All right, instant reaction. First of all, you know, I'm
a huge fan of Sean Payton and bow Nicks the combination.
(01:09):
But I mean tonight twenty eight to three over Cincinnati,
there's a couple of minutes left when I'm doing this.
I just think when you watch bow Nicks play with
Sean Payton, bow Nix does so many little things well
that nobody pays attention to. Have you noticed when you
watch bow next tonight, when his receivers or his backs
(01:31):
are out in the flat, that ball one hundred for
one hundred times is right out in front. They catch
it moving forward. It is accurate, it is on a line.
It's not a loopy pass where they have to wait
for it. That's NFL quarterback play. That's Tom Brady. The
ability to get the ball out quickly, the receiver has
(01:53):
the ball running. And I mean between Mims and Franklin
and Harvey and Courtland Sutton, they just have a lot
of guys who can run and catch. And bow Nix
is athletic and he had a bad pick tonight. But
you know, people forget this. Go look at the go
Look at Drew Brees second year with Sean Payton, his
(02:15):
interceptions went up. Sean Payton puts a ton on his
quarterbacks that tonight. They had motion on thirty five percent
of their plays. There is no hand holding, there is
no babysitting. You gotta be smart, you gotta be focused.
If you if you're if it's important for you to
(02:36):
be cool, if it's important for you to look this
way or that way, it's not going to work. This
is an adult offense for a smart, intense, laser focus.
Quarterback Drew Brees is intense. He still is bow Nicks.
You don't see a lot of smiles during the game.
It's all business, and that's what Sean Payton's offense demands.
(02:57):
I really like what they've done he and the I
like what they've done with the offense. You know, JK
Dobbins was a late ad. Jk's excellent. Troy Aikman talked
about it to night when JK is healthy, and you
know there's guys in this league that can't make it
through a seventeen game schedule. But JK Dobbins is an
excellent running back. He's got great instincts, really nice vision,
(03:18):
his instincts. I always feel JK Dobbins is one of
those running backs that's looking like eight to ten yards ahead.
He sets everything up really well. But I really like
watching Denver play the Colts game. You know, on that
final kick penalty, they should have won that game. I
think the roster is one of the four or five
best rosters in the league, and I think it goes.
(03:39):
It may not be Philadelphia, but I think it's in
the Detroit, Kansas City, Buffalo, Green Bay class. I think
it's that good. The pass rush doesn't feel quite as
dominant now Cincinnati, you know, bad offensive line. The Colt
shut down the Uncle's pass rush. But that's a really
(04:01):
good Colts offensive line. I think the Colts are going
to win that division. I think they may want it
going away. It's no shame in losing to Indianapolis. That's
a good team. But I like everything they do. I
just think Sean Payton, you know, you know what, I
find a lot of times, and the media does this
a lot. Fans do it all the time, but I
don't hold the fans to a higher standard. I hold
the media to a higher standard. A lot of times.
(04:23):
The media, it's really pervasive. If they don't like a guy,
then they'll criticize him. That they let their bias get
in the way. Sean Payton is better than ninety nine
percent of the coaches in this league, and he's got
a great eye for personnel, and a lot of coaches don't.
Andy Reid doesn't want to do personnel. Jimmy Johnson was
(04:44):
legendary ad it. Sean Payton's great with personnel, Jim Harbaugh's
very good with personnel, Shawn's excellent. I mean, look at
these skill gets. They don't miss on these guys. Franklin
Troy Franklin out of Oregon. Bo Nix's teammate feels like
a number three to me. There were four drop passes tonight.
He had one of them, but bon Nick still want
twenty nine to forty two for three hundred and twenty
(05:06):
six yards. So in that last touchdown out in the flat,
they just are always prepared. And again bon Nix throws
the ball down the field. It's not justin Field's dink
and dunk, you know it's it is. It's a big
boy offense. They're throwing that ball down the field aggressively
(05:27):
and you get some interceptions. Lway throw him, Nama throw him,
Brady threw him, Peyton Manning throw him, Josh Allen threw him.
I like my quarterbacks throwing the ball aggressively down the field.
And I think bo Nix is not only a better
athlete than his draft preview, I think he's got a
better arm. I thought he had kind of a Derek
(05:49):
car arm in college. I think it's gotten stronger. But
I just like his temperament. There's just no bullshit with Bonix.
He is just laser focused. He can take to coaching.
He'll bark right back. It's all ball, all the time.
So I like Denver a lot. I think they cleaned
up some things tonight. Cincinnati's a mess, but again, if
(06:09):
Joe Burrow played, they'd be a borderline playoff team, but
not a great team. Zach Taylor's fine. I don't think
he's necessarily special. I think he's fine as a coach.
