Welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin coward podcast go on hit the Subscribe button there you go right down there if you want to be among the first to hear my weekly takes NFL college football more right There all right here we go John middleof what a circus that was for Dallas and you know John we’ve talked about this for years and years I’ve never bought into Dallas I always had this rule the pretty good rule Romo dacked they’d be pretty good and then there was about a

Five-week stretch this year that I bought into it and then they went to Miami and I’m like okay it’s the same old and then I just I sat on the air I I was reeled in I got fooled but if you look in retrospect now blown out

By the ners blown out by Buffalo pounded by Green Bay in the playoffs lost to Miami and beat Detroit on you know a really d dubious officiating moment and in that game Dak had two picks and 10 completions and so you look at it and my takeaway is this was just an average

Team right like the slightly better than average team well to me I I’m with you I bought into them their downfall now three straight years is the quarterback who makes a ton of money this year in all pro interceptions interceptions three years ago against the ners at home

Threw an awful pick and was not good in that game last year against the Niners in the playoffs two interceptions today how many could he have thrown five I mean there were some drops obviously the pick six which the guy walked into the end zone was not some freaky Play and

Then the other thing the Cowboys kind of hung their hat on was physicality being a tough defense what the hell was that so if I tell you the Cowboys defense gonna no show and Dak Prescott I don’t care what the final numbers look like the game was over in the first half when

He’s throwing the ball to the other team and getting thoroughly outplayed by a firste starter just a horrendous effort by the defense at Dak Prescott yeah I mean when you when you size up a player and Jordan love and Dak on the same field Jordan Love’s more talented he

Moves better he’s got more of a whip he made a sidearm throw late in the game Into The End Zone to Romeo dos Dak can’t do that that’s just beyond Dak that was a momes level throw a Lamar Jackson throw it reminded me of Lamar and I’m

Like oh Dak can’t do that Dak Dak doesn’t put a ton of velocity on the ball he really has to step into it he was never a natural thrower I mean I joked out of college I thought he was a better version of TBO he was he had all

The intangibles but he wasn’t a beautiful thrower and when I’ve used Kirk Cousins as a comp he’s he’s Kirk Cousins with a Jordan brand is that Kirk’s a more accurate thrower dak’s a better athlete but we always feel with Kirk he’s holding you back from a Super

Bowl but we somehow feel that Dak is carrying you to one and I watched today and I’m like oh he’s easily the second best quarterback on the field that’s not particularly close well the reason guys like pton Manning Drew Brees kurk cousins have to be so Elite with their

Footwork because they can’t afford to throw out their back foot the one reason why Aaron Rogers always pushed back on some of that like let me freelance he’d get away with it Brett far the Big Arm guys right you see it with Mahomes and Josh Allen they’re not beholden to the

Quarterback feet you know quote unquote rules that the coaches harpon because of their talent and you saw today Jordan love had countless throws off off his back foot that hit guys in stride way down the field Dak Prescott if the timing is a little off he’s way off and

Today I mean he was terrible Colin I mean he was this is three straight years of just absolute no shows in these playoff games and I know and the one playoff game he had that was good was against Tampa Bay who was clearly got awful and was you know headed home

Should not have made the playoffs last year so against the Packers whose defense has been really bad I mean the number one conversations like Matt LEF flor’s got to fire his buddy Joe Barry and then for them I know they got the touchdown late in the game but to only

Have 10 I mean they had seven how does this happen I I I don’t understand obviously Mike’s the offensive play caller there’s a combination of them both yeah no I it’s it’s one of those things where um you know and I want to talk about this because I think

McCarthy’s in real trouble I had said I defended McCarthy most of the season but I said he has to beat Green Bay if he can’t beat Green Bay it’s a different conversation well to get absolutely dominated by Green Bay Jordan love now that’s a different conversation from

Losing an overtime game on a bad officiating call now now we have a different conversation and um I think he gets replaced I I think and Dan Quinn by the way there went his job market outside of Seattle that was a dubious effort so I mean let’s just talk about it does Jerry

