Detailed Breakdown

1. NFL Christmas Game Previews & Predictions

(03:00 - 14:25)

• Middlekauff bemoans the Christmas slate as "terrible and meaningless," choosing family time over forced football work.
• Dallas at Washington:
  • Cowboys predicted to roll easily because Washington’s “secondary is so bad.”
  • “Dak’s been one of the better quarterbacks in the league all season long… I love the Cowboys -7 on the road on Christmas.” (05:23)
  • Touchdown prop picks: CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
  • Side note: Laughs about backup QB Josh Johnson's journeyman Wikipedia page.
• Detroit at Minnesota:
  • Vikings' QB woes are the main story, JJ McCarthy’s recurring injuries, and a cascade of issues.
  • “It’s just a season from hell... The Lions, again, prideful organization, disastrous season relative to what they’ve been.” (07:30)
  • Detroit predicted to win and cover.
• Chiefs at Broncos:
  • Both teams have collapsed; lots of questions about the Chiefs’ offseason future.
  • “The Chiefs are out. Who, whoever would have thought that. But here, here we are.” (09:30)
  • Strong pick for Denver to win big, noting the sorry state of KC’s offense.
• Brief touch on Texans-Chargers and Packers-Ravens:
  • Texans “with a spirited effort,” and Green Bay “rolls” over the unraveling Ravens.
  • “I don’t like Green Bay minus two and a half. I love Green Bay minus two and a half. I would expect them to win by 10+.” (13:52)

---

2. Quarterback Evolution & Nostalgia: Rivers, Elway, and the Safety Era

(17:41 - 21:18)

• Post-game adrenaline stories segue into thoughts about QB eras.
• “You can’t compare what John Elway, Dan Marino, Joe Montana… to quarterback play now. If you watch those videos of John Elway in the mid-80s, you could get fucking killed.” (17:55)
• Describes how rules now protect QBs, likening today’s game to “apples to cheeseburgers” in terms of violence.
• Wonders aloud: “Is Philip Rivers better than Daniel Jones? Especially with an offseason to train?” (19:03)
• Notes the freedom and safety for QBs in today’s league compared to prior generations.

3. Mailbag Highlights: Bears, Ravens, Quarterback Contracts, and Coaching Decisions

(21:18 - 37:10)

Bears: Are They Actually Good?

• Fan question: Are the Bears for real or just lucky?
• “I 100% commend them for being so much better than anyone could have anticipated. But…that defense is atrocious… sometimes you’re just touched by the football gods.” (22:03)
• Acknowledges their “kind of special” season but is hesitant to call them contenders – they could win multiple playoff games or be bounced immediately.
• Highlights upcoming scheduling advantages vs. the 49ers.

Ravens: Who's to Blame?

• Fan question: Is John Harbaugh responsible for Baltimore’s constant blown leads?
• “What we did Sunday night was coaching malpractice at an all time high.” (25:47)
• Points out Harbaugh’s “CEO head coach” detachment and notes, “I think Harbaugh is a live dog to get canned…maybe it’s time.” (26:45)
• Predicts Harbaugh would immediately land another head coaching gig if fired.

Quarterback Contracts: Daniel Jones & Philip Rivers

• “How do you pay Daniel Jones?...He’s never, beside like the eight-game stretch, for you guys been that great...If I get him for like two years, $20 million...Philip Rivers on his best day has never been close to Philip Rivers.” (27:40)
• Calls Rivers “not quite Hall of Fame” but better than Eli Manning “throughout the course of his career.” (28:23)

Draft Pedigree Debate: Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, Brock Purdy

• “At some point, resumes should matter more than draft profile...Caleb Williams is extremely polarizing...But he’s been the most clutch guy in the league.” (29:50)
• Lists pros and cons of each, maintaining that all three QBs, despite similar age and experience, are judged unfairly.

Vikings’ “What If” Scenarios

• Questions about trading for Joe Burrow: “They’re not trading him...he’s going to be on the Bengals next year.” (31:08)
• Laments Vikings’ injury woes and proximity to being a top seed last year.

Bills: Is It Time for a Coaching Overhaul?

• Middlekauff counters the idea of firing McDermott to hire Robert Saleh as “kind of a tough sell.”
• “The thing you really notice…they’re kind of small…more built for Big 12 than SEC.” (38:00)
• Assigns more blame to the GM than the head coach.

4. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On how quickly things can change in the NFL:
  “Sometimes, you know, this is sports. People get injured. Things change fast, especially in the NFL.” (09:02)
• On violence and football’s appeal:
  “Humans like violence… it’s why these fights on Netflix with Jake Paul do huge numbers... we like violence.” (20:10)
• On John Harbaugh’s future:
  “I think Harbaugh is a live dog to get canned...been there, done that. Maybe it’s time.” (26:45)
• On the randomness and luck in the NFL:
  “Sometimes it's just your year, you know, weird things happen.” (22:35)

---

5. Rapid Fire Q&A & Coach of the Year Talk

(37:10 - 47:10)

• Lions O-line and D-line Rebuild?
  Tough to rebuild OL/DL with so much cap invested in Goff, Sewell, St. Brown, and soon Hutchinson & Williams. “You guys are playing important games. It's tough and it's hard to find defensive linemen.”
• Coach of the Year Favorites:
  “I feel like it’s Ben Johnson’s to lose…Vrabel’s done an excellent job, but a huge part of their success has been Drake May.” (43:15)
• 49ers Super Bowl Path:
  If they win their next two, “I don’t see how you could say they couldn’t win the Super Bowl or definitely the NFC.” (45:55)
• Branding: The backwards hat on Spotify:
  “I’m bald…I can do whatever I want. So the rules for me...are a little bit different than some guy running a bank.” (46:55)
  (A light-hearted close to a serious football mailbag.)

