[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, that's where they value a guy that's been in those type of offense, does all the things skill set wise that dad talked about, accuracy, anticipation, it's all the processing of the information. The first thing I think that jumped out to dad and I when we evaluated Mac Jones, I could still, dad was over my house for dinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just went, we kind of were talking and I went, it's, I've never seen anybody read and react and diagnose defenses other than Joe Burrow as quick as Mac Jones. And those are just all things that, of course, the Patriots value at a very high level. So that's where it makes sense for them. And that's their, their wheelhouse, like to what dad's talking about, you know, with Shanahan or whatever, their wheelhouse is going,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, we can find a play where we can do something creative underneath with Edelman or Wes Welker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, no doubt about it. He's right. That's one of the things, again, if you want to talk about Brady, where he's underrated,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's stuff like that, where I go, just weather never mattered for 19 years in New England. It did never effected any gameplay. Snowstorm, blizzard, monsoon, Brady's throwing strikes. Cause Brady's got a great arm, that's where he doesn't get enough credit, where I want to go, why doesn't anybody talk about that aspect of him more?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well. Dad. We talk about it all the time. I know, we do. I know. I know. But you'd be shocked at how the reactions I get on social media from people when I say Brady's arm is very strong. People are like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have it like, they think he's some rhythm anticipation thrower, and I wanna be like, No. No, Brady throws lasers. He's a ripper. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, agreed. I think that the public pressure, I think, will be like, like you're saying, Dad, greater in Chicago, because it is fields, Ohio State, everything like that, Andy Dalton, all of it. I don't know. In my hearts, the hearts of the Bears in that offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't think we're going to see fields trying to run like my home's naggy type of stuff like in Kansas City. I would think they'd try to build off of what they did last year a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's run the ball. Let's, you know, bootlegs. Some quarterback design runs behind that and almost their own version of NFC North Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens type football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and there's a guy I work with in Mike Florio who like as soon as they picked him was like, the Kirk Cousins era is coming to an end. So that's, that's Florio. Yeah. It was a day where he loves him not. All right, dad, done asking you about quarterback questions. All right. And I know you got to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, enjoy your life a little. One question from at JakeGP. Love the pod. Question for the big effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother, Jim Nance says you should never open an email from Phil Sims in front of your kids. He wants to know, is there a backstory to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, alright, I just wanted to make sure. I mean, I knew you weren't one to like, doing anything like, cool or edgy on email, that's for sure. I thought maybe, you know, maybe you could have some four-letter words in your emails, that could be, that would maybe, maybe a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A text with a bad word on it or a picture. I didn't know he was... We, we sent pictures to Florio for his 55th birthday a few years ago. Yeah. And I was like, come on, you know, as my dad and my brother, I was like, let's send a picture to Florio and give him the middle finger. Yeah, why not? And I'd be like, F you, I need this, Florio, happy birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's three that jump out, okay? I mean, one Josh Myers, the center that Green Bay took out of Ohio State. I mean, if Aaron Rodgers does come back and play for them, that could be a big thing, right? Creed Humphrey, the other center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking from Oklahoma, out of Oklahoma from the Kansas City Chiefs, he'd be one I'd look at to be in that conversation. But they did sign Austin Blythe and I don't know, maybe they moved Creed to guard. I'm not sure what they'll do there. They could do a lot of different things. So I wasn't quite sure of those ones. I'm gonna go with the one I said earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron Banks. Yeah, I'm expecting big things from the 49ers. I mean, I think they're a really, really good football team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no doubt about it. I don't care how they figure out this quarterback situation. You know, but one, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offense has no weaknesses other than figuring out how they want to play the quarterback thing. Defense, you know, you look at it in totality, it's pretty damn good too. So then I go, wait, alright, you know, Aaron Banks added to an offensive line with Trent Williams, McGlinchey, uh, Lakin Tomlinson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whoever starts at center, uh, wait, I think, did Richburg retire officially? Either way, they got Alex Mack. To where I just go, now Aaron Banks? I mean, that's, it's one of the better offensive lines in football, no doubt about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think there are going to be a team that's going to be a legit NFC playoff contender here, no matter who the quarterback is. Second round pick out of Notre Dame. Love Aaron Banks. Right? Yea. Certainly looks the part. He was the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, easily. That's probably a little too easy for my likings. I would say those are the two guys that I look at though to be, you know, in the leader house for sure. There's no doubt. They're, they're, they're special. I mean, if you're looking to make some real big money and you got some extra chum change to throw around, Caleb Farley at plus 1800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say watch out for that. That could be scary. Him on an island with a few interceptions and he's defensive rookie of the year. So, uh, and that's how he's gonna get used to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's on it, Pete? His car, he's gonna get his carpenter on it. We're gonna make a glass house. Glass house. His carpenter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you could put in the running here, but this one to me is easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is easy as easy as easy. It's Jalen Phillips. That's the one name I've written down. It is the one name. It's the guy. I mean come on, it's the best, it's the best defensive player in the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, you know, and again, everybody's heard me say him, Micah Parsons, Farley, they're the three best players in the draft. So yeah, I, I want to go to them, but with just Miami and a lot like Chase Young, the Washington defense was good before they got them. Then they got them and we went,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa! This is one of the best in football. And I think that's what's gonna happen with Miami. Miami last year...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20th in football on defense, right? I mean, we're middle of the pack with sacks on defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna help out everything. Pressure on the quarterback. It's gonna make the passing yard numbers look better because the secondary's not gonna cover as long. They already have everything they needed up front other than just a real pass rusher. So I think he takes them over the edge to where they go from being the 20th ranked defense in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, I think it's gonna be no doubt a top 10 defense in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a bad one either. It's not. With what they already have there? With what they already have. Exactly right. I mean, he is, he's in a position to succeed and I don't think life's gonna be made real hard on him. They're gonna go widen out a little bit and go kill the quarterback. Right. And yeah, we have DeForest Buckner and other guys that they're gonna be worried about too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's certainly one to think about. There's no doubt about that. And hey, I like the Colts. They took my dial, uh, uh, my guy from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I got to go with Jalen Phillips. He's just too special and now he's on a team that really understands how to use that edge rusher and do things and there's a real need there. I think he bumps him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just, he's unbelievable. He's, as I've said, it's Bobby Wagner-ish. It's whatever you want to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think too, within that defense, yeaah, he's gonna be playing that Deon Jones spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Dan Quinn, you know, when Dan Quinn was in Atlanta, and it's just, hey, go get the ball. Go get it. Fly around. Do it. And I think that's just as Michael Parsons made for that. Do you think he can have a Devin White kind of impact? Exactly. I do. I think that's, you know, again, he's, if Michael Parsons doesn't opt out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he is a linebacker that's more drafted in the Devon White area, where it's like top 5, top 6 pick of the draft type of guy. I do. I think he had the one little off the field incident, and since he didn't play, that knocked him down about 5 spots in the draft basically. Uhm, but yeaah, I just think it's too...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect of the scheme, the player's too damn good, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, hey listen, Dallas, that's an interesting conversation altogether. I think Vander Esch and Jaylen Smith were put on notice in this trap. With Michael Parsons and then Jabril Cox in the fourth round, who's another great system fit guy. Like that, they're telling you like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Vander Ash, you gotta be better and you can't be injured. And Jaylen Smith last year was, really didn't play well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all going to be made proud. I don't, because so many, they're all good players. I mean, whether you want to talk about Surtain, JC Horn, Asante Samuel Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Amari Rogers, I forgot he was T. Martin's son. I totally forgot. Pete reminded me. And I was like, damn, you know, I remember hearing that early on in the draft process. I had completely forgot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Tennessee. Wyatt Davis, you know, his grandfather is the great Davis, Willie Davis of, uh, the Green Bay Packers. Yea, I was almost going to say the Raiders there for a second. That's Willie Brown I'm thinking of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, and they're all good players, and Wyatt Davis going to Minnesota, there's a real need for the guard position and all that, but I'm gonna go with Surtan. I am. I mean, Surtan is just, to me, the most ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go right now. He's a really good player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a good pass rush there in Denver with Von Miller and Chubb and everything like that. I think that can lead to some erratic decisions by the quarterbacks, but yeaah, I'll go with Surtan. I will. And a tough one. I love that Wyatt Davis