How do you recognize elegant design? It's in the details. 2025 Genesis GV 70, athletic lines, coop-like profile, SUV prowess. So here's the Bears coach, Matt Eber flew just an hour ago, discussing the mess in Chicago.

I think that's the most important thing that we do, that we have some steadiness here, but also make the necessary adjustments and changes that we need to make what's best for the Bears going forward. And everything's on the table. And it's important that we look at everything, and we take the time to get that done.

Matt, are you going to make a change of quarterback? No, Caleb is our starter. With that, Albert Breyer, joining us line, on a Monday. Monday morning quarterback. All right. So Ryan Paul said he's safe for the year and maybe next year. Where are we this morning? What are you hearing? Yeah, I mean, I think you look at their offensive staff and maybe there's some shuffling that happens there. I think the primary problem here, Colin, if you look at the makeup of the staff, they really don't have anyone who has experience working with a rookie quarterback before. It goes right on down the line.

Shane Waldron did a great job with Gino Smith, but when he got him in Seattle, he was already a veteran, worked with Jared Goff in Los Angeles, had Russell Wilson for a little while there in Seattle. Then you look, Thomas Brown, is the past game coordinator there? Does he have that experience? No, he was with veteran quarterbacks with the Rams. Carrie Joseph, is their quarterbacks coach. He is another one who doesn't have any experience working with rookie quarterbacks. So, yeah, I think a big piece of this, and a big question a lot of people around the League of asked is like, why aren't there more people on that staff when they decided they were going to offload Justin Fields and go to a rookie quarterback? Why aren't there more people on that

staff who have experience working with a rookie and working from the ground up with a rookie? Yeah, I think that's part of the hole right now and where they're at. The alarming thing to me, and I don't know how much of that game you watched yesterday, but there was, I mean, he took nine sacks and the offensive line wasn't great, but there were also plays where you could tell the wheels were turning, in his head. He's standing in the pocket thinking, and I think that caused some of the hits he took, too. Yeah. That's what Matt Hasselbeck said an hour ago in our show. Some of this is on him. I don't think there's been an ability to scheme up some easy layups, which young quarterbacks want.

Drake May's gotten better in three weeks than Caleb has a whole season. I want to go to this. So I was wrong on this. I thought the Steelers were tone-deaf offensively. Last three years, they couldn't get the O-line right, the run game right, the coordinator right. I'm like, I'm out. They just can't get the offense right. I could give Russell Wilson all the credit, but I'll give Mike Tomlin some. Justin Fields was four and two, and he moved off him. And most defensive coaches, they don't want, you know, and he nailed Arthur Smith. How much of this is Russ?

How much is Tomlin? How much is Arthur Smith? Because the deep ball, Albert, it is back in Pittsburgh, run game deep ball. This is their history. All of them deserve credit. All of them. You know, I'll start with Tomlin. There were a lot of people in that building in the locker room, in the front office, on the coaching staff,

who wanted to stick with Justin when they were four and two. Mike Tomlin had the instincts to know that if I go to Russell Wilson now, I'm giving myself two shots at it rather than one. If you stick with Justin Fields, that's probably it for us, right? Instead, you roll the dice to the guys won a Super Bowl before, and if it doesn't work out, you can always go back to Justin. I also believe that Tomlin thought it would open up a part of the game with George Pickens is the deep threat that they didn't have as much under Justin Field.

So that's happened as well. And then I think, you know, Arthur Smith and Russell Wilson both deserve credit for the way that marriage has come together. And what I mean is, you know, Arthur Smith being able to retrofit the offense for Russell Wilson, but just as much as Russell Wilson accepting the reality of who he is as a player. And what they've done there, the movement concepts, the run concepts, the past game, they're marrying all that stuff together the same way.

they did in Seattle when Russell was at his best. And it's easy for a coach to do that. It's not as easy to get Russell to accept that. I think there was a period in Russell's career when he was in Denver when he wanted to be something different than that. And he's come off of it. And I think that's a huge credit to Russell that I'm willing now to go back to what I was in Seattle.

