you guys see him do the ghost inhale of a cigar after the game yeah I was like excuse you he

Just was like oh my gosh like dude that’s and he set it down like no big deal that later wrong one hey we’ve all done that we’ve all done oh my gosh is it what you said it was Ravens at 49 Monday Night Football Christmas edition we go that’s the greatest Christmas gift

The NFL could have given us man just the two best teams in the league on a Monday night give me give me I’ll I’ll pick first year Give me the ners give me give me the ners I think I think Niners on the road until they until they show me

That they’re not the best team in football I can’t pick against them right and granted the Ravens are playing out of their minds right now I think losing Mitchell though like that injury is disgusting by the way hu losing him in a room that doesn’t have the guy like they

Were very much a running back by committee they had everyone kind of had their flavor of the day type of thing you take Mitchell out of that and I know he’s only an undrafted free agent rookie but he played a huge role in their success as of late I’ll be curious how

They navigate that with Gus Edwards and Justice hill now just kind of being the guys so um I like the ners I can’t bet against them when they’re healthy I think this is a Super Bowl preview by the way I I definitely think ners like the way that they’re playing

Right now and they just think they’re too good right now and like Jay how crazy we we’re on the phone together when uh when Mitchell I was did you see that oh it just looks so bad and you feel terrible for guys like that especially cuz he like Jay said as of

Late he’s been coming on and that that offense has been scary but I think the Niners defense right now is just there’s just too much yeah this is this is going to be a fun game U I also love how the NFL came I I know you guys aren’t I’m an

NBA guy I have a an NBA podcast flagrant hows where we cover our uh longsuffering Timberwolves where the the best team in the NBA but I love how the NBA stuck a stake in the ground on Christmas like 20 years ago and so we’re going to put our

Best games our best players the NFL came in lately they’re like oh yeah that’s nice that’s great uh yeah LeBron Lakers you guys go do your thing uh we’re going to put our best games also on Christmas it’s going to be great so I think the Chiefs play on Christmas

Too so NFL coming into NBA territory and I wish I could make this fun I got the 49ers too so we’re matching on all of our picks so far I told you the 49ers a month ago are going to win the Super Bowl if they stay healthy and there’s no

Reason why they can’t win out so uh lions at Vikings Vikings need to win out to win the division they play the Lions twice in the last three weeks both teams in playoff position right now Vikings hosting on Christmas Eve my mik was almost planting a flag and saying that I

Think the Lions are Going to the NFC Championship Game coward I almost I almost did it I was Three Margaritas deep last night and thought about it but you were you were two when you texted that third one third the third one the third one cleared my mind like you know

You’re two two you’re at that level you’re like then three you’re kind of that level like are you dumb so yeah I do think the lions are very good and I do think that they end up splitting with the Vikings one and one here in the last

Few weeks I think that they end up splitting but I for just get a weird feeling that it’s going to be them losing at home I think the Lions win this week and I think the Vikings win in Detroit in a couple weeks Detroit might be that that’s that’s my logic here too

I’ve got Detroit winning this game I think they’re just better and the Vikings are going to Nick it’s funny cuz Nick Mullins was actually really good except for like four self- sabotaging plays those that interception was hilarious just like oh that one when he just like fell down and like the

Defensive lineman like sat down and caught it like that was and Nick is like my arm was moving forward like that’s why it’s an interception buddy he’s like it never touched the ground idiot never touched the ground you idiot so I I think you’re and it’s possible that the

Lions they’re probably playing for seating in two weeks but there’s also a chance at home that they’re not playing for seaing and that they they restr a bunch of starters and the Vikings are playing winning get in football so I think the Lions the Lions win the lions

Look like they’re back on track boony oh for sure did you see the game against the Broncos no matter what anybody says in Denver I’m never yeah I’m never coming around to them the Lions last week look dude let’s be honest with uh David Montgomery and Gibbs that run game

Is starting to set up everything well their o Line’s finally healthy again everyone’s back right like Jonah Jackson’s back glasgow’s back ragnow Su Decker like they’ve been kind of a rotating Haj pod of dudes in there like you had a rookie fifth rounder at one point starting they’re back healthy

