Speaker 1: fun to combine multiple bets from the same game parlay

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: at the podcast. I waited today because I just you know,

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: I didn't want to record it lunchtime and have a

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff happened before the most part, there hasn't

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: been that much happened in the last several hours. So

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I've already recorded the podcast, just actually finished it and

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: now I'm doing the open just on DJ Jones actually

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good player just signed with the Broncos. Uh.

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: I think three years, thirty million dollars. It's a good signing.

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: Uh Well, I talked a lot about the quarterback movements,

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: some thoughts on the Chargers, the Jets, Belichick, anything that

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: happens obviously Tuesday, Wednesday, stuff that becomes official. You know,

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: when de Sean ends up getting traded, Jimmy g uh as,

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: some different things shake out. I'll react to all that

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: let's talk a little ball. Okay, let's dive right into

45
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and the piggyback off what we did on

46
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Sunday's podcast. UH. On Tom Brady returning, you know, I

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: think it's all been said in the last twenty four hours,

48
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: how he never wanted to retire, forced into it. Regardless,

49
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: the outcome is he's back, and it had dramatic ramifications

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: on the franchise. He saved the Buccaneers because to me,

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: if he's not returning, that franchise is no longer no

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: longer is viable for free agents. Jensen the Center returns,

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: Davis the Corner returns. Godwin. Won't put up a stink

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: being franchise tag. People want to be there. People gravitate

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: towards greatness. People gravitated toward him when he was in

56
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: New England. Now they're gravitating toward him when he's in Tampa.

57
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Now these guys have already been around him, but they

58
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: want to stay. It's not like they're staying for free.

59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: But let's face it, Like to me, if he had

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: really retired and was having a good time with his

61
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: kids and his wife and was like, I'm done, it's over.

62
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they bring all these guys back. I'm

63
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: not saying that they don't try. But the incentive for

64
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: these guys like I'll go test the market and go

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: see I can go play somewhere else. I might not

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: be able to win here anymore. Now there are benefits

67
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: right when he returns, just Tampa Bay, no state income

68
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: tax works their benefits. So they give a guy thirty

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: million dollars. You cod to San Francisco and York ors

70
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: l A or some of these other places you make

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: more money. But let's face it, Tom Brady is the

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: straw that serves his entire drink. And he wasn't that

73
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: totally to me in New England. He was a big

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: part of it, but you just knew with him and Belichick.

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: To me, you're going Tampa strictly for Tom Brady. Pretty

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: special to say you got to play with Tom Brady.

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: I think these guys know how good they have it. Uh,

78
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: they've just been living in the last two years. And

79
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the great uh you know, swing decisions

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: I think we've seen in recent memory. It's gonna have massive,

81
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: massive implications on the field because we talked about the odds.

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they're immediately the NFC favorite now. I think

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: just regardless of Vegas. You know, I think there are

84
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: three or four teams that you go, yeah, they could

85
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: easily win the NFC. They're gonna win their division. And

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: it's you know, the final four in the NFC, Packers, Rams,

87
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Bucks and you know, if Trey Lance is just solid,

88
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: probably the Niners, like it's pretty good, then it's it's

89
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: hard to win the playoffs, right. We saw how hard

90
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: it was for the Bills and the Chiefs in that

91
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: game and go either away, but that's all that's all

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: you could ask for. Have a shot come mid January

93
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: and the Bucks now have a shot. And because of

94
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and ultimately, for as great as the day was,

95
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about a lot of different things, guards

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: move in places, Corners, quarterbacks make this league go and

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: they are by far the most valuable asset right now

98
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: in all of sports, because if you have a good

99
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: one you're guaranteed to win, and if you win in

100
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: the NFL, you're you're guaranteed to make money. In the NFL,

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: no matter what, you will make money regardless of your

102
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: your team can win three three games a season. The

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Jags have been atrocious for years. Every single season with

104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: the revenue sharing check shot con gets you know, two

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars. But when you win, you make

106
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: so much more money through suites excitement, You're able to

107
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: profit off your own local fan base. And the easiest

108
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: way to do that is not building a great team,

109
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: it's landing a great quarterback. Because once you land a

110
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: great quarterback, you're able to build the team and your

111
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: mistakes get covered up fast. It's basically makeup right. You

112
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: can you can completely whip on a second round pick,

113
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: like if you have Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and no

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: one would notice when you whiff on picks. When you

115
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: have average to below quarterbacks, you get destroyed and ultimately

116
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: get fired because your team is just gonna suck. But

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: when you miss on free agents and in the draft,

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: which is not ideal, but let's face it, it literally

119
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: happens to every franchise Belichick's missed. The Steelers a missed obviously.

120
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Seattle missed for years. If you have a Hall of

121
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback or even just a high level Pro Bowl guy,

122
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. And there's a reason that Deshaun Watson

123
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks. One. They don't change teams. Right at the

124
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: end of the day, Aaron Rodgers will have played in

125
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay whenever his contract is official. You know, for

126
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: twenty plus years. Tom Brady played in New England for

127
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: twenty years. Peyton Manning was never were gonna move teams,

128
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: but he had his major neck injury. If that neck

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: injury never happens, he plays for the Colts for eighteen years.

130
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger never changed teams. Rivers did at the very very end,

131
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: and then he just played one season. Great quarterbacks, Pro

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: Bowl quarterbacks in their mid twenties. One, they don't change

133
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: teams to they're not available, like there is no availability

134
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes. These like they're in a marriage. You know,

135
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: there's a difference between a girl that's single and a

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: girl that's married. Patrick Mahomes is married, Josh Allen is married.

137
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Herbert is you know, not official yet because he's got

138
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: a time in big contract. But he's gonna get married.

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Those guys are going nowhere, so you have no access

140
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: to them. As other teams, like, for example, the Eagles

141
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: right now, they would do anything. Can you imagine what

142
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: they would trade for justin Herbert? They would get take

143
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: by three ones, take two twos. I'll give you next

144
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: year's one. You want, Davonte Smith, what do you want? Right?

