This is the Best of the Herd with Colin Cowher on Fox Sports Radio. Here we go. It is a Wednesday and there is actually a lot to talk about. It's the herd wherever you may be and however you may be listening. Thanks for making us part of your day. So JMac, we learned again today that the NFL owners run everything. Doesn't matter what committees say, doesn't matter what the commissioner says, it doesn't matter what coaches say. It is an owner run league and we got another example of that today with a tush push. I think you and I are pretty much on the same page with it, right? We're fine with this. I, I, I, I don't love it but here's here' very latest. The NFL's competition committee said you should get rid of it. The NFL's Health and Safety commission committee said you should get rid of it. And the NFL owner said yeah, we're going to keep it. It was close. They needed 24 votes to get rid of was 22 I think Jason Kelsey, former Eagles center podcaster apparently spoke to owners and that in my opinion was the difference. They're not going to ban it for now. Hey listen, clever coaches are like good accountants. They find loopholes, schemes, right to benefit their clients and sometimes the league rules. Nope, we gave it to you for three years, we're not going to give it to you for four. I've always said the NFL is a TV show and the two things they really care about are entertainment and safety. In no particular order, they care about entertainment and safety and to me the tush push kind of violates both. It looks dangerous and it's ugly. Optics on TV aren't good. It's an ugly play and it almost failed. 22 votes needed. 24. I think Jason Kelsey, speaking on behalf of it, a very respective player who was not, you know, some five star recruit. He was a grinder. He's classic NFL family. The Kelce's have been great for the league. He spoke and I think he tush pushed it into not being banned. I think his ability to create that play and to keep it from being banned. The Eagles have already posted it on social media. The push stays on. I'm a little surprised. I mean we see this all the time. Remember years ago Cam Chancellor would jump over the line and block kicks for the Seahawks and the NFL felt it's a little dangerous looking now. There wasn't a ton of data that showed, you know, there was a lot of Guys getting hurt. But the NFL didn't like it, and they said, I don't think so. The horse collar tackle, they got rid of it. The kickoffs, they look all funky now. They think it's too dangerous. But I think what helps the tush push. There is no current data that a bunch of guys are getting hurt with it, although I'm not sure a bunch of guys were getting hurt when Cam Chancellor was jumping over a line to block a kick either. But there's no data that shows that it's hurting people. And the second thing is, Jason Kelsey's powerful. He is respected. He made a plea to keep it, and I think it probably flipped one or two owners. So the competition committee, they and the health and safety committee recommended the league ban it. We don't like it. And usually those recommendations get something banned. But in this instance, the owners. And they control it. They control Goodell's salary. Roger Goodell is trying to get a raise here. They control that. They control the length of the schedule. It's the only sport in America where the owners control the TV networks, not vice versa. They tell them what they will pay, and then they can, they can blow those TV contracts up in the middle of them and renegotiate it if they want. The NFL owners are all powerful. You got a lot of NBA baseball owners, NBA owners, MLS owners selling stuff. You own an NFL team. Just keep it. Just. Just keep it. And so the owners win again. Here's Dion Dawkins, great left tackle for Buffalo. His opinions are like a lot of players opinions on it. You don't love it, but it's, it's, it's Philadelphia's. What do we do with it? Here's Dion Dawkins. It's a very hard play for a player. It's a very hard play for a player. You know, you're down there, your, your head is down. You just have to kind of just drive your legs and hit three people at one time. Like, it's very hard thing to do. But it's so weird because we play a game of inches, right? Like, what's the best play to get an inch? The touch push. What's the best play to get a yard, maybe a QB sneak. And it's hard to take it out or it's hard to change it because it's so necessary in the game. Because sometimes you just need to fall forward and get the first down. And to the Philadelphia Eagles credit, they do it well. I mean, Buffalo got to the AFC championship and they looked unprepared. When they had Superman Josh Allen trying to jump in the air and lean for a yard, it looked. It really looked like they didn't practice it. Philadelphia practices it. They add decoys to it. I thought when Kelsey left it wouldn't be as successful. It is. It does look a little dangerous, but so far I don't think there's any data that shows that it is. And Philadelphia does it better than anybody