What is going on, everybody? John Midkoff three and Out Podcast Brought to you by my friends at Zone Pouches want to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Hopefully you have a great week with family, friends, loved ones and enjoy yourself. We will not have any podcast or reaction on Christmas mainly because the games are so terrible and mean nothing. So did not see this coming maybe a couple months ago, but I said let's, let's enjoy ourselves, spend some time with family and not work Christmas night for for who? For what? As my guy Ricky Waters would say, that will be the tentative game plan. We will Saturday night I'll have we'll do it live on YouTube and there'll be a podcast for Sunday reacting to the Chargers play the Texans and the Ravens play the packers in a couple massive games. So we will be, we will get back on the saddle for those two. I think, I think I have some function with my wife on Saturday morning and then we'll just be watching football the rest of the day. So excited for that. And then Sunday will be normal, Monday will be normal. Just be back rocking and rolling again. And then we got college football playoff games next week. So we got a lot going on. Obviously we had podcasts on the Big Niner game beating Philip Rivers and a lot of content this week, but this will be the last thing for the next couple days. So hopefully everyone is enjoying their time and you guys know the drill. Subscribe to the podcast, subscribe to the YouTube channel so you never miss a thing. But today will just be a mailbag At John Middlekopf. At John Middlekopf. Is the Instagram fire in those DMs. Get your questions answered here on the show. Again, just my Instagrams or my Instagram two Fs. I don't have a burner, but fire in those DMs. Get your questions answered on the show. That is what we're going to do. So before we do, I do just want to hit on the three games. I mean Dallas playing, I guess Josh Johnson with Dallas, nothing to play for. Obviously Washington is in complete shambles. Not going to lie. I think Brian Schadenheimer, you know, I want Dax been one of the better quarterbacks in the league all season long. You know, you could make an argument start to finish. He's been a top five quarterback in the NFL this year. I think you could make a pretty consistent argument with that. And I just think he's, he's going to play well in this game. Their team on Washington, the secondary is so bad. So I love the Cowboys, which is crazy to say minus seven on the road on Christmas depending on where you live morning for Me, it's, you know, 11:00am Mountain Time, but I. Anytime. Touchdown. Props for CD Lamb. For George Pickens. I mean George Pickens. Now it's like if I'm his agent, hey, man, we want to finish strong. We want negotiating power. Whether it's Jerry, whether it's franchise tag and trade, whether it's a big contract. We've had a good season. We got a little weird there for a second. But you know, you saw them last week. They look good in that first half against the charges. Kind of ran out of juice. Obviously their defense isn't good. But what's Josh Johnson going to do? Go to Josh Johnson's Wikipedia page. It's crazy thing you'll ever see. He's played in like three different leagues. The xfl, I guess it wasn't the XFL at the time, it was some other league. He was on the Sacramento Mountain Lions. Played in the ufl. Pretty sure he played in the afl. Obviously he's played in the NFL. My man loves some football and likes a paycheck. Don't blame him. So I like the Cowboys -7 this game. Detroit at Minnesota. Let's face it, Minnesota's got a quarterback problem. While JJ started showing signs of life. He's injured again. And even the season when he came into it healthy, he has just missed basically the half the games. And these are major, from concussions to we had the hamstring, now he, you know, or I guess the ankle. I guess it was earlier in the season that kind of came out of nowhere. Concussion, that kind of came out of nowhere which can happen now. He breaks his hand. Just a disaster. So I think the Lions, again, prideful organization, disastrous season relative to what they've been. I just think they are going to in the dome, you know, Jared Goff played well against the Minnesota Vikings. I'm going to take them laying the points, seven and a half. Amon Ross, St. Brown, I would imagine is going to have a big game. Jameson Williams, like, it wouldn't shock me at all if those guys kind of go off. I think Minnesota at this point in time, it's pretty crazy that they're 7 and 8. I looked within the last 24 hours like they're 7 and 8. What. How did, how did that happen? And the reality is they've played the Giants, the commanders and the Giants, the commanders and the Cowboys the last three weeks. So they. That they've kind of, you know, gotten their mojo back with that the night game. I think at this point in time, you know, they just got Worked by the Tennessee Titans. It's just a season from hell. And once you get to this point in their situation, with the uncertainty this off season with. Are they going to trade Chris Jones? Is Travis Kelce going to retire? Patrick's health status, like, how quickly can he come come back? Even if he rehabs perfectly from this injury, is he ready week one? Is it more of a mid season thing? Like they're much better losing these next two games and they might not even, they're not gonna even have to try to lose this game. There is no way that this guy. Again, I'm not saying this to be a dick. No one could point this guy out of a lineup. No one knew beside his family and his friends that he was in the NFL. I can't even pronounce his name. He has no shot on God's green earth to. You know, Trevor Lawrence just annihilated Denver. So they're coming off a loss. I think you're going to get a spirited effort. This to me has like 20 to 3 written all over it. Again, the Titans just rolled the Chiefs and I think at this point in time, you lose this game, then you ruin. Especially if the Raiders lose the Giants. I think if you're Andy Reid, you ruin the Raider season and you lose to them and you derail their opportunity to get Fernando Mendoza. Unless they want to trade a bunch of picks, which also kind of screws them. And if I'm a Raider fan, I swear to God, if we lose this week to the Giants and Pete Carroll wins that last game to the Chiefs, it'll be hard to ever shake. I mean, once upon a time, Brian Flores, who is a really good coach, I mean, the stuff that happened in Miami was like, bro, you beat Cincinnati in an overtime game and it cost you Joe Burrow and you ended up with Tua Tonga by Loa, who you personally hated. And clearly the organization no longer likes either, who got really rich on Steven Ross's dime. But I like Denver big in this game. Wouldn't shock me at all if Sutton has a touchdown. So I'm going to. It's a lot of points. If you would have told someone like two months ago that Denver is going to be favored by two touchdowns, essentially going into this game, you're like, what? It sucks. Like, Netflix spent a lot of money. These games on paper look pretty good. I mean, you could throw the Cowboys against, you know, a peewee team and people are going to watch the Vikings and the Lions. Those teams had 14 wins each going into the last Game of the season last year. I mean they played a winner get in or a winner gets the number one seed. I mean that was, I would have picked that game too. And the Chiefs have been the biggest brand in the league for the last five, six years. And Denver made the playoffs last year. It was clear they were going to be good again. And just sometimes, you know, this is sports. People get injured. Things change fast, especially in the NFL. Right. I mean every year you hear those numbers like four or five teams missed the playoffs that made it the previous year. Like no, that can't be. Well, it's going to happen this year. Lions out, you know, 49ers missed last year. They're in. Obviously teams like the Jags, you know, are in. So yeah, it's just crazy times. That's for. The Chiefs are out. Who, whoever would have thought that. But here, here we are. And then really quick on the Saturday matchups, I like the Texans getting two and a half points at the Chargers one. I think they got a little wake up call against the Raiders. Now part of it is Genti had, you could argue his best game as a Pro, had the 60 yard catch, had the other big run. I just think that they're going to come with a spirited effort. The other thing is like their defensive line. What Herbert has done even against the Cowboys was pretty impressive and he looks fantastic. The eye test like damn. But that pass rush, I do think it could be a rough day for Herbert, especially indoors fast turf. I like the Texans. Now the, the quarterback situation on this night game is up in the air. I mean it easily could be Tyler Huntley versus Malik Willis. I like the packers in this game one. I mean they, they were one eyes like just staying down on the ball, him catching the onside kick from them winning that game. And I think we would discuss them a lot differently coming to this week. They obviously unraveled at the end giving up the two touchdowns 14 points in the blink of an eye. But I, I do think you're going to get a spirited effort and let's face it, the Ravens are done. You know the Steelers are not going to lose even without DK Mech after the Cleveland Browns, they just lost, you could argue their best offensive player in, in the running back junkins. So I, I think the Ravens are circling the drain. I think this Harbaugh thing is going to get louder and louder. I would expect. I, I, I think the packers roll. So I, I don't like Green Bay minus two and a half. I love Green Bay minus two and a half. I would expect them to win 10 plus points in this game to be honest with you. So Christmas not great. Enjoy your family, enjoy some sea tails and just have a good time. Hopefully you got some loved ones, some presents and you can see some joy in their eyes and then we'll get back on the saddle on Saturday night.

