1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: The volume, What is going on everybody? Hopefully everyone's having 2 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: a good weekend. We put together a little best of 3 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: little best of topics for the weekend. Obviously, the Cleveland 4 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: Browns made headlines multiple times with a massive trade with 5 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: the Jags, but then they ended up with Shador Sanders, 6 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: So what are they doing? We will dive into that. 7 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: You know, Draft grades are funny because no one knows anything, 8 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: but we did do a dive on some of the 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: teams and the picks that we liked and are high on. 10 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: And what is going on with Belichick? I mean the situation, 11 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: this story has taken on a life of its own 12 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: with his young lady friend who went viral this last weekend. 13 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: So this situation I'd give some thoughts on. But let's 14 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: talk a little football. Okay, There's a lot going on, 15 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: and I didn't do anything on Saturday. Partly I just 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: needed a breather. You know, mel Kiper was was fuman. 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm pro mel Kiper, but I do think he was 18 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: clearly I don't know why he was so angry. And 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: you know, Lewis Riddick and Rhys Davis and they were 20 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: going back and forth and it was like, God, you 21 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: got to be exhausted. I was exhausted from the story. 22 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: I needed to take twenty four hours off, so me 23 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: and Colin touched on it. I've had some time to 24 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: think about it, and I'm going to rehash the theory 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: that I just told Coward. So if you already heard it, sorry, 26 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: and if you haven't, this is my theory because I 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: don't think it's that complicated, because it doesn't make much 28 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: sense to take multiple quarterbacks in a draft, especially in 29 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: the third in the fifth round. That's that's unheard of. 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: You know, you go back to RG three and Cousins. 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: It was because Kyle Shanahan and Mike Shanahan did not 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: want RG three. Kyle Shanahan was trying to convince them 33 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: to trade back and take Cousins early. He's talked about this. 34 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: This was a situation where I think I just read 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: something that the Cleveland Browns had flown out and it 36 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: never got out. And met with Jimmy Haslam, with the 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: coach with the GM with Dylan Gabriel. They liked him 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: a lot. Now I don't even necessarily agree with their assessment. 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: I think drafting Dylan Gabriel in the third round is 40 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: a little rich for my taste. Right, It's like paying 41 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: a million dollars for seven hundred thousand dollars home now 42 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: value in the eye of the beholder on draft day, 43 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: we can argue that till we're blue in the face. 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he was going in the third round. 45 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: I actually feel pretty confident now. You could always make 46 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: the argument, how do you know I've been doing this 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: long enough? Pretty good idea. There was a reason the 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: will Howards, the Riley Leonards, the Quinn You weers like 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: you didn't need to take those guys in the third 50 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: or fourth round. You knew they were gonna be there 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: in the sixth or seventh. I do think Dylan Gabriel 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: at the latest. I mean, I think he could have 53 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: got him in the fifth. But whatever. My thought is this, 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: as Shador standers, starts to drop. When you work with 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: someone long enough, it's like when you're growing up and 56 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: you live with your mom, your dad, your brothers. You 57 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: really know them well, right, you know what sets them off. 58 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: You know what buttons to push to piss them off. 59 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: You know when it's like, okay, I better, I got 60 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: to be Especially if you have an older brother or 61 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: an older sister like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna avoid 62 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: this issue. I know my dad really values this, even 63 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: though my mom doesn't care. And so you just kind 64 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: of work the room a little bit, right. Definitely, if 65 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: you've been in a company and you've worked with someone, 66 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: you've worked for someone, you get a pretty good feel 67 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: for their demands, what they're into, what if they are 68 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: an overbearing boss, what they will force you to do, 69 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: and you kind of know how to play them a 70 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: little bit. I don't mean like nefariously, but just like 71 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: to settle everything down. Once Shador Sanders starts dropping, Andrew 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: Berry and Stefanski aren't them. They know that Jimmy HASLM 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be interested. Why because Jimmy Haslam has forced 74 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: several quarterbacks on them that they did not want, and 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: they clearly in this draft wanted Dylan Gabriel. So