Right and they’re getting healthy at the right time and jarro goof when has a clean pocket like we’ve talked about all year can drive the car really well right and you saw five touchdowns now he’s my fantasy quarterback I’m in the championship this week get it together

Golf I need one more okay I’m Pi I’m going to D I need one more big rhinos going Lions then here we go no one so we all just pick the same teams but I think we did it in a fun entertaining way so the audience should appreciate that uh

No one gives a [ __ ] about our fantasy teams but I have to tell you in in one of my leagues I had a like an emergency situation where all like every quarterback I’ve used all year is hurt so I’m on the waiver and I’m like oh my

God I’m literally like going like I got I I guess Baker Mayfield’s my guy I guess I’m I guess I’m playing Baker Mayfield in the playoffs dude throws for like 375 and four touchdowns against the backers defense turn up turn up dude dude I I’ve gone through I started my

Year with kurk cousins gone then picked up DeShaun Watson gone then picked up CJ strad gone dude I am down to Jared Goff and then I picked up Jake Browning and Jake Browning’s like no Dr yeah I’m like I’m like oh God what’s going on somehow I’m in the championship man I’ve clawed

All my way back but I am fully dependent on the lions like I have Jared Goff David Montgomery almond Ross St Brown like if the Lions do well I win if they [ __ ] the bed rip yeah okay hey let’s do 10 minutes of dumb football questions

Here to wrap this episode I’m going to give you the first dumb football question by the way uh you guys have submitted some great ones here and we thought maybe we’re going to run out of dumb football questions at some point when we launch the podcast like six

Months ago we have not we have so keep throwing him in the YouTube comment section it’s a long offseason friends it’s a long it’s a long bitter cold offseason we’ll have plenty of dumb football questions so my first dumb football question is do you I know you guys like gambling is obviously like

There’s a huge line there’s a no no but for fun do you do do you guys play you guys play Fantasy Football you clearly play Fantasy Football now as a retire player how popular is fantasy football among NFL players legally of course I think you’d be surprised this a trophy

What the what is that last year that’s bigger than a Super Bowl trophy 20 20 the 2022 League champion of the 77 Street fantasy football league just not lie it’s pretty dope it’s pretty right next to his if you’re wondering how much that means to Jay

It’s right next to all of his like team helmets that he played for 100% it’s in my trophy case it’s between Nebraska and the Chargers I earned that okay I earned that being a good game manager there I think you’d be surprised there’s a lot of guys that do uh fantasy football and

It’s funny because sometimes the guys will pick up our like your friend like dude come on joh [ __ ] catch that ball today okay need it’s so funny and then like I would be in the Huddle and guys would drop the ball [ __ ] I’m a fantasy [ __ ] dude what this got to be illegal

Somewhere I don’t [ __ ] care my favorite was I Boon you probably got this too it’s like your buddies back home they’d be like like I remember when Diggs had like an ankle and like your buddy that you haven’t talked to in like 6 months like hey man

How’s it going you’re like oh dude what’s up how’s that like hey yeah did digs practice yesterday you’re like what he’s like a dude it’s big week I just should digs should I start digs or not and like I used to just mess with them all the time

Like oh dude shit’s broke like no chance compound dude saw never going to make it like he dude he’s in a walking boot could barely move and they’d be like [ __ ] really be like yeah dude I I wouldn’t start him pick up Le yeah like

And then like he go out there go off for like four touchdowns they be like what the hell dude like don’t ever ask me for Fantasy Football advice ever again yeah I I did have people ask me by the way did you see that Dean blandino came out

Recently and said that the refs have been approached about um [ __ ] the games up really yes really somebody somebody approached the refs about it that’s what Dean you think okay here’s another dumb football question I’ll just keep asking him I guess yes I do um do you think the refs

Are worse than they were 10 15 years ago or do you think the TVs are just better and the replays are just slower the refs are worse and I’ll tell you why did you I I know we obviously watched that Dallas game you see that first hit that