I'm willing to really embrace playing the way that I was playing in Seattle. It's basically having the humility to say I was wrong. you know and there are that maybe the coaches in seattle who deployed me a certain way were right and so i think that those things have come together too so i think tomlin gets credit for having to go against what a lot of people in his building wanted i think arthur smith gets the credit for fitting the offense to what russell's best at based on studying his entire career and i think russell deserves a lot of credit for having the humility to implicitly say i was wrong in denver and maybe the people that I worked with in Seattle were right all along.

Yeah. So, listen, Rams, Dolphins tonight, we're looking ahead. But I do want to look back to the first game in Daniel Jones. Listen, it's not working. This is the two bad teams in the league. I think Dallas is awful. Carolina has got a little bit of a positive vibe right now. And if you watch Carolina Giants, Carolina, I would feel pretty good.

Bryce Young looked like he was comfortable. Last couple of weeks, he's got a star receiver. A rookie receiver from the South, he's really good player. Daniel Jones, they are now, they're moving off him, right? Like it's official, they will draft a quarterback. Yeah. Well, so right now, they're in this place where they're not making the playoffs. I think we can agree on that, right?

Two and eight, it's not happening. So they're effectively playing out the string now, and the way his contract sets up, this is similar to Russell Wilson last year in Denver. He has injury guarantees for next year. And so there's a 20th, $23 million injury guarantee, which means if he can't pass a physical next September, then the Giants run the hook for that number.

But more urgently, if he can't pass a physical in March, then 12 million of that 23 million vests is fully guaranteed. So we're talking about at least an eight-figure decision that they've got to make here on whether or not they're going to keep rolling Daniel Jones out there. Oh, by the way, without his starting left tackle, Andrew Thomas is down for the year. So, you know, at this point, I think the decision sort of has to be made where they're going into their buy coming out of it. Drew Locke should be their starting quarterback. Daniel Jones probably should be on the bench.

Yep. And you're not supposed to make decisions based on these things, but the reality of it is, everybody knows what the score is. He's not going to be their quarterback in 2025. So they have to make the move to put them on the bench and put them on ice for the rest of the year. And, you know, then the Giants are going right back into that quarterbacking wilderness. And they're doing it in a year that I don't think is going to be a great one to get one out of the draft. Yeah. So it's, I said this.

There's a couple of issues with the Niners. Now, here's the good news. Detroit, Kansas City, and San Francisco played poorly and won. These are good teams. That's, I mean, listen, Baltimore's defense was awful last Thursday, played poorly, and they won. So they're a half. We all know that. They're a have, not a have not.

Jets played poorly, couldn't compete. Dallas played poorly, couldn't compete. The halves have nots. The halves can play poorly and win. San Francisco's special teams were a mess. I'm going to throw something else at you, though. A big chunk of this league is using variations of this offense. It's been ripped off, right?

When I watched San Francisco, I thought Brock Purdy was fine yesterday late. Fine. It doesn't feel like the Debo Jet Sweeps catch anybody off guard. I mean, Kittle had a couple of great moments. They feel like they're getting on. old, the league is using variation, so everybody knows this offense. They're seeing it in practice. I feel like, I don't know. I feel like there's a big move coming here, Albert. I don't feel they're a trophy team. I don't think they can handle it of a pull up a trophy this year.

Yeah, well, actually what you're talking about is why they drafted Trey Lance in the first place was Kyle Shanahan looking at it and saying half the league runs my offense. So half the league is practicing against my offense every day. And so when he was making the decision between Mac Jones and Trey Lance in 2021, it was, well, I can have Mac Jones come in and run my offense, or I can bring in Trey Lance and then grow my offense and expand my offense and turn my offense into something else. And obviously, that didn't work out.