once 76 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: he starts plummeting, they go maybe texting to each other, 77 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: maybe talk in their office, close the door, like maybe 78 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: we should draft this guy a little bit higher than 79 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: ideally we want to. So we just get a quarterback 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: in our draft class, and then Shador will go some 81 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: picks later and we don't have to force this upon 82 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: us because Shador sanders when I think Kevin Stefanski, I 83 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: don't think an idea will fit. I actually think Shador's 84 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: playing style is a lot like Deshaun Watson. Now, I 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: think Deshaun was a better college player and a better 86 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: prospect than Shadoor, but I think there are some similarities 87 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: well in Kevin Stefanski's offense. And this is the Kyle 88 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: Shanahan thing. They don't really into freelancing, right that they're 89 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: in to do exactly what I tell you. We can 90 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: argue to we're blow in the face. That's how they 91 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: want to play. It's why they like guys like Kirk 92 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: Cousins and Brock Purdy and Joe Flacco and Dylan Gabriel. 93 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: He will get rid of the ball quick and go 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: exactly where you want to go with him. Now, can't 95 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: he see that guy's kind of short. We'll find out, 96 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: but I think they did that hopefully, like Okay, this 97 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: will shut the owner up. The problem is is that 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: Shador kept dropping, so it's like, wait, didn't know one 99 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: picked him in the fourth and then he's still there 100 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: in the fifth. Now it gets to a spot where 101 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: the owner tells you we're taking them. And when you 102 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: watch the reaction of those guys in the draft room, 103 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: and I know they push back against this bullshit that 104 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: you could see in Stefanski's eyes he wanted no part 105 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: of that. Andrew Berry did not want to make that pick. 106 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: And then when they discussed it in the press conference, 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: it was clear like this was not their doing. And 108 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: we have a long enough history to now know this 109 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: owner forces them to do things they don't want to do. 110 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: I think Andrew Berry and I think Kevin Stefanski are 111 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: good at their job. Now I don't have to agree 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: with their quarterback evaluation because I think Schador Sanders is 113 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: a better NFL prospect than Dylan Gabriel. They clearly did 114 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: not and it makes no sense to take a guy 115 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: in the third and then another in the fifth. Because 116 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi used to talk about this for a long time, 117 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: The NFL practices are math equations. You don't get an 118 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: unlimited amount of plays. This isn't basketball where it's like, 119 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: well just run it again. Eventually, you can only run 120 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: so many plays with your players, especially now because of 121 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: the rules. So in a practice and I'm just gonna 122 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: pick some uh, even numbers to make things even. Let's 123 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: say during a team period, we will have thirty reps 124 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: of ones verse ones, twos verse twos, threes verse threes. 125 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: Well we're not. We don't spread those equally, right. I 126 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: give more reps to my better players, especially once the 127 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: pads come on in training camp. So when I got 128 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: pads on my ones, and I've been to a lot 129 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: of practices, and every coach does it a little bit differently. 130 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: Get seventy percent of the reps. Then the twos come 131 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: in and get the next twenty percent of the reps, 132 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: and then the threes get let's say ten to five 133 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: percent of the reps. Now, it might change on a 134 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: given day, but it is disproportionately weighted to starters, backups, 135 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: and threes. And the thing is like at tight end, 136 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: if I'm George Kittle, I'm like, hey, coach, I need 137 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: a blow. I'm exhausted. It's like, hey take this. Take 138 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: the next ten plays off. So the ones, the twos, 139 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: in the threes, he just sits on the sideline and 140 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: the other tight ends rotate with the ones, rotate with 141 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: the twos, rotates with the threes. I can do that 142 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: at wide receiver, I can do that at running back. 143 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: I can do that at all the other skill positions, right, 144 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: I cannot do that at quarterback. Quarterbacks aren't coming in 145 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: and out. They stay with the unit. Now with the threes, 146 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: you can rotate the threes, or you can rotate a 147 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: guy with the twos, I guess, but like if you 148 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: are the two quarterback, you get those reps. It's why 149 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: you see when there's a competition for the backup job, 150 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: they usually rotate them through training camp, but over the time, 151 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: like one guy ends up getting more reps what you 152 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 1: would have given going into training camp. Obviously, Joe Flacco 153 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: is gonna get the ones and just based on his experience, 154 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: and I don't think this guy's any good. He's gonna 155 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: start with the twos. That's gonna be Kenny Pickett. So 156 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna have two guys rotating with the threes. You're 157 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: just not gonna get that many plays. So it doesn't 158 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: make any sense. I've seen a lot of people try 159 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: to justify It's like just keep throwing darts at the dartboard. 