1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: So last night you had yourself the Cowboys and you

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: had the Eagles, and before the game he gets started.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's spitting on everybody. It was very it was very weird.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this guy from the Eagles

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: is totally at fault, although he's totally at fault. Did

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott spit on him first? For the record, I'm

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: no fan of Dak Prescott. I'm just not just I

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: am unimpressed. This to me is second tier stuff. Tony Katz,

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, good to be with you. I'm just

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: thankful that the NFL season has begun. Now that it

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: has Who's gonna win the Super Bowl? No, that isn't

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: the question we ask I'm pretty sure it's the question

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: we asked. Tyler Brooks joins me right now. He is

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: the host and creator of Best Available. Find that on

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: the YouTube's Best Available YT is where you find it.

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: If you want to know what's going on in the pros,

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: in college, the breakdowns, everything else. You talk to Tyler

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Brooks and before we get into the season, what some

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: teams are seeing, what problems they're having. Of course, you

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys with this trade to the Green Bay

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Packers for Micah Parsons and the insanity of it that

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: he wouldn't play anymore. Really for Dallas seems to be

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: the case before we get to the game last night.

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: How dysfunctional is this Dallas Cowboys team? And how correct

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: is Stephen A. Smith to laugh at them at every second?

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I mean, it's one of the

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: more unique situations in the NFL.

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: Right.

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is both the owner and general manager, so

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: he is still in charge of all pro personnel decisions,

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: while Stephen Jones, his son, does help quite a bit.

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: It's so funny too, because in reality that situation should

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: frankly be much worse than it is. A meddling owner

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: that also makes personnel decisions is usually a recipe for disaster.

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: I'll give the Cowboys credit.

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: I think they still draft quite well for you know

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: how quote unquote meddling Jerry Jones is. But this offseas

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: kind of feels like the true downturn for this team.

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: Making a personal spat into trading away your superstar player

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: for quite frankly not a lot signals to me that

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: it's probably time for.

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: A changing at the guards there. I am a bit worried.

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is, I still really like the

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: offense in Dallas. I think Dak Prescott I think I

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: agree with you. I think he is a second tier quarterback.

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: I think you can still win with that when you

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: have the weapons that Dallas does in the passing game

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: with Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens and Jake Ferguson's a

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: rock solid tight end, and their offensive line is quite good.

50
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: So it's a really weird situation for Dallas because there

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: is a lot of pieces that are quote unquote good enough,

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: but the defense is clearly such a huge hole, and

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: you trade away your best, most competent player.

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: There's just it's a very chaotic season. I imagine all

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: the off.

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: Field distractions from this offseason are really going to catch

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: up to them quick.

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: Despite what I thought.

59
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: It was a pretty solid performance by them last night.

60
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: Talking to Tyler Brooks Best Available the YouTube channel Best

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Available YT and you can actually check out his video

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: how Michael Parsons unlocked screen bassed pass pass rush. It

63
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: is over there. Now to the game last night. We'll

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: get into some other teams, the spitting, the nonsense. The

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: Eagles pull this thing out, but I don't think the

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: Eagles looked exceptional in any way. If you are an

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, are you saying, hey, a winner's a win

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: and move on and everything's gonna be good and let's

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: get some more super Bowls and let's go and Jalen

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: Hurts is the future or are you saying, Okay, there's

71
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: still some things to work on.

72
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: I mean, some of that you can credit to just

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: sloppiness from the start of the season. I mean, they

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: had nine penalties for one hundred and ten yards like

75
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: boards in the length of a football field. In penalties

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: like that's not something you want to see. But frankly,

77
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: there are some things I'm worried about. I mean, Landon

78
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Diggerson leaving the game with a back issue. He's been

79
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: dealing with that offensive line you know, doesn't have the

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: depth that at once did, so losing another guy Dickerson

81
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: could be a real issue there. And if you notice

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: in the second half of that game, as Dallas dialed

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: up more pressure, Jalen hurt To really really struggles when

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 2: he doesn't have that first option open or the scrambling

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: rushing lanes to take off when there's pressure in his face,

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: his decision making falls apart. And then on the defense,

87
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: the secondary is a very very big concern to me.

