16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: until half a minute before the show. I was trying

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: to cram in some prep time. Well, you know, Wes,

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: You could have at some point in the hour before

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: the show been like, hey, Dan, did you ever send

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: out a rundown? And I would have been like, oh,

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: maybe I forgot to put your name on it here.

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Let me forward this to you, bro. Would you like

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: to hear my point of view on that shore? Go ahead? Well,

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: you were over there working away. I figured I didn't

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: want to interrupt your concentrate. Oh, plus, may have your

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: room to breathe over there. Plus, you know, basing it

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: on prior run done sending, you could have thought maybe

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a last minute, a late one.

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes that one trust the system, Trust the system, all right.

30
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: You know what. Here's the thing, though, I believe you

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: are such a talent West that even with this minimal

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: amount of prep time, you're gonna hit it out of

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: the park. Thank you. That's a different story than before

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: the show when you were trying to replace me. But

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: they're now you're doing inside jokes and that now the

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: real question though, Just to bring this home, Hey, Greg,

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you're ready to rock? I'm not ready to rock. A

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Greg's not a rock guy, No, he's not. He likes

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: some rock music, but he doesn't hear more of a

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: hip hop guy. No, that's a misnomer. I mean, I

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: love I love rock too, or I love a lot

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: of Misconsinger songwriters. You're right, maybe it's a little soft,

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: softer stuff in general. I find there to be a

44
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: lot of misconceptions around Greg. Like on Twitter the other

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: day somebody was like, oh, Dan and West are so funny.

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Even Greg was kind of funny on this show. I

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: was like, whoa Rosie slays. Well, yeah, you're unfair. Your

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: guys response was almost more insulting than uh than that

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: guy what I complimented you. Yeah, it was like, you

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: don't even need to respond. I said, the boss could

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: a machine lately? See that was a little backhanded mine, Greg,

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: I believe I deserve an apology. Mine was Greg slays.

53
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: That's that's a comedy term for someone that's doing well

54
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: in the world. I think your friends are friends, have

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: your back. I am. I'm happy. I bet if your boy,

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: just Genleneck would have been like, oh Greg slays, you

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: would have been like, oh, that's a big compliment. But

58
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: coming from the old suser, it's like you think I'm

59
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: taking a shot. It always comes back to our I

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. That's it's such ancient history

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: at this point. Uh. Welcome to the Around the NFL podcast,

Speaker 1: Maniacs have a Jack Carollac song. Mark familiar with their catalog.

85
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I like a lot of non hip hop,

86
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't throw ten thousand maniacs into that. Uh.

87
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: And but and speaking of Mark and photos and Instagram. Uh,

88
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: some unexpected and frankly delightful heat between the kissing cousins

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: popped up before the show. Chris westling Uh, just like

90
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 1: he gets upset that his bits are underappreciated on the show,

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: upset that Mark gets adulation for his Instagram feed is

92
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: artistic merits as as a photog for this is a

93
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: direct quote from West. West says, I'm a great photographer.

94
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: To check out my sunsets. No, here's the direct quote

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: from West though. Uh, because Greg asked, oh, do people

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: actually like Mark's photos? They think he does like a

97
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: nice job artistic paraphrasing, and you're not that's the basic

98
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: gist of what you said. That's not true. Now you're

99
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: making Oh my god, No, you said, oh people are

100
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: you know, like he was saying, people who are really

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: super complimentary of his photography to the point where I

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: was annoying him. And I was like, I did say

103
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: it annoyed me. This is a lot of mischaracterization going on.

104
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: Here's West's exact quote. Mark quote tries to do l

105
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: a empty streets. That's not much to read into that.

106
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty much black and white. Did you

107
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: say it's black and white like most of his photos?

108
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Did you say it shot right there too? Good joke?

109
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Did you say it now? We're now we're in on

110
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: all your jokes there. This is a bit that's gonna

111
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: have to do. I just think I'm not a big

112
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: like pun humor guy. So maybe that's part of the

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: reasons I don't like puns. You're a big pun guy.

114
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a hate pun Most of your bits that

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: that we miss our puns, No, they're not. How would

116
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: you know if you miss them or not? Because you

117
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: never hear that because the listeners always, you know, snitch

118
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: or not. It is there in your Twitter biout, you know,

119
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: like pun pun x Twitter bio unheavy football analysts. Alright,

120
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: today's show. You're right, you're right, go ahead. I'm not

121
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: annoyed at that. Mark's Instagram feed is one of my

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: favorites that I have. I really enjoy it. I just

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: use it as a little motivation motivation, just like you

124
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: assume that the minor league baseball player was gonna out

125
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: hit me in softball and that race was called months ago.

126
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Uh wait a second, Now you're taking shots at our

127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: shortstop Tony Garcia. No, he's our second best hitter on

128
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: the team. Wow, is he our second best player? That

129
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: he might be a better all around player than you? Well,

130
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: there you go. West has been ex and hitter uh

131
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: uh and a great teammate, but a little he's really

132
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: he needs that. He needs that. Yeah, he's like the

133
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: he's like a David Ortiz type, a great hitter, but

134
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: his feet are burning every time he has to run around.

135
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: That's not true. And that's not even close to first

136
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: a third. Last week, we go first to third on

137
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: this team. Um. On today's show, we have a little

138
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: bit of news to get too quiet time of the year. Uh.

139
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: We will talk about based off something Jameson Crowder said

140
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: of the Redskins, he believes Washington has the best wide

141
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: receiver group in the NFL. We'll talk about if that

142
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: is even remotely accurate, and if not, who does have

143
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: the best wide receivers? Gregg, you wrote a banger along

144
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: those same lines. Correct, It's a mid mid banger. You know,

145
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: that peak form, but not a hard banger, just like

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: a soft banging. Yeah, okay, we will get our old

147
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: friend Kevin Patra coming at you on the phone where

148
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about his personal life. That's an

149
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: important thing to talk about. But also, uh, we'll talk

150
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: about what teams that have never won a Super Bowl

151
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: have the best chance this year to win a Super Bowl.

152
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: And um, we bring that up because the Cleveland Cavaliers,

153
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: of course won their first NBA title UH in team

154
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: history on Sunday, So a lot to get to. Uh.

155
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: And before the before we do that, we'll check with

156
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Irish behind the glass. What's up, buddy? Nothing much I

157
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: do have to back ups on the leadership on the

158
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: softball team. Nothing fueled me more than last week when

159
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: he yelled at me, you don't mean anything, um, And

160
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: that was that really cooled me. Taken out of context,

161
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of out of context moments that we were

162
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: down by four runs and he had a leadoff single

163
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: in the So it's not an existential statement, you just

164
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: don't mean anything. As a base runner at that point,

165
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: I know no I knew what you meant, but you

166
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna take it as fuel. Like any great

167
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: athlete would. How about some more fuel? How about if

168
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: you bet leadoff for us tomorrow night? Oh you know what,

169
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: coach tell me where to hit and I'm gonna hit.