145
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: But that's not even on. The option to let's go

146
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,119
Speaker 1: would just hang up. So when Deshaun Watson, obviously he

147
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, had this thing happened over the last year

148
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: with the massage therapist, but don't forget that he had

149
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: demanded a trade before that came out. Now we'll see

150
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: as time goes on. Was him demanding a trade knowing

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: that was gonna come out as of recording this, I

152
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have I'm kind of Deshaun Watson

153
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: out on terms of the whole story. Just tell me

154
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: when it's final, tell me when a situation is either

155
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: figured out he's gonna get in trouble. I'm not a lawyer.

156
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: I can't predict this stuff. I have no really opinion

157
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: because I wasn't there. I just know as a player.

158
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: He's really really good, and when he's on the field,

159
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: he's a top six or seven player. And he also

160
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: happens to be twenty six years old. Right in those

161
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: top six or seven players, Brady's forty four, Rogers is

162
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: thirty eight, you know, Russell Wilson is you know, thirty three,

163
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: and then you got the Mahomes, the Alan's, and the

164
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Herberts that are really really young. So having a guy

165
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: that's in his mid twenties, you could have that guy

166
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: for another decade in his prime and don't need to

167
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: pay this guy. He's under contract for the next several years.

168
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: He's making thirty five million dollars. So when these guys,

169
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: when when Matt Stafford signs his contract extension, when Aaron

170
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: Rice Roger signed his contract extension, this guy is gonna

171
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: be making a lot less money. So it's a huge

172
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: advantage to get a guy on a cost controlled contract.

173
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: So why I'm a huge believer of trading picks for

174
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: players over dabbling in free agency for the best player

175
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: in free agency, because when you're gonna dabble in free

176
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: agency for the best available player, one it's usually not

177
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: an elite player, but to usually have to pay elite

178
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: money where I can get Khalil Mack for a second

179
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: round pick. He's on a cost control deal. Now it's

180
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but he's under contract for the

181
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. Right when the Eagles traded for Darius Slay,

182
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: he was under contract. I like trading for guys that

183
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: are under contract now, good players that usually cost a

184
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: premium pick. But I would rather do that then trade,

185
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, or pay for a free age. And at quarterbacks,

186
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: they never become available. The best quarterback to hit the

187
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: open market, I mean truly hit the open market Brady

188
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: at such unique circumstance. He was forty three years old.

189
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a guy in his late twenties, early

190
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: thirties that's a Pro Bowl or not even Pro Bowl.

191
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: But like a guy that every team's gonna want, that

192
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: has a quarterback availability. The best one of the last

193
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: decades Kirk Cousins, and even going back would be Drew Brees,

194
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: but he had a major injury. So guys like Deshaun

195
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Watson in his prime, Mahomes, Alan, Herbert Lamar, these guys

196
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: never hit free agency. So the only way to get

197
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: a hold of them want they either have to demand

198
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: a trade like situation or off the field, something has

199
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: to go down. And because of Deshaun, he actually is

200
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: not making as much as some of these other guys.

201
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: But he was smart because he put the no trade

202
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: clause in there. And as of recording this, you know

203
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: he's meeting with the Saints the Panthers. He told Seattle

204
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: to kick Rocks hard, to blame him because you just go, well, listen, Russell,

205
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Like I said, a little bit of a diva. You know,

206
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he gets enough, uh the diva. You

207
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: know that Aura doesn't you know, follow him hard enough.

208
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna keep pounding the table. I can deal

209
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: with diva's if you're great, you know. I can deal

210
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: with Lebron James, right, I can deal with Aaron Rodgers.

211
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: You better be great like I don't, you know. And

212
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: and it comes a couple more years like Antonio Brown

213
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: get out of here, right, you can. You can only

214
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: deal with divas in other positions for so long. At quarterback,

215
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: you can deal with him, and you can deal with

216
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: him forever as long as they're good. So Deshaun Watson,

217
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: who actually was once upon a time Dabo Sweeney called

218
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: them Michael Jordan's clearly the blooms off the roads a

219
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: little bit because there's some red flags on him. Right now,

220
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: these teams are meeting with them, and to me, the

221
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: team that has the most on the line, Like, ultimately,

222
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: the Saints had an incredible fifteen year run with Drew

223
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Brees and now they're going through a transition. Do they

224
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: want to continue to be good? For sure? Do they

225
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: have pretty good players on the roster, But if they

226
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: end up with Jimmy Garoppolo or rollback James s Winston,

227
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: it's not the worst case scenario because their fan base

228
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: has had it pretty good. To me, the Panthers are

229
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: pretty desperate. Like they have a brand new owner who

230
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: paid cash for the franchise, who's one of the great

231
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: stock traders in the history of America and is desperate

232
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: to be good. And since he's on the team, they've

233
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: kind of been a joke. Now I give him credit

234
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: because I talk a lot of shit about the Chargers

235
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: ownership because I always feel like they're cheap with their coaches,

236
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: and it's one thing to be like, oh, they're signing players. Yeah,

237
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: every team has money to sign players, right, you have

238
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: a salary cap, you get the money from the league,

239
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: from CBS, from ABC, from NBC. You have that money,

240
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: you kind of choose how much you want to pay

241
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: a coach and whether you're right or wrong. I appreciate

242
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: I say this all the time. I admire people to

243
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: take big swings. You're not always gonna be right right.

244
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Some of your big swings, you're gonna miss the ball.

245
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: But every once in a while, you're gonna connect, You're

246
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna hit some doubles, and you might hit a home run.

