Speaker 1: How you doing, guys?
Speaker 2: It is a cantline podcast for anybody. See Geek the
Speaker 2: official ticketing partner of the Washington Commanders that spoon. I'm
Speaker 2: jinks you doing, man?
Speaker 3: Good brother? How about yourself?
Speaker 1: And I'm doing it.
Speaker 3: We're working today. I work, work, work, work, work. Ain't
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that, man. And we were talking about
Speaker 3: this All Star game man, because I'm torn.
Speaker 1: You wanna go ahead, just get into it?
Speaker 3: Why not? Man, gotta do it because it's some damn
Speaker 3: miss Okay, Let's be honest. I come from the generation
Speaker 3: of Mike L. Joy Okay versus Dominique in the slam
Speaker 3: dunk contests, dunk after dunk after dunk, coming at each other,
Speaker 3: the brown Bits, Carder hell Dwight Howard, who's a fool
Speaker 3: by the way, Yes, I come from but he could
Speaker 3: dunked because I believe when did the one percent alpha
Speaker 3: athletic mail stop loving to compete? We get that happen
Speaker 3: Jinx and I have to blame it on one man.
Speaker 3: And I love Lebron like I wonder the people. I
Speaker 3: think you're can have two goats in New York three
Speaker 3: four five goats with is I think Lebron is just
Speaker 3: much the goat. It's Michael Jordan. I do think that.
Speaker 3: But when Lebron James came into the league and they
Speaker 3: begged him to be in the dunk Slam Dunk contest
Speaker 3: and he refused to do it. Ever, right, all the
Speaker 3: rest of the Stars followed him. That's right, and none
Speaker 3: of them got into the slam dunk contests after that. Ever,
Speaker 3: the three point contests, it still brings the stars out, Yes,
Speaker 3: but why are they scared of the dunk contests? Do
Speaker 3: you think a bad dunk with ruin your career, how
Speaker 3: we feel about you? At what point does the AffA
Speaker 3: athlete stop being after.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's a good question, and I don't
Speaker 2: know why I have a theory or too. Number one
Speaker 2: is these dudes are all friends now, which is fine.
Speaker 2: They all hang out on a banana boat and which
Speaker 2: is okay.
Speaker 1: But back in the day and I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of an old head.
Speaker 2: But Jordan hated everybody. Yeah, Bird and Magic didn't like
Speaker 2: each other. Yeah, Magic and Isaiah Thomas had a riff
Speaker 2: for a long time. Yeah, these dudes did not chill
Speaker 2: out together in the offseason, never wanted. It was cut
Speaker 2: throat and when Jordan and Nieck would go at it
Speaker 2: in a slam dunk contest.
Speaker 1: I mean it was like, what can you do? This
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do it?
Speaker 3: Better?
Speaker 1: Do it better.
Speaker 2: It was just back and forth and it was thrilling.
Speaker 2: Of course the dunks were great, but it was these
Speaker 2: are two of the best in the game trying to
Speaker 2: come at one another. And that added a layer where
Speaker 2: all right, Mac McClung, that's great.
Speaker 1: Who's coming after Mac mcluck. He plays in the G League.
Speaker 3: I'm about to say, Jenks. At the end of the day,
Speaker 3: the best dunker in the world is a G League
Speaker 3: basket club, right, if you're in the NBA. If I'm
Speaker 3: a player right now, I gotta be sitting on their
Speaker 3: roster saying I cannot do the G League player, right.
Speaker 3: You can't because you're scared of the stage. He's not.
Speaker 3: He's not scared of the stage, and you are. I
Speaker 3: can't believe the best dunker in the world is not
Speaker 3: even in the NBA.
Speaker 2: And you know what, if you lose to him, there's
Speaker 2: no shame in that. And it's alright, it's a dunk contest.
Speaker 3: Hey, Jalen Brown just lost to him.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, do you think any less of him?
Speaker 3: I don't because he just got paid two hundred plus million.
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't care. Matter of fact, applaud Jalen.
Speaker 3: Thank you for standing up doing what NBA players should do.
Speaker 3: I have seen guys play harder in a pickup game
Speaker 3: at U C l A.
Speaker 1: I believe it.