And then I think they'd get, you know, a different version of Mac Jones. I'd say a souped up version, a more athletic. version of Mac Jones and in Brock Purdy, or at least how they saw Mac Jones back in 2021. Yeah. So they are running, you know, a variation of what they've always done. Now, Kyle's always been really good at moving the ball forward. But, you know, like you said, like if half the league is seeing the offense in practice every day, well, a lot of the concepts you're going to throw at them aren't going to be foreign

anymore. And that's sort of where it's at with that. And I know Kyle's aware of it and has really aggressively tried to move to doing different things like more gap scheme runs instead of just pure zone running. There are a lot of things that they've done to try to combat that, but it's definitely a factor. I would say this, though, all right? They're five and four right now. Do you know what the record was after nine games? It was six and three. The year before that, after nine games, they were five and four. The year before that, after nine games, they were four and five. Yeah. So they're right where they've been the last three

years after nine games. So based on the talent there, and obviously the coaching staff, I, I, I, I, I, I, wouldn't rule out the idea that they could go on a run here. So Philadelphia a month ago, we were lining up the life preservers for Nick Sariani. I mean, it was man overboard. And four games later, they put certain boundaries around Jalen Hertz. He's throwing like 20 times a game. They're young, young defensive players now. Dean Carter, the Toledo Corner, Mitchell, they're all emerging as really, really good players. Something. happen. Is Seriani get credit for it, or was it the team getting healthy? The coordinators getting developed? What happened to Philadelphia? Because a month ago, they couldn't handle

a press conference. It feels like we were talking about like Belichick going there, right? Right. Yeah, I think it's interesting. I think I made this point to when I was out there, Colin, that the NFC East is like the SEC, or the expectations are ridiculous and coaches are always on the hot seat, you know? And that exists in Philly, no question. I mean, This is a guy who inherited, what was it, a 4-12-1 team, right? And in 2021, went to the playoffs his first year, went to the Super Bowl, his second year, lost both of his coordinators going into his third year,

back slid a little bit, but still made the playoffs in his third year. So that's playoffs three straight years and goes into year four, and his seat is scorching hot. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy if you really kind of like look at it. And so I'm not sure in that environment that they live in, that there was enough respect given to the amount of change there was in that building. Okay?

You have a completely new offense coming in with Callan Moore. You have a completely new defense coming in with Vic Fangio, and you've lost a serious chunk of your leadership infrastructure with the retirement of Jason Kelsey on offense and Fletcher Cox on defense. That's a lot to replace. And I think if you look at it, like if we're just taking a sober look at it, take the scheme part out of it, this is still a really talented team. team, right? This is still a team that's got a lot of good players on it. A.J. Brown,

Devante Smith, you know, Dallas Goddard, they bring in Sequin Barclay. The lines of scrimmage are still really good. And if, you know, a couple of things fall into place, like the young defensive backs start playing really well, then you can get yourself to a place where you look at this and say, this might be the most talented team in the NFC. So I think with Philly, it's just a weird thing. And maybe it's the NFC in general. Or our perspective on on that team in particular, it's just a little bit different. And I think maybe all that leadership scheme infrastructure going out the door and all a change happening led to some bumps early on that have been smoothed out now.

Yeah, they looked apart. They played poorly for half that game and blew out Dallas. Albert Breer, Monday morning quarterback. Great seeing you as always, my man. All right, thanks, Colin.

To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack.

I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so you all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Then you're finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really?

Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people. people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Open your free iHeartRadio app, search Learn the Hardway, and listen now. Yeah, it's, I think right now, the most impressive team in terms of talent is Philadelphia, Detroit, not quite as athletic defensively, is second. San Francisco Unhealthy's really, I don't know if there's a third.

