Detroit Lions OT win vs Los Angeles Rams, Tom Brady's rough TV debut, NFL Week 1 reactions | 3 & Out

Intro what's up everybody Welcome to three and- Out YouTube page I'm John middleof and we are talking football all day every day make sure you subscribe like the video share with your friends let's roll baby football is officially back the Lions take down the Rams in overtime shove it right down their throat run the ball to pay dirt as uh the announcers say well the good ones not sure about Tom Brady but went on with Colin earlier talked a lot of different things obviously I'm going to talk about the Sunday night game the Rams I I saw a lot of positive things from the Rams that I want to dive into obviously the Lions someone I mean I believe they're a Super Bowl Contender uh had some up and down moments tonight but I think you see the talent on their roster is just immense me and Colin talked about Tom Brady but it really hit me watching Collinsworth in that game so want to hit on a couple things there the Pittsburgh Steelers um I I think they had a problem on their hand and I think it was somewhat answered at least for the short term then I thought we hit on a little overrated underrated just things I saw from today even a couple things from yesterday overrated underrated so far in this early season was only one week I love I wait for the overreactions for week one well yeah we just going to react to what we saw saw and there was some awful there was some good and uh there was some stuff in the middle but there was just a lot of bad and a lot of good obviously the goal you just got to win you just got to find a way to win because the Rams are a good example of like if they would have pulled that thing out with all their injuries they would have been feeling it but then they lose and it was like well all for not we got a mash unit in our training room tomorrow so we we'll dive into a little bit of everything we have podcasts all week obviously we got a pretty big game tomorrow night Aaron Rogers comes back to California 49ers versus the Jets Noah

game I mean that was the second half of that game Stafford Rams/Lions Reaction turned on Hall of Fame mode played outstanding could have thrown a pick there at the end of regulation the Lions had guys making plays left and right the physicality of that game the overtime drive and it kind of hit me in most sports you just ride your big Brands no matter what because the little Brands just don't resonate it is hard for the NBA to force OKC on people regardless of how good they are they were just the number one seed Major League Baseball is praying to the baseball gods that somehow they could get Yankees and Dodgers win every round and meet in the World Series in the NFL the Lions the overwhelming majority of my life 39 years old have been terrible they have had two Good Seasons really just one because two years ago they didn't make the playoffs and they can immediately use them and it immediately Works last year they were on the opening game against the Chiefs on Thursday night and tonight they were in a spot that was held for a long long time by the Giants and the Cowboys it was just like giants Cowboys Sunday night play it in New York or play in Dallas I felt like it was that game eight out of 10 years for a stretch and the thing with the NFL no matter how bad you've been the moment you become good the moment you matter and the moment America will watch you and the lions are just immediately watchable their coach is cool their team is fun one thing they really have going for we see like their back end of their defense is going to be a question until they answer it obviously they drafted a couple guys they added Davis from Tampa Bay they have definitely put resources in there but the strength of their team the offense is just complete if Jared gof just plays solid their offensive line is awesome they have multiple sweet running backs one guy a physical player that overtime drive you can just hand him the ball every play right up the gut and he will drag players the other running back is like the new Young Alvin Kamar they have one of the best if not the best current possession wide receiver St Brown who can work the middle of the field the play he made tonight when he slipped hit the ball down was incredible they have one of the best young tight ends in the NFL and now they have Jameson Williams who has a little basketball player to him every time he goes down you're like is he injured and then he kind of limps off then he comes right back and he's fine but he has Elite Speed so they can stretch the field they can work the middle of the field they can get to the edges on runner on runs with their quick running back they can shove it up the gut with their physical running back and their offensive line is just going to shove your defensive line back so their offense is as complete as there is in the NFL You could argue player for player quarterback clearly like the Chiefs now have a more complete offense and you would take theirs because they have no momes but if all quarterbacks are equal and we're just judging the other 10 guys I think you would put l the Lions near the top and the other thing is the question with Dan Campbell always going to be was like what's he doing just like with any CEO head coach well we saw Tomlin today it's pretty clear his teams are just ready for a fist fight they live for that and that's kind of Dan Campbell like his team has taken on his personality that is a physical team and and that is a team when you play like that that