else. That's their best argument. We created it. We do it better than everybody else. It's available to the entire league. Why are you banning it? As of now, it survives. But it was close. And again, I think Jason Kelsey highly respected him. Speaking to owners, probably Tush pushed it in. Okay, Game one of the Western Conference finals is in the books. And it feels like the series is in the books. So Oklahoma City rolled through the NBA's regular season historically won by an average of 12.9 points. That, like Jordan's Bulls, didn't do that. And then they rolled Memphis in the first round and then they rolled Minnesota last night. The only team, and actually only player to give him real trouble is Jokic. Nikola Jokic, the joker gave him trouble. They even wore him down. An OKC like the super bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are not really built on a player. They're built on a general manager. Howie Roseman, GM of the Eagles, Sam Presti, GM of the Thunder. They have built such a insanely deep and flexible rosters. You think the coach is good, but is he necessary? They forced the T Wolves to only score from the outside. In fact, Minnesota only had 20 points in the paint. That's their lowest total. And they're a big team since 2015. Julius Randle kept him in the game in the first half, shot the ball well, hit a bunch of threes. Once that dried up, the offense dried up. This is a team that they're not necessarily huge, but. But you ever watch a football team, like you watch college football when Alabama was in its prime and the defense was just crushing people, and you're like, do they have 13 players on the field? Like, it looks like they have extra players. Oklahoma City's defense looks like they're playing seven guys. So Jokic could get his, but Murray didn't get his. Porter couldn't get his. They just shut off lanes and avenues and just think about this. So Oklahoma City against a much better west was 39 and 13. So they dominated the West. They were 29 and one against the East. So you're asking yourself, are the Pacers and the Knicks, which Starts tonight. Are they just playing for second place? So Aunt Edwards didn't have a great night, didn't get a lot of shots, sometimes invisible. I think he's going to have to have four or five games where he scores 30 plus and I'm not sure you can do this. This is just a defense where a lot of these guys are are just entering their athletic prime. Long, twitchy, fast. And Jokic is a great example. They really cut Jokic his passing lanes so the joker could score. But the passing lanes got cut down. And Jokic is a much more totally refined offensive player than Ant Edwards. Here's what's scary. Oklahoma City's average age is 25 for a team that won 68 games by an average winning total of 13 points. So it's by the second half, once Julius Randall's threes didn't drop. This looked like a total mismatch. Younger, quicker, better defensively with a lot of levers to pull. Here's Aunt Edwards after I definitely got to shoot more. I only took 13 shots, but I'll say probably just get off the ball a little more. Play without the ball. I think that'll be the answer. Because playing on the ball, they just gonna double and sit in the gaps all day. They clogged the paint. That's what they do. They don't got massage down there. So they banking us not making shots. I guess because every time I go to the rim it's like four people in the paint. So yeah, I guess they just be clogging the paint. They put like five, four bodies in the paint make kick it out. So just keep making the right play. Now here's the good news for Minnesota. They'll eventually go to go play at home where they're really good. Chris Finch and his staff have been excellent at shifting around to second and third gears and figuring out ways to get the most out of the offense. But if you watch the second half, it it, they were just overwhelmed. Memphis got overwhelmed. The west got overwhelmed. The east beat him one time in 30 games. Oklahoma City look really good, led by defense, of course. SGA is excellent. He gets the whistle. But I think the core of this thing is the depth, the roster construction, the aggressiveness of the defense. You know, generally in sports, a great defense slows down a great offense. If you were the Bulls and mj, you had both. But this, this looked like a mismatch last night in the second half. It looked really, really ugly. All right, so J. Mac, something else came out this morning. I love this so pff. They do this every year. They come out with a tiers of quarterbacks and it was, it was interesting. I've got a lot of thoughts on it. In my lifetime there's always been one thing that's true with a quarterback position and once again with PFF's quarterback rankings, they ranked everybody in the league. I think once again this happened since I was a kid. It happened during the Elway years, the Montana years, the Brady years, and now during the Mahomes years. There is something that always is the case and I'll talk about that coming up.