I really like the Eagles, you know, it's funny. we had this three-year stretch when the NFC was down. And Mahalms, Lamar, Herbert, Josh Allen had emerged in the AFC, and the AFC's top was way better on the NFC's top. Now what's interesting is I think there's a bottom to the AFC, and I mean, the top's still great. The second layer is like Pittsburgh and Houston, the Chargers. You start looking at the NFC now, like Washington,

a real team. They're not ready to hoist a trophy, but it's a real team. Don't forget about Green Bay. They had to buy their real team. Philadelphia, Detroit, I think, have the two best rosters in the NFL. There's an argument San Francisco is third, and they're all NFC teams. And what's interesting about that, I said this going into this year. I said the worrying part, the concerning part for the Cowboys was in the last couple years, Green Bay was too young, Detroit wasn't ready, San Francisco was obviously great. But Aaron left the conference. You had this moment for Dallas last couple of years

where they were beating up on the middle and the bottom of the NFC. The middle and the bottom were pretty damn weak. And now the middle of the NFC is Arizona. The middle of the NFC is the rebuilt ram defense. Like the middle of the NFC was really soft for a couple years. And the Cowboys did well in the regular season. They were beating the Washington's and the New York Giants and the Carolinas, they were beating it up.

Now, the Giants and Carolina aren't much, but the middle of the NFC now, Washington, I mean, Atlanta, Rams, Arizona, Minnesota, Dallas isn't as good as those teams. Those are the middle NFC teams. So you have to take advantage of your opportunities. You know, it's like when Phil Mickelson, if Tiger took a tournament off, go play the tournament.

Take advantage of it. If Nadal took a tournament off, you know what I mean? Like there's just opportunities here. When you're in this tunnel in pro sports, you get breaks. Yonis gets hurt in the playoffs. Okay, the Eastern Conference is easier. But, I mean, look at this. For our radio audience, I apologize.

The NFC playoff picture. Some of these teams were awful years ago. Look at the middle of the NFC now. San Francisco, Rams, Washington, Minnesota. That's kind of the, middle. We know Philadelphia's talent, Detroit's town, that's the top of it. But man, there's a thick middle now. You know, Dallas thought coming into the season, they would be middle up. Their bottom looking up at both classes, the very best, which is small in the middle.

I just wonder, are you overreacting a little bit to the results this week? Because I think Washington's an upper echelon team in the NFC. You sink their more middle class. are. Well, no, let's look at Washington. So they've lost to the Ravens, they've lost to the Steelers, and they lost to the healthy buccaneers. The three best teams they've played, they've lost to. The first game was Jaden Daniels... Well, and the

Bucks were totally healthy with Baker. That's a good team. You're facing Todd Bowles out of the gate. I don't read much into the Tampa result. I think Detroit and Philly looked apart. I think Detroit and Philly those are elite rosters. So Washington, you're right. They lost to

Baltimore 3223, and they lost. to Pittsburgh 28, 27 a game. They probably should have won yesterday. I know they had their most punts of the season. Look at the yards per play. They didn't do much. Certainly. There was some struggles in the first half.

Listen, step up in class against Tomlin, who owns them. I mean, they got, let's be honest about Washington. We love the story. They got the fake punt gift and a fumble at the one yard. That could have been Pittsburgh taken a knee with four minutes left. They could have easily killed the clock on that thing. So your takeaway from that game is Pittsburgh is definitely a super. superior team to Washington?

Absolutely. On the road, gave him a gift special teams a fumble at the one. Go look at the stats. They average like double yards for play. Not Washington's best performance is clearly.

Well, it's funny. It's funny. They didn't play well against Baltimore, Pittsburgh. It was off a buy. I mean, starting running back, Brian Robinson,

who's so good. The three best teams they face, their 0 and 3. Cincinnati? Aren't they good? Arizona? They wallop there. Cincinnati's not good?

Worst defense in the league. They led the Raiders by double digits twice in the second half and lost both games. Also, Arizona. They went to the desert and beat Arizona like a drum. I think Arizona is closer to the top of the NFC than the middle. You would have Arizona ahead of Washington?