[John Middlekauff]

Dive into the mailbag. One thing I was thinking, sometimes after I do like a, you know, when I react on Thursday nights, Sunday nights, Monday nights, it's hard for me to fall asleep. So by the time, like, on what day would that have been? Monday night, after the diner. Cold skin. By the time I get inside, brush my teeth, wash my face, kind of get ready for bed, it takes me an hour just to kind of calm down. So usually, you know, I get in there, a lot of times she's asleep, so I'll just throw on something, turn it down low. And I saw Elway. The documentary was on Netflix, right up my alley. Press play. And this in relation to Philip Rivers. You can't compare what John Elway, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, even guys through the 90s and the 2000s up until when the rules changed 10, 12 years ago to quarterback play. Now, if you watch those videos of John ELWAY in the mid-80s, you could get fucking killed. It was not a safe environment even if you were the best players. I mean, do you know how many times like Joe Montana would have serious back injuries because one of the guys on the Giants, I don't know, one of the great defenses of all time would like, break him in half. You're not even allowed to do that. So I was thinking, like Philip Rivers last night. One, could they bring Philip Rivers back? Like, is Philip Rivers better than Daniel Jones? Especially with an off season to train. And two, like, it'd be like taking a PGA Tour golfer and letting him play the ladies tees. Philip Rivers played in a, in an era, and he's played in both eras. But like, for the first 10 years of his career, you could kill Philip Rivers. Part of the reason he got a shot, right, is because Drew Brees got injured because John Lynch. I would imagine if we go back and look at the hit was pretty violent, one that would be flagged now. I mean, hell, there was a guy on the Chargers thrown out of a game a couple weeks ago. It just looked like a normal hit. And listen, I understand why they did it. They didn't want to get sued. But the quarterback playing now is way easier because, you know, you're pretty safe. You know, they're not going to, they're not even allowed to drive you into the ground. They get Penalized. So I do wonder for Philip Rivers if there's a freedom. Clearly, his knowledge and understanding of the offense is pretty unique. It's like, these guys aren't going to hit me now. I get the 49ers aren't the most ferocious defense, but just weekend we, even last week against Seattle, it's like, yeah, they kind of hit me. What are they really going to do? Like, pick me up and slam me to the ground? I know they can't do that. So there has to be a little bit of a freedom of, like, one, the league is smaller now, especially with linebackers. So if I'm Philip, I'm bigger than these guys. And two, like, they're. I feel pretty safe. Like, yeah, my adrenaline. I get my feet wet a little bit. But after a while watching that Elway documentary, you can't even compare what quarterbacks do now to, like, the guys in the 80s. I mean, you really can't. It's. It's. It's like apples to cheeseburgers in terms of the violence. Say the same for the wide receivers going over them. The word hospital ball doesn't even exist anymore because it. You can't even throw it because even if you do one, 90% of the time, the safety is very. Or the linebacker is very, very hesitant to leave his feet. And if you do, they immediately like, quadruple flag and like, toss that guy out of the league. So analysts. And I'm not one of those guys bitching and moaning. I mean, anyone my age grew up on the violence of football. I've never apologized for liking violence. And the reality is humans like violence. There's reasons when people fight in junior high and high school, everyone, you know, surrounds it. We're drawn to it. It's why these fights on Netflix with Jake, Paul and Joshua do huge numbers, right? It's why boxing and UFC have crushed historically with interest, because we like violence. And football, I'm not saying is not still violent. It is. But when it comes to the quarterback, they're kind of safe, you know, they're much safer than they were back in the day. Okay, let's. Let's bang out some mailbag questions. I want to know your opinion on the public perception of the Chicago Bears. I 100% commend them for being so much better than anyone could have anticipated. But I've seen a lot of the media calling the Bears a real live dog for winning the conference. I mean, that defense is atrocious, and I get that they take. Get takeaways. And Caleb in the offenses and the offense is very sneaky. The packers lost their starting quarterback, went over five in the red zone, including an awful fumble within the five and and still took a miraculous onside kick blunder to even send it to overtime. If the current seating holds and it's the packers at Chicago in the wild card, who would you favor? Assuming love is healthy, sometimes you're just touched by the football gods Washington was last year. They are the least talented team in terms of the roster that I think I can ever remember making it to a championship game. I mean think of some of the rosters recently that have been in the AFC and NFC championship game, right? The Chiefs, Josh Allen, some of the 49er teams, the Rams teams, the packers over the years just go back through the 2010s. Sometimes just your year, you know, it just weird things happen. So I'm with you. Like when you win a game, people forget that you were down 10 points with three minutes to go, right? Because you win in the miraculous form. But the whole point of the game is to win. So yeah, over, over the totality of several seasons, one score games and