247
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: So he went all in, and other people were interested

248
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: in Matt rule. Now it has not gone well. And

249
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: the one thing I questioned with Matt Ruey's already on

250
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: a second offensive coordinator, Like, what do you do? Bro? Like,

251
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: are you just CEO guy? Because Tomlin had worked in

252
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the NFL for a while, John Harbad worked in the

253
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: NFL for a while. You spent one year in the

254
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: NFL as an assistant offensive line coach, and now you're

255
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: just CEO guy and our offense sucks. But the easiest

256
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: way to make CEO guy look good, because let's face it,

257
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, John Harbaugh was CEO guy

258
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: with Joe Flacco at the quarterback and I was about

259
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: to get fired, and then they you put in Lamar

260
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: Jackson in the game and they've never looked back. So

261
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: part of being CEO guy. Tomlin has been CEO guy

262
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: fifteen years. He had the big guy from Ohio slinging

263
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: the ball around. He's gotten like seven contract extensions. So

264
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be CEO guy and you don't have

265
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you're fucked. It's over. And I think Temper

266
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: knows this from a franchise standpoint, they just need some

267
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: buzz too that Obviously, Brady comes back, but he is

268
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: forty five years old and this might even be his

269
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: last year. Like part of it is competing in that division.

270
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta's got going nowhere fast Tampa. As long as Brady's there,

271
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the division. But that could end, as

272
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: we know now any year, Like do we assume he's

273
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: gonna play two years after this or is this his

274
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: last year because he said he want to play till

275
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: forty five, Well now he's playing. So and if you

276
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: get to Shan, that means the same Songe get to

277
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Sean and you're kind of in the driver's seat. And

278
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: then from a Sean standpoint, you get to rely on

279
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: David Tepper, the guy you know, the owner puts all

280
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: of his chips in the middle table on you. It's

281
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: a it's a no brainer for the Texans, right, you

282
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: trade pick six, so I want him to go to Carolina.

283
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: That means I've got two top six picks I get

284
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: rid of to Sean, I get a couple more picks.

285
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: And here here's the other thing there. We don't know

286
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: for sure. Then Matt Rule knows what he's doing in

287
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: the National Football League, So it could go poorly. Now,

288
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: if you had to Sean, you know, in that division,

289
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: you'd still probably win five or six games. But that

290
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: could be a pretty good pick. Like it feels like

291
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: pretty I don't know why I would think so differently

292
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: that their teams is a lot better that the Paco's

293
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: are gonna win ten games with Russell Wilson, because we've

294
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: seen as long as Russell Wilson's your quarterback, no matter

295
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: how shitty your team is, you're gonna compete to win

296
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: nineteen games if he's healthy for seventeen of them. We've

297
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: seen Deshaun Watson have an unreal year. They went four

298
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: and twelve. Right, and the Dolphins end up getting their pick.

299
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: The Niners ended up using that on trade lance with

300
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: the trade, but that's how they got it because of

301
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: the Texans disastrous season. So if I'm Deshaun Watson, I'm

302
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: interested in Carolina, go back to the Homeland, go to

303
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: an area I'm comfortable with. If I'm David Tepper, all

304
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: my chips from the middle of the table one, I

305
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: do not want him to go to the Saints, right,

306
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: I'd much rather have me get him and forced the

307
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Saints to play with Jamis Winston or Jimmy Garoppolo. And

308
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: then obviously I got Deshaun Watson. And if I'm the Texans,

309
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: like I am praying this gets figured out the Browns.

310
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: If I'm Deshaun Watson, I want to go to Cleveland.

311
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: Now it makes sense why Cleveland is interested Baker. They're

312
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: not going to give him a long term contract. Uh this,

313
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, there just aren't that many opportunities to

314
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: get a guy like this. They do not become available,

315
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: and uh help you. He saying it over and over.

316
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: Everyone acts like Kirk Cousins is the worst quarterback they've

317
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: ever seen. There's a reason he gets keeps getting extended

318
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: they could do way worse. They had worst quarterbacks before

319
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: he showed up. Ideally, do you love paying them million dollars? No,

320
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: but you're kind of stuck because he's still way better

321
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: than anything you can do. And the draft sucks with quarterbacks.

322
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: That's the other part of this. The draft sucks with quarterbacks.

323
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: So these teams that are like, I'm gonna draft Kenny Pickett,

324
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: who's like a poor man's Mac Jones. I'm gonna draft

325
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: Malik Willis, who is a major project, who's six ft tall.

326
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft Desmond Ritter, whose comp is like Mariota

327
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: like that. That's what we're talking about here. Like last

328
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: year we had Trevor Lawrence, best prospects since Andrew Luck

329
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: Justin fields, elite prospect, six three, huge arm, big wheels,

330
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Trey Lance characters, elite physical attribute, major project,

331
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: kind of like Josh Allen but more accurate. Long way

332
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: to go. But like that's Mac Jones, ready made Kirk Cousins.

333
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Like that was the draft. This one is not even closed,

334
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: so that that even drives up the price on these quarterbacks.

335
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: It's why the Steelers, Like, listen, the Steelers are excellent

336
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: drafting their excellent team building. They have produced offensive lineman,

337
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: running backs, tight ends, wide receivers that have been unreal

338
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: defensive guys at every level, Pro Bowlers, all pros. They're

339
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: as good as it guts. They can build a football team.

340
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: But let's face it, they have been pretty spoiled. And

341
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: they get credit because they drafted the player, but he

342
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: went on to have like a fifteen six team year

343
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career, maybe even longer than that. Oh

344
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: four is when he was drafted. They haven't had to

345
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: find another quarterback. They literally have not even had to

346
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: worry about it. And the first time they did, as

347
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: he started to age, they drafted Mason Rudolph in the

348
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: third round. Mason Rudolph is not a good NFL player

349
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: to me. He's a blow average backup. So they can

350
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: they can draft or trade and sign their way out

351
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: of anything. They've proven it at every position, but quarterback

352
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: is the one spot you cannot do that. You can't

353
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: just figure it out because there aren't that the supply

354
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: and demand. There just aren't that many available. So and

355
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: then when they are, everyone's fighting for him, and you

356
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: look at the Steelers, who I don't even blame them,

357
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: like what are they supposed to do? But they signed

358
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: m R Whisky and to me, Mr Whisky's is not

359
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: very good at football. Now I get why they did it.