Speaker 3: Then they take more pride in a pickup game than
Speaker 3: they do the NBA All Star Game four hundred. I
Speaker 3: ain't think there was many that much time on o'clock,
Speaker 3: no defense, shot a shot shot. It's just let's just ended.
Speaker 3: How about we bring the NBA the NFL players, let
Speaker 3: them in the duck country?
Speaker 1: Is that the solution? Honestly?
Speaker 2: Where it's just some sort of because skills competition, because
Speaker 2: sabrina versus stuff was it was the.
Speaker 3: Best part of the weekend. And I have been saying
Speaker 3: this my way to bring the w NBA to another
Speaker 3: level is I want this to happen, Jens, tell me
Speaker 3: what you think about this. I I feel when I
Speaker 3: take my daughters and my sons to basketball games compared
Speaker 3: to football games is very short. Yes, I remember in
Speaker 3: high school we used to watch the girls play and
Speaker 3: then we watched the boys play. How about if I
Speaker 3: went to the Washington Wizards game and the Mystics played first, Oh,
Speaker 3: and the Wizards played second, So I get to literally
Speaker 3: be in here for six hours. Maybe? Yeah? And I
Speaker 3: think that high school format will not only enrich the WNBA,
Speaker 3: make them a lot popular, but get them on the
Speaker 3: money train. Yeah. And I think you get more bang
Speaker 3: for your bus up. The stadium makes more money, the
Speaker 3: owners makes more money, everybody makes more money. Would you
Speaker 3: go to a game and you got to watch the
Speaker 3: w NBA play first then the NBA.
Speaker 2: I think it would be great, But is it plausible right,
Speaker 2: because then you have to you gotta switch courts. Why
Speaker 2: I guess you don't just switch, but to have that
Speaker 2: much basketball? Like what time do you start that game
Speaker 2: so that people can go to both?
Speaker 3: Now we're talking time restraints, Yes, we're talking that, But
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people steal. If you're not
Speaker 3: a Mystic fans, A lot of people get their time
Speaker 3: right where they make it in just win the Wizards
Speaker 3: of Rice. So I think you mesh both of these crowds.
Speaker 2: But then there's also cost, right, you're getting double the game.
Speaker 2: Now you have to pay more for an already expensive product. Right,
Speaker 2: these ownership groups, especially if you own both teams, You're
Speaker 2: not gonna charge the same for two teams on the
Speaker 2: same court.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, oh, then we're gonna double the prices.
Speaker 3: Then, well, because I'm giving you a double header. Hey,
Speaker 3: all right, So if I'm giving you a doubleheader and
Speaker 3: these teams need to share revenue, you was paying thirty
Speaker 3: because I can't kick you out. It ain't like we
Speaker 3: can flush the crowds out once you end your end.
Speaker 3: And this the whole thing of it. So I think
Speaker 3: I can go ticket in a half. I can charge
Speaker 3: you a ticket in a half in two games or
Speaker 3: people gonna pay for it.
Speaker 1: Though going to a pro game is already pricey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is in any sport, and I totally understand it.
Speaker 3: But I just think you get more consumption, more bang
Speaker 3: for your buck if it's two games.
Speaker 2: I will say this, whatever the NBA does, they do
Speaker 2: need to at the risk of sounding really oh, they
Speaker 2: do need some sort of defense, some sort of balance,
Speaker 2: because in the old days, it was these were games, they.
Speaker 1: Were grinded out.
Speaker 2: It was ninety two eighty four. Yeah, and I understand
Speaker 2: why people want to see offense. I get that, but
Speaker 2: now we've sort of tipped the scales in the other direction,
Speaker 2: where routinely you'll see.
Speaker 1: One forty two, one thirty.
Speaker 2: At this All Star Game had a team score two
Speaker 2: hundred points for the first time.
Speaker 1: I think they need that healthy balance.
Speaker 3: Ain't no healthy balance because it's, first of all, it's
Speaker 3: an All Star game in the middle of the season.
