Speaker 1: Here's the game plan today. I went full on mailbag

27
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and I didn't even get close to answering all your questions,

28
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: but I banged out over an hour worth of question

00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: those direct messages easiest way to get a hold of me.

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Also recorded a gambling super Bowl preview that will be

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: out Thursday with my main man, Stucky from the Action Network.

34
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: I Tomorrow on Wednesday midday going to Vegas. Got a

35
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: little volume party. Go to that and then we'll see

36
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: where the next couple days take me. Right now, I'm

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: scheduled to come back on Friday. Might stay it on

38
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Saturday and see who we can rub elbows with the

39
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: people out there on the old Strip. God I love Vegas.

40
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun week. If anyone knows anyone

41
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: that knows anyone with some tickets, you know, I might

42
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: be down to go. But some of the prices I've seen,

43
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: Holy connolly. I've been to enough football games. I don't

44
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: know if I'm spending you know, ten grand a pop

45
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: to sit in the nosebleeds, probably sitting and watching it

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: in front of my television. But I'd never say never.

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: We'll see. We'll see what transpires over the next couple

48
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: of days. So I'll be in Vegas, probably gonna bring

49
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: some equipment, maybe record podcasts from the ground floor on

50
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: When would that be Maybe Thursday, during the day before

51
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: we start throwing some back and losing some money, because

52
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: that's usually what I do in Vegas. Maybe I'll win

53
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: this time. Other than that's that's the plan for the week.

54
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: So mail bag today, stuck you tomorrow, little check in

00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: highly recommend going, especially that first weekend. You can watch

88
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: multiple games. It's an incredible event. I've done it several times,

89
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: San Jose, Sacramento. It's awesome. Let's start here on the

90
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: mail bag with Ryan Love the Show. Do you find

91
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: it surprising that the majority of the best NFL quarterbacks

92
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: of all time are not the most decorated college quarterbacks.

93
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: One of my favorite facts is there hasn't been a

94
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: Heisman winning quarterback to win a Super Bowl MVP other

95
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: than Jim Plunkett. Crazy part about Jim Plunkett is the

96
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: early part of his career was a disaster. Even the

97
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: cam I miss number one overall picks like Manning, Luck

98
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: and Lawrence did not win the Heisman. Do you think

99
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: this is overlooked when evaluating whether or not a player's

100
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: success can translate in the next level or is it

101
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: just a coincidence. Well, just because you win the Heisman

102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Trophy does not mean that NFL teams think you are good, right,

103
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: And I believe that struggle struggling when you're young, whether

104
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: that's in life or as a player, benefits you as

105
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: you get older. I remember I looked this up years ago.

106
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: Within the last five years, maybe it's changed. Is like

107
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: seventy or eighty percent of you know, multi millionaires, and

108
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: obviously the billionaire percentage of just human beings is really small.

109
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: But people with the high net worth come from nothing. Right,

110
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: Most guys in the NFL are not first round picks.

111
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: It's a job that when one, you're not guaranteed anything.

112
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: And two, especially at quarterback. Right, if I play at Alabama,

113
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: or I play at LSU, or I play at a really,

114
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: really good school, it doesn't mean I can't be a

115
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: good NFL quarterback. Two is a good starting quarterback. Joe

116
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Burrow is an awesome starting quarterback. But look at Joe Burrow.

117
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: For example, he was told at Ohio State, you're not

118
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: good enough, You're never gonna play here, and then he

119
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: goes to LSU and he wasn't any good. Patrick Mahomes.

120
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: Look at the two quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. The

121
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: majority of games they went into in college, they did

122
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: not have the best players on their side. They were

123
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: either an underdog or less talented than the other team.

124
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: So you have to figure out ways to play. You

125
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: develop your instincts. When you go into a game with

126
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: like a top five program for several years of starting quarterback,

127
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: you got a pretty big advantage, right. It's not very

128
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: hard to do. If you sell, like selling at the

129
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Mercedes lot, the consumer that's coming on there probably isn't

130
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: that difficult. But if you sell as a salesman a

131
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: bad product and are able to make a lot of money,

132
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: you're probably pretty good at your job, and that means

133
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: you could sell anything. Right. A quarterback that finds ways

134
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: to be successful at lesser programs, there may be something

135
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: to that. So I think there are a lot of variables.

136
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is a good example. He was the number

137
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: one overall pick, but even early on in his career

138
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: the playoff struggles. A lot of people question whether he

139
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: get over the hump. Tom Brady couldn't even earn a

140
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: starting job the majority of his college career that he

141
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: was a six round pick. So I think anytime that

142
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: you have doubters and you have to learn to do

143
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: more with less, it suits you well as time goes on. Right,

144
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: there are a lot of successful people in your industry,

145
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: in your hometown. Your neighbors might not be the smartest

146
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: person on the block, but you figure out a way

147
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: if you're really and that's part of being a quarterback, right,

148
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: The unquantifiable attributes, the drive, the willingness to work. Obviously,

149
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: your mental aptitude of being able to understand football is

150
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: a hard thing to gauge, right, and some guys comprehend

151
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: it better than others. Right Jason Kidd. I remember hearing

152
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: this story that Jason Kidd took him like five times

153
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: to get the minimum SAT score so he could get

154
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: into cal back when he was in college. But he's

155
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: easily one of the smartest basketball players in the history

156
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: of the sport. And one thing I learned when I

157
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: was scouting is you know not to put too big

158
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: of emphasis, like on your GPA. Right, just because you

159
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: have a high GPA doesn't mean you understand or learn

160
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: football well. You could be a four point zero student

161
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: and a low IQ football player vice versa. You could

162
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: be a low GPA guy and a super high Q

163
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: football guy, and at quarterback the knowledge of pre snap,

164
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: post snap, learning on the fly, reacting on the fly,

165
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: instincts as the position. I think it's one of those

166
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: things that in most industries acquisitions like it's pretty black

167
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: and white. This thing makes money, this thing doesn't. This

168
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: is something you know with a certain demo that's only

169
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: going to grow with quarterback that it's impossible to quantify

170
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: every like you can't quantify what Mahomes brought to the

171
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: table when he was drafted. What is the secret to

172
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: the Shanahan running scheme. I've heard you talk many times

173
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: how outside of Trent, the San Francisco o line is weak.

174
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: I would say average, better than weak. But every week

175
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: you see CMC and Debo running through holes. Same thing

176
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: happened this year in Miami, the same scheme with a

177
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: week O one. One thing I learned when I was

178
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, right a guy like when I was

179
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, we had Jason Peters in the peak

180
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: of his powers, Trent Williams in the peak of his powers.

181
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: You know, all the best offensive linemen who are just

182
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: elite right, you go around Zach Martin, Jason Kelcey Kelsey's

183
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: probably now he could play in any scheme, but when

184
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: he was younger, he was much smaller. Some guys can

185
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: transcend Tony, you know, Anthony Munno's Larry Allen can play

186
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: in any scheme, but the zone running scheme, which is

187
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: the Shanahan baby right from his dad to Kubiak to

188
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: obviously Kyle and you know McVeigh and lafleur and obviously

189
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel in Miami. You don't need to be Trent Williams.

190
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: You need to be a positional blocker. Athleticism is much

191
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: more important being able to position a block so as

192
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: a guard. If I'm not the most powerful or most

193
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: talented guy, but I'm good athlete and I have quick feet,

194
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I can use my body to get in front of you.

195
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: And then having the right type running back. Arian Foster

196
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: is a good example. Arian Foster could not play in

197
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: every running scheme. He is a zone runner, meaning no cuts,

198
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: one step, hit the hole and go because the crease opens,

199
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: every guy is going lateral not vertical. Right like Trent Williams.

200
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: Technically you could run any given play, a power run,

201
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: a zone run, you could ask him to take on

202
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: two defensive line. He can do anything. Most guys cannot.

