1
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody's gone in middle Coop three

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: and Out podcast just finished Eagles Giants somehow made it through.

3
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: It was crappy, then it was kind of entertaining, then

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: it was crappy again, and then it was really entertaining

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: at the end. Uh. We'll obviously dive into this game

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: right off the top. Some thoughts on wins. I might

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: have to, you know, take an ail on Joe Judge.

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I crushed him for making coaches run, but I I've

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: been impressed with this football team the last four or

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: five games, really ever since that Week two game against

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: the Niners. They I gotta tip my hat to him. Uh.

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna dive into a lot of stuff to

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: uh his name starter. Have some thoughts there in regards

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: the Fitzpatrick. The Ravens made a big trade. Uh why

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: why it was just a clinic on value? Some thoughts

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: on Justin uh not, Yeah, Justin Fields almost like Justin Herbert.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and the kind of the season he's embarking on.

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's pretty clear Trevor Lawrence is

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: the top quarterback in the draft, but Justin Fields was

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: the guy that led the charge for Ohio State in

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, you know, as a player to come back.

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I think he can really cement himself in this, uh

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: this upcoming next you know, seven or eight games you

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: play in the Big Ten, probably the playoffs, and he's

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: on a stacked team, and uh, it's gonna be fun

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: to watch him starting Saturday. Three for the Money, as always,

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: picked three games that I like, and you know, I

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: actually really like three of these games. Uh what else

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: do we have? Go on Middlecoff mail bag at John

30
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Middlecoff of course, slide up into those d m s

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff is my Instagram. I've been saying, I

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna happen this week, maybe the next

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Maybe my timeline was off. I'm a

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: little in the dark on this. Getting not trying to

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: make excuses, but still subscribe to the podcast three Me

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and Out, Stitcher, Spotify, Apple, wherever you the three and

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Out with John Middlecoffee. If you listen through college Feed,

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: greatly appreciate that. I think I should still be on

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: college Feed for a little while. But it could happen

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: at any moment, so just you know, keep your head

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: on a swivel. Like what would Belichick just be ready?

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: You just never know. Uh, That's that's the only update

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: I have right now. Let's let's just start with the

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Eagles and Carson Wentz. I think sometimes you just need

45
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: to trust your eyes. And everything now is so analytic,

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: analytically driven, I would say, just the way we operate

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: in society, numbers are so prevalent. I don't know any

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: human that works in any sort of business that if

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: you go to their office, uh, they don't have the

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Excel spreadsheet open. Uh, and rightfully so. But I think

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: in football and basketball, and definitely in baseball, numbers are

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: a huge part of the way we evaluate players. They've

53
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: always been a huge part in the way we evaluate businesses,

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: the way we evaluate employees. Right are you making money

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: or you're losing money? In football, it's always been a

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: huge part the statistical you know, if you throw touchdowns,

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: throw picks, throw yards, whatever. We've diven. We we've diven.

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a word. We've dove much deeper

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: into the numbers, right just because you throw for four

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: hundred yards if two d of those came after the catch,

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: like what we understand that now we've become more educated

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: with numbers, and I'm pro numbers, but I think sometimes

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: when you just look at a box score, it can

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: be disingenuous is the wrong word, but it cannot paint

65
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: the whole picture. And listen, you could probably call me

66
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: a Carson Wentz defender, but I'll be the first to

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: say he has made some very very shitty place this year,

68
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: like just some head scratching. You can't make that if

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: you're a max quarterback. He made it tonight on Thursday

70
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Night football, a hero ball play, and sometimes he takes

71
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: on this hero syndrome. But I was thinking about this

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: watching the game. Pros warts and maybe, like Hollywood and

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: music probably too, is probably one of the only industries

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: where an entire company can be based on a guy

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: in their twenties. Most companies right are run independent on

76
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: C E O, S or whoever. People just think about

77
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: like a normal restaurant. Typically the guys are in like

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: their forties or their fifties. Pro sports put give all

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: this money depend on these guys that are in their

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: mid twenties. That is a lot of pressure, and I

81
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: think some guys, sometimes especially at the quarterback position, when

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: you have injuries, can try to do too much. Now

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you also do dumb things while you're

84
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: trying to do too much. Because he does. He makes

85
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: some hero ball plays and he has I don't even know.

