1. Introduction and Guest Appearance

Timestamp: 01:51

Colin Cowherd welcomes Carson Palmer, highlighting his illustrious career:

Colin Cowherd: "15 years in the NFL, multiple-time Pro Bowler, Heisman winner, College Hall of Famer, and now a high school football coach about to become a high school football coaching legend. His son's the quarterback, and he is joining us now live right now. Carson Palmer is in his office right now around the clock."

2. Carson Palmer’s Transition to High School Coaching and Influence from Pete Carroll

Timestamp: 02:50 - 06:10

Colin delves into Palmer’s first impressions of Pete Carroll and the impact Carroll has had on his coaching philosophy.

Colin Cowherd: "You were at USC and then all of a sudden your first Coach Paul Hackett doesn't work. Here comes Pete Carroll. So you're a young guy. What was your first impression of Pete Carroll?"

Carson Palmer: "Just the energy he brought to the program. There was such a vision that was laid out in front of us from the jump, and there was a clear vision. He knew what he wanted, he knew what he expected. We knew as players what to expect from him and what he expected from us. When you're the Raiders, you just want some stability. He instantly gives you that stability that the organization needs."

Palmer emphasizes Carroll’s multifaceted coaching approach and the foundational principles he adopted:

Carson Palmer: "He's not a one-thing guy. He doesn't do one thing well. He brings tremendous energy. He's super mature. He's got success, so he's got credibility. The simple rules he set—respect for your team, officials, and opponents—are easy to follow and make sense. He's the greatest coach I ever had the chance to play for. He's a future Hall of Famer and everything you want in a coach and the Raiders organization."

3. Insights from Carson Palmer's Coaching Experience

Timestamp: 06:10 - 10:47

Palmer shares the lessons he learned from Carroll, focusing on leadership, ball security, and defensive strategy.

Carson Palmer: "I learned how to be a leader. I learned how important it is to focus on the ball and how important it is to secure it, never give it away, and attack it on defense. Respect was a cornerstone of what he taught us—respect for your team, officials, and opponents. These principles are what I carry into my coaching at Santa Margarita High School."

He further discusses Pete Carroll’s unparalleled ability to stabilize and invigorate a football program:

Carson Palmer: "He gives instant credibility, stability, and maturity to the organization. What he did in Seattle was amazing—developing the Legion of Boom, reinventing the team even after star players left, and consistently taking the team to the playoffs. His tenure with the Seahawks showcased his ability to adapt and maintain success, which is exactly what he brings to the Raiders."

4. Analysis of NFL Quarterbacking: Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, C.J. Stroud

Timestamp: 06:41 - 09:10

The discussion shifts to the performance and potential of emerging quarterbacks in the NFL, particularly Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams.

Colin Cowherd: "You played in a conference championship game, NFC championship game. Go back to that moment. Jaden Daniels, Jalen Hurts now. Been in a couple Mahomes, been in a lot. Josh Allen's experience. Jaden Daniels, this is his first. That was your first. You tell me, anxious."

Carson Palmer: "Jaden's got nothing to lose. He's playing with house money, all the pressure on Philly. He's got all the hype, but he's out there as a rookie, thinking about his future. He plays outside the system a lot, relying on natural instinct, which is unique and sometimes risky, but it’s his strength. I believe he can knock off Philly and head to the Super Bowl as a rookie—the first to ever do it."

The conversation highlights Caleb Williams' exceptional talent and Ben Johnson's role in harnessing that potential with the Chicago Bears.

Carson Palmer: "Caleb's got the blueprint. Ben Johnson is phenomenal, coming up with innovative concepts that haven't been seen before. Combining Caleb's athleticism with Ben's strategic mind is a perfect match. Chicago has a legitimate case to make the playoffs this year with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. The sky's the limit."

---

5. Ben Johnson’s Impact on the Chicago Bears

Timestamp: 09:10 - 10:47

Palmer elaborates on how Ben Johnson’s coaching is transforming the Chicago Bears, particularly through his partnership with Caleb Williams.

Carson Palmer: "Ben Johnson doesn’t focus on one aspect; he embraces multiple facets of coaching, which I took from Pete Carroll. The Bears under Ben are seeing significant improvements, especially with Caleb Williams at quarterback. Ben’s innovative offensive strategies and Caleb’s dynamic playstyle create a formidable combination. The integration of new route combinations and defense strategies keeps opponents on their toes. I'm excited about Chicago's future—they're moving out of a playoff hibernation and becoming a real contender."

---

6. Transfer Portal and Jeremiah Smith’s Potential Move

Timestamp: 20:40 - 25:37

The conversation takes a lively turn discussing the transfer portal, focusing on Jeremiah Smith, one of college football’s top receivers, and his possible transfer from Ohio State to Miami.

Colin Cowherd: "USA Today is speculating Miami is pushing for Jeremiah Smith. They just landed Carson Beck in the portal a few weeks ago."