Speaker 3: It's only so much you can do. I think it's
Speaker 3: getting to the point now where the game is just obsolete. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's it's all about the three point contests,
Speaker 3: the skills Challenge, the slam dunk contest. I can't say
Speaker 3: it's bad. I can't say it's good because I'm not
Speaker 3: seeing the best athletes in it. Right, I'm not seeing
Speaker 3: uh Like, I want to see Luca, Luca the done
Speaker 3: And I hate to tell everybody I told you so.
Speaker 3: I told everybody Luca won't be good before he got here.
Speaker 3: Then nobody want to listen to no frenchmut but Luk Atlantister.
Speaker 3: I want to see Luca in the three point contest.
Speaker 3: I want to see all the best, right. I want
Speaker 3: to see the highest flying dunkers in the game. I
Speaker 3: want to see all of that and come up with
Speaker 3: some kind of defensive challenge. If you don't, if you
Speaker 3: don't put defense on the Froe front, you can't sell
Speaker 3: it to people. I Dramond, when you say defense in
Speaker 3: the NBA, it's one person coming to mind. Yeah, Draymond,
Speaker 3: name somebody else that just defense is my thing. Drew Holliday.
Speaker 1: Is very sure.
Speaker 3: This is shy. Yeah. Yeah, like the list PG player
Speaker 3: a little defense, yeah, but other than that, like they're
Speaker 3: leaving it behind. It's like, if you want to get
Speaker 3: paid in the NBA, now, you need to score thirty a.
Speaker 1: Game simply as that we're gonna pay some bills.
Speaker 2: We gotta talk some football man, some offseason football are
Speaker 2: We're just.
Speaker 3: So upset with this All Star game. The Pro Bowls
Speaker 3: no better? Oh my god, the Pro Bowls no better. Like,
Speaker 3: let's just be honest.
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch a tug of war. I mean, I
Speaker 1: get it, it gets fine, yeah, but but I understand
Speaker 1: why they got rid of the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. It's just the football too physical.
Speaker 2: For the extra game and it's a longer season anyway,
Speaker 2: Like you can only ring so much out of the
Speaker 2: human body.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, I mean right about that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Honda, guys.

Speaker 3: I remember as a kid. You remember the can man,
Speaker 3: the can man, the can man. Yes, everybody had a
Speaker 3: can man in the city and we would just take
Speaker 3: these bags, bags of like soda cans.
Speaker 1: And by the time I made money as a kid.
Speaker 3: This is what I'm telling you. I have been a
Speaker 3: green guy. I have been a recycling of my whole life.
Speaker 3: Like for our generation, the can man was the extra
Speaker 3: money outside the house. I could do this with that.
Speaker 3: My mom and daddy knowing that going to get this money.
Speaker 3: An I'm too young to know about the can man.
Speaker 2: Imagine today if you said, what do you what are
Speaker 2: you guys gonna do this afternoon, Well, we're goin to
Speaker 2: get on our bikes. We're gonna take a trash bag,
Speaker 2: trash bags, and then wherever we see litter, we see cans,
Speaker 2: we're gonna pick those cans up and put them in
Speaker 2: a bag and make money. Once we turn those cans in,
Speaker 2: they'd be like, what the hell you're talking about?
Speaker 3: These new kids, they won't do none of that. They not.
Speaker 3: Somebody might see me and put me on I g
Speaker 3: I'm picking up cans like we found glory in.
Speaker 1: That there was it was, it was.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that was just riding around my buddies
Speaker 2: having some cans and I'm gonna get money for this.
Speaker 3: Five since a can. That's not a lot of good
Speaker 3: money right there. And now riding my bike with like
Speaker 3: this big old gobments man with this can, like like
Speaker 3: I got illuminum poison in on my back because I'm
Speaker 3: carrying so many cans. The good old days, oh my god,
Speaker 3: the good old days when people one scared to recycle
Speaker 3: and recycle it was a part of life.
Speaker 1: It was you just did it.
Speaker 3: No, you just did it for money, like we did
Speaker 3: what we had to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, We're a different generation, don't understand. Were the generation
Speaker 3: that actually played defense, were the generation that loved the
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl. We the generation that showed up at the
Speaker 3: dunk contest flushed to come. Hold on people. We are
Speaker 3: the generation that didn't have cell phones. We the generation
Speaker 3: that our parents had to trust us to get home.