160 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: And I agree with most positions. It is just very 161 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: difficult to take multiple quarterbacks in a draft and get 162 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: a feel for either one throughout practices, so you can't 163 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: convince me, and other people have written about this in 164 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: The Athletic that this wasn't the owner. And anytime the owner, 165 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm all for the owner having opinions. It's his team, 166 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: but when he's forcing you to take players, and this 167 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: feels like it's like this is out of Shador's control. 168 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: But I just think it's a weird spot. And the 169 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: other thing, and I mentioned this to Colin, is coaches 170 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: in front office people sometimes disagree, right, I like a 171 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: player that you don't like, or vice versa, and sometimes 172 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: we just agree to disagree and we take the player. 173 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: And if the coach doesn't like the player that the 174 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: front office drafted, he can manipulate how many reps that 175 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: guy gets at practice, how much energy and effort I 176 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: put into them, right, especially when you're talking mid to 177 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: late round picks. And if the coaching staff, if the 178 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: head coach, especially if the front office as well, is 179 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: not on board, they will not care because part of 180 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: and this is the cool part about like being Jalen Milroe. Listen, 181 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: I thought he's a pretty big wildcard, pretty risky pick. 182 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: But here's what I know, John Schneider and Mike McDonald 183 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: all in on him. Think about Mike was around Lamar 184 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: for years. Think about what made John Schneider a legend. 185 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: He pounded the table for Russell Wilson. So those guys 186 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: believe in mobile quarterbacks. You know, Russell was a better 187 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: thrower than Lamar right away, just in terms of accuracy. 188 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: Lamar obviously became a much better player over the course 189 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: the last four or five years. But when people support you, 190 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: and this is no different than any industry, when you 191 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: work at a place where the guy that hired you 192 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: or the guy that runs the company believes in you, 193 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: want you there, it's much easier to succeed as a player, 194 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: just like as any normal employee. You can start sensing, like, 195 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: do these guys even want me here? How often have 196 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: we heard over the years, older veteran guys, just players 197 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: throughout the history of the league, to be like, yeah, 198 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: I was out of place. The coach in the gym 199 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: didn't like me, but they just didn't want me there, 200 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: and I knew it was destined to fail. Early on. 201 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: Happens all the time, will continue to happen. It's happened 202 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: historically in the in the league, so I think this 203 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: is a very clunky, weird, bizarre spot. And while in 204 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: theory I get like, I'll just throw darts at a 205 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: dartboard accumulate as many players as you can. Well, yeah, 206 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: it's easy to rotate slot corners in and out. It's 207 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: easy like, oh, this slot receiver gets these reps. It's 208 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: not really how quarterback works. You kind of gotta get 209 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: a cohesion with the unit you're repping with. So it's 210 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: just very bizarre situation there. 211 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: Blending Vice's signature dynamic storytelling with the high octane world 212 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: of sports, Vice Sports brings an exciting and diverse range 213 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 2: of programming that goes beyond the game, catch action pack, 214 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: live events, and exclusive sports documentaries and profiles only on 215 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: Vice TV. 216 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: The NBA eighty two game grind is done, and now 217 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: the real fun begins.

