Speaker 1: to bring up something called cap casualties that we don't

21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: talk about often, but it's at least on the outside

22
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's a really big thing. And then

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,160

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: And let's talk some football, Okay, dokey. We had a

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: little breaking news right before we hit the record button,

38
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: and it was a topic that I find pretty fascinating

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: and it was something that you just do not hear

40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: every day. Now, obviously the landscape of gambling has greatly changed,

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: not just in the National Football League, but in professional sports,

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: every league, football, baseball, basketball, golf, you name it. Besides

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: some of the international markets where they've been gambling on

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: sports forever, but domestically here in America, we have dramatically pivoted. Right,

45
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: gambling has become legal. Similar things have happened with marijuana.

46
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, my parents talked about marijuana

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: like crack. Now it was a little different with gambling because, uh,

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, I knew a lot of people growing up

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: that gambled. Now, obviously you have to go to Vegas

50
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: casinos depending where you live. You live in the northeat Jersey,

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: but gambling has become much more mainstream, and the NFL

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: specifically because it's the number one thing we bet, and

53
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: it's by far the best sport to bet. Uh has

54
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: embraced it and the NFL embracing it and getting in

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: bed and doing business with these people. The players benefit,

56
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: you know why, because they have a revenue sharing system

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: that the revenue coming in they split with the players.

58
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: Television revenue, gambling revenue, you name it. But the number

59
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: one thing that you can't have, going back to Pete Rose,

60
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: going back to the Black Sox, going back to Tim

61
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: Donagy when he screwed they were at the time my

62
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. I don't even pretend to like them anymore.

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: There are a joke franchise. But when he screwed the

64
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kinks because he was in bed with the mob.

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: You can't have people involved with your sport, coaches, officials,

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and specifically players gambling on your product. You have to

67
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: separate church and state in this situation. So Calvin Ridley,

68
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: who is a very very talented player, had a very

69
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: bizarre season, just left the team for quote unquote mental

70
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: health reasons. No one really knows beside him and maybe

71
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: the team why, but he just disappeared. You know, he

72
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: missed a bunch of games last year, and it was

73
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: announced today that he bet on the Falcons on several three,

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: five and eight team parlays. And as someone it's if

75
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: you've listened me for a while, you know, I think

76
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: the space is very fraudulent. I think a bunch of

77
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: media people, have you followed them, a lot of them

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: are like scared of their own shadow, and now they

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: are in business with gambling companies like you guys don't bet.

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: I've been. I've been betting for twenty years now. Some

81
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: people do, and we know it's very easy to spot

82
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: the people that actually gamble on sports. I just hate Yeah.

83
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: I just think you're very fraudulent if you talk about

84
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: gambling and you won't actually put your own money on

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: different games. Now. I don't care how much you put,

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: whether it's a hundred dollars, whether it's five dollars, whether

87
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: it's Drake putting three thousand dollars under UFC fight. But

88
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: if you're not gambling and you're trying to talk about it,

89
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: I think you're a fraud. But the NFL, and listen

90
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: on social media's right now is like they're so hypocritical.

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: When Calvin Ridley got caught, it's a little weird at

92
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: least the information that we have right now when I'm

93
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: recording this how he got caught. I guess he placed

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: a bet through Florida, through a specific sports book online,

95
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: and that sports book is the one that gives the

96
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: NFL their information. Maybe they flagged his name. The NFL

97
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: caught wind of it, they suspended him for a season,

98
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: And you're gonna see a lot of different media people

99
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: say it's too harsh paint Calvin Ridley as the victim.

100
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: He is not the victim. You have to come down harsh.

101
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: You have to make an example out of the situation

102
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: because it's a pretty nominal amount. He bet fifteen hundred dollars,

103
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: right for a guy that was set to make eleven

104
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. Money is all relative, right, some people. If

105
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: you're betting ten dollars, well, if you're only making two

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: hundreds a week, would be a lot of money. If

107
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: you go, uh, you know, some guys were a hundred

108
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: million dollars and he's bet in ten dollars, it's not

109
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: very much. That's why some people, you know, you see

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: you here read some of these stories about Phil Nicholson.

111
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: He's been seven figures on NFL games. Well, he's worth

112
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. So it's not necessarily about

113
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: the amount of money you bet to win. It's you

114
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: can't have your players, you can't have your coaches, you

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: can have your executives, and you can't have your officials

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: betting on the game. That that cannot happen. We say

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: it all the time during the season, how it feels

118
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: like some of these games are ricked and that's with

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: the officials who you know, you hope part gambling on

120
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the game, but if that ever came out, they would

121
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: have massive, massive implications. So I have no problem with

122
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: Roger dropping the hammer on Calvin Ridley. I think Calvin

123
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Ridley there there. When I was in the NFL when

124
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: gambling was illegal in the NFL, was not involved. It

125
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: was specifically told when in training camp two players to scouts,

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: two coaches, gambling will not be tolerated. You cannot do that.

127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: Whether two dollar or whether it's a hundred thousand dollars,

128
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to gamble. There is one, uh zero

129
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind that he knows right and wrong

130
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: in this situation. And he pushed the envelope and he

131
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: got caught, and now he got suspended for a year

132
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: and part again spent for the year. Is he's the

133
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: first and you have to send the message to the

134
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: rest of the league. This will not be tolerated. We're

135
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: all gonna profit from this. This is gonna be lucrative

136
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: for everyone involved. Hell, I'm in bed with these gambling companies.

137
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: Is lucrative for everyone right now, and who knows if

138
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: it stays at this level. But gambling is not gonna

139
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: go away, specifically with the NFL. I'm a little hesitant.

140
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: I think the NBA and like the Major League Baseball like,

141
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna gamble in your sports. But

142
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: we're gambling on the NFL. We've gambled on it before

143
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: I was born, and we'll gamble on it well after

144
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm gone. So the NFL knows this, their players need

145
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: to do on this, we're all gonna profit of it.

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: We can't be involved on it. We're just gonna take

147
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the profits. Right, We're not gonna place any bets because

148
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: we can't with the integrity of the sport. And Calvin

149
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Ridley he's a moron. I mean, period, point blank, that

150
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: that cannot happen. He did it um and now he's

151
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: paying the price for it. A hundred bet cost him

152
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: eleven million dollars. Calvin Ridley is a big time talent.

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: Now clearly he's got some off the field issues separate

154
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: from this that he had to figure out disappearing from

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: the team last year, but went on the field. Calvin

156
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Ridley is a high end talent and now we're not

157
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna see him for a year. And I think it

158
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: puts everyone else in the league on notice, and to me,

159
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: that's a positive thing because you cannot have this happening. Uh.