203
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: But if you get a good enough athlete, they can

204
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: position themselves, not pushing them backwards, just in front. And

205
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: then if everyone's going laterally, ultimately a crease is going

206
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: to open and great one cutbacks. Aaron Jones with a

207
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Packers is a good example. One cut downhill and you

208
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: can gain a minimum five yards pretty easily. And then

209
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: when you get the elite talents, they have home run

210
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: hitting speed. Now I think Aaron Jones a high end

211
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: running back, but you know what I mean. So like

212
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: the zone running concepts is not When I was at

213
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Frisnoe State, we ran a traditional more West Coast offense

214
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: which we ran power and in the power run play

215
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: right or left, you are pullings and when I pull guards,

216
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: I am trying to hit you and move you backwards

217
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: and open up a whole same thing with the fullback.

218
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: Well in Kyle's it's not as much now. Trent can

219
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: drive you back, but most of their guys are not

220
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: pushing guys back five yards. It's about opening a crease.

221
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: And the thing with his scheme and Mike is a

222
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: you know. Mike was his run game coordinator for a decade,

223
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: so he knows it as good as anyone. It's about

224
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: you don't know which way it's coming and who's gonna

225
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: hit you, you know from what angle, So you get

226
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: defensive linemen kind of guessing, and then they start moving

227
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: and not playing fast, so you get a bunch of

228
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: guys on their heels, and that's when you can gash people.

229
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: So I guess that's a long winded way of saying

230
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: is you can circumvent I don't need five Pro bowlers

231
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: to be the number one rushing team right Ideally I

232
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: have a couple. But as long as I have solid

233
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: offensive line and good athletes, I can gas you and

234
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: obviously the right type running back. From a former scouts perspective,

235
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: are you starting a franchise and have to start with

236
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: one of these these three quarterbacks? Love Lawrence and Brock Purty.

237
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: Who is it? And why? Now? I'm inclined because of

238
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: how I learned football to like more twitchy, powerful quarterbacks.

239
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm not in even the best quarterbacks of all time,

240
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: you know that don't have great arms. Drew Brees Montana

241
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: is obviously the best one of all time. That had

242
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, non power arm but the Philip rivers, those

243
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: type players I like elite skills, right. I tend to

244
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: lean Aaron Rodgers, Right, I tend to like Josh Allen

245
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: is probably my favorite player in the league. So you know,

246
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Brock Party, in Kyle's scheme, he is gonna be highly effective.

247
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: Could he play for everybody? You know, he's a good player, clearly,

248
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: like he's better than the haters want to give him

249
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: credit for. But like any quarterback worth their salt, they

250
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: benefit for who they're playing with. Patrick Mahomes Now he

251
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: could work for anybody, but when he first got in

252
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: the league, benefit a lot from being around Andy Reid, Right,

253
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Joe Montana benefit of a lot from being with Bill Walsh.

254
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: So like I'm out on Trevor Lawrence, I've just I

255
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: got him red flag. I'm not saying he can never

256
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: be a good player, but like I'm sorry, a huge

257
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: red flag. Now, I understand Perdy made more plays when

258
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: it counted than Jordan Love. And I'm not one to

259
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: anoint you after a seven game stretch. So Jordan Love, like,

260
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: is he gonna carry this over next year? But physically

261
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: the traits that he has what we saw that, you know,

262
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: from Thanksgiving up until his last interception. That's what I

263
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: like out of a quarterback. It's why I celebrated the

264
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: Four Niners taking a big swing to draft Trey Lance,

265
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: though I would have gone Justin Fields, but it's why

266
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: I like Justin Fields coming out of the draft. And

267
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a weak spot for me because I

268
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: will overlook the Brock party types. Obviously most people did.

269
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: He went the last pick in the draft, but like

270
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Kyle has proven, and that scheme has proven, Jared Goffs

271
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: had a lot of success, Ben Johnson, Sean McVay, Kyle

272
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Shanahan had Matt shopp looking like a stud. Matt Ryan

273
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: who Who's a good example. Not really my type player.

274
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: I just I'm inclined, and I understand Roethlisberger's you know,

275
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, but like I like elite talents, I

276
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: just do. That's my scouting inclination when it comes to

277
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: quarterback because over the course of time, once I start

278
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: paying you, I need you to be able to overcome

279
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: more limitations on my roster once you start making a

280
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: lot of money. I love Brock Purty right now. I

281
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: will defend him at every angle when it comes to

282
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: how well he's played throughout the season and how impressive

283
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: his story is. But he also makes nine hundred thousand dollars.

284
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: The conversation is a lot different if they got to

285
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: pay him forty million dollars and cut other guys on

286
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: the team. So you know, I'm not trying to avoid

287
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: giving you a straight answer, but like, I've seen a

288
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: lot more of Brock Party in two years than I

289
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: have Jordan Love. But I'm inclined to like Jordan Love

290
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: type players, So I would say Trevor Lawrence, especially when

291
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: you factor in the money. I'm out it would between

292
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: Love and and Party. I mean, if we're all starting

293
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: from scratch, like I think fucking Jordan Love would be

294
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: sweet for Kyle Shanahan and everyone's like you're just hating, Like, no,

295
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm not. I like Brock Party came across your content

296
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: six months ago through your videos and ben a fan.

297
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: Guys are very nice in the DMS. Diehard Raider Fan

298
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: would like your opinion on who you believe the best

299
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: pick is for US, Pennix, Knicks, or JJ McCarthy. I

300
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: really likes Pennix, but would be okay with Nicks. Due

301
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: to the experience with our weapons, up and coming defense

302
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: and a great left tackle. We are a quarterback and

303
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: online depth away from being a threat in the AFC.

304
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: Threat would be strong. Let's just say a playoff team

305
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: competing to be a playoff team. We got Sometimes we

306
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: gotta walk before we run. Also, lastly, I know you're

307
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: a big golf guy. Have you ever tried getting into

308
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: disc golf? Very fun? When I used to live in

309
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: Walnut Creek in northern California, I used to walk by

310
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: this park and there would always be guys banging chains.

311
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: I never did, but I always there. It was always

312
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: packed with people banging chains. I would say, you hired

313
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Luke Getzi, which, let's face it, I think a lot

314
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: of people think is he any good? I've defended him,

315
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: not like him necessarily, but what he represents. When you're

316
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator with a quarterback who struggles to throw

317
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: from the pocket, it's hard to run an offense. So

318
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: everyone acted like get seas an idiot. Well, he came

319
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: from Matt Lafleur, and then he tries to run that

320
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, assemblance of that offense and the guy can't

321
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: do it. So now is he gonna be good. Like you,

322
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: guys do not have a quarterback. So, like you said,

323
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: do you draft a guy at thirteen? Do you trade

324
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: up and get one? Here's what's pretty clear. Caleb Williams

325
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: is gonna go number one in some way or you know,

326
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: form or fashion. Washington's gonna take a quarterback. I think

327
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: we'd all be stunned if the Patriots don't take a quarterback.

328
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: So there's a chance one of those guys you lift

329
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: listed is gone now, potential for it to be Kayleb Williams,

330
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: Drake May, and Jayden Daniels in some order. Obviously Caleb

331
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: one and the other two. However, I don't know, man.

332
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: I I loved Pennix. It was hard not to have

333
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: watched his entire career. That Michigan game was like that

334
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: was an NFL defense and he looked a little overwhelmed.

335
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: And I've supported him and I thought like, why couldn't

336
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: this guy be top ten pick? And I've had people that,

337
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, some of the best scouting buddies I know

338
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: that had second round grades on them. And one huge

339
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: question mark with him is durability, health and just injuries. Well,

340
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: he's been durable these last couple of years. But if

341
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: you've watched him this season against Oregon in the regular

342
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: season at home and then Michigan, he's getting peppered and

343
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: like has to be helped up off the field. So

344
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: is he gonna last? Bo Nicks, Like, are you willing

345
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: to run more of a spread style offense? And to me,

346
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy ideally is like a red shirt guy. Now

347
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: the Raiders aren't gonna have the luxury to me of

348
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: red shirting anyone. I guess you start Aidan O'Connell early

349
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: in the season and then kind of play him, But

350
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: I disagree. I saw Harbaugh say that JJ's the number

351
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: one pick in the draft, Like that's just classic Jim Harbaugh.