When you see a 251 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: guy in his mid seventies who's really rich dating a 252 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: girl in their mid twenties, A lot of people are 253 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: gonna have opinions, a lot of people are going to 254 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: be judgmental, and most importantly, a lot of people are 255 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: going to make fun of you. Now, if you think 256 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick is the only coach in the NFL 257 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: and definitely college football who is older than fifty five 258 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: sixty that has a young girlfriend, you would probably have 259 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: to live under a rock. Now. Just because these things 260 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: aren't publicly, they are definitely going on. And some of 261 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: these men, I promise you have wives and kids at home, 262 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: So like Bill Belichick is not some lone wolf here. 263 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: He's definitely not the first old rich guy to date 264 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: some young girl. And in his business, which is very public, 265 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: whether you're an NFL coach, whether you're a college coach, 266 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,479 Speaker 1: all these people have PR directors. And I've interviewed coaches, gms, 267 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: some players back when I was doing stuff with the 268 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: Niners and Raiders over the years, and typically when you're 269 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: doing one of these interviews, the PR director is sitting 270 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: or stay right there, And honestly, it's never been weird. 271 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: I've never been told by one of these guys. And 272 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: I have relationships with a lot of these individuals with 273 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: different teams, worked with many when I was with the 274 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: with the Eagles, met many through the Niners and the Raiders. 275 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Most of them are pretty cool and I'm pretty chill. 276 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: It's it's not that serious. Now. If there's something controversial 277 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: or something they know is unfair, maybe they will chime in, 278 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: But for the most part, like you just become, you 279 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: just build a normal relationship with the individual. Now, typically 280 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: the coach or the player is not sleeping with that 281 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: human being. But I would imagine in Hollywood, in some 282 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: of these other industries where there is a female PR director, 283 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: and I've never experienced that in the NFL, though some 284 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: of the people under the top dog in the NFL 285 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: have been women, and who knows, maybe these people have 286 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: slept around, but that is a is a different dynamic. 287 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: So when you see Bill doing this interview and she's 288 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: chiming in from the side, if that was John Middelkoff 289 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: at forty years old, I don't think it would be 290 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: that weird. I honestly don't think it would be that 291 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: big of a story. It would just be the PR 292 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: guy doing his job. We're not here to talk about that. 293 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: That happens in these circumstances all the time. How often 294 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: are you watching a press conference for your team right 295 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: during the season when your team loses a game and 296 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: you turn on whoever your coach is and he's given 297 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: the press conference and you're watching on YouTube, you're watching 298 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: it on Twitter, and you hear two more questions. Guys, 299 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: that's the PR person, like they have a job to do. 300 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: I think the reason we judge this completely different is 301 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: because we know Bill's banging, and that is a situation 302 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: in itself I found kind of funny. Now, the interview 303 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: was extremely awkward and very weird. News flash, Belichick gives 304 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: some weird interviews. He has a long history of doing that. 305 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: I do think as this week is played out, like 306 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: I got to the point where, like I can't keep 307 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: clicking on these back and forth between CBS between her, 308 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, publicly putting out emails. Here's what I know. 309 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: This is not Ole miss this is not Arizona State. 310 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: This is North Carolina, a pretty serious academic institution. And 311 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: Belichick has had a unique reign in football in a 312 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: world where these teams are worth billions of dollars. Typically 313 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: they have had many powerful people in the building. Usually 314 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: the GM has a lot of sway what he says matters. 315 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: Typically in a lot of these places, the president has 316 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: a lot of juice. Belichick was basically the king of 317 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: the operation despite him not owning the team. Obviously the 318 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: Crafts did. The Crafts didn't tell Bill what to do 319 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: how he kicked Tom Brady to the curb. So Bill 320 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: is used to this world where he is actually much 321 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: closer to one of these legendary college coaches like coach 322 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: k like you know Bobby Knight's downfall, like Roy Williams 323 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: was in North Carolina or some of these football coaches, 324 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: Bobby Bowden, Nick Saban, you name it, where they could 325 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted, no one told them what to do. 326 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Bill doesn't have this equity with this institution. 