Have to I mean Jerry’s got to pay Dak he loves Dak he views Dak as some sort of elite quarterback and is willing to pay him so let me ask you how good of a job is it if the starting point is owner loves the quarterback thinks he should

Be paid among the top five aren’t you working uphill from that point forward I I think it’s a pretty good job because I think the guys I mean immediately obviously belich and their relationship has been you know talked about a lot I think Jim Harbaugh is going to have to

Get a call those guys have the juice and the power to say look we’re not doing this we’re not giving this guy $50 million a year you know Mike had to lie to get the job and the other thing that was on fold display today Matt laflor

Has the most important quality you can have in the NFL he has the ability to develop and make a quarterback into a star right I mean Dak was already pretty good when he got there right Dak had had success before Mike McCarthy and one thing he has done is the bed now in

Three consecutive playoff games who of them have been at home I I think it’s worse like you said last year they lose to the 49ers in a very tight game on the road you hold your head high it wasn’t a bad loss they have had two awful losses

Though in 20 21 and this one at home and and that to me is unacceptable I personally thought coming into the game Mike McCarthy to keep his job was going to have to win both home games right because if he won this game he’d have another home game you can’t be losing at

Home if you lose on the road in the NFC championship game where they hadn’t been in 25 years okay but now I think all signs point to belich and one thing’s pretty clear is belich has his offensive coordinator available we talk a lot about offensive and defensive coaches

Well the reason to me Mike Vel and Bill bich obious Bill’s resume speaks for itself but what makes him truly powerful Rabel has Arthur Smith available who he had a lot of success with bich has Josh McDaniel available who he has all the success with and they can allow those

Guys to coach the offense so I I I think to me you could argue Mike Vel if the bellich and Arthur Smith make sense as just there was a toughness lacking but I but again I say if Jerry believes Dak is it I mean I think we have to how could

He believe that now Colin after what he just how could he again I have been on this for years Dak is a good B+ quarterback Jerry views him is an a um it’s it’s it’s really interesting this this job is fascinating it’s not that Jerry runs a

Turn Style but I’d almost rather Jerry being impatient than delusional on quarterback evaluation like I’d rather a guy want me to get ratings in my job I’m fine with a little pressure what I’m not fine with is unrealistic expectations or forcing me to work with people aren’t as

Good as you think dak’s just not a top 10 level guy and Jerry thinks he’s a top seven guy I I understood some of the support before even though I I never agreed even the contract they gave him I didn’t view him as a $40 million guy

Right but after today to me if he stands on that belief he’s entered Al Davis territory yes yes to me if he’s able to Pivot which he’s proven as a successful businessman over the years and like you said they do a pretty good job on personnel there’s a weird loyalty here

To me he has to Pivot off today’s experience because he had a firsthand look Jordan love signed a two-year million contract and he looks like a a combination I I think that’s one of the greatest development jobs we’ve ever seen he looks like a Flatout Superstar

Right now he look like Brett Favre meets Aaron Rogers today like listen the internet loves I mean this is what they love they forget that new information new opinion Matt laflure was calling out Jordan love in October press conferences so was the GM the GM and the coach were disappointed

With him have you ever seen an inseason improvement for a quarterback not only is Jordan think about this he’s cheaper than Aaron roggers he’s now more athletic than Aaron roggers he throws the ball a lot like Aaron Rodgers you get no drama like Aaron roggers and generationally he is completely

Copasetic with all these receivers and wide and and tight ends I mean right now Green Bay’s young receiver tight end Talent is the Envy of virtually every team in the league like it’s hard to wrap your brain around this based on what we saw in October Jordan love is a

Significant multifaceted upgrade from Aaron roders right that that’s not debatable now well I think that you become a legend in the business of football by making moves like Ted Thompson L made right Brett farre you’re gone we’re going with Aaron bill we got to Pivot to Steve Young when you pivot

Off Aaron Rogers who had just previously won a couple MVPs the coach and the GM are behind it and then by the end of the season into the playoffs he looks like this and as a GM you have put around the youngest offense in the league and these