Speaker 3: It's very true, to get home before that that light
Speaker 3: come on. Like, we are the generation that had payphones,
Speaker 3: house phones. You remember twilling the court? Oh yeah, do
Speaker 3: you remember Carl Waiting when it first.
Speaker 1: Hit and you thought it was the craziest thing ever?
Speaker 3: Somebody think got too cold? Oh my god, sin. We
Speaker 3: are the generation that bridged the gap of none, tick
Speaker 3: and tick.
Speaker 1: That's very true.
Speaker 3: We are the test subjects. By the time we made
Speaker 3: the college cell phones, we would side kicking it to death.
Speaker 3: We were like, we are the generation that they gonna
Speaker 3: look back on and say, this is the generation that
Speaker 3: bridged the gap. I guess we gen X, right, I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: we are the generation that brought us from Captain Kirk
Speaker 3: to Game of Thrones.
Speaker 2: I remember, honestly when computers were like home computers, and
Speaker 2: I would do a little bit of program out of
Speaker 2: a nerd because I was like, what is this so
Speaker 2: interesting to me? But I remember when you know, I
Speaker 2: mean everybody remembers AOL America online there was a numbing shh.
Speaker 2: There was also an online service called compu served, you remember,
Speaker 2: so I remember getting the mail and listen. The internet
Speaker 2: wasn't the thing going online wasn't think this is super
Speaker 2: early stages.
Speaker 1: So I remember looking at this. I was like, sports scores,
Speaker 1: weather articles, what is this?
Speaker 2: It looks but I couldn't fathom what it was because
Speaker 2: nobody was online. The only people online with these people
Speaker 2: are one percent of the population. So I was like, yes,
Speaker 2: So I was like, this sounds amazing to me, but
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is to do with I
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. I don't know how to
Speaker 2: get it. And of course now you wouldn't think about it.
Speaker 2: But I remember bridging that gap between learning about it
Speaker 2: and watch it happen.
Speaker 3: What if I told you, with my higher learning education
Speaker 3: at Missippi State that I created Twitter? Would you believe me?
Speaker 3: I would not? All right, you shouldn't, but I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell you. He go the truth to me. I had
Speaker 3: this way upsite in college, smooth smack dot com, where
Speaker 3: I would get on here and talk trash to receivers,
Speaker 3: teams and coaches, a platform created by me in one
Speaker 3: of my classmates. It blew up. My treads were set
Speaker 3: up the same as Twitter. Well, we could go back
Speaker 3: in forth, back in fourth back, and you had it.
Speaker 3: I had it in the pup in my hands. Instead
Speaker 3: of naming it smooth smack, I should have named it X.
Speaker 3: I should have named it e LUNs must app listen.
Speaker 3: I had it in the pump of my hands. Five
Speaker 3: billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you wouldn't know my biggest regret online.
Speaker 3: Oh also my other biggest regret. I had a chance
Speaker 3: to invest in vitamin water. Oh no, that he did
Speaker 3: get rich to tried to die. That's all I know.
Speaker 3: I know I had a chance to get in ground level.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I was just so young, and they sent
Speaker 3: me like boxes of vitamin water. I was like, this
Speaker 3: is good and it's free. By the way, I ain't
Speaker 3: gonna invest with you, no problem. Two minutes later we're billionaires.
Speaker 3: What are you doing? I'm still playing ball? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: So are you gonna be the second person to tell me?
Speaker 2: Because Colin Cara was saying on his radio show Colin
Speaker 2: that the Commanders, yeah, will win the NFC East in
Speaker 2: the upcoming twenty twenty four season, based on what he
Speaker 2: saw out of the Texans. Right, Yeah, they avenue head coach,
Speaker 2: They get a studded quarterback in the draft, they get
Speaker 2: better on defense, they have cap.
Speaker 1: Space to bring guys in.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can you see this realistically happening?
Speaker 3: Yes? I can. Philadelphia as bad as we were last year.
Speaker 3: We played them toe to toe. Yep. New York is
Speaker 3: a mess. Travis sher Marckhery Dallas is the only hurdle.
