00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys all had a good weekend. I made

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: it back to Scottsdale, Arizona, and in the office right now,

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, I went out with Coward.

33
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: We talked a lot of football. You can find it

34
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: on his feed on his YouTube channel, and I thought,

35
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: you know what, I have a million male bag questions.

36
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's do an all mail bag podcast. So you guys know.

37
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: The drill at John middlecoff is the Instagram fire into

38
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: those dms, very very easy to do. Hopefully everyone had

39
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: a good weekend. I'll be honest, I have not done much.

40
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: I made it to the gym twice. But other than that,

41
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I watched some Olympic basketball. I watched Simone Biles battle

42
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: through a little calf injury. Talking about an athlete, she's

43
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: she's a badass. Watch swimming. Watch this one dude on

44
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Germany who in the you know, before they dive in,

45
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: they kind they kind of go left to right. And

46
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: this guy looked like seven feet tall. I'm like, this

47
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: guy's gonna win, and he did, almost broke the world record,

48
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: but but he he won the goal. And so I

49
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: watched some Olympics. Peyton Manning. There's a lot of Peyton Manning,

50
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: who's just all over the snoop dogg Peyton Manning. It's

51
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of Tom Cruise. You never know who you're

52
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna see in Paris. Never been to Paris, but told

53
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: Maria maybe one day we'll go. If you've been to Paris,

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: let me know firing those dms, tell me how it is,

55
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: because kind of looks cool. Eiffel Tower, good coffee, museums.

56
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'd probably if I

57
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: go to Europe again, i'd probably go to Italy because

58
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I like Italy. I feel like Italy's more my speed,

59
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: my style than old Paris. But you know, City of Love,

60
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Brotherly Love Philly. But we're gonna talk a lot of

61
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: football plan this week, football podcast, football pots, and more

62
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: football podcasts because the pads will be popping. I know

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers put on pads on Monday, which

64
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine a lot of teams either Monday or

65
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Tuesday we'll have the pads on. So we'll be getting

66
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: a lot of viral videos, a lot of takes to

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: be flying about, guys looking good, guys looking crappy, and

68
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: you never quite know. But it's better nothing tell you

69
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: that and fun time of year. But you guys know

70
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: the drill. Subscribe to the podcast if you listen on

71
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: Collins YouTube channel. I put out something when Jordan Love

72
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: signed his contract YouTube only so that I think I

73
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: put that out Friday night. I think that that's up

74
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: there if you want to check that out. But just

75
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: my initial reaction to that into a Colin and I

76
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: talked about that as well, and yeah, let's rock and roll.

77
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: But first, before we dive in, I got to tell

78
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: you about my friends, my partners in the official ticketing

79
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: app of this podcast, game Time listen. Baseball playoffs aren't

80
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: that far away, So if you want to go to

81
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: one of those games, if your team's making a little run, obviously,

82
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: football is right around the corner. Been saying forever, it's

83
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: got to be stop to talk and it's got to

84
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: be action. Then I'm going to go to a college

85
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: football game, either this year or next. I'm talking a

86
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: big one, and that still has potential. Some may say

87
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: it's my fortieth birthday this fall, so I gotta do

88
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: something fun and enjoyable for that. So we might have

89
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: to make it to a big college football game. And

90
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: if you want to do one of those things, concerts

91
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: all I hear about. I've been to Vegas and seen

92
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: the sphere, but I've never been to a concert. Obviously

93
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: the Grateful Dead, who I'm not, I don't really listen to.

94
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard one person say that it's not

95
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: an incredible experience seeing a concert there. So if you

96
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: want to do that, I got you covered because of

97
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,279

104
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: our Man Reese mail bag. Twenty twenty eight Olympics in

105
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Los Angeles will feature flag football. How will owners, GMS,

106
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: coaches and players handle this. I'm sure the All Pro

107
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: players would love to go to the Olympics and add

108
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: a gold medal to their resume, but the Olympics will

109
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: overlap with an important portion of offseason practices. Will we

110
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: send veteran players who have earned it and can't afford

111
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: to miss some off season time, or will we send

112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: practice squad players who can achieve the highlight of their career,

113
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: dominate the international competition, pick up some publicity, and not

114
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: cost the team key pieces during an intense portion of

115
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: season prep. I'm sure this helps that the games are

116
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: in LA this year, but can you imagine GMS wanting

117
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: to send All Pro players to a place like Tokyo

118
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: in August? Full disclosure. I obviously seeing stuff on social

119
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: media over the last year about flag football and guys

120
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: like Tyreek, you know, their interest in being involved. I

121
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: do think it's really complicated. You know, when you think

122
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: about basketball and watching this morning, it's kind of crazy

123
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning. You know, obviously Lebron top two or

124
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: three player of all time, Curry and Durant top fifteen players.

125
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: I think Jokich is gonna go down as one of

126
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: the top fifteen players of all time. I mean, he's

127
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: fucking incredible. Excuse my language for all the little kids listening.

128
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: But you don't get injured a lot in basketball, right,

129
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: or at least the injury rate is much smaller. And

130
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: I get it's flag football, but Taran and Achilles, Taring

131
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: and acl I think the risk is so much high,

132
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: even in a seven on seven environment. I had the

133
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: thought I was clicking around the Olympics, and it's crazy

134
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: with the Olympics. One, it's been diluted, like surfing and skateboarding,

135
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to be some boomer hater, but

136
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: those are Olympic sports. But regardless, I was watching some handball,

137
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: which I've never watched before until I think I was

138
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: flipping around the channels on like Saturday, and you just

139
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: go on Peacock and they just got a million things

140
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: that you've missed in the middle of the night, and

141
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I watched handball and one it's just it feels like

142
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: a sport you would have played when you were ten

143
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: years old at recess. But I was thinking if I

144
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: was like a retired athlete in the NBA or definitely

145
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, you would dominate that. You're so much faster,

146
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: You're so much more physical, And I think that would

147
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: be a sport where I don't understand why some of

148
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: these retired guys, especially if you retired or kind of

149
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: forced a retirement in your late twenties early thirties. Rugby

150
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: obviously is a little more physical. But I've said this

151
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: forever because when I was in college, I lived with

152
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of rugby players that obviously, if are Americans

153
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: trained from a young age, we would annihilate people. Can

154
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: you imagine like Fred Warner in the open field tackling people,

155
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: or Christian McCaffrey or Tyreek Hill. But obviously those guys

156
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: aren't gonna play. But what if guys that were fringe

157
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: NFL guys started training for that? And I know it's

158
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: the sevens, it's a little more open. It's like seven

159
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: on seven football. But I think that's what we should

160
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: focus on. I think it's gonna be a little more

161
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: difficult of like Justin Jefferson wants to go play flag football.