160
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Some other things that I wanted to talk about. Well,

161
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: before listen to Aaron Rodgers situation, I'm ready for it

162
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: to be over. Uh. You know, by the time you're listening,

163
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: maybe there's clarification, maybe he's announced. I mean he claimed,

164
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know if he specifically claimed, but

165
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: there have been rumors that he was gonna make a

166
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: decision before the the tag deadline, which is tomorrow at

167
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: four o'clock Eastern one o'clock Pacific. Uh. Obviously because that

168
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: impacts his teammate Davante Adams, who obviously if Aaron Rodgers

169
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna say, DeVante is gonna say, but they will need

170
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: to tag Davante more than likely. Like it's there's a

171
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts. If Aaron Rodgers were to announce

172
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: he's leaving a K I demand a trade. You gotta

173
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: get rid of me, and they're gonna trade him, it

174
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: would be one of the biggest moments in sports. He's

175
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: a multiple time m v P. It would be like,

176
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little different because Lebron was a

177
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: lot younger, but Lebron's decision is one of the you know,

178
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: uh tipping points in professional sports. Star quarterbacks do not

179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: announce they're gonna leave for free agency. Brady did it,

180
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: but he was forty three years old. Peyton Manning got

181
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: cut Aaron Rodgers after winning back to back m vps.

182
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: His team has been back to back number one seeds.

183
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: He plays for the Packers, an absolute powerhouse brand. They're willing,

184
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean all reports they're willing to pay him fifty

185
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. It's clearly his best chance to win.

186
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: He loves his co It feels like he's integrated back

187
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: in with the front office and they're on the same page.

188
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: He has by far the best teammate he's ever had

189
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: who happens to be a wide receiver. Uh, it would

190
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: be pretty nuts, it really would. Now if he leaves

191
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: like cool for me. I mean, I'm open to talk

192
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: about it, but I'm an NFC guy over an f

193
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: C guy. I hope he stays with the Green Bay Packers.

194
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I know you better believe Fox hope he stays with

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Uh. If you were to leave, though,

196
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: it would it would have somewhat. I think it would

197
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: be a Lebron decision type moment. Now, there are also people.

198
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: In Mike Sandoz article today on The Athletic, he had

199
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: a quote from a personnel director that says Rogers has

200
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: the Packers right where he wants them, and the way

201
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: I took that as a little bit like the way

202
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: that Clutch and Lebron operate when they're on the Calves

203
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: or the Lakers. They're like the puppet master. They're telling

204
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: them everything that they want them to do, and they

205
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: have all the juice and right now, and let's face it,

206
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: it is very very rare in the NFL, unlike the

207
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: NBA because even non Lebron, like a lot of players

208
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: have juice. Steph Curry's brother in law is on the team.

209
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: He's not any good, uh. James Harden gets to do

210
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: whatever he wants wherever he goes. Kevin Durant does whatever.

211
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: In the NBA, it's very very normal for the top

212
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: six seven players in the NFL or the NBA to

213
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: tell their management, coaches and general managers exactly what they want,

214
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: who they want, and when they want it, and those

215
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: teams immediately capitulate. In the NFL, that's not the way

216
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: it works. The greatest player of all time had no

217
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: sway in his own organization and with his head coach,

218
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: last general manager, Belichick never gave a ship what Tom

219
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: Brady wanted. Tom Brady had to wait till he was

220
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: forty three years old, went to Tampa Bay to have

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: people listen to him. The NFL is not one to

222
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: just give in. If you watch the Joe Montana documentary,

223
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh didn't give a ship about Joe Montana's feelings,

224
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: his desires or anything about him. Right that that's not

225
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: the way NFL people think. And honestly it's been healthy

226
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: for the league that way. But the Packers are a

227
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: little are in a weird spot. They have no you know, uh,

228
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: contingency plan. Jordan's love is not a good player, and

229
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: I do think they're kind of stuck. So whatever he's

230
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: going to demand, Gouda Kins and it's not the worst thing.

231
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: You keep Aaron Rodgers, you bring in some of his people,

232
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: and who knows what he's gonna demand if that's the case.

233
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to say we saw last

234
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: year he had some demands and they listen. We saw

235
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: when he gave that press conference when he came back

236
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: from training camp that he didn't feel like they listened

237
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: to him. And some of it made sense, like, hey man,

238
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna cut this fringe wide receiver and I

239
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: think he can help us, why wouldn't you ask me? My?

240
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: You know what? I think I'm the guy throwing to

241
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: this guy, And that made sense. But do I want

242
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: this guy to like have impact on whom I backup

243
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: special teams corners? And maybe he's not asking for that.

244
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's just as simple as, hey man,

245
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask for a couple of things on offense.

246
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw this out there. I want you to

247
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: listen to me and to me. If that's the case,

248
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy. I want you to stay. I'll listen

249
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: to you, and let's try next year or in the

250
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: next couple of years to win a ring. But if

251
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: he leaves, you know, I think Bronco fans would be

252
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: pretty damn happy, and I think the Packers would be

253
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: somewhat s o l because I don't know what they

254
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: would do at quarterback. They'd have a lot of picks.

255
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Unlike when you trade Jamal Adams

256
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: or when you trade some of these positional players, there

257
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: is no guarantee that team is gonna be any good.

258
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: And we've seen time and time again that when you

259
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: have these big trades with players, it you know that

260
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: team doesn't that team kind of gets screwed, right, That

261
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: team ends up getting a pick in the top fifteen

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: when you trade a quarterback. Look at the Lions. The

263
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: Lions traded Matt Stafford for two first round picks. The

264
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: first pick they're receiving is pick thirty two. So if

265
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: you if you're forced to trade Aaron Rodgers with the

266
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, that pick is that minimum gonna be in

267
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the twenties. So you would never trade Aaron Rodgers for

268
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: three picks in the twenties. But that's part the deal.

269
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: And ideally if he forces your hand like that's not

270
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: what you want to do. And with other quarterbacks, like

271
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that the NFL, the NFL teams are

272
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: blowing up Seattle about Russell Wilson, and there were also

273
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: reports about teams blowing up the Raiders about Derek Carr.

274
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: Now listen, like Aaron Rodgers, no different with Seattle and

275
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. If you take away Russell Wilson and

276
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: you take away Derek Carr, who the hell is playing quarterback?

277
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: That this is not some random position. This is not

278
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: a star tight end or a star safety. This is

279
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: your quarterback. If you don't have one, you will immediately suck,

280
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: immediately be competing to draft in the top ten. So

281
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: if i'm these teams, no matter how great the offers are,

282
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: and let's face it, the offers for Russell Wilson are

283
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: probably outrageous. There might be Howie Roseman might be calling

284
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Seattle and be listened. I'll give you my three first

285
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: round picks this year. I'll give you my first round

286
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: pick next year, I'll give you Jalen Hurts to hold

287
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: you over, and I'll give you another third round pick.

288
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Like it is a lot. That is enough to You're

289
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a meeting this week. There are meetings happening

290
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: in Seattle and with the Raiders. Why because when you

291
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: have these, if you live in a home, let's say

292
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: your home, especially now it's all time highs. Let's say

293
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: you have you bought your home back in the day

294
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: for six grant and right now it's worth one point

295
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: eight million dollars if you wanted to sell it. Well,

296
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: if someone knocked on your door right now and offered

297
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: you three million dollars for your home, you go, damn,

298
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: that's a lot. But then you go, well, I don't

299
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: really want to leave the community, and I live some

300
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: I need somewhere to live. I kind of like my home.

301
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I would like the money, but

302
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: then I would just have to buy another home that

303
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: is really expensive too, Like I don't really what's I

304
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,359
Speaker 1: don't want to do this transaction. And that's where ultimately

305
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: I think Seattle and even the Raiders are gonna fall.