Carson Palmer: "I'm not paying $6 million for a college receiver. Jeremiah's receiving a lot but teams are already stacking up their receivers with multiple five-star recruits. Ohio State benefits from coaches like Ryan Day and Chip Kelly, and they've got a strong running game. Jeremiah touching the ball seven times a game is impressive, but paying top dollar doesn't necessarily translate to success. I’d rather invest in positions like center where my team's needs are greater."

The banter continues with Palmer expressing skepticism about the financial aspects of college transfers, emphasizing team needs over individual star power.

Carson Palmer: "It's like having a closet full of tank tops for the beach—you don't need more receivers if you've already got depth. Jeremiah's an exceptional receiver, but Ohio State's system and the surrounding talent make it hard for other teams to lure him away, especially when he's crucial to their offense."

7. NFL Team Analysis: Dallas Cowboys’ Struggles and Jacksonville Jaguars’ Future

Timestamp: 35:24 - 41:58

Palmer and co-host Jason McIntyre discuss the ongoing issues within the Dallas Cowboys organization and the promising outlook for the Jacksonville Jaguars under new coach Liam Cohen.

Dallas Cowboys’ Struggles:

Jason McIntyre: "The headline in Dallas will be 'Shot Through the Heart, Jerry's to Blame.' The team's been a disaster after disaster, particularly with the Dak Prescott contract and McCarthy's coaching decisions."

Colin Cowherd: "It's a disaster, folks. When you're the last team to hire a coach, you get the bottom end of the coordinators. Jerry doesn't pay his coaches a lot, unlike other organizations that invest more in their coaching staff."

Jacksonville Jaguars’ Future:

Jason McIntyre: "In Jacksonville, with Trevor Lawrence and new coach Liam Cohen, the team is ripe for success. The headline will be 'Cohen's Turnaround Turns Jags Around.' With weapons like Etan Thomas and Brian Thomas, and smart playcalling from Cohen, Jacksonville is poised to be a 10-win team next year."

Carson Palmer: "Trevor Lawrence can turn things around. Jacksonville is a 10-win team next year, put me down for the playoffs with Trevor Lawrence."

---

8. Predictions for Upcoming Games and Season

Timestamp: 30:32 - 37:00

The hosts make predictions for key NFL games and discuss the potential outcomes of upcoming matchups.

Philadelphia vs. Washington NFC Championship:

Carson Palmer: "Jaden Daniels is going to explode as a rookie. I think he can knock off Philly and lead his team to the Super Bowl."

Jason McIntyre: "I bet Jaden Daniels under 55 rushing yards. He usually picks up first downs but doesn't do many long runs."

Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs:

Colin Cowherd: "I'll go Eagles. Philadelphia always feels like they could give you more, but I'll take them."

Jason McIntyre: "I’ve taken the Bills this week, Philly, and the over in the Commander's Eagles games. Josh Allen needs to deliver for the Bills to pull off a win."

Chicago Bears Next Season:

Jason McIntyre: "With Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, the Bears can make the playoffs. They’ve improved and have key players in place."

---

9. Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Timestamp: 40:56 - 44:16

The episode wraps up with Carson Palmer expressing optimism about the Raiders under Pete Carroll’s leadership and a brief mention of upcoming podcasts and promotions.

Carson Palmer: "Pete Carroll is everything you want in a coach and the Raiders organization. This is an exciting day for the future. He gives you instant credibility, stability, maturity, and he's been there and done that."

Colin Cowherd: "I'm good with it. Ben Johnson, Liam Cohen, Aaron Glenn, Mike Vrabel, Pete Carroll—all fantastic coaches making moves that could shape the future of their teams."

Fifteen years in the NFL, multiple time pro Bowler, Heisman winner, college hall of Famer, and now and now high school football coach about to become high school football coaching legend. His son's the quarterback and he is joining us now live right now. Carson Palmer in his office right now around the clock. So you were at USC and then all of a sudden your first Coach Paul Hackett doesn't work. Here comes Pete Carroll. So you're a young guy. That Raider roster's got a lot of young guys. What was your first impression of Pete Carroll? You had a great year. I mean, you, You. Pete kind of took you to new heights. But give me your first impressions of Pete and what really resonated with you.

[Carson Palmer]

Just the energy he brought to the program. You know, there was. There was such a vision that was laid out in front of us from the jump, and it. There was a clear vision. He knew what he wanted, he knew what he expected. We knew as players what to expect from him and what he expected from us, which is just at the end of the day, what you want. You know, when. When you're the Raiders, you just want some stability. It has been a very unstable environment for a very long time, and he instantly gives you that stability that, that pro. That that organization needs.

[Colin Cowherd]

When you're coaching in high school and you've had good coaches, you've. You. There's been a lot of guy. Bruce Arians, Pete Carroll. What is the one thing you will take from Pete as a coach? The one discipline, the one culture setter that you'll take from Pete?