360
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: If I was them, I would have gone miss R

361
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Whisky over, like trading for Jimmy Garoppolo and paying him

362
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven million dollars As of recording this, I haven't

363
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: seen any of the money on Mitch. I'd assume it's

364
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: not that much money. But and listen, Roethlisberger was a

365
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: shell of himself. But if you watch Roethlisberger at certain points, like,

366
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: he's still pretty smart. He could still have his moments.

367
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: Like I do not trust ms Robisky at all. I

368
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: don't care how much talent you have around him. He

369
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: is not a natural player. He is a thrower, not

370
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: a picture right. He just he is not an artistic player,

371
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: and that's probably even the wrong way to put He

372
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have any touch. And then he has to plan

373
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: a division against Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. And listen,

374
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't love Baker Mayfield, but that team should be

375
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. Like I don't know, like, if Baker Mayfield

376
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: is healthy, I would take Baker Mayfield over Mr Bisky

377
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat, and I'm not a big Baker Mayfield

378
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: guy at all. So you have the fourth best quarterback

379
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: and listen, I don't like I said, I don't necessarily,

380
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what their options were. They don't have many.

381
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: They don't I don't even think you could argue to

382
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: have a better option. If anything, it might just be equal.

383
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: Signed Mariota Jimmy just cost too much. But I can't

384
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: expect them to win, and I think they've been pretty

385
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: spoiled that this is the first time. Like, it's hard

386
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: to pivot, it's easy to get stuck, kind of in

387
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: quarterback purgatory. And this goes back to Cousins. Everyone's like,

388
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: why does he keep getting paid? Do you know what

389
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers would do for Kirk Cousins? If hey would?

390
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: They would do anything. I mean, they would trade their

391
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: first round pick right now to have Kirk Cousins be

392
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback. Could they win the Super Bowl with him?

393
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: Probably not? What could they make the playoffs pretty easily?

394
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Not like last year? Well, let's face it, they got

395
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: pretty lucky, like legitimately be a ten eleven win team. Yes,

396
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: I just can't see them competing with Mr bisky I, I

427
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: credit for Khalil Mack because when you have resources available

428
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: to you, you have to use them. When you have

429
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback who is not making any money, meaning

430
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: you have cap space, you have to utilize that to

431
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: your advantage. It has to happen right, And the resources

432
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: available to them, they had a lot of cap space.

433
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: They've used it well and they've been aggressive on high

434
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: end players. Trade for Khalil Mack. It's my favorite move

435
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: of the last week because you get a guy who

436
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: went healthy, is an elite player for a second round

437
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: pick who's on a cost controlled deal. It doesn't mean

438
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't cost nothing. He costs a lot, but it's controlled.

439
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: You know exactly how much you owe him, and you

440
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: have him under contract for several years. Resigning Mike Williams,

441
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: smart move. You got this elite route runner and Keenan Allen.

442
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: You got this big body, big playmaker with Mike Williams.

443
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: Now go add a speed guy in the half. Now

444
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: add defensive guys because I said over and over they

445
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: need to add to the defense. Because everyone keeps saying

446
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: Middle Coffe, you're so hard on Brandon Staley. Well, now

447
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: I think the pressure has ramped up. They signed j C.

448
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Jackson basically three years. I saw sixty million or five years.

449
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. They get forty million dollars guaranteed. So

450
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson's on their team for the next several years.

451
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: Add Khalil Mack to me. The pressure keeps ramping up

452
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: on this guy. Understandable, you had to double down. Russell

453
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: came to the division. The Chiefs are still sweet. The

454
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Raiders beat you last year in a must win game.

455
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: I would say this, and I said it last year.

456
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: People thought I was crazy that if he didn't win

457
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: that game against the Raiders, it was a fire upa offense.

458
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: He had a dramatically better team, and of course he

459
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: lost by doing stupid stuff. Now, I didn't think he

460
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: was gonna get fired. Dean Spanos lives, you know, to

461
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: make sure. If he's someone who's gonna pay someone, they're

462
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: gonna work for him. So he was gonna fire him,

463
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: and clearly they like him his analytical whatever you consider it.

464
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: But now anything less than the playoffs. When you have

465
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback and now you've added talent to

466
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: the defense. They got all their draft picks. I guess

467
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: they out the second round pick. They still have their

468
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: first round pick. They're gonna add another sweet player. I

469
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: think the pressure on Brandon Staley now it's not like

470
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Philly or New York or Boston because ultimately their second

471
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: fiddle in their own town. They are a tenant in

472
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: a building where the Rams literally just won the Super Bowl.

473
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: So you can tell me all a middle cop, the

474
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: Rams aren't even the top team. No, when you start

475
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: winning super Bowls, that's how you develop fans because the

476
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: majority of fans aren't super die hard unless you're talking

477
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: like the Steelers and the Packers. Most fans are casual.

478
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: The reason the Lakers have so many fans is because

479
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: they've accumulated so many casual fans over the last thirty years.

480
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: The reason the Cowboys have the biggest numbers on TV

481
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: because they have the most amount of casual fans, So

482
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: the Rams, because they're all fighting for in l A.

483
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: And you have Lincoln Riley. The Dodgers are sweet, there's

484
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot going on, but they also have like eighteen

485
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: million people or something live in l A County, So

486
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: you have a large, large market when you gotta do

487
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: something when you have this star young quarterback who is

488
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: unreal to watch. Who watches Justin Herbert and go, God, damn,

489
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: this guy is not sweet. I'd love this guy to

490
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: play for me. So to me, there's just tangible pressure

491
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: on brand Staley, like anything less than not making the

492
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: playoffs this year, what are we doing? Like, you guys

493
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: just wasted two years of of Justin Herbert. I think that.