162
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: It's like, hey man paying me like forty fifty million

163
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year. And like I said, you can say

164
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: the same thing in basketball. But is anyone really worried

165
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: about any of these guys getting injured in the NBA,

166
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, playing four or five games of international play.

167
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: We have a long history now. I think in football,

168
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: these gms and owners would be terrified. And I think

169
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: from a player standpoint, it's pretty risky, right if you

170
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: have a major injury, something freaky happens, you're playing. Who

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: are you playing? So a guy landing on your leg

172
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: or hitting you across the middle part of when you

173
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: go And I learned this when I was at Frisone

174
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: State and definitely in the NFL, and I've been going

175
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: to camps forever and you see this. Coaches are always

176
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: a little nervous early on in OTAs and early on

177
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: in training camp when it comes to younger players transitioning

178
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: with the Vets because the speed, the ability to like

179
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: not bring a guy to the ground, but still hit

180
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: and move and there's just an unease with kind of

181
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: everyone watching, and I think that would be on full

182
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: display in this flag football situation. So my recommendation, if

183
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: you're a sweet athlete and you play like Division I

184
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: college football, maybe a couple of years practice squad, go

185
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: dominate handball. You could become a handball legend. I'm talking

186
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: a legend. And if you really kind of want some

187
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: more physicality there's a little physicality handball, go play the

188
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: sevens rugby for America. You would immediately if you start

189
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: training for a couple of years, you'd make the team.

190
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe resurrect our program. I guess resurrect probably

191
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: be the wrong word, because I don't think we've ever

192
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: been good, but you know what I mean. Question for

193
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: the podcast. Hey John, I'm thirty one years old and

194
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: being a lifelong Texans fan. I can't lie when I

195
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: say I'm definitely excited for this upcoming season, but at

196
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the same time, I feel like the hype surrounding our

197
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: team has been a bit too high. I'm glad the

198
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Texans realized what they hadn't Stroud early and surrounded him

199
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: with talent. I think surrounding a good young quarterback and

200
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: still on his rookie deal with talent is the best

201
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: way to win a Super Bowl. What should the expectations

202
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: be for the Texans this year and say the next

203
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: five years. I agree with the hype on the Texans.

204
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that they're just a Super

205
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. I would pump the brakes. I would kind

206
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: of expect something similar to last year, which playoffs win

207
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: a playoff game. But I think for the next two

208
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: to three years, your expectations can be really high. The

209
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: number one thing you always have to find out, I

210
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: think at the pro level is sustaining high level success

211
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: is really really difficult, right, So for CJ. Stroud to

212
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: be a top five quarterback over the next five years

213
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: means he's just gonna dominate and it's really really hard. Now,

214
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: his resume would say he was awesome at Ohio State,

215
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: came to the NFL at one of the truly great.

216
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: I know, statistically he might have had the best rookie season,

217
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: but times are a little different in twenty twenty four

218
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: than maybe they were in nineteen eighty three. But regardless,

219
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: like one of the great rookie seasons in the history

220
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: of the league for any position, and if he just

221
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: continues to improve. They anytime you have a quarterback who's

222
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: that good, you got a chance to win it off.

223
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: You build the team right, And like you said, the

224
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: greatest asset they have is the rookie contract, which not

225
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: all rookie contracts are the same. He is the second

226
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, like his rookie caract and brock

227
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Perty's rookie contract. Or if you get a guy and

228
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: you know Dak Prescott and some of the guys Russell

229
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Wilson early on, those guys are making like a million

230
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: dollars a year. CJ was drafted second overall, so his

231
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: cap number changes a little year by year, but it's

232
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: still like seven eight million dollars. But relative to what

233
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are making, it's nothing. I think them and

234
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: the Colt should make the playoffs. Like to me, new

235
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs for the AFC would be I

236
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: think the Texans should make it again, the Colts should

237
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: make it, and I think the Chargers make it as well.

238
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: But listen, it's really really hard to win AFC playoff games.

239
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: Right You're playing Patrick Mahomes. You know, if Jim Harbaugh

240
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert are there, if Lamar Jackson the Ravens,

241
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: you got to go on the road there. That's difficult.

242
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: If the Bengals are back in action and Joe Burrow like,

243
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: it's a it's a very tough tough conference to succeed

244
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: in because of the talent at that position. Right, I

245
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: forgot about the Bills. I mean Josh Allen, who I

246
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: think is easily the second best quarterback in the NFL.

247
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: So your expectations will be really high. But like you said,

248
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: if you go back to back years, win a playoff game,

249
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: win the division again, that is really really successful. But

250
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: like you only get these moments so often where you

251
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: have this team perfectly set up financially, I think, you know,

252
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: competing to be in the conference championship game would be

253
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: a huge, huge success. Pretty sure you guys have never

254
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: been there, right, huge fan of the pod for offensive coaches.

255
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: This is from Jacob. Like McVeigh and Kyle, what does

256
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: their weekly film study look like when they are preparing

257
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: for games? How much film do they typically watch in

258
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: number of games and how long does it usually take

259
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: and do they watch both sides of the ball for

260
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: just the opposing defenses. Well, I think it changes coach

261
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: to coach when you are a play caller and the

262
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: head coach. I follow the Niners much more closely in

263
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: terms of this type stuff than I do McVeigh. But

264
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: let's just assume Kyle and Sean do very similar things.