Guys I mean Watson didn’t even really do anything Reed up until the end of the game hadn’t done it was dobs making all the plays and he’s really good think of the talent they have we know how well they build offensive lines I think these guys have immediately entered like raw

Wolf Ted Thompson we have stars running our operation because I think it was it was okay to question it early in the season not because they made the wrong move getting rid of Aaron it’s like well it’s really hard to replace that it was Rocky and by the end of the season the

Guy’s a Flatout Superstar and so’s the unit around him so to me it’s gakin and lefor like this is why your argument on hiring offensive coaches when you get the right one KY Shanahan has owned the Cowboys the last two years in the playoffs why because he has he’s

Comfortable playing against Dan Quinn Matt lafur was also on that staff in Atlanta with Kyle who was the quarterback coach you saw today he wasn’t uncomfortable going up against that defense and that coordinator and honestly embarrassed him worse than Kyle ever did the last two years so to me the

Stink on Mike McCarthy the stink is clearly on Dan Quinn and all the positivity on the other side it’s hard if they were a stock they feel like Tesla or something five years ago I mean this is a team that you’d have to buy into because they’ve been so well-run

This was always the push back on Aaron roggers do you realize how well you have it in Green Bay how well run this op I I get there’s no owner and then you go to the Jets and this is a complete show yeah I mean I I’ve said that before

With Aaron he never had a bad offensive line in 15 years in Green Bay Favre didn’t have many the one thing New England under Dante scaria and Green Bay for 15 years do a great job of drafting third fourth fifth sixth round offensive linemen and developing them slowly into

Really good players so I mean Green Bay is just it it and I think it’s something we’ve hit on 11 of the 14 coaches in the playoffs are offensive coaches now you can as a defensive coach work if you have a Star Quarterback Sean McDermot uh

Demo Ryan you know it can work that way yeah but there is no question when to develop a Young quarterback Edge offensive coach and if you have a disruption at quarterback you’re on a third or a fourth stansky major advantage offensive coach so you know Mike Tomlin got into the playoffs most

Mostly because Joe burrow got hurt and Cleveland lost three quarterbacks I think they’ll be extinguished very quickly but I don’t think I don’t think any re I mean I talked to I texted two GMS today I’m on the phone with during the game texting and they’re saying the

Same thing is Jordan love Matt leflour deserves a lot of credit for Jordan love and you know the other thing today that you noticed on that first drive when Aaron Jones is running like that downhill and that’s you know Matt lefl when he when he came to Green Bay it was

I want to develop a run game that McCarthy had not developed a run game I I watch this Green Bay team I’m not saying they’re going to beat a San Francisco or a Rams they’re a lot to defend because Matt can run it Jordan can go off script nobody’s got two to

Three good Corners they this Green Bay offense John creates a lot of matchup issues well one thing I wrote down immediately is the advantage at the running back position in this game was evident early yeah you know I mean the gap between Aaron Jones and all the

Other guys they’re running out I mean Pard is a a gadget player there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you have a young zekel Elliott in his prime right and to me when you have the running game like that and then all the explosive weapons that’s why guys were

Wide open all day long the Dallas Cowboys had no clue what to do but don’t you think you know you talk a lot about and everyone does about bich being a historian can you imagine breaking the record as the Cowboys coach I know the Eastern Seaboard he’s comfortable

Atlanta’s close to his new house in Jupiter but Jerry can offer a lot of money obviously Arthur Blank can too but there’s the cowboy coach bellich little Revenge after just getting forced out by Robert which he was clearly fired right I I think all signs are going to point

To bill because you’re the you’re the coach newsbreaker now a lot of people I know expect Harbaugh to be with the Chargers that’s where a lot of people in the league think he’s going to go so bellich people have already been you know they said that before the game

Philly too but now the Cowboys have a chance to have a head start because they could fire McCarthy first thing Monday morning have bich on the horn and get the ball rolling here there is um certain things create Clarity in life getting your ass kicked like that at