352
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: But he is an intriguing guy if you have a

353
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: long term view. The problem with the Raiders is, let's

354
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: face it, there's gonna be pressure on Antonio Pierce kind

355
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: of right away. Like you said, you have some pieces,

356
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: you have some core high end guy. I mean, Max

357
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Crosby is one of the best players in the league.

358
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: Davante is one of the best players in the league.

359
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: Colton Miller's a high end left tackle. Antonio Pierce isn't

360
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: exactly like some five year contract. Let's just see what

361
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: he can do over the next five years. Like in

362
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: the next couple of years, he's gonna have to prove

363
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: that he can compete. Your division's really hard, you add Harbaugh.

364
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: So the charges are gonna be better. The Chiefs are

365
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: cream of the crop and the conference, and Denver's just

366
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna be feisty with Sean Payton. So I don't have

367
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: a great answer for you. I think depending on a

368
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, though, for you guys this upcoming year would

369
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: be pretty risky. Why is everyone so quick to call

370
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: it on Sam Hell? I get the Commanders have the

371
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: second pick and we'll go quarterback, but their offensive line

372
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: is terrible. Howell was sacked sixty five times and was rushed.

373
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: If he was Bryce Howard or Anthony I think Bryce

374
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: Young or Anthony Interesting, people would take a wait and

375
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: see approach. But how is really this was his first

376
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: year and he doesn't get that up until week twelve

377
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: he was bawling with his numbers he can throw. I

378
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: just don't get why the media bags on him as

379
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: a lost cause. I don't think they necessarily bag on

380
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: him as a lost cause. I think anytime in party

381
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: battles this. Right, when you're not a high pick, you

382
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: don't get like, oh, let's just see what he's got.

383
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's see what he brings to the table. I'll give

384
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: it time, wait and see. I mean we're still talking

385
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: about justin fields. He's going into year four. Let's see,

386
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: just see justin fields with a real offensive coordinator, Trey Lance,

387
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: Like maybe another team can figure him out. It's like, guys,

388
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: he's a third string quarterback right now, he holds a clipboard.

389
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: You know, you have to be so bad like Zach Wilson.

390
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, yeah he stinks. Mac Jones like, yeah, I

391
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't want him, but you gotta be that atrocious when

392
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: you are not a high pick, even when you show it,

393
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: because like you watch series with Sam Howe, you were impressed. Now,

394
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: I remember watching an Eagles game he kind of imploded

395
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: young player. He's clearly going to be in the NFL

396
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: for a long time. Aide O'Connell, I think same thing.

397
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: It's like, and I'm not saying I would take Sam

398
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: Howell over Aidan O'Connell, but I do think it gets

399
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: very risky. And this is why coaching staffs and gms

400
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: get paid a lot of money to evaluate your own team.

401
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think if you love one of these quarterbacks,

402
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: you can afford to not draft one because of quote

403
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: unquote Sam Howe. So I think if it was another

404
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: situation like the Atlanta Falcons or the Raiders, maybe he

405
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: would get another year, you know, the teams that weren't

406
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: drafting as high. But I think when you're drafting number

407
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: two and there are a lot of quarterbacks now, just

408
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: because you take a quarterback high. I mean, look at

409
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: the Zach Wilson Trey Lance draft does not guarantee you shit.

410
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: So I hear you, but I just they're drafting a quarterback.

411
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: I actually, though, think having him on the team enables

412
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: you to kind of red shirt a guy at least

413
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: ease him in slow. I know you love a good bet,

414
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: So what parlay do you like the most for the

415
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: game PS. I don't want to bet anything over for

416
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs go Niners, I would say, and I talked

417
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: about this with Stuckey. Is some sort a little bit

418
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: of a long shot. But if you like depot at

419
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: twenty to one to win the MVP is not the

420
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: craziest thing. He gets seven to nine catches, has eighty

421
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: to ninety yards in a touchdown, and then if he

422
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: gets three or four runs and one of those runs

423
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: goes for forty fifty yards in a touchdown, you could see,

424
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: like in a lower scoring game twenty four to nineteen

425
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: or you know, something like that, he accounts for two

426
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns one hundred and sixty yards from scrimmage. Maybe his

427
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: big play comes in the second half to swing the game.

428
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: To me, some sort of fl on Debo, either over

429
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: receiving yards at eighty or ninety yards the MVP, dabble

430
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: on the MVP multiple touchdowns in a game. I think

431
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff with Deebo specifically, because everyone

432
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: if you like the Niners to win, which I kind

433
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: of do, you know, Purdy is the safest bet to

434
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: win the MVP, and then I think everyone else would

435
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: bet McCaffrey. I think Debo given his odds, McCaffrey's a

436
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: little less than five to one, Deebo's twenty to one.

437
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that McDaniel and Doug will be on

438
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: the hot seat if they have a similar ending this

439
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: past season? They've had success, but I don't know if

440
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: either coach can overcome the talent in the conference with Mahomes, Burrow,

441
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Herbert, with Harba Allen as well. I would say

442
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is an interesting one because that franchise is

443
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: kind of a weird place. Let's face it, they have

444
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: a little success and then it completely unravels no matter

445
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: who the coach is. The other thing is Trent Balky

446
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: is kind of the elephant in the room. There have

447
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: been reports that those two guys not exactly always eyed eye.

448
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: Trent Balke is a night eye with most coaches. The

449
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: other problem is if Trevor Lawrence turns out to just

450
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: not be good, he's not gonna get blamed first. The

451
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: coach will. And I think if Doug Peterson is fired

452
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: next year, I think it's safe to say that Trevor

453
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence is approaching bus status. And if that's the case,

454
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: the Jags are fucked. They got to start all over again.

455
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: I would say when it comes to McDaniel, he's made

456
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs twice. The Dolphins, for the most part in

457
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: my adult life post Marino, have not been some consistent operation.

458
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: If he's in the playoffs again, even if he loses,

459
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: how are you getting rid of that? He's a great

460
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: offensive mind. Now that Fangio left, there's gonna be some

461
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: pressure on the defense. But last year wasn't. They had

462
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: seven million injuries just with the Bills, So I would

463
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: probably pump the brakes a little bit with that one.

464
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Got a question for the mailbag. It seems the NFL

465
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: goes through various eras of play. Decades ago, it was

466
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: the tough base defenses like the two thousands Ravens, the Steelers,

467
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom with dynamic linebackers and more of

468
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: an old school ethos. Gotta love that football. Now the

469
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: league is more focused on offense, obviously because of a

470
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: litany of reasons. We've seen the greater emphasis on corner

471
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: and edge rushers to it seems. My question is where

472
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: do you see the NFL going from a play style perspective?

473
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: Could it possibly get more offensive centric? Would love to

474
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts. As a former scout, you know, things

475
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: always ebb and flow right. Things tend to be cyclical.

476
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: They say history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. I

477
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: do think there are times though, when you go, yeah,

478
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: that's we're never going back right. Communication is a good

479
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: example with technology through social media. Are smartphones just It

480
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: changed the game, and there's no going back to when

481
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get a hold of my dad

482
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, you called the home and if

483
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: no one was home, you didn't get ahold of them. Right,

484
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: So if he wasn't home and I picked up or

485
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: my mom picked up, it's like, yeah, well let him

486
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: know when he gets home. Kind of seems like a

487
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: different rule, but we've only gone more and more the

488
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: other direction where in football, these rules are never getting

489
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: rolled back. There was never gonna be a rule of

490
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: like now this year, unlimited hits to the head, the

491
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: John Lynch, Steve Atwater. Uh, you know those type Ronnie

492
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Lotts of the world. You're allowed to just destroy people

493
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: Like those days are done. They're never coming back. I

494
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: saw a headline Roger Good. Doubt they plan on being

495
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: even more active about this hip drop tackle. Every defender

496
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: I've heard talk about it, every offensive player, no one's

497
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: trying to hurt it anybody. Even Mark Andrews is like, yeah,

498
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: I don't even blame him. He tackled me and he's

499
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: just trying to get me to the ground. No one's

500
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: thinking like, hey, I'm running four to six at Travis Kelce,

501
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab his hips and then use all my weight. No,

502
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: you just try to tackle him and sometimes you gotta

503
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to get him to the ground.