327 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: So these institutions are run by presidents, right, and they 328 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: typically are on the academic side. It's why when you 329 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: have these situations, it falls on the athletic director, but 330 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: they're not even technically the boss. If the presidents or 331 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: depending on how these academic institutions are set up, the 332 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: border regions, whoever, it's almost like a private company where 333 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: it's like your answer to the CEO and mainly the 334 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: board of directors. That's how college football operates. And Belichick 335 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: like this has got to be what is going on 336 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: right now? What did we get ourselves into? And I 337 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: am pro Bill Belichick anyone my age, definitely if you're 338 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: older than me. I'd even say if you're in your 339 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: mid to early thirties and you witnessed the entire Belichick run, 340 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: there is no way that you could argue he's one 341 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: of the greatest tacticians you've ever seen. He was a 342 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: fucking genius what his teams consistently did since till from 343 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: one to like eighteen nineteen was remarkable. Now we can 344 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: argue till we're blue in the face about the credit 345 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: between him and Tom Brady. You could not have watched 346 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick in these big games and think that he 347 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: didn't have a massive advantage over the other coach. And 348 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: that's from Pete Carroll to Andy Reid. I'm talking Hall 349 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: of famers, je Sean McVay. He was getting the best 350 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: of them constantly. Mike Tomlin never had a shot against 351 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: William Belichick. But this situation now, pr in college matters 352 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL, ultimately a doesn't because if you win, 353 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: everyone shuts up. Now that's true in college as well. 354 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: But you're recruiting, even in this world of nil and 355 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: revenue sharing, like you are the front facing individual of 356 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: your sport and of your university. The way Kirby Smart 357 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: and Nick Saban and Ryan Day and even Jim Harbaugh 358 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Michigan acts conducts themselves, the headlines they make matter. This 359 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: would be embarrassing if it was the NFL. I do 360 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: think in college this is almost worse. And I started thinking, like, 361 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: you know, everyone considers Al Davis one of, if not 362 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: the greatest football minds in the history of the NFL. 363 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: His last six seven years got a really weird and 364 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: it's sad for younger people that's how they remember. This 365 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: current iteration of Jerry Jones has just gotten bizarre. I 366 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: think he'd be widely considered one of the greatest and 367 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: more impactful business minds of one of the great American 368 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: businesses we've ever seen, the National Football Lee. When you 369 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: get old and you get rich, and it's hard for 370 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: anyone around you to check you whether that's like Jerry, 371 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't do this many interviews, al like, this 372 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: is probably not a great idea. Bill, you probably shouldn't 373 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: make the twenty five year old you're banging your pr 374 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: assistant manager probably not the best idea. Let's let's separate 375 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: some things here. But who's gonna tell him that? I mean, 376 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: his son works for him, clearly doesn't have the juice 377 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: to tell him that. Michael Lombardi also works for him, 378 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: Clearly doesn't have the juice to tell him that. And 379 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: even if they did, he's not listening, because he's shown 380 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: over the last couple decades he ain't really listening to anybody. 381 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: And for the most part, it's worked out in his favor. 382 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: I do think once you go to college, though, this 383 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: has got a chance. He's not a Texas I saw 384 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: today headline they're gonna have a forty million dollar payroll 385 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: this fall. Sark, who's become a really good coach. I'll 386 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: give him his flowers. Has a budget that I not 387 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: many teams are going to be even close to. I 388 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: would say, and imagine the only teams that could even 389 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: sniff his budget would be Ohio State in Oregon. That's 390 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: not Belichick in North Carolina. Their talent even in a 391 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: conference which is not nearly as good as the top 392 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: two conferences the SEC in the Big Ten, he's going 393 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: to be at a disadvantage. Plus one huge advantage he 394 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: had in the NFL, just like Andy Reid has now 395 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: is he every single guy in the league he has 396 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: seen or has exposure to coming out in the draft, 397 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: and every single coach he's going against, many he's gone 398 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: against for years or decades. But he's seen every scheme. 