pick by Minnesota as well though, the third round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to me, knows I love the Jacksonville Jaguars, second and third round picks. I mean, come on, they're on the all-Crisins draft team. Tyson Campbell and Andre Sisco? Come on. We know. Alright, so I don't wanna pick that. Cause we already, anybody, I wanna give something different. Alright, Kelvin Joseph, I think is a guy, of course, he's gonna start for the Dallas Cowboys right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Elijah Molden, I think what he can do for the Tennessee Titans coupled with, you know, Caleb Farley and the fact that they got Kevin Johnson and Janoris Jenkins in free agency, damn, they changed it around their secondary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Javon Holland with the Dolphins is another one. Aaron Robinson with the Giants. A team that wants to play man to man and got one of the best pure man to man corners in the draft. But I think the one I'm gonna go to is just the one that jumps out to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After, you know, after the first round, I'm gonna go with Paul Sunadebo from Stanford. You know, one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a real need at the position for the New Orleans Saints. They've lost some corners here this year in free agency and everything else. So, and they're another team that, you know, like we were just talking about with the Giants, where I go, they want to play man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aggressive, he's got an unbelievable burst or acceleration factor to close on the ball or receivers and everything like that. So I think he's a really good player, plus it's a style of play that I think fits him and that's where he'll kick some butt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, yeaah. I always get his name wrong. Trevor Moorig. Trayvon Moorig. Trayvon Moorig. With Jonathan Abram. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, you know, it's definitely interesting. You know, he wasn't my favorite player, but there's skills there. Don't get me wrong. You know, his ability to cover in the pass game and do that type of stuff I thought was pretty damn special. So you could have him kind of sorting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They even drafted Divine Diablo out of Virginia Tech, who can play that strong safety position. I just wonder if, like, has he got the red carpet to start this year, or are they going to kind of make him earn the spot? The way I look at it right now, I feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. I think he's right on. That's kinda what I just said to my dad. Right. You know, I just, I wasn't, I'm not sure either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that one is what makes the most sense to me, right? Some sort of, yeaah, I think that's a good way to put it, turboversion. Yeaah, this is Mitchell Trubisky on steroids as far as his ability to run and be explosive as a runner and do those type of things. So yeaah, I think that's what we're gonna see eventually there in Chicago, especially when he gets on the field here in year one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, hold on here, these are ones where, there's a lot, I mean as far as you take two receivers and a tight end combination, you just take those, like, not three receivers, right, just two, three of anything,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is definitely up there. I'm just, you know, again, let me just quickly, Cowboys definitely with their three receivers are going to be in the mix of that conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the 49ers with Kittle, Deebo, Samuel, and Ayuk is a pretty special combo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's another one too. I know, right? It's another one too. I know, I'm trying to run through them in my head too. I mean, of course, I love the Carolina three they got right now. You know, the Terrace Marshall Jr. being that third that we just talked about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not, he might be onto something here, as I just kinda quickly go through this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as proven commodities, cause yeaah, you do have Arizona with Hopkins and AJ Green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, I don't know, Christian Kirk, I mean, I'm excited that they got the second, yeaah, the second round pick they got, uh, uh, uh, Moore, you know, from, from, from, uh, Purdue, Rondell Moore, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Broncos of course have a really good three, but I, I, okay. I think he's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It definitely does. They need that element. We know that. I mean, that's what we're all going to be evaluating. Wallace, you know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like what he can do after the catch. That's where, you know, he can be special that way. He's not necessarily like a one on one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, when you have a game or a way you play football where it's a lot of like, hey, play action or you gotta worry about the quarterback running stuff all that time, all those things too, you don't always have to worry about getting open one on one. But I think like, between him, Sammy Watkins, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Devin DuVernay, uh, they've given themselves some...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a lot of different factors depending on who you talk to there. But I think the thing with Bateman that he'll bring, at least that I really like, is more of a route runner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, has a little size to work the middle of the field, did a lot of that, and has a size aspect and a length and like catching radius aspect that I guess I like about him, that maybe some of the other guys on the offense don't have. Sammy is all about health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I like in theory what they've done here. They bring themselves some different options, but yeaah. It's just like, we gotta see it kinda, I gotta see a few of these guys out of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope they baby him. I hope he babies himself and doesn't do that. You know, eventually that time's gonna come. You know, just like dad was just talking about with quarterbacks with strong arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, again, yeaah, he threw the ball into a lot of tight spaces last year and made a lot of throws in college football to my dad's point where other quarterbacks should go, wait, that's not open or I don't feel comfortable throwing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeah, the Mahomes, the Rogers of the world go, no, that is open. I'm very comfortable throwing that and I'm going to get a completion out of it. So he has that ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I hope he doesn't come out thinking he's gonna be Zach Wilson of BYU right from the get-go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play it conservatively. And yes, they should have training wheels on early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basics. Make the game simple for him. Use the run game to play action. All of those type of things. So yeaah. He has all the ability to be that Rodgers, Mahomes, gunslinger and make any throw you want. But yes, this first year and just having success is the most important thing. You know the biggest difference to those guys you mentioned though? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they were weird circumstances. Yes. You know, they will. It's not that they couldn't play. Right. You're right. But, but there's no doubt. You're right. It's an interesting little tidbit there with those two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Buddy Johnson, little linebacker, solid player. I think the ones that jump out to me, I think the ones I'd look at more than anything. The, the, the tight end, free or moot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, pretty good run blocker, and gonna be a real threat in the pass gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'd probably like the Kendrick Green one the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because they need, they need power and people to move people up front. Green is ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guard-center combination. I think he, I don't know, I don't know what they'll use him as. I guess they might use him as a center right off the get-go. They do have a young guy on the roster from Alabama, too, who I think is in the running for center as well. But those rounds, two and three picks, are the ones that jump out to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A whole lot. The one, the thing I like about all first three round picks is it just shows you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new change in Pittsburgh, what they're trying to do. We're going to get back to balance, run the football, you know, play action pass, do that type of stuff. I expect to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I also know other people that go, you can't pass up Jamar Chase, he's a freak of nature, and he changes how defenses play you, and that type of stuff. If I'm playing quarterback, right, I want Jamar Chase. I do. I, you know, maybe, and maybe that's selfish of me, but I just always feel like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In round two. It's rare. It's rare, right. I don't, you know, listen, I would say like, hey, I love Diyami Brown, right? Like, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yes, I think that chase is a different level of a specimen of a football player. And you said that it still changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does. You know, it's going to make teams think about what coverages, what do we want to do? Do we really want to match up man to man? Do we really want to blitz and leave some of our guys in these vulnerable positions? Everything like that. So yeah, I think as a quarterback myself, hey, I know I want to be protected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but if you're asking me which one I'd rather have a little bit better at, I'd go, I'd rather have the weapons. And then, you know, take a little less pass protection rather than a little less weapons and a little more pass protection. I just, I'd rather have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a great fit for him. It really is. Because he is extremely smart, quick release.