170
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: Well you'll find out how tomorrow. But we're leaning towards

171
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: that direction. That's fine. Uh. Speaking of Irish, Ireland is

172
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: playing in the euro Cup and I have it on

173
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: a TV in the studio right now. No score eighty

174
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: first minute and the Irish are eliminated from Cup contention

175
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: if they if they if it stays this way, or

176
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: if they lose. So you know, Irish, I know you're

177
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: watching this closer. I have it on in here as well,

178
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: in my little room, so I gotta keep an eye

179
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: on Greg being dismissive, sneaky AUNTI Irish and a big

180
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: spot there. Well you're you're the biggest turn coat since

181
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: the Verizon guy switched the sprint here. You know. Whatever

182
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: happened to the old US of A. Well, they're rooting

183
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: on them last night. They're out. Okay, let's just go root.

184
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: It's another country that's wrong with that one. Separate tournaments

185
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: number one. Let we're out number two. This is America.

186
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: All of us are have come from other places. That's one.

187
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: I'm not for Germany. I'll tell you that. Well, you

188
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: might have other issues, but I have Irish blood and

189
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: you know I'm going to support the Irish. Now, if

190
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: the US was playing Ireland to the World Cup USA,

191
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: these colors don't run, okay. But right now, it's all right,

192
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: let's listen new man man Now what all right? Colleen

193
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: asport and there it was. That was the clown? Who

194
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: should check on that? The pole? Real quick? I threw

195
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: up a poll. What was the best? Now what? Uh? Intro?

196
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: And the winner is with almost five sixty votes cast,

197
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: the clown does win thirty of the vote, beating out

198
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: the panic coward, Uh, the gay German disco and eight

199
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: and dramatic actor. Let's give the clown it's do now what?

200
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: And Greg you're upset because you loved the panic coward?

201
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: Man Man? No, but yeah, I I disagree with the

202
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: premise that it has to go buy a Twitter poll.

203
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: I think we should just decide. You trusting the people

204
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: to decide things. That's not always the best way to

205
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: do things. That's how Two and a half Men becomes

206
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the most popular show in America. Fair enough, but this

207
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: also once again shows your anti family. Let's go iras

208
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: put it in, Oh, get in. Oh he blew it,

209
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: you'll blow it. Um. Great podcasting there, yelling and screaming

210
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: about a game that ended hours ago. By the time

211
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: people listen to this. Um. All right, you know, Greg,

212
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: write down with your pessimism on. Come on, captain, no

213
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: fund general alright, started with some news. Actually it's start

214
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: with talk about hot butts. We hear that that's a

215
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: butt roasting. That's flesh. Thomas Demetrov enters his ninth season

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: nine seasons is the GM of the Atlanta Falcons. They've

217
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs in three straight years. Uh. He lost

218
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: some of his poll in the organization last year to

219
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Scott Pioli, the team's GM Irish. The Irish put one

220
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: in by cane behind that. Okay, all right, well with

221
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: a bloke named Brady. Oh that's beautiful. Look at those flags.

222
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: All right, awesome, all right, now, hold on to it.

223
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I were six minutes anyway, so uh, Dimitrov understands he's

224
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: under the microscope. Here's what he had to say. Of course,

225
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm on the hot hot seat. Every year, I'm on

226
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: the hot seat. He told the Talk of Fame network,

227
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: which is apparently a thing. I believe that. I believe

228
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: anyone who doesn't think they are maybe just and doesn't

229
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: think they are maybe just one a super Bowl. But

230
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I think most of us know it's a very urgent league. Now,

231
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: uh Dimitrov, Yeah, I think that's pretty obvious. He's on

232
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: the hot seat. Let me ask you this. I'll start

233
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: with Greg on this one. Is there anybody or who

234
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: are the other coaches or excuse me, g ms or

235
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: front office figures like uh Dimitrov who are maybe even

236
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: have warmer butts than Demetrov right now or close to it? Well,

237
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I think you'd start in Buffalo. Oh yeah, Doulon, Doug,

238
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: that would that would be one. I don't know. If

239
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: it's hotter than it's got to be close. He's beloved

240
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: by the Pagoulas seems to be, but they also had

241
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: to release a statement at the end of last year

242
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: that they were keeping him, which is never a good sign.

243
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: So he comes to mind quickly. I think David Dave calledwell,

244
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: people that want to hear it here and the plan

245
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: seems to be working in Jacksonville. And yet if they

246
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: go three and thirteen, four and twelve. There's got to

247
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: be a chance that they would change. I think calls

248
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: on the hot seat at all. I think Gus Brandley

249
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: might be that's that's more. That's more likely. Demetrov's did

250
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: interesting one too, because I mean, this is a guy

251
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: who brought about the greatest era in Atlanta Falcons history.

252
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, I mean, the second he came

253
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: in there, they've started meeting, winning immediately and consistently for

254
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: the first time ever. And yet the last three years

255
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: four wins, six wins eat winds and if they go

256
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: back under five, I wouldn't be surprised if they blow

257
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: that whole thing up. Well, I mean, just look at

258
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: this podcast. We it's anathema to talk about the Atlanta

259
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: Falcons because they're that boring. That's the roster that Dimitrof

260
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: has put together. There must be a thought to moving

261
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: into a new stadium you kind of want to have,

262
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: like they they're not gonna want to move into a

263
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: new stadium with the stink of of a group that

264
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: hasn't won in four or five straight years. They're gonna

265
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: want to give someone else a crack with With Matt Ryan,

266
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: have we said less sneed less Need. I don't know

267
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: if he's on I don't know. I think Jeff it's

268
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: I think it's the same thing where I think Jeff

269
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: Fisher might lose his job before less Need about Jerry Reese.

270
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Reese is definitely that's a hot but but but back

271
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: to Sneed, like, I think that Snead and Fisher have

272
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: been so so hot, I mean so hot, butts um

273
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: so closely tied together. I mean they they've been arm

274
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: in arm uh more than really any other pairing in

275
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: the league. I feel like, so for one to get

276
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: get thrown out the other not to One thing that

277
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: could working in Fisher and sneats favor is that their

278
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: stadium isn't opening until and that might even buy them

279
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: that extra year and Jared goff in theory depending on

280
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: buy them an extra year. Um, what about Jerry Jones

281
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: a hundred years and now Jerry Jones won't be on

282
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: this earth and he'll still be the GM of the Cowboys,

283
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: mark my words, all right, anything else on that, guys,

284
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: Let's move on alright. Pete Carroll believes that Russell Wilson,

285
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: who is entering his fifth season, I believe UH is

286
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: under the impression that Russell Wilson is now a quote

287
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: true veteran. His ability to move defenders with his eyes.

288
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: That's what Carol had to say to set up some things.

289
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: He's consistently doing that, almost unconsciously. He's so clued in.

290
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: We we saw him throw the ball all over the

291
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: field throughout the offseason. He's been strong and accurate and

292
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: really cise about this stuff. He has had a great offseason.