Home sure it allows Jerry to go wow I can clean house and it really does it also Jerry has to look himself in the mirror and sit down with Stephen tonight at the house at the ranch yeah and uh and have to sit down and go we we got to

Do a clean break here of everybody dan Mike I don’t know what they’ll do with Dak he may defend Dak but I can see this being actually beneficial to Dallas that Jerry Jones has to sit down his Scouts have to come to and say Jerry we can

Have Dak you can’t pay him 4550 million he’s already made 20 million a year in endorsements being the Cowboy quarterback we got to start drafting quarterbacks here um and it also would it make Jerry I mean again when you’re a billionaire can’t relate obviously would Jerry acknowledge our ways not working

Like my way is not working and give up some control I think it’s easier after today like you said I I I maybe they lose in overtime maybe you can justify in your head run it back give them one more shot but get embarrassed like that

Have a game be over at halftime you know this was obviously the number one pick in the in the Wild Card round right in terms of Brands and television network uh I I don’t see how he surv I don’t see how he’s not out by the morning I to me

It’s clearly over and you have the opportunity right sometimes like getting the number one draft pick isn’t ideal because there’s not if you need a quarterback if it’s not a great quarterback draft this is an incredible head coaching opportunity with all these guys that have proven to be winners and

I do think the bich thing a little bit like you know almost a couple decades now with Bill Parcels would just reinvigorate the fan base because they’re going to be down and there’s going to be a lot of negativity and it’s rightly deserved because the last three

Years they’ve been knocked out by Kyle twice and now La Flor so how are you beating those guys we know your guys’s not as good as Shawn McVey either so it’s like you you got to deal with those in the AFC you got to deal with the

Quarterbacks in the NFC you got to deal with the star offensive coaches all that came from Washington in 2012 listen to this John coaches that had to move off talented quarterbacks John Harbaugh flacko he moved off him for Lamar been pretty beneficial Andy Reid Alex Smith was a pro bowler McVey go

Shanahan Garoppolo we’ve watched multiple coaches and these these guys were getting to Super Bowls I mean yeah flacko six years removed from that can still sling it and those coaches took big swings they moved off popular playoff winning or Super Bowl appearing quarterbacks for a Lamar for a momes for

A Stafford for a brock py whoever it is there is a recent history history go back to Lamar is when you take that big swing and go listen we’re just kind of stuck I may have a slightly deteriorating product or a product with a ceiling the teams that go for it I

Mean hey Philadelphia Carson Wentz they moved off him Jaylen Herz I mean went that year he got hurt he was leading in the MVP voting many so I mean there’s and I think by the way Miami is going to have this discussion yeah you I think

Miami and Dallas have to go you got to get over Pro bowls really quickly those are awards that nobody buys into I I think a big thing too for Jerry is and this happened to Pete Carroll Pete Carroll got fired in my opinion because they started looking around and

Going he has no chance to beat McVey and Kyle Shanahan KY beat him five straight times McVey swept him this year it wasn’t even the macro to me it was the micro we’re getting lapped in our own division so to me if you’re Jerry you go

Well I’ve known Adam Peters for 15 years I mean look at his resume for a non GM it’s pretty incredible won Super Bowls multiple places now helped John Lynch and K Anan build that thing I think Washington’s going to be well-run even the owner has proven to be a good NBA

Owner yeah obviously the Philadelphia Eagles will not hesitate to pull the trigger if they have to Pivot right so you have an owner that you know has doesn’t I don’t exactly know the wealth between lurry and but he has enough money to do whatever he wants as well

And he will be aggressive so to me that has to inspire Jerry knowing they play tomorrow night even if they win and then get knocked out next week like the Eagles have no problem pivoting so I I think when you just look at the short-term View of your division you go

We got to figure this out and you also know that Arthur Blank and some of these other big money guys are sniffing around the top coaches why not rip the Band-Aid off we we already had a lot of question marks with McCarthy sometimes throughout the year this is an all-tim you just

Don’t survive they were a seven and a half Point favorite and it was truly it was the right move I mean they should have been a heavy favor coming into this game and to get beaten down like I I’m not trying to be hyperbolic but that