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, kind of a twitchy athlete that we've seen all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so he's gonna understand and really be able to digest everything that Sean Payton asks him to do. He's a really good intermediate short ball thrower. We've seen that. I mean, really the negative on Ian Book is just you wish he would throw the ball down the field more and be more aggressive and do those type of things. But I think just from a systematic fit and for a player,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does. It makes sense. He's a poor man's version of a Drew Brees. It's that similar type of guy. So again, I don't know if I ever envisioned Ian Book being a starting quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I can see him being there as like a backup quarterback for Sean Payton for a long long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, very often. He really doesn't. That's his strength. And yeaah, I think they're, they got just the right guy for their football team. He's a good insurance to have for a long, long time and has all the pedigreeing and do all the stuff off the field that you like from a, from a top-notch backup quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, there's no more IMAs? Nothing else? Good, alright. Uhm, that's it. That's it for Chris Sims on button. Paulie, way to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we'll get to that. Again, continue to send the AMAs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might have to start ranking teams that are off-seasons, things like that, putting it all together. Free agency, draft, what teams did the best when you add both together, this off-season, all that type of stuff. There's plenty of things we can still figure out here. So everybody be good, be safe out there. Peace out, Paulie the man. See you soon. Peace. See ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, yo, what's up? Come on, man. Subscribe on YouTube to Chris Sims on Button Podcast. I need you. Please hit the subscribe button, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's right, what's up everybody, it's Monday as Chris Sims Unbuttoned and Ahmed Fareed is here. Yes, have no fear, the mighty brawler is here. That's right, or the mighty ranking of brawlers is here. I could scrap too, I think. I think you could too. I mean, you're from Detroit, it's gotta be in your blood to a degree. I mean, okay, maybe not, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2010, we had like a snowstorm before practice, so there was like a few, like maybe an inch or two on the ground. We had this defense alignment, Dave Ball, who was a good friend on the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all of a sudden, something like, whizzes by, like touches my hair, and explodes on the wall. Right? Uh huh. It's Dave Ball. He threw an ice ball, a hundred miles per hour, hoping to hit someone's head, but thankfully it did not. Yeaah. And I like, got pissed, and like came out of the bathroom like, what the?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How stupid is that? Are you trying to concuss or knock somebody out of the game this week? Where were you in your pee when that happened? Uh, I was like middle to the end, right? So I was getting ready to shake it out. But you still had some to go. So I couldn't go, yeah, but I knew it was him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was doing it to be funny, but that was one where it's just like, that's not funny, that's stupid. You're gonna give somebody a concussion. So I kinda went off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, come on, let's fight right now. And I went, I'm not fighting you. I said, you're 280. I'm not fighting you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, yep, he won't be making the top 4 this year. So we'll go through that. Have you seen the guesses? Like what's like, I didn't really, I looked at social media a little on Friday. Stop. I know. Don't do it anymore. You know what, it's gotten


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like, listen, I know it's Brady and it's, it's accentuated here because of his overall career greatness and all of those type of things and all of that. I know. You know, I thought I did a pretty good job of PFT today to try to explain it again because we went to, we were at number 10 on the show today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, you know, again, it's not a disrespect. I like the player. We know that. He's got an awesome arm. He's a legend. All of those things. Did Mike agree with you? But he, he did. He did. But under pressure, he's not good. Sorry. I don't know what else to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the extension of plays does not exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, again, he needs a special team and formula around him. Does he bring other things to the team that are special? Certainly, I'm not trying to deny that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I know people can't get off that, nor can anybody any year ever get off, wait, one of the two Super Bowl quarterbacks is not one of the top fives. This is like every year. It doesn't really matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, except for Nick Foles, that one year. That was the one where, but even then, well even then, I made him like 30 or something like that year. That year, and people were like, you know, before the Super Bowl,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Jared Goff, I had the same thing. 19th, he went to the Super Bowl. They expected to be top three or four. But now they've seen two years of football and no one bats an eye that he's 31.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, cause they know. It's not about the player always. It's about the team. Stop giving the quarterback all the, all the benefits of everything the team brings to the table as well. And I think that's where people get lost in the Brady conversation a little bit, a little bit at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know, WWE, the headquarter is right around the corner, so if he wants to fight, I will throw your ass in my car and drive you over there. Don't you worry. I'll quit, I'll quit, I'll move.

[Assistant] That's right. I mean, hey listen, we're talking about what's going on on the football field here. Let's just be, you know, upfront with that. I'm not here to be a lawyer or judge people what they do. I am all about just the quarterback on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. I mean, listen, yeah, it's not a good look for him. We know that. It's not a good look for the NFL, the Houston Texans, anything. It's a tough situation, and we don't know where it's gonna go this year, forward to Sean Watson and the Houston Texans, whether he gets suspended, you know, puts on the, you know, Commissioner exempt list, and still gets paid. I don't know. There's a lot to be resolved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he, he's a special football player. You know, as far as between the lines go, he is definitely one of the best our sport has to offer. And really what I want to say is just like, what more can he do? Really? What more can he do? He's phenomenal in every aspect. There's really no weakness to his game. He's a great example of just saying, listen, see, you need a team. You can't, I don't care who you are. Watson is phenomenal. He maximizes everything. He is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An elite passer, thrower of the football. He wants to stay in the pocket to the very last second possible. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His movement, come on, it's as good as anybody in the sport really, other than maybe Lamar and Kyler Murray and maybe another guy here or there. But like, whether that's hopping around in the pocket to make throws or getting out of the pocket and being the Tasmanian devil in it and then getting out to make a play, you know, he's special that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he delivers everything that's there to be had within the offense, okay? And then, then some. And a lot more than some. Because I would argue and sit here and tell you, hey listen, their offense schematically is nothing special. Hasn't been. Offensive line? Hey, it's better now than it was, but not special. You know that. Receivers? Good. Not great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No running game to talk about at all. I believe they were 31st in football in the running game. Yet they were still what, a top 12 or 13 offense? Because it's all on number 4. And number 4 does it all. Now, and again, if the teams are close enough,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? If his team isn't so far outmatched, he might be able to pull off the victory for you. But you know, again, they had a tough year last year. Yeah, four and twelve. He wasn't supposed to beat the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Steelers, you know, or even the Vikings. They're all better teams than the Houston Texans. And for the most part, like I'm saying, if the teams were even somewhat close or there to be had, other than the Bears game, he will


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, take what's there, but the other thing that I love about Deshaun Watson, and here's where we're getting into the category of guys where, you know, I talked about Ryan Tanel and Justin Herbert last week where, you know, there's times where I go, hey, you're too good, your team's not playing good,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now's the time to kinda start taking chances and make something happen, right? Watson is one of the kings of kinda knowing when that point is. To go, wait, we're down 14, nothing, nothing's happened, I gotta start to push the envelope. Now the team fails him at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those scenarios where he might get a few first downs, and then it's first down completion, second down completion, and it's third and one, and they run the ball at the middle, and they get a two yard loss, and they still have to punt it, and you go, well Watson did everything he can, he can't call the plays and block and run and do all those things. So you gotta take all of that into account. But a special, special talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's an incredible deep ball thrower, an incredible playmaker, and he just needs more support around him, plain and simple. That's all there is to the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me look downfield, nobody's open, and now let me just run out of the pocket and do it that way. He is going to go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me look at one. Let me look at two. Let me check the pass rush. Okay, I'm okay. Alright, it's getting tight. Let me see. Three might come open. Let me check again. Okay, it's closing. Now I gotta start moving. And sometimes he waits too long and then it just collapses and he can't get out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's a little bit of the, hey, it's the gift and the curse. It's like we've talked about with Russell Wilson. It's like we're going to talk about with some of these other quarterbacks coming up here in the top four. That's part of the game of, you know, it's their greatness. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're gonna have to live with that a little bit, it's like you're Barry Sanders back in the day. You know, here's a 40 yard run, you're gonna have to deal with a minus 2 yard run every now and then. He tried to break a guy's angle, make a big play, he got tackled for a loss, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think that's the first thing that comes to me. You know, yes, there's a negative, is that maybe he can hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've talked about, I've used the phrase of too much of maybe being the last play of the game mentality for Do- Deshaun Watson. I thought that improved last year. I don't think it was as much as we've seen in years past. I do think he got the ball out of his hand on time and in rhythm a lot more than we've seen in years past and also with lesser help around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was their whole team. And he was, there was nothing else to write about. It's a horrible defense, like I said. So yeaah, I'm a huge believer in him and everything he does on the football field because it's all done at a pretty elite level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think just from purely quarterback play it was. It was. I mean it's hard, you know, you're never gonna look at it and go 4-12, no playoffs, best year, all those type of things. But I think like if you just graded him, and on his play, decision making, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accuracy. Did he miss this throw? Should we have gotten a 70 yard completion and not a 40 yard completion? I do think it's his best year. I do. I think he was extremely efficient. And hey, let's not take into account. The team failed him a few times here throughout the year too. I mean, they're on the doorstep. I'm going to beat the Colts. Guy snaps the ball in the ground. They lose. He throws the ball to Kiki Kute over