translates to the biggest games now Jared Goff got a little iffy with a couple passes he's gonna be their question mark but I I think I forget the stat off top of my head they play a ton of indoor games this year outside of Detroit obviously they play indoors at home and if they could get the number one seed McVey called it last year that playoff game the loudest environment he's ever been in it's a huge Advantage the other thing is when you get a really high pick and you hit on that guy he usually is an exceptional player right it sucks when you miss on him because of the draft Capital when you take a guy like Trey Lance you make a huge trade or you know whoever I mean there have been a million swinging misses over the years in the top five but when you hit a home run and you're like we got miles Garrett we got Nick Bosa we got Aiden Hutchinson and it was clear last year that this guy was ready to take a step into the next tier to become one of the better pass rushers and the thing in the NFL it's such a pass Happy League and the attrition of just offensive lineman you saw tonight the Rams felt like they were missing their entire offensive line they're moving guys left and right that the majority of guys even when they're starters are not pan Su or Trent Williams they're going to be relatively you know close to replaceable or a team would be open to replacing and then when you get backups in there are just major question marks and he was eating those guys alive and I'll never forget I was in an office one time in the late Howard mud rip who many consider one of the greatest offensive line coaches of all time me and another scouting buddy we would just go into some of the old assistant coaches especially like free agency or the draft and kind of pick their brain and I remember dropping like either me or my buddy was like y he doesn't have the feet to play left tackle think he's more of a right tackle and he stopped he's like what did you just say that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard he's like when I was with pton Manning in Indianapolis we had Robert matthysse on one side and Dwight freedy on the other side and any good pass rusher worth their salt can play on either side and when you watch the NFL now even teams that don't have too good pass rushers the moment they find your weakness they'll move the guy over there we saw it on Thursday night with Chris Jones he was just finding the weak link and he would just move over the guy whether he was a guard whether it was the right or left tackle it didn't matter and you saw Aiden Hutson tonight moving around you see Michael Parsons do it all the time and greatness when you're able to move all around the line of scrimmage and you have Elite Talent his motor is awesome like he's a guy headed toward stardom now if Jared gof turns the ball over anything's possible and tonight he he puts some balls in iffy spots but to me the completion of their offense and they've had the same offensive coordinator now for going on three years he seems to not want a head coaching job he kind of just looks like an offensive coordinator when I saw Ben Johnson I'm like you should just stay as the Lions offensive coordinator make like $5 million a year and just run this out for a little bit but that offense is unreal and if their defense is solid they're they're going to be a problem the thing I respect expect most about the Rams in any good team now that I do this like I I don't have the two deeps memorized especially practice squad guys so as the course of an NFL season will go like any fan you'll be like who the hell is that guy where did that guy come from who's that obviously I know a majority of guys in the NFL but the thing about football unlike basketball there are a lot of guys on these teams that played for random colleges that you've never heard of that were an undrafted free agent that spent two years on the practice squad and to play on a good team to play for the Ravens to play for Andy Reid to play for Kyle Shanahan to play for these good teams obviously as a starter you have to be good but to stick around and to handle training camp handle the offseason to handle the intensity of practice during the year you got to be a serious cat you got to be kind of Allin you you got to conform and you got to be one of their guys it's why when you see the Rams have a million injuries you're like are they going to get blown out it's 17 to3 all of a sudden you know three or four guys are going to the tent going to the back puka is hurt like how are they going to overcome this obviously Stafford you know turned into a Hall of Fame version of himself and was awesome and Cooper cup looked like Chris Carter on the sideline but to me that's culture is you can impl you can Implement and put in guys in an enormous spot on the road against one of the best teams in the league and go toe-to-toe with them now eventually they ran out of gas I mean that defense was just was shot if it was a video game one to 100 you know they would have been like close to zero I mean they were running on fume so I don't blame him for getting smoked on that last drive but the second half playing with a bunch of random guys they came to play because they're ready to play because the only way you play in that operation is be a ready to playay type guy take your seriously Monday through Saturday when no one's watching when the majority of your snaps for portions of your career are on Scout team and the only reps you might get are in like individual situations with the starters once you