[Carson Palmer]

There's not. There's not one thing. I had a chance to spend five or six hours meeting with Pete before I took this, this coaching job at Santa Margarita High School. And I took. I took 12 things. I still am texting. I'm asking him, you know, certain things, how to run this, how to do this. So he's not a one thing guy. He doesn't do one thing well. He brings tremendous energy. He's super mature. He's. He's got success, so he's got credibility. But the, you know, the. The things that I look and that I'm hanging my hat on are, you know, there were simple rules, but Pete isn't, you know, a ton of rules. You know, super disciplinarian. You know, there's a handful of rules. They all make a lot of sense. They're really easy to follow. And if you can't follow those rules, then you probably shouldn't be on his team or really any team. But there's not one thing that when I think back about my experience playing with him, you know, I learned. I learned how to be a leader. I learned how important it is to focus on the ball and how important it is to go get the ball on defense. He always talked about that, securing it, never giving it away and attacking it on defense. He talked about respect, respect for Your team, respect for the officials, respect for your opponent. He was, he's, he's the greatest coach that I ever had the chance to play for. He's a future hall of Famer. He's everything you want in a coach and the Raiders organization. This is an exciting day, obviously for the future. You know, I know it's a three year deal, maybe a four year deal, but he's just, he gives you instant credibility, stability, maturity. And he's been there and done that. And what he did in Seattle was amazing. Going from, you know, the Matt Hasselbeck, Sean Alexander, creating the legion of boom, developing the Legion, Legion of boom. Being there long enough to see those guys leave and move on and then still getting the playoffs, you know, with, with Russell Wilson at quarterback and beast mode in the backfield and really reinventing that team after the legion of boom, you know, to bringing along Geno Smith, I mean, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for the success and the stability that he brought to Seattle.

[Colin Cowherd]

You played in a conference championship game, NFC championship game. Go back to that moment. Jaden Daniels, Jalen hurts now. Been in a couple Mahomes, been in a lot. Josh Allen's experience. Jaden Daniels, this is his first. That was your first. You tell me, anxious. Did you worry about like being so amped up that can affect sort of, you know, your mechanics. Go back to your NFC championship game. What was it like?

[Carson Palmer]

Yeah, Jaden's got nothing to lose. I mean, he's playing with house money, all the pressures on Philly. He's, you know, he's got all the hype. You know, everybody's going to be focused on him. Obviously that entire defense, that entire stadium, the energy is going to be electric. But man, he's out there playing as a rookie, thinking, I've got a whole career ahead of me to get back here. I'm just going to let it loose, cut it loose. And, and that's the one thing when you watch him play, he doesn't really, he doesn't play within a mold. He plays outside the system a lot, which is really unique. And a lot of guys don't have success doing that. He is just playing with so much natural instinct and his first, one of his best attributes and one of the things he's looking to do first is take off and run with the ball. He's such a good running runner with the ball. And it's not because he's a 44 guy. It's because he has the ability to get down and cut and change direction and make people miss. So I think in his mind right now, he cannot wait for this game. He knows all the pressures on Philly. They're at home, they've been there. They're expected to continue to play through this game and into the Super Bowl. And he's playing with, you know, a young team, a first year head coach in his first year as a quarterback. I think he is excited. I think he's going to let it loose and have an amazing game and possibly knock off Philly and head to the super bowl as a rookie and be the first to ever do it.

[Colin Cowherd]

You had a year in Arizona. It's still the best year quarterbacks ever had. There. You threw for 4,600 yards, 35 touchdowns. In the history of the Chicago Bears, they've never had a quarterback equal the one year, your greatest year. It's the greatest year Arizona has ever had for a quarterback in a season. You also, I think you were the first quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards for three different teams. So you had success in multiple places. All that said, Chicago has struggled with quarterback. They've never had a 4,000 yard quarterback. They've never had 30 touchdown passes. You did all sorts of teams. So obviously that's a lot of you because you did it with different people. Maybe some of it is the weather, maybe some of it is. It's always had a defensive culture, but there is something to unlock here. You know Caleb Williams pretty well as a former USC guy. How does Ben Johnson. This is a defensive culture. It really is. You think Bears, you think defense. If you were taking over Caleb Williams in Chicago, cold weather, rough outdoor games. Are there any secrets to getting over the hump for a historic franchise that can't get over the hump at that position?

[Carson Palmer]

Yeah, I mean, a historic franchise that hasn't had success at that position, but they've never had the athlete or the player and the competitor that Caleb is at that position. So it's the first time that that organization has had somebody like him. You combine him with. With what? With what? You know, you watched Jared Goff do who? Jared Goff is an incredible player, but not the athlete that Caleb is. So I just. When I first heard that Coach Johnson was getting the job, Caleb's got the blueprint. He can sit there and watch hours and hours and hours of film of watching Caleb or I'm sorry, watching Jared Goff run that system. And then you combine the addition of all the attributes that Caleb has that Jared doesn't have within his, his repertoire. I think the sky's the limit. I think Ben is phenomenal. What he's done some of the, he's coming up with concepts that, that people have not seen or run in the NFL. Yeah, there's some things he's doing in, against man defense, in the play action game. They're, they're route combinations that I just haven't seen before, which is really rare. A lot of stuff in the NFL gets recycled and then it trickles down through college football. But Ben is an innovator. He's coming up with new stuff and like I said, I mean, Chicago's got a quarterback and an athlete back there that they've never seen run out on that field in their uniform and their helmet. So I think it's a perfect combination and I think the blueprint is right there for Caleb. It's so nice when you get a new head coach that comes in and you can watch that system on film and study that playbook and study the cut ups that he's going to be studying of Detroit and Jared Goff doing it. And I just think that's going to energize Caleb. Caleb's going to go, man.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. Carson Palmer. So you've been coaching now a month. He's coaching his son at a very storied high school program in Southern California. Harder than you thought. Easier. Can you give us an, can you give us an update on your coaching? Oh, we lost him. We lost Carson Palmer. Well, I appreciate it. Little breakdown in connectivity. It's the world we live in. Good stuff. Carson Palmer, 15 years, three time Pro Bowler. He didn't play his first year. John Kitten I think was ahead of him for a while, but I think what Jaden Daniel's doing is all time stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards, multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirrorball trophy from Dancing with the Star. So where else are you going to find a show with that much athleticism and football insight based in Nashville, we're more than just your basic NFL show. We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit everything. Because we got lots to say. I texted you and you texted me back.