504
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: But that's the way the league is regulated, and it

505
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: all has to do with cover your ass and mitigate lawsuits.

506
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: Let's face it, well, the league has never made more

507
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: money than it's making now and will never make more

508
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: money as it will over the foreseeable future. They don't

509
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: want to lose that money. So I just have a

510
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: hard time seeing like elite defenses ever come not in

511
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: vogue because everyone's gonna try to build a really good defense.

512
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: But like a huge part of a physical defense was

513
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: like you went over the middle, Ray Lewis or John

514
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: Lynch or Cam Chancellor, they were gonna hit you so

515
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: hard that either you were gonna hurt yourself like break

516
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: a bone, just not be able to get up, or

517
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: if you were able to get up, you were never

518
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: going over the middle again, or never going over the

519
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: middle willing to you know, catch the ball. I don't

520
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: blame you. That doesn't really happen. Listen, Puka Nakula is

521
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: an awesome player. He's playing in any era. But I

522
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: watched a lot of his production. When watching the Rams

523
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: this year, he works across the middle. It's like he

524
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: doesn't he's not worried that he's gonna get hit. It's

525
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: why I do understand when Brady goes like I knew

526
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't make those passes because I would get someone killed.

527
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: My first year in the NFL in twenty ten, it's

528
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: not like it was nineteen ninety six. I saw multiple

529
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: players carded off the field for knockouts, knocked out of

530
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: the game running go routes or post routes or crossing

531
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: routes over the middle of the field, and it was

532
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: just fucking destroyed. You're like, is that guy alive? When

533
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: do we ever see that play anymore? And when we

534
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: do the Colts game with CAZy, he's kicked out of

535
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: this for the season. He's like, yeah, you're done. No pay.

536
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: It's like, what about Gardner Minshew's awful pass? But it's

537
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: so rare now that I don't know if we're seeing

538
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: an EBB and flow. The thing that will continue to

539
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: happen is running backs play a vital role in the

540
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: passing game. If you can't catch as a running back,

541
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: it limiture ability. So it's like all these players tight

542
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: end obviously, receiver and running back have to play a

543
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: huge role in the passing game. When I was in

544
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: the league, feels like a different era. You had two

545
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: down middle linebackers, meaning that you brought in that guy

546
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: to just play the run second and ten or second

547
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: and five, play the run and then he comes out

548
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: if it's third and eight for a hybrid, you know,

549
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: cover linebacker or an extra safety. That's not the case

550
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: now you need all all your linebackers are much smaller

551
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and they all cover. So I guess that's a long

552
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: winded way of saying I don't know, man, I just

553
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: don't I think it's just more offense. But what can

554
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: you really do offensively just to continue to do what

555
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: they're doing. Throw the ball at the running back. Hey, John,

556
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: love the pod, watch it every day. Wondering your thoughts

557
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: on the staff changes in Carolina. I think I've mentioned this.

558
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: I just think Dan Morgan, someone I've watched from Afar

559
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: as a player, met him a couple times when I

560
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: was scouting people I know, really like him. I think

561
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: it's a very very tough job. It's a very very

562
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: difficult job working for someone like Dave Tepper until he

563
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: proves that he will just stay out of your way

564
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: and let you cook or attempt to cook the meal.

565
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just a failing opportunity. Now maybe he's learned,

566
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: maybe he's going to give some patience. I think it's

567
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: very difficult for impatient, super rich guys. I mean, these

568
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: aren't like you know, he he leveraged his whole net

569
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: worth to buy this team. He's got to see it through.

570
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: This was like a passion project. He sold applestock on

571
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: the side to buy this team, to get an extra

572
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: like billion dollars to pay cash for the team, whatever

573
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: he paid two point two. I've actually tailed David Tepper

574
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: because probably six months ago I saw he put a large,

575
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: large investment into Uber. Tailed that one. It's been very lucrative.

576
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: I also put a very large relative to me, definitely

577
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: not as large as Teppers, but you know, close to

578
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: half my portfolio Uber print money. David Tepper is an

579
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: elite investor owner beyond terrible. So to me. You get

580
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: a first time GM and a first time head coach

581
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: who's kind of came out of nowhere. Good luck to him,

582
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: good luck to him. I hope you can answer this

583
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: mailbag question before the Super Bowl. The Niners lost four

584
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: games this year when Perty played the DCS, and those

585
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: four games were Jim Schwartz, Ryan Flores, Mike McDonald, and

586
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: Lou and Roumo, some of the best in the league.

587
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: I'd argue, I mean all those guys, that's the group.

588
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean that group. Fangio Demico, I mean, that's Belichick.

589
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: That's the group right there. Baby, How do you think

590
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: against an experienced, veteran star defensive coordinator Steve Spagnola's scheme.

591
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: Perty had nine interceptions in those four games and two

592
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: uh and two two fumbles. Maybe do you think he

593
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: can play a mistake free game? It's gonna be very,

594
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: very difficult. Now, there was a stretch not defending him,

595
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: but he missed Deebo Samuel in the stretch against Jim Schwartz,

596
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: Flores and and an Arumo. Deebo missed three games with

597
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: the messed up shoulder. So having Deebo is a huge,

598
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: huge addition. Mike McDonald, deep crazy thing is they were

599
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: actually moving the ball. They just had those turnover plays

600
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: and one of those picks in the end zone. He

601
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: couldnt afford to me to have some red zone turnover.

602
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: If he's going to have a pick, it has to

603
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: be a random pick in the first half whatever, and

604
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: then the defense is going to have to hold him

605
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: a three. But I do not think they're gonna be

606
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: able to overcome a red zone turnover. And he definitely

607
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: had some red zone a red zone turnover in the

608
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore game, which was really hard. The one problem for

609
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers is if purty it makes a mistake,

610
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: their defense is not as good and their defense has

611
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: been getting shredded. So if he's going to turn the

612
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: ball over, if I told you right now he turned

613
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: the ball over on the chief side of the fifty,

614
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh, the Chiefs are going to turn

615
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: that into seven where early in the season, even if

616
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: he turned it over, they might be able to get

617
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 1: a stop, force a punt, may force a field goal definitely.

618
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: Now you have less and less faith. The way their

619
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: defense is playing so very very difficult. A lot of

620
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: pressure party goes hand and handle Kyle, so it's like

621
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: they're kind of a package deal. So Kyle, the brains

622
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: behind this operation, he has to figure out how to

623
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: scheme some easy place and get debo and some of

624
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: these guys into space and then perty what she's done

625
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: all season is hit some of the layup passes. Turnovers

626
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: kill you, man. You can't Mahomes has a turnover in

627
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: a playoff game in like six years. I'm a Giants

628
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: fan who's been in hell. What model do you think

629
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: the Giants should go with moving forward? Draft top ten

630
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: for the next couple of years, bolster of the roster,

631
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: and draft a quarterback, or draft a quarterback this year

632
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: and build around him for years to come. They've already

633
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: kind of admitted it. If Daniel Jones is healthy, he's

634
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna be your quarterback. It's just it's just gonna happen.

635
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 1: Which you guys, are an owner led organization. Your owner

636
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: has a lot of pull for the biggest situations, right

637
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to Saquon, when it comes to Daniel Jones,

638
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: they get what they want and a lot of owners,

639
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: even Robert Kraft, was like, listen, Tom, love you, thanks

640
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: for all the Super Bowls, but I'm gonna go with

641
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: Bill on this one. That is not the way the

642
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: Giants operate. I can't believe for a second. It's one thing.