I think the owner is the cheapest in the league.
I think the front office is mediocre. They don't have
a big scouting department, and I feel like Denver's got
now I think the richest owner in the sport first
(06:30):
or second. They're totally committed to Sean Payton in the
front office and the roster, So I think I think
Denver is on a short list of teams. I don't know.
I look at their personnel. I think I think if
you look at their schedule now, you look at their schedule,
they got a lot of w's coming and I talked
about this last week. Sean Payton's record in September and
(06:53):
his career is thirty and thirty. Now think about that.
Think how good Sean Payton all the success he's had,
his worst month easily easily October on he wins like
seventy five percent of his games is September. Why he
comes in massive playbook, a lot of motion, a lot
of sets, and he is demanding on his quarterbacks. And
what did you get in the first couple of weeks, Mistakes, penalties,
(07:15):
they just they just quite didn't have it all buttoned up.
Love what I see from Denver, Just love it. I
mean JK. Dobbins and Harvey Courtland Sutton who I think
Courtland Sutton's pretty good. I think he's a number one
got Franklin Mims and Bonex, great athlete. So a nice
win for Denver, a team I really really like. And
(07:38):
you know, Sean Payton can be a kurt and glib
for some people, but you know, I mean, that's the reality.
Some people are smart and they've got strong opinions. People
I found in my career people love strong opinions only
when they agree with him. And Sean Payton called out
Nathaniel Hackett. He was right, and he called out Russell Wilson.
(07:59):
He was right. He called out the previous regime. He
was right. He was right across the board. You just
don't have You don't have to like how it sounds.
But you can't watch that offense and not see the
play design. The play calling. Bo Nix is a hit.
He just that kid just fires. He throws the ball
(08:21):
down the field, and after his interception, he doesn't care.
It's very Andrew Luck. He doesn't care. He doesn't pout.
He goes to the sideline, looks at the pad, and
goes right back out there. I love Bonick so much.

Jets twenty seven to twenty one. You know these are
(10:06):
I mean, let's start with Miami. I would have moved
off Tyreek Hill last year. He got hurt Tonight, crossed
your fingers on his health because he's an amazing player.
I would have moved off Tua last year. Tua's cap
hit next year it's going to be higher than Josh
Allen and Justin Herbert's. But it's interesting. Justin Fields is
(10:27):
a tremendous kid, and he's a great athlete. Dink and dump,
doesn't throw the ball down the field. Tua doesn't have
the arm strength to go deep, but he's really good
in the pocket, and relative to NFL quarterbacks, he's not
a great athlete. But in the end the Jets, when
you have a quarterback who just takes off and runs
all the time, you get great highlights. But they had
(10:49):
three fumbles the twelve penalties, it's sloppy, it looks disorganized.
It's just sort of ad lib offense. And again, they've
got talent, you know, I think you know, Garrett Wilson
is obviously very good. Mason the tight end. I think
he's a really talented player, Mason Taylor, you know, Breece Hall,
(11:10):
brayln Allen before he got hurt. I mean, they've got
some nice playmakers there, but I don't think you can
make it. It's one thing if the quarterback runs justin fields,
I think is a run first guy. I never feel
totally comfortable with him in the pocket. He just doesn't
throw the ball down the field enough for me. It's
a lot of underneath stuff. And I don't know if
he doesn't see the field well or he doesn't trust
(11:31):
his instincts. But you know, he doesn't scare a defense,
he doesn't threaten a defense. He doesn't with his big
plays or with his feet, and I think those are
a great additive. But Caleb Williams won this weekend because
Caleb Williams can make big throws down the middle of
the field. I said this about Caleb Williams on the
Herd today on FS one, I said you can talk
(11:52):
about the running Caleb Williams multiple times against the Raiders,
multiple times against Dallas. He makes hard throws and he
throws it right down the middle of the field. Now,
Caleb's not afraid even after interceptions. He's gonna let it rip.
And he's got a big arm. Well, Justin's got a
big arm, and he's athletic. But I just don't feel
like he either doesn't trust the coaching, he doesn't trust himself,
(12:13):
he doesn't trust his targets. But he just doesn't push
the ball down the field. I mean, I'm looking at
the pass chart from Justin fields. It's all just little
tiny stuff underneath. Anybody can do that. That's not threatening
the defense. Either he doesn't see the field or he
(12:34):
doesn't trust people, but that's not that's not a franchise quarterback.