Dak took when he slid it’s a flag all [ __ ] day he slid he gave up you cannot dive towards him and then the next one all of a sudden he kind of gets hit as he’s running and they throw a flag these refs don’t know what they’re doing they’re literally up and down

Every other play like they see something and they’re like ah we probably should have thrown a flag okay well next time we’re definitely going to throw the flag instead of just going Hey listen anytime he slides and you [ __ ] idiots touch him we’re going to throw a flag okay cuz

Him sliding is him saying we’re giving up but if he’s running the ball and you [ __ ] hit him we’re going to let that go cuz that’s just football but at some point somebody has to take over and Dean blandino coming out and saying that I

Don’t know if that’s good or bad I think that just puts some bad thoughts in the back of our mind to the point to where it’s like have some of the games been affected already have some of them already been tainted I want to see I

Want to see a boo referee crew right like we have enough technology and we have enough cameras now that like you can have your onfield ref crew that throws the flags they’re watching the game but you need to have a booth crew that like if you throw a pass

Interference and we get immediate feedback up in the booth crew they can rate it down and be like pick that [ __ ] up that didn’t happen right or like I would mind that like or if there’s a blatant call missed like a face mask right like a blatant face mask is missed

Like they can referee down and be like Drop That flag face mask 35 yd line like that we have the technology there’s no reason for us to sit here and be like well football’s an imperfect game and so we’re going to have the referees like like the old baseball attitude it’s like

Well the umpires like they pick don’t get me started at all we we like we literally we the same way dude we sent a Rover to Mars like 10 or 20 years ago and yet baseball’s sitting here like I don’t know if we can adjust for the

Height of a batter with the electronic strike zones like we have we have self-driving semi trucks buddy yes you can I’m sure we can get this the worst was remember when they tried to slow everything down and like all of a sudden the pass interference they then

They would show them to us and I swear to God the minute they were like we’re going to show everything I remember thinking this is bad cuz you guys don’t realize how much they hold and grab each other downfield like they’re constantly fighting so now every flag everyone’s

Back and forth like man that could that could be both sides I don’t I don’t really know what’s going on dude Amman was going in on the ref I don’t remember what game it was he’s like what are they talking about he’s like why are they gathering together this is ruining the

Game like he was just like they’re over here just talking about everything like no he agrees because we have the Technologies dude just put four guys in a booth where all they do is have like their giant like Command Center where they’re just watching everything and if

There’s a penalty review it very quickly and then decide if it’s good or bad and then let the game continue to move on here’s a general rule of thumb for All Sports because I do I do feel like listen we’re we’re all at home literally watching in like 4K definition on 70in

TVs I was just quick s side street for purple daily we’re doing for some of like the holiday episodes we’re we’re doing like look backs at some of the Vikings we’re doing pie charts of blame and pie charts of praise for like the Super Bowl losses in the 70s and stuff

So we literally watched a game from like 1970 and they’re dude they are blowing calls left and right because they you know the game is happening but you get the grainy footage on the replay you’re like I don’t know if that guy I don’t know if the clock should be stopped but

They’re just going no one car they’re just they just keep going and now it’s like we have 14 replay angles and we can see oh that guy’s elbow hit in bounds so here’s the general thumb whatever technology we have access to to watch a game on our couches give the officials

Of the sports the access like in basball dude I don’t know if you guys remember this but like 10 or 12 years ago the Detroit Tigers had a perfect game going it was like one of the the baseball’s been around for 150 years there’s only been like 20 perfect games where like

It’s 27 up 27 down and the last batter of the game hits a ground ball and and there’s a play at first base kind kind of bang bang but like you could even see with the naked eye like the dude was out at first base base and the first base

Umpire goes safe to blow the perfect game and 5 seconds later we see three different replays that show oh no he was out out but well the call has to stand because we don’t have a system in play so like wait that guy gets death threats