turnover. Luck like that bounces back and forth, right? But I do believe that there's something kind of special about this Bears season. I think I said or me and Colin talked about on Sunday is it wouldn't shock me if they won multiple playoff games and it wouldn't shock me if they got bounced in the first round. That's kind of like they play in a lot of crazy games and when you play in crazy games, sometimes the luck doesn't bounce your way. But I think we're going to learn a lot this week because they have a massive Advantage playing the 49ers. They have 50 plus hours of rest advantage and coaching advantage in terms of like they were in the office yesterday. On Monday they could prep. They're not super tired today. I mean I bet the 49ers touched down at like 3, 4am Think of their coaches just went right to the office, are getting ready for the Bears. So if they win this week, kind of is what it is. Now I'm with you. They play the packers in that first game, anything could happen. That is, that's box office that will. If it's Packers, Bears 2, 7 and let's say like Niners, Eagles 3, 6. I think you're looking at the Saturday night game and Monday night football game and I don't know who would go where but I think you're looking at two primetime games there and then probably the Bucks or the Panthers playing Seattle or the Rams if that's the way it shakes as like like an afternoon Sunday game or morning Sunday game I guess. Yeah if it was in Tampa they could play it at 10:00am Pacific Standard Time. What we did Sunday night was coaching malpractice and all at an all time high. Even when Lamar is out of the game you still take the ball out of your second best player on offense's hands. Literally help put up 11 and didn't touch the ball again in the fourth quarter when we were going to hold. When are we going to hold our head coach who doesn't call the offense, defense or the special teams accountable. Only thing he is good at is being dumbfounded to look on the sideline. Harbaugh isn't all of the Ravens fault they can't succeed but he is the main culprit. He is the reason why we have blown so many leads. I think 12 or 13 since 21 the most in a five year span in NFL history. It's a crazy stat. What are your thoughts on the debacle from Sunday? I think I saw Harbaugh said that obviously he regrets taking him out of the game. I, I think sometimes when you are the CEO head coach because I think it'd be easy like I don't run the rotations right. Did he get benched? Did they just go to the other rotation? I it was dumbfound, dumbfounding when we were sitting on our couch and watching it happen in real time. But like at the end of the day their defense gave up some big plays and Marlon Humphrey became a major target and they couldn't get stops when they need to get stops and Drake May dominated that game. So I think, I think Harbaugh we talk about live dogs in you know Alabama playing Indiana or the Bears is a live dog to win the nfc. I think Harbaugh is a live dog to get canned. Like we've it's kind of run its course time to make a pivot right. Like we've seen it, been there, done that. Maybe it's time now. You could easily justify it's one bad season. You guys have been good the last several years but you have stats like the blown leads. You start asking like what are you doing beside like rah rah speeches and using samurai swords in the middle of the the locker room which I don't think he's done lately. But listen I got nothing against John Harbaugh but let's be real like I do think you could Replace him or attempt to. And I think he'd immediately get another job. Like if John Harbaugh was fired, I think the Giants would hire him yesterday, right? I think the Giants would run, they would drive someone to Baltimore or to Pittsburgh to hire either one of those guys where I think both guys. And we'll see what happens with Pittsburgh these last two or potentially three or four weeks. You know, I think it's kind of run its course. It's hard. Like this isn't marriage, right? You're not supposed to be somewhere in 20, 25, 15 to 20 years ahead. Coach. It's very, very rare. And it's one thing like Andy's wonderful. Been to five of the last six Super Bowls, won three of them. Like that carries you a long time. When's the last time John's been a Super Bowl? 2012, 2025. Can you talk about the contract implications of Daniel Jones signing next year with the Colts? With Philip Rivers having an incredible rescue performances late this season, could Philip Rivers ruin Daniel Jones payday? I don't know how you pay Daniel Jones. This is the problem with everything they just did. He's not under contract and then he broke his leg and tore his Achilles and he's never beside like the eight game stretch for you guys been that great. So you're going to what? Last time he signed a contract, his agents dominated the Giants and basically got a two year, $80 million deal. So what's he going to do now? Sign like a two year, $10 million deal if I get him for like two year, $20 million. But I think his agents would refuse to sign that. But now you could also argue like where are you going to go? But you can't franchise, franchise tag. I haven't even looked at the franchise number, but my guess would be 40, 45 million dollars. You cannot do that. I mean, Philip Rivers better than him, but Philip Rivers is a better player. Of course he is. Daniel Jones on his best day has never been Philip even close to Philip Rivers. I mean, Philip Rivers, we can argue about it and to me he's probably not quite good enough to be in the hall of Fame, but he's right on that tier. Like he was a better player throughout the course of his career than Eli Manning. Eli Manning had the two better playoff runs.