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: I think he had seven touch interceptions coming in today.

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: He threw one. So he's got a lot of picks

88
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: this year. He's on pace for you know, like twenty

89
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: interceptions this year. It's not pretty and it's got to stop.

90
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: But if you can't watch the end of that game,

91
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and I think we all acknowledge he's playing with offensive

92
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: lineman you've never heard beside Kelsey. He's got his best

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, Lane Johnson out there. It looks like he's

94
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: playing coming in and out of the game. Their wide receivers.

95
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: I follow football for a living. Really, the only profession

96
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: I've ever done has either been working football or talk

97
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: about football that I've been actually paid to do since college.

98
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: I've never heard of these guys. I mean I have

99
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: now the full gum guy. No one knew who that

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: guy was till three weeks ago when he caught the

101
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: game winning pass against the forty niners. Never heard of

102
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: the guy, of course, not he went to Old Dominion.

103
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: Even Greg Ward Jr. Who we knew was the quarterback.

104
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: We didn't know about that guy till last year when they,

105
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: you know, took him off the practice squad. They're playing

106
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: with the Rogers tight end, the dude that went to

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I think he's a cow Uh. He played

108
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: for the Packers, but he went to cal I'd say

109
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: they're playing with why because Urch is hurt, Godard's hurt,

110
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders or second went round starting running back is

111
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: not there, Like they're playing with a bunch of randoms.

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: And when the dust settled, he through s rs and

113
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: through the game winning touchdown. Now it's against the Giants,

114
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: who are not good and the Eagles to win a game,

115
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: they are typically gonna have to win it at the

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: end of the game and it's not gonna be pretty.

117
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: But I think coming into the game, he was missing

118
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: nine of his eleven starters to start the year. And

119
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Deshan came back tonight and then it looked like he

120
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: like shattered his knee in the part return. And I

121
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: like Doug and I'm I'm a big fan of Doug Peterson.

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: He some of his play callings sometimes like had me

123
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: scratching my head through a fade. I don't know if

124
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: it's Carson checking at the line. You never know, so

125
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: I uh do I give the people that I know

126
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of benefit out sure, So I'm not

127
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna like, did Carson check it the Doug call it?

128
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: If Doug called Akim Butler fade uh in the middle

129
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter, like, I can't defend that. If

130
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: Carson's calling that fade. I I can't defend that either,

131
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Like that's idiotic, you can't run that play that they're

132
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: two point plays right now or disaster. True. But Carson

133
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: and I tweeted this right before I came into the

134
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: office to press record. We can shoot on the kid

135
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: all we want. I don't, but I'm just saying, like

136
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: Twitter and analysts and people to just say he sucks.

137
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: The overwhelming majority of the NFL. Let me repeat that,

138
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of the NFL would take him. I

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: think every team in his division Dack's broken ankle, but

140
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Carson er dak We saw last year carsonal played him

141
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: in the game. They had to have the Giants YEP,

142
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Washington YEP, Chicago Bears YEP, Minnesota Vikings YEP, Atlanta Falcons YEP,

143
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Yep, Sean Payton. You think he'd kicked Drew

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: Brees the curb right now? For Carson Wentz. Of course

145
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: he would bruce Arians, He'd probably actually like him. But

146
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean Tom Brady's playing fine. Cardinals, No Rams, yep, Niners.

147
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: Hell yes, like a lot of teams would take this guy.

148
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: I just listen to the NFC. More than half the

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC wouldn't even flinch. Some of these guys.

150
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking that that he would replace or dollar quarterbacks.

151
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: So listen, is the guy struggling? Has he made some

152
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: bone headed plays? Of course? Is he a freak talent

153
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: and a guy that if you can't see if this

154
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: guy gets it together and they just can stay healthy.

