Jon Gruden on Joining Barstool, NFL Week 11 Picks, and Commanders-Eagles Recap
The vibes were high and low simultaneously to start the show as the Philadelphia Eagles took down the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. Max is flying high while PFT is forced to confront the reality that his team might be exactly who the haters said they were.
PFT CommenterThe 2024 Washington Commanders are frauds
Bernie Madoff. Sam Bankman-Fried. The 2020 election. The 2024 Washington Commanders. [Frauds]. Sometimes the haters are right. When the haters are right, you gotta say, great job haters.
Between Jayden Daniels looking like a human rookie for the first time and Cliff Kingsbury's play-calling entering its annual hibernation period, the Commanders have some soul-searching to do. PFT pointed out that Cliff's history of late-season collapses is officially on the table.
PFT CommenterKliff Kingsbury's offenses inevitably decline in the second half of every season
This gets at going back to Kliff [Kingsbury]'s entire existence in the second half of seasons. So back at Texas Tech, here's his record as a head coach... His offense looks completely different right now. We had Austin Ekeler. That's pretty much it.
The Bears are Broken
Big Cat is at a breaking point with the Chicago Bears. The firing of Shane Waldron has turned into a focal point for his rage, and while most people see a struggling rookie quarterback, Big Cat sees an entire organization that is toxic to talent.
Big CatShane Waldron was the primary issue behind the Bears' struggles
Shane Waldron is the Antichrist. Shane Waldron caused all the problems. Shane Waldron, every war tragedy, anything you can think of in history. Shane Waldron was the issue behind it... The only way I can tell myself that the Bears have a chance is that Shane Waldron was deliberately holding the Bears back in every capacity and now everything's gonna be different.
He isn't just blaming the coaching; he’s looking at the entire infrastructure that has failed to support the number one overall pick.
Big CatThe Bears' organization has ruined Caleb Williams
The organization's a fucking joke... None of it makes sense. Everything sucks. The organization is a joke. They've ruined Caleb Williams.
Week 11 Picks and Preview
Moving into the Sunday slate, the guys broke down the biggest matchups including Ravens-Steelers and Chiefs-Bills. Big Cat is still a believer in the Baltimore machine, even with their defensive secondary struggles.
Meanwhile, Hank is calling his shot for the most nonsensical result of the weekend in the Lions-Jaguars game. He’s leaning into the chaos of the NFL schedule, even if the stats don’t back him up.
HankThe Jaguars +14 against the Lions is the NFL makes no sense game of the year
I think so. This is like, this is the 'NFL makes no sense' game of maybe the year... NFL makes no sense. There's not like stats behind it. I am very close. But that, but it happens every year. There's always games where it's like, how the fuck did the Lions lose to the Jaguars when the playoffs come?
The Chiefs travel to Buffalo in what should be the game of the week, but a massive injury to Harrison Butker has flipped the script for some.
PFT CommenterThe 49ers' offense is the second best in the NFL even without Christian McCaffrey
The 49ers are getting better on offense. So their offense without Christian McCaffrey for most of the season, they are plus 1.4 net yards per play, which is the second best offense in the NFL.
Coach Jon Gruden in Studio
In a legendary moment for the program, our newest coworker Coach Jon Gruden joined the show in-studio. He talked about his love for Hooters, his obsession with watching tape, and his genuine excitement to be part of the Barstool team. He didn't hold back on the state of the league, specifically how the constant carousel of coaches hurts the young quarterbacks trying to learn the game.
PFT CommenterThe Chargers' defense is legitimately elite
The Chargers are the fourth team in the last 40 years to hold opponents under 21 points in their first nine games of the season. Only been done four times. Defense is legit. Legit.
Coach also had some strong thoughts on the Bears' offense, noting that the issues in Chicago aren't just on the offensive line, but on a rookie holding the ball too long and a lack of real route running.
Jon GrudenThe Detroit Lions win because of their pre-snap recognition and execution
What I love about Detroit is they win in the pre-snap, meaning they'll change the tight end, they'll change the receiver, they'll motion two or three times before the ball is snapped and they'll let Jared Goff pick a play... I call it RCE. You recognize the defense and when you know what defense they're in, now you communicate a play to beat that defense.
He specifically called out the obsession with wide receiver screens, preferring to see the "Corvettes" in the Bears' receiver room actually run routes.
Jon GrudenA rookie quarterback shouldn't be blamed for sacks if they are holding the ball too long
There's too much of him. You know, there's 40 times he's carried the ball. There's 40 times he's been sacked... You can't blame the offensive line for all these sacks. I just encourage him, you know, to get rid of the ball. Sometimes the best play you can make is throwing the ball away because that's the only good play you could make.
Fyre Fest of the Week
Hank is officially spiraling into a 31-year-old midlife crisis. He’s looking to ditch his perfectly fine Audi to lease something "sicker," all in the name of chasing points and a temporary dopamine hit.
Jon GrudenBrock Purdy is a much better quarterback in person than on television
I was at the Bucs-49ers game last week and with McCaffrey back and Jauan Jennings back... Purdy is a lot better quarterback when you see him live. This guy's strong. He's, he's loose. He's gutty, man. Gritty. Love him.
Max also revealed his pitching stats ahead of the upcoming Barstool baseball game, and it’s safe to say the hitters are licking their chops.
Jon GrudenI hate the three-point shot in basketball
I do love basketball. I was Bobby Knight's ball boy. I just don't like the three-point shot. I think it's too much. It's way too much three points.
If Max throws a 64 MPH meatball to a pro, we might actually see the first ever recorded home run to land in a different zip code.