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: I love Cooper dejene. I think quiny and Mitchell will

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: get his feet under him quickly enough. But it's not

90
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: like the entire Cowboys game plan in that game was

91
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: to just attack a Dori Jackson to the point he

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: got hurt or maybe just benched. It wasn't really clear

93
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: what was going on there. But when there are weaknesses

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: in a secondary, a good offense like Dallas's is going

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: to attack the weak link over and over again. And

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: I swear the first three drives for Dallas, Dori Jackson

97
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: was maybe targeted twelve times and was getting burnt almost

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: every time, regardless of who he was covering, and it

99
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: really allowed Dallas to get down the.

100
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Field with ease.

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: So I think those two big things are legitimate concerns.

102
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: They can be fixed in theory, but they worry me

103
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: quite a bit because this is a team that's trying

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: to defend a Super Bowl run, and the league is

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: so deep nowadays. I just with the you know, addition

106
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: of parsonton Green Bay, you know, who knows what Detroit's

107
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: gonna be. I think there's a lot of competition in

108
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: the NFC that you know, the Eagles really, you know,

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: have a couple of flaws that showed up early that

110
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: teams are going to watch on film and try and

111
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: expose in the coming weeks.

112
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: So now we take a look at what happened before

113
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: the game and Jalen Carter Philadelphia spitting on Dak Prescott,

114
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: uh from the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe Dak Prescott spit on

115
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: him first, Jalen Carter saying it was a mistake, it

116
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: won't happen again. This is the kind of thing that

117
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: gets you thrown off a team. This is the kind

118
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: of stupid that could really impact is does the NFL

119
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: get involved here? Are they going to say? Are you nuts?

120
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: This is what you're going to show our fans. You

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: haven't even snapped the ball once. Here's the fine. Enjoy yourself.

122
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: So there's actually a precedent for spitting on a player.

124
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: Believe it or not, it is not a suspension.

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: It will likely be a fine. I know there's conteversion

126
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: about Dax spitting first, but if someone's spitting on the grounds,

127
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: you cannot spit on them physically, Especially in the NFL,

128
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: when a ref is immediately adjacent to you. Just bad

129
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 2: decision making, and it was kind of funny to me.

130
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: A lot of the nonsense that was going on in

131
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: this game was all from former Georgia Bulldogs in Pickens,

132
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter, and Nolan Smith, although we can argue about

133
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: Nolan Smith's quote unquote taunting penalty. But yeah, dumb decision,

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: weird game, that entire start of the game with you know,

135
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: a guy that to me looks like he tore his

136
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 2: achilles on the opening kickoff and all this downtime and

137
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: then the rain delay. Kind of a really weird way

138
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: to kick off the season. But you know, in totality,

139
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: I thought the game was quite.

140
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 3: Fun to watch.

141
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Talking to Tyler Brooks, you find his work at Best

142
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Available YT on the Twitter, not the Twitter, I'm sorry,

143
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: on the YouTube's Best Available YT is where you find

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: his channel everything you want to know about college and

145
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: pro ball. You take a look at what at the

146
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: schedule for the NFL. You take a look at the

147
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: at the matchups coming week one? What are your two

148
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: primetime matchups the ones that you have to watch?

149
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: All right, I'll give you a very obvious one, and

150
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: then I'm going to give you a random one that

151
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about.

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: So the obvious one is going to be that Sunday

153
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: night game.

154
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: We're getting a potential AFC championship matchup early in the

155
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: year with Baltimore and Buffalo. I mean, these are the

156
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: two guys and quarterback and josh Allen Lamar Jackson that

157
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: finished one to two in the MVP voting. Those offenses

158
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: are high flying, there's new faces, there's so much to

159
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: be excited about with both of those teams. And at

160
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: the end of the day and these two Super Bowl contenders,

161
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: someone's going to end up oh to one, and then

162
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: that leads into do you face an OHO and two scenario?

163
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: And two in the NFL is a deathnell. Maybe not

164
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: so much with the seventeen game schedule, but during the

165
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: sixteen game period it was something like, I think I'm

166
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: just throwing a number out here, but something like between

167
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: eight and fourteen percent likelihood of making the playoffs if

168
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: you start oh and two, so oh to one, you

169
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: not want to start, especially against another guy you are

170
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: competing with seating in the AFC. I think that game

171
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: features so much star power, you know, well, run offenses,

172
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: exciting splashy defenses. It'll be the game to watch, but

173
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: if you want a really random one. If you're a

174
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: truth sicko like me when it comes to football, I

175
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: cannot wait to see what happens in the Las Vegas

176
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: New England game. I think these are two franchises that

177
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: have been down on their luck. They have a lot

178
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 2: of new pieces. There's a lot of excitement and hope.