155
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: And people hit me up all the time like who's

156
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: to blame? Well, listen, I'm not a doctor. I just

157
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: went to a state school and uh, I didn't go

158
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: to that many classes. But I don't know that much

159
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: about Like when I have something weird happened to me,

160
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: I immediately called my doctor. I know nothing about injuries

161
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: medicine beside the ones I've had. I do believe because

162
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: I saw it with the Niners who last year. In

163
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: the last couple of years have had very similar to

164
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Both teams fire doctors, trainers, strength staff, did

165
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: total overhauls. Both teams are still in shambles this year.

166
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I do think there's a randomness to it. Like do

167
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: I think like the trainers are causing more high ankle springs.

168
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't. Again, not a doctor, just cal Poly and

169
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: a little graduate degree in Fresnel State, so you know,

170
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think anyone get me mixed up

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: for a Harvard medical student, but just having been around

172
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the sport and just seeing guys go down and practice

173
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and seeing the consistency of a team like the Eagles

174
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: that I know invests a ton of money into trainers, doctors, recoveries,

175
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: all everything regard regarding health. I do think it's random.

176
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: And I know that's like, oh, you're just covering up. No,

177
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I'm just telling you. I don't

178
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: think there's any correlation with them screwing this up because

179
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: it happened all over the league. Now does it happen

180
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: more to them, yes, uh does it probably drive them crazy,

181
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: of course, But I do think there's some randomness to it,

182
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: and the one guy who's kind of been healthy in

183
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: all this, which is kind of weird, is Carson. He

184
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: played sixteen games last year, obviously got the concussion in

185
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: the playoffs, played all the games this year, and if

186
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: he got hurt, I mean, it wouldn't win a game.

187
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: They wouldn't sniffle win. So I just think sometimes when

188
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: you take a deep breath of the Wentz, look away

189
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: when he throws the crazy bone head play, but acknowledge this, dude,

190
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: if they could ever get the right pieces around him

191
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: just on the field, I think they have some of

192
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: them on their team, you'd be a star, or at

193
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: least have the chance to be a store because right

194
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: now this he's still having game winners. I get it

195
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: against the Giants, but let's just pump the brakes a

196
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: little bit on ones into the Giants. I was really

197
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: hard on Joe Judge during training camp because I think

198
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: sometimes when you do collegiate things in the pros, I

199
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: I think it's dumb. Now, there are elements to the

200
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: sport of football that it's it is a kid's game,

201
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: So there are parts of like screaming in a locker

202
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: room and just doing things that will always translate. But

203
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: when I saw that he made the coaches run. I

204
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: was like, what are you doing now? Full disclosure. I

205
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: met him at the combine through a mutual fan friend.

206
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: I went up and I know people that know him

207
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: love him, really impressed by him. I was getting a

208
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: little stationary bike ride before the game, and Charissa Thompson

209
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: did to sit down with him. He is really impressive.

210
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: There is no disputing that Joe Judge is an impressive individual.

211
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: I'll get might give him a pass for the coaches

212
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: running because since the Niner game they played the Rams.

213
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: Touff lost that game seventeen to nineteen or seventeen to nine,

214
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: but that game was really close going into the fourth quarter.

215
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: Cowboy game thirty seven to thirty four. Right in that game.

216
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: Last week Washington won at twenty and nineteen, and then

217
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: today it took a Wentz basically walk off touchdown to

218
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: beat him. The last four games, this guy's team has

219
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: played their ass off for Joe Judge. When I watched

220
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: Joe Judge's team, I think they don't have much talent.

221
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: I actually kind of like Daniel Jones. Sometimes I hate

222
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: him and then sometimes like you know what he is.