[Colin Cowherd]

Back.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, I don't know if you have the update, but, like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it and the heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest. It was a little pink.

[Jason McIntyre]

There was something sentimental when you.

[Colin Cowherd]

When you send it, it was like.

[Jason McIntyre]

Do I send the heart? Now?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like the color edition.

[Colin Cowherd]

It's extremely pink.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Colin Cowherd]

J. Mac with the news. No, no, no, no.

[Jason McIntyre]

Turn on the news. This is the third line news. All right, Colin, we've got a little breaking news out of Houston. Happened about an hour ago.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Jason McIntyre]

Bobby Slowik, fired as offensive coordinator after two seasons with the team. Now, listen, obviously this season there were major issues.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Jason McIntyre]

With some of his play calling. He just loved a good Joe Mixon run into the line of scrimmage to start almost every first down. Texans fans were irate about this. I guess the big picture, you look at it, he was hopefully setting stuff up with the early down runs. But they made the playoffs each of Stroud's first two years. Okay. This year, the offensive line injuries were decimated the team. The receivers went down, and they still made the playoffs and still won a game in the playoffs.

[Colin Cowherd]

And. And they won a game. They blew out the Chargers and outside of special teams, outplayed the Chiefs. Okay, Chiefs had 200 yards offense.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah. No, no, the defense was great. Albert has shed some light on this saying. And this is all you need to know. C.J. stroud was frustrated with his offensive coordinating.

[Colin Cowherd]

Okay.

[Jason McIntyre]

If C.J. str. Whatever he wants, you know, he gets so young quarterback the NFL.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. I mean, a young quarterback gets frustrated, you could. You're not going to fire the quarterback.

[Jason McIntyre]

My only thing is, like, I. I don't know how easy this is going to be to totally pivot to a new offensive coordinator, new system. We know Diggs ain't coming back. Right. He's going to go elsewhere. They got to improve that offensive line. There's a good job, though, for an OC, right. You get to work with C.J. stroud.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, they got Stefan Diggs.

[Jason McIntyre]

You got. Diggs is gonna stick around. Dick takes big money now.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, they got Nico Collins, Tank Dell. They got a good left tackle.

[Jason McIntyre]

Dalton Schultz, solid. Joe Nixon good.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah. I mean, they got real weapons, and it's a wonky division. I think it's. I think it's a very good job.

[Jason McIntyre]

You want a hot take?

[Colin Cowherd]

What hot take?

[Jason McIntyre]

Maya, let me save it for head.

[Colin Cowherd]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Jason McIntyre]

I'll tease it. I don't think they win the division next year.

[Colin Cowherd]

You think Jacksonville.

[Jason McIntyre]

No comment. We'll talk about it.

[Colin Cowherd]

And I think Sam Darnold is going to the Indianapolis Colts.

[Jason McIntyre]

Wait, is that news? I don't know. That's your guess? Okay.

[Colin Cowherd]

No, I'm saying Sam darn. I mean, I had a pretty good prediction here. You guys may want to just take my word for. For everything. Sam Darnold to the Indianapolis Colts.

[Jason McIntyre]

Don't hate it. Kirk Cousins to the range.

[Colin Cowherd]

Not sourced. No, just prediction ruminating upstairs.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah, Cowherd's going on the ir. He just hurt himself patting himself on the back, so. He's got a shoulder injury. Next up is Jared Goff. Hey, listen, man. He had a tough matchup against a bad Washington defense. Three red zone turnovers, two picks and a fumble.

[Colin Cowherd]

It was.

[Jason McIntyre]

It was ugly. But he had a good run under Ben Johnson overall. Now with his OC in Chicago, some believe Goff may not have the same success as in the past. GM Brad Holmes of the Lions feels otherwise.

[Colin Cowherd]

Obviously, he was very productive with Ben, you know, as a coordinator, but he had a lot of prior success before he even got here is as well in a completely different system. And I think he's a better quarterback, a more mature quarterback now than he was then when he had early success. So.

[Jason McIntyre]

So I. I don't.

[Carson Palmer]

I don't.