265
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Kyle not only watches I would say at minimum four

266
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: games on the previous opponent. Now, it also changes when

267
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: you play divisional opponents because you've played them so often.

268
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: So when you play uncommon opponents, like if you are

269
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: the Rams or the Niners and you're playing I don't

270
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: know the Ravens or the Chargers, I'm just picking different

271
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: AFC teams that you play once every four years. You

272
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: might do more, but I know Kyle watches practice on

273
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. So you're watching your own team, right,

274
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: You're preparing as an offensive play caller watching the opponents defense.

275
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: If you're the offensive play caller, and I would say

276
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: four to six games minimum. Now you have a staff

277
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: working on situations, right, So when you see an offensive

278
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: play caller, who's the head coach, who has a run

279
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: game coordinator, a pass game coordinator, the offensive line, like,

280
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: they have certain roles they play in the game plan, right,

281
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: so when it comes to protections, the offensive line coach

282
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: is all over that. So in terms of blitzes, that

283
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: might be his breakdown. Your pass game coordinator is obviously

284
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: breaking down weeks of coverages on the opponent. And then

285
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: you have a quality control guy and an analyst that

286
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: are always a week ahead. So if it's week two

287
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: and let's just pick a game, let's just say the

288
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: Rams and the Niners are playing this week, and the

289
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: following week the Rams and the Niners play the Bengals

290
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. Where your quality control guy is usually

291
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: working a week ahead as well as your advanced scout,

292
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: so you have a lot of help that can get

293
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: you cut ups and stuff like that. But you have

294
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: to watch the team, right, so you break down practice

295
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: offense and defense. And I know Kyle and I would

296
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: imagine McVeigh as well helps with the defense. I'm not

297
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: saying they are that involved, but they are definitely watching

298
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: and have philosophical ideas of the way we should attack

299
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: an opponent. Belichick was the master of that right, literally

300
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: watched everything. Now Bill was probably more involved in the

301
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: kicking game as well as offensive defense. Like Kyle's not

302
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: involved in the kicking game at all. He's just not

303
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I've never seen such a talented head coach give less.

304
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: You know what's about kicking and punting. He just wants

305
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: you to punt it well and kick it well, and

306
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: if you don't, we got a problem. But he's not

307
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: very active in that. But he's very active because part

308
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: of it you got to constantly be evaluating your own team,

309
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: because if a guy gets injured, who were bumping up,

310
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: who's playing well? How can you help out? How can

311
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: you coach the coaches the forty nine ers. I mean

312
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: this is well documented at this point, film everything. So

313
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan in his office while he's getting ready and

314
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: just doing his weekly work on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,

315
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: when the team is obviously with their position coaches, he

316
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: can press a button and watch their meeting. He's microphone

317
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: and video so he can watch and listen to everything

318
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: that's being said in that in that video or in

319
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: that room on video, and you know, if they're having

320
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: a serious conversation. I've heard assistant coaches say we have

321
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: access to turn it off. The players know, like you

322
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: are miked up in your room twenty four to seven,

323
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: three sixty five unless you manually turn it off, and

324
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: he knows when you turn it off. So it's in

325
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: football these coaches, and I can only speak I've only

326
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: been around one. But Andy Reid, I would say, is

327
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: putting a one hundred hour weeks because think about that's

328
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: just preparation for the game. What about all the other stuff.

329
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: You're dealing with the GM, You're dealing with the owner,

330
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: if a player gets in trouble, players' personal issues. You're

331
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: dealing with the trainer, You're dealing with the equipment staff,

332
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: you're dealing with travel. There's just not enough time in

333
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: the day. It's why so many coaches love to get

334
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: to the office super early because no one really bothers

335
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: you from like five to seven thirty. But once kind

336
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: of breakfast time hits and everyone's in the building, you

337
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: have no clue what's coming. But no one's gonna really

338
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: fuck with you unless someone got a DUI the night

339
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: before at five point forty five in the morning, so

340
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: you kind of have that time to yourself. But I

341
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: heard McVeigh talk about this is he used to think

342
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I was never one of those people, and I'm still

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: to this day, I need some sleep. I can one.

344
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: I get really grouchy, I get really edgy, my mind

345
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work like I just can't operate back to back

346
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: to back days off like four or five hours sleep.

347
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: I need seven to eight, right, Ideally I go to

348
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: bed at ten if I can get up at six

349
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: six thirty, but I need sleep to operate at my

350
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: highest level. Andy Reid does not. Andy REI can operate

351
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: at a really high level off like four or five hours.

352
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: Some coaches can. Some people can't, you know. They say

353
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: some athletes are like that, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods. They

354
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: don't sleep, they don't need much sleep. Michael Jordan historically

355
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: needs no sleep. So it just depends on who you are.

356
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: Even McVeigh has talked about, like listen, I need to

357
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: go home and get some rest. I guess the answer

358
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: the long winded way of saying, it's a lot. It

359
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: takes a lot of time watching it, and they really

360
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: don't stop until probably like Sunday morning. I mean they're

361
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: watching film Saturday night on the road on the plane.

362
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: Just you're just kind of and there's a balance, right,

363
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: because you can like polarize yourself with too much information.

364
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: Paralysis by analysis, I think is the way a lot

365
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: of people put it stuff. I just think you get

366
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: in a groove. These guys are such kind of creatures,

367
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: a habit. They're just a routine. But as the he

368
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, as a coordinator, as a true OC or DC,

369
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: if you're not the head coach, it's there's not that

370
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: crazy much on your plate. If something goes crack off

371
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: off the field, like wrong off the field or as

372
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: the head coach, you have to deal with that, and

373
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: you have to deal with that immediately. Plus you're talking

374
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: to the media. You always have to deal with the owner.