[Colin Cowherd]

Right?

[John Middlekauff]

But I mean, this is who we're talking about here. And I don't know, I think the Colts are in a very, very weird spot. I. I really do. As you previously stated, Brock Purdy will always be a polarizing Player. But why do Bo Nix and Caleb get more credit? Purdy and Knicks are 25, Caleb is 24. At some point, resumes should matter more than draft profile. I like all three, but the sophomore players need to show more with their stacked rosters. I think they would fall into his category. I think Caleb Williams is extremely polarizing player. Bo Nix is even more polarizing than Caleb. I mean those guys would all fall under the bucket of very polarizing. I mean Caleb has games where he's just very inaccurate, right? I mean throwing like 50% in a league that is very, very easy to complete passes. I mean let's just face it like we talked about, it's never been easier to complete passes in the history of the league. And he can be inaccurate, but he also makes incredible plays and he's been the most clutch guy in the league. But I like if we just played, who would you trade who for? Like if the Bears called the Patriots, Caleb straight up for Drake May. I'll tell you who would hang up first and it wouldn't even be a question. Be Mike vrabel and Josh McDaniels. You know. And listen, I'm not trying to shit on Caleb at all. Like I've come around. You make big time. This is a bottom line league, right? Okay. You play shitty in the second quarter. Well, if you're making plays to win games, I can live with it. Over the course of your career, you're going to have to be better and more accurate. But like Cam wasn't the most accurate guy but he made some big time plays and he was a playmaker, right? And he was a guy that you know, had some very successful seasons, won an mvp. I would say a shittier version of that was like desean Watson was more of a playmaker well before he got to the Houston Texans. But he wasn't like wasn't sitting in the pocket and picking you apart. That's not the way he played. Russell Wilson was by far the best version of that. But I think all those guys are extremely polarizing. The only guys is like not polarizing is like Lamar Jackson when he's dominating and Josh Allen. Even Mahomes has been like as Mahomes losing a little bit.

[Colin Cowherd]

Right?

[John Middlekauff]

I mean that's. We do it with Herbert. I mean there's still a contingent like is this guy good? It's like yeah, he's good guys. You fucking morons. My family and I, excuse my language. Children are lifelong Vikings fan. We never miss a snap. If you were the Vikings, why not offer Four to five first round picks and go make a move for Burrow. Last year we won 14 games with Darnold and we obviously have the requisite talent around him to succeed. I just feel like without this kind of move, it's only a matter of time before JJ wants out. They would say no. They're not trading them. This, this conversation. Listen, I get, it's fun. I get a lot of people are in the business when he makes a comment like that. I thought it was like, God, this is such a waste of everyone's energy. They're not. He could demand a trade and they would say no. And clearly he's come out and said like, I'm not. He's going to be on the Bengals next year. So I think the max amount of first rounders you can trade in the NFL is three years out. So you could only trade if you had one first rounder a year, three first rounders total. But I don't think there's anything you could offer them that they would say yes. I just don't. It's not even possible. So you guys are in a tough spot, man. He's hurt again. Still a lot of question marks. Part of the reason he was hurt, I haven't seen. I'm sure Kevin o' Connell was asked about it and explained it. But on the play, which he was hurt, like, is that his fault for not seeing the unblocked guy? You know, Anthony Richardson got obliterated in the preseason when he ran a play and looked at the other side when the protection. Clearly the guy was going to be unblocked. And was that the case again? I'm speaking a little out of turn because I haven't seen oconnells comments on it and I don't pretend to be some, you know, Andy Reid here when it comes to schematics, but from the naked eye, sitting on my couch, it looks like JJ McCarthy takes some blame on that. Why he's injured. And again, Anthony Richardson got destroyed in NFL circles for that. So JJ's injured again. Showed some signs of life there for a couple weeks. The problem is what was against two of the worst teams in the league, defensively especially. So now he's injured and you go, we're just going to roll this guy back. It's a tough spot, man. It really is. I feel for Vikings fans because, God, you guys are so close. Last year, I mean, you guys were 60 minutes away from being the 1 seed.