Oh, yes, absolutely. I'm just going to remind you the score was Washington 42, Arizona 14. Arizona's gotten their young guys right. I think the top of the NFC is Philadelphia, Detroit. Yes. And then I think the middle is Arizona, San Francisco, L.A. Rams, Washington. Washington, Green Bay, I think is, Green Bay and Arizona are really close to the top of the NFC. But because of injuries to Jordan Love or a couple of sputters early, I don't know.

All right. I'm just going to remind everybody that the last three wins for Arizona are 28, 27 over Miami and Tua's return. All right. Miami's a dumpster fire. Chicago, which has players quitting and the coach is about to get run. And the lowly jets, they don't need an introduction. Blowing out a couple of those. dominating.

All I'm going to say this. Jemak always qualifies stuff. It's the NFL. Yeah. If you watched Arizona and the Jets play, Jets got players, don't tell me the Jets don't have talent. That game was not competitive. It was a blowout.

Blowout. Going to Miami, when two was back, I saw Miami go to Buffalo and have them beat. They went to Arizona, went to Miami down 10, came roaring back on the road and won. Arizona's had some weird comebacks, right? They had the comeback against the Niners,

which was total luck. and then they had to come back against Miami. I just don't know. The lucky ending against the Chargers. You use the word luck a lot. Well, the Chiefs are lucky a lot. The 7-0 and one-score games. Show me right now.

Honestly, guys in the back, show me the field goal at TEP by Denver to win the game. Show me this. You're calling that luck. That is the special teams coach for the Chiefs saying, guys, bring your heat. And we know athletes aren't motivated on every play of the game. Look at the utter domination by Kansas City.

Seven guys got, watch this. Holy crap. Seven guys got through. Here's my favorite part. Chiefs slept walked through the. Look at this thing. I've never seen anything like that. So I read a couple quotes from the Chiefs players,

and I guess they had seen some tendencies on film from Denver's blockers, and it's awful. But I guarantee you, if you look at how many kicks inside 40 yards were blocked in the last five years, it's got to be like under four. I mean, this never happens. All I'm saying is, isn't it ironic how Kansas City's always the best team in the league when it matters on big plays? If not, you use luck. Luck doesn't even exist. I thought I saw Andy Reid walk into the locker room and pull a horseshoe out of his pants and just, hey, everybody, look at this.

We got lucky once again. Here's the radio call in Kansas City on the not luck, but preparation scheme block. Lutz waiting for the snap placement is down Lutz's kick is undefeated The Kansas City Chiefs Block

a 35-yard field goal in 10 I mean You think that's Yeah Now hey And you know what they're going to beat the bills Probably goes 17 and 0 in the regular season Love it

I Yeah Yeah Luck is if Denver's kicker on a dry field comes in and slips. Twist an ankle, shanks it left.

That's luck. That ain't luck. That scheme. Jake Moody? Unlucky? Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern 9 a.m. Pacific. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.

all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but yeah, yeah. But just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack, so I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table

right now. So, Thank you for finishing that sentence. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And in recognition of mental health awareness month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversational. with so many incredible guests. I'm talking. Trip Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it.

And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross. Because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth. Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions,

Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person.

Your guy, Sam Darnold and the Vikings got their seventh win yesterday, but it was pretty sloppy. Three interceptions, almost a fourth that was negated by penalty. Kevin O'Connell is still confident in his quarterback.

We're still 100% confident in Sam. It would be craziness not to be. In fact, I was looking at it as a great opportunity to see growth and continue to move the team. Because we're going to check back in on this moment and use it the right way. and Sam's going to be better off for it. I truly do believe that. Yeah. I thought he got a little conservative

with a play calling. Playing not to lose. Very protective. I didn't like it. The schedule is just Cupcake City for the Vikings. I keep trying to think like, oh, they're going to miss the playoffs.

But, Colin, Tennessee? Considerable favorites. Chicago, flaming dumpster fire. Arizona's a loss. Atlanta. I don't know what. Atlanta is all of a sudden. Like they're touch and go, and it's like Chicago.