375
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: It's a lot going on. Question for the mailback. First off,

376
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: I'm not a Cowboys fan, but does everyone forget that

377
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: Dak was in the MVP conversation last season? Lamar Jackson

378
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: also hasn't done anything in the playoffs and he got paid.

379
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started on Tua, Lawrence and cousins. Anyways,

380
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: if they don't keep Dak dot that dot, then what

381
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: it's rough? Starting over coming from a Patriot fan, the

382
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: difference here is this would be Dak's second huge contract, right,

383
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: So if like Lamar keeps doing what he's doing now.

384
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: He won the MVP last year, even though it was

385
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: kind of a weird MVP season, but keeps failing in

386
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs, people are gonna start talking about him like

387
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: James Harden because after a while, no one cares what

388
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: you do in the regular season. Like part of the

389
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: reason we can hold Peyton mannings regular seasons at such

390
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: a high level because he won a couple championships like

391
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: Aaron rod The conversation around Aaron Rodgers would be dramatically

392
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: different if he didn't have the ring. Now it's a

393
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: long time ago, but once you get that ring, no

394
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: one can really say anything. And I think the problem

395
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: here with Dak is is like the amount of money.

396
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: If Dak goes, Trevor Lawrence just got that. Trevor Lawrence

397
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: just got that. What am I worth? And he's right,

398
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: He's worth more. But you know, this is where the

399
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys are kind of in limbo. And I think I

400
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: said this last week, I understand keep riding with Dak

401
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: because what are you gonna do become the Raiders and

402
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: just have good players in a couple different positions and

403
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: have no quarterback? You got no shot. So it's easy

404
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: to write it out, and clearly I think Jerry, I

405
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: think they're kind of playing mental warfare. They're trying to

406
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: see how he responds. But like, I don't think he

407
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: didn't respond the last couple of years in the playoffs

408
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: because he's content and already rich. I just think he's

409
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if he kind of short circuits. He

410
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have the greatest arm, so if he's a time,

411
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: he's a little off, he's more liable to throw a pick.

412
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, I would not expect Dak to

413
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: hit free agency next year. I saw some clips of

414
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: Trey Lance going viral of him airmailing balls all over

415
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the place. Obviously he's not the answer. Dak's their best

416
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: quarterback by a country mile, and let's let's face it,

417
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: he's he's a top twelve guy in the NFL. I

418
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: think where these conversations become so polarizing, we all know

419
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: if they just let Dak hit free agency, like, what's

420
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: their answer? What are they gonna do? But the problem is,

421
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: is he ever good enough to win you the Super Bowl?

422
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: And my answer is simple, And I said this about Tua,

423
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: like there is a lot of value in Tua. He

424
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: can help have you compete. You're never gonna win the

425
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: division with him, as we see because the Bills and

426
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen are just gonna win way more games in

427
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: November and December, and he's just dramatically better. But Tua

428
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: does give them credibility they can compete and make the playoffs.

429
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: They might be you want and done, but there's something

430
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: to be said about being a playoff team than being

431
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: just always terrible, which the Dolphins have been a lot

432
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: of my life. And with Dak Prescott, you have been

433
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: competing to win twelve thirteen games a year. I mean,

434
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: that's a fact. That's not like, that's an objective take.

435
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: So I think that's very, very difficult to pivot from.

436
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: And that's why I would expect him to probably stay.

437
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: If you're a betting man, you would bet on Dak

438
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Prescott to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys for

439
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: the next five years. I've bet a Panther fan my

440
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: whole life. Lots of ups and more downs, Like right now,

441
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: do you think Bryce can be a franchise quarterback in

442
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: the National Football League? I heard Coward on a show

443
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: the other day talk about Dak going to Carolina if

444
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: they are still struggling this upcoming season. Do you think

445
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: that could happen and if it would help, if it

446
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: would even help giving out bad the skill positions are,

447
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: I think Dak would be much more His viability with

448
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders, to me, would make a lot more sense.

449
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: They are desperate for a quarterback. When you invest as

450
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: much as they invested in Bryce Young, I think you

451
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: get three years now. I might be wrong on this

452
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: because I loved him coming out of college, because you

453
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: watched him at Alabama. It's like, this kid's a baller.

454
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a stud. But just because you're

455
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: a great college player, you do have to have some

456
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: physical skills that translate to the NFL. He's not a

457
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: great athlete. He's not even I would say for NFL standards,

458
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: he's a marginal athlete. He's very tiny and it was

459
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: eye opening to see his size on an NFL field.

460
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a great arm and obviously he's short,

461
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: so he has a lot working against him. Like you

462
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: watch CJ. Stroud, like just the way he looks in

463
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: a huddle, standing behind the line of scrim he looks

464
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: like an NFL quarterback you watch Bryce standing. There you go.

465
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this. Kyler Murray, who has

466
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: similar height to Bryce, is one of the great athletes

467
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Has an absolute howitzer and it's just

468
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, has way more physical skills. So what are

469
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: some of Kyler's best plays? He can run around and

470
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: make shit happen. That's not really Bryce's thing. He's a

471
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: pocket quarterback. It's Tua right now. Tua's bigger than Bryce,

472
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: but they're pocket play that we never say these names,

473
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: but like Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, like that's how they

474
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: have to play well. Carston Palmer, listen, I understand most

475
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: people on this podcast have never met these human beings.

476
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: I met Carson Palmer one time. He was bigger than

477
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: half the dudes on the Golden State Warriors. I used

478
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: to go to Raider games because I did the post

479
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: game and stay on the sideline and watch Eli and

480
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. These are fucking massive human beings. I mean

481
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: enormous that they look like small forwards, the modern day

482
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: power forward in the NBA with cleats on in a helmet.

483
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: They feel like they're six seven sixty eight. They're huge.

484
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, did you see the pictures going viral of

485
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning talking to all the NBA guys in France.