293
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: This is year five. It has taken all of this

294
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: time to get to this point, and he'll improve, but

295
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: you can really see him as a real true that

296
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Now West, what does that mean? Because obviously Russell Wilson

297
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: two times Super Bowls or it was what the two

298
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: super Bowls won one, he's obviously a true veteran at

299
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: this point. But what is Carol saying to us this

300
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: This quote got raised my eyebrows a little bit because

301
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: it is true that even though he's had success, they

302
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: were a run first team and young quarterbacks. It does

303
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: take a half a decade. We saw that when Matt

304
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Ryan was about in his fifth year. The coaching stap

305
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: was like, all right, this guy can finally bring the

306
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: team to the line of scrimmage. Look across the line,

307
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: get them in the right play, find a week spot

308
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: on the defense and pick on it. All the things

309
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning do. He's not on

310
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: their level now. But Russell Wilson was the best quarterback

311
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL in the second half of the season

312
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: along with Cam Newton last year, and I think that's

313
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: probably when it started clicking for him. And now it

314
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me that Pete Carroll is talking to out

315
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: him becoming a veteran at you know, I think setting

316
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: up defenses, poking holes in it, getting his teammates in

317
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: the right spot, looking at the matchups. I think that's

318
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: all part of it. Well, it's an easy narrative because

319
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is gone, but it's it's overdue to turn

320
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: the team over to Russell Wilson. He played so unbelievably

321
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: well down the stretch, and the Seahawks have always been

322
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: hesitant to be a past first team because that's just

323
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: not how Pete Carroll is wired. But I think for

324
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: fantasy leaguers and for everyone else out there, I would

325
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: expect this team to operate differently this year. They not

326
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: only have a shaky backfield in terms of their running backs,

327
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: but they have great continuity and better talent at wide

328
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: receiver than they've had throughout the Russell Wilson area. You

329
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: have Doug Baldwin, who's about to get his third contract

330
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks, who has coming off as best. You're

331
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, who looks like a star in waiting. You

332
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: have Paul Richardson coming back who has some potential, and

333
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: you have Jermaine Curses your third or fourth. That's a

334
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: good group that's been to get there with Wilson, and

335
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna all start growing up together. This is the

336
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: guy who's never thrown the ball more than five times.

337
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: He's not not even got into five. And Ryan Tannell

338
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: is out there. I'd love to see that offense revolve

339
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: around Wilson to see how good he can really be.

340
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, people don't really talk about it. He almost

341
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: gets overlooked a little bit because his defense is so great.

342
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: But he was the best quarterback in the league for

343
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: the last two months of the season. And if you

344
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, I'm sure Cam was probably right there,

345
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: but that's right there. But he was throwing four touchdowns

346
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: a game and not throwing and not turning the ball

347
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: over for two straight months down the stretch of last season.

348
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: I think he could be a guy. And we'll talk

349
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: about it down the line when we have a fantasy

350
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: football week. I think he's a guy that could end

351
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: up being the next big quarterback in terms of the

352
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: number one stats guy, the number one production guy, and

353
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: you want him on your roster above anybody else. Winn

354
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: surprise me at all. And he's a guy who's the

355
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: first one in the building, last one to leave smart

356
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: high football like you. And it's still according to Pete Carroll,

357
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: took him five years to get to the veteran quarterback spot.

358
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: Took Cam Newton five years to become NB BE. What

359
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: does that say for quarterbacks who aren't quite as good

360
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks? It just takes a long time in the en.

361
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: His numbers, though, are crazy for his career, a hundred

362
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: and six touchdowns, thirty four interceptions. And I never would

363
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: have thought going into last year that going into two

364
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, who do you trust more to have

365
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: a great season, Russell Wilson or Andrew Luck. And I

366
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: think I'm not saying I would rather have Russell Wilson

367
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: than Andrew Luck, But I think there's at least a

368
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: better chance that Luck has some struggles than Russell Wilson.

369
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: I completely trusted Russell Wilson to have that sort of season.

370
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: You're making a face, West, I don't. I'm not playing

371
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: your game. I don't think I have to choose between

372
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: the two. Well, why not? Because they're both Neither one

373
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: of them is going to struggle. That's fair. I agree,

374
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't think either one struggles. And yet, if I

375
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: I believe like out of those that two thousand and

376
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: twelve class, which has obviously lost some people along the

377
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: way in terms of r G three and Tannehill is

378
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: kind of in the middle, but Wilson is almost the

379
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: surest bet right now, is all I'm saying. That's your opinion.

380
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: I say, I'm raising my hands in victory. You guys

381
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: are watching you Luck. I have nothing but supreme confidence

382
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: and Andrew Luck. That's fair. Uh. The Irish just advanced,

383
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: by the way, Good job, Irish. Uh. Speaking of the

384
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, Marshawn Lynch, who is uh you know, retired.

385
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: We believe he says he is. Will take him at

386
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: his word. Old teammate of Russell Wilson. He was on

387
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: sixty minutes sports uh recently, and he had this to

388
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: say about what made him a success, What was the

389
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: secret to his success as a running back. I think

390
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: that's when it just clicked in my mind that if

391
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: you just run through somebody's face, a lot of people

392
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be able to take that over and over

393
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over and over

394
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over and over

395
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: and over and over and over. They just not gonna

396
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: want that. And then as a follow up, the interviewer

397
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: had this to ask, I think there's a deeper metaphor there,

398
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: run through him up face. I'm gonna miss that guy.

399
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: He's the best. You know, we don't say it in

400
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: this era anymore, but football is still about hitting people.

401
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah, and nobody did it better. I mean

402
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: that guy, No wonder he got out of thirty. We

403
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: don't know what we were talking. You know, we're reading

404
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: about Big Poppy with the Red Sox. He said he

405
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: can't even move anywhere his feet hurt so much. I

406
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: can't even imagine that. And Marshall Marshawn Lynch is not

407
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: the type of guy to talk about it, But he's

408
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: got to be sore when he gets up in the morning.

409
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: The amount of abuse that he doled out to defenders

410
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: for a decade in the NFL, some of that comes

411
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: back on himself. So you know, maybe we shouldn't have

412
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: been so surprised that he was a guy that got

413
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: earlier rather than later. I'm not surprised at all any

414
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: time did well with getting the guaranteed money. I'm fired

415
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: up after listening to that speech. Do you can apply

416
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: that to other things in life? For sure? And I

417
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: want to go knock West over like I once did

418
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: over at the NFL Now studio. That's why I've kind

419
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: of fired up. I just what I irish? What's my

420
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: favorite foot or softball? Chere? When you're up to bat,

421
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: hit it in the face? Ye, hit the ball in

422
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: the face. That's what you do when you're hitting um.