643
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: If you wanted to keep him, it's another thing to

644
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: give him the contract they gave him that that was

645
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: classic owner. So until John Mara and that operation can

646
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: just let his people attempt to run it the way

647
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: they want to run it, not like eighty eight percent,

648
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: but like one percent. I think it's gonna be a problem.

649
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: I think you just got to ride this Daniel Jones

650
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: situation out, which sucks. I'm a Steeler fan. We just

651
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: hired Arthur Smith. I can't see nothing good from this hire. Honestly,

652
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: am I overthinking it or do you agree? I would disagree.

653
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: I think he's easily one of the best offensive coordinators

654
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: on the market. I think the offensive coordinators. I was

655
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: watching Albert Breer with Dan Patrick. He said that he

656
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: thought Shane Waldron was the best offensive coordinator higher I

657
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: would tend to. I think Shane Waldron is excellent. I

658
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: think Arthur Smith is a fantastic offensive coordinator. I think

659
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: you have to separate coaches who are OC's or DC's

660
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: and then when they become a head coach and then

661
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: that unit, and when they're just the offensive coordinator. A

662
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: lot of guys, if they are a nine out of

663
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: ten as an offensive coordinator, the moment they become a

664
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: head coach, that nine goes to a seven and then

665
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: the other part of the team are average and you

666
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: just look at the guy like he sucks. Because it

667
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: was hard to watch Arthur Smith in the Atlanta Falcons

668
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: and not go that, what the hell is going on there?

669
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: But I think Arthur Smith, when all he has to

670
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: deal with is half the team he dealt with Rabel

671
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: who's the you know, the uh kind of the law

672
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: and is the guy staying on every player's ass like

673
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. And you just have to scheme the offense.

674
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. You know what the Rooney's like

675
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: running the football. It's they fired Bruce Arians once upon

676
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: a time because he threw it too much. You can

677
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: call him old school and you don't have to call

678
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: him that. That's reality, but that's what they want. So

679
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith turned Derrick Henry into like Earl Campbell. So

680
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: you got Najee Harris, who will see what happens is

681
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: offseason with the fifth year option, the young Warren guy

682
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: who's really good. I think you're running attack. I'd be

683
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: stunned if you guys weren't dramatically better on offense. Do

684
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 1: you post your NFL parlays anywhere I have not. Yeah,

685
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: we put it. The volume usually puts it out. I'll

686
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: throw some sort of content up for for the super Bowl,

687
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: though what I actually put my money on. I'm a suffering,

688
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: diehard Giants fan. Not only am I surrounded by Bills

689
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: and Eagles fans in my personal life. Where do you

690
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: see the Giants going in the draft? I have disagreed

691
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: with their first round picks going back a decade, and

692
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: Joe Shane seem to be in no man's land after

693
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: promising first season. DJ is clearly not the guy. It's

694
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: crazy how fast things and change in life. It really is.

695
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: It's a good life lesson, and this is I think

696
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: sometimes people around me, you know, don't understand why I

697
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: don't get happier when things go well, and honestly, I

698
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: don't get that down when things go bad. Just when

699
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: you're around football, you kind of numbs you to realizing

700
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: like don't obviously if you win the Super Bowl or

701
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: if you know, you make some stock trade and turn

702
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: yourself into a millionaire. I'm not saying he's not allowed

703
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: to smile, but I think a lot of people get

704
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: too up and down on the roller coaster of life,

705
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: and I'm guilty of this when it comes to reacting.

706
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: I thought after that first year Brian Dabole was a star,

707
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: and then the more and more information I got coming

708
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: out of that building and watching them play, it's like

709
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: maybe he's over his head. And you could argue that

710
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: the Dayble situation with the coaching staff stuck with Daniel Jones,

711
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: it's an absolute disaster. And for as awesome as two

712
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: years ago was, and he deserved Coach of the Year,

713
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty nervous. The good thing you have going

714
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: for you is your division. Mike McCarthy is on the

715
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: hot seat right. He's going into the last year of

716
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: his contract. If the same thing happens again to the

717
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys eleven twelve wins bounced in the first round, the

718
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to have a new coach. Siriani clearly

719
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: on the hot seat, right. That cannot happen again. A

720
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: ton of pressure around the expensive quarterback in Washington starting

721
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: at scratch. So on the bright side, your division, for

722
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: being a team or being a division that had two

723
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs, doesn't exactly look like the SEC West.

724
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you needed anyone to do research

725
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: for any of your videos. Like many others, I lost

726
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: one of my jobs in marketing last year. Sorry about that.

727
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking for something to replace the passion I had

728
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: for that job. I'd be willing to work for free. Well,

729
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, you know, I would say I get

730
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: asked that question a decent amount my operation, given that

731
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: it's just I am the uh the content strategist, you know.

732
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: It's I kind of just work well by myself in

733
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: terms of putting the show together. I spend a lot

734
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: of time on the internet falling football. I played golf

735
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: with someone the other day and they asked me like,

736
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: how do you know what to talk about? And I

737
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: didn't really have an answer, and like I just kind

738
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: of know, like, well, how do you I'm like, well,

739
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: I follow the league and I follow this stuff really

740
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: really closely. This is my life, right. It's just this

741
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: guy was a former college golfer. He's like a mini

742
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: tour guy now. And whenever I get asked that question,

743
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: I have I struggle kind of how I even describe it.

744
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, I just know I've been around.

745
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: This is all I've ever done. The only profession I've

746
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: ever worked in is is football and talking about football

747
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: and being around football. So it just comes now maybe

748
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: as discontinues to grow, need some help, But I don't.

749
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: I guess it's a long winded way of saying, yeah,

750
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: I just kind of do it on my own. Now.

751
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I don't run ideas, and you know

752
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: that we got a bunch of people involved in the

753
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: show talking about football and different ideas. But I've been

754
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: doing this a while now and I think I got

755
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: a pretty good natural instinct question at one point. And

756
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm not a big like as you can tell, I'm

757
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: more opinion based. I'm not just rattling off stats. Some

758
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: podcasts do that. I know for me personally, when podcasts do,

759
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: I turn it off. Kind of bores me. At what

760
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: point do players go to the league and save them.

761
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: We won't play football for you anymore until you reform

762
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: the system of officiating. I don't believe the answer to

763
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: the officiating is to have referees who work full time. Rather,

764
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: I believe a new systematic rules, such as all penalties

765
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: within the final four minutes of the game are subject

766
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: to review, more replay technology. I believe it would be

767
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: helpful with the mass prolification of gambling. I feel it

768
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL's best interest for the sake of avoiding

769
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: the mass lawsuits that are eventually coming as more and

770
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: more people start question whether or not the games are rigged.

771
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: This question is right up my alley. Players are frustrated

772
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: with bad calls as well as they cost them the

773
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: game cost them money. I would say this for the

774
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: most part, with a player, a bad officiating call doesn't

775
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: necessarily cost them money. If I let's just pick a

776
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: player Aj Brown and I'm on a huge contract, like

777
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: over the course of my season, or Digs or I

778
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: mean players that like Digs might not be back on

779
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: the bills. They can have awful pass interference calls that

780
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: don't get called over the course of the season. That

781
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: doesn't affect his market value. Now who it affects the

782
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: most our coach, Because if you lose, even if it's

783
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: the wrong call and you should have won, you still

784
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: get fired. Right instead of going ten and seven, maybe

785
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: you lost a couple of games by bad calls, you're

786
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: eight and nine and you get shit caned at the

787
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: end of the year. So it definitely can have ramifications

788
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: that way from a gambling standpoint, and someone who probably

789
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: lost more than one be lying if I said otherwise.