486
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: It's not like Lebron and Jason Tatum and some of

487
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: the guys were that much bigger than them. It's like

488
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: six five sixty six, So it's it's very, very difficult

489
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: to be a pocket quarterback and be a tiny little dude.

490
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: It really is. The reason Kyler can have success is

491
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: one he does have an elite arm and two just

492
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: has an elite athleticism. So I feel like I'm being

493
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: pretty negative there, but I don't feel really good about it.

494
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna write the guy off, but if it

495
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: was a stock, I would short him. My name is Kevin,

496
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: and I'm a balls to the wall Charger fan forty

497
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: five years now. I like your take on something. Can

498
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: you see the Chargers winning at least ten games and

499
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: punching their postseason ticket this year? Let's look at this

500
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: one way. We have a complete one to eighty when

501
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: it comes to the coaching and philosophy with Harbaugh and

502
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: his amazing staff. Don't you think that the receivers that

503
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: we have will flourish if Harbaugh and Roman with their

504
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: style of football picture this. The Chargers run the ball

505
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: with ease, so much so that they will be able

506
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: to run play action when the opposing defense is leaning

507
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: forward to stop this run game, Herbert looks like a

508
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: different dude physically. The edge group is the deepest in

509
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: the league, which makes the secondary life. There is a

510
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: reason Jim Harbaugh is successful everywhere he goes, and these

511
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: guys are brought in and they are hungry. I will

512
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: say this, We're gonna do a big gambling pod, probably

513
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: closer to the season, and I was looking the other day.

514
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: Spent about an hour just siphoning through some bets. I

515
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: think my favorite bet on the board. I'm tempted to

516
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: do this. I don't usually do future bets because one,

517
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bet a couple hundred bucks. That

518
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything for my juices. But the amount of

519
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: money i'd have to bet to really kind of get

520
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: me going would be a decent chunk of change, five

521
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: to ten grand if I was going to go all

522
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: in on one future. But I don't really want to

523
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: lock up five or ten thousand dollars for four months

524
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: like that. That kind of sucks. But I was thinking,

525
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: like maybe I should do it this year, maybe we

526
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: have a bet of the year, and I think my

527
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: bet of the year just looking around at some future bets,

528
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: was this undraftkings the Chargers to make the playoffs at

529
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: plus one ten, so if you bet one thousand dollars,

530
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: you'd win twenty one hundred. If you bet ten grand,

531
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: you'd win eleven thousand dollars. And I saw that, and

532
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I kind of loved it, and

533
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: that might be my bet. And there were some other ones,

534
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: like I think the Bills over the Dolphins under I

535
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: wrote it down on my in my phone on a notepad,

536
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: But I think my favorite one that I saw was

537
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers to make the playoffs, and that might be

538
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: worth it because people historically thought I was a Charger hater. No,

539
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: I just thought Brandon Saley was a raging fraud I mean,

540
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't think it gets any more fraudulent

541
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: than what we saw as a head coach and what

542
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: he was doing with the Chargers. And Jim Harbaugh's the opposite.

543
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: And I've watched a lot of Charger Prescott conferences in

544
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: Charger content since Jim has been there. One major difference

545
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: I see in Jim now one, he's obviously older and

546
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: a little skinnier than when he was with the forty

547
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: nine ers, but there's like a looseness and I security

548
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: is probably the wrong way to put it, but he

549
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: had this enormous chip on his shoulder. I would say

550
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: at the Stanford in forty nine er days he was

551
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: trying to prove to the world something. And I don't

552
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: know if it was the last couple of years at

553
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: Michigan kicking everyone's ass and then finally winning a national championship,

554
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: but there's like a looseness to him now. He's still

555
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. In a press conference is July twenty seventh,

556
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: and I think where Sean Slater had left the practice

557
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: field a couple days ago, and then the next day

558
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: he was on the practice field. Clearly he just like

559
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: tweaked a hammy or rolled an ankle. It was something

560
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: pretty innocuous, and these reporters are asking Jim all Jim

561
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: has to say, listen, he's gonna be fine. He missed

562
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: a couple of days, no big deal. Jim refuses to

563
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: talk about it, and he's like, it's like Jim, but

564
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of hardbough. He's very uncomfortable doing the injury stuff.

565
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: But there is a looseness to him that he didn't

566
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: have the last time. But we know philosophically his football,

567
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: the way he wants to play, has never changed, and

568
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: the way he plays always works. It worked in the sixties,

569
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: it works in the seventies, it worked ten years ago

570
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: when he was with the Niners. It works now. That's

571
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: going to translate. He has the most talented quarterback he's

572
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: ever had. His offensive line should be pretty good, and

573
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: we know defensively like his defense are just good and

574
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: if anything, they overachieved, why because that's the way they practice.

575
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: So I think my favorite bet this year is to

576
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: bet the Chargers to make the playoffs on DraftKings plus

577
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: one to ten. I don't like it, I love it,

578
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't think I could love it anymore.

579
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 1: Having Fugazi for the show that literally just happened, and

580
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: I think he'll get a good laugh. My first thought

581
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: was that I have to DM John middle cough spelled

582
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: it wrong, but good effort. I pull up to get

583
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: gas behind the car. I just took the hose out

584
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: of the car, So I'm pumped that I'm next. No

585
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: pun intended only to see the person put the pump

586
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: back and walk in the store. Now I have to

587
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: have the internal struggle. Do I wait this out? I

588
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: could come right out, or do I change lanes, which

589
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: I'd have to wait again behind somebody else. This person

590
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: was inside the bathroom, scratch it got a drink, who

591
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: knows what. But ten minutes later, four cars do my left,

592
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: got gas and the dude comes out. You couldn't pull

593
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: up to the open parking spot in front of the store.

594
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: I do think that's terrible etiquette. I think you have

595
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: to do that move either while you're pumping, lock your car,

596
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: or just immediately park. Go in, do whatever you gotta do,

597
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: then come out and pump. But if you go pump

598
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: and finish and some waiting behind you, you gotta get

599
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: a move on. So if you're gonna go to the bathroom,

600
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do whatever inside, I think that's gotta

601
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: be your immediate move before you pump or just bang out.