[Colin Cowherd]

I don't foresee that again. I think the guys in his prime, he's gotten better and better every year. And when I say prime, I think like just entering it, it's because he keeps ascending.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah, Brad Holmes is. Sounds smart. He built an amazing roster.

[Colin Cowherd]

But you're not gonna duplicate Ben Johnson. The chick is the next coordinator good enough to coach the Chicago Bears. No. So you're not going to get Ben Johnson. You're gonna go down.

[Jason McIntyre]

We don't know who was Ben Johnson four years ago. Like, these guys can come out of nowhere.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ben Johnson's younger than Johnson four years ago. Wasn't as good as Ben Johnson today.

[Jason McIntyre]

Also fast.

[Colin Cowherd]

You're not gonna. You're gonna just downgrade at oc. You can just mark that and you're gonna downgrade it. By the way, I'm hearing troubling things on staff. Do not like the staff. The jets are compiling. I'm just going to tell you that right now after the weekend. I don't like what I'm hearing. Not good.

[Jason McIntyre]

Consecutives.

[Colin Cowherd]

Don't like it.

[Jason McIntyre]

Let's just be. You are being positive on them earlier this week. Now you're just.

[Colin Cowherd]

No. When you get new information, new spin.

[Jason McIntyre]

Oh, okay.

[Colin Cowherd]

This is the new spin zone.

[Jason McIntyre]

So we saved some time for this last story, which is freaking incredible. Okay, the transfer portal, we know it's popping off. How about this? There is a report out there from one of these recruiting websites that Jeremiah Smith, the best receiver in college football, was a true freshman. Unguardable, has a four and a half million dollar offer to enter the portal. He just won a national championship with Ohio State. He's coming back. We don't know who their quarterback is going to be. Colin, USA Today is speculating. Miami is the team pushing for him. They just landed Carson Beck in the portal a few weeks ago. And Jeremiah Smith grew up in the Miami area, won three straight titles. They spent three state titles. And Jeremiah Smith leaving the Buckeyes.

[Colin Cowherd]

They're spending more money the Hurricanes than the Cincinnati Bengals. Seriously, their payroll may be higher than the Bengals.

[Jason McIntyre]

This is spicy. Because Smith's numbers were unbelievable. He's probably the best receiver in college.

[Colin Cowherd]

Football since Randy Moss and Amica Igbuka. Very good receiver. Is declaring for the NFL draft so Ohio State could lose their top two receivers and both their running backs.

[Jason McIntyre]

Let me just. So do you remember when LeBron started teaming up with his friends and forming amazing super teams in the NBA?

[Colin Cowherd]

Yes.

[Jason McIntyre]

What's stopping the transfer portal from super teams forming in college football?

[Colin Cowherd]

You have limitations on what most colleges can pay.

[Jason McIntyre]

Oh, not necessarily. Four and a half million for Jeremiah Smith. That feels low. I would, I would pay him more than 99 of quarterbacks in college football. Would you not?

[Colin Cowherd]

No. Jeremiah Smith, he's going to touch the ball seven times a game.

[Jason McIntyre]

Colin, if you're Texas and you hear this and you've got archmanning and you lost golden and everybody, why don't you say, hey, well here's five mil.

[Colin Cowherd]

Texas has really good receivers. They're probably paying 300,000 to. They're not Jeremiah Smith, well, he's, he's a wide receiver. They're not. By the way, teams are getting better. Buffalo got better without Stefan Diggs.

[Jason McIntyre]

No, that's the NFL. Timeout. That's the NFL with an ego driven guy and the divas. Jeremiah Smith has no diva.

[Colin Cowherd]

A year ago, Michigan won the Natty and in their weakness probably was wide receiver.

[Jason McIntyre]

Okay, Ohio State just won the Natty because they have the best offense. Now if you're Oregon, do you come to the table? Hey, yeah. You're 6 million. Jeremiah Smith. Phil Knight open in the bankroll.

[Colin Cowherd]

I think Oregon has to get a little bigger in a couple of spots. I think they're plenty fast. Oregon doesn't have a speed problem. They gotta getta get better upfront defensively. They'll be. They'll be.

[Jason McIntyre]

So Jeremiah Smith's probably going to Ohio State. Hey, yesterday's price. It's not today's price.

[Colin Cowherd]

Oh boy.

[Jason McIntyre]

I need more. No, wait a sec. Are you backing off? You don't want these guys getting paid.

[Colin Cowherd]

I want them getting paid. I'm not paying $6 million.

[Jason McIntyre]

You're not? It's Joe Joey bag of donuts over here with $75 billion in the bank. I want my team to compete for the championship.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm not a college wide receiver. It's a. You know what you like flash. You're a convertible guy. You're a. You're a gun show at the beach guy. I'm out. I'm a mason. I'm out here with masonry and a hammer.

[Jason McIntyre]

Coastal elite coward.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm building a roof for the impoverished. I'm a lunch pail guy. You're. You're a convertible Maserati. You like receivers? I like centers. That's where I'm spending my money. My nil is going to the big boys up front.

[Jason McIntyre]

Convertible with the tank top. Is that common mind blowing?

[Colin Cowherd]

6 million for a college receiver?

[Jason McIntyre]

No, no, it's not a college receiver. It's Jeremiah Smith.

[Colin Cowherd]

You do realize Ohio State, he works at Ohio State because of Ryan Day and Chip Kelly and Will Howard and great running backs.

[Jason McIntyre]

Oh, so now Jeremiah said maybe. Oh my gosh, it is hot. Take half.

[Colin Cowherd]

You put him at over at Syracuse. And I double team him. By the way, Texas took him out.

[Jason McIntyre]

Of the game and they still won and covered.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, but they took him out of the game at 6 million. You can't get taken out of the game.

[Katie Couric]

Triple team.

[Colin Cowherd]

You can't take a quarterback out of a game. You can take a receiver out of a game. Roll coverage. Over 6 million bucks. I. You got to play a position. I can't. I can't take a quarterback out of a game.

[Jason McIntyre]

Okay, so just hypothetically, you're Ohio State and I'm Jeremiah Smith and I say, hey, Miami's got four and a half for me. What do you guys say? Are you saying thank you for the title? We'll see you.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'll say, I'll throw in a Kia. I'll give you, I'll give you a company car, a Lisa car.

[Jason McIntyre]

And he's like, you can lease that for my cousin. What are you going to give me?

[Colin Cowherd]

No, I got Brian Hartlines my receiving. Oh, yeah, Coach. Okay, we've got four other five star guys coming to us. Good luck.

[Jason McIntyre]

All right, Ohio State fans just know Coward said bye to Jeremiah Smith.

[Colin Cowherd]

That's what I'm saying. It's. If there's any position in college football for any program I'm not worried about, it's receiver at Ohio State.

[Jason McIntyre]

Who are the two most marketable players returning to college football? Arch Manning is one.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah.

[Jason McIntyre]

Because of his last name.

[Colin Cowherd]

And Jeremiah Smith, one place quarterback.

[Jason McIntyre]

Oh my gosh. This is a good.

[Colin Cowherd]

Ohio State literally gets three five star receivers a year and four other four stars. Why would I pay? I'm just going to be like, hey, you were great. You want us a Natty? You know, some guys hit the exits and you thank them. When Manny Ramirez left the Red Sox. Thank you for getting us a trophy. I don't need nine more years of Manny Ramirez. You got us what we needed.

[Jason McIntyre]

I, I don't know, man.

[Colin Cowherd]

By the way, I mean, it's like Olaf Garrett, Wilson, Marvin Harrison, Jeremiah Smith, the Seahawks kid in Jigba. Every year they got two first round guys.

[Jason McIntyre]

Okay, all right. You let him go to Miami. I'll put. When is our next trip to Vegas?

[Colin Cowherd]

Getting. Getting a wide receiver to stay at Ohio State is like you having another tank top for the beach. You've already got a closet full. What's it matter?

[Jason McIntyre]

Geez, I hope this is not how my negotiation is going to go because this does not sound promising at all. And I'm Jeremiah Smith, you know that.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, sure. J. Mac with the news. Well, that's the news.

[Jason McIntyre]

[Jason McIntyre]

You play this week's Fox Super 6, sponsored by DraftKings. Go to the Fox Sports app and enter for a free chance to win up to $100,000 in cash prizes. One of the questions is, which team will score the most points on Sunday? Colin, who you got? Bills at Casey, Commanders at Philly, Eagles or Chiefs?

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm gonna go Eagles. The weather's not going to be an issue. Be cold, but they'll lay. They'll leave some points on the field. That's Philadelphia. You always feel like they could give you more, but I'll take them. All right, here we go. Well, well, well. Three games Left in the football season. Two games this weekend. College? Not for a while. You've had a very good season. So I went 30 last weekend. I've taken the Bills this week, Philly and the over in the Commander's Eagles games. So let's start tomorrow's headlines. Today, Commander's Eagles. What's the headline for the NFC championship?

[Jason McIntyre]

You know, Washington comes in now one of the hottest teams in the league. Like who's beating them?

[Colin Cowherd]

Right.

[Jason McIntyre]

They're just on fire with Jaden Daniels fourth down. Historically great. The headline will be claw abiding citizen. Eagles object to Washington's commands. By the way, great movie, Law abiding Citizen. I don't know if you've seen it. I'm on the Eagles here. Listen, I think a teaser bringing them from six down to pick them makes a lot of sense. But ultimately Washington, fourth straight road game. You know the teams historically who play in a fourth straight road game. Oh, and seven straight up. It's tough. You just wear down a lot of travel. One thing defensively and schematically. I'm curious. So Tampa Bay and Detroit played a lot of man to man against Jaden Daniels. Turning your back and let Daniels run. Philly plays a lot of zone and they mix up the blitzes. I think Daniels could struggle here. And I'm kind of with you. I smell the potential for a Philly blowout. I will add, I did bet jaden Daniels under 55 rushing yards. 55 yards is a ton for a quarterback.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, and he also does a lot of eight yard runs. He doesn't do a lot of 30, 40 yard runs usually. Yeah, he picks up a first down.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah. And by the way, I think the Eagles are going to be ready. Round three for fourth and three. Jaden Daniels Reed option keeper. You know they're going to be ready for that. For some reason Detroit was not coming off the off the buy. I ultimately whoever wins the turnover battle wins. Colin Washington won the turnover battle 50 last week. Do you think the Eagles are going to turn the ball over five times? Even three? Like unless Jalen hurts vomits all over himself, I don't see that happening. I'll take the Eagles to win semi comfortably.