223
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: He reminds me of like pre Harborough Alex Smith. You

224
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: see some talent, you see the athleticism, and I know

225
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: he tripped tonight, but there's a lot work with their

226
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of offensive coaches would love to

227
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: work with him, you know, I think he has some

228
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: like Jared Goff, he's a way better athlete like you

229
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: don't think he'd work in like Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVeigh,

230
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: what the Packers do, like what the Titans do. If

231
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: he was in the right situation. I'm not saying he

232
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: would be like Wins. He doesn't have the physical he

233
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great arm, but he but he's got

234
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: some talent. He's pretty accurate when he's in rhythm. Fumbles

235
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: the ball a lot, but he also gets hit a

236
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: lot because of offensive line sucks. I'm not out on

237
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I'm not out on Joe Judge either. I

238
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: I have been impressed. His roster stinks. Dave Gettleman deserves

239
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: to be fired yesterday. One of the worst general managers

240
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. I mean, just atrocious what they're getting

241
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: out of this team, the just the urgency that they

242
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: consistently play with. They've been really physical on defense and

243
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: they don't really have that much talent on defense. I mean,

244
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: they don't have a great pass rusher. The DBS are

245
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: playing well, Blake Martinez makes a ten and plays se

246
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley's out for the year, and they're they're actually

247
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: functionable on offense with Gilman and Devonte Freeman. And you know,

248
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: if Evan Ingram could catch Sterling Shepard golden tape, like,

249
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: they're not terrible. They're not terrible. Now, the overall the

250
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: game was kind of a terrible watch. But I will

251
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: tip my hat to Joe Judge and just this. I

252
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: thought the team could go in the tank early. They

253
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: could be like a winless team and they're only gonna

254
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: win three or four games, But they're gonna be one

255
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: of those four win teams. Are gonna cover a ton

256
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: of spreads there. You're gonna have to, you know, especially

257
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: in that division, that they'll they'll win another divisional game.

258
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they could beat the Cowboys or the Eagles

259
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: for sure. At the second time they play, they could

260
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: sweep Washington. But I I give that guy in my respect,

261
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: I might have been I might have been a little

262
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: harsh because just I've watched a lot of the Giants.

263
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: I don't know why the last you know, month, and uh,

264
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: they really have not flinched and they fought hard for

265
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: the coach, And to me, that's something I watched with

266
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: a really terrible team. If your team stinks, really the

267
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: only thing I can judge you on is do you

268
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: play really hard? Because you're not gonna score that many points,

269
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win many games, You're not gonna make

270
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: that many sweet plays. It's just are you battling your

271
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: ass off? And when I watched the Giants, I fully

272
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: believe they're they're giving everything humanly possible. The eleven guys

273
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: that don't have that much talent relative to most of

274
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: the league are trying as hard as they can. And

275
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: that's really all I could ask for the first year

276
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: coach who inherited this roster built by one of the

277
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: dumbest gms we've ever seen, he can only do so much.

278
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: So I've been impressed with Joe Judge. I really have. Okay,

279
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: let's get into uh one of the big stories of

280
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: the week, and one one of the cool parts about

281
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: doing this at the end of the week is you know,

282
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: we get some good, meaty stuff happens Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday,

283
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: even beside the Monday night in the Thursday night game

284
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: that we get to react to, and the big news

285
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: probably you know, one of the biggest I would say

286
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: announcements so far or this this season, non like Corona,

287
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: has been that Ryan Fitzpatrick has been benched and Tua

288
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Tongua Beloa. I don't even know if I said that right.

289
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: He's called two a time to a start the starting

290
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Miami Dolphins moving forward. And I want

291
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: to dive into a couple of things. One Ryan Fitzpatrick. Listen,

292
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: we all think he's a really smart guy. He went

293
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: to Harvard, highest Wonderlick score I think in the history

294
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: of the league. Uh, he's I think a really high

295
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: character guy. People like being around him. Not the most

296
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: talented guy. Really an incredible story about perseverance. Uh, just

297
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: where effort, brains and kind of just guts overcomes talent

298
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: because he's not the most talented guy. And he's been

299
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: the league, what I mean almost fifteen years. But he

300
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: made some comments that we're I mean, just wrong. He

301
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: used an analogy that said, you know, when he was

302
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: told and I think he the way he found out

303
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: which probably is the way a lot of people find

304
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: out now in professional sports is someone told them. I

305
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: think his kid told him, because it gets tweeted out

306
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: and it goes viral fast, sometimes before the team can

307
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: tell you that. I think his kid told him. And

308
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: he said when he met with the media this week

309
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: because they're in a bye week, because the first thing

310
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: I saw when TOA was named the starters, Like, who

311
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the hell are they planned? And then I'm like, oh,

312
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: they're playing the bye and it's not the New York Jets.