423
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: And finally, in the news, J J. Watt, the Houston

424
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: Texans UH Dynamo got into a little Twitter feud with

425
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Mike Florio of p F t UH and you know,

426
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: to me it was said it was all over a

427
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: tweet that J. J. Watts sent out um of himself

428
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: in a very tight USA Soccer jersey and I'm saying

429
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: jersey because, by the way, not for nothing I was.

430
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get more and more into soccer and

431
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm very happy about the Republic of Ireland. Uh. I'll

432
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: go along with you when you talk about you know,

433
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: we're on the pitch and you know it's not a game,

434
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: it's a match. But I can't come with you one kid,

435
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. I cannot calling a grown

436
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: man at or whatever he's wearing, well, you're not calling

437
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: him not where. I'm not calling his outfit. But that's reform.

438
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: It's just uniform. I don't think they're making a judgment.

439
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: First of all, it's very big of you to adopt

440
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: the vocabulary of the word. I'm coming at it from

441
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: a person that watches, well, you're coming at from the

442
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: other side of now, I'm coming at someone that's watches

443
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: tennis and they called the tennis. They call that kits

444
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: because it's like it's the whole uniform. It's not just

445
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: it's not just the jersey, but as opposed to the NFL,

446
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: it's the shirts and shorts. Everybody's got a full uniform, right,

447
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: So that's that's fair. That's called the uniform. I guess

448
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: the kit I think is to you know, say the

449
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. Anyway, I like k okay. So anyway, So

450
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: J J. Watson out of tweet, he's in a skin

451
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: tight USA kit. Uh. It's signed by I guess the

452
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: entire team, and he writes, of course, he writes it

453
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: kit is a bit snug but ready if called upon

454
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: hashtag USA versus Argentina did not go well for the US.

455
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: We're still working on that. But again, West, these cars

456
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: they do not run. What are you want walking? Toby

457
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: Keith song? But then Pro Football Talk replied, and that

458
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: is Mike Florio who runs that account, correct, Raig the

459
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: most part, other people can sit out the links. Yes,

460
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: but if if it's just someone tweeting out some opinions,

461
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: it's Mike Greg used to work for that company. In fact,

462
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: very close with Mike Florio at some point. That's why

463
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get his opinions on this. In a second, uh,

464
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: Florio countered by quote retweeting watts tweet, and then said,

465
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: why does everyone want to talk about me? I'm just

466
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: minding my own business and seeking no attention at all.

467
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: An old what quote and what he's doing. He's getting

468
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: on what for bringing attention to himself and being a

469
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: guy that doesn't have a lot of I guess um

470
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: modesty about himself, which is something we've been talking about forever,

471
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: both on this podcast and uh in written form on

472
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: the end around in other places. And now p F

473
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: t ruined it for you for me once, once Florio

474
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: is involved and he's the one sling in the arrows,

475
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: I no longer feel it's cool to to get on

476
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: what's back because now I don't know who to who

477
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: to root for. The waters have been muddied, and I'm

478
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: getting out here, so r I P what exactly are

479
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: we resting in peace here? J J. Watt criticism. I'm

480
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: no longer February two thousand sixteen through June two six

481
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: been longer than that. I mean it went back all

482
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: the way but even before hard knocks, remember when he

483
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: was rapping. That's a good point. That was like kind

484
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: of peak false humility for J. J. Watt Um. I

485
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: don't follow pro football talk on Twitter because I don't

486
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: need to know when the fifty third guy in the

487
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: roster got released or signed to a minimum contract or whatever.

488
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: Don't we do that on our account too, though that's fair.

489
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Do you follow around the NFL? I do we? We don't.

490
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: We tweet me more meaningful things, um like that a

491
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: little heat there, gimpft and around the NFL. That's not

492
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: true at all. You were saying you agree with the essentially,

493
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: I agree with it. They you agree with his point.

494
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: But I've been on record the whole time about what

495
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: with this stuff? But you know, but then Floria doubled

496
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: down and he wrote a six seventy one word post

497
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: where he, uh, you know, explained his side of this.

498
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that happens in the end of June.

499
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: What what went after you know, what went after him?

500
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: Said to take his saltiness elsewhere. And do you know

501
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: why wat went after him? It's because he feels like

502
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: this when people tear him up. It hits me right

503
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: in the heart. It hits him right there, like he's

504
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: just trying to be himself and people are just coming

505
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: at him like that. It's not cool. You know. This

506
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: is where I would then say, no, he's a phony,

507
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: but that's it and you're done with it. But if

508
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: you said that, then he would be like, oh, that's

509
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: all I know. Listen that that's he's dynamic. I like it.

510
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: This says remind me of um. The song from the

511
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: new movie which quickly left theaters pop Star never stopped stopping.

512
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: I believe about what is it called I'm the Most Humble,

513
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: which is a great I'm so humble. Uh Yeah, that

514
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: movie did not do well. I was one of seven

515
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: people to see in the theaters. I believe it. The

516
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: song is unbelievable. That's what's happening in the news. I'm

517
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: out J. J. Watt. Do whatever you want, buddy. You

518
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: won't see any heat coming from NFL dot com anymore.

519
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: An end around staple no longer gonna either, can't do

520
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: it anymore. The fund's been taking out of it, taken

521
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: out of it, all right, let's talk about it. Jamison

522
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Crowder is uh a wide receiver UM for the Washington Redskins. Uh,

523
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: he's a slot receiver. Had a nice, nice rookie season

524
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: fifty nine for six oh four. So he's part of

525
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: the future there in Washington. UM. Now they've added Josh Dotson,

526
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: of course, and you already had Sean Jackson in the building.

527
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: Pierre Garcon is in the building. You have Jordan's red

528
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: lining lining up a tight end might be the best

529
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: player out of that whole group, might be uh. And

530
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: he was asked on ESPN nine eight UH if he

531
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: believed that the Redskins have the best receiver in the league,

532
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: and he had this to say, Yeah, yeah, we do.

533
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: We think that, you know, we're the best in the league,

534
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: knowing that we've got guys like d Jacks, Pierre Garson,

535
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: Like you said, Jordan Reid, he had a great season

536
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: last year. We even added Vernon Davis a tight end.

537
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: Let's slow down there, but he's still another weapon that

538
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: we can really can really help us out in the

539
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: passing game. And he goes on and on and on. Uh,

540
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: do the Redskins at the best wide receivers in the

541
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: league West or this receiving corps? They have the best,

542
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: They have the best receiver cors in the trainers room.

543
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: How can you count on Jordan read into Shaan Jackson

544
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: to stay healthy all year? I mean it sounds great

545
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 1: in June to say they have they have the best

546
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. I wouldn't put them over the Cardinals

547
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: play any stress. It is on paper and that's a

548
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: fair point. Garson also Uh played through some injuries last year,

549
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: and for what it's where Josh Statson didn't practice for

550
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: most this offseason while he's struggling with the injury. So

551
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a good point. But that is the deepest

552
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: group in the league. I mean that is fine. I

553
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: would take the Cardinals as a much deeper group, throwing J. J.