494
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: I think all the pressures on them, zero excuses. It's

495
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult. That's the other thing. It's gonna be

496
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: really really hard. It's not like they play in the

497
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: you know some the NFC East, I guess actually the

498
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: division had a couple of playoffs teams, but just a

499
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: terrible the the NFC North. It's probably a better example, right,

500
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Mahomes, Derek Carr, good luck, buddy. Give the

501
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: Jets some credit. They had to, Like listen, I'm about

502
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: the biggest Zack Wilson guy. Uh, some of my friends

503
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: in the league that you know have rings on their

504
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: fingers aren't the biggest Zack Wilson guys. They actually kind

505
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: of influenced me. And then watching him, like listen, he's

506
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: got a long way to go, does have some physical attributes,

507
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: but you're all in on. You drafted him second overall

508
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: and it was just one season. You have to help

509
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: him out. So what did they do? They went out

510
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: and they signed c j Uzama, the tight end from Cincinnati.

511
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Comes from a winning culture. The team was just in

512
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Really good player. I I like that

513
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: player a lot. Actually, whenever I watched the Bengals, I'm like,

514
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: who's eighty seven? This guy is a playmaker. And they

515
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: added Lincoln Thomlinson, the guard for the Niners. So they

516
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: had two guys who are used to winning starters on

517
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: playoff teams. When guy started the Super Bowl, the other

518
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: guy started in the NFC Championship Game. Immediate plug and

519
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: play starters for your team at on on offense that

520
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: could impact your quarterback. So now the Jets, who, let's

521
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: face it, need to start winning games. Like the Jets

522
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: can't just continue to be a joke. They also have

523
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: two first round picks, right they have their own, which

524
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: is in the top ten, and they have Seattle's because

525
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: of the Jamal Adams trade, which is a top twenty

526
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: pick because Seattle want seven and ten. So they have

527
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to really really improve their team. And when

528
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: you look at the Jets, now they have Beckton, who

529
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: I know Solis said he's gonna have to earn his

530
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: starting job. Bullshit, He's gonna be the starting left tackle.

531
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: They drafted the kid last year from SC So they

532
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: now they have two guards who in theory should be

533
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: really good. So you've got two guards, you got a

534
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: starting left tackle, you probably draft another offensive lineman. Uh,

535
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: you add a tight end you drafted last year Elijah

536
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: More Elijah Moore in the second round, who should be

537
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: a really good player out of Ole Miss. You drafted

538
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: one of the running backs from North Carolina, who's a

539
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: good player, I think, in the fourth round. So you

540
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: started accumulating some players, Like now, there's gonna be some

541
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: pressure for Zach Wilson to play well because the Patriots

542
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: and we'll get into Belichick here in a second, are

543
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna be solid. And we know the Bills are a powerhouse.

544
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: So I give the Jets some credit. Good day. Do

545
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: I love paying thirty one year old guards twenty eight

546
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed? No? But you know, if if I'm

547
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna do it, I'm gonna improve an offensive line with

548
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: the young quarterback, I'm all for it. If I'm gonna overpay,

549
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: I'll overpay an offensive lineman. Now, he better not be

550
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: like Nate Soldier. And luckily la Flour worked with him

551
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: when he was with San Francisco, so he knows him well.

552
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Easy scheme fit, easy transition. A lot of free agents

553
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: that fail right when I if you're a sales guy

554
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: and I we work in construction and I sell. Let's

555
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: say I need a guy to sell alarms and then

556
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: another guy to sell you know, uh, doors. I am

557
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 1: just making it. I don't even know if you sell doors. Well,

558
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: if you're on a construction sites all the time and

559
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: you know a lay of the land, Like, if you're

560
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: a good salesman, I can steal you. You You can sell alarms,

561
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: you can sell doors, you can sell roofs, you can

562
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: sell the concrete. Like, if you can sell in the industry,

563
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: you can sell right well in football. Just because I

564
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: can play guard, and I can play guard for the Steelers,

565
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: that does not mean that I'd be a good guard

566
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: for the Niners. It's not that easy of a transition,

567
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: even though it's a guard, right, Just like salesman, most

568
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: salesman kind of translate. Most players in the NFL translate

569
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: to the scheme they're having success. Art. There are certain players, right,

570
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack could play Aaron Donald, you know, uh Davante Adams,

571
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: uh Jalen Ramz, Micca Fitzpatrick. Right, the high end guys

572
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: can do anything, just like in society, a smart guy.

573
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: I was listening to uh Josh Brown's podcast The Compound

574
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: and they were talking about the Kyle Kyle uh Carl

575
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Icon documentary. I think I've mentioned it before. It's on HBO.

576
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's basically I think Gordon Gecko was portrayed

577
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: parts of him after Carl Liken. This guy is just

578
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: a business killer. And uh he was the guy with

579
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: the airline you know in in the original Wall Street

580
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: that Gordon Gecko like made bankrupt and fired everybody. The

581
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: same thing happened to Carl I Gon. But their point

582
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: was that Carl Icon, whether he was going to become

583
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: a venture capitalist, a stock guy, whether he went to Hollywood,

584
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: or whether he ran a tech company, the guy, a

585
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: hundred out of a hundred times was gonna be worth

586
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: a billion plus dollars. The guy was going to nail

587
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: it in any industry translated, no matter where he went.

588
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: Too smart, too relentless, too much just grit involved also

589
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: combined with intelligence. Like that combination. When you show me

590
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: someone who's super intelligent and relentless, that guy, it's almost

591
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: impossible for that guy to fail unless he's got like

592
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: drug addiction or something. That guy is not gonna fail.

593
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: It might not happen immediately, but he will have success

594
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: where just like good players, you can put them anywhere

595
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: in football and they will succeed. Most players are not

596
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: that they don't transcend scheme. So when I signed a

597
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: free agent, I better know for certain he fits in

598
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: my scheme. It's why it's a lot easier to find

599
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: when you get new assistant coaches or a new head

600
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: coach or new coordinators to bring guys from their former teams. Now,

601
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: you ideally don't want to overpay it, but you know

602
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna work unless the guy is over the hill

603
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: or has an injury, because you've seen it work right.