179
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: With Pete Carroll taken over in Vegas and Mike Ragel

180
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: taken over in New England. I think New England is

181
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: a sleeper to be a potential playoff team. I think

182
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: the way they've overhauled their you know, roster, culture, coaching staff,

183
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: all of that. I'm an absolutely huge fan of Drake may.

184
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: I think the rookie running back Travon Henderson is exactly

185
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: the kind of you know, hard nosed running back that

186
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: Mike Rabel wants to be. That tone center with a

187
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: revamped offensive line.

188
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: I love the defensive.

189
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: Additions they made, and then on the other side, like

190
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: Ashton Gent is one of the most exciting running back

191
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: prospects of the last decade. You know, Gino Smith and

192
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll reuniting on a new franchise. It's it's going

193
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: to be muddy than all those one o'clock games, but

194
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: I think it's one.

195
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: If you have the ability to watch it, you should.

196
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: I think it'll give us a really good idea of

197
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: if those two teams that have been so brutal for

198
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, if they're trending in the

199
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: right direction.

200
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: Does Tennessee regret getting rid of Rabel because he says

201
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: seem to be a guy that that players rally around,

202
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: He seems to understand them from his playing days of

203
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: course in New England extremely well. Does Tennessee regret this?

204
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: So from the things I've heard from the outside, and

205
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to call them concrete sources, but you know,

206
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: you chatter around the league at the COMMA and things

207
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: like that, but the general sense around the league is

208
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: it almost felt like the Titans were setting up able

209
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: to fail so that they could move on. And I

210
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: just think that was incredibly unfair of them to do

211
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: by you know, trading away aj Brown and all the.

212
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: Moves they made.

213
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: They were just disastrous to put him in a sense

214
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: of failure, because you know, it was maybe a situation

215
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: where they wanted to bottom out and try and reset

216
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: the franchise, but with such a damn good coach like

217
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: he would not let them tank. I think he is

218
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: a tremendous tent. I think he is the perfect edition

219
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: for that team, and the fact that he's coming home

220
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: to the team he played for is very exciting. I

221
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: just I really think that culture set. All of the

222
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: draft picks they picked were true Mike Rabel culture guys.

223
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: Will Campbell, you know, wasn't my favorite tackle prospect from

224
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: a talent standpoint, but from an attitude standpoint.

225
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 3: I don't care about the talent. I want Will Campbell

226
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: on my football team.

227
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: I think there is just so much to be excited

228
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: about if you're a Patriots fan. But at the same time,

229
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: you're a Patriots fan, you know a couple of bad

230
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: years you can get over. I think you can win

231
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: ineno Super Bowls in your lifetime.

232
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: Let me move over to where some other real questions exist,

233
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: and it's in the quarterback position. Let's start with the

234
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. It's Daniel Jones, who was the washout there

235
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: from his days with the Giants, and I don't know

236
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: a hundred percent if it's his fault. Bounces gets to

237
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: Indianapolis to compete against Anthony Richardson, who's to de facto

238
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: number one as he was drafted in the first round.

239
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: His talent, Jones was drafted in the first round, but

240
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Jones beats him out. So the question here is is

241
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Jones now a better quarterback? Is Anthony Richardson really that bad?

242
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: And does Chris Ballard, the general manager of the Colts,

243
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: really have to get fired and really quick?

244
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

245
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: So it's a really complicated situation, and I think, more

246
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: than anything, the decision to start with Daniel Jones's self

247
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: preservation by Shane Styken and Chris Ballard. I don't blame them.

248
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: Do you want to keep your job? You want to

249
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: be good enough to keep your job. I totally understand that.

250
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: It sounds like from everything I've been told, Richardson showed

251
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: really like legitimate improvement in training. Gamp like, his release

252
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: is quaker, his decisions are faster, he seems really bought in.

253
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: He's putting in the extra work all of that.

254
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: The problem and why he likely lost the starting job

255
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: is the consistency and the pre snap stuff like you

256
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: see him dislocating his pinky in the preseason. That was

257
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: a protection call missed by him, and Shane Styken has

258
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: been on record the reason Daniel Jones won the job

259
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: is that he's just more consistent in the pre snap

260
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: stuff to the point where he might not be a

261
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: more explosive playmaker, but he's not going to completely screw

262
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: things up with a missed assignment, and that's why he

263
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: ultimately won the job. That being said, the talent around

264
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,359
Speaker 2: the Cult is so good, but Jones is such a

265
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: you know, he's.