554
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: Nelson and David Johnson and Darren Fells and Andrea Ellington well.

555
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: For the purpose of this sect from the exercise I

556
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: wrote about, I only counted receivers and tight ends. I

557
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: didn't throw in running backs into the receiver group, which

558
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: definitely would help the Cardinals out and hurt hurt the Redskins.

559
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: But that's five deep in quality. You're going J. J.

560
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Nelson as what your fifth, So you have Fitzgerald Brown,

561
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Floyd Nelson, and then Geron Brown would be your Who's

562
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: gotten rave reviews all off season from Arians and they

563
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: have not used the tight end a ton, although he

564
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Fells has looked good in in spurts for them, especially

565
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: late last year. Redskins are taking you out there in

566
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the four and five spots. So just in terms of depth,

567
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: I would go Washington, But I did rank to your point,

568
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals were my number one, because I think they're better

569
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: in terms of quality. I think you've got an all

570
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: time great coming off an all time game and Fitzgerald.

571
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: You have a great deep threat in Floyd Uh, you

572
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: have Brown who is incredible, and I think Nelson and

573
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: who knows what we'll see out of the rest of

574
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: that team. I think we'll see a better John Brown

575
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: than last year, by the way, who had a nice season,

576
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: no doubt, but he could have been better. He left

577
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: some yards on the field. If he takes the next step,

578
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: even if fits comes down a little bit, which we

579
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: talked about the Superstar Club, that there's a that there's

580
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: some belief at least in this room that not by West,

581
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: of course, that he could take a step back in

582
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: his age thirty two season. If Brown takes a step up,

583
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna stay right at that elite level. At the

584
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver positions. I would take all three of those

585
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals wide receivers over any Redskins wide receiver. I will

586
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: I would not. Wow, that's interesting. They are. They are

587
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: better at the top. Garson as a guy who I've

588
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: always thought is almost underrated, drops some passes, but physical

589
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: great after the catch. Two Sean Jackson. I don't know

590
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: if he's underrated, but he's got a unique skill set.

591
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: It's not like these guys are lousy. And Crowder had

592
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: a great I think Crowder is a good player. And Crowder, Crowder,

593
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: Dotson and read even if Garsona Jackson are gone after

594
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: this year, that's a nice one to three. Crowder looks

595
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: like kind of what you're looking for slack guy, and

596
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: I West is right d Jacks always hurt, but he's

597
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: given no indication that when he is healthy he's still

598
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: the best deep guy in the league. It's a nice

599
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: looking group. Would you put them second? West, No, I

600
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: would take the Patriots. Well. On Greg's list, Greg's having

601
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: the team with Gronk over the team with the all

602
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: the guys who were always injured. Greg has Arizona one,

603
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: Washington two, and you have the Pats three. Well, Gronk,

604
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: to me, is so much better than anyone else at

605
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: tight end and one of the all time best players

606
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: at the position. That's a huge edge right there. I

607
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: think Julian Edelman is obviously a very good receiver, and

608
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: now you have Martellis Bennett would be the number three,

609
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: and you've got some decent depth in Avendola and Hogan. Not.

610
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: The more I look at this, I'm just not as

611
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: impressed with the Redskins as everyone else's. I think I'd

612
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: take give me Damarius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders in any two

613
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: or three bums over the Redskins collection. Really, I I

614
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: disagree because Read, first of all, is a top we

615
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: we think he's the top five receivers when he plays okay,

616
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: which is very rarely. Uh, garsone, Jackson, and Crowder to

617
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: me are all starters and Dots in a lot of

618
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: people thought as the most pro ready guy of any

619
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: of these rookies. So these are quality starters. If you're

620
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: going five deep with quality starters, that's pretty good. Redskins

621
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: have a very high ceiling, but also a very low

622
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: floor as a group if they all get hurt. Of course,

623
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: here's one group, the Jaguars. You have Greg, you have

624
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: them as your your fourth best wide out or a

625
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: receiver group that seems about right. On the check Show

626
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: yesterday I mentioned them when talking about the best wide

627
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: receiver groups, especially if Julius Thomas, let's see, is he

628
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: a little is he trimmed down? Have we seen anything

629
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: in the the O t A right up sir, and

630
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: he's a little peepee last Yes, we have seen a

631
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: few things that he's trimmed down and that you know,

632
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: he's picking up the offense better. We'll see the problem

633
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Let's just let's just wait, let's bring

634
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: this up. Now, you're not allowed to bring it up

635
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: because you once again, as is usual when whether it's

636
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: a scientist or mark, you know, I'm always on the

637
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: defense of the Jets. It doesn't matter what they do.

638
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: Because the best one to combination in football last year

639
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. You would think they would crack a

640
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: top four on a list like this. Brandon Marshall's numbers

641
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: and Eric Decker we're fabulous as a tandem last year.

642
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: And then you go arbitrary, Greg because you you say, oh, well,

643
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: include tight ends in this. But even though it's a

644
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen and teams spread out their offenses, I

645
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: won't allow any receiver group that Corte is one or

646
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: two years removed from one hundred catch season. He will

647
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: be a huge part of the passing game for the

648
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: Jets this year, So I include Matt Forte. So then

649
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: you got Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Matt Forte all

650
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: on the same offense. That is to me, a top

651
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: three receiver group. Well, if you're if you're adding running

652
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: backs in, it changes the whole equation. Yes, not just

653
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: funny that you'll find a way to eliminate the position

654
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: group that will keep the Jets. I like that you

655
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: think that the whole strategy behind it was I see you.

656
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: There were many teams like the Broncos that you mentioned,

657
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders West where the fall off

658
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: after the top two was immense. Not only did a

659
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: team not have a third receiver like the Broncos, but

660
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: they don't have a tight end like the Broncos. The Jets,

661
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: for instance, do not really have a third receiver and

662
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: do not really have a tight end right now. The

663
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: Bucks have Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson's We'll see if

664
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: your boy Cameron brad or Austin Severian jacking step. I'm

665
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm not nominating the Bucks right And the one team

666
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: I that almost made it that that I felt the

667
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: worst about where the Bengals, Because to me, a J Green,

668
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffer and whoever else you can find is a

669
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: great is a great group. But I first also an injured,

670
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: injury prone type of guy. That's a good conversation. Good

671
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: you called a soft banger. It was pretty hard. It

672
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: was medium level. I did pick a couple of teams

673
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: likely to rise. I love that DeVante Parker Jarvis Landry combination.

674
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: You really love the Dolphins. Yeah, are all in? Who

675
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: are we just talking about the other day? Because these receivers. Yes,

676
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: I got a hard banger for you. Okay, why don't

677
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: you rank from one to thirty two each starting quarterback

678
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: according to the weapons they have at their disposal, so

679
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: that that would include the running backs and whatnot. Does

680
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: that include the offensive yes, mm hmmm, it's interesting. I

681
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: like that. I like West given some love to the

682
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: line too, because they don't get called weapons a lot.