306
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: Like could they get especially the Raiders, I mean, could

307
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders get two first round picks and two second

308
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: round picks and a player for Derek Carr? Sure? But

309
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: then who's gonna play quarterback for Josh McDaniels. The quarterback

310
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: draft sucks? Uh, Like, who's anyone gonna you know, the

311
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: Commanders want him, they have no quarterback to give you.

312
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: The only thing it would make sense would be like

313
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: a Russ Derek some sort of swap. But what's the

314
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: point in doing that? So I yeah, I don't know.

315
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the the offers on. All these

316
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are probably insane, are absolutely outrageous, but you still

317
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: need someone to play quarterback for you, right. So that's

318
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: where I think that if we don't see any of

319
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: these star veteran quarterbacks move beside Deshaun Watson, and even

320
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: I was reading Albert Brier today, maybe it was Peter

321
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: King that wrote the problem is these teams do not

322
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: feel comfortable training for Deshaun Watson at the premium of

323
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: three first round picks and two second round picks when

324
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: he has these legal situations hanging over him. Right, it's

325
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna break the bank for your quarterback, which

326
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: I would gladly do if he didn't have this off

327
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: the field baggage. And it makes it very, very complicated

328
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: because the Texans are the one team they want to

329
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: get rid of him because he doesn't want to play.

330
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: It's just time to move on. These other teams need

331
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: someone to play quarterback for them. Oh my god. The

364
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: where you pay a premium for good, yet you really

365
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: just like want to pay a premium for great. Jerry

366
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Jones said years ago, I've never been disappointed paying a

367
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: premium for a premium. You see what Dak Prescott. They

368
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: paid a premium for Dak Prescott. The problem is Dak

369
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: Prescott is not Aaron Rodgers, is not Patrick Mahomes, is

370
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: not Josh Allen. It's why he leaves a little to

371
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: be desired. Right. It's like if you paid up if

372
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: you bought a house over the last year. You've bought

373
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: into the stock market over the last year's specific stocks.

374
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: You paid a premium and right now you know the house,

375
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: you're probably good. The stock market you'd be down. It

376
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: would be a problem. And when you go into free agency,

377
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: because the top players do not hit free agency, that

378
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: does not happen. Look look at the top players in

379
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. If if they do move teams, they are traded,

380
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: right Khalil Mack, Jalen Ramsey. Those type players they are moved,

381
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Joey bos Nick Bosa, Miles Garrett, just even non quarterbacks,

382
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: they never sniffed free agency. Even a guy like Stefan Dicks,

383
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: he was traded for a first round pick. Trent Williams

384
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: demanded to leave and that's how he moved teams. He

385
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: does not he last year he hit free agency only

386
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: because during the trade they had to put in the

387
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: contract language that he couldn't have been franchise tag because

388
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: if he could have, the forty Niners would have franchise

389
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: tagged him because they almost lost him. Guys like Trent

390
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Williams never hit free agency. So the type players that

391
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: are in free agency are players that teams. Every team

392
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: has the same amount of money, every team can afford

393
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: to keep any sweet player That's why all the great players,

394
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: even if they do get close, they get franchise tag

395
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: because teams like, I'm not losing that guy, and the

396
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna get paid are good players, are

397
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: good starters. Lake and Tomlinson, the guard for the forty Niners,

398
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit free agency. There is gonna be a

399
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: bidding war on him. He's gonna become because he hit

400
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: free agency, and and all it takes is two or

401
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: three teams been on you to drive up the price

402
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: supply demand. He is going to immediately become one of

403
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: the highest paid guards in the league. He's a good starter.

404
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: He's not quentn Nelson. Quinnin Nelson would never sniff free agency.

405
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: The Colts wouldn't let him get close. Right. Whoever the

406
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: best pass rusher is on the market will get way

407
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: more money than his actual talent would demand. You know why,

408
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 1: because the boats of the Brothers aren't ever getting into

409
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: free agency. Khalil Mack never got to free agency, Miles

410
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: Garrett doesn't get close. So you got to be very

411
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: very careful because ultimately you're gonna pay top dollar. You're

412
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna pay seventy five cents on the dollar for any

413
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, first or second day player that you want

414
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: to acquire now that could be an eight million dollar

415
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: player that's really a four million dollar player, that could

416
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: be a fourteen million dollar player that's really a nine

417
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: million dollar player. And if the guy is really good

418
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: and ultimately is an above average starter, you're okay with it.

419
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: But where you get in trouble in free agency is

420
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: when the guy turns out not to be good and

421
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: you paid a premium, then you got yourself problems. And

422
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: it happens all the time because the NFL is not

423
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: a plug and play leak. It's just not. It's very

424
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: complicated because schemes, because coaching, because the language from team

425
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: to team. UH, A lot of coaches think they see

426
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: something and then they want to change it once they

427
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: get the player. It just creates a lot of why

428
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: they're just a lot of holes. Unlike like, if I

429
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: signed a top player in the NBA, for the most part,

430
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna do exactly what he'd done the last team.

431
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: If I signed a star third baseman, if he just

432
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: plays like he did, I just plug and play. He

433
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: plays third base, I plug him in the lineup. But

434
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: if I signed a linebacker, and my scheme is a

435
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: little different, and I asked him to do something different

436
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: than what he did at his previous spot that made

437
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: him a good player, then my investment immediately looks terrible.

438
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: And that's what I think you've got to be very

439
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: cognizant of, and I think gms and coaches are, But

440
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: then sometimes they get the player and they're not and

441
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: they lose sight of the reason why they signed him

442
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: and what that guy was good at. And that's why

443
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of just historical misses

444
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to NFL free agency. And part of

445
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: it is just the amount of money you have to

446
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: give the player. The other thing that's happening right now,

447
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: and when when I worked in the office, you obviously

448
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: work all season long on the free agents, right so

449
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: you kind of split up the free agents between three

450
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: or four people in your in your front office, and

451
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: you grade them throughout the season. As you know, you

452
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: play teams, you right up the whole team teams that

453
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: you're not playing. You spend time, you know, on the

454
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: on the non weeks when you're advanced scouting or whatever,

455
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: and you have downtime, you you evaluate all the free

456
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: agents your general manager evaluates all the free agents, your

457
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: pro personnelity evaluates all the free agents, and basically, by

458
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: the time the season ends, you have everybody graded. And

459
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: then there's a separate group of players who are under

460
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: contract who are not set to be a free agent.

461
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: But it's pretty clear that because of teams cap space

462
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: or because of maybe a team's emerging younger player, that

463
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: that guy is going to be cut. And in the business,

464
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: we called him a cap casualty, and you get an

465
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: idea by the end of the season and specifically in January,

466
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna keep this guy at that number.

467
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: And we talked about it last week. A huge part

468
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: of the NFL combine our teams going to players that

469
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: are on their team that they want to keep on

470
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: their team and telling them, I need you to take

471
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: a pay cut. Let's say you have a you have

472
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman who makes twelve million dollars and you

473
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: want to keep them on your team, but you go,

474
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: I can't afford to keep you at twelve million dollars.

475
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: I want you to take a four million dollar pay cut.