the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna go down and score and win the game against the Colts again. He fumbles in the two yard line going in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and at times he plays phenomenal until like what you just said right there, the defense can't stop anything. So he could be, there's games where you go, shit, he's 20 for 22 right now for 300 yards and they're losing by 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that's how bad they were. So, uh, yes, he's phenomenal and that's, he's the perfect example of don't put it all on the quarterback. And if he was on a better team, it'd be way better results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been making that team look better than it really is for the last two or three years. He gave them the false sense of confidence to be able to, hey, let's trade around DeAndre Hopkins and let's rebuild our defense a little on the fly. Cause they thought that he could still kind of carry them and get them through, get them over the hump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no, it just was too little for him to make it happen last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, uhm, I wanna say Josh Allen, but he might have been 69 and change. I think he was 69 and change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the point. Like, no dinkin' dunk. Like, we're here, you're dropping back, we're looking for big throws constantly, and you know, you already laid it out. Yards per attempt, yards per completion, he led football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so there's something to be said about that. He's an incredible talent, like we said. And yeah, to be able to throw those type of throws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And always be accurate. He's one of the deep, better deep ball throwers in all of football. You know, 20, 25, 30 yard throws down the sideline, down the middle, whatever. He never loses control. He throws a perfect spiral. It's very catchable always. He's a leader. He's tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, hey, I know we got crap going on off the field. I'm talking about on the field. He does a lot of special things for that team. And he is one of those guys, despite what you want to think of him as a person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, when he's on the field or in your locker room, that team goes, we got a chance. We might win today. Cause we got four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If not, I feel like we're not going to see him until maybe past the halfway point, something like that. I would imagine that this doesn't get settled and the NFL puts him on the commissioner exempt list and he's there until, you know, a little more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always before we do the day before, right? Like so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you've seen the text like, Hey, are you okay with the order for tomorrow? Cause there's been times where I go, Hey, switch this guy with that guy. You know, I just, it's, I've been thinking about it all weekend. I'm going to put him at, this was maybe my toughest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ranking of all, right here. This spot, two and three, was the hardest for me, I think, on the whole list. I went back many times, but I've stuck with what I had here now for, I'm gonna say, two or three weeks. And I haven't changed it, and it's not changing today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, Aaron Rodgers. Yes, I know he's number three. It hurts my soul. It really does. You know, and hopefully everybody can appreciate this from me just being honest in my evaluation. I don't play favorites, even though this is my favorite quarterback of all time. He is. And I still think he's the greatest I've ever seen. Yeah, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MVP, I know people are going to have a hard time kind of swallowing, you know, the fact that he's the MVP and it was 40, you know, 45 and 8 and what are you, or 48 and 5, excuse me, and he's, he's, he dropped a spot. Well, I mean, you know, it's, it's almost like I want to have the conversation with him and the next guy. I want to reveal it so we can go, but I won't do that quite yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Giddy up, giddy up, Josh Allen. Giddy up, giddy up, it's my boy Blue. That's right. Man, I'm telling you, no, it's my boy Blue. It's O'Aaron Rodgers. I mean, I went back and forth with this. You can ask the Sims family. Had a lot of conversations, had a few conversations around football too about this specific spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was like, wait, I'm torn. They're both awesome. They both throw lasers everywhere around the football field. Of course, Rogers is still so surgical with decision-making accuracy and all of those types of things. I mean, his arm is still, it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only behind the two guys that are in front of him in football. It's still a phenomenal, world-class, changing, game-changing type arm. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With all that stuff, the experience, yes, he's better at maybe reading a defense and getting the ball out of his hands quickly. He might be even, yes, a little bit more accurate and wait, quick decision, boom, let me get it there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeaah, he has the advantage of that over Josh Allen, but it's not enough to overcome all the mo-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was second on their team in rushing. You know, you gotta add his eight touchdown rushes to the mix too. Cause it's a big part of what they do when they get in the six, seven yard line. They asked Josh Allen to score touchdowns, running the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, he made more game-changing, game-saving


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievable plays than maybe anybody in football last year, Josh Allen. And that's why he got the rank. Whether it's 3rd and 22, we're down to the Rams. Oh wait, that's Aaron Donald on my back? And he shrugs him off and then runs to the right and throws a laser down the middle on 3rd and 22? I guess the best evens in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we needed a touchdown then to go win the game? No problem, guys. Okay. You know. Oh, it's second and ten in the playoff game. We're on our own two yard line. All the momentum's against us. I can't find any. He scrambles to the right, throws a 40 yard bomb perfectly down the right sideline. It's just that all year long. It's all year long. So, yes, Roger's more accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely a little bit more of like I'm the surgical, like I'm talking about, but not so much more that he makes up for the difference of what Josh Allen brings to the playmaking table now. Josh Allen really got into surgical mode himself too. You watched him all year last year. He didn't, he was great from the pocket. But the thing is, is when there was nobody open or the pocket broke down,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you could argue nobody was more dangerous than football than Josh Allen last year and what he did like outside the pocket, manipulate coverage, throw a laser somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to keep going. Taking care of the ball, and everything's on him. They don't try to run the ball, they don't try to do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defense was average all last year. It is literally like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody plays the game more through their quarterback and puts the game on their quarterback, in my opinion, on Josh Allen or Mahomes more. Are they even more, because at least, at least


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rogers has a decent defense, he has a top tier pass protecting offensive line, and he has a run game to go along with it. So not disrespecting Rogers here, but I'm just saying those other two teams basically just go, here's the ball quarterback, we're gonna put you in shotgun, make it happen, throw lasers today. And that's where, to me, he has surpassed Rogers, who again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know I love my Aaron Rodgers. I love him. It was not easy for me to do this. But, uh, the bills aren't 13 and 3. Unless they have Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, yeaah, right now. It doesn't, it doesn't, I think he can make more out of less, okay? That's really what I'm coming down to. And yeaah, you're spot on. You know, again, if it was, you'd have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're exactly right. You're exactly right. And I'd go, you know, I know, I know he's gonna give us everything we want. He's gonna do all the right things with the football and all that type of stuff too. But my argument would be like, hey, get over it. Get over the old narrative. Josh Allen does the right thing with the football too. He does it. He takes care of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? Let alone he makes some of the most unbelievable plays you'll ever see. He is the Buffalo Bills. He's the Buffalo Bills right now. This is like Aaron Rodgers six, seven years ago. This is what I feel like we're watching with him in my homes. He is them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? Yeaah, they have a good offense, good offense line, not great. Way below average running game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passing weapons are good, not great. I think people overrate them. Diggs is awesome. I mean, John Brown, there's a reason he signed a one million dollar contract with another team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not, he's not what everybody tried to make him up to be to bring down Josh Allen in the, you know, overall big picture of the world. That's what people tried to do last year. Their weapons were better, that's why he's better. Oh, okay, I know, none of the other quarterbacks have any weapons. But like, here's, here's to me where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, and obviously everybody can count and knows, like, Mahomes is coming up at number one. But this is to me where this new age quarterback is different, right? And Josh Allen, I'll even throw Watson in this mix a little bit this way, but really Josh Allen and Mahomes, right? To where, first off, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeah. I'm gonna say this first. I just, I have a few points written down. I wanna, so I'm already down here. I know you're like revealing three quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, so I think it's good to have this conversation like this instead of like, because it is about these three next to each other, right? So, okay. So, I mean, Alan, amazing, carries the offense, does everything like that. The difference between him and Mahomes right now and the rest of the world, even Rodgers, anybody else, you know, I said Watson because he does do this a little too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know hot routes, right? Hot routes. You know your blitz, you gotta get the ball out to a certain guy, right? So let's just say, they're bringing the weak side blitz. It's the will, the free safety. It's four guys coming