Speaker 3: We already beat them by subtraction. We stole they defensive
Speaker 3: coordinator made him out head coach, our head coach. Now
Speaker 3: in turns knows every weakness and strength of the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: He knows who's good my offense. He's knows who good
Speaker 3: on defense. He know how to attack Michael Parsons. He
Speaker 3: knows everything. Then not only did we steer the defensive coordinator,
Speaker 3: made him out head coach the other candidate, Joe, we
Speaker 3: stole him too. Yep, they're going to take a step
Speaker 3: back on defense with the already, I don't know we
Speaker 3: can win the big game offense. It's a clear path
Speaker 3: for us to get a quarterback, get the free agentc
Speaker 3: we need, get to play here, get a player here,
Speaker 3: plug and play and beat these guys. I think it's
Speaker 3: no team in the NFC East that's unbeatable. It's no
Speaker 3: perfect team in this team. I think Philadelphia brain trust
Speaker 3: is gone because when they lost though to coordinators, they
Speaker 3: went backwards. They got players, But coordinators mean a lot
Speaker 3: to this game. So I think we can win this
Speaker 3: by attrition.
Speaker 1: We can win.
Speaker 3: We can win this by subtracting from what the Cowboys
Speaker 3: had last year. They will take a step back, and
Speaker 3: us upgrading ourself at quarterback gives us a chance to
Speaker 3: take a step forward.
Speaker 2: How much does that help that you almost never see
Speaker 2: a repeat champion in this division.
Speaker 3: It is always it refreshes the palette. Yes, you know,
Speaker 3: we got a chance, like you just know, and you
Speaker 3: know if you didn't win it last year, you got
Speaker 3: a chance. Like that's the good thing about it right here.
Speaker 3: And let me ask you this. That played well this year.
Speaker 3: He did Ceedee Lamb played well. But they can't run
Speaker 3: the ball and they can't stop him the run. And
Speaker 3: we know this. And if you can't run the ball,
Speaker 3: you can't stop the run. You can't win a playoff game.
Speaker 1: And now they're in their heads. They have a real
Speaker 1: mental hurdle together.
Speaker 3: Thank you, And they got they got they got to
Speaker 3: figure out what they're gonna have to do in the
Speaker 3: cap too, like they're not as cap friendly as the
Speaker 3: rest of us. So I do see a way for
Speaker 3: us to not only win this division, but to be competitive.
Speaker 3: I can see that happening.
Speaker 1: When you look at Dan Quinn as a head coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fact that he brings in Joe wett
Speaker 2: So and those guys having worked together, does that also
Speaker 2: give a team a leg up because you're not just
Speaker 2: bringing in guys that you know based on their reputations.
Speaker 2: And of course these guys know each other, but having
Speaker 2: worked so closely together, I would think that means.
Speaker 3: You just pick up and run like it's no and
Speaker 3: Coach Queen don't have to sick and gets him right,
Speaker 3: I trust you, Like, let me go over here with
Speaker 3: the offit, because I trust him that much that he
Speaker 3: knows what I like. You know when I like it,
Speaker 3: know he know what style of defense I want to play,
Speaker 3: He know how I want these guys coached up. He
Speaker 3: knows everything. And that's why I say we won that
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys on attrition, because we not only stole
Speaker 3: your brain trusts on defense, we stole your second brain
Speaker 3: trust also. Right. So now that makes it easy for
Speaker 3: Coach Wit to get any thing and get to work
Speaker 3: on what he wants them to do. And he knows
Speaker 3: the vision of the head coach. And any time he
Speaker 3: needs to pick his brain, he right there in the
Speaker 3: office down right right next to him. Yeah, I can
Speaker 3: go right there and coach, you, remember what we did
Speaker 3: in five against the Raiders. I think we need to
Speaker 3: try that this week. Like so, it's so it's a
Speaker 3: memory base there too with these guys, and that's why
Speaker 3: I think that relationship gonna be very scrub.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is exciting to see this coach. She's
Speaker 2: staff in place and now and we'll get to the
Speaker 2: draft in the second. But now you have more cap
Speaker 2: space than anyone else in the NFL.
Speaker 3: A lot of cap space. That mean a lot of opportunity.
Speaker 3: And you got a couple of positions that mirror each other,
Speaker 3: like meaning, you need a left tackle, you need a
Speaker 3: right town. Well, I can get one in the draft.