I think the Vikings probably still get in the playoffs, but Darnold's got to tighten it up significantly, right? Yeah, I mean, you're getting the best of Sam Darnold, but he is Sam Darnold. It's Carson Wentz. There's a lot of talent. It's indisputable. He's reckless.

I don't think he's Baker Mason. Baker isn't as strong or athletic as Sam. Sam can make plays that Baker can't. Baker throws a better ball, a more accurate football. Next up, Drake May out dual Caleb Williams yesterday. May didn't have a big day statistically, threw for a buck 84 and a touchdown. But his leadership is standing out to Gerard Mayo.

Drake has addressed the offense numerous times. I think this is, it goes back to now he's starting to really take control of the offense and the team. I mean, when you go out there and you perform at a high level, that's the first step. The next step is to bring others with you, and I think he's on his way to doing that. Yeah, I think you have to feel pretty good as a Patriot fan. This is the worst roster that Drake will ever have. And I don't know if the coach is right, but when you watch Drake May,

he is now looking like his comp, which was an unrefined, unpolished Justin Herbert, big, move well, nice arm, had bad feet. His mechanics and his feet were all messed up in college. But if I was a Patriot fan, I'd watch this and think, God, if we get him a top, tight end and... We upgrade the offensive line. There's something definitely there. I like him a little more than you.

I think Herbert, if he turns into anything close to Justin Herbert, that's a massive win. Final story is quickly, Dolphins Rams tonight. Still no word on Tyreek Hill, who's dealing with a wrist injury. McDaniel said he's doing everything he can to play tonight, but the line is going toward the Rams. They are now two and a half point favorites. This was like pick a minus one all week. That Tyreek Hill numbers in four games at SoFi are unbelievable.

on that turf indoors. I mean, he just cooks. If he plays, it's going to be a great game. If he doesn't, I would definitely, I like the Rams here. Well, the Rams are still not healthy on the interior of their O-line. They're playing a rookie center. They don't want to. They're playing pretty marginal left guard.

So it's still not a great O-line. Is Christian Wilkins playing the de-tackle for the Dolphins? They're not going to do inactivs until a little later today. So, I mean, I think the Rams could have a little problem running the ball tonight. through the interior, but this is the healthiest the Rams have been in a while. And their defense, as we've talked about, is young and young

defenses. We've seen this with Kansas City. If they do get hurt, they get healthier, faster. Oh, look at this. Okay. So the Rams have officially activated Steve Avella and Jonah Jackson for tonight's game with the dolphins. That's big. They're going to eat. I love I officially love the Rams tonight.

We don't do a lot of totals here. Now, they're finally, the first time all year, The Rams are officially the Rams tonight. So Pooka's in, Cooper Cups in, Tyron Williams. No excuse it. This is the bet. Now, they don't have Tyler Higgsby, the tied end. But they went and got Seattle.

He's not one of their big four. No, no, no. No, this is big news. So Steve Avila, Jonah Jackson, healthy. The O-line is finally 100% healthy. Dolphins defense is largely crap. Boy, AFC East, outside of the bills. You've got the jet stink.

Dolphins are a tire fire. Patriots are three wins. Gosh. That Jets thing didn't work out for you. Can we just make an agreement that we're not going to talk Jets anymore for like... Oh, you believe me. I'm done. Like yesterday was like, I'm done.

I think the only question is, is Aaron retire? I mean, that's it. That's what I asked Hassel. Well, I asked Woody Johnson. Aaron, sorry, we're cutting you or you can retire. Take the dead cap hit. In a great quarterback draft class, you could do that. In this class?

I mean, who's available? Sam Darnold. Doesn't matter. Rogers is not. You're not winning. Do you want this toxic nonsense throughout the? season next year? J-Mack with the news.

Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Hurd-Ly News. I don't know if it's toxic. It's just not good. Every time Roger's talks, we're talking about him. That's toxic to me. Well, he makes news.

He's a newsmaker. All right, we'll see you tomorrow. Alive in Los Angeles. It's The Hurd. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk