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, the quarterback play is now whoever that receiver over there, I'm gonna give him a signal or a route, something short, and now since they blitzed there, there's gonna be a little voided area, we're gonna throw a quick in there and get the ball, right? That's the true quarterback 101. That's what Rodgers and Brady are gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alan and my homes also know how to do that. But they're gonna go, ehh, I'll block one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not so sure I'm gonna let you off the hook and just throw this slant though. I'm not so sure. I'm gonna hang in there. I'm gonna give this guy a down the field throw. See if he gets open maybe before this guy gets here to me. And I might hit him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if he doesn't get open right away, then I'll just let this guy get close to me and I'll make a miss. And then Diggs is gonna be down the other sidelines one on one. I'm gonna throw a 40 yard laser. That's where they're different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they just, it's constant pressure. It's all about them. It's all about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just give him the ball and let's make guys go down the field and do this because they'll maximize every play we throw at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to me, that's where they've separated from Rogers a little bit. You know, the accuracy has not been an issue for Josh Allen for two years. What he's finally done now as compared from the jump of 2019 to 2020 is the decision making has gotten better. You know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I've told you before, it gets in there and hits the receiver and he just didn't think it's going to get there. He drops it or whatever. They're amazing throws, but it's just, you go, don't, don't make that decision. Don't make that throw. Now he knows when to kind of make that and when not to. And that's something where he's gone next level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, if, if I felt like Alan and my homes fell off, I mean, I, I'm not, I'm not going to like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it would take them slipping up. I think it's going to take them slipping too. And then him playing still phenomenal. Yeah. I mean, I think it's going to take that. You know, there's such forces of nature right now. Those two, they really are. Like I said, everything is dictated around them, even the run game, you know, so it's, that's where they're special. I mean, really like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, again, we know Lamar and Kyler Murray, right? They're the best running quarterbacks in football. Who's third?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Mahomes, I mean, it's one of them. It's one of them, right. Probably Watson gets the edge there. And then it's Mahomes, but I mean, that's the kind of guy we're talking about here. We're talking about like, whoa, unbelievable decisions, unbelievable right arm, what almost runs as good as Lamar and Kyler Murray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, it's, that's, it's the modern day super freak we got right now at the quarterback position. And Mahomes and Allen to me, yeaah, they're, they're, they're, you know, they're smarts, they're mental approach to the game, they're aggressive approach to decision making, and then they're pure physical ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me puts more pressure on defenses than any two quarterbacks in football right now. Yea, Rodgers does a little bit more, like, I'm gonna get us in the right play, and I know where to get the ball out real quick against this coverage, you're not gonna be able to stop this no matter what in this coverage. Yea, does he have that advantage over both of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but like I said, it's the other stuff that I think, you know, puts them above him and makes them solidly one and two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I went and visited him two years ago, I knew he was the man. Alright, that was when I went there. He was only one year in, but I went, oh, he's the man. I could tell the whole team was already like, man, he's the man. He's awesome. He's going to be a superstar. You could tell being there. He's all in on it. He lives there. He loves it. That's what he does. You know, he wants to be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he wants to be Brett Farr, Aaron Rodgers, Tom, but he wants to be that kind of guy. I see that within, within him. And then of course we saw the step last year that we talked to, I think we talked about it a little. Maybe that was me and Florio, but I mean last year, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just tells you where he was at early in the year, cause they gave it all to him right away. I think it was you and me last year, we were talking about like week two of the Dolphins game. All of a sudden they were just, I kept going, well they're gonna manage him here, the game's getting close in the fourth quarter. And it was just the opposite, it was like, no, just, can keep throwing it deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's where I went, whoa, they trust him and everything along with that. But my point to saying all that is because he does the stuff you're talking about. See, they can trust him when they know the guy's all in all the time. Hey, he's always here, he's always with Dayball, he's always working on his mechanics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's always throwing with the receivers. He's always talking ball. He put on the film and just watched third downs today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that gives them the confidence to go, here's the keys, go ahead, you got it, you're the man. And yeaah, he's all over that. And sequencing's important, as we've talked about with a lot of the quarterback breakdown stuff. You know, right? You know, you can be all in the same positions, but if you're leading through the elbow, like adjusting fields or doing something wrong, it can lead to the wrong sequencing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I mean, you could argue that last year. It's like, you would have, you would have said like, I believe I even said this on some, some podcasts at the end of the year. Like if you see them running the ball, I mean, linebackers just run around the other way. Like just make, show them they're going to prove to me you're going to run the ball a few times is what I wanted to say to some defenses. Like show me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'll stop biting on the play action. And then you start doing that. Uh, but you're right, that's why play action is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dayball's amazing for that cause he's learned from New England and just the effect it has. And then when you have a guy who has a big arm, if you just get like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One slight wrong step from the linebacker, he can find, oh, there's a slight hole, I'll throw the laser to digs, boom, it doesn't matter. But to your question, yes, they have to change. And there's talk up there, if you read the press clippings and everything like that, they know that. They realize they're gonna be, I think, a little bit


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't want to say the Steelers, but realize like we can't just ask this guy to go, hey, drop back 45 times and just make everybody miss and run all over the field and make every throw possible and win the games. That's not realistic to ask for a second year in a row. So I do think you're going to see more of a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had to kind of abandon it, I think, the way they really wanted to play, especially with the Dolphins and the Rams in Week 2 or 3, who really just took away their run game. Right. Uh, and that change thing. But yes, to your point, they have to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, this is where I don't know and I've seen stuff of this before where I just want to go. As a turnover worthy play, a ball that like could have been intercepted but he threw the most perfect pass just outside the guy's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it got complete because then I would go, it's, you know, it's like the Mahomes thing where I go, oh, it's luck. Oh, it's luck. Oh, wait, wait. Oh, that's the 74th time I've said that today. It's not luck anymore. Like that's where I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not. I mean, you know, of course, the team's gotta play well. We know he's gotta have another year that's similar to what he had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, nobody made more highlight, unbelievable plays than Josh Allen last year. He led football in that category. And that's over Patrick Mahomes, who I'm saying is like the human highlight film. Was it so good though? Was it so good that he


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you will take a step back if they try to play the same way they did last year. Yea. I do. Yea. That was too, it's just too much to ask of the guy with not enough talent around it to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I still think with him, regardless, and Dayball, they're so aggressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna make his plays and do his type of things. So even if the numbers are less, it's gonna be about the importance of those plays. You know, how, what kind of magnitude or what effect did they have on the game? And to me, that's where he's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, him and Mahomes clearly to me had the most game-changing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know effectiveness with throws and completions where you're, you're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, they're in trouble. Ugh, they made two or three throws. Now they're, now they have the power, the momentum's on their side, the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow is swung in their pendulum. Or they're like, oh, they're kind of winning, they're kind of dominating, it's 10-0. Are they really going to make a few more plays? They're like, go up 20-0 or 24? Oh, they are. Okay. See, that's where they're amazing. They can really like, oh, we're down and bring back momentum. Or, hey, we're winning, it's time to put the dagger in, here it comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eeeeee! Dagger. Like that's, that's where they're really special that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. I mean, that's my homie, your homie, my homie. Whenever he's on, I watch my homie, your homie, my homie, my homie and me. That's right. Patrick Mahomes is still the number one quarterback in football. He's the best player in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's, there's really, again, we're talking about a guy that's got no weakness to his football game. There's really not. I mean, everything, whether it's quick decisions, right decisions,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, unbelievable throws off platforms, throwing in the pocket, subtle moves in the pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the ability to extend plays outside the pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throwing balls off of, you know, imbalanced footwork and things like that. There's nobody better in the game. And of course, I don't know if there's a team or an offense that's more based around one guy and his talents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, really in the NFL and literally, I don't know if there's been one more that I can think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really in recent history that he would even compound with that. I mean, it's again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're watching a guy who's gone to the AFC championship game, the Super Bowl, and the Super Bowl, and they basically have just gone, here you go, defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, solid, nothing great. It's all on you. Shotgun, we're gonna call plays that have never been seen in the history of the NFL, and we'll just zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, and you just float around back there and make it happen. Oh, okay, no problem. Two Super Bowl appearances and an AFC Championship appearance. No big deal. I mean, it's insane what they ask of him, how