266
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: So risk averse.

267
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: I don't know how dynamic the offense.

268
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: Is with him.

269
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: His average depth of target or how far he's throwing

270
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: down the field is about half the cartage of Anthony Richardson.

271
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: Now, Richardson led.

272
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: The NFL last season, so shouldn't be a huge surprise,

273
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: but it's so low. I think it limits a lot

274
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: of what makes the Cults playmakers so effective. Like Alex

275
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: Pearce is a tremendous deep downshield threat, Michael Pittman can

276
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: be effective intermedia and deep Josh downs you know, will

277
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: probably get a lot of workload.

278
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: I mentioned Tyler Warren will get a lot of workload.

279
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: I just I think it really hamstrings a lot of

280
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: what the offense can do, and it makes it easier

281
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: to game plan against. So it's probably the safer option

282
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: for psych in a ballad.

283
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,239
Speaker 3: Which I can totally appreciate.

284
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: I guess the only way Richardson's ever going to get

285
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: better and like hone in on that you know top

286
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: and talent, is by playing games, and it's not always

287
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: going to be pretty, but it's how you learn. And

288
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: I just I think from a long term franchise standpoint,

289
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm frustrated that he didn't get the opportunity to start

290
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: with how much you know from everything I've been told,

291
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: you know internally and with the beat and just how many,

292
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: like how big of strides he made this offseason.

293
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Well, I as somebody who my team, if you will,

294
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: I called it, And if you could just throw six

295
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: yards down the field and hand it off to Jonathan

296
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: Taylor and throw six yards down the field and hands

297
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: off to Jonathan Taylor, that is a recipe for some

298
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: levels of victory there. But the other quarterback conversation is Pittsburgh,

299
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to be your starter? After the

300
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: horrific stint in New York with the Jets, with the

301
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Achilles and then just a nonsense season his attitude is

302
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: worth it.

303
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: You're talking to a longtime Green Bay Packers fan, and

304
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: you know by the and it got very exhausting. I

305
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 2: will say, I don't think i've seen him in the

306
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: news as much since he officially signed with Pittsburgh. So

307
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 2: if you can avoid all of that, I think it's

308
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: totally fine. You know what's funny is if you watch

309
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: the tail end of the Jets season last year, when

310
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: it felt like Rogers was fully healthy, thought he was

311
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: pretty damn good.

312
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: That being said, I don't know.

313
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: If how he forty one forty two at this point,

314
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if his body's going to hold up

315
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: for a full season at that age, you know, with

316
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: the Achilles injury a couple of years ago. What's really

317
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: interesting to me? I just think that's the whole thing's

318
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: a mess. But I think the offense has enough toys

319
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: where maybe they can be functional. I think he is

320
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: an upgrade over what they had last season, and obviously

321
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: the addition of DK Metcalf makes that a lot more interesting.

322
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: But this is a team that I don't know what

323
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: the upside is, but I know the floor is high

324
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: enough where.

325
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: They'll be competitive.

326
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: So if Rogers looks like prime Aaron Rodgers. I think

327
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: this is a playoff contender, but if not, I think

328
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: this is just kind of one of those middle of

329
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: the road teams.

330
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: Quickly before I let you go your Super Bowl pick.

331
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's gonna sound biased, but I really think

332
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: the Packers have a lot of what they were missing

333
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: this offseason by adding, you know, the Mica Parsa's train,

334
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: but also drafting Matthew Golden in the first round, they

335
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: were missing an alpha wide receiver along with all of

336
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: their weapons. And I really, after doing all the film

337
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: study throughout the pre draft process, I really believe he

338
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: has the chance to be a number one receiver because

339
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: he can do so much with his speed and technique

340
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: as a route runner. I think they will you play

341
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: against Buffalo.

342
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: I really like Buffalo. I think this is their year

343
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: to meet in AFC. I think it's a.

344
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: True toss up, but I'll probably go Buffalo. I just

345
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: think that's a tortured enough fan base. I think Josh

346
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: Allen is just such a superhuman at the position that

347
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: he can carry that team to victory.

348
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: His name is Tyler Brooks and you find his work

349
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: over there on YouTube. Best Available, Best available YT check

350
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: it out for yourself. Tyler, I appreciate it. More is

351
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: coming up on Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today

352
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: two