Feels like one of the more glaring games I remember watching in a long time in the playoffs Hey listen I wrote it down opening drive run pass effectively look too easy couple dumb Dallas penalties then pick Jer Alexander uhoh Dallas in trouble that’s first quarter second quarter stuff like that’s it it

Felt like oh we got we got big Bri and Dallas had two or three silly penalties early you’re like one a has always been a problem for them yeah it’s uh you know it’s it’s everything changes um you know it’s just one of those things I thought McCarthy was in the

Clear if he beat Green Bay even if he lost 28-27 on bad officiating it was a Detroit Dallas ending Fiasco when you’re not prepared to play on either side I mean it’s I’m trying to think of a of a but you know what it had Brandon sty Vibes today I mean their

Defense no clue what was going on they were talking to cidi lamb early in in the game like what what’s going on there it was red flags everywhere okay that’s a great point I wrote that down in my notes too Dak CD off uh uh Kevin Burkhart mentioned that Greg olssen

Mentioned that so there was something really weird about that and my takeaway was it was CD was frustrated appropriately with dax’s ball placement which by the way was terrible early in this game through behind him on a corner route so I think it was CD had was frustrated with just

Basically dax’s ball placement well that’s another thing with Dak Prescott when you look at the two quarterbacks right there Jordan love who actually has been really accurate lately can’t afford to be a little inaccurate because he has such an explosive arm and now with their wide receivers can make big plays when

You’re Dak Prescott in that group of you know I I would say cousins has been there for a long time Drew Brees Philip Rivers Manning and you don’t have a huge arm accuracy is what you have to hang your hat on you have to be the most

Accurate guy on the field so when you become like how did Alex Smith resurrect his career it wasn’t throwing bombs it was having 70% completion percentage well DX slinging around like he’s jamus Winston balls flying all over the place you’re like you can’t function even if their defense had played well today they

Would have lost with that type performance out of the quarterback and the other thing is you cannot turn the ball over in the biggest games right you cannot pick sixes kill you and Dak just now remember last year at the end of the season we’re going to spend some time in

March and May and April and go over all the picks and what ended up being some of the his downfall again throwing the ball to the other team it happened early in the season in the in the big hyped up game against the 49ers turnovers and it was ultimately their undoing again in

This game and I I just I can’t get over laflor gakin the Packers what a muscle Flex as an organization they feel like the Miami Heat or something right now they just it’s it’s incredible how they pivoted all right I want to talk 10 minutes I want to give Miami Kansas City

Some discussion on this um hold on yeah I want to give this some discussion because Tua has proven in warm weather with time to throw he’s a highly accurate thrower but he has also proven that he’s not very athletic he’s smaller than you’d like he has an injury history

And unless the weather conditions are fairly ideal he’s limited so unlike Dak he is accurate his ball placement is excellent that’s not the case with Dak he is a pretty thrower he’s a little bit of Drew Brees so I don’t think you move off him now but I think it does limit

Your extension ideas so um we know Kansas City’s better most of us thought they’d win I thought I thought it was a shockingly bad effort by Miami in the second half obviously the Cowboy loss was surprising but Miami’s offensive effort in the second half was really dubious I mean they were doing bubble

Screens late they didn’t want two at a throw so that tells you the staff is worried about protecting him the staff is worried about his physical viability in games like that what do you do with Tua you’re a former NFL scout you have sources throughout the League what do

You do with them going forward I think they’re in the worst spot you can be in football because they’re almost stuck but I almost think you have to pivot because this was his fourth year so all the guys in his draft class Herbert burrow were paid after their third year

Right because after your fourth year you get the fifth year option which for quarterbacks is essentially a franchise tag 1.0 and then the real one comes it’s all guaranteed on the cap so you ideally you want to extend a guy but there aren’t you know this isn’t the NBA you

Don’t give out a mid-level exception to a quarterback right you either pay him the premium which is well over $40 million a year and hundreds of millions of dollarss which on in what world in the AFC could you pay Tu a let’s even just say $150 million guaranteed when the only way to