[Colin Cowherd]

Same here. Tomorrow's headlines. Today Bill's Chiefs won potentially for the ages.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah. You know you remember Brady and Belichick and the Patriots betting against them was just stupid. They would just win every important game. Right. Starting to feel like that with the Chiefs kind of sort of. The headline will be take a chill. Bill Swifty's super sweet. Swallowed whole. Gary. The Buffalo Bills going into Arrowhead. Coward. I'm fired up about this game. I know all the numbers on. Mahomes is a small underdog. He's unbeatable. Andy Reid. Oh my gosh. I think the Bills can pull this off. I genuinely do. It's gonna have to be a Josh Allen game. I'm only over here. I think there's gonna be a lot of points like you and this feels like a three point game. Either way, you know, it's going to come down to whoever has the ball last and hopefully it's Josh Allen. Now the one injury concern is Taylor wrapped. The safety hasn't practiced.

[Colin Cowherd]

He has a history of injuries.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah, sounds like he's not going to go. Now the question is who fills in his spot? There is the kid Elam out of Florida who was a first round pick. He's kind of been a disappointment. He might have to shift into a cornerback spot and you move somebody to safety. This could be a big Mahomes game there. You know, he didn't do much last week against Houston.

[Colin Cowherd]

He didn't do anything. It was Travis Kelce and nothing burn.

[Jason McIntyre]

Well, we know, you know, playoff Kelsey is a real thing. You know, playoff Jimmy Butler. That's a thing.

[Colin Cowherd]

Playoff.

[Jason McIntyre]

Playoff Kelsey. Yeah, I mean it's. He's unstoppable. I will point out to people who want to say, well, the Bills offense didn't do anything last week in the win over Kansas City in the regular season. No Kincaid, no Coleman. And they were down there right tackle and they still move the ball pretty much with ease. I don't know, man. This I. I smell a bit of a shootout. I know a lot of people are looking at the under the totals 47 and a half. I don't get that. Yeah, these are two good offenses. A quick reminder, the teams that are here have not turned the ball over yet in the postseason. They're playing error free football. Somebody's got a break. I saw a stat from. I think Dan Orlofsky had it. The Buffalo Bills have an NFL record 12 games this season without a turnover. Now the Chiefs have gone eight straight without turnover. Something's got to give, right? These guys can't continue to play perfect games. I'll go Bills. I love the Bills. In a teaser leg up through the key numbers of three is seven to seven and a half. That that's my best bet is Eagles Bills teaser. Go Josh Allen.

[Colin Cowherd]

Tomorrow's headlines today. How about some tasty ones? What's the headline for The Bears next season with our new coach, Ben Johnson.

[Jason McIntyre]

We'Re getting a little speculative. Ben Johnson's a hot name.

[Colin Cowherd]

Hot.

[Jason McIntyre]

Can he build a culture? That's a big question. The headline in Chicago will be it's been too long. Chicago playoff hibernation finally over. Yeah, I think they make the leap. Listen, this was a really good team for stretches early and then Ibrah flu really coached him out of a lot of games. They kept blowing stuff late. The Hail Mary to Washington, they never recovered from that.

[Colin Cowherd]

They never did.

[Jason McIntyre]

Roster wise, if you look at this division, I think they stack up pretty easily.

[Colin Cowherd]

I think they've got some really interesting players at key spots.

[Jason McIntyre]

Yeah. And now the question is, can Ben Johnson build like a tough staff? Can Caleb. How quickly will he adapt to Ben Johnson? I think there's some real positives to take away here. And frankly, like you said, Dallas is cratering in the nfc. The NFC south once again is just like one team's going to get in. I don't know what to do with like the Arizonas and Seattle's of the world. I think Chicago has a legitimate case to make the playoffs this year with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.

[Colin Cowherd]

Tomorrow's headlines today, wild 48 hours for Liam Cohen who leaves Tampa for Jacksonville. What's going to be the headline?

[Jason McIntyre]

I get a sense you don't love this as much as I do. I think this is fascinating. Chance to coach Trevor Lawrence. The headline in Jacksonville will be Cohen back on his word. Liam Turnaround turns, jags around. Look at that. Trevor Lawrence in the back seat. Driving Miss Daisy. Good stuff. Listen, that division is ripe for the team.

[Colin Cowherd]

It's wide open.

[Jason McIntyre]

Remember the Texans? Like hey, anybody, does anyone want this? They couldn't. Nobody could take it last year. I just go back to this Jags team, Trevor Lawrence, they got some weapons. I like etn. I mean, you know, the wide receivers are solid. Young kid Brian Thomas looks like a major keeper. They just got to figure out the defense and Liam Cohen's smart play calling. Remember, there was supposed to be a big drop drop off for Baker Mayfield when they lost Dave Canales, the oc he went to Carolina. There was no drop off. Baker was outstanding. One of the best quarterbacks in the nfc. I think Trevor Lawrence can turn around. I think it's a huge loss in Tampa. I think Jacksonville's a 10 win team next year. Put me down for the playoffs for Trevor Lawrence.