he delivers. Yes, they're talented, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know, I think it speaks for itself. Was it a down year a little bit for him last year? Yeah, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he was banged up a little bit here and there, but still, they had the bullseye on their back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody brings more belief and magic to the football field, to their team, on a weekly basis than Patrick Mahomes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They hit a few, yeaah, they hit a few, you know, snags in the road or, that's not really the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something snags in something. But, well, they played a, you know, of course, listen, you play Kansas City in Patrick Mahomes. The one thing we've seen is, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like the Super Bowl, the teams who play deep coverage have given them issues. You know, so we saw the Chargers in week two, they gave them issues. Baltimore, better defense, the next week plays a ton of man to man that matches up great with them. They love that. See, it's a league of matchups. It's not always about like, oh, we're this much better than this team and not that much better than that team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it's about the scheme, the matchup. The Raiders though, we know they gave them problems. That's what they did. Drop back, play deep, see if they'll throw it underneath. You know, that was the big thing. That to me where I was shocked by the Super Bowl still. I'm shocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, listen, say what you want, I know Mahomes wasn't 100%, that game plan was not good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all there is to be said about it. And that's gotta be the next part of the offense. I saw Mahomes to make a quote this past, uh, this past week about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we're gonna get the running backs involved in the passing game more this year. Yeah, you got to. They have to grow that part of their offense. You know, it was nothing. Was Mahomes a little greedy in the Super Bowl? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they took the game plan from that first game and didn't get the same game plan from the defense as that first game. And they never changed, never did anything. So that's where they have to grow to help him at a little bit. So he doesn't always have to like, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teams playing us better or they're playing us tough. We don't change anything. I'm just expected to make more unbelievable plays. Oh, it's the Super Bowl. Scramble to the left. Nobody's open. Let me throw a ball running to my left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with my right arm, across my body, 30 yards down the field, and it hits Tyree Kill in the face at the one yard line, right? Or some of those drops. Like, that's what they ask them to do. Like, they're covering us extra good, so you have to throw it extra gooder today. And it's like, no, that's not realistic to ask of a guy all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let alone they have no pass protection in that community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think you're gonna see more of the Clyde Edwards Hilaire in the past game. And hopefully a little bit more variety in their tack either way. But like the point is what you said right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, there's no- he's the greatest equalizer in the sport. I mean, the greatest- they beat the- they beat the Dolphins and the Saints late in the year, right? 32-9, 33-27. They didn't play good. They didn't block anybody. For eight quarters straight, they didn't block anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's still through eight touchdowns and two interceptions or whatever else. He's, he's, he can almost overcome anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I still believe even in the Super Bowl with no blocking, if his toe was healthy, I still think it just, it would have been closer for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made Deon Sanders retire. That's why he retired. It's a way more serious injury than people realize. So I do worry about that. Here's my only worries about Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen within the next five to six years, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no worries about anything they do in the football field. I worry about both of them gaining too much weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they were gonna, if I was gonna be, cause I'm friends of theirs, like, they don't know it, but I'm telling you, I like them a lot. Like, if I would say anything to them, I'd be like, keep running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep in running shape. So you get in the NFL sometimes as a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, you get to the off season and yeaah, you're in shape, but you might not have been in training the way you were like your first year in the NFL, getting ready for the combine or the way you were in college when they make you work out and run and do sprints like every day of your life. Right. Right. To where you go, well, I want to be loose and relax and be able to throw the ball the way I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, that's the only negative I've seen. I can see with those two. It really is. They have the propensity to get a little thick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that will compromise their ability to move and make magic happen. That's the only thing I worry about is just a guy who, you know, analyzes bodies. Seen a lot of quarterbacks in my life and, you know, I certainly root for these two a lot. So you would just say as a friend, don't get fat. Just watch your weight. Keep running. Keep training to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, don't lose that aspect, because it's such, it's such an important part of their game. It's special, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you don't want to just hit that, well, I'm in shape, I'm an athlete, I'll get in shape when I got to. You won't be the same if you approach it that way. But yes, Mahomes is number one. He's the best quarterback in the sport. He's the best player in the sport. Josh Allen is not far behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not for my money. It's, it, it, it was a serious gap close within the last year, but still Mahomes is still the man. And then I think, yes, Rogers is just slightly behind Josh Allen. As I told you, that tormented me going back and forth between that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're freaks. Josh Allen is this freaky of a quarterback that's ever came into football. If Josh Allen has the same year he did last year, and Mahomes has the same year he did last year, and they play in the AFC Championship game and Allen wins this time around, Allen can be the number one quarterback in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe, maybe, but it's, it's not far off. It's not. So we'll see. Let's see if they can replicate what they did last year. You, I mean, you said it. I don't know if they can really play that same way and expect all the positive results they got, but they went 13 and three last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no running game and I'm just going to make sure I have this right and a defense that was 14th in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, that usually doesn't mean 13 and 3. And that's because they have Josh Allen a quarterback, and that's why it happened to be 13 and 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of how highly I talked about him coming in the draft. I've met Mahomes before. He knows all the praise I gave him before the draft. So maybe I've cozied up to him enough to where he'd maybe do me a solid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is hard, but that was great to watch yesterday. You know, again, I look at like that Tyrod Taylor area right there in Case Keenum to where maybe I should have had Case Keenum up in front of some of those guys that are young and unproven to this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I do think about that a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, after that, I mean, as of right now, I feel pretty good. Let me have another day, though, of just looking at the list total, cause I did have a few that kinda came out here and there as we were going through it, where I went, eh, maybe I should have switched this or that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I had to go into New Orleans, you know, podcast last week to explain that. You know, first off at base level for everybody to go, like, do you think like Sean Payton,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who got rid of Drew Brees and Taysom Hill, he loves him. Like, do they really think he's that much worse than that? We're gonna, we're talking about, we're, they're basically disrespecting one of the greatest offensive minds we had in football 20 years ago. The guy you think's gonna be the starter isn't as good as you think. How dare you think that? Well, and he, and it happened last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I don't understand. You just, some people you can't win an argument with. I don't understand. And stop evaluating, as I've said many a time so far, all these guys through the same Brady and Manning quarterback lens. It's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, yeaah, that's cool the way they played, but there's so many different ways to play the position now. You don't have to be that way, and Taysom Hill is never gonna be like them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're never gonna be like him either. And he's gonna do things from a different scope or a different way that we haven't seen. So he's a force of nature that way. Yeaah, he might not pick you apart with his right arm as much as they did. But he's gonna do some other things and put pressure on the defense still at a very high level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, that's why he's 24. So yeaah, that's a tough one. Big Ben and Jimmy G there at 22 and 21 was also a really tough area for me as well. I think those are the ones at least that jump out to me to where I'm like, uh, I don't know if I got that right or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a good friend. He's a good friend. He realizes, he's like, wait, let me take some heat off my friend Chris Sims, who's getting shit on daily and let me take some of that. So I'm excited for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, first off, I would have been like, if I was Deshaun Jackson, I'd be like, listen dude, you're not wearing my jacket until you put a t-shirt over that hairy chest. That your hairy chest is not touching my jacket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a smoking hazard. That's true. I think they told him. He got in trouble that night. I think they came in there like the fire marshal or whatever and told him to put it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no rules in the state of Louisiana. They decided to make that a rule that night. They started to enforce that and Odell giving somebody cash. Like that was the, they decided to enforce a law in Louisiana for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like an athlete. Ooh baby, look at that. Look at that midsection. Look at that thing. That cost him a few million dollars in the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see what that, I'm interested to see if that changes as we hear in the NFL now. You know, just because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there was a, I was always told by people down there, there was a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A trying to be bigger and put weight