Speaker 3: I can get one in free agency, all right, I
Speaker 3: need a guard. I can get one in free agency.
Speaker 3: I can I can draft this guy. And you gotta
Speaker 3: ask yourself. Let's be honest. If you do the numbers,
Speaker 3: Let's say we draft ten guys. Okay, five probably play.
Speaker 3: That's just the way it goes. No, that's always way.
Speaker 3: So when you look at these positions that you want
Speaker 3: to feel with starters, all of them can't be draftees,
Speaker 3: right Like, They're gonna have to be some proving guys
Speaker 3: in there. And that's where the patch of queens in
Speaker 3: the world come in, the dev and whites come in,
Speaker 3: That's where the the Brian burns come in. That's where
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: You're ready for one of those heat seekers.
Speaker 3: Man, I just I just think when you add somebody
Speaker 3: to it. And the thing about me too. Free agency,
Speaker 3: I like to steal from the great, Like, if I'm
Speaker 3: gonna sign a free agency I want him off playoff teams,
Speaker 3: like I don't want to sign a non playoff team
Speaker 3: free agent, like because now I'm like, did you have
Speaker 3: to help your team win? Like I know Patrick Queen
Speaker 3: helped this team win. I want to steal you a
Speaker 3: right other guys, like we gotta get a rusher in here,
Speaker 3: gotta get in in here, Like I want to get
Speaker 3: the right guys, but I also want them to be
Speaker 3: from a playoff pedigree. YT's say that.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this because I think it's an
Speaker 2: interesting question. Where you can learn to win, you can
Speaker 2: learn to lose.
Speaker 1: Oh, no, losing is a habit exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So how many times were there in your career where
Speaker 2: you would watch someone come in who had maybe been
Speaker 2: a winner before. I'm sure you experienced this play times
Speaker 2: You're like, now, that's why that guy right there is a.
Speaker 3: Champion man watching London London, how he prepared London Fletcher
Speaker 3: prepared like a champion. Uh, just a guy that had
Speaker 3: been there and did that Like it's it's easy sometime
Speaker 3: when you see guys that already have made it to
Speaker 3: where you trying to get to. Yeah, and you look
Speaker 3: at they habits London, first man in and last man out,
Speaker 3: studious in the class, but also take care of his body.
Speaker 3: And that's how you go fourteen fifteen years and not
Speaker 3: miss a game.
Speaker 1: Credible.
Speaker 3: I pay.
Speaker 1: Then, let's talk about the draft.

Speaker 3: It's so great? And I just want to know how
Speaker 3: the fans would react. How do you think the fans
Speaker 3: will react if we took one of those number two
Speaker 3: second round picks, not the A two pick, Yes, the
Speaker 3: second round pick. We got two of them. Yes, let's
Speaker 3: say we take the lowest one, okay, and we trade
Speaker 3: for Justin Fields.
Speaker 2: I think the fans would hate it, but I I
Speaker 2: I also well, because I'm not saying it's the wrong move.
Speaker 2: But look, let's think from a fan perspective, right, what
Speaker 2: is always more popular the shiny new toy the draft,
Speaker 2: the draft coming out of college who's never played it down,
Speaker 2: or a guy who's gotten better in the NFL, but
Speaker 2: who is maybe not a type, not a top ten quarterback,
Speaker 2: but who's gotten better, but also play for a bad team.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's the wrong call, but if you
Speaker 1: make that call, you have to believe.
Speaker 3: These are the same people that applauded when we skipped
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert and how can a team would die a quarterback?
Speaker 3: Skip a quarterback and draft of the end the lie right.
Speaker 3: Everybody applauded it, great pick, and too it wasn't like
Speaker 3: at some point you got to realize, this is a
Speaker 3: prove it game. I love Caleb Williams, he hasn't proved
Speaker 3: anything in the league. I love Drake Maine, He's done
Speaker 3: nothing in this league. Justin Fields has And let's just
Speaker 3: let's work that angle of Justin Fields. I mean we
Speaker 3: trade that second pick, I mean the second round second pick.