399 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: There's nothing you can throw at him on a weekly 400 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: basis that he hasn't seen player wise or scheme wise. Well, 401 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: college football is doo to Bill. He hasn't coached against 402 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys, a lot of guys that 403 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: he's going to see on a weekly basis, have never 404 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: worked in the NFL. Now, ultimately, you know, James Gladstone 405 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: might be tried to tell you and Jack's and build 406 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: it football is this complicated, almost like a technological project. 407 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: It's not that complicated. And Bill a couple of years 408 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: ago when he did the Top one hundred players with 409 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: Brady in the NFL Network, I think did a great 410 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: job of articulating, like art war my strengths against your weaknesses, 411 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: my weaknesses avoid your strengths. Like we're not trying to 412 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: overthink this. We're not building bridges here, We're not building 413 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: high rises, We're not doing this isn't a hard transplant, 414 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: This isn't that comp We're just trying to gain three 415 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: yards on third and two. And I think Bill his 416 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: football knowledge speaks for itself all time. Great this situation though, 417 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: And you know, Coward used to have a thing two 418 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: things make smart men dumb, money and women. And for 419 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: a while, you know, Listen builds a single guy, he 420 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: can do whatever he wants. But this situation with this 421 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: girl empowering her feels like it's just it's kind of 422 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: jumped the shark here, and some one, if they can, 423 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: needs to rein it in because it's got a chance 424 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: to kind of derail this North Carolina experience before it 425 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: even starts. Okay, I mean I think the Shador Sanders 426 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: topic is settled Belichick and his girlfriend. That topic exploded 427 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday and means we're a spring football So let's 428 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: let's dive into some of your questions. Huge fan of 429 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: the bag, huge Niner fan, curious to know your thoughts 430 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: on their draft. Saw a couple draft grades and the 431 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: team got panned. I personally thought they made some great picks. 432 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: One silly Shanahan reach with Watkins the ole miss wide receiver, 433 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: but everything else will value with the defensive line as 434 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: the main focus. Every year the Niners get ridiculed in 435 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: the draft, then the actual core talent is the rounds 436 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: four through seven. How much doc should we even put 437 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: into these draft grades? Listen? I mean draft grades are 438 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: the dumbest thing in the history of the Internet in 439 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: terms of to take them seriously. No one has any clue. 440 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: The greaters, the teams, the actual players, the fans, no 441 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: one knows shit. I mean, no one has any clue. 442 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: Now totally understand why they do draft grades because the 443 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: written word on the Internet has never been less powerful. Right, 444 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: The videos and podcasts wiped them out, but that is 445 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: still something that gets people to click. I'm guilty. I 446 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: see someone I was like, I'll click. I've clicked on 447 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: multiple draft grades, not even because I care. I just 448 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: can't help it. It's like an addiction. I've been doing 449 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: it for multiple decades. No different than mock drafts. Think 450 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: how irrelevant mock drafts are. Nobody knew that the Jacks 451 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: were gonna trade out, nobody, and then all of a 452 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: sudden they trade up. And the mock drafts are kind 453 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: of irrelevant because all of a sudden, Travis Hunter is 454 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: not playing for the Browns and he's on the Jacks. 455 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: And then it sets off like a domino effect. And 456 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: it happens every year, but we consume a lot of 457 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: mock drafts. Kyle Shanahan said his wife called him on 458 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: draft Day. They just said she looked at a mock 459 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: draft and they really wanted Mike Hail Williams, the guy 460 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: that ended up taking and he was like pick twenty 461 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: eight in the mock draft. She looked at and says Kyle. 462 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: Maybe she said, honey, maybe she said, babe, are we 463 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: sure that we're drafting the right guy? Are you overvaluing 464 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: this player? And even Kyle was like, had to like rethink, 465 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's like the mock drafts. The draft grades 466 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: impact the fun of this whole thing, but they don't 467 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: matter the forty nine ers. I've been to the majority 468 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: of Kyle Shanahan training camps, and the one thing I've learned, 469 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: you get really excited, like any training camp you go 470 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: to when you have a high pick and we're doing 471 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders forever Khalil Mcamari Cooper. Back to back years, 472 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, with the forty nine ers they had Solomon 473 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: Thomas and then Nick Bosa. I think back to back 474 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: years obviously Trey Lance when they drafted really high. It's 475 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: exciting to go see the first overall pick, but look 476 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: at the names that I just gave out. Solomon Thomas 477 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: never got his fifth year option picked up and is 478 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: on like this fourth different team. Trey Lance is one 479 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: of the biggest draft whiffs of all time. Why because 480 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: Brock Party came in, Wally pipped him and it wasn't 481 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: even close. Not a soul that was at training camp. 482 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: Rock Perty's rookie year went Hey, there's Brock party. Do 483 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: you know that this guy is gonna become the starter? 