790
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: I've had a long standing tough relationship with we it's

791
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: it's not acceptable to keep getting these things wrong. But

792
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're gambling on an

793
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: entertainment product. And like you said, everything reviewable the last

794
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: four minutes. Have you watched a basketball game the last

795
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. It's excruciating, it's awful. There's no ebb

796
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: and flow, So there has to be like, you can't

797
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: just review every play and not have it hurt the

798
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: consumer experience. So I know what you're saying, and I

799
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: would agree with some of it, Like how can we

800
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: figure this out? I've always said, like you scrip up

801
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: a call, you get fired, right, Players get cut, coaches

802
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: get fired. Why does a referee? It feels like they're tenured,

803
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: and I always here, well, that's not true. Some guys

804
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: get demoted, some guys get bullshit. I see the same

805
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: guys throughout like the course of my adult life. Eagles fan,

806
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: I think Kellen Moore should make Hurts play more under center,

807
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: incorporate more runs out of the I formation, and use

808
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: a fullback I think a sneaky underrated part of Miles Sanders'

809
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: ability with the Eagles was his comfortability with Hurts on

810
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: RPOs and we have lost that this past year. With

811
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: how much running backs recycle. It may be a better

812
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: idea to sign more of a power back and gets

813
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: Hurts under center more. We won the Super Bowl with

814
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: Leagaron Blunt. Do you think it Hurts would struggle adjusting

815
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: to this style of offense? Well, you had, I wouldn't

816
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: call DeAndre Swift. You know, Ricky Williams in his prime,

817
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: but I thought he was pretty physical back. Here's the problem.

818
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, the success he's had in the pros and

819
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: in college was all in the spread offense, out of

820
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: the shotgun. Like that's his success came from that and

821
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: the RPO, just not under center. So it's one thing

822
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: when you draft a guy and you incorporate that early

823
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: on in his career. I mean, Jalen Hurts is going

824
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: into what his fifth year and primarily been playing in

825
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: the shotgun. Now, talented players should be able to adapt

826
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: or use this example Aaron Rodgers, whose success the majority

827
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: of his career. I don't know if statistically backs this up.

828
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: Feels like was out of the shotgun. And then what

829
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: did they institute under Matt Lafleur was like, listen, you

830
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: have to be more comfortable under center, turning your back

831
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: to the defense. And he did, and he started rattling

832
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: off MVPs. Matt Ryan did the same thing with Kyle

833
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: she Hand. So can you institute some of those Is

834
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: he comfortable at doing it? He's not a great pocket passer, Like,

835
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: is this not something he's super comfortable doing? I would

836
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: say I think it's a fair critique of him as

837
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: a player, not saying he can't make the throws from

838
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: within the pocket. He's proven to be able to do

839
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: that just consistently. That's not really his game. To me,

840
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: his game one thing they got away from and maybe

841
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: this is just wear and tear on his body, Like

842
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: he's an elite runner of the ball. Why do you

843
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: get away from him running the Is he hurt? It's

844
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson in that championship game. You guys know,

845
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: he's like one of the best running quarterbacks of all time.

846
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: You guys know on that like second drive he busted

847
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: that run for twenty five yards. Don't you want to

848
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: run him? Like not everyone's meant to play like Peyton Manning.

849
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: If you're a great runner of the ball, run the ball,

850
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: just avoid the hits down the field. And I think

851
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: that's one thing the Eagles clearly did this year. Is

852
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 1: they like and maybe it's him too. He just wouldn't really.

853
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 1: I was not a huge fan at all coming out

854
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: of college, but I did think he like if quarterback

855
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: didn't work out, I thought he could be a starting

856
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL. He is a natural runner.

857
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: He's a great deep ball thrower. I think you have

858
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: to find with a player like him is what he

859
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: does really well, hammer that stuff, execute that at the

860
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: highest level in your offense, and then try to improve

861
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: on some of the other things he doesn't do as well,

862
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: and just slowly institute that. As a Fresno native, a

863
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: big fan of the Pod five five nine, do you

864
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: hold any credence to the idea that brock Purty hate

865
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: is due to him not having get it out of

866
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: the mud and was gift wrapped and already loaded team. See,

867
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: I'd say he got it out of the mud. He

868
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: was the last pick in the draft when he showed

869
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: up to training camp. They had Trey Lance, who they

870
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: had given twenty five million dollars signing Bonus the number

871
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: three overall and traded multiple first round picks. They ended

872
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: up resigning Jimmy Garoppolo as the backup who had won

873
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 1: countless games for them and taking them to the Super Bowl,

874
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: and Nate Sudfeld, who was on the roster they gave

875
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: two million dollars to guarantee, so for him to get

876
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: it out of the mud, like Tom Brady showed up,

877
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: he was a four string quarterback. That's hard. That's hard

878
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: anyone who shows up to a job and you are

879
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: way low on the totem pole and you just got

880
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: to start climbing past people like you don't usually do

881
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: it overnight, take some time, and he also needed opportunities.

882
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: Like I saw Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo play with

883
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: the team that he was on. They weren't as good. Obviously,

884
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: if you put Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen the Niners,

885
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: their offense would be incredible. But I keep saying, like,

886
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: why are we comparing him to those guys. I mean,

887
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: you're talking like all time great talents. This guy was

888
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft. I think the hate

889
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: simply has to go with like the last pick in

890
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: the draft. He can't be this good because it's not

891
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: like he's talking shit back. He doesn't even fight against it.

892
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, they can think whatever they want. It'd

893
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: be one thing if you kept chirping back. Everyone just

894
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: trips on the outside. And he's just like, yeah, man,

895
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: just trying to play my best, trying to help a

896
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: team win. He just doesn't say anything. Maybe one day

897
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: he'll kind of be like that, but he doesn't really

898
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: attack back, that's for sure. Are we sure Belichick is

899
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: that all caps good of an NFL head coach? It

900
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: sounds like an asinine question when you look at his

901
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 1: accolades question second most winning NFL coach ever, but him

902
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: not being hired speaks volumes to me. There's been a

903
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: volley of coaches off his tree that have not been good.

904
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: They've been terrible. Are we sure he's not in a

905
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: similar boat if we exclude the years of Brady, which

906
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: was twenty years, which may seem unfair, but as Tom

907
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: brady accolades and records would tell you, you have the best

908
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: a mediocre coach. Thoughts. How am I going to try

909
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 1: to describe this? I do think it's fair to question

910
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: Belichick in terms of teaching his assistant coaches. He was

911
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: terrible at it. Personnel guy in the draft, very very

912
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: hit or miss. But we watched for twenty years a

913
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of his teams not be as talented as the opponent,

914
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: not have as many Pro Bowl guys. I know he

915
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady, but how many games did they win

916
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: with a defensive play, with a scheme without coaching the opponent? Like,

917
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: we can't forget that just because we're a couple of

918
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 1: years removed for twenty fucking years. That's why the notion

919
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: of like, ohose division sucked. Let's remove the division. How

920
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: many times did he play Peyton Manning on the culture

921
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: Denver or Mike Tomlin with Pittsburgh or John Harball with

922
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens or whoever the other good team was Kubiak

923
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: and the Texans is up coming team and just destroy

924
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: them or find a way to ruin their great season.

925
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: It happened over and over and over again. So to me,

926
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick the coach is really good in terms of

927
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: him running the entire organization in twenty twenty four an

928
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: offensive league, letting him be the GM. I understand the pushback.

929
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 1: I do. Now, if I was Atlanta, I would have

930
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: hired Bill Belichick. I would have and I listened Rohie Morris.

931
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: His resume speaks for itself. Everyone that's high level guy

932
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: in the league loves the guy. I'm not saying he's

933
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: not a valuable candidate and shouldn't have got hired. But

934
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: over Bill Belichick, I think that's kind of crazy. If

935
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: the reason you hired or didn't hire Belichick was because

936
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,479
Speaker 1: Rich McKay didn't want him, like, I'm sorry, I would

937
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: have gone with Bill. Is there risk involved that they

938
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: had hired Bill? Cause, like Bill, like, you just have

939
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: to pick the players. That just has to happen. Jim

940
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: Harbaugh sixteen million dollars a Year's like, yeah, I need help.