on and be that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To where once you get to the NFL, you realize, wait, I don't need to be quite that big. And your core's a grown man who's finally ending growing to where weight starts to stick onto you naturally. I wonder if the look will change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that and like, what, the office? That's the other one. He's, he's big. Yeah. Baker big. Yeah. They just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry. Up there. But Parks and Rec is one I had no nothing about really. I haven't watched that either. So I need to watch that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, Pete, let me just say, he didn't survive shit. He makes a hundred million dollars. He has lots of people watching his kids. You're doing way more in that department. He's not playing quarterback and telling his kids to be quiet at the same time like you are right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I used to have this, uh, back in the day, just speaking of that, Kyle Orton, right? You remember this? You remember Kyle Orton? I remember Kyle Orton, yea. He was famous for he would do the same thing, but not bend his arm. You gotta chug a beer, but you can't bend your arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would it, would it fly through the air then? That's what he would do. He would hold it up like this, and go, ah, ah, ah, and yeaah. That kind of became a thing for a little bit. Would he get it all over his face? Of course a little bit, but he was pretty special at making it pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, just there's that like, you know, whatever is just that big burly man look like big Ben and I can drink a beer all day. You know, let's go work out in the farm and then drink some beers. You know, Josh Allen, I know he grew up on the farm in California, uh, but yeah, he definitely would be one to have some fun with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worrying about their commercial appeal. I don't know if that's the right way to say it. But not worried about being like so right, goody two shoes, I've never drank a beer. They've humanized themselves. Which I appreciate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely think so. You're gonna get some good stories. I know I'm looking just to see if there's anybody else out there. I mean, I really hit...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of the, the key, key figures there. Uh, I'm just trying to look if there's anybody else that jumps off to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking through too, yeaah. He didn't pick, he loves the Giants, he didn't pick Daniel Jones. Uh, but I, I'm with him, I think those are pretty, pretty strong top 10. I probably would have gotten more Cam Newton over Mac Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mahomes won, my boy blew two, Rogers ten on the drinking, so that's why I had to drop him to number three on my list, you know. Exactly. And if you can't be in the top five, I'm Demolitus' drinking buddies. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's a good point. I like, that's a straw, I'm liking the Miz. Miz, first off, I knew you were the two-time champ in all those things too. I should have done the introduction. He's an idiot, this guy next to me. I don't know what else to say. Uh, wait, just to, I wanna clear, clarify one thing too, just to make sure we're not in any bias here or anything like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see that. See, he's got two scrappers as head coaches. They both got that mentality of like motivation, tough, like get the other guy to be better than what he really is. And he's right about Josh Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm with you. Listen, I like how you're breaking this down. You're really all over it. And like, McVeigh, so give us a little like, McVeigh, even though smaller, he can move some weights and do some things, right? What would he do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. I don't, I don't disagree with that. Uh, not at all. Uh, but I do like, Miz is coaching you up the right way. I mean, the guy knows talent. He's evaluating the right way. I do want to ask you something, Miz. I've been, I'm seriously interested in this. Like your own training regimen. I'm just like, you know, what do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How often do you work out? And I guess the other thing I just am interested in, like, does the WWE stay on you about your training regimen and how you look and, you know, like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disrespectful, man. Totally disrespectful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would have McVeigh and Stafford versus Allen and McDermott in the finals. And I think you're, you're going to go with McVeigh and Stafford to win it, right? Are you saying they're the, you'd make them one or would you go with Josh Allen and McDermott?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. No, I'm, I mean, I'm impressed with your football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You too, man. Good luck with everything, dude. That was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. It was like I planned it. I was like, if you would have asked me, could I bring a guy on the shit on Ahmed's list? It would have been, tell me, can you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you, alright, maybe a homework assignment? You like to assign homework to me, I got one for you for the first time ever. We do it all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want your wife to see that segment, and I want you to film her reactions of that so she can tell you how you didn't defend yourself well enough or something like that. Even though you don't have to record your wife. But I would at least like to know her reactions of how you just buckled under the pressure to Miz right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was well done. Okay, that's it. I gotta go collect my-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took some, he took some, yeaah. So what we basically got to it today, Chris Simms top 40 quarterback countdown, awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just talk about it. It's not life or death. You don't have to hate me forever if your guys not ranked where they wanted. I don't hate you forever. Unless you say bad things from me on social media, then I make sure I do. I'm just joking, but let's have some combos about it. Peace. Be good. Uh, talk to you Wednesday. Clap it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, yo, what's up? Come on, man. Subscribe on YouTube to Chris Simms Unbuttoned Podcast. I need you. Please hit the subscribe button, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry. WTF. No, this is the first time on this one, and if you're watching on YouTube, it's a tighter shot, right? Because we have the board in the background, which we're going to show some plays of that. But if you are listening, we want to let you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not abandoning you. We're showing the plays, but we're gonna be better at describing the plays. Yes, we've abandoned the listener a little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I said I got the Chris Sim special. They go, I go high and tight. Uhm, but we got a tighter shot. I am wearing my Steph Currys. I know. So you can't see that because the shot is tighter here, but I am wearing them. And I did get a message. I get to get my Steph Currys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted to make sure I was hooked up. I did get one person that said, uh, after last podcast, they go, you're a sellout man. Cause I was wearing the under armor shirt and the Steph Curry. And I go, yeah, I've made that clear. That's what I said from the beginning. I go, I'm a sellout. Some people, some people say I will only.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so we're gonna talk about Stafford and the Bucks, that game a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mack Jones and, uh, the Saints, uh, we're just, uhm, a little bit of discussion there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chargers and Chiefs, what's wrong with Patrick Mahomes? Are they not seeing things that are out there for them? And the play that I will break down, Arizona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Jacksonville Jaguars, uh, coming up. So, so that's what we got coming up. We'll start with the big Sunday night game, uh, from last week. We'll also try to kind of spin it forward into who they're playing this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll start with the Packers versus the 49ers, very tight game, very entertaining game. It looked like Jimmy G was gonna be the hero, marched the team down the field at the end, uh, but Aaron Rodgers was Aaron Rodgers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After looking at the film, was Aaron Rodgers as good as he appeared that night?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were very complimentary of Matt LaFleur on Monday. Yeah. After looking at the film, was this one of the better game plans that he's come up with, you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After week one for the Packers against the Saints, we're wondering what, what, what's happened here with Aaron Rodgers. And then the Lions played them pretty tight, played deep. There were not many big plays early in that game. And so we were wondering, all right, can they break any big plays against the 49ers? And the first play that we want to show with them here is a, is a big play. The 47 yarder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Rodgers to Marquez Valdez scantling. Right. And it's kind of interesting because it ties into maybe one of the plays where the 49ers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, had an opportunity that the Packers actually defended in a similar or dissimilar fashion than what the 49ers did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Valdez Skantling is going to run a post in between the two safeties in the middle of the field there. And Adams is on the right, going to run in front of the right safety there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it looks like to the layperson, Jimmy Ward has a decision to make here. Either go deep with Valdez Scantling or come up on, uh, Devonte Adams. Who is open? It seems like he's kind of finding a soft spot there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause Jimmy G is seeing George Kittle on the left side of the field, and if you're even, you're leaving. Definitely, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't react immediately, because I looked at it at the time of the throw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the time Jimmy G threw the ball, Jair Alexander is 20 yards away from George Kittle. Right. He's like 25 to 30 yards away from where he's eventually going to intercept it. No doubt. No doubt. So if he's not reacting in that moment where he sees that receiver in front of him, Ayuk, sit down, if he's not going deep at that moment, there's no way he makes the play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love, I love that play. And it's crazy that it's the same play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking about us. Thank you, Aladdin Bust you. We're number one in his list. Thanks dude. Uh, what is Jimmy G doing for the Niners right now that Trey can't do? Jimmy's throwing is very inconsistent, and the run game isn't firing on all cylinders. Chuck in Trey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because as much as we love the running quarterback, and all the advantages that that brings, the extra blocker, all that stuff, dynamic playmaking, if the pocket breaks down, you can run around, you can do stuff, you still have to be able to surgically pick apart defenses, and the next play for Rogers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that once again? Surgical. 