604
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: It's a plug in play thing. That's just not the

605
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: case for most players his wife. Free agency can be

606
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: pretty dicey. I also think Belichick, who let you know,

607
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: uh j C. Jackson Walk. I think Belichick has a

608
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: pretty good history of not overpaying guys that aren't worth overpaying.

609
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: This knock on Belichick that he doesn't give second contracts

610
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: or doesn't pay anyone, it's kind of bullshit. He has

611
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: extended a lot of good players in his tenure, right,

612
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: think about it. Logan Mankins got a second contract, Richard

613
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Seymour got a second contract, Devin mccordy has now got

614
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: several contracts. Gronc got multiple contracts like he gives. If

615
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: you're an elite player and you're worth the money, he

616
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: will give you a second contract. He paid Gilmore as

617
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: a free agent, which was before his spending spree of

618
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: last year, because Gilmore had elite talent. To me, j C. Jackson,

619
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: it's I understand letting him walk. The only problem is

620
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: is they've been pretty good, right. They got Malcolm Butler

621
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent J C. Jackson unique story because he

622
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: was kicked out of school, Like he's clearly would have

623
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: been drafted like the second or third round, but had

624
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: some burglary stuff. Uh, you know, some character stuff and

625
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: uh made him fall in the draft. But how many

626
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: times is this gonna happen? Like? It's just I don't

627
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: think you just get an unlimited amount of these hits.

628
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: And one thing the Patriots really held hung their hat

629
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: on last year to make them a competitive team and

630
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: get them to the playoffs and really solid team is

631
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: they were excellent on defense and they ran the ball well.

632
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: They're losing their number one quarter so who are you

633
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: replacing them with? Now? They got draft picks and Belichick,

634
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: for the most part historically is much more patient than aggressive.

635
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: I would have in people around where I live wanted

636
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: the forty niners to give j C. Jackson, Like, I'm

637
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: cool and not giving him huge money. I get why

638
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers did it, but it is pretty risky, Like

639
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: is the guy a twenty million dollar player? I know,

640
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: technically average per year doesn't make twenty but when you

641
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: guarantee forty million, to me, I always look at it

642
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: like that's like two year contract, you know. I look

643
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: at the guaranteed money because a lot of the other

644
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: money doesn't mean anything to me. Like Christian Kirk Trent

645
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: ball Ky, the village idiot. He gave him, you know,

646
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: eight five million dollars over, No, he gave him thirty

647
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: seven million dollars guaranteed. So basically it's tied to him

648
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: for two years. But that's a lot of money. Like

649
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: to me, Christian Kirk is like a third wide receiver.

650
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: But that's what happens when you're desperate, and there's no

651
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: more desperate team than the Jacks because they always suck.

652
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they always suck, and they have all this

653
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: cap space so you gotta use it on someone and

654
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: there aren't there aren't really any receiver. What are they

655
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna do? Resign Allen Robinson? Right, you can't. Alan Robinson

656
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: ain't going back to the Jags, So it's probably the

657
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: only option of guys you can sign where it's like,

658
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, I just I don't necessarily

659
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: love that. But it's the Jacks. I don't expect them

660
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: to be very good, but we'll see. Are you looking

669
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: I also think of your team. You know your team

670
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: by the time you're listening to this. You know I'm

671
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: finishing recording this about seven o'clock at night. Uh, there's

672
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: no you know, I can't control the breaking news. But

673
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: if your team didn't sign a bunch of people today Historically,

674
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: like this is not a day when you nail big players, right.

675
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: You fill holes, but for the most part, you don't

676
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: find stars every once in a while, there's a Drew Brees,

677
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: a Charles Woodson, the guy that changes a franchise. But

678
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot of times you just get a really good player,

679
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you hit right and if you miss,

680
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: like it can have some ramifications because you overpaid. But

681
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think for as much fun as

682
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: the word free agency is because let's face it, today

683
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: in this week represents the most fun part of the

684
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: year for fans because like you can kind of put

685
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: your GM hat and go, that's what I would have done.

686
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: I would not have done that. I wish we would

687
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: have done that. This guy got too much money. It's

688
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: really one of the only industries because it's so public

689
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: and there are only you know, thirty two options for employment, right,

690
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: like when a lot of people people change jobs all

691
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: the time. Imagine if LinkedIn just had updates on your friends.

692
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, James Scott, you uned from high school,

693
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: went from making n K, he just got an enormous

694
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: raise Apple VP out making two hundred ten thousand dollars

695
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: with some stock options and that was just nonstopped on

696
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: LinkedIn and you would just have opinions, right, That's kind

697
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: of what this is. But of way more money. It's

698
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: not like normal people jobs. You know. Uh, Bill, your

699
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: buddy from college just signed as a salesman with this

700
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: new startup base salary relatively low sixty five thousand dollars,

701
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: but the opportunity to hit bonuses and make up to

702
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: three hundred seventy five k big risk here, incentive laden.

703
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: But with his skills he can probably at minimum hit

704
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: three DS. You know. That's that's kind of what we're doing,

705
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: just with professional athletes. Now you're just you know, I'm

706
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: dropping numbers like two hundred, three hundred thousand dollars. You're

707
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: talking about guys signing for thirty fifty sixty forty million

708
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed, right that. I always think it's funny, you know,

709
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: And in other sports like dude finally got the bag.