College basketball is getting some really good news and I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about that in 15 minutes. Chris Sims will be around the corner as well. If you have not heard, it was a very close voice, very close vote. The tush push by a couple of votes has survived again. Philadelphia they created it. Their argument is it's not a loophole, it's just the quarterback sneak modified, amplified and the owners did not take the recommendation of you know the rules Committee or the Health and Safety Committee. They both said ban it. The NFL owners close vote said, no, we're going to keep it. We'll vote in it again next year. So this is interesting. Pff, they do this every year. They take every starting quarterback in the NFL, all 32 ahead of the season, and they rank them. They put them in tiers tier 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6. I don't care about the middle bottom ones. So their tier one, which I totally agree with, is Mahomes, Jackson, Josh Allen and Burrow. I have no problem. That's what I would do. They're tier two. I don't disagree with that. Jalen Hurts, Jaden Daniels, Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert. Their tier three, which is Jared Goff, Geno Smith and Brock purdy. I think C.J. stroud is more talented than all those guys. Although I think it's close, I do think it's interesting. Sam Darnold's in Tier 5 and in Tier 3 is Tua and Trevor Lawrence. I disagree with that. But again, in my entire life, I've always had this thing we've talked about. There's always about seven quarterbacks, maybe eight at any one time in the NFL, in any era that you just don't pick up the phone. Somebody calls with Elway, you're not picking up the phone. If you go back to Elway in his prime, there were seven or eight guys, you're not picking up the phone. John Elway, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Troy Aikman and Warren Moon, they were just really, really good players. There's no reason to get on the phone and initiate conversation. Those were the seven guys. If you go to Brady's era, it was Brady and Breeze and Peyton Manning and Big Ben. I'd say Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers and maybe philip rivers. Their GMs love them. They won a lot of games and they were highly productive and you got them every week. I think right now, PFF got the eight right now. I, I, C.J. stroud is the one. To me, I think he either has to be the number one tier two quarterback or he's darn close. I think he's really good. He did pull back last year, but his offensive line was atrocious. He lost two of his three best receivers and he still got into the playoffs and won a playoff game. So other than that, I've always felt it's about seven or eight guys at any one time in the NFL that are somebody calls about him, you're not really interested. I don't think Houston would take a call on C.J. stroud. I think he is a tier two guy, maybe barely, maybe the first guy out. We could argue that it doesn't really matter because historically the guys in Tier one and occasionally Tier two win all the Super Bowls. So I think, pfft, got it right and don't, don't have a problem with any of the grades. I think clearly in the league now, Mahomes, Lamar, Josh and Burrow have separated. I don't think there's any question that's the first group. Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd, weekdays at noon Eastern, 9am Pacific.

So Mack Brown coached at North Carolina, then went on to fame, riches and a national title at Texas. And then they he went broadcasting and then he went back to North Carolina. He did a good job. He did a good job. He raised a lot of money. North Carolina got into bowl games. They put a lot of guys in the NFL, but it is a basketball school. So he retires his last year. I think he's 6 and 6 and Bill Belichick takes over. So they, they asked him about Belichick and I'm not saying what he's saying is untrue, but I could see where the Belichick people, the Belichick camp wouldn't love what Mack Brown said when he was asked about Belichick with the Tar Heels. As far as North Carolina and Bill Belichick now, they he's arguably the best coach ever. They've committed money to it. They've helped them with academics, they've lowered those standards some. So there's absolutely no reason that they shouldn't be successful. And, and anymore you they've changed the roster. I think they've signed maybe 60 something new transfers. So you've got a chance to succeed at the highest level. And I expect them to do that. And I'm proud for him. He may be right. But if you take out Notre Dame, there is no top 12 college football program, top 15 college football program that can't get the best high schoolers in. When you talk about academics, you know they've lowered the standards. Notre Dame's different. They're a top 15 program. And it's, it's a tough school to get in and it's a tough school to get through Stanford, but they're not a top 15 program. They've had stretches. Stanford's another program where, you know, they're, they're, it's hard to get in. It's, I've had coaches tell me at Stanford, you can't keep 85 guys on scholarship, they can't find enough players that academically qualify for Stanford. Did they lower academic standards at Carolina? My take has always been Carolina is one of those schools that if they want to get a player in, they'll get a player in. So I could see Belichick people blanching at that a little