12 yard touchdown to Marques Valdes, scantling again, featured. Uhm, what did he do on this play that was so special?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he under, if Rodgers under throws that, Len, Lenore picks it, you're like, great play. Good job. Exactly right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Discipline. So that's not the safety tart. You know he's standing there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last one I want to get to on this game is the play that you talked about with Paul, and it's to get into field goal range. And it's not the one that ultimately got him into field goal range. It's their first play, uh, the 25 yarder to Devontae Adams. This one comes from Kramer the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love the show, been listening since before you joined NBC. Wow. You existed before NBC? Not to you. I had no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'd love to see you break down the first completion from Rogers to Adams on the drive to set up the winning field goal. So here it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So which, in talking with Paul, you're like, this doesn't happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, this doesn't exist, which, layperson here, I'm like, well that seems pretty basic, uh, deep in route, why is that so rare?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the 49ers are perhaps thinking like, okay, it's going to be, they're attacking the outside of the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to move on to the Rams and Bucks game, but right at the end of this, I want to just say one thing about the clock management for the 49ers. There's a whole lot of uproar from the San Francisco side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Shanahan should have, uh, you know, run more time off the clock at the end of their position before they scored the go-ahead touchdown. Remember that? There was like 43 seconds. There were 12 seconds on the play clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most important thing is scoring, because I think at that point, before that play, the 49ers still had like a 50-50 chance of winning the game. Right. Once they scored, they had an 85% chance of winning. So at that point, the most important thing is just getting in the end zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, do you want to leave Rogers as little time as possible? Sure, but if you're going to prioritize things, figure out how to get in the end zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had all three other timeouts, so that's what people are saying, you had all three of your timeouts, just take it easy, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you still, once you score it, had an 85% chance of winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We thought the Bucks had one of the best defenses in football, and they still do. They got all those guys back from, uh, their Super Bowl winning team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go down to my guy, Matt Stafford, and the Rams, 34-24. Uhm, so you looked at this tape, you saw some of the things that the Rams were able to do against this defense. Yeaah. What'd you find out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's do the play. So here, you know, Deshaun Jackson, nice to have him. Nice to have him healthy. Gives you some speed. Not every team has that. Not every team has that speed, downfield, deep threat. That's why Deshaun


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jackson keeps finding jobs despite, you know, the injury history there because when he's healthy, he just totally changes the complexion of your team. What you can do, you can stretch the field and perhaps you can stretch it 75 yards for a touchdown against the reigning Superbowl champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Cause you're thinking they're going to run a pattern around 10 yards trying to pick up the first down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Deshawn Jackson should have man coverage with a safety helping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you're a quarterback and you see the safety on all fours, you're ready to pounce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WZ Caldwell, do you think the Rams are now the favorites in the NFC?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Rams this week versus Arizona. What trouble you think the cards could give them? Anything different? A different look?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what did they do? That's their challenge this week is stopping Kyler. What did they do to stop Brady when they did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenny Young. Well, I think the cool thing here too is just as late in the game, Bucks down, two touchdowns, actually mid third quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because as it is, what happens here is you got your right tackle, Tristan Wirf's just, you know, got nothing to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you have up front now is you have a back blocking the linebacker Kenny Young. Interesting where it's blocking nobody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're a back and you're dancing around the guy that you just didn't block around your quarterback getting a hogtied, bad feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's the question. You know, Brady's got another defense he has to face this Sunday. Yeah. Have you heard about this game? I, you know, I haven't. You're going back to Foxboro. Oh, yeah. First time. I didn't know about that. Uh, Sunday Night Football. Uh, this one is from YouEvolving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says just wait and see. The New England defense in single digits. Unconventional numbers to confuse Brady. Oh, the single digit numbers, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20 of 30 for 117 yard type stallion. That wasn't his, but no real big plays, and I was looking at it, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Week one, his average intended air yards, that's how far you're throwing the ball downfield on intended passes, not just completed ones, was 26th in the NFL. Week number two, third from last. Now, last week, ironically, the offense didn't look very good, but he was 12.1 yards per


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intended pass, uh, second most in the NFL. So I guess they did throw the ball down the field a little bit more last week. They tried. Which didn't see it. Yea, you're right. They tried. Right. They didn't complete a whole lot of those. No. Uhm, but what's the issue here? Why aren't they getting the big plays? Is it Mac? Is it the offense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not all the rookie quarterbacks are going to look like Justin Herbert did last year or Joe Burrow did last year. Uhm, speaking of Herbert, they went into Kansas City and won. And really, a lot of times in that game, he may have looked like the better quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they've been proven right. So I think this leads to our play. It's a good question from, uh, Junton PD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Self-scout thyself. I love Mahomes, but he's been part of the problem these past two games. Something he needs to work on, which he did well in the Cleveland game and the first half of the Baltimore game, is trust the pocket. Just because you got hit last play doesn't mean bail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This play, and I think that kind of leads in, and you talked about this too, getting out to that big lead. And you think that there were opportunities for Patrick to trust his O-line and to trust the play and get out to that big lead in the first quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First quarter, no score. Five minutes to go in the first quarter. First and ten. There's a big play opportunity here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should be able to get back to basics against Philadelphia. They're Philadelphia this week? I haven't even looked at the next week's schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rats coming through, looking good man. Thank god we couldn't see that till now. Looking good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here we go. So I did a little, I was looking at the little film. That's why I love you. I was looking at some film and I thought this play stood out to me for a lot of the reasons, the things that you tell me about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and now they're gonna try to get the big play. Yes. The flea flicker play. Yeah. Which I give them credit. I love when teams try to do something a little crazy and go for big play here. Uh, so what happens here? There's a couple things that I want to point out. Yeah. Uh, first of all, you're big F up the play guy, right? Yeah. This is WFT Wednesday. Right. Hold on, let me, you know. F up the play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's a great time to take a chance? Great time to take a chance. So that's what we're gonna do here. So let's uh, let's play it. I'm gonna play it here and then we're gonna go forward here, slow motion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here we go. Okay, here we go. So, we got a little, here's the handoff right here. Right, so you got run action, everyone's reacting to the run. I got seven blockers in, both tight ends stayed in. Hold on a second here. I want to see this guy right here. Look at that. That's JJ Wath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is our, this is our F the play up. Yup. So watch, watch this. Watch this. We got, we're double teaming him. Or at least, I think that's the idea. Well, you should be. We're double teaming it. We got, we do have a lineman here. Andrew Norwell. I don't know what he's doing. A little bit of a pirouette. But he's the issue with the play. We have a better angle of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but here's the deal. So you're supposed to double team him. We've got a little bit of a pirouette. That's not good. The running back. Pause it. Pause it. Okay, hold on. Hold on, right now. Look at the, look at the play first off. Just show everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had some help, but if JJ Watt is not there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the run fake. It worked. The flea flicker, it worked. It worked. You got the safety to bite. Yup. And now you got Chark wide open for a touchdown. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Touchdown. But, cause JJ Watt effed up the play. Yep. And let's, let's run it. Boom. Throws it short. Interception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want to jump to conclusions on any of these rookie quarterbacks, which is good, right? They're not all in great situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But man, it's, it's uh, Wednesday. It is Wednesday. We got lots of stuff we're gonna hit here today. I mean, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basic training camp stuff, stories that I think haven't been hit, all that, but the first story of the day is your outfit. Absolutely. Yeah. Uh, yes. I mean, what like, like seriously, what the fuck are you doing wearing a blazer on my podcast?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know I did. I saw a little on social media. Listen, I mainly go through what's going on on my social media a little. I go through Pete. I mean, Pete Demolitolitis is truly the angel on my shoulder because he knows that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can get a little emotional with stupid tweets or things like that where I want to prove my point and all that type of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He filters the good and the bad for me to keep me in Owusu now.