Compete in the playoffs is go on the road against Mahomes who clearly was in a different Universe Lamar Jackson who plays in frig conditions Joe burrow who while he doesn’t have the big arm has proven he excels in the cold Ohio kid and Josh Allen who’s been kicking your

Ass thrives in the cold like that’s who you have to go through in that conference in cold conditions and if ever figures out also a cold place so unless you’re the number one seed which they’re not even remotely close to be like to me 16 to7 at halftime that was

Not a normal 16 to7 like in a dome because it was so cold it was going to be hard to score that score might as well have been 28 to three to me the game was over at halftime they threw one lollipop touchdown that Tyreek Hill had

To come back toward and then ran around three guys they didn’t do anything else so like listen he’s a solid player and if he plays in a dome or in Miami but that’s not the AFC because the AFC playoffs is at Buffalo is at Kansas City

I mean this is Buffalo is like an avalanche right now Kansas City it was the coldest game one of them in NFL history and Patrick Mahomes do you know what made him so remarkable I I don’t even know what his box score was he just played completely normal like they were

Throwing the ball down he just he just like played a normal Patrick Mahomes game with Tua he can’t even function in that which I understand you’ve lived in the Northeast I’ve lived in the Northeast it’s really cold and when you’re not used to it it really throws

You off and they say it takes like three months to get acclimated there’s no way you get acclimated in 24 hours and he physically when you have a weak arm like from a scouting perspective it it’s very hard to pierce through the wind and the cold slows down the ball so momes and

Allen the reason these guys can Thrive look at pton Manning back in his Heyday he struggled on the road in cold weather conditions and he’s remarkably better couple years into his career than Tua so I I I could couldn’t pay him I I I

Couldn’t do it but I I think we know how this though this played on the fifth year option if you extend them you’re basically just acknowledging we’ll try to compete to win 10 plus games and then lose in the playoffs because you’re not gonna win in the playoffs yeah Ethan

Strauss was talking about this on a podcast where he said if if you’re somebody that struggles in cold weather you want to be in the NFC but in the AFC it’s I mean even in your own division just think about December January games Buffalo New England New York Baltimore

Cincinnati Pittsburgh Cleveland I mean it’s like and you know and then again Denver and Kansas City so it’s just one of those things where again if you played in the SEC you’re hidden for or the Pack 12 you’re you know he did and he thrived you know he’s he’s from

Hawaii went to Alabama and he’s now in Miami I mean it’s he’s lived an incredible warm climate life and Ethan was right San Francisco number one seed what’s the game going to be there next year next week 62 degrees Dallas number two seed Dome Detroit Dome Pampa warm

Weather Place Philly is one place where it can get kind of cold but it’s not that cold I mean Kansas City that that’s stretch in the midwest to me Kansas City Chicago it’s Green Bay is as cold as it gets and that’s that’s why I’d feel

Pretty good if I was Green Bay I got another strong armed quarterback who’s going to be able to play in that frigid condition if we ever get home games moving forward by the way let’s touch on Kansas City so um Brett V is one of the

Sharper GMS in the league Andy Reid I think there’s a functionality and an intelligence from the hunt family V Andy momes um they have a really good scouting Department obviously you can see with their late round picks is I think they’re a great example like Green

Bay hey we got a flaw we’re not good at receiver let’s just develop it so Rashid rice feels like to me now he’s not a top five one but he’s a number one receiver thick good after the cat not a high-end one not not even a CD lamb yet but he’s

A low-end one Travis Kelce and then they have a bunch of Threes they don’t really have a two uh it’s it’s Watson it’s it’s you know it’s guys uh that you wouldn’t trust as a two but they’re threes so they have a hole they’re just not great

At wide receiver but as I watched them yesterday in their run game as they pivot to the second stage of their Dynasty they’re going to be more run Centric and they’re going to be more defensive Centric at least for another draft I think there’s three teams right

Now in the AFC Buffalo Baltimore and Kansas City they feel like they’re they’re a bit above the FR and and my takeaway is I think Buffalo right now and Baltimore are better but boy there is something to be said about have the bag have the ring do you give Kansas City an outside