683
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: You never hear a left tackle called a weapon, but

684
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: they certainly are. You're tell me, Joe Thomas, the best

685
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: pass blocking uh tackle in the game is not a weapon.

686
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: Keeping heat off you, I'm stepping up. I'm stepping up

687
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: to the plate for Connor war who loves offensive lineman?

688
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: He is, he he does. He's annually the only person

689
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: that nominates an offensive lineman for making the leap. So

690
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, just for diversity. Who's this nominee this year,

691
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: Jake Matthews. Jake the Snake finished off last year pretty well.

692
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: By the way, that Steelers, if they had Martevis Bryant,

693
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: would have been one or two. I'm not telling him.

694
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: By the way, that's the answer to the best wide

695
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: receiver duo in the league list. You're Antonio Brown and

696
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: Martevis Bryant. That's that's true. I think I would take

697
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: them over the Jets. Maybe not total production. I don't

698
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: know if the numbers. Well, Brian sat out the first

699
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: six games of the year and then he came back

700
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: and they were unstoppable. Well, I'm just saying the Jets,

701
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: I'll use that in their defense as well, that there

702
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: was no other options on that offense besides those two guys,

703
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: and they had a top ten offense. I'm not great

704
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I am not gonna like fight you on that.

705
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys are both incredibly explosive. So yeah,

706
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: that's cool. The Stealers can go out of the Jets,

707
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: but the Jets should be in the top four. I'm sorry,

708
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: all right, So who are you taking out the Jags?

709
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the Skins West has got me thinking, now a

710
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of things have to go right for the Skins

711
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: to have a great, white, great offense this year. Quincy

712
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: and Noon, No, I'm telling you that's not a good situation.

713
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: All right? Moving on? Oh can we uh? I were?

714
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: When can we get our good friend, a local tough

715
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: from the city of Chicago, but one of the last

716
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: guys you want to encounter in an alley when the

717
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: chips are down, the resident tough guy of Around the NFL,

718
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: A warrior in the streets, a gentleman in the bedroom,

719
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: and man that's that steps down, steps back from no challenge.

720
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: Our own John snow covered in blood, gasping for air,

721
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: but never giving up. Eventually Brandon will get him on

722
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: the line. I want the rest of the show to

723
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: be stretching out. I wanted to be for ten more minutes,

724
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: and we never even get Patrick on the phone. The

725
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: show just ends like that. A guy with a six

726
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: o'clock shadow. It's a five o'clock shadow, five clock shadow.

727
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: That's like good. Hell's Kevin Patra what's up, buddy, Welcome

728
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: back to the Around the NFL podcast. We were just

729
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: speaking of your glory before this. My glory. Yeah, just

730
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: in general, if you want to listen to three minutes

731
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: of an uncomfortable pumping up of Kevin Patra as we

732
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: waited to get you on the phone, just listen to

733
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: today's podcast. I'll remember. Let's part we um. We have

734
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: a lot to get to with keV about what's going

735
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: on in his life, uh, and what's going on in

736
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: his weight room, and what's going on outside the windows

737
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: he looks down upon the city of Chicago while lifting

738
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: uh stark naked. But before we get to that, we

739
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: want to talk some football with keV. Does that sound cool?

740
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: That sounds great? Can I tell can I tell you

741
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: something good? I just I wanted to vocally congratulate you

742
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: on your new child. Not usually uh pro human procreation,

743
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: but you see, my you got it under control. So

744
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: I like, I really appreciate that. I know what you're saying. Yeah,

745
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: some people that they're they're either not responsible enough to

746
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: bring a child into the world or not. You know,

747
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: don't have the financial warwithal Uh. I know what you're saying,

748
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: but that could be your Twitter bio. Kevin not usually

749
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: in favor of human procreation. How do you feel about

750
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: young children on airplanes. Patrick Patroll learned that the soft

751
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: version of Kevin Patrick will soon learned that that's something

752
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: that a young parent can't really avoid, especially if your

753
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: family lives in different parts of the country. But that

754
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: will say that for another conversation. Let's start right now,

755
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: and what we're gonna talk about is which team will

756
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: be when it's first Super Bowl in two thousand seventeen

757
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: when the trophy is handed off at Reliance Stadium UH

758
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: in Houston. Get excited, everybody. There's thirteen teams, which is surprising.

759
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: You would think they'd be less than thirteen out of

760
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: the thirty two NFL teams that have UH won the

761
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But here's the list, and we you know,

762
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't count AFL titles obviously, Bills, Bengals, Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Titans, Cardinals, Falcons, Panthers, Lions, Vikings, Eagles,

763
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: and the San Diego Superchargers. And for the purpose of

764
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: this exercise, and we'll start with Kevin Patrick here, let's

765
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: let's kind of stay away from the Cardinals and Panthers

766
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: because I think everyone is kind of, you know, has

767
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: a feeling that these are two of the top six

768
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: to eight teams in the league, So you're not really

769
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: hanging onion to say that those are much like the

770
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: Calves were the favorites in the NBA East this season. Well,

771
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what does that have to do with anything.

772
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: Oh I thought we were. I thought this was inspired

773
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: by the Calves winning their first time. Yeah, they cas won.

774
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: But if we did that same exercise before that season started,

775
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: we wouldn't talk about the Calves because they'd be the

776
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: heavy favorite. But well, we can we can wait. I'm

777
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna stand you know what, I'm gonna step back now,

778
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: Greg and West will listen to themselves talk about how

779
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers and Cardinals could win the Super Bowl this year.

780
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead, guys, and then let me know when I

781
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: can get in. Go ahead to teach us something about

782
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: these two teams. They're the favorites to win the Super Bowl.

783
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: Oh that's fascinating. What else, Well, just you have to

784
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: acknowledge off the top. If if the whole ideas which

785
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: teams are most likely to win there for Super Bowl,

786
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: then then you point those teams out. That's what I

787
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: just did, and you guys start you can pick one

788
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: over the other. I think the Cardinals are more likely

789
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: than the Panthers. If you got to pick one, I

790
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: would go Cardinals. Cool. Uh, maybe the Browns. All right,

791
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: so we can all right, I'm jumping back in. Alright,

792
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Panthers are the teams that are most likely,

793
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: now Patrick get us going at besides those two teams,

794
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: which team in that list of those remaining eleven do

795
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: you think has the most realistic chance here? I think

796
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: I would go with the minnesot of Vikings. I think

797
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: on the strength of them, my Simmer, I think they

798
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: could pull off sort of what um, we saw the

799
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: last couple of years with the Panthers getting into the playoffs,

800
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: getting deep into the playoffs on the strength of their defense.

801
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that you guys in that room

802
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: aren't huge Teddy Bridgewater fans, and we've seen much worse

803
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks win Super Bowls. Um. I think with you young core,

804
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: young front seven in the defense, Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks

805
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: coming into their own, I think this could be a

806
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: team that is going to fight with the Packers for

807
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: the NFC North. They'll get into the playoffs as a

808
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: wild card. They should have beat the Seahawks flash years.