Factors. If the Bills don't make it at least to the super bowl, they should fire both the head coach and the GM and hire Robert Salo. The Bills defense always seems to struggle with injuries in the playoffs, and Sal has shown he can manage a defense through adversity. Even though our receivers suck. The offense has never been the problem, it's always been the defense. Giving up 34 points per game to the Chiefs in four playoff games is unacceptable. I truly believe bean hasn't set McDermott up for success on defense, but if our goal isn't met this year, I don't think we can continue to run it back. Many will see this as a lateral move, but what are your thoughts? I hear what you're saying. To fire McDermott to hire another defensive coach who was just in your division who used to beat the shit out of is kind of a tough sell. I get Salah is a little lighter personality, feels like a little more engaging than Sean. You know Sean can be a little stiff, tight, but like Sean's proven like I'm taking a playoff team year in, year out. I mean they just drafted a wide receiver. Now granted, what's his name? Josh Allen. When they drafted Keon Coleman, part of it was Brandon Bean sent him a bunch of wide receivers. He watched them and he liked him. Guy can't even. He was inact him again last week. I mean, what three of the last four games been inactive? I mean, it's a disaster. So I, I think, listen, Brandon Bean. I was talking to a guy that worked in the NFL who's advanced, scouted them and he's like the thing that you really notice compared to some of the other good teams over the last several years, they're kind of small. They're just, they're more built for like if they were a college team, you'd be like, they're a Big 12 team, not an SEC team. Now they're a Big 12 team with the best quarterback in the country. So it's like, yeah, we can compete if he's slinging it. But there's something about the way they built their team which is just something's off. So I'm with you. He seems like a really nice guy. I don't know him personally, but I do think the GMs let them down. I think he'd have to be the first to admit it. I would put it more on the personnel staff than the coaching staff. Question for your next show. Should the Lions completely revamp their O D line? I think we need a fresh start and rebuild around Sewell and Hutch. It's hard to do, man. I mean one issue you guys are going to have is like let's use the Bears for example. So this off season they sign a center and I think they trade for two guards. You have a lot of money tied up into a lot of guys, right? Goff makes a lot of money. Sewell signed a big contract. St. Brown signed a big contract. Hutchinson, did he already get paid or he's going to get paid. Jameson Williams got a contract extension. Gibbs is going to need a contract extension. You have a high priced team and this work we talk about windows. Part of your window a couple years ago was like a lot of these guys run rookie deals and now they've become high end, high priced guys. So I think that becomes a big, big challenge for you. It's like where do you just find offensive linemen? I mean you can draft them, but we see that doesn't work out often or like a young guy is thrust into the action. You guys are playing important games. It's tough and it's hard to find defensive linemen. You know, part of the reason Hutchinson's elite, who drafted two overall, like you usually don't find those, like Max Crosby is an, an outlier. That, that is very abnormal. To the way to acquire defensive linemen. Right. Think of the best pass rushers in the league. If we just go around, most of them are high end picks. So I think that's really, really difficult to do. There's something your DBs just, I feel like your DBs get hurt every year, all the time. And obviously Branch tearing his Achilles this year is pretty devastating. But yeah, I don't really know what to tell you. I think it's going to be tough sledding at least the bright spot for you guys. A lot of high end playmakers, a lot of high end talent. I mean you have elite players that every team would want. But you know, the play calling this year, the injuries, I don't really, you know, I can't pretend to guess why that's happening but, but it's happening. I understand why Vrabel is a coach of the year candidate, but when you look at Ben Johnson and even Kyle Shanahan have done, how can it even be close? The Bears are in a division with the Packers, Lions and the Vikings. With Kevin o', Connell, Vrabel has had to fight it out with the Dolphins, jets and an average bill Bills teams, albeit they have Josh Allen and James Cook. The Bears have arguably played a much harder schedule and compared to where the franchise has been for years, it is such a turnaround. Even the Niners with a much tougher schedule and injuries with a number one seed potential. I don't think Vrabel is going to win it. I, I, I, I'm with you. I, I, I think it's, I kind of feel like it's Ben Johnson's to lose. Liam Cohen's throwing his hat in the ring and I think Kyle, if Kyle were to get the number one seed, I think he would just have to split it with somebody, you know, because they were the betting favorite to win the division this year. They were one of the betting favorites in the NFC to be in the Super Bowl. So a lot of