Now for the next year because let there should be an eye in the sky in football if we can see it at home let let somebody see it but it has to be in real time you can’t slow football down that’s not fun the minute you start slowing it down

But that’s why I think this like that’s why I think this would be faster like dude the referee like the referee they don’t run over to the booth no that’s the thing they don’t D some guys how about there’s still a guy holding the [ __ ] TV he’s like hey is this is this

Okay can you the TV is like it’s like a 13inch laptop he’s literally holding it on his chest he’s like can you see it you got it okay do I just do I stand here and he just looks around the whole time like I wonder what he’s looking at

They already have the radios in just have some dude up at the top be like hey call STS first and 10 30 yard line get the chain set yeah and just move the ball thumbs up thumbs up as you move as you look down like there’s no reason for

Them to look at Ricky like I don’t think people understand when the refs are looking at that like in the box they’re not actually making a decision they’re just looking at what everyone’s talking they’re like all right this and he’s just like okay just tell me what to do

Like they’re like all right Bud here’s what’s going to happen you’re going to set the ball here and then he’s like writing it on his little not they going to boo your ass you’re going to get booed and he’s like God damn it are you sure he wasn’t in

Like like I’m the one that’s going to wear this son about uh okay Stuart wants to know we’ve heard the saying a lot on this show that this guy this this like wide receiver can get some candy from the oine room if he has a nice block or

Whatever right so uh what candy and snacks are stocked in the offensive line meeting room what’s everyone’s favorite snacks in the offensive line so everyone has their own favorite snack right like everyone and it’s the rookie job to learn who what everyone’s favorite snack is Right sometime some guy likes Oreos

Another guy likes Skittles another guy likes Starburst our rookies in Minnesota specifically we made them we went to Home Depot and we bought one of those giant like blacken yellow tubs right like the big ones like that have the Locking mechanisms on them cuz we got to

Lock that [ __ ] or gets stolen and we told them we go fill it he’s like what do you mean I go take it to the store and fill it and so he said he went to the store and was just like shoveling the candy aisle and the cookie aisle

Just like just piles of it in and when they got there he’s like I don’t know how much this is like I had to fill this and so they were like they made him take it all out scan it one at a time like he just filled this thing full of

Candy but I mean it’s it’s everything you can imagine dude imagine being a 12-year-old and like oh everything’s great but you’re 28 and it’s even better because you have money in your pocket and so you just get to like pick whatever you want like I was always a

Starburst guy I used to sit back there and just hammer down Starburst I mean it’s great it’s it’s everything you could ever want it’s like wiie Wonka’s candy factory back there it really is it’s incredible and then the picture of iced tea on top of it didn’t beat

Anything man and then when uh when I was in Frisco I called Monster and I had him send us monsters all the time so we had a big fridge in the corner and it would be stacked with monsters all the time it was incredible dude it is fun because

You can really just do whatever you want and then remember when we used to make him go to Chick-fil-A but he was supposed to be working out and we all kind of knew but we were like ah he’s an idiot who cares yeah every Friday morning Friday morning like we said at

The beginning of the show we had to meet early of course because we’re a lineman and so the rookie always had to go get us Chick-fil-A and we all had our chickfila have breakfast or you just you used eat chicken sandwiches for breakfast and we all had our own special

Order right like problem was go Joe Burger I think Joe Burger was the one that was like I want Polynesian sauce and Polynesian sauce only so like one of the rookies brought him like a literal truckload of like Polynesian sauce like he like stacked it up in like a pyramid

In front of his desk like it was just like this 18 poian sauces cuz one year one day he forgot him we find the [ __ ] out of them just grab just just grab one of those like uh like squirt those big like giant squirt bottles of they didn’t

Have those back then dude then it was like it was like packets yeah P pet now they got those like squirt bottles those would be nice so good so keep the dumb football questions coming in the uh YouTube comment section all right we got to get to some film reviews here you

We’re going to watch the bills run the ball down the Cowboys throats on one of them so thank you guys and we appreciate you getting us to almost 15,000 Subs on YouTube this is the o line committee an offensive line lifestyle podcast