Speaker 3: Now we still got the number two pick. You can
Speaker 3: trade down for a haul, true, not out of the
Speaker 3: top ten. If you don't want to. You can trade
Speaker 3: down to nine with Atlanta.
Speaker 1: And get what tackle.
Speaker 3: I can get the best tackle, I can maybe get
Speaker 3: the best tight end. I can get whoever I want.
Speaker 3: Because if I go down, I just got your number
Speaker 3: nine pick. I probably got your second round pick. Yep.
Speaker 3: And I got your first round next year. So if
Speaker 3: Justin Fields don't work out, I still got two first
Speaker 3: rounds next year. I can get him now if I
Speaker 3: get that tackle for Sunu for sewu uh, let's say
Speaker 3: from Penn State. If I get him blocking for Justin Fields, now,
Speaker 3: I still got the first pick, the second pick in
Speaker 3: the first in the second round, I'm still in the adept.
Speaker 3: I can remake the team easily, all right. I can
Speaker 3: see here. I could just take Drake may at two.
Speaker 3: I could take maybe Jaydon Daniels, Jens Daniels at too.
Speaker 3: So so many options. But if you if you're in
Speaker 3: the gym, put your head on right now, Yeah, put
Speaker 3: your head on. Where are you going?
Speaker 1: I gotta take your quarterback?
Speaker 3: I got.
Speaker 2: I like Justin Fields. I'm not of the opinion that
Speaker 2: maybe he has he'll be better if he goes to
Speaker 2: a better team he needs, because that Bears team is
Speaker 2: especially the offensive line.
Speaker 3: That the bat.
Speaker 2: But I wonder how high his ceiling is compared to
Speaker 2: a Drake May or compared.
Speaker 1: To a Jade Daniels. So Justin Fields is he better
Speaker 1: than a serviceable quarterback? Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But when it comes to and again, I know these
Speaker 2: guys haven't played it down in the NFL. But if
Speaker 2: you think that one of this comes down to your
Speaker 2: personal scouting and evaluation. If you think may Or Daniels
Speaker 2: has a much higher ceiling because it's such a quarterback
Speaker 2: driven league, I think you have to go after one
Speaker 2: of those two guys.
Speaker 3: And you only feel that way because we got to
Speaker 3: pay Jason Fields. That's why you really feel that way.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what man you would. I would
Speaker 3: pay him, but I know I don't have to break
Speaker 3: the bank too, Like if I bring him in before
Speaker 3: he even takes a snap and pay him a good
Speaker 3: list salary, I don't have to break the bank with him, right,
Speaker 3: So I just think it opens up because what's are
Speaker 3: of your older options, Kirk Cousins, you're breaking kirkback. Oh god,
Speaker 3: the best account in football, Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: Nobody's done a better job of making that money.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you bring brother Russell Wilson in. Please.
Speaker 3: We got too many politicians in DC already. We don't
Speaker 3: need a nuh So, what I'm saying is Fields is
Speaker 3: the best option outside of the draft, right, And if
Speaker 3: you're looking at your options, I think it's an option,
Speaker 3: especially what you have to fill a lot of holes
Speaker 3: on this team. Yeah, it's an option. I think you
Speaker 3: have to pay.
Speaker 1: Guys, don't forget about see Geek.
Speaker 2: You know you love See Geek the official sponsor of
Speaker 2: this podcast and the official ticketing partner of the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2: The Dealer's finalize there a member of the family. If
Speaker 2: you're buying your selling tickets to any event, any live
Speaker 2: event in the d m V an order Commanders games
Speaker 2: as well, it is see Geek the new official ticketing
Speaker 2: partner of the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1: So Commanders fans can fan.
Speaker 2: I think you have to look at all options, right
Speaker 2: because you never know what a team will give you
Speaker 2: or you might have to pay him, whatever that may be.
Speaker 1: So if you're choosing, though, let's say let's put Justin Fields.
Speaker 2: It's table here for just a second, all right, If
Speaker 2: you're choosing between Drake May and Jayden Daniels, because I
Speaker 2: know your comps are you think Drake Man is more
Speaker 2: of a Justin Herbert and you said, Josh Allen, okay,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, and you said Jaydon Daniels remind you.