602
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, two birds, one stone, boom, pump, lock the car,

603
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: no one can steal anything. Go inside, do whatever you

604
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: need to do, come out, it's done, you can take off.

605
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: That's usually my move. I would say, pump lock car,

606
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: go in, grab a snack? Why all the Raiders hate?

607
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: Hey John Larry here using my wife's Instagram. Why is

608
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: everyone picking the Raiders to finish the last in the division.

609
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: The last time we lost to the Broncos, we were

610
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders ten in a row, and we split

611
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: with the Chargers every year. We were the second best

612
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: team in the division. Last year with a rookie quarterback

613
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: that over his last five games nine touchdowns, first one interception.

614
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: We also had the number one deep the league after

615
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: Pierce took over, giving up sixteen points a game. I

616
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: think it's pretty simple, uh one. I don't think anyone

617
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: beside a Raider fan would say you have the fourth

618
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: best coach in the league or in the division. Right, Obviously,

619
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: you definitely don't have a top two coach in a

620
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: division between Andy and Harball. We can debate Sean Payton,

621
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: but I am sorry, like everyone's taken Sean Payton over

622
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce. You have no quarterback. You can give me

623
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: these stats like I'm sorry. Once you suck ass, teams

624
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: don't take you as seriously. In December. Now you beat

625
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, it's like, whoa we beat the Chiefs. I

626
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: get that a lot. Yeah, then they went on to

627
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and you guys didn't even sniff

628
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So you have some really good players, you

629
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: have some core all pro guys that are awesome every

630
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: team in the league would want. But if you're rolling

631
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: in to a season with Aidan O'Connell and it's like, well,

632
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: Mardner Minshew was one pass away from the playoffs. Yeah,

633
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: with Shane Steichen, who is widely considered already like a

634
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: top five OC in the league. Who's your OC? Oh

635
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: Luke Getzi, the guy everyone laughed at in Chicago. Now

636
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: I've defended a little bit because Justin Field's not the

637
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: He's got a coach not very accurate. But I'm sorry,

638
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: Like I I think eight wins would be an incredible accomplishment.

639
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: I really do. You cannot be good in the NFL,

640
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: especially in your conference, playing with those two quarterbacks. I

641
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: just I just don't think it's possible. So I don't

642
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: think it's hate. I just think it's simply let me

643
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: pull up your schedule. Let's just let's just go through

644
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: the first couple games. You open with the Chargers, We

645
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: split with the Chargers all the time. Yeah, they've had

646
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: terrible coaches. Like I'm sorry, I have a hard time

647
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: seeing you beat Jim Harbaugh. Second game on the road

648
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: versus the Ravens. Don't really love you there, Panthers, Okay,

649
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: Brown's at home. Your roster isn't remotely close. Now, we'll see.

650
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't love Deshaun Watson, but if you win that

651
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: game two and two Broncos in Denver, I think the

652
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: streak ends there. Steelers at home, possible. Didn't beat him

653
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: last year though, Rams on the road, don't love that one.

654
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs coming to Vegas. Well, listen, your guy just had

655
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: a doll of Patrick Mahomes. If you don't think and listen,

656
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are worried about the Super Bowl. You're worried

657
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: about going five hundred. Which here's the other thing. You

658
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: got a factor in your organization. You've been above five

659
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: hundred two times in two decades, two times. So I

660
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: would expect the Chiefs to murder you on the road

661
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: against the Bengals on the road, against the Dolphins, Broncos

662
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: at home on the road against the Chiefs, the Bucks,

663
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: who playoff team last year, Falcons pretty good, Jags, I

664
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: just think it's gonna be really, really difficult for you.

665
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: Guess I do. Now. I don't think you're like a

666
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: three win team, but you go seven eight wins and

667
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: not really be remotely that close to the playoffs. So

668
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's hate when you suck all the

669
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: time and never make the playoffs. People just assume that's

670
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, and you go, well, who's their quarterback?

671
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell Gardner Minshew, what are people supposed to say?

672
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: Love the Raiders this year? Ten plus wins be one

673
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: of the biggest stories in the NFL. They just made

674
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs with eight. No, you give me Aidan O'Connell stats.

675
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: He's not even the starting quarterback. Mail back question. Were

676
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: you involved with the Eagles during their five Super Bowl appearance? Uh? No,

677
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: I was. I was like a sophomore in college. Had

678
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that one. For the mailbag, it

679
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: feels like the league would be better if the NFL

680
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: got rid of the franchise tag entirely, allowing star players

681
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: to be in free agency and overall, I think seeing

682
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: this would be more interesting and would also make the

683
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: offseason better. Your thoughts totally disagree. I think the NFL

684
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: has separated for several reasons. One, once a week, all

685
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: the games matter. But two, I was watching the Olympic

686
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: team this morning. Steph Curry is such an outlier of

687
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: all the older guys on the team. They have been

688
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: on countless teams, right, They've all moved around the league. Lebron,

689
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, You're just you're talking mercenaries, right, It's Devin Booker.

690
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: It's like, what's his next team? That's all we talk about.

691
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid forever. It's like, where's he gonna go next?

692
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, it's like, could he be on the Celtics

693
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: for fifteen years? Probably not. The one thing with the

694
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: original Dream Team was like all their guys, Larry Bird, Johnson,

695
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan Clyde, the majority of their team was on

696
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: one squad. David Robinson, Charles Barkley played on I guess

697
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: he ended up playing on three, but you know what

698
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean. And when I was a kid, the NBA,

699
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: like the core players played on the team for a decade,

700
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: and the NFL star players. If I don't want to

701
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: lose you, you're not going anywhere. Doesn't mean you're not

702
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. No, the NFL one has made more

703
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: millionaires than any business in the history of business, and

704
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: two franchise tag. Most of these guys end up getting

705
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: a long term extension. So I actually like the franchise tag.