484 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: No one said that, of course, not no one ever 485 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: would say that. And I think you got to be 486 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: very careful with just drafts. And this is why I 487 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: don't get that into it beside like the super famous players, 488 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: because we see it every year. I've been to these 489 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: practices where all of a sudden it's like, well, the 490 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: third round guy is getting beat out by an undrafted 491 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: free agent. The amount of guys that signed undrafted free 492 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: agent contracts that will make teams for everybody is pretty 493 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: mind blowing. And the thing with the forty nine ers 494 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: was clear. I disagree with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch 495 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: in terms of their emphasis on offensive line, especially the 496 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: tackle position, like they are just allergic to taking tackles. 497 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: I would draft tackles, multiple tackles throughout the draft. I 498 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: would treat them like other positions, like maybe we'll hit 499 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: on a guy in the fourth round. I'm not looking 500 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: for Trent Williams in the fourth round, but can I 501 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: get a serviceable player? And they just don't do that, 502 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, now, maybe they were in position and guys 503 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: went above them. I know in the third round the 504 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: Raiders took a couple offensive linemen they were probably interested in. 505 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: But I asked around the NFL because I felt like 506 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: I like Jalen Walker a little bit more than Michael Williams. 507 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: I was rebuffed, like middle cooff, I think you're overhyping it. 508 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: I didn't meet many people that I know that didn't 509 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: weren't extremely high on their first round pick, six', five 510 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy, pounds just you, know he's a 511 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: little but like he's got a chance to be a, 512 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: really really good player in THE. Nfl their second pick 513 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: is six' five six six three and, thirty pounds the 514 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: defensive Lineman. From texas THAT'S where i got. SOME eh 515 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: i think it's a. LITTLE rich a lot of teams 516 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: put a lot of emphasis in pass rushing from their interier. 517 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: Defensive lineman this guy's not really a. Pass rusher he's 518 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: much more of a run stuffer and he's battled defensive 519 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: injury concerns over the course of. His career but one 520 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: thing with those first, two picks they got enormous, human 521 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: beings and their defensive line is. Not existent It's Like 522 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: nick bosa and then It's That will smith jiff where 523 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: he walks into the, you know to. The mansion everyone's 524 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: gone and he's just standing on the rug. Looking around 525 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: that's what it looks like after they've literally got rid. 526 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: Of EVERYBODY so i never have a problem taking blue 527 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: chip players from blue chip programs and it's on you 528 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: to coach. Them up and their defensive line coach has 529 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: had a lot. OF success i think in the third 530 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: round they drafted the kind of run and hit Guy From, 531 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: oklahoma state which again some of my friends didn't love, 532 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: the player but, you know you watch. His Highlights howie 533 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: roseman talked about this over the course of the. Draft 534 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: weekend this game is so much about space and, speed 535 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: now and that's what this. Guy IS but i mean 536 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: put an emphasis on their later. Round picks they have 537 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: hit on a lot of. Those guys but you know. 538 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: WHO knows i, Don't KNOW so i have. No issue 539 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: i'm not pushing back against people going their draft suck 540 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 1: like nobody knows they'll. Be fun the key to their 541 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: draft is gonna be those two defensive linemen gotta be 542 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: good and obviously ideally hit on some random guys throughout 543 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: the course of the third through, seventh, Round RIGHT but 544 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: i think they had two, high picks pick eleven and 545 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: pick whatever it was forty four or forty three or 546 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: five or whatever number it was in the. Second round 547 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: like those guys gotta, Be good like those, were, really 548 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: really really valuable assets in. This draft the VOLUME 549 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: M hm