Shot to win the AFC or do you feel like it’s just that receiving weakness they can’t play quite from behind I don’t give him an outside shot I give him a real shot because the playoffs is not it doesn’t usually look like Green Bay and Dallas right it’s usually a pretty ugly

Game especially in that conference like we talked about because the weather is such a factor it’s like a different sport that game in Kansas city has nothing in common in what we just witnessed in a controlled environment in Dallas nothing I mean it’s Nega five

Degrees they know how to win I mean they have you know comp uh Championship medal Championship culture obviously they have Championship quarterback and Coach the two most important guys in the building all their defensive guys the young ones were part of the team last year offensively p Kelsey are played huge

Roles last year so now you just got to integrate the young player who shined last night and they’re used to playing in the weather so next week in Buffalo assuming Buffalo wins which I think we all do probably be freezing cold well who’s not going to be phased by that you

Saw Tua walking into the game last night it looked like he was going on an aspen vacation momes showed up in a windbreaker right I mean they’re just Mahomes wasn’t wearing sleeves I know he he he’s lived there for how long now six plus years he’s used to it Andy’s you

Know uh mustache is frozen he Andy’s been coaching in these games for 25 years and before that he was in Green Bay with farv and hren they’re comfortable in that environment it all gets back to their competitive culture starting in training camp they’re still one of the last teams that practices

Hard and that’s where it shows and listen we can nitpick and I know a lot of people do with sha McDermot but he’s a defensive tough guy John Harbaugh defensive Tough Guy the one problem for Miami is their head coach is an offensive guy now they added Vic fangio

To me it was a they had a lot of injuries but like last night to me was a toughness Clinic because everyone in the NFL is tough right just like any Marine going to the Navy Seals is going to be a tough guy but there’s a reason most guys

Don’t make it and there’s a big difference between the toughest teams and that next tier and you saw it last night it wasn’t I didn’t even think the game was close even 16 to7 like Miami has no shot to win this game yeah Miami’s tackling was really poor they

Look cold and they they look cold and I I never forget when I got hired in Philly and it got to like November and December on the sideline pregame you have so much respect for playing in these games and that’s I’m talking like 20 degrees where you can’t feel your

Hands it’s really cold once you get to those level temperatures remember the Seattle Minnesota game years years ago outside when cam Chancellor claimed he had frostbite it on his foot like two weeks later the the level of mental toughness and focus on top of the talent

Uh it’s really hard to focus and to me you just saw the Kansas City like they dropped a couple big plays cuz they’re wide receivers maybe the wind threw them off they they were open you know and Mahomes the ball wasn’t even that far off that game could have been honestly

Like 40 to7 couldn’t it have been yeah yeah I thought I mean I really was um I felt like Dallas has lost today A lot of it was Jordan love and they’re just IID said it on Friday I thought um I took Green Bay to cover I said listen Dallas

Nobody has three good Corners in the NFL I just think Green Bay has too many good people and so some of that loss was Jordan love looked like Darren Rogers not that Miami quit but I thought it was one of the more discouraging efforts like the team was literally protecting

Tua I mean Mike McCarthy wasn’t protecting Dak today Dak is limited but I I thought that was one of those where you fly back I’m the owner and I’m like what what do I have here do you agree under no circumstances you can give him that $220 million contract yeah I’ve

Always been I I’m just listen I have a a theory you know it doesn’t matter what business it is um you can pay big money but you have to do it infrequently and you really have to be sure it’s right it’s got to be really glue people or

Stars um and I think I don’t blame the defensive effort because they were missing six starters but that offensive effort in the second half if I’m an owner I’m like Oh my coach doesn’t trust my quarterback the hell I ain’t G to pay him I’m writing the checks there’s no

Way I’m paying him so I think what you do if you’re Miami you don’t cut to what you do is you let him play out next year and you just you draft another quarterback maybe first second third I think they have a lot of pieces I really