809
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: They almost beat the Cardinals in the regular season on

810
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: the on a primetime game, and if Jeddy Bridge and

811
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: screwed up, they probably could have won that game. So

812
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: I think this is a young team that's wots something

813
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: and they got added some new pieces in Lakwan Treadwell.

814
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: I think that they're the team out of the other

815
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: eleven that I would go with. I think Teddy Bridgewater

816
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: would need to be better. You said, we've seen a

817
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: lot of teams win Super Bowls with quarterbacks, you know,

818
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: worse than Teddy Bridge. There haven't been that many. Can

819
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: say a lot. I didn't say a lot. I said,

820
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: we've seen teams with work. Yeah, it's happened. But I

821
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: think he would need to last. Yeah. I think you

822
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: just wouldn't need to take that next step to whether

823
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: it's to two thousand and fifteen Andy Dalton or or

824
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: even you know, just a bordering on a top ten quarterback.

825
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: I think you you need a guy that's willing to

826
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: go down the field a little more, able to go

827
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: down the field a little more. But I think you're right.

828
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: I think this is a team that's set up to win. Now.

829
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,959
Speaker 1: It's a young team, but they've been together a little

830
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: while now, and you have Adrian Peterson still kind of

831
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,959
Speaker 1: at the tail end of his prime, and you gotta

832
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: do it before that ends. The a f C version

833
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: of the Vikings. Yes, the Houston Texas Okay, with a

834
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: very good defense, you could even argue the best in

835
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: the league, or can be the best in the league.

836
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: And then the major question markets quarterback. It's brock ostwald

837
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 1: in the same neighborhood as Teddy Bridgewater. He is, yeah,

838
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean he could be. Is there a situation where

839
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: if you we've talked about it, that Oswilder is a

840
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: huge question mark. Nobody really didn't get paid like he's

841
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: a question mark. But he is. But if if you

842
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: really had to, you know, make a prediction, would he

843
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: be about as good as Teddy Bridgewater. That wouldn't be

844
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: a crazy prediction. So they would be in a very

845
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: same boat. But what if he actually turned out to

846
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: be a good player, then they would be an a

847
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: f C, A real a f C team to to

848
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: worry about. I would think if you're the Patriots or

849
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: anyone else, the key there would be that Dan boy

850
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller would have to become the Adrian Peters some

851
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: of that team. I had something about the Texans. Yeah,

852
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: they they seem like a team in the mix. But

853
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: I think the obvious, the obvious one that we haven't

854
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: mentioned is the Cincinnati Bengals, And that would be my

855
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: choice for sure because that's they've got the best roster

856
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: of any of these teams, and you could make a

857
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: strong argument that they have fewer weaknesses than the Cardinals

858
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: or the Panthers. So I don't think it's crazy to

859
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: even put the Bengals close to their level in terms

860
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: of a team that should be expecting to make the

861
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: playoffs or else it will be a huge disappointment a

862
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,479
Speaker 1: team that does not have any big time weaknesses right

863
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: now and a team that has shown they can make

864
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs at least, they just gotta start figuring out

865
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: how to in some games there. That's also similar to Cleveland.

866
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: It's a team that needs to get the monkey off

867
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: their back after a lot of years of postseason futility. Yeah,

868
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: you can't discount the Demons, and there's no way after

869
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: especially after what happened this past January that and it

870
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: no matter what they do in the regular season, that's

871
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna be something that's on the that team's mind. There's

872
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: gonna be some tightness. You you have to assume that.

873
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: But maybe if Andy Dalton is healthy this time around

874
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: and he's able to build off or have a similar

875
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: season to last season, they have everything there that would

876
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: that would be my pick as well. Greg, But I

877
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: am wary, probably more than other people, uh, of the

878
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: demons factor. And that's why Minnesota is a team that

879
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: really spooks me if you want to get excited about him,

880
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: because so many bad things happened to the Vikings when

881
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: you get to January, and Cincinnati is obviously, uh, it's

882
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: well documented their inability to put a game together when

883
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: it counts. There's some obstacles there, but there's gonna that's

884
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna be true for all these teams, the Bills, the Browns.

885
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: You know, obviously no one thinks the Browns are gonna

886
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl this year. The Chargers. I mean,

887
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: it's one of these teams, the Chargers. Look at the

888
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: postseason heartbreak, that's what that's why they're on this list.

889
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: If everything goes perfectly this year, couldn't you see the

890
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: Chargers winning the Super Bowl? That would have been my

891
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: dark horse pick. Everything went right for that would probably

892
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: like fifth or six, I say, Gordon becomes who they

893
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: thought they were drafting. The offensive line stays healthy, Keenan

894
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: Allen's the number one. Gates has one more Indian Summer year.

895
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: Rivers plays like an m v P. The young defense

896
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: has started to play well last year. Denzel Perriman's an

897
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: All Pro. That's a lot make Joey Bows's Rookie of

898
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: the Year potential, making the leap candidate. Denzel Perriman, By

899
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: the way, it's throwing that out there, there's I don't know.

900
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: The Chargers have some upside. I like this. The headline

901
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: for this podcast, Wesleyan Patra says Chargers could win the

902
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl if everything breaks Yeah, if everything breaks right,

903
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: I like it. I don't think it's that crazy. Uh.

904
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: The Jaguars still seem like they could be a year

905
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: or two away. But they're a very interesting team. If

906
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: you if they take the next step on both sides

907
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, but I mean asking them to do

908
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: it in ten that might be a lot. The Browns

909
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do obviously. The Bills,

910
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: I think we've all been pretty upfront about we don't

911
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 1: think they have their actor. I don't think if we're

912
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: making a list for instance that I know we did

913
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: this last year. Teams that have no chance to win

914
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl just kind of a mean list to

915
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: put together. But you know, this is a is a

916
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 1: league where everyone feels like you have something. I think

917
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: the Bills are not on that list. I think the

918
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: Bills are a team that could win the Super Bowl

919
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: if everything broke. The Chargers club, they're in the Chargers club. Yeah,

920
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: and I would put them even a little below that.

921
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: But it's not an untalented team. You've got some track

922
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: record with the coaching staff. It's not that crazy. Who's

923
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: the West? Who's the best young quarterback on this list?

924
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about them yet. Marcus Mariota, Yeah, I

925
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: thought you men seeing Bradford, are they on the list? West?

926
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: If everything clicks with a young Mariota, a young Montana

927
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: at the controls, could they shock the world this year? Anyone?

928
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: Here's what I would say, if everything clicks, the Titans

929
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: can win the a f C South. I'm not willing

930
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: to say that they can win the super Bowl, much

931
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: more cannot win the super Bowl. Well, we we haven't

932
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: mentioned the elephant in the room here. You're you're Detroit Lions.