[Colin Cowherd]

I don't think that's crazy. Finally, tomorrow's headlines. Today, what are we going to do with the train wreck Known as the Dallas Cowboys going forward. They still. I don't even know if they have a coach on the radar right now.

[Jason McIntyre]

It's bad. Now, I will say we've got some genius headline writers here. This has to be. I don't want to over promise and under deliver. This is a top three in my history doing this for like six years. The headline in Dallas will be shot through the heart, and Jerry's to blame. You give Dallas a bad name, Colin, Come on.

[Colin Cowherd]

Pretty good.

[Jason McIntyre]

As good as it gets. And I think we're starting to see shift over to, hey, Jerry, you had a good run. You got to let someone else be gm. This has been disaster after disaster a few years now. I'll go back to the Dak Prescott contract, the way he bungled McCarthy. Colin, it's all not good. Now I wonder how do you navigate that? Because Jerry is getting all the blame. Turn on Dallas radio. It's brutal. Look on the Dallas media. Everybody's pinning this on Jerry. He did not have an alternative game plan. When McCarthy said no, we know Dion was a pipe dream that was never happening. And now it's Brian Schottenheimer. Like, I mean, it's so bad that Micah Parsons has not gone in his podcast to chime in yet. Like, he doesn't know what to say. I don't. If you're a Dallas Cowboys fan, this is DEFCON 1 right now.

[Colin Cowherd]

No, no, this is. We're not trying to be hyperbolic here. This is a disaster, folks. When you don't. When you're the last team to hire a coach because there's always six or seven openings, you get the bottom end of the coordinators. And Jerry doesn't pay his coaches a lot anyway. He's not like. I mean, certain organizations will pay coordinators, and there are certain organizations that will not. Jerry doesn't pay coordinators. Big money or coaches. Big money.

[Jason McIntyre]

It looks like Washington and Philadelphia are going to dominate that division for at least.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm okay with it. Those are great, historic organizations. I'm fine with it. This is. This is bad.

[Jason McIntyre]

If this keeps up, up. I don't. You know, the NFL gives out prime time games to the great teams. I don't know that Dallas is going to be a big Sunday night team. I know that the ratings are good with Dallas, but this team probably by Halloween is going to be like, already thinking to 2026.

[Colin Cowherd]

I can't even believe it. I mean, if LeBron never goes to the Lakers, never shows up, what are they?

[Jason McIntyre]

People forget. They were like a 20 win team.

[Colin Cowherd]

Kobe's last 5 years. I may be wrong. I think they were like one of the bottom three. They were winning percentages in the league. They were. They were lost. Pete Carroll's the new coach of the Raiders. His college coach, Carson Palmer had Pete and he won a Heisman with him. Carson Palmer had Pete Carroll in college and he talked about what Pete right from the start will bring to the Raiders.

[Carson Palmer]

He's the greatest coach that I ever had the chance to play for. He's a future hall of Famer. He's everything you want in a coach and the Raiders organization. This is an exciting day, obviously for the future. You know, I know it's a three year deal, maybe a four year deal, but he's just. He gives you instant credibility, stability, maturity, and he's been there and done that.

[Colin Cowherd]

Yeah, I think. I think it's good. Hire little Silver to the Silver and black. I'm good with it. J. Mac. We had a fun week and two teams don't have a coach.

[Jason McIntyre]

It seems like McCarthy and the Saints is a marriage.

[Colin Cowherd]

Well, that's a. Let me tell you, that is a good get by the Saints.

[Jason McIntyre]

I just. He's got an uphill.

[Colin Cowherd]

I like all of these. Ben Johnson, Liam Cohen, Aaron Glenn, Mike Vrabel, Pete Carroll. If McCarthy takes the Saints, I think you have to go Robert Sala in Dallas. I think you. I don't think you have a choice.

[Jason McIntyre]

I don't want to wish that upon Robert Sala of better to go to San Francisco, be the dc, build things back up and then get a good job.

[Colin Cowherd]

I am not hearing great things about the Jets. Aaron Glenn staff.

[Jason McIntyre]

All right, let's just. I'm just telling you, give it the weekend.

[Colin Cowherd]

What do you mean, give it the week?

[Jason McIntyre]

Let's just see what happens. Because the gm. I know. There's one reporter saying a GM deal is done. Others are saying that's not true. A bit of a tug of war.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'll try to be positive through the weekend.

[Jason McIntyre]

Okay. But there's some stuff going on with the Jets.

[Colin Cowherd]

I'm around tomorrow if you want to grab a beer and cry on my shoulder. The word comes out.

[Jason McIntyre]

Why don't we go for a run in the rain?

[Colin Cowherd]

It's not raining. Not raining in LA tomorrow till late afternoon. All clear. Early start.