Speaker 3: Of RG four. There it is, but not in a
Speaker 3: bad way, right right, right, all right. I thought RG
Speaker 3: was special coming out. I thought the Shanahans did a
Speaker 3: great job at incorporating and building an offense around him.
Speaker 3: But straight line speed is the same with these guys.
Speaker 3: Both terrible when it comes to taking tackles. Laser arms
Speaker 3: can make deep throws. Every throw you want them to make,
Speaker 3: they can make. For me. Not see Drake may standing there,
Speaker 3: six four and a half, two hundred and thirty pounds.
Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, I think I could work with this. Yes,
Speaker 3: And he is a wild card too. Is he has
Speaker 3: a little ma homeishit in him where he would do
Speaker 3: these things outside of the pocket where he'll just flick
Speaker 3: the ball all out throw a ball back like he
Speaker 3: has dead in him, and everybody will say, ah, well,
Speaker 3: he didn't have a great year. It's a football player.
Speaker 3: We all had a great years versus bad years. They're
Speaker 3: just part of it. If I had to pick right
Speaker 3: now with what I've seen, Caleb already picked, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: going Drake May, you not so much. You're a Daniel's guy.
Speaker 1: I go back and forth.
Speaker 2: This is I honestly I can see either guy, and
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be a politician here and I
Speaker 2: can This is when I realize maybe this is above
Speaker 2: my pay grade a little bit like this is when
Speaker 2: I need to see things from a real football perspective
Speaker 2: that it's hard for the general fan to see. We
Speaker 2: all have opinions and it's not that And I'm not
Speaker 2: one of those people that believes.
Speaker 3: You didn't play football.
Speaker 1: You can't know anything, You can't make decision.
Speaker 3: You can study something.
Speaker 1: You can study. Now do I know what it's like
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 2: No, I never know, But certainly this is when I
Speaker 2: think football people this is what they get.
Speaker 3: Pay for, yes, because it's an identify you because when
Speaker 3: you get in there, you're not trying to identify what
Speaker 3: they do great, You're trying to identify what they don't do.
Speaker 3: And that's hard.
Speaker 1: And they what they could do, Yeah, like what they
Speaker 1: could be.
Speaker 3: I like that action right there, quarterbacks ut. But you
Speaker 3: gotta see what they cannot do and can they learn
Speaker 3: that habit? Like when people see Drake May, they like,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him in big games? Well, maybe you
Speaker 3: need to ask his teammates what happen?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: So it's never one player. Then they're like Jane Daniels
Speaker 3: will where was this kid and when he was at
Speaker 3: Arizona State, like he wasn't making these plays, then that's right?
Speaker 3: Did he only do that because Elite Nabors is the
Speaker 3: number one where I receive it in the league that's
Speaker 3: going first round, And Brian Thomas Jrs. Is a number
Speaker 3: one wide receiving in the league that's going first round.
Speaker 3: Is that the reason he was great? Because I just
Speaker 3: seen the other two, Caleb and Drake play with the
Speaker 3: cupboard bear, and that's how I like it. I like
Speaker 3: to see my quarterbacks go through something and it tells
Speaker 3: me who you are. I don't want to catch you
Speaker 3: at your finest hour. I want to catch you somewhere
Speaker 3: in the middle.
Speaker 2: And don't you want to talk to players and coaches
Speaker 2: who can say this is a great leader. This guy
Speaker 2: can go off script better than any playff ever, or
Speaker 2: we gotta make sure everything's in order, or this guy
Speaker 2: can't go off so you can.
Speaker 3: Do what I don't. I don't want the quarterback that
Speaker 3: needs everything perfect.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
Speaker 3: And when I look at this three, I'll say whose
Speaker 3: situation was better? I think Jane Daniel's situation was better.
Speaker 3: And with everything perfect, he went running his mean he
Speaker 3: did not win the national championship, all right, and that
Speaker 3: says a lot to me because you had a team
Speaker 3: to do it and you could not get it done
Speaker 3: with two pro style weapons on the outside. Says a
Speaker 3: lot to me.
Speaker 1: Who're gonna pay something? I can't wait for the draft.
Speaker 1: I'm just excited that to see this team in this.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be in Detroit, so you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be in the motown city living the dream.