I mean, you gotta throw the ball down the field,
so franchise is going nowhere. And again, he's a well
like guy. He works hard, but sometimes there's just a
you havevity you don't you know, and some guys just
(12:58):
can make those consistent big and are willing to let
it rip. So I don't feel like it's hard to
judge the Jets. I mean that they're sloppy, they look disorganized,
there's penalties, but they're four games in. That's what Aaron Glenn,
by the way, criticized of the previous regime was, you know,
we're going to clean this up. Well, they're worse than ever.
You know, Mets fans tend to be Jets fans, So
(13:20):
it's a miserable last couple of days in New York
for sports fans of a certain group. I just I
look at the Jets and I'm like, I don't know
if they have the right coach. I don't think they
have the right quarterback. In fact, I wrote down it's
a really interesting quarterback class. I think Dante Moore is
the best I've seen, and I think Carr. I think
(13:44):
it's CJ. Carr at a Notre Dame. I think he's
really good. But the Jets are going to draft a quarterback,
The Raiders are going to draft quarterback, Cleveland's going to
draft a quarterback, The Saints are probably going to draft
a quarterback. I think Minnesota should draft a quarterback, and
I think the Rams will, although I think they'll keep
Stafford for another year, but Stafford next year will be
what thirty eight years old. So I think the Jets,
(14:11):
I mean, list you can say what you want about Cleveland,
but Cleveland's got a great defense. You can say what
you want about Minnesota, but it's got a great coaching staff.
The Jets don't have a lot. I like to have
some individual talent, but I don't know what they do
particularly well. I mean, when you watch the Jets, you
tell me, if you're a Jets fan, what are they?
I always say this, you can tell really good coaching.
(14:33):
You know, Mike McDaniel may not be a head coach,
but I think he'd be a tremendous coordinator somewhere because
when I watch Mike McDaniel's offense, I mean, there's certain
things you can't do with to it. He's not a
great athlete. He doesn't throw a great deep ball, especially
in cold weather. But I can watch Mike McDaniels and
I see an identity offensively. I don't love Chris Greer
(14:54):
the GM. If you have two as a quarterback, you
have to have a good old line and you have
to have a good backup. They have either. But so
I don't blame it all on Mike McDaniel, but I
can see what they're trying to do. A lot of motion,
a lot of sets, a lot of deception. I see
what they're trying to do. I don't know what the
Jets offense is. I don't know what the Jets team is.
They're not buttoned up. They've got talent. Everybody except Tennessee
(15:18):
I think has talent. I mean, Houston's got all sorts
of talent. But you know, I don't get it. I
don't see it. And I've said this, everybody's always afraid
of money and power in sports. Small markets are kicking,
(15:39):
but I mean, Denver's not a huge market. They got
a good football team. So does Green Bay, so does
Kansas City, so does Buffalo. New York teams are a mess,
although I will say this, when I watch the Giants,
I feel like I kind of know what they are.
With Skataboo, It's like in Dart, It's like those guys
are good athletes. They're they're gonna run the football. And
(16:01):
you look at their defensive front, Abdul Carter, Dexter Lawrence.
I mean they got dudes. I mean I know what
the Giants. The Giants personnel defensively up front. That's a great,
not a good, A great defensive line. They have a
unit that's overpowering. I mean they beat the Chargers. I
don't know what the Jets are. They just have talent here,
talent there. I don't think they look well coached. You know,
(16:21):
they pick up yards, they don't score enough points, they
don't sustain drives. There's kind of a mess of an operation.
But it's early. I mean, how much can I come
and hammer on Aaron Glenn? I mean, how much time
we got here? I don't know. I mean I think
I think if you look in the NFL right now,
(16:45):
we all know there's about six to seven to eight
really really good quarterbacks. Dak looks like one of them.
This year. Let's say there's ten good quarterbacks and there's
ten really good coaches. Well, there's only about ten really
good ownership groups. And I don't think the Jets are
one of them. I don't think the Dolphins are one
of them. I think Denver is learning. They're all learning
each other. But I think Denver's a forced to be
(17:08):
reckoned with going forward. Bow Nicks, Sean Payton, that money,
that ownership, and Denver's a cool place to live a
lot of athletes. I mean, I think Peyton Manning, of
all the places in the country he could live, I
think Peyton Manning chose Denver so it's a cool place
to live, beautiful, beautiful city. I think the Denver Broncos
(17:28):
have about a ten year run here with a lot
of doubs, and I think tonight it's the beginning of
a pretty special season for the Broncos. The Dolphins should
have moved off people. The Jets are what they are,
and there you go, instant reaction