476
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: And his agent can either say, you know it's a

477
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: good spot, You're not gonna get a longer term deal

478
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: on the open market. Take the pay cut, it makes sense,

479
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: or you can find a guy like a Marie Cooper

480
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 1: who the cowboys are like, listen, you're either gonna take

481
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: a pay cut or we're gonna cut you. And Mark

482
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Cooper goes, I'm just had to make twenty million dollars,

483
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: and if I hit the open market, you know, I'll

484
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: probably not make twenty million dollars. But I know that

485
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: if I refuse to take a pay cut, someone will

486
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: give me a three year deal at maybe seventeen million

487
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: dollars a year and guarantee me more money than the

488
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. So Mark, it's easy for Mary Cooper

489
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: and his agent to go, no, I'm not gonna take

490
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: a pay cut. So if no one is willing to

491
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: trade for a Marie Cooper, which I think is kind

492
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: of you know, up in the air right now, because

493
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: teams go, well, I don't really want to pay a

494
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: Mariy Cooper twenty million dollars. But let's face it, if

495
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: you want to acquire a Mark Cooper and he gets cut,

496
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: and he hits the free agent market, and unlike free agents,

497
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: he's he's immediately eligible to sign. It's still gonna cost

498
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: you fifteen sixteen million dollars and you're gonna have to

499
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: bid against other teams. So it might behoove you just

500
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: a trade for and just eat that extra couple million

501
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: dollars if you have the cap space, because it can

502
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: ensure that you get him on your team. And that's

503
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: what all these teams are dealing with. So over the

504
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: next week, we know the free agent crop which is

505
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: going to change with the guys to get franchise tag.

506
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: And I say it all the time about the franchise tag.

507
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: The franchise tag is a mechanism and is a huge

508
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: reason why the NFL is so much more popular than

509
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: the other leagues because star players, like if the NFL

510
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: was the NBA, Davante Adams would be gone from the

511
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers because they wouldn't have this mechanism to

512
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: franchise them. And listen, does franchise suck a little bit? Sure,

513
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: but you still get paid the average of the top

514
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: five salaries at your position. And Davante is going for

515
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: his third contract and he's probably a bad example. Orlando

516
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: Brown and Jesse Bates and some of these other guys

517
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: that are gonna have their first big contract get mad

518
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: because they go, I want a long term deal, but

519
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: they still get paid. If you're left tackle, you know,

520
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars for one year and you're eventually obviously

521
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: there's a risk. In the NFL, injuries are just much

522
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: different than the other sports. But for the most part,

523
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: you know, the history of guys getting hurt on franchise

524
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: taxes very very small. You're still gonna get a long

525
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: term deal. And I think a lot of these guys

526
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: cry like poor and foul, like oh this sucks. It

527
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: doesn't suck that bad. You get paid a premium on

528
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: your contract, and ultimately you're still gonna end up double

529
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: dipping because you're gonna sign a long term contracts. So

530
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: you got the one year, you basically get that year

531
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: plus another future long term contract. And I think that

532
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: keeps a lot of star players on teams because as

533
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: we see in the NBA, there's too much movement. You

534
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: can't even keep track that there's no teams have any consistency.

535
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: You know, Baseball is somewhere in the middle. Who knows

536
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: that they're ever gonna play again. But I am pro

537
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: the franchise tag I think it's a very healthy mechanism

538
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: for fans, and ultimately, without the fans, there is no

539
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: booming National Football League. Because of the fans, there's all

540
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: this money. Without them, there's nothing. And I think the

541
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: cap cuts is gonna dramatically change the free agent landscape,

542
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: and it does every year. We just don't know exactly.

543
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, teams have some idea, but every year there

544
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: are some shockers, and every year there are guys that

545
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: immediately become top ten free agents because we didn't think

546
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: they were gonna be on the market, and boom they're available.

547
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: Uh So I'm fascinating. Obviously, a Mari would be a

548
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: name that would jump right to become in a top

549
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: ten twelve free agency immediately if he hits the open market.

550
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: Why don't it bounce around some other league stories? Uh,

551
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City, it looks like they're gonna let the Honey

552
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: Badger hit the open market. And I think it's part

553
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: of you know, the hard part about the NFL is

554
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: you can really like players. They really like the Honey Badger.

555
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, he's twenty nine years old,

556
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: he's basically been in the league a decade. He's battled

557
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: some injuries. You know, is he in his prime anymore? No,

558
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: but he's still a good player. He's very, very important

559
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: for them. But for him, you know, how many more

560
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: contracts is he gonna get. He's probably asking for a

561
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: lot in the Chiefs because you know, they pay a

562
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: home so much money, they're gonna have to franchise their

563
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: left tackle. Like it's you don't have an unlimited amount

564
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: of resources. Because if you have a hard salary cap,

565
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: it's not a soft cap like the NBA. You can't

566
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: go over it. It makes it a little difficult. So

567
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: I think they want him back, and if they get

568
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: into a bidding war, they're probably gonna lose them. And

569
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: that's part of the league like that. There's a reason, guys,

570
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's turnovers, just a nature of

571
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: the business. And they franchised. I guess it's not official

572
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: as of recording this, but all signs pointed them franchising

573
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown because ultimately, where else are they gonna get

574
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: a left tackle? I mean that's just is he a

575
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: perfect player? Of course not. That's why they wanted Trent

576
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: Williams last year. But they've acquired this guy and he's

577
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: better than probably anything else they could do New England.

578
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: I saw this story and I absolutely love it. I

579
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: think this would be one of the coolest moments of

580
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: the guy's career. I saw a headline that Bill Belichick

581
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: has contemplated being the offensive coordinator for the New England

582
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: Patriots in two thousand twenty two. Let me let me

583
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: say this. I am all in on that move. Can

584
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: you imagine if Belichick, who is widely considered and rightfully so,

585
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: the greatest defensive mind in the history of the league,

586
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, becomes the offensive coordinator and one

587
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: of their offense is even better. They'd be like, uh,

588
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: guy Fieri, Like, you know, he's probably bad, example, but

589
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: just who's just some great chef, just all of a sudden,

590
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna start an architecture company. Like there's a

591
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: dramatic difference. No one becomes a defensive coordinator and then

592
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: also becomes an offensive coordinator. That's not the way the

593
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: It's basically like opposite professions. Even though it's all football,

594
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: it's really not football. So if he becomes an offensive

595
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: coordinator and is good at it, it would be one

596
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: of the most remarkable things we've ever seen in coaching

597
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: most human beings. Anyone listening to this, whatever you do professionally,

598
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: and let's say you're really good at it, you could note,

599
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, probably just on the snap of a finger,

600
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: just dramatically do something else and just dominated. Now, maybe

601
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: he would suck, and maybe it would show you how

602
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: difficult it would be. But I would bet on him

603
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: being pretty good. You know, I would put a wager

604
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: on their offense. I don't know if it would improve,

605
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: because I think it's fair to say Josh is pretty

606
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: good at his job, but at minimum it's not gonna

607
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: get worse. And if he gets better, Like, what if

608
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: somehow Bill Belichick has like a top seven eight offense

609
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: with Mac freaking Jones as his quarterback. Uh, I am fast.

610
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: I think it would be one of the most legendary

611
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: things in the history of sports. Belichick offensive coordinator for

612
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. What if this Belichick's the offensive coordinator,

613
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: his son Steve is the defensive coordinator, and they make

614
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs again, I mean, it's just just add to

615
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: the guy's legacy. Some other stories on the rams, you know.