teams bet or I mean a lot of people were predicting that they were going to be good. Now losing Fred Warner and Nick Bosa was not part of that equation. So I would have no problem if you like if Kyle wins these next two. I mean, you could argue what if Kyle beats Ben Johnson on Sunday night? Will you be like, well, you had two extra days rest. You know, does George Kittle play if Kyle wins Sunday night, I think you could make a big case. Personally, I don't give a shit about coach of the year because let's face it, it's just, we thought you were going to suck and now you're good. Even Ben Johnson, I think it would have been a good if they would have gone like 8, 9 this year and shown signs. He would have got a lot of credit. But part of it is that organization was a joke. Everything about it was pretty embarrassing. You know what? He took over. I have no problem with Ben Johnson winning it. Variable's done an excellent job, but let's face it, a huge part of their success has been Drake's. Drake may and, you know, sound like Mike's coaching him. If the 49ers win their next two games that are at home, they will get the number one seat and a buy followed by two home games. And then if they win the NFC Championship game, they will host the Super Bowl. So you're saying the 49ers never have to leave? That would be if the 49ers are at Levi's Stadium in early February. It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen. It really is. I'm not quite counting it out. I still think their defense, it's going to be a challenge. If they win this week, I'm convinced they can win the super bowl. Or when I say win the super bowl, they can win the nfc. Then the super bowl. One game, anything can happen. But I mean, again, that Elway Doc, he's in Super Bowls. He's like losing 42 to 10. Doesn't feel like we've had that many blowout Super Bowls. I guess the Eagles Chiefs was last year. But to me, like, obviously the 49ers are. They could win any individual playoff game if they are the wild card. I do foresee it being a challenge to win three straight games with their defense. If they win these next two games and have beat the Bears in Seattle, then I don't see how you could say they couldn't win the super bowl or definitely the nfc. On Spotify, you are wearing your hat backwards. Colin is notorious for his hat on backwards. Guy takes. Is it an inside joke between you two or just a random picture Spotify picked? I think when we were looking for a picture, we've. I think we're gonna change the logo here in 2026. It was just like, I don't have that many photos of me just by myself. And that was some photo that they used. I also am adamant about this because I do agree that when you represent, you know, major corporations, you know, how you, I guess, dress matters a little bit, though. Like, you know, I'm from Northern California, the richest people in the world wear hoodies every day. Silicon Valley is full of people that don't even own suits. You know, Elon, Elon Musk wears a T shirt every day. Steve Jobs wore jeans every day. You know, the culture on the west coast is a little bit different. We're a little, we're a little looser than they are in the East Coast. Like, you go to New York, like, they're a little more buttoned up with their dress. The success quote, unquote successful people. For us, it doesn't matter. You know, the hat on backwards thing, I'm bald. I truly, we play by different rules. If you have hair, then I judge you a little bit differently. If you want to judge someone for a hat on backwards, but myself being bald and today I haven't shaved and it looks terrible, I can do whatever I want. So the rules for me, who again is a professional podcaster, I would say are, is a little bit different than like some guy running a bank. But I'll say this guy running a bank hit the rules. Where I would disagree with Colin is like your rules, depending on what you do, change. If I'm Jamie Dimon and run Chase, yeah, I'm gonna dress a little bit different than if I'm Mark Zuckerberg and run Meta. Right. I mean, I, one, Jamie, you don't own Chase. You are just the president or CEO, you know, picked by the board. If I'm Mark, like, I own this, I wear whatever I want. So rules change for different people. If you're a young player, you know, you should be a little more cognizant, I guess. But I also think fashion changes. I mean, look at chicks now they're wearing the baggy jeans, which I think is a terrible look. But I get it. Like, things ebb and flow. I, I just think, like, I'm a podcaster, you know, I, I, I wear basketball shorts, tennis shoes and hoodies most every day. And I, and I, I do believe this. Like, my rules, like, if you have good hair, you know, like, put a little product in it. Don't even wear hat. Like, for me, like, sometimes I gotta cover my head. One, the lighting starts shining. Two, I haven't shaved. We just, we got the short end of the stick when it comes to the follicle power upstairs. And we're a little more, our rules aren't as strict, I would say. But I, I, I just really believe, you know, in all seriousness, they just picked the picture years ago. I don't even think anyone even thought twice about the backward hats thing. It it turned out to be kind of ironic and funny. But. But yeah, I'll I'll end on that. So have a great day. The.