bit. But I do think this is where I give Carolina a lot of credit, is they realized, listen, in our conference, there is one big dog, and that big dog is Clemson. And how are we going to catch Clemson? Well, Clemson will not play the nil game. They're the only national power that's not interested in it. And I think Carolina smartly said, okay, they're not going to do it. This is a moment in time to catch the big dog. Clemson in our conference, we're going to go completely pro model and go all in on nil. And this is a little bit what Oregon did with Chip Kelly. Mike Pilotti did a good job, but it was always Washington and USC were the big names in the conference. They had national championships. And Oregon said, how do we catch them? Well, Phil Knight, 100 uniforms to get LA kids, be cool. We're going to be the cool program. We're not going to like USC and Washington. Grab on the tradition. We have no tradition. We're going to go 100 uniforms and we're going to go hire a guy in Chip Kelly. They don't huddle. Oregon stopped huddling for a long time. We're not going to huddle. I'll play every 13 seconds. And it worked. And Oregon is still on top of Washington and usc. So to catch the big dog in a conference, you got to take big swings. And I look at Carolina saying, hey, we got a moment in time here. Clemson's not playing the nil game, so let's go all in on nil, all in on NFL model, all in on Belichick and Jordan Hudson, too. So I respect what Carolina is doing. I think it's the only way to be a disruptor is to look at the leading models and do the opposite. This is interesting. The Buffalo Bills, I was just told in my earpiece, are going to do hard knocks. They've been selected. Now, usually you get boring teams or dysfunctional teams or chaotic teams or teams. That's why I hard knocks eliminates all the good teams. So Buffalo is actually fascinating. So this is a team that they're the only team. I saw this yesterday. The Buffalo Bills, not Philadelphia, are the only team to be favored in every game next year. So the Eagles face Buffalo at the end of the season. And right now, Buffalo is a 1 1/2 point favorite in that game. You can bet it. So my takeaway on this is Buffalo. This sounds like a good problem. Buffalo's in a really tough spot. Josh Allen just turned 29. He's audaciously talented, six' six, 255 or more, and a great runner. He's in the middle of his prime. And last season off his best season, the Kansas City Chiefs were the single most vulnerable Chiefs team since Mahomes arrived. O line issues, receiver maturity issues, health issues. And Kansas City still beat him in the AFC championship. And when Sean McDermott got into those short yardage situations with Josh Allen leaping over, I've got to be honest, it looked like a defensive coach that was a bit unprepared on third and fourth and one calls. It was really bad. It was the opposite of the tush push. It looked unpracticed. And so here's the problem. Sean McDermott is a good coach. In fact, I'd say he's a. He's a really good coach. Is he marked Jackson to the warriors, where he's a good coach, a playoff coach, a smart coach, but not the championship coach. And if you look at the AFC now, you've got Annie Reed, both our boss. Sean Payton's in it. Oh, oops. Mike Vrabel just reappeared. So it's very easy when you watch one of those music shows to spot great and lousy. You know, it's. It's just not that hard to see mediocre or bad or great. What do you do with good to pretty good. And it would be one thing if Buffalo had seven trophies. They're the one team in the National Football League who is now on its second run that's going to last over a decade, that's good enough to get there, often gets there and has no trophies. They're like the last. I mean, it was one thing when the Cubs won a World Series. They were just bad forever the lovable losers. Now, Buffaloes had the Jim Kelly era, the Josh Allen era, where we're like, I think half those years they were the best team in the NFL and they got no trophies. So that adds to the tension in the city. If you got. If you got trophies like the packers or the Eagles in the back room, it's a different vibe entirely. So how long is Dion Dawkins going to remain healthy at left tackle? I looked this morning. Josh Allen's cap hit is going up. It's kind of the Sean McDermott dilemma, where he's not bad, but I don't think he's great, but I think he's good to pretty good. And the warriors moved off Mark Jackson and it was a risk because Mark Jackson was a good coach. So you do get to a point with Buffalo. It's interesting that they're going to be the, you know, the HBO Max show or the HBO show Hard Knocks. Usually it is a team with an outrageous personality at coach or at quarterback. McDermott's pretty muted, pretty intense. I do think Buffalo's interesting, but they're the only team favored to win every game next year. And yet here we are. Do you really think Kansas City had its worst, most vulnerable team now? They got blown out in the Super Bowl. This was their most vulnerable year. And now it's Peyton. Now it's both hardballs. Here comes Rabel, and all of them have their quarterbacks. John Harbaugh's got his quarterback. Jim Harbaugh's got his quarterback. Sean Payton's got his quarterback. Mike Frable. Drake May, I think, got his quarterback. Sean does, too, but the pressure is really on him. By the way, good news here. J. Mac, I know we're not supposed to talk about this, but I'm just reading this.
