welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin coward podcast go on hit the Subscribe button there you go right down there if you want to be among the first to hear my weekly takes NFL college football more right [Music] there immediate reaction if you wonder why the NFL is King on television 27 to 20 tonight was a great example decided by that much a toe decides the game listen Baltimore was outplayed for big chunks of this thing and almost almost tied it they they almost certainly would have gone for two and the win and that's why Baltimore is so dangerous you know Lamar Jackson did not throw the ball down the field effectively um nor has he ever as well as Patrick Mahomes although Mahomes did not throw the ball down the field much last year because it was one of the worst receiving cores in the league with worthy now that's a deep threat they've added some Dimensions um an over the toop receiver Juju Smith Schuster will become more productive over time he just got reacquired so Watson rice now Rashid rice looks like a number one uh Worthy's going to be a gadget guy early I don't think he's a heavy volume guy a 910 catch guy but he adds an element they didn't have he's an over over the top playmaker um but it's interesting watching Baltimore they had a lot of uh offensive penalties especially early in the game they don't throw the ball down the field enough and then you get that final drive by Lamar Jackson where I mean he it honestly he reminds me of like a great high school player where he's just so much better than everybody else on the field he's like a high school football game and there's one D1 Prospect and it's the quarterback and he's just running around making all these plays happen Lamar Jackson makes other great pro football players look slow and unathletic and that's why I'll always defend him he's not momes and and Payton Manning probably wasn't Brady you know and mikkelson wasn't Tiger Woods and Barkley wasn't MJ Lamar Jackson is so productive he cares so much um now I thought the one my one real negative with Lamar Jackson you can't get hit that many times I'm sorry you can't last 17 games in the regular season two or three playoff games playing like that Lamar's lost weight he's thinner and he took a beating tonight now I think this game means so much to Lamar he not gonna slide he not g to run out of bounds against Kansas City so I don't think Lamar is gonna play like this this this sort of physical football game on average but he took a beating tonight and that Kansas City defense is fast and physical that you have to reduce you you can't play like that um but I will defend Lamar to the very end he is such a remarkable player um you know he just he doesn't throw the ball down the field consistently but he finally has a really nice group of receivers Isaiah likeley is terrific that's the football game and the fact that that guy went down in the back of the end zone I thought he broke his ribs I mean he just slammed down on the corner where it's not you know it's not padded very well gets up and he's making plays what a what a gamer um you know I look at my notes over the course of the game [Music] um I think here's the really good news for Kansas City um last year it's often discussed right ad nauseum that receiving C is bad Rashid rice was young he felt like maybe a two he felt like a one tonight you know now I is he a great one is he a top five one is he CD lamb is he Devonte Adams no but he he felt like a real goto high volume 13 targets nine catch guy for them uh they have now Noah gray they've got a second tight end Watson's around Juju Smith Schuster and again Xavier worthy um you know I I joked when they drafted him I'm like he's a track guy he's 165 pounds uh you know I don't think that he's going to lead them to the Super Bowl but he adds a dimension to an offense that since Tyreek Hill left they don't have a downfield threat so you know for the longest time in the game he just had that one you know reverse touchdown but blown coverage later he gets a second touchdown and you have to account for him you know that that's the bottom line last year you didn't have to account for anybody nobody scared you down the field well now they have a one in Rashi rice they have a downfield threat they have multiple Watson Noah gray Travis Kelce um they've solved their weapons issue and for the record how the hell did Isaiah Pacheko what did he drop to the seventh round how did they get him in the seventh round that guy's insane just it's amazing to me you you get to the 14th player in the NBA draft you're out of players Brock p is the last guy taken and Isaiah Pacho I think he was a seventh round guy God how did all these GMS watch film and just keep passing on him he's impossible to bring down run so hard he can catch it out of the back field what a weapon he is so Kansas City's weapon shortage they're going to be fine there um and this this is you're just looking at two great organizations I love watching these two play and and there's a reason Kansas City keeps winning Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes um you know they LED 20 to1 at one point and it I I kind of felt first half I thought Baltimore was just kind of trying to find its footing they weren't throwing the ball down the field second half Kansas City in that screen game pulls away um I thought you know if you if you watch that game you could say yeah Kansas City controlled big chunks of it and here comes Lamar just putting the team on his back taking too many shots running down the field making big plays the guy's just an all-tim just an absolute all-timer but you know Sports is like this you know if you take Tiger Woods out think how many tour events mikkelson wins I mean Phil he had to have over like 45 T wins didn't he take out one guy take out Barkley and it changes uh take out MJ it changes Barkley's career with titles uh take out John Elway's career Joe Montana Brady there's so many great athletes who we he spend so much time criticizing because they can't beat the legend I talked about that on FS1 today God Lamar is just so unique and so gifted but he took a beating tonight and you just can't play that way um ad with Baltimore and Kansas City tonight all the weapons All The Talented players on the perimeter and running backs I kept thinking does Baltimore match up excuse me I kept thinking does Buffalo match up with these guys now that Stefan Diggs is out like I'm watching all these weapons for Kansas City and and and and Baltimore including their quarterbacks you know who matches up in the AFC Houston Houston's got these kind of weapons s adding Joe Mixon Stefon Diggs tank Dell Nico Collins CJ St like I'm both these teams tonight I mean it's tight ends it's wide receivers it's slot guys it's running backs it's alltime quarterbacks you know Buffalo is I like cook couple good tight ends a rookie receiver you know Buffalo may be what Kansas City was last year and they may be weapon short and that's why a lot of people myself and cruded kind of like Houston I mean at some point last year may have been the year to beat Kansas City that may have been the year you know they weren't going to have home field uh they they couldn't beat you in a track meet uh they had the G keep the the games pretty close and low scoring now this team's back to I mean again this is Worthy's first game what's Xavier worthy going to do in week 8 through 13 week 10 through 17 so last year may have been the year to get Kansas City NFL week one is here and a

so lucky to do what I do for a living I'm sitting there tonight I order door Dash eating some Mexican food and I'm sitting there watching that and I'm like I mean this is how good is this Arrowhead momes Reed Harbaugh Lamar Jackson and I'll just say it again Baltimore didn't play particularly well and it was this close so you can sell all your Raven stock I'm buying it I didn't think they played that well I didn't think Lamar played that well and he he's driving him down against that incredible defense you know because of Reed and momes that Kansas City defense it'll just never get the love it is so fast so Twitchy consistent pass rush Chris Jones Edge Rush linebackers that move well that's it or Baltimore probably goes for two and has a chance to win when you don't play particularly well on the road in Arrowhead and almost beat the Chiefs I'd be worried these two will meet again that's what it feels like to me [Music]