616
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: Part of the reason I think Aaron Donald and same

617
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: with Sean McVeigh. The retirement thing was out there. They're

618
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: both underpaid, but Sean McVeigh was making ten million dollars. Like,

619
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, Sean mcveigh's a fifteen to twenty million dollar coach,

620
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: and that's I don't think he's officially signed a contract

621
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: extension yet that's what he's gonna get, and he's well deserved.

622
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: He's the face of a franchise. You just won a

623
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, They've been to a couple of Super Bowls.

624
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna be easily one of the betting favorites in

625
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: the NFC. Well, Aaron Donald was set to make fourteen

626
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 1: million dollars in two thousand twenty two, so you're like, okay,

627
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: I'll put the pieces of the puzzle together. It makes

628
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: sense why he threatened to retire. Aaron Donald wasn't about

629
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: to make fourteen million dollars a year. Rumors are now

630
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: that he's gonna make twenty five on a new contract

631
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: or reworked extension, twenty five million dollars moving forward. Well

632
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: worth It also Matt Stafford, who was heading into the

633
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: last year of his contract, is rumored to be in

634
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: the forty five million dollar range. Again, you know, it's

635
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: just the going rate for quarterbacks. The last couple of years,

636
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: guys are getting forty forty two, forty three. Matt Stafford has,

637
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, a good season, leads his team to the

638
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He was already always making a lot of money,

639
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: like forty five million dollars. Here's the problem. I'm not

640
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: a math major, but if you take forty five million

641
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: dollars and you take twenty five million dollars, pretty sure

642
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: that adds up to seventy million dollars. The salary cap

643
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: is not five hundred million dollars. So if the salary

644
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: cap is two two hundred twenty million dollars, seventy million

645
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: of the salary cap. Now, obviously you could funag a

646
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: little bit. That's just a lot of money to pay

647
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: two guys. Now, Luckily, the way that you can set

648
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: up your cap, you know, you can push money back,

649
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: kick the can down the road. And this is where

650
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: you benefit from having an owner with an unlimited amount

651
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: of money, because if you're gonna sign extensions with these

652
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: two guys at a massive amount, the way the NFL works,

653
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: you have to put all that money into escrow and

654
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: you have to pay enormous signing bonuses. That's why a

655
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when Matt Ryan basically got a

656
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars within, you know, twelve months of signing

657
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: that huge contract extension, Arthur Blank has a lot of money.

658
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: And it's kind of why the haves and the have

659
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: nots everyone has. The NFL has huge cash flow because

660
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: of the television revenue deals, but not every owner has

661
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: just flushed with on any given moment. I can cut

662
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollar check, undred fifty million dollar checks,

663
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: and that is still what separates the owners. And obviously

664
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: stand who cut the six billion dollar check to build

665
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: so far? And it's sweet. I recommend anyone checking it

666
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: out in the place is badass. He also benefits here.

667
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: He can give his coach twenty million dollars. He can

668
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: give two players. I mean he might have to cut

669
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars worth of checks. The moment he

670
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 1: signs these two guys with extension, he doesn't even notice

671
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: it's gone. So this is where having the big money

672
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: owners in the NFL. When Steph Curry signs a two

673
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar deal in the NBA, you pay that

674
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: over five years, right, you get forty million dollars this year,

675
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: you get forty million dollars next year. That's not the

676
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: way the NFL works. They have huge signing bonuses. All

677
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money has to be paid over, you know,

678
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: in s grow and basically gets to the player within

679
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen months. It becomes a little more complicated

680
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: for a cash flow standpoint when you're an owner that

681
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of you know, cash, did this one.

682
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hammer this home over and over because and

683
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: I you know, it's hard. This is lying season right

684
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: with free agency in the draft and agents are really

685
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: pushing out you know, different stories. It's hard to know

686
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: what to believe. There is a story and it's you know,

687
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: it's been coming and coming and coming by multiple people

688
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: that Mr Bisky is going to get an eight figure

689
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: salary next year. And if anyone to me, it's one thing.

690
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: If you're gonna pay a guy ten million dollars Andy

691
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: Dalton got ten million dollars and ultimately pay a guy

692
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: ten million dollars at quarterback, that could be a really

693
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: really expensive you know backup. You can start a rookie,

694
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: you can start a second year quarterback, whatever. But if

695
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: a team pays Mr Bisky, let's just say twenty million

696
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: dollars and above. Even if it's just a one year

697
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: deal to be their quote unquote bridge starter for a year,

698
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: that coaching staff might get fired. He is not a

699
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: good player. He's fundamentally flawed as a passer. He does

700
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: not have great touch. He does not read the defense

701
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: very well. There are there's a pass kind of like

702
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: a there are certain passes that Mr Bisky doesn't struggle

703
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: to make he is incapable of making. And when you're

704
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: incapable of making certain throws, like the touch pass over

705
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: a defender between a safety behind him, when your offensive

706
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: player is basically lead between the two, you cannot function

707
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: at a high level in the NFL. It's why he

708
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: really struggled. Occasionally, he can run around and throw a

709
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: deep bomb. He has a strong arm. He's an athletic quarterback.

710
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: He cannot pick you apart. We know that, and obviously

711
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: you don't need, you know, I'm not expecting it to

712
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: be Peyton Manning or whatever to be a playoff level quarterback.

713
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: But there are things that Jimmy Garoppolo, who was an

714
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: extremely flawed player, can do that Mr. Biskey can't dream

715
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: of doing so. If you're gonna pay this guy fifty

716
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. Let's say you're the Commanders to be or

717
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. If you don't get Rogers to be

718
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, you will not win next year. It

719
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: will not happen. You know, seven wins, maybe eight wins,

720
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: you will not go to the playoffs with this guy.

721
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: The one year Mr Biskey made the playoffs twice, I

722
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: heard Coward say this. One year they made it at

723
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: eight and eight, and that was two years ago. And

724
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: a big reason they did is because the Arizona Cardinal

725
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: shipped the bed. The other year they made the playoffs.

726
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: Naggies first year, their defense scored like ten touchdowns. They

727
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: had Vick Fangio as a defensive coordinator. They had the

728
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: best defense in the league. And Mr Bisky, you know,

729
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: at the time, there wasn't that much tape on him,

730
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: and he still wasn't that great. But I could promise

731
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: you this, if you are looking to Mr Bisky to

732
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: get you through two thousand twenty two, he will not

733
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: get you through two. Unless you have the number one defense,

734
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe you can beat for the playoffs, but if you don't,

735
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: you're not going, and you're not gonna sell it to me.

736
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you can sell it to some of your fans.

737
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: But there was a reason he made two and a

738
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: half a million dollars last year to play for the Bills. Like,

739
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: if I'm Mr Whisky, I'm just making five million dollars

740
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: six million. Now, I understand if someone offers you twenty

741
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: million dollars, but the fastest way to get running out

742
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: of this league is to play once you once to

743
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: clear your backup. The best way to hold onto your

744
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: position for a long period of time is to stay

745
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. Make your five million dollars, You could

746
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: have a ten year career making five million dollars and

747
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: make fifty You take your twenty million dollars, you could

748
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: be out of league in a couple of years because, like,

749
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: I can't even keep this guy around. The more you

750
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: play as a flawed backup quarterback, the faster you get

751
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: exposed and the faster you get run out. I would

752
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: stay behind the Josh Allen's, the Mahomes, the Russell Wilson's,

753
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: the Mat Staffords the rest of my career. Once it's

754
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: clear I'm not a starting quarterback, you have to have

755
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: some sort of understanding of who you are. The faster

756
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: you can figure out who you are, the faster you

757
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: can survive a long time in the NFL. The Browns

758
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: they franchise David and Joku. I think that's pretty basic move.

759
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna let him go. Uh. You know,

760
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: he's a very he's an explosive player. Uh. I like him,

761
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: you know obviously, you know, put him with Jarvis, with

762
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. You know, they should have an explosive offense

763
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: to get their offensive lines good. If Baker's healthy. I

764
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: think the number one thing we're gonna have to watch

765
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: for the Browns next year is can Baker stay healthy?

766
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: What will he look like returning from his from his injury,

767
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: and ultimately are they going to sign him to a

768
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: longer term extension because there's not really any middle ground

769
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. You're either kind of a forty million dollar

770
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: quarterback or I'm getting rid of you. There's not like, well,

771
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: I'll sign you to a three year, sixty million dollar deal.

772
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: You know, like the NBA, they have mid level exceptions

773
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: in baseball, like some right fielders make fifteen millions, some

774
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: make forty million. Quarterbacks, for the most part. If you're

775
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna sign a multi year contract, you're either signing a

776
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: huge deal or you're just getting one year deals or

777
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: your backup. And Baker right now after last year is

778
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: somewhat in limbo. So this year is going to be

779
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: an enormous year for him, either to build back his

780
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: value and to be viewed as like, Okay, we can

781
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: just win with this guy for the foreseeable future, even

782
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: if he's like a you know, a port you know,

783
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo type, or he's just a lock backup. And

784
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: I think two thousand twenty two is gonna be make

785
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: or break for him last but not least. As Peter

786
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: King reported this, I think it's fascinating that all indications

787
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: are that kerk cerb Street is going to be the

788
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: voice of Thursday Night Football and go to Amazon. And

789
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: I don't blame him, you know, I think he's had

790
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: an incredible run. I think we've talked about this before,

791
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: but college is way harder than the NFL. There are

792
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: way more players in college football. Every roster is very fluid,

793
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: especially now with the transfer portal. For the most part,

794
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: like if I'm calling Rams Packers, you know, I know

795
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: a lot of their star players. I have to learn

796
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: some of the role guys, but they're coaching staff, Like

797
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: the guys are just so much more famous. Kirk Herb

798
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: Street has literally accomplished everything you could humanly accomplish in

799
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: the sport of college football. He was a mainstay for

800
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: the number one show will probably ever see in college

801
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: game Day. He is called National Championships, he calls the

802
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. He's called all the biggest games for decades,

803
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: for multiple decades. Like, what else can he do? Now

804
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: it's time to get paid and paid a premium to

805
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: go to Amazon, much easier life. He's like, he's done

806
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: at all. You know, it's not a retirement gig, but

807
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: as this a new challenge. Can you imagine also just

808
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: the taxation of you gotta get up right and early

809
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: to do college Game Day, which is awesome, But then

810
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: he also those other guys just get to watch games

811
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: and go on. He has to call a game that night,

812
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: which has been cool, has made him a lot of money.

813
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: But maybe he's just tired of it. Maybe it's just

814
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm for a change and Amazon comes. Colin and John

815
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: Lynch mentioned this at the UH at the combine, like

816
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: they're offering a lot of money to talk football, and

817
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. You start even if

818
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: you make five moneys all relative. So you make five

819
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: six million dollars, someone offers you triple that, and the

820
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: work is technically easier, and you're already thinking, like God,

821
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: I'm kind of intrigued by this. I'm interested. He's called

822
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: NFL games the last couple of years. That week seventeen eighteen,

823
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: right that, Uh, you know, the last weekend of college

824
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: football when I mean the NFL, when ESPN has a

825
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: couple of games, and he called the Eagles game this year,

826
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: Eagles Cowboys. I forget. I was playing golf at l

827
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: a country club, but it was on in the background.

828
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: You know, if I'm if I'm Herbie, if I gave

829
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: him advice. If you're thinking about leaving college football, go bro.

830
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: Just just cash in. Enjoyed, get to work with Bezos.

831
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: Maybe not personally, but you get to be on Amazon.

832

842
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: let's dive into the mailbag at John middlecoff is the

843
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: Instagram firing those d m s and we'll start with

844
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: g Q question. A lot of people on the Twitter

845
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: dot com are making a big deal of the cap increase.

846
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: I saw it went up to uh. I think Schefter,

847
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: one of those guys, put out two d and eight

848
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: million dollars. But I think players will simply get bigger

849
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: contracts and teams won't necessarily keep acquire more players than before.

850
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? I think it just depends on the player. Right,

851
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: If it's Aaron Donald is gonna get a massive contract.

852
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: If you don't have the access to get sweet players,

853
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: you'll sign just three or four white more guys. I

854
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: think it's just depended on teams. Now, where I think

855
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: it matters is over the next couple of years, once

856
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: we've got over this Corona huddle. As you see, the

857
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: NFL dropped all the testing. We just you know, I saw,

858
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: I was in the car today and I had McAfee on.

859
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: I was going, uh, dropping some golf shoes off at

860
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: the old UPS. I do a lot of Amazon ordering,

861
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: and then I returned about the things. But when I

862
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: see something I like, I'm like, oh, order those shoes,

863
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: and then I realized I don't really want them when

864
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: they get here, so I go to the UPS. I

865
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: was in the car listen to McAfee and a J

866
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: Hawk who was in a plane because he had gone

867
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: to back Tris wedding where Aaron Rodgers, uh was the

868
00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: guy you know who I think married him and where

869
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: was there and he was telling stories. He said he

870
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: was flying back. One of the people on the planes

871
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: that they're dropping the mass mandates on the plane, which

872
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: I mean feels about a year too late. But you know,

873
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 1: we're not here to talk about COVID. We're just trying

874
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: to talk about football. But yeah, I think the next

875
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: couple of years, the the cap is gonna be enormous.

876
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of teams are going to

877
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: push much much you know, enormous contracts down the road,

878
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: because like in three years the cap could be two

879
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars. David, I thoroughly enjoy your podcast. I

880
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: listened to your Saturday mail bag and may be able

881
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: to contribute to a question that was asked. A listener

882
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: asked what it takes to become a photographer for the NFL.

883
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: I had a friend who was in film studies majors

884
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: in college, got his Masters of the Arts in cinematography.

885
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: This guy's accomplished photographer. He returned home, Wisconsin and performed

886
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: various jobs around the area. Most sleep filming commercials and

887
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: doing some occasional film work. Guys like you know, a

888
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: real film junkie. NFL Films posted a contracting job looking

889
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: for local cinematographers and photographers to come and work for

890
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: them during games. My friends submitted his resume and got

891
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: the gig. For three seasons, he would do packers home games,

892
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: filming for NFL Films, and occasionally doing still photography work

893
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: that would then get rolled up on organizations like ESPN

894
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: or the AP. He was paid on a per game

895
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: basis for a living action for for living action filming

896
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: for live action filming. He was paid on a per

897
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: frame basis for photography, with occasional bonuses depending on who

898
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: picked up the photos. So I think you just need

899
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: to look looks like NFL films linked In. You know,

900
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: indeed lit LinkedIn's partner on this podcast. So yeah, I

901
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: would just start looking around. They're always looking for people.

902
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: Feel like a pretty competitive job, you know, if you

903
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: want to be the next Steven Spielberg of football. But

904
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: NFL films changed the game. So if that can help

905
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: out the guy that asked about the how you get

906
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: involved in photographying in photography involved in the NFL on

907
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: game day, Hey man, good stuff grew up watching the

908
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: early two thousands bucks and fell in love with defense.

909
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: So I got a couple of defensive questions. Okay, let's

910
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: let's talk some stock some ball. First, I was looking

911
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: at recent drafts and was reminded that T J. Watt

912
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: wentty overall. Is there a guy you're watching to be

913
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: a defensive star who's under the radar? Second, I got

914
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: your assessment of arm length for aligneman, I get your

915
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: assessment of old line for for alignment. Can you talk

916
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: about how stock your d lineman have overcome that to

917
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: become stars. Thinking of guys like Donald, sapp Vita Vea,

918
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: and it's just an interior lineman thing under the radar.

919
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: Player in this year's draft at defense, Uh, there's a

920
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: guy from Montana State who played quarterback his first couple

921
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: of years. He then transitioned to linebacker. He put up

922
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: the fastest time at the combine. Now he's not necessarily

923
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: a first round pick, but this guy is a physical

924
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: freak and can fly in a league that is spreading

925
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: out and becoming much more about speed. I don't know

926
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: the guy's name, but I mean I've read about him.

927
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: I'll get his name for the next podcast. But to me,

928
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: a guy like that which all of a sudden a

929
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: couple of years, you're like, God, they got this pro

930
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: bowler from from Montana State. Be a guy like that.

931
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: I think the reason interior offensive linement now ideally like

932
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox has long arms, right, Eric Armstad and Buckner

933
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: are long guys, It's because explosive quickness is more important

934
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: than like on the edge separating with your arms. Now

935
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: arm like still does matter, But the reason Aaron Donald

936
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: dominates power and speed when you can get on guys edges,

937
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: a center or a guard, you could just beat him

938
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye at a tackle were

939
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: it's much more of a space game, right where one

940
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: on one you're coming around the edge inside, like I

941
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: am three steps away from the quarterback. So if I

942
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: can get on on your edge or get into you,

943
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: make contact with you before you even set, I can

944
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: drive you back. I can make contact with you before

945
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: you even have the chance to shoot out your arms.

946
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: I think the combat guards and centers and defensive tackles

947
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: and nose tackles, it's just much more. It happens a

948
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: lot faster, is the best way I could say it. Now.

949
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: I could probably have a defensive line coach or like

950
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: a pro personnel guy articulate that better, but I think

951
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: you just you interact much faster. So Aaron Donald is

952
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: into the center faster than von Miller on the edges

953
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: into the tackle because the tackle set is way farther

954
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: back where you're just right over the guy. That that's,

955
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even know if I'm describing that perfectly,

956
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: but that's that's the way I really enjoyed better to

957
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: be feared. Any other audible recommendations I have a couple

958
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: in the hopper. I had downloaded because my brother went

959
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: on a long drive probably six months ago and listen

960
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: to the McConaughey book. And McConaughey reads his own book,

961
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think one of the stories

962
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: I heard him probably when the book came out on

963
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: Howard Stern, I think his dad died having sex with

964
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: his mom. Like he just gives crazy stories in McConaughey's voice.

965
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: So the next book I'm gonna read is McConaughey's book,

966
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: First Time Sliding in the d m S. After three

967
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: years of listening, I'm a big fan. I'm a Panthers

968
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: fan and have been growing tired of the constant quarterback rotation.

969
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Panthers taking Malik Willis

970
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: at six? Do you think his cop coming out of

971
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: colleges Josh Allen? At this point, it's come down to

972
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: me rather watching him on Sunday after seeing the combine

973
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: than having to watch Sam Dorle. I think, under no circumstances,

974
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: can you take Malik Willis at six? I don't think

975
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: his comp is Josh Allen at all. Josh Allen was

976
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: six five two pounds Malik Willis is six ft tall.

977
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: I just would be very very careful about taking shorter

978
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks really really high. I know that's really become a thing. Listen,

979
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: I have no problem. Uh, he's twenty two years old,

980
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: he has a huge ceiling. Obviously you're probably not gonna

981
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: get the guy in the middle of the second round.

982
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: But I would be very very careful, very very careful.

983
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: So Malik Willis is a shade over six ft tall.

984
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: He's two hundred nineteen pounds. Josh Allen is two pounds

985
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: and six ft five now. Josh Allen, like Josh Allen,

986
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: had one of the biggest arms of all time. You know,

987
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: Malik Willis has a good arm, but he's six ft tall. Like, ultimately,

988
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: your offensive chinemen are minimum. Just you know, it's hard

989
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: to see over. I think we gotta be careful about

990
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: all these short quarterbacks coming in the NFL. And again,

991
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 1: Malick Willis is physically more gifted than Baker Mayfield. Baker

992
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield in theory is accurate and kyler while he's smaller,

993
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: and Milik Willis is much better at playing quarterback. Like

994
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: part of Malik Willis is like, is he gonna be

995
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: a good NFL quarterback. I don't know if Milick Willis

996
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: played for the Panthers next year, you guys would be

997
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: terrible six overall. The pressure also that gets put on

998
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: a guy that probably shouldn't get drafted that high, drafted

999
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: that high is insane. You saw with Daniel Jones, and

1000
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was much more pro ready. Now I understand

1001
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. It's just not very good. Sam Donald last

1002
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: year was an atrocious player. So I don't I don't

1003
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: blame you for thinking that, but I don't think you

1004
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,959
Speaker 1: can force Malik willis there. I'm from the Bay Area,

1005
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: born and raised in San Jose, grew up with Colin,

1006
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: listening to him driving up and down the coast to

1007
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: college at University of Santa Barbara. Still listen to him.

1008
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: And now you I heard you need a doctor. I'm

1009
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: finishing up my sports medicine fellowship in San Antonio. Though

1010
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: the group takes care of the spurs. I've been cold

1011
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: calling private ORTHO sports med groups all over the Bay Area, California.

1012
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: Any connections you have would be hugely appreciate it. I

1013
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: don't even my doctor r I p Elliott Schwartz love

1014
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: the guy passed away. I need to get a new

1015
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: doctor in the Bay area. I'll take care of you

1016
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: for free, may ma'am. Now I don't do free rides.

1017
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: I got insurance. Um, so I'm just gonna have to

1018
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: go back to my doctor and Davis, which is like

1019
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: forty five minutes away, to take care of me. This guy,

1020
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: I I don't really have, honestly any I do one

1021
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: medical professional round here, and God damn me took care

1022
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: of me. Um. I miss him. I honestly I mis

1023
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: him more as a friend than my doctor. But I

1024
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: really do, God that I don't even like thinking about that.

1025
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: It gets me angers me that he's not around anymore.

1026
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I need to uh, I need to find

1027
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: a doctor. I don't. I honestly don't have any connects

1028
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: within the medical community. I don't really, you know, like

1029
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:05,959
Speaker 1: some people is like I got, I got this good friend.

1030
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's my age, the lawyer, he's a doctor,

1031
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: Like I aren't. Really my friends. My friends are like

1032
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: construction workers for some farmers, you know, you know, just

1033
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: normal people. Alex sending this from my girlfriend's account. Since

1034
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't have Instagram, I've heard a lot of people

1035
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: ask about your path to becoming a scout and the

1036
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: network it took to get there. I'm curious, once you

1037
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: became a scout, did the Eagles teach you the details

1038
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: and attributes of what to look for in each position?

1039
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: Is there some sort of program they put you through? Also,

1040
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: who would you say is your biggest influence on how

1041
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: you see the game? I learned football. I say it

1042
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 1: all the time, like I got I got a college

1043
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: degree at cal Poly and I got a master's degree

1044
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: in football at Fresno State. So I learned from Pat

1045
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: Hill and Drew Hill, who's now the personnel basically the

1046
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: GM of Oklahoma. He was there with Bob Stoops, he's

1047
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: there with Lincoln Riley, and now he's there at Venables

1048
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: on what to look for in talented players. And Pat

1049
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: had obviously been taught by Belichick. Now when I got

1050
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, you know, I learned a lot from

1051
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: just watching our own team and then studying a lot

1052
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: of the league, and you know, just learning through you know,

1053
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: just time evaluating and watching players and then specifically you know,

1054
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: we are looking for this, like you're just very like

1055
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: we need to find a tall corner, right, and then

1056
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: you just know, like you know, coach read, I'd say

1057
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 1: pretty open minded when it comes to talent. Right, he

1058
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: take Torrell Owns, he take de Sean Jackson, You take

1059
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: Tyrek Killy, take Travis Kelsey, take Frank Clark. He would

1060
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: take the honey Badger like, so, I like, he just

1061
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 1: wants sweet players. So you know, I was just looking

1062
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: for talented guys. It wasn't like, you know, it's only

1063
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, they only do six ft five

1064
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. It was. It wasn't like that with him.

1065
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: It was much more open, like we were pretty open right.

1066
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 1: If we thought the guy could play, we were interested.

1067
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: So you just learned through time spending around. You have

1068
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 1: to work at it. You gotta watch a lot of tape,

1069
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: which you do anyway. Uh. I think what really helped

1070
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: is when when you first get in the NFL, you

1071
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: spend so much time watching the fringe guys, so you

1072
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: get a good idea of like what a practice squad

1073
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: guy looks like, what a backup offensive lineman looks like?

1074
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: What a what a you know, special teams player looks like?

1075
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 1: That is more important, Like my mom can tell you

1076
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill or you know, Nick Bosa is awesome right,

1077
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know, George Kittle can play, d

1078
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: k Medcalf can run, Like yeah, no, ship, but can

1079
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: you figure out, like what a good third linebacker looks like?

1080
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: And you just naturally get that by evaluating preseason film rosters.

1081
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: So it does just take some time. Like you can

1082
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: only learn what's playing in the NFL by watching what's

1083
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. And as a scout, like you

1084
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: gotta watch a ton of film. So like my my

1085
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: buddies that have been in the league for a decade plus,

1086
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: like they've watched every player come into the draft for

1087
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: a decade and they evaluate pro film constantly, so they

1088
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: just know exactly what it looks like from star players

1089
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: to middle of the road players, to back up players,

1090
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: to fringe players, to practice squad guys two guys that

1091
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: aren't NFL players. You have to understand that before you

1092
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: can know what you're looking for with your own team.

1093
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: I'd see my biggest influences, I mean just being watching

1094
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: the way Pat Hill and Andy Reid you know, built

1095
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: teams and just I you know I'm gonna I viewed

1096
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: myself as an offensive guy. I'm very confident with offensive

1097
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: players because when I got to Frists of State, we

1098
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: had sweet offensive guys. And when I got to the Eagles,

1099
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: we had sweet offensive guys. You know, so I just

1100
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: I feel I no offense pretty well? You know I don't.

1101
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: I'm not a great d B guy. Uh. I mean,

1102
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 1: I can tell you Ed read or Kyle Hamilton's gonna

1103
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: be good, but I can't, you know, break down corners

1104
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: regarding all three television shows. Paramount plus Yellowstone. I like

1105
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: Yellowstone eighty three, The Mayor of Kingstown. I've seen Yellowstone

1106
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: see the Mayor of KingStep Mayor of Kingstown is fantastic.

1107
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: Jeremy Renner um big Niner fan. I need to watch

1108
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: a couple more episodes of three. Spoiler alert. Just watched

1109
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: the episode where the Faith and Tim's daughter's boyfriend du

1110
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: she's sleeping with, gets shot. Question for the pot. I'm

1111
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: a lifelong Bills fan, and there's been chatter about possibly

1112
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: of adding Gronk to the roster. How do you think

1113
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: that would go over in the locker room when we

1114
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: consider the vicious cheap shot he put on our best

1115
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: cornerback trade as white back in seventeen. I think it's

1116
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: part of the NFL. I mean guys move teams. Sometimes

1117
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: you fight a guy or do something cheap, and then

1118
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years later your teammates with him. Remember

1119
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: Trent Williams Wants sucked Richard Sherman in the face, and

1120
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: then they became teammates and loved each other. You know what,

1121
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: I think trend As White and Grounk would like each other.

1122
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: They're both good, they're both trying to win a ring.

1123
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: I think it would be fine. I think fans make

1124
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: a bigger deal over that than you know the players would.

1125
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Now Tredevius, why, I don't you know. Maybe he truly

1126
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: hates Cronk. Maybe he would not want that. I would

1127
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: imagine McDermott would ask and they would know. For a

1128
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: good show. Check out The Boys on Amazon if you

1129
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: haven't already. It's about superheroes in the real world where

1130
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: capitalism and egos make the absolute assholes, make them absolute assholes.

1131
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: It just came out that Jimmy g needs shoulder surgery

1132
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll be throwing again in July. Well, this

1133
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: hurt his trade value of course big time. He can't

1134
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: practice an O T S. So if you're the Steelers,

1135
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: if you're the Broncos and you're interested in getting this guy.

1136
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: You know, it just makes it very very complicated. I

1137
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't know, man, I I would

1138
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: be very very hesitant to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, um

1139
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: at least a lot. I mean, I'd give a six

1140
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: round pick. But he can't thrown till July, can't throw

1141
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: the July. Are we sure that'll be ready in July?

1142
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: And you'd be like, oh, he'll be fine. How often

1143
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: we hear that it will be good to go? Yeah,

1144
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: just a little surgery, and then all of a sudden

1145
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, Jimmy G's on pop, we got a problem.

1146
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: So I would say it dramatically influences his uh, his

1147
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,959
Speaker 1: trade value a lot of other questions. What I'm gonna

1148
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: do is, if I don't answer you personally, I'm gonna

1149
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: probably save some of them for the for the weekend

1150
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: mail bag. That's what we'll do. Put them on the

1151
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: weekend mail bag, and uh yeah, just keep rocking and rolling.