split up in practice you go to the other side and you service the other team but do you take that really seriously the reason the 49ers loved prie before he even started because the Defenders were all like God this guy's this guy's awesome on the scout team how serious he takes it how good he is against us how hard he is to defend like they really respected him and that happens on good teams you earn the respect that way and that's how you improve so when your number is called when this guy gets hurt or that guy gets hurt one you know what you're doing right it's not easy to play in the NFL schematically especially for guys like Shawn McVey it's very complex so you got to know the Playbook but too like it's not too big of a moment like you have prepared and I saw the Rams full of dudes that like that's a really really impressive thing they got going and I'm really glad that Shawn McVey a couple years ago turned down whatever it was 15 plus million dollars a year to go work at Amazon uh when he was kind of quote unquote burned out because he's a big addition to the league like that's just he's a good coach and obviously and I think we compare him and I'm guilty of this is like he's synonymous with Kyle Shanahan it's like well he's a Shanahan guy because he works for the shanahans right he he worked for Mike and Kyle and then they all have the same guys that work under him the floor Brothers like they're all kind of interconnected he's actually much more like Andy Reid Kyle in that situation with all the injuries to the offensive line would even with Stafford would have ran it at a much higher clip cuz at Kyle's core he wants to run the ball because that's what he's learned from his dad run run run and then set up the pass off that that's not really who Shawn is Shawn like Andy wants to pass no matter what and there are points in the game when they were down it's like God Sean run the ball a little bit more but he can't help it now he got I got Matt Stafford who's probably going to be the best quarterback that I ever coach and Cooper Cup's healthy and Stafford will just figure it out even if he has to scramble and move around to save his life because he did several times but Shawn McVey at his core is kind of proven and he proved this last year he wants to pass and where he has a common with both guys because whether you're a run first guy or a pass first guy do you put a premium on physical practices and physical defenses cuz the only way you get better and More Physical on defense is by practicing hard and clearly the Rams now we have a sample size whether Aaron Donald is there or not and they showed him last night at the USC game guy looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger it's like I get he made enough money he' accomplished a lot but that there is no doubt in my mind that if he just showed up to practice uh Monday or Tuesday and played this Sunday he would get a sack he looks fantastic but you remove him and like their physicality didn't skip a beat Ernest Jones wants more money see you later we'll go with we got some undrafted free agents that are coming up to on the squad we'll just move on but hukaa like we'll see what his injury is he had four catches before he got ruled out like if he can't go for a while that's a pretty big blow he wasn't just like a revelation last year like oh look at this rookie re he got 105 balls he was one of the better wide receivers in the NFL now part of doing that Cooper cup was banged up in a shell of himself and he looked fantastic tonight but if I gave you healthy puka and healthy Cooper even with this banged up offensive line and the way Stafford's playing you got major problems as defense I don't care who you are and Stafford was kicking himself he had a chance to get a big third down there late in the game and he kind of overthrew him as he's in a lot of pressure because when you're going to pass it all the time and you got a bunch of backups in against Aiden Hutchinson who's going to be easily a100 million guaranteed pass rusher it's hard but I I think at his core it's pretty clear like he wants to pass he wants to pass he wants to pass maybe Ben Johnson wanted to run in that final uh final drive in overtime but I will guarantee you this Dan Campbell was in the headset run the ball run it down their throat and then the moment it works for a couple runs run it again again again was it her Brooks line in Miracle again I mean that's kind of what he was doing and I I don't know if McVey would have done that you know not because he's anti successful plays but you have a core philosophical belief as a coach and it's kind of clear when you watch these two guys both of them like physical plays it's why I I gravitate towards certain type of coaches why like the Harbaugh brothers tomlin's got his flaws but I I love the way that he thinks about football like Cliff Kingsbury's never really been my style I'm not into that type that that style of football isn't for me I like more old school football now you can have a new school uh flavor on it and like Andy would throw at every single play but you better believe that his defense that he is going to build in draft four is going to be to inflict pain on you on a on a per snap basis you I I thought the Rams brought it today it was it was really impressive what what a fantastic game fantastic night for the NFL kind of a weird day uh not some I wouldn't say great matchups today but the Prime Time games the NFL has come through uh obviously the Thursday and Friday night games those two brands or I guess those four Brands those games were really entertaining and then tonight was awesome and hopefully Monday night lives up to the hype touchdowns py huie taking it to the house in for six I like to call it a