710
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: It happens a lot in the NBA when a guy

711
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: signs his first quote unquote Max it was like eighty

712
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: million or a hundred millions, like life changing money. You

713
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: mean that guy was a top five pick. You know,

714
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: his previous contract was twenty eight million dollars last time

715
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: I checked. That's life changing money. So we're talking just

716
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: boogoo bucks. Uh, this is all monopoly money because of

717
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: how much interest we all have. But I just think

718
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: that guys hit free agency for a reason. This is

719
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: not professional baseball where you know, in my backyard, one

720
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: of the biggest poverty franchises in the history of pro

721
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: sports because of their ownership, the Oakland A's never pay

722
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: anybody and always trade away. Their best players were in

723
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. The Green Bay Packers. You know, it's not

724
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: like they're in New York City or l A. If

725
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: they want to keep Aaron Rodgers and they want to

726
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: keep Davante Adams, they're keeping both those two players, and

727
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: they are paying them a lot of money. If that

728
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: was the equivalent in Major League Baseball, those guys would

729
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: not be on the Green Bay Packers anymore. In the NBA,

730
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: I would say both those guys will probably stay too.

731
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: So what makes the NFL a little like the NBA.

732
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: The difference in the NBA is guys are always demanding trades.

733
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: In the NFL for the most part, Like if you

734
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: get Davante Adams, or you get Aaron Donald or you

735
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: get you know whoever, Micah Parsons, right, sweet young Fletcher Cox.

736
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: Regardless of the city you're in, you can pay them.

737
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: And I would say that nine eight percent of big

738
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: time difference making players that aren't like you know, get

739
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: in trouble off the field, get extended by their home team,

740
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: never change, you know, laundry. Because in football, you don't, like,

741
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: you're not letting Justin Jefferson play wide receiver for someone

742
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: else in a couple of years. You're gonna give him

743
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: a massive extension in two years. Just what you do. Right,

744
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: there's no you're not flirting with free agency with your

745
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: top players. They stay on your team. So really, the

746
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: group of names you're looking at and listen, hey, if

747
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: you followed it today, which if you're listening to this

748
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: you probably did, it is a lot of random names. Right.

749
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: It's like c j Usama signs. That's not George Kittle

750
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: or Travis Kelsey, Right, those guys aren't hitting free agency.

751
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: It's like Roger Saffold sign that's not quentn Nelson Lake

752
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: and Tomlinson years old who the forty Niners was a bust,

753
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: traded a fifth round pick four once upon a time.

754
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: Ultimately let walk and now we'll get a fourth round

755
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: cop pick. Because if you're them, you can't pay a

756
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: guard that much money. Did you just have too many needs.

757
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge believer in paying guards and centers

758
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: big money and free agency unless you have a rookie

759
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: quarterback and are desperate and offensive line, then I think

760
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: you can justify it. But even then it gets a

761
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: little risky. If you hit on it, you feel pretty good.

762
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: But if you miss on a center and you're overpaying,

763
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: like last year, and for the most part, that should

764
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: be a plug in play position, it should be last

765
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: year the uh dude from Green Bay Corey Lindley Lindsley,

766
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: I think hit free agency, chargers, sign, and boom immediate starter.

767
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: It's easy. Obviously, all these guys, once you pay them,

768
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: are immediate starters. But it really is one of the

769
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: times of the year. I would put it second behind

770
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: the draft when you really change your team, right the draft,

771
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: free agency, and the waiver wire cutdown, and I would

772
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: include in the waiver wire cutdown trades. You can make

773
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: a lot of trades during training camp. Now they're on

774
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: the margin trades like you can trade a fifth round

775
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: pick for a guard, you can trade a six round

776
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: six round pick for a corner, like you can make

777
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: little moves and those guys can end up starting for you.

778
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: The draft is when you change your franchise. Free agency

779
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: is when you plug holes in the boat, and the

780
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: waiver wire is when you incrementally improve your team right

781
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: before the season. That's the three times a year when

782
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: a general manager in a front office get to impact

783
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: the football team other than that coach coach them up.

784
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: It's coaches really impact the majority of you know, obviously

785
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: once the season starts, there in control and the front

786
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: office really turns their head and turns their mind. What

787
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: the cool part about free agency from a scouting perspective,

788
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: if you're a pro scout in the NFL, you have

789
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: been working on this since training camp, evaluating guys that

790
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna become free agents, cap casualties, right, people that

791
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: may not be resigned, like a practice squad, Guys that

792
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: might become available. So this is a little bit like

793
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: the draft. The draft is truly year round. This is

794
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, five six months of work though, so you know,

795
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: you get to put it together and really the good

796
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: teams you isolate and you pick a couple of guys.

797
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: The Eagles are great at this. They picked two or

798
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: three guys, they get their site set and they attack

799
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: they did a couple of years ago with Hargraves, who's

800
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: an awesome defensive lineman. Form they did today with us

801
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: On Reddick from Carolina that added eleven sacks. You know

802
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: you're not This isn't a shotgun blast, right, You don't

803
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: just blast your shotgun and hope a couple of people

804
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: sign on. This isn't college recruiting. You isolate a couple

805
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: of guys that you really want and you get really aggressive.

806
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: But you also have a number that you're like, I'm

807
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: going above this. I'm not gonna We're not playing with

808
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: fake money here, We're playing with real dollars. So I

809
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: have a number, and I also have to fit into

810
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: the cap. That makes sense. I can't go any higher

811
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: in this, but I leave myself a little wiggle room,

812
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: like if I need to add a couple of million dollars.

813
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: The agent kind of knows I can, especially if he

814
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: knows I really want the player. So really you have

815
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: to court. It's like a girl, right when your first

816
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, kind of getting with her. You don't want

817
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: to seem overly aggressive. You want to play it just perfectly.

818
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 1: Then you get to that stage, it doesn't matter anymore.

819
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: But early on you kind of gotta you gotta play

820
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: it cool, but you can't play it too cool. You

821
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: gotta let her know she likes you, but you don't

822
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: want to look like obsessive. There's just kind of middle ground.

823
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: And then you know, once you go in a couple

824
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: of days sleep together, then it's you're off and running, right,

825
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: same deal. Like the last couple of weeks, you've been

826
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: feeling it out as a GM, You're like, you know,

827
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: we're really interested in your client. We have about this

828
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: much money in the agent. You know, I don't blame him.