Do I I think they can score a lot of points I don’t think they’re a Super Bowl team but I don’t think there’s a lot of needs the offensive line needs some attention they’ve got receivers Corners they have Edge rushers they just all got hurt so I don’t feel

Like you know I kind of feel like it’s Denver if they could get the quarterback right Miami gets a star qub back you WI a lot of games with those two offensive coaches yeah they have definitely have the infrastructure with the coaches too because defensively they’re def with Vic

Fano it’s going to get better as they get better players it was on full display these first three games right CJ Stroud was in a different world than Joe flacko whose Disney movie came to a crashing Halt and then and obviously Mahomes vers Tua and then today love

Vers Dak it really really matters you know it’s why the 49ers can manipulate it a little bit because their roster is so good right it would have been been hard for Brock pie in that situation on on the road in Kansas City right when you don’t have a great arm but what

Their team is so good so when your team’s a little flawed and your quarterback is not Elite you can get exposed really quick if your team’s a little off and cowboys the the Browns I mean the Browns have had an incredible season but that was the Joe flacko that

We have seen the last five or six years and the moment you get that type effort you go home all right well you could join me later for the Lions Detroit but I don’t want to get in the way of your Tito night I’m gonna pour one right now and

Watch the Lions Rams I can’t how about how about your guy Jed fish taking the Washington job well you nailed the dbor story we got we got Adam shefer here well yeah that one I was told Wednesday that he would people think he was the second third or fourth choice he wasn’t

Because Sabin almost hired the OC from Washington the previous year so Sabin had his eye and Greg burn had their eye on Kalin Dort he was they called sarc on that you know it was out of respect for shark but they knew Sark wasn’t coming Sark Sark loves Texas Austin’s a better

Place to live than Tuscaloosa sark’s got it rolling the boosters love him so perfunctory call but they kayin dbor was like their first legitimate guy so this idea he was second I was told Wednesday like they’re going after kayin debor Jed fish was interesting Lance Leopold at Kansas was they were really interested

Apparently had I think a phoner or a zoom and and blew everybody’s socks off but um jedf fish and Lance Leupold and then it came down to Jed Jed now Jed will be able to assemble um an offensive unit very quickly and that’s a big part

Of it Washington has lost most of their offense transfer portal uh they only you know they’ve got a decent nil Collective but not huge so Jed fish can keep them afloat very quickly I mean I I would say the offense for Arizona is better today than Washington so he’s going to have to

Rebuild it but Washington I think we both agree is a better job there’s more in the athletic department yeah you go into the Big 10 I mean there’s going to get three or four teams every year in the 12 team playoff the Big 12 is going

To get one yes they’re going to be a one bidly the other thing is Jed the guys he has you know he was going to have a top 15 team coming back those guys can transfer if they want to go join him so some of his talent can follow in there

To me how about Alabama they tried to get Ryan grub last year to be Sabin OC now they get Ryan grub and dubor with sa and retiring so what a what a coup for Alabama now the cultural fit my theory has often been where you’re from really

Matters yeah Kirby Jimbo Dabo think the guys that you know Nicks from West Virginia the Northeast guys obviously the West Coast guys but there are outliers as someone in the league told me winners win and urban was a good example he’ll win no matter what and

Dubor might be that and his resume would say he’s gonna win no matter where he’s coaching yeah I don’t think I think he’ll win um and he’s not a great recruiter and so I think he feels like the South and the brand Washington’s hard to recruit to there’s not a lot of

Players Oregon idah Washington Montana Alaska there’s not there’s maybe eight high-end division one players in all those States combined so I think the feeling is dbor is like this brand sells the state’s got 30 division one players the region has 200 and so and roster is

Loaded loaded so I I think the board looks at this and thinks it’s just an easier place to recruit and by the way with the nil transfer portal recruiting is now a pain in the butt it’s more difficult than ever so Alabama is one of

Those four or five jobs even bad USC and Texas team usually have players Oklahoma always has Ohio State always has players all right good stuff uh John as always money uh stay near your phone we’ll see what happens in the Rams and lions buddy okay see You