313
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: They're actually on a bye week, so no game, which

314
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: kind of sucks. I would have like to see two

315
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: A play this weekend. But Fitzpatrick claimed he's like, unlike

316
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs, He's like, it's the equivalent of

317
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: being told you're fired, Yet you have to go spend

318
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: five or six hours with the human you were fired

319
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: for that being to A And I said, Uh, I

320
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: pumped the brakes on that analogy, because it's just wrong.

321
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: You were not fired when when you're fired, I've bent

322
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: that's happened to me actually multiple times. Uh. Depending on

323
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: your contract, you stopped getting paid, so being fired means

324
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: you no longer get paid. I'd imagine anyone here that's

325
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: ever been fired from a job knows the money stops,

326
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: meaning you have to go get a new job or

327
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: a new source of income. Ryan Fitzpatrick was not fired.

328
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: He was demoted, something that happens all the time in

329
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: the private sector. How many people listening to this podcast

330
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: have been either demoted, like your role at your company

331
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: was diminished, or you've been on the flip side of that,

332
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: you've taken over for a guy. I'm gonna assume we've

333
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: got a lot of smart listeners. You guys come from Colin.

334
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: This is a lot of guys have been on the

335
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: two side where you're jumping the guy. Welcome to America, buddy, Like,

336
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: you did not get fired, you were demoted. But let's

337
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: look at why he was demoted. Because I watched him

338
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: very closely two weeks ago when he came out and

339
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: played the Niners. He was awesome, and I know they've

340
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: won two games in their own they're three and three.

341
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: But he was demoted for a guy. I googled it

342
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: today before I was writing down, Like, what do I

343
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: want to talk about in regards to this topic. How

344
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: much does Tah's contract when he was drafted fifth overall.

345
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: We often say the guy was drafted really high, and

346
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: the biggest reason that those guys typically get thrust into

347
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: action sooner than later is because of their draft pick.

348
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: But not just because of the draft pick, but because

349
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: of the contract that comes with the draft pick. If

350
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: you were drafted number five overall in the two thousand

351
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty NFL draft, like to a Tonga Vloa, you received

352
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: a four year, guaranteed thirty million dollar contract. If we

353
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: went best case in the fifth year option, that contract

354
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: is gonna look probably like a lot of I mean,

355
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars. Who knows what that fifth year

356
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: would be all these years out at the quarterback position.

357
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: I think it's the average like the top eight or

358
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: top ten guys at your position, So that fifth year

359
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: option would be enormous. But typically if two was good,

360
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: they would extend him before. But that's a relevant I

361
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: know for a fact the Miami Dolphins oh to a

362
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars Ryan Fitzpatrick two years ago signed an

363
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: eleven million dollar contract for two seasons. So Ryan, and

364
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: you've been in this league long enough, just like anyone

365
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: in any of the businesses you work in, and I've

366
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: been there. Like, for example, in the radio business, even

367
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: when I worked in the NFL, when we'd hire a

368
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: big exact, they are given more to do when we

369
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: bring a guy in that came from another team that

370
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: was a former GM. If I worked in radio and

371
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: we were you know, the moment the radio station that

372
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: I worked for got the Raiders, got the Warriors, we

373
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: started doing a lot for them. Like part of acquiring

374
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: too and paying them all this money was to not

375
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: only play him. And you know, if you've been listening

376
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: to me long enough, you know I think it's kind

377
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: of crazy. I would have played him immediately given that

378
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: he was healthy, and clearly he was because he dressed

379
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: every game