706
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: I think it's because it benefits the fan. And the

707
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: reason the NFL has lapped everyone else is because it's

708
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: by far the most fan friendly league, easiest to consume,

709
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: everything matters, and I think the offseason, yeah, you don't

710
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: get Kevin Durant and Lebron James and that type stuff,

711
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: that type movement, but for the most part, it's good enough.

712
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: The NFL isn't dependent on the off season. Really their offseason,

713
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: the biggest moment is the draft. They crushed for six

714
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,959
Speaker 1: months during the season, so I think that's a huge

715
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: point of difference for football. Then the other sports happened,

716
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean baseball, their free agency as a joke. It

717
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: starts in dues don't start or signed to like midspring training.

718
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: Here's my question, what is the quality or qualities that

719
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers saw in Love in college, that

720
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs saw in Mahomes in college that the rest

721
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: of the NFL seemingly did not. What are the qualities

722
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: their leadership team is seeing to instill the confidence in

723
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: these guys. Well, both guys played on shitty teams. Right,

724
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: Utah State was not very good when he was there,

725
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: and obviously Texas Tech was battling to win six to

726
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: seven games. I think one year was last year. You

727
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: go seven to five attacks Tech, so you're having to

728
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: do more with less, and in that, both guys have

729
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: big time arm talent. Right, Mahomes is one of the

730
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: great arms we've ever seen, and we saw with last

731
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: year with Jordan Love. Like, they have special arm talent

732
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't call them like Lamar Jackson or Kyler

733
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: Murray athletes, but they are good athletes. So they can move,

734
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: scramble to make throws with plus arm and then it

735
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: just goes. Obviously Jordan Love more than Mahomes. Can we

736
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: mold this guy. I watched Jordan Love a little bit

737
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: of his press conference and then an interview he did.

738
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: I think the NFL network was there. He's just a

739
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: really really impressive guy, really mature and part of being

740
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback maturity focus, how serious you take the craft.

741
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: I remember Veach and talking to another buddy with the Chiefs.

742
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: I think after they won the AFC Championship game, either

743
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: this year or last year, mahomes like they got to

744
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: the building the next day at like six point thirty

745
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: to get start getting Super Bowl preparations already in the

746
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: training room, getting work done, watching film like the level

747
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: of focus the high end guy had, and listen, you

748
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: never know. But that's when it comes to scouting, talking

749
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: to people about him, how he'll handle money, like you

750
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: watch Jordan Love talk about just like the money you

751
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 1: go god. This usually like betting on guys that money

752
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: is not going to change the way they operate. Let's

753
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: face it, for most of us, if we got one

754
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty Jordan Love's contract, the seventy five million

755
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus, he gets twenty five million dollars this week.

756
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: I think he gets twenty five million dollars October fourth,

757
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: and then he gets like twenty five million dollars. I

758
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: forget the exact date, December tenth or twelfth, So by

759
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: by before Christmas he'll have made seventy five million dollars.

760
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are, you could be seventy

761
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: years old. But if you're twenty five years old and

762
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: you get seventy five million dollars now taxes or whatever.

763
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't know net what will actually get forty fifty

764
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: million dollars. If that doesn't change you, you're pretty dialed

765
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: as a human being. And we've seen it with Mahomes. Unfazed.

766
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: Mahomes probably couldn't be any richer. I mean, I don't

767
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: even can't even comprehend how much cash that guy has

768
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: in his bank account. How much is his financial guys

769
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: have invested for him. He's just like an ATM machine

770
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: and it's like you just watch him play. So this

771
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: is where it gets to love of the game, how

772
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: much passion you have for it. If you don't love football,

773
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: once you get paid, the money will face you, just

774
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: like if you don't like whatever you do, if I

775
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: pay you an astronomical amount of money, you simply will

776
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: not work as hard. It's just it's a fact. So

777
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: I think these teams won as much as it is

778
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: on the guy. Both organizations because of Andy and the Chiefs,

779
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: the way they operate, and obviously the Packers have a

780
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: fantastic infrastructure to surround these guys and help them out

781
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: and mentor them, support them. So if you are a

782
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: high level guy, it's set up to succeed. And let's

783
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: face it, some organizations are set up for you to fail.

784
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: They're not buttoned up, they don't know what they're doing,

785
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: they don't have good offensive staff, good offensive personnel, and

786
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: it all snowballs and then you just fall apart. So

787
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: if I get a guy with a bunch of talent,

788
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: a guy who's very focused, a guy who's very very

789
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: passionate and loves football, because you have you got to

790
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: be an addict. You have to be an addict and

791
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: basically be a crackhead, and football's crack. If you're not

792
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: at that position, it'll weed out. And we've seen a

793
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: lot of guys with talent just never have a shot

794
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: because of the time in which you have to put in.

795
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: You got to be consumed by it. It's not the

796
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: healthiest thing. It's why it's mentally very tax and these

797
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: guys that could handle it go on to have a

798
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: lot of success if they have the high level physical traits,

799
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: which clearly Mahomes does and it looks like Jordan Love

800
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: has as well. I know you aren't as big an

801
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: NBA fan as you once were. But why do you

802
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: think NFL gms are more willing to give up valuable

803
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: assets such as first round picks to maximize their Super

804
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: Bowl window with older guys like Brady Rogers and Stafford

805
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: than nbagms like Polinka and dun Levy, who hold on

806
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: to less valuable first round picks and assets instead of

807
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 1: mortgaging their future to maximize their current window with older

808
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: guys Lebron James and Steph Curry. Well, the business models

809
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: are a lot different right the way the two caps work,

810
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: so having there is a balance, Like the Rams are

811
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: a good example. They really need their first round picks

812
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: now or in the NBA because I can hit on

813
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: pick twenty eight. The drafts are so different in the

814
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: NBA in the NFL. I mean, how many guys in

815
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: a given NBA draft hit fifteen in two rounds? How

816
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: many guys in NFL draft hit? I mean you got

817
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: guys in every round hit, You got undrafted free agents hitting,

818
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: So I think it has more to do. Those two

819
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: guys are good examples, like Lebron is forty years old.