thought he was pretty bad wasn't trying to over one game it's not the end of the world but the one thing and I I've been texting with a lot of friends uh watching Sunday Night Football I do wonder what Tom's pitch is going to be because I I thought about it like who are the greatest announcers of my life well John Madden by a country mile is is the most popular uh the most famous and easily the best and then I think in terms of recent memory the highest compensated and just the most entertaining people nitpick them all the time but we're Gruden and Barkley I think and I was really hard when they hired Drew Brees I'm like this is boring I remember Matt Ryan doing games last year I'm like this doesn't work these guys were great football players Matt Ryan won an MVP Drew Brees is a first ballot Hall of Famer shattered some records was awesome for like 15 years but being good at that does not make you entertaining and the one thing I hoped because Tom was such a good teammate he's such a guy's guy I do think it's difficult for that to come out when you're not used to it like talking on a mic and being entertaining whether you're calling a game whether you're a radio host whether you're a talk show host whether you're a podcaster is not easy it's why a tiny percent of people that do it are successful in terms of make money and get people to watch it's hard I I can count on like two hands the people that I think are really entertaining either on TV or Radio podcast it's it's difficult to do so the more I thought about Tom Brady of course he was kind of bad today like it's just he's never done this he has done these trial runs when no one is watching and the game has already been played who car that's that's impossible the only way to get better at anything is why I've always been a huge believer of playing young players is through experience now the hard part is as a player or like a manual worker or something like you can just kind of just keep doing it and physically go at it this is not one of those things like Tom the overall percentage of people that watch football is large right relative to all other television shows it's Millions upon millions of people I saw like 30 million people watch Thursday Night Football I'd imagine tonight the number is very similar you have a lot of people watching and you watch Collinsworth and I bet if I got on Twitter Reddit or something you'd see opinions all over the place he's just loose and he's fun and he talks a little bit in football lingo but there's a reason that the X's and O's shows have never had any success on television in podcasts even on the blogs because that stuff's boring for anyone who is not a die die die hard football guy and unless you're truly doing it for a living it's like it it's not going to resonate so what resonates with people is much more surface level with entertainment value mixed in and I think the hard part for Tom over this next season is like how can you just loosen up how can you just kind of be a little bit more relatable and then it kind of hit me I do think it's going to be difficult for a guy who is as rich and famous as Tom Brady to be relatable in that setting even if he could have a beer with me or you and be relatable because I bet he could I bet Tom Brady could come over to my house sit in the backyard have a beer and we could have a pretty easy conversation but I think in that spot when he's feeling the pressure and he hasn't had a job like this with this many people watching beside being a player when he's best been less prepared I mean when he was playing for the Tampa Bucks he had 20 plus years of playing being coached by bich being coached by guys like Charlie Weiss Josh McDaniels Bill O'Brien playing in the biggest games he'd seen it all and now like Kevin Burkhart who's the ultimate Pro who's been doing it forever is like really smooth he's fantastic at his job Tom raldi I mean nobody is better at his job than Tom but that's all these guys have done and then you put Tom in there and all he has going for him right now is he's Tom Brady he's really famous but you're watching him you're like where what's this what's going on and I I do defend him like I it would be a tough situation to be thrown into and nobody I I don't care how rich you are unless you're like Jeff Bezos is turning down almost $400 million to call football games but I I don't know what his pitch is whether you like Tony Romo or not and listen I've been up in you know warm and cold on the guy he has a pitch he's really fun he's really energetic Chris Collins orth somewhat similar he's kind of the Old Uncle who's just like God this guy's just having a good time watching ball Aman kind of like an old school red ass he will light people up Tom was lighting nobody up today I mean DeShaun Watson is an embarrassment an an absolute embarrassment for the NFL think about it he got one of the most historic trades we've ever seen in terms of draft compensation he got the biggest contract in the history of the league and he's a bottom five starter in the NFL like it's a it's a joke and everyone there is not a football fan today who was watching that game that wasn't texting with someone being like what is this and Tom and Tom was like yeah he just needs to work a little bit more he just needs to get a feel as a group like no this guy blows 30 million people