941
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if Bill's really talking like that, and

942
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: if he's not, then that's his problem. But as a coach,

943
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: independently as a coach, I think he's pretty good. I

944
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: think he's pretty good. Now, if you went to a

945
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: team without a quarterback, there's no guarantee that he could

946
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: find one, and yeah, he could struggle. But if you

947
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: gave Bill Walsh a roster with no quarterback, probably wouldn't

948
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: be that good either. Like all great coaches, Bill Parcells

949
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: had Lawrence Taylor and Belichick as his defensive coordinator. When

950
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: you watched either a forty nine er documentary or that

951
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: Two Bills documentary, they took his game plans against the

952
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: greatest offenses ever in Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, and he

953
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: punked them in big moments and they put him in

954
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Parcells was not the scheme guy

955
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: Belichick was. You could argue he's the greatest defensive coordinator

956
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Bill Belichick. Offensively, yeah, I mean he's

957
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: very dependent on his offensive coordinator, as a lot of

958
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: defensive coaches are. But in terms of game plan, in

959
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: terms of understanding and other team strengths and weaknesses, I

960
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: think Bill's pretty good. I think he's deserving to be

961
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: considered the greatest coach of all time. Look at Greg

962
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: Popovich without Tim Duncan, it's a fucking joke. So it's

963
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: most coaches. If I give you a bad team, like listen,

964
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: coaching great players is difficult. You could argue it's harder.

965
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: Everyone's like well, Phil JACKSONID, Michael Kobe, and Shack. How

966
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: many guys could handle him? Not everybody could a lot

967
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: of those coaches that tried, those guys ran out of town.

968
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: They wouldn't listen to, they wouldn't take seriously. Shaq called

969
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: stan Van Gundy was one of the all time frauds.

970
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: The master of Panic ran his asse out of town.

971
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: Stan Van. I don't watch that much NBA, but what

972
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: if I turn on TNT in TNT game and he's on.

973
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: That's an immediate change. Not sure you saw, but Adam

974
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: Silver somehow got a contract extension, remaining commissioner through twenty thirty.

975
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: Does the NBA enjoy losing money and getting run into

976
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: the ground at the helm? What's the thing? The TV

977
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: networks are taking a bath financially. The NFL is on

978
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: fixed amount of money from them, so you can't lose

979
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: money when it's fixed. Right, You're signed to a deal

980
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: that you're not living up to, but under contract they

981
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: got to keep paying you. And part of I think

982
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned this on a podcast a while ago. All

983
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: these commissioners think of the last three major commissioners in

984
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: the three major pro sports Manfred Silver and Goodell who

985
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: took over for C League. Stern and Godell's been in

986
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: for so long, was it, Pete rosell or Tagliabu, all

987
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 1: guys from the league. This is not the normal private

988
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: sector where you can hire from outside. You hire from within.

989
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: It's too complicated of a business. It's a unique business too,

990
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: because you're answering to these you don't own the business.

991
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: You're not even technically the CEO. You're speaking for the owners.

992
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm not defending Adam Silver, but it's all These commissioner

993
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: jobs are not easy. He's done a terrible job because

994
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: he refuses to draw a line in the sand until

995
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: it's too late. Now it's been a disaster, but Goodell

996
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: gets destroyed. I mean the print journalism. Guys hate Roger.

997
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, some bitterness. He's not nice to him.

998
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't quite know the deal. It's like, guys, the

999
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: NFL has never been more successful right now. It's very bizarre.

1000
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: I can't. I thought. Maybe it's just like we're prone

1001
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 1: to hate management slash leadership unless it's someone in office

1002
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: that we vote for, then we'll like them no matter what.

1003
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: It's a bizarre thing the media does. Secondly, I despise

1004
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: the new onside kick rule that is implemented. A few

1005
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: years ago. They made an already low percentage play practically

1006
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: practically impossible to convert. I think he means like, you

1007
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: can't take people out. Why don't special teams coordinators have

1008
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: their kickers rifle a squibkick as hard as possible at

1009
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: one of the guys in the front line. What's the

1010
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: worst thing that could happen. They don't recover the kick

1011
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: and it goes out of bounds. In my opinion, that

1012
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: would improve the odds. Yeah, I mean I an on

1013
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: side kick. It is such a low percentage. When they

1014
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: go to the on side kick, you assume sitting on

1015
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: the couch, whether you're gambling on the game, whether it's

1016
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: your team. You know, depending on what side you are,

1017
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: if you're on the side that's kicking the on side kick,

1018
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: you're like, we lost. If you're on the side that's

1019
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: getting the on side kick, you say we won. I

1020
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: know a lot of people have pushed back on how

1021
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: kicking shouldn't be a big part of the NFL. I

1022
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: don't hate it. Obviously, a kicker has nothing in common

1023
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: with a linebacker or running back. But like putting in

1024
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: golf has nothing in common with driving or approach shot. Right,

1025
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: it's it's it's kind of stupid when you think about it,

1026
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: but it's a huge part of the sport hobby. However,

1027
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: you want to consider it no different than football, like

1028
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown, moving the ball, tackling. Everything about football

1029
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: is really really hard, and kicking the field goal doesn't

1030
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: have much in common with anything you see ninety five

1031
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: percent of the game. I don't have a problem with

1032
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: it now. It does suck when you lose a massive

1033
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: game because your kicker misses. It's also pretty fun when

1034
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: your kicker hits the game winning field goal. Kickers don't

1035
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: bother me as much in terms of like they're too

1036
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: relevant or they're too important and they shouldn't be. I

1037
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: just I it doesn't. It doesn't like deep inside me

1038
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 1: make me mad like it does for some people. Big

1039
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: Raiders fan and whether the Caleb doesn't want to be

1040
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: a bear stuff is real. It's sparked a lot of

1041
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: trade arguments in the fan base since getting Cliff. Obviously

1042
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: at the time you thought you got Cliff. Now he's

1043
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: in Washington and pierces ties to Jaden. My question is

1044
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: being in a division with the Chiefs and now the Chargers,

1045
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: getting Harbaugh wouldn't take a swing on a stud young quarterback.

1046
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Be right now, if it doesn't work, you weren't winning

1047
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: anyways unless a miracle happened. And if it does, you

1048
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: now have a great quarterback and a talented young roster.

1049
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: My guess would be this guy's a graphic designer. He's

1050
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: got a pretty cool page. I would imagine they're going

1051
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: to trade up to take it a quarterback because what

1052
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: are their options in free agency? I guess get get

1053
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: see he's seen Kirk Cousins. Maybe he would make some

1054
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: sense in that offense coming off of Achilles, though they

1055
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: just signed Jimmy Garoppolo, who they'll probably cut or trade. Yeah,

1056
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: it would not shock me if on draft Day the

1057
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Raiders go from like thirteen to five or six, trade

1058
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: next year's first round pick and take a big swing

1059
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks. I just get back to if the

1060
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: first three quarterbacks they'll go one, two, three, Are you

1061
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: trading all that for the fourth or fifth quarterback on

1062
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: the board. Now, maybe that's the third quarterback on your

1063
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: board or the second quarterback on your board. It's just

1064
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: pretty risky. Like ultimately, when the Chiefs traded up for

1065
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes at ten and Watson at twelve with the Texans.

1066
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Those were the second and third quarterbacks off the board, right,

1067
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Trubisky went two, which is crazy, and then those guys,

1068
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, the next quarterback went ten to twelve. I'm

1069
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: hoping the Bears dump fields. However, it seems like Caleb

1070
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: wants nothing to do with Chicago. Clearly Colin mentioned this

1071
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: on the podcast we talked about, and he obviously rolled

1072
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: it back of like, listen, they want to go to

1073
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: an offensive place. You know, his dad plays a big

1074
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: role in this in terms of the perception talking in

1075
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: the background. Uh, I don't even think it's that crazy.