829
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: He's always trying to get the most money because he's

830
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: got a percent of that money. So the more money.

831
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: I did the math. Mike McCartney, the dude that represents

832
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in all this contracts just for the Vikings,

833
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: just for the Minnesota Vikings, I think he's made up

834
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: to like a hundred and eighty five million dollars. His

835
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: original contract was eighty five million dollars. Then he just

836
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: signed a thirty five million dollar extension, and a couple

837
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: of years ago we signed a sixty six million dollar extension,

838
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: So you do like sixty six plus eighty now you're

839
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: at one six plus another thirty five. I mean you're

840
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: at a hundred. You're at one point a hundred and

841
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars. Well, if you get a couple percent

842
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: of that, you're talking three and a half three point

843
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: eight million dollars just for the agent negotiating the contracts.

844
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: So you want there's nothing like a quarterback. You get

845
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen. Hell, you get a Kirk Cousins, you

846
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: get a Dak Prescott, obviously, Mahomes, Matt Stafford, they print

847
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: you money nothing, you know, tight ends and the wide receivers.

848
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: Those guys are good. There ain't nothing like a quarterback.

849
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: Nothing but the other positions. You know, you gotta gotta

850
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful with your cash. And there there's

851
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: a back and forth with the agents and it's it's fun,

852
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's the it's the fun part in the

853
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the chess game that goes back

854
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: and forth between the two of them. Probably a little

855
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: bit less now just because you know, like when I was,

856
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, you're my age and your thirties,

857
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, in the nineties, they're just the cap was

858
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: a lot smaller. There wasn't as much money. The difference

859
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: between making a million dollars a year and three million

860
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: dollars was a big deal. Now, I mean, is making

861
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: ten million dollars and eleven and a half million dollars

862
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: that big of an issue is gonna change your life.

863
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: It won't change where you're gonna live. It won't change

864
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: the amount of cards you can buy, It won't change

865
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: the amount of free cash you're gonna have. Really, you know,

866
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: especially if you get with the right accountant. You know,

867
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: back in the day, you really had to fight for

868
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: the margins. Now, I mean, we're talking what the hell

869
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: the when your tax bill comes in four years, is

870
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: the difference between getting thirty eight million dollars guaranteed and

871
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: thirty six five million. You wouldn't even notice it's a

872
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: line item. You're talking so much fucking money anyway, That

873
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: is just you're talking monopoly money with n of human beings.

874
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: And uh, it's the agents. They gotta work the agents

875
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: versus g ms. But it can't really be too contentious

876
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: because ultimately got to work together, and once you sign

877
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: the player, you want to carry on a good relationship,

878
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: and it's a business partnership, right and it's different than

879
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: a true business partnership because you're really dealing with the

880
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: human being every day. If me and you buy a

881
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: building and we go in have these on it. If

882
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: there's a building worth a million dollars and you go,

883
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, we need two dollars for the down payment,

884
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: You give a hundred, I give a hundred. We are

885
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: we're going fifty fifty on it. In a couple of years,

886
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: that building is worth four million dollars. So now we've

887
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: got three million dollars equity or one point five a pop. Right,

888
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: it's pretty black and white, you know, yeah, you know,

889
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: depending on like that one guy find the tenants or whatever.

890
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: But if we just split it fifty fifty, it's pretty easy.

891
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: Where and we're not doing the building is it's in

892
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: itself right, But ultimately, if you and I, if I'm

893
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: the g M and I signed you and we're into

894
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: a contract and now we're you know, ultimately partners because

895
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: I need you to be good, but it's you're still

896
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: You're still the product, so I have to massage depending

897
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: on who you are. It's why linemen tend to be

898
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: pretty easy. They don't need much massaging. Sometimes, you know,

899
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: you get a wide receiver or you get a dB uh.

900
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't know the person. That's what's

901
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: great about the draft. You get to draft the player.

902
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: You get to get a good feel for him during

903
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: this time, you know the character stuff. Then you get

904
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: to draft him and then you get to mold him.

905
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: It's like when you get hired out of college and

906
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: you intern at a place, and then you get hired

907
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: full time and then you work there for several years.

908
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: The company culture kind of sculpt you as much as

909
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: yourself sculpting to the company, you kind of become one.

910
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: You know what they expect, you know how you operate well,

911
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: to do to excel. It's like a pretty good marriage.

912
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: That's why the Patriots have kept Slater and mccordy and

913
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: these guys forever, because they've same with his coaches. Why

914
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 1: he brings these guys up. You know, he's not into

915
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: the occasional he'll bring a guy in, but for the

916
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: most part, historically before last year, he was very very

917
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: careful with the guys he brought in because you just

918
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: don't know how they've been taught. You can hear rumors

919
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: all you want, but unless you have a coach on

920
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: your staff that's been around the guy when he was

921
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: in the league. You know, you don't really know, right.

922
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: It's not like because if I got to sign you

923
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: to a three year contract, right when you get if

924
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna marry someone, usually go on several dates, usually

925
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: date the person for six months, a year, a year

926
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: and a half before he hits each other. Right. But

927
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: in in free agency, you've evaluated that I'm on tape.

928
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: But as we know, there's more to players than just

929
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: the tape. You're dealing with them six months a year,

930
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: every single day in the building. Is he a good guy?

931
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: Is he simply a free agent because the team let

932
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: him test the market? Was he simply replaceable? Did they

933
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: have a backup? I mean, you've got to ask these

934
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: questions to feel comfortable with doing these deals. I mean,

935
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: he's are These are big investments, you know, the number

936
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: one investments that any NFL team will make. Besides like

Speaker 1: their stadium is gonna be you know, free agent and

938

Speaker 1: draft picks. That's where you're giving all your money to

939
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: extending players. It's your players, they're your talent, they're your product.