on their couches are literally all saying it maybe there's a few it's like well he's got some backup offensive lineman he's being paid $60 million a year to run around if he's getting chased he can't even do that anymore and it's like you gotta be able to say something if you're not gonna be the fun guy right you're not gonna be Collinsworth like oh Mike you know je Gibbs you gotta be a Aman would have taken a blowtorch right there so you got to be one or the other and it feels like I I don't know if Tom well I know he doesn't know because he doesn't have a style yet but he he was just styl was there there was nothing it'd be like a pitcher just what do you want to throw it's like I don't know well you got a fast ball you got a change up you got a curveball like what's your we got two- strike count here we need to get an out what's your go-to pitch I don't really have one I just kind of I don't know it's a problem and it's it's gonna be a little bumpier than even I thought like I I like Tom uh I I told Colin I admire the guy he his just his life story the late round pick how hard he works how much people like him but now he's like he's an Entertainer for me he's calling one of the biggest games of the week every single Sunday and it was atrocious it really was and he couldn't have a better crew like it's like could there be easier people to work with than Tom raldi and Kevin Burkhart it doesn't get any easier and he was bad and I think sometimes I hate it when like everyone's saying something but I think this is going to be one of those where universally like everyone's in agreement like that was a rough watch uh one thing Steelers defense exposed the Falcolns that was not a rough watch is the Steelers defense and that unit today was gave the Atlanta Falcons a physical Beatdown and this was the same team they told Bill bich they weren't interested they drafted a quarterback with the number eth overall pick when they had just given cousins $100 million and I said at the moment they did this and I like Mike Penn or Michael penck more than most I think he's a pro ready plug-and-play guy is I I think we looked at the cousins as like you were signing pton Manning or Tom Brady like when Denver and Tampa signed those two guys it's like this guy who had turned into a good player who years ago and probably for like a five game stretch last year before he tore his Achilles but for most of his career I would say no one was just more polarizing because he was making a lot of money and people just like is he any good we know he's not bad but like is this guy a top 10 guy and he'd have moments where he clearly was but his Equity was always floating somewhere like 12 to 16 and then he goes to this brand new team it's like this guy's the Savior and then the Steelers and TJ watt today were working him destroying then he's throwing interceptions his his last pick toward the end of the game was just low-level bad I mean bad quarterback play and you wonder when a guy has no equity and is getting worked by a team that listen I was guilty of I thought was going to stink and maybe they don't because the culture of Mike Tom is like yeah we'll just win every game 18 to 15 18 to 10 17 to 13 we have no problem playing like that and if they stay healthy on defense they probably can and they worked Atlanta in the second half with Justin Fields who is like much more of a runner than a passer though he made some good passes today and I I do Wonder Atlanta who carried them eles like we know what we're doing Raheem Morris said like they were they asked them why is your staff so big because they have one of the biggest if not the biggest staff in the league he said because we plan on winning and when we lose coaches we will have reinforcements already here so we don't need to unborn on board new guys I I like guys that believe in themselves that seems like a pretty crazy thing to say that seems like a you're not taking over the momes Chiefs here you're taking over a team that's won 21 games in the last three years and all we've heard about was how great their skill guys are and then you're like well is bejon some All-Star Kyle Pitts is already banged up is he maybe one of the most overrated draft picks of all time and we just got that one wrong so maybe their talent is a tad bit overrated the other thing is Raheem well he was an excellent defensive coordinator for the Rams I would say for Shawn McVey tenure all their defensive coordinators been good Brandon haly was good for them schula mcvey's buddy from college looks sweet Wade Phillips was awesome maybe they just draft and develop good defensive players under McVey so to just assume this guy's going to be a good head coach how can we do that and now they're already kind of backs up against the wall some negativity on cousins it just gets weird fast and on the Steelers side obviously Russell's calf is banged up I guess I saw someone on the internet say that he actually heard it couple days before training camp pushing a sled or something just Russell working out 24/7 365 if he does get healthy this week under no circumstances can you not just keep rolling out Justin Fields does he have some flaws yes but the talent in there and his ability to run for a team that just is going to be offensively limited sometimes on the outside beside George Pickins to me he has to play and if I was a Steeler fan until he either gets injured injured or has like multiple three or four pick games and we lose I'm rolling with this guy I'm rolling with the young guy I do not want to see Russell Wilson Dink and duck funny I was at the gym early this morning and when I got back right at like 10 o'clock as the games were kicking off I didn't see that like and I tried to look it up on the internet I couldn't quite find it if Russell was the third quarterback because he technically wasn't active so I I don't know if he technically could have played or they it basically ruled him out he was in shoulder pads so if he was truly inactive and couldn't play and wor shoulder pads kind of a geeky dorky move that is the reason no one takes him seriously what's going on I was just about to podcast but you know what I usually do before I podcast my friends at Via viah hemp.com sent me these THC Free Flow State