1076
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: If your fields to go like Eberflus, you're in the

1077
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: hot seat. I'm gonna go to you like kind of crazy. Though,

1078
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: if Caleb Williams you go to the Chicago Bears resurrect

1079
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: that franchise, you'd be a fucking rock star. Now you

1080
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: can argue, I'm already you see my bank count rich.

1081
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: Assuming the Commanders want Williams and would trade up for him,

1082
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: what additional picks players do you think the Bears could get?

1083
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Would you guess they do may with Commanders number two pick,

1084
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: But could you what else could you get in return?

1085
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Never like golf, but your golo pod got me into

1086
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: golf betting, so I appreciate that. I would imagine that

1087
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: uh to go from two to one, given that other teams,

1088
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: like what would the Raiders from thirteen to one give

1089
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: up for Caleb Williams. We'll give you thirteen, two more

1090
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: ones and probably a player. I would guess you'd have

1091
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: to go two to one. I'd have to give you

1092
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: next year's one and maybe a two. You're only moving

1093
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: back one spot, but I that'd be a lot. I

1094
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: remember when the when the Bears traded up with the

1095
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Niners from three to two to get Trubisky. I think

1096
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: they gave a second, a third, and like next year's fourth,

1097
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: So that that's some context of moving up one spot

1098
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:45,919
Speaker 1: for quarterback. No, Trubisky is not exactly Caleb Williams even

1099
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: as a prospect right at the same time. So second

1100
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: third was a second third and maybe another third. I

1101
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: forget the exact trade, but it was definitely a two

1102
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: and a three. Maybe you're looking at a one to two.

1103
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I still don't miss an episode. I'm stationed out here

1104
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: in Japan in the Navy. Appreciate your service, bro. It

1105
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: was Kevin, I know you said about why Ben Johnson

1106
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: stayed with the Lions and your vid just wondering what

1107
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: your thought was about. Breer said in the Monday Morning

1108
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: Quarterback about him not interviewing, Well, I've talked about this

1109
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: and other people have said this too. I was told

1110
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: like six months ago that last year he didn't feel

1111
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: very comfortable, like he wasn't ready for the job. I

1112
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: think anytime you're apprehensive about something, anytime you're confident, like

1113
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: you walk in, Like if Mike Rabel interviews for your job,

1114
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: I'll promise you this, he's gonna be confident, cocky and

1115
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get the job. I remember when Jack

1116
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 1: someone told me Jack del Rio when he interviewed for

1117
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders, told someone close to him like, I'm gonna

1118
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: crush this job and have the job by the end

1119
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: of the day. And Jack Jack was a very confident guy.

1120
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: A lot of coaches McVeigh, Tomlin, Raheem, Morris Kyle like

1121
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: these guys have like an innercockiness, tom Dan Campbell like

1122
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: they have a deep belief in themselves. Andy Reid, I've

1123
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: seen Pat Hill. I remember when I worked at President State,

1124
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,919
Speaker 1: was like this fucking guy, this guy's belief deep down

1125
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: in his soul, you know, in himself, Pete Carroll, you

1126
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: gotta have this deep burning belief in yourself as a coach.

1127
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: And if you don't, and that about leading the group,

1128
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: not about scheming, not about like drawing a play on

1129
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: the board, about being the boss, and if you don't

1130
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: have that, it probably shows. And now words out like

1131
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: is this guy unsure? And I wonder if that shows

1132
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: in his interviews? And listen, he's thirty seven years old.

1133
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,479
Speaker 1: What if he's not ready to be a head coach

1134
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: within five years. A lot of guys aren't meant to

1135
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: be head coaches. There's nothing even wrong with that. I

1136
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: think this notion that you have to be a head

1137
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: coach is kind of crazy, like not everyone has to

1138
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: be the general manager or the CEO. In regards to

1139
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: how the Super Bowl refs are chosen, my friend is

1140
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: an NFL ref and the NFL has an independent team

1141
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: come and evaluate referees. Those who perform the best over

1142
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: the course of the season are selected for the playoffs,

1143
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl refs are chosen from that pool.

1144
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: Didn't know that. Now, the actual question, as a Patriot fan,

1145
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: is there any path to us being good in the

1146
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: division within the next two seasons, between the Bills and

1147
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Miami's explosive offense, and the Jets with the

1148
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Rogers assuming health, I can't see a situation that we

1149
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: aren't just fucked well. I was thinking about this the

1150
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: other day, is like, if you're Robert Salah, how happy

1151
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: are you that Bill's gone? I mean, he just destroyed

1152
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks. And I understand Rogers is now coming back,

1153
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: but that's everyone in that division is glad to see

1154
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Belichick going. Let's face it, if you told all those coaches,

1155
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: especially the offensive ones Mike Daniel, Joe Brady and I

1156
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: didn't even count in Nathaniel Hackett, but would you rather

1157
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: go against Bill Belichick or a new coach? They would

1158
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: all say a new coach. If you strike oil with

1159
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback, anything's possible. The Ravens weren't shambles. John Harball

1160
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: was going to get fired, and then Lamar Jackson happened,

1161
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: and by the middle of the season he started and

1162
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 1: they made the playoffs. So to me, if I tell

1163
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: you, you get Jayden Daniels, And if I tell you this,

1164
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is in the running to be the rookie

1165
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: of the year, and by the second year he's throwing

1166
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns and he can run for five six hundred yards.

1167
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I bet we're pretty decent. I bet we're pretty competitive

1168
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:48,479
Speaker 1: because you would say the infrastructure. Defensively, Gerid Males played

1169
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: a big part of that, right. He was Bill's Bill

1170
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really do titles, but you know he was technically

1171
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. Offensively, if they just get a good quarterback,

1172
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: you can be competitive. Now, how drowd mail is going

1173
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: to be as a head coach? How does any of

1174
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: us know calling timeouts, game management, having the team ready.

1175
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: It's always funny when a coaching staff gets gets hired.

1176
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: Everything positive or like, God, we love this guy, we

1177
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: love this energy. This guy is such a breath of

1178
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 1: fresh air. Everyone in the building is just all the players.

1179
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 1: They're also happy. Everyone's just in such a good mood.

1180
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Starting in you know, February March, the draft, everyone's smiling, OTAs,

1181
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: everyone's happy training camp. You know, people start being a

1182
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: little on edge because they start realizing we might not

1183
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: be that good. Then the game's happen. So for the

1184
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 1: next after the super Bowl, for the next six months,

1185
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 1: it's all a bunch of hypotheticals, and the majority of

1186
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: the hypotheticals tend to be happy. Oh they're loving this guy. Man.

1187
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Everyone's just reacting to the new scheme he's implementing. He's

1188
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: changed the weight room we now you know he moves.

1189
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to eat with a dude from your

1190
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: position group. You got to eat with a guy on

1191
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. Relationships, man, we're all

1192
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: such barbecues. We went to a barbecue at coach's house.

1193
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just rinse, washed, repeat, and then October

1194
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: first happens and you're one to three. It's like, yeah,

1195
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: we're fucked. Everyone hates each other now. So I'm not

1196
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: trying to be Debbie Downer, but it's impossible to tell

1197
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: with a guy that's never coached in terms of being

1198
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: a head coach and the quarterback situation, which I would

1199
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: imagine you're gonna have a rookie quarterback. Yeah. I also

1200
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: think the thing with the Patriots, like, are they gonna

1201
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: cut mac Jones? Are they gonna trade mac Jones? Does

1202
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: mac Jones? Is he a tradable player that's gonna be

1203
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch If I was a betting man, He's

1204
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: not gonna be on the Patriots next year, but are

1205
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: we sure? You never know? Could you just keep them

1206
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: and then draft another guy, have him start the season,

1207
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: the other guy come in. You never know, dry Mail

1208
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: just want to start fresh and just get rid of him.

1209
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I would imagine cutting him is on the table, But

1210
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: I would also guess some team would be willing to

1211
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: make him the backup quarterback. Would Kyle Shanahan trade you

1212
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 1: like a fourth round pick for him? Probably long winded

1213