820
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: So if I'm gonna go get a sweet player and

821
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: I got a mortgage three or four picks. Lebron is

822
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be there in a couple of years, and

823
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: then I'm in major trouble. But I'm with you, like,

824
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: why do you care about three years from now? Most

825
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: NFL teams, the good ones, are very consumed with the present,

826
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: or I think these NBA now part of it is

827
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: the owners, these algorithms they're using. I listened to my

828
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: guy Kaal Kami had on Joe Lacup and he just

829
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: kept talking about his models, and I think in the

830
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: NFL it's just like not for long, try trying to

831
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: win now where the NBA listen, you can give Lebron

832
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot of shit, and he's got a lot of

833
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: guys traded. He never wants to take any credit for

834
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: all the movement on his teams, but he is consumed

835
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: with now. And if you wanted to be critical of Steph,

836
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't force their hand as much now, Lebron sometimes

837
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: forces their hand. For like Russell Westbrook, it's like a

838
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: stupid where I think Curry is definitely involved, but he

839
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: never kind of holds their feet to the fire like

840
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: I might leave, like he Lebron takes it like I

841
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: might leave. Curry's never done that we're in the NFL.

842
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: When you have a star quarterback, you gotta put all

843
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: your chips in the middle of the table. So I

844
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: think that's probably long winded way of saying. I think

845
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 1: they're just two completely different businesses. And the other thing

846
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: with the NFL, if I trade my first round pick,

847
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: I can still hit on like, third, fourth, fifth round picks,

848
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: where in basketball that's kind of my only asset to

849
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: make a trade, so the trade better be right. Where

850
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: if I could trade a first round pick right now

851
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: for I don't know, some sweet player, right, let's just say,

852
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: like I could just trade my first round pick for

853
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: Fred Warner, I might do that and be like, well,

854
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: I don't have a first round pick in twenty twenty five,

855
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: but now Fred Warner's on my team, so I got

856
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: the best midal linebacker, and why can't I hit on

857
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: my second, third, and fourth round pick. So I think

858
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: it's probably it's a lot different that way with you

859
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: have way more ammunition in football with other rounds. I mean,

860
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: look at the Rams two years ago. They hit on

861
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: all the mid round picks, where in basketball it's if

862
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: you hit on a second round pick, you're like, that's

863
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: unheard of. It's very very rare to get a starter

864
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: in the second round, let alone a high end player.

865
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: You'd get star players all the time in the second, third,

866
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: and fourth round. Okay, last question question for the Bailbacks

867
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: from Nicholas. Why are the Eagles seamst seen as some

868
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: shoeing to be good. We don't like the head coach.

869
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: They lost their best player to retirement. I don't think

870
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: he's their best player. You could say their most important

871
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: player to retirement. Honestly, they lost two of their most

872
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: important players in retirement in terms of leadership. Kelsey didn't

873
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox retire as well. The quarterback has really only

874
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: been good for one of his four seasons and he's

875
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: still a question mark the team. But most specifically, their

876
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: defense was awful last year. What am I missing? Well?

877
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: Their team is really talented. I mean, I think it's

878
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: just that simple. Even though they lost Kelsey, they have

879
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: drafted so many offensive linemen. They have two stud tackles.

880
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson's a really good player. I think we just

881
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: believe in their operation as an offensive line. Their offensive

882
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: line coach is one of the best in the league.

883
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: Even if you go okay, Jalen is up and down.

884
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: They add Saquon Barkley, who's one of the best just

885
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: skill guys in the league. They arguably have the best

886
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: one to two combination at wide receiver in DeVante and

887
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: aj Brown. They have a really good tight end, and defensively,

888
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: I think we had some question marks with their d line.

889
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: They had huff from the Jets. They've drafted the two

890
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: kids the last two years from Carter and Davis. They

891
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: still have Randon Graham. They drafted the best corner in

892
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: the draft, and they got another corner in the draft,

893
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 1: the white dude from Iowa. So I just think their

894
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: team is really talented. They add Kellen Moore, who's been

895
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: a good offensive coordinator in the league, and Vic Fanju

896
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: who I think is one of the better defensive coordinators.

897
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: Now I'm not picking them as some Super Bowl team,

898
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: but their roster is pretty damn good. That their roster

899
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: to me is top two or three in the in

900
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: the NFC forty nine ers them the Lions. Still some

901
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: question marks with the Packers defense, but the Rams like

902
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: their team is. They have the most talented team in

903
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: their and the Packers, or excuse me, the Cowboys lost

904
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot. I think Washington's probably a year away. I

905
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are gonna pick them. I

906
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: think coward. I'm not, uh not because I don't. I

907
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: love the GM like the coach. I could just see

908
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: this being a little bit of a figured out year

909
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: for them. The Giants, their d line's good neighbors is sweet,

910
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: but it is Daniel Jones any good. Saquan has been

911
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: their best offensive player last couple of years. A lot

912
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: of new offensive line pieces want to see how that

913
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: comes together. But I think the Eagles won the division.

914
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean Jalen Hurts is the MVP or anything,

915
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. Like, but here's the thing with Sirianni.

916
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: What's he doing calling time outs given pump up speeches.

917
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: It's ultimately on Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio, who both

918
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: guys as coordinators have proven to be like playoff level coordinators. Now,

919
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: what they do in January a lot of question marks.

920
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: But I think it would be a pretty big upset

921
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: if they're not in the playoffs. So I shoeing to

00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: to be how good. I have a hard time seeing

00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: them with less than ten wins. No, I don't think

925
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: they're a fourteen win team, but I could see ten

926
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: eleven wins and win the division. Okay, you guys know