who sent you three andout podcast so prioritize your recovery enhance your everyday life like I have with via want to do a little overrated underrated obviously Atlanta I mean we just hit on I never bought into Overrated/Underrated it I I I just refuse to buy into it and I feel more validated today uh the high on this team talking about like they were just going to win 12 games was crazy talk to me like cousins and Raheem Morris were Bill Walsh and Joe Montana I've been saying this for a while I understand they played the Panthers but I thought the saints were underrated their defense is good they have a really good defense part a huge part why they went nine and eight last year if you have a good defense in college or the NFL you are going to be competitive but Derek Carr gets to play in the Shanahan system now it is a very quarterback friendly offense it makes for easy throws when you're running the ball well which the Saints are going to be able to do no team has more money invested in their running back room than the Saints it's really easy to pass the ball and kubak whose dad played and coached for Mike Shanahan and then started Kyle's career I would say might as Well's last name be Shanahan knows this offense as well as anybody not named Gary kubak Mike Shanahan or Kyle Shanahan this is GNA work they're going to be dramatically better on offense everyone thought they were gonna suck like I I I just did not get it like Derek Carr has proven if you just give him solid coaching in a solid team like he can be competitive he can be K cousins but everyone act like Derek Carr was like DeShaun Watson or something and today I know he had a really good game but I just mean over the course of the Season even if they win similar game 910 like they can win the division uh the most overrated football team of the last 25 years consistently is Notre Dame football one of the best things on the internet yesterday was Thomas hammock the coach at NIU turns out he actually coached for the Ravens for a while former running back at NIU had bounced around a little bit and has been their head coach now for several years they got paid $1.4 million like a lot of these games right you get paid between 1.2 to $1.8 million to go play one of the big boys because the big boys view it as a lock win we get an easy 10 20o win give you a check win win he went in there and he won as a 30-point underdog and listen Notre Dame last week beat Tex A&M who had a quarterback Who could throw it about as well as me and then to lose this game Riley Leonard I read a great article on the athletic seems like a fantastic human being and he's obviously a good runner he couldn't throw he couldn't hit water if he was in a boat in the middle of the lake he's an awful thrower and Notre Dame is just always so overrated I mean that program the moment the Oregon game was on last night on peacock they're literally doing live Hard Knocks of not Dame people want to anoint them like I'll give the Cowboys credit like at least they win their division and beat good teams throughout the regular season Notre Dame last year lost to Marshall and now or two years ago and this year lose to NIU it's got to be one of the worst losses in the history of the program absolute embarrassment and no program they got to just be the most overrated they still talked about like it's Lou Holtz 1987 like no guys 2024 your skill guys are never good enough and maybe it's because the academic requirements they can't get in the guys of school like Ohio State or LSU or Alabama or whatever regardless you don't have them and they do and to play NIU who I guarantee if you had to do one through 50 an NFL GM on The rosters there wouldn't be ni many NIU players picked so just a horrendous loss this guy was rated the most overrated player player in the NFL by players might be one of the most egregious things in the history of the league Tyreek Hill being number one overall in the players vote a little crazy just because like how is Patrick Mahomes but I think all of us would agree Tyreek got a little Scotty Sheffer treatment today I didn't know Tyreek who I think I've seen on a podcast said that he wanted to be a porn star when he was done playing I think he has like 12 kids he literally said that he also wants to be a cop and I think he he said when he was getting arrested he was telling the cop like I want to be a cop which can you imagine Tyreek Hill when he becomes a cop and someone tries to run away he's like hey I'll give you like a 10-minute Head Start just just take off down the road you're screwed I'm Gonna Get You pretty quick he'd be a fast cop but I get it t Tyreek to me is one of the best players of his generation one of the greatest players I've ever seen but people saying Josh Allen is overrated are you guys on drugs are we watching the same stuff like are are are we Josh Allen