933
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick potentially with no Megatron and then they win

934
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But little ewing theory in Motown. Now,

935
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: the ewing theory would have been with Sue last year.

936
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: That would have been what it was. So you're quickly

937
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: you can't lose your two best players back to back

938
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 1: years anything. And how how about the theory floated a

939
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: little while back and I forgot about ease. It's a

940
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: one to punch. But Sue and Megatron gone back to

941
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: back years. That that when you guys got robbed in

942
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: the in Dallas, the window closed in it. Oh it's

943
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: got slammed shut. Yeah, that sucks. I don't think that. Well,

944
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think the Lisa, the Eagles.

945
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: The Eagles you trust Sam Bradford. I think the Eagles

946
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: can make the layoffs. In fact, I'm probably gonna predict.

947
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna gonna predict them to win the

948
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 1: If you got them going to the dance, you gotta

949
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: say they have it there. But he just said the

950
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 1: Titans could be winning the FC South. No, I think

951
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: there is a difference. The Eagles are a great example

952
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs does not mean you are a

953
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender because they made the playoffs under Chip Kelly,

954
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: and there was no scenario if they played that playoffs

955
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: out a hundred times that that team was going to

956
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl. There's always the ninth, tenth, eleven teams,

957
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: and every once in a while someone makes a run

958
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think in a best case scenario,

959
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: that's where they're at losing first round, and it is not.

960
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a coincidence with the only team

961
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about yet is the Atlanta Falcons. Patras

962
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: say something nice about the Falcons about how they could

963
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: be Destiny's Darling. Well, maybe Julio Jones catches like thirty

964
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 1: touchdown passes I would have put a past which would

965
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: be a record. That would be a record, But you

966
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: do you have a quarterback, you have maybe the number

967
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: one receiver in the NFL, and you have a defense

968
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: that was somehow average last year despite very below average talent.

969
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: So maybe that indicates dan Quinn's a pretty good coach

970
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: and could get them going. Alright, I'm not winning the supermol.

971
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: Good talk, guys. Patrick. Now let's touch on a couple

972
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: more things before you go, because it his it has

973
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: been a while. First thing up, let's check in on

974
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: the PBR, the PVR, Yes, the Patrick Body Report. What's

975
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: going on with your body? Is it hot? I mean

976
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: it's summer, so it's it's it's a little bit more

977
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: core work. Try to cut in the summer, bulk in

978
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: the in the winter. That's my usual thing. I just

979
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: started a new new workout program. It's a bunch of

980
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: Aussies essentially yelling at you, kick boxing and on those

981
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. It's also said you have a special

982
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: breakfast program you've been in for a year where you

983
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: don't need a normal breakfast. I just yeah, it's just

984
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: a shakeology thing. It's just to shake every morning, shakelog

985
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: shake aology. And you know you said it's summertime and

986
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: you're cutting now, um, cutting weight at this time of year,

987
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: and you say summer is it kind of like? Right?

988
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: Is it? The is it kind of the thing that

989
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: Bill part the old Bill parcels is um, It's like,

990
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: this is why you lift all them weights because you're

991
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: thinking about being on the beach with your lady and

992
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: it's time to have uh, nice pecks and nice tries

993
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: and a nice flat belly. Well that and I'm I.

994
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm beer drinkers. So you know where that goes, right

995
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:32,959
Speaker 1: through the guts. You gotta you gotta kick some time

996
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: off and you know, concentrate on that part of the

997
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 1: part of the body. And now let's talk about your girlfriend,

998
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: because without it getting into specifics, Yeah, no, it's just

999
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: because Number one, have you found once you get into

1000
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: a committed relationship, Uh, is it harder to or is

1001
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: there still the same drive to stay in peak physical shape? Um? No,

1002
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: for me, it's a routine thing. So that I don't

1003
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: think she can much. I mean she cares clearly, but no, no,

1004
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: that that I don't think that had anything to do

1005
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: it or does have anything to do with it For

1006
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: me personally, I don't know. I can after rest the

1007
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: guys in the room, have you ever put any of

1008
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: her quotes on your motivational quote board? Question mark? Uh? No,

1009
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: absolutely not because then she'd see it. And then finally,

1010
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: I just I want to touch base about how has

1011
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: love changed your philosophy on life? And I point to, uh,

1012
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: your Facebook profile photo, which is a adorable photo of

1013
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: you and your love on a bed. You're it's a

1014
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: selfie shot and it's a soft side of of Kevin

1015
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 1: Patrick that we, frankly West never get to see. Uh,

1016
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful photo. Is this Is this a sign

1017
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: that that love has changed you, that you're perhaps um

1018
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: less cynical, more more in love with the world. If

1019
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 1: you will, you know what, I'll let others be the

1020
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: judge of that. I'm not. I don't know. What's the

1021
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: hardest thing to do is judge yourself, right, I guess

1022
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm I guess I'd say I'm happier. That helps you, Well, yeah,

1023
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: that does help me. I like that you're happier. But

1024
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: do you think you're a little softer, a little softdge

1025
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, it's except for now I have

1026
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: to watch a lot more reality or a lot more

1027
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: reality shows. Yeah, that's part of the deal, that's true.

1028
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: Are you how old are you? Thought? Now? You know

1029
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: you're at that number now? Is there a little pressure

1030
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: to move this thing along? Uh? No, we just moved

1031
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: in together a couple of months ago, so it's moving along.

1032
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: Is just as in the pace it needs to move along.

1033
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: She moved into the Patrick Jim No, no, God, Now,

1034
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: so you don't have the the apartment that's looking down

1035
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,720
Speaker 1: at the projects anymore. That is correct. I missed that place,

1036
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: never was there, but already missing North Chicago, North Chicago,

1037
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 1: the project. But you brought your quote board, uh with

1038
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: you to the new to the new place, right, would

1039
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: you like me to help you add some new material

1040
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: to your white board? Yeah, let's hear it. Uh. I

1041
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: like it when it becomes becomes more natural. But I

1042
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: had something natural for when you told me you were

1043
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: dropping wake this summer. Okay, let's hear it. Let's hear it.

1044
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 1: Are you back down to Gregg's size again? Oh? No,

1045
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: whoa Kevin Patrick? All right, your thoughts Kevin, Um, that's

1046
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: going on the board though, right, we'll see, we'll see

1047
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: to the rest of the pot. So I don't know

1048
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: what you said earlier. By the way, you can ask, uh.

1049
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: You can ask David Eally, who runs their news desk

1050
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: here and anyone else that's on the message clients around

1051
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: five am in the morning out here in the Pacific

1052
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: time zone, if there's it's a softer Kevin Patrick, because

1053
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't found any softer Kevin Patrick in there.

1054
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: He's got some STARp elbows early in the morning, sharp teeth. Well,

1055
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: we don't want you to get to SOP. I guess

1056
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason I was asking those questions.

1057
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: I like Kevi just the way he is. Kevin Patrick,

1058
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us checking in on you. Everything