on the bills is there another Josh Allen another team is Josh Allen the guy play does he play for the Panthers or something because the Dude on the bills is one of the best players I've ever seen easily he's definitely one of the more physically talented players I've ever seen and he wins and he produces every single year today they're getting their ass kicked by the by the Cardinals who were just a tough team to play week one because of Kyler it was like yeah I'll just figure out a way I'll score four touchdowns break my hand tweak my hand whatever wrap that up I'm ready to roll what are we talking about Josh or Lamar Jackson has so many Defenders every corner the internet every podcast every everyone's defending Lamar which I get I root for the guy too I I want him to get better but he's a very flawed player for being a great player a huge reason for his greatness he's arguably the greatest Runner we've ever seen at the position but as a thrower he's very hit or miss Josh is an infinitely better thrower and while he's not as fast as Lamar he's got some Cam Newton to his running game running guys over running over guys an incredible Red Zone runner in terms of quarterback sweeps overrated it's laughable uh overrated I I had a little money on this game and it was tough I'm not going to lie when Tyreek got arrested I don't I don't root for any of this stuff but when you do have money on uh a team like I did with the Jags and you see the best player on the other team get arrested my first thought was God they're going to win he's not GNA play today and then obviously cuffs off he's playing and by middle of the game he's hitting like a 70 yard bomb over the middle I'm like Doug Peterson today and I I still Qui is Doug Peterson calling the plays is press Taylor calling the plays they were were dominating that game and in the second half from their own 30 he went for it on fourth down now Miami ended up missing the field goal but the play call to do that I'm all for being aggressive I'm a pro aggressive guy not Brandon stale aggressive but there are points in time go for it totally get it I can't get behind and understand the logic I don't give a how many Harvard and MIT graduates that are handing EXL spreadsheets that tell you to do stuff like that if you don't get it they have two incredible offensive weapons in Wad and Hill you're giving them the ball with 30 yards to score a touchdown 30 yards that that that's Insanity he missed the field goal ultimately whatever it didn't cost him points they ended up losing the game but that that's a game that I I don't know how Doug sleeps well at night you cannot lose that game you're you're killing them and they got their offense just became putrid in the second they couldn't move the ball they have they have too many offensive weapons you're paying your quarterback $200 million guaranteed how can you not throw for 200 yards on the Miami Dolphins and last underrated honestly didn't know much about this guy uh until last week when he scored six touchdowns well last night uh Oregon Boise State was an in incredible night game it was on peacock they had like their C team there kept blacking out not an easy watch by any means and I'm not anti peacock I pay for it uh but the peacock game Thursday night or Friday night Eagles Eagle who they play Oh Eagles Packers I was wrong on Jordan love thought he rolled his ankle T his MCL or MCL spraining or whatever he's out three to six so take the L on that maybe I'm not a good uh television doctor but the peacock broadcast Oregon Boise State who I had a little money on Oregon because I thought they would oh Boise State great program has never lost to Oregon but like Oregon just got embarrassed against Idaho I thought they would kill him all of a sudden Oregon's losing and Boise State's running back last year uh his name is Ashton jenty ran for about 1350 yards six yards per carry 14 touchdowns caught another 43 balls and five touchdowns some scouting buddies like I really like the guy last week he almost ran for 300 yards and six touchdowns but it was against Georgia's Southern against Oregon he had 25 carries 192 yards and three touchdowns I'm texting around I'm like is this guy going in the first round and I had a buddy say well he's probably closer to 5'6 than 58 he's really small so he's not a first-rounder but he is easily one of the best players in the country so I Googled Darren sprouls who when he played for Kansas state was also one of the best players in the country but he was Tiny he went in the and this guy is physical Runner he's fast he can go outside and he obviously can catch the ball I'm not saying he's exactly Darren sprouls but I think there are some parallels really small guy Darren sprouls went in the fourth round I looked yesterday Darren sprouls played 14 years in the NFL not saying Darren sprouls should have gone in the top 10 but I promise you this he probably should have been draft in the second round and that's where this guy's going to go so if you get a chance boy States on watch their running back cuz Ashton Genty and I've watched a lot of football these first couple weeks I'm not saying he's going to get drafted the highest but there can't be 10 better college players right now that uh that play on Saturdays than that guy so Props to him he's got nine touchdowns he has nine touch they played eight quarters of football he has nine touchdowns just an incredible effort so far it's September it was September 7th it was September 7th and he finished with nine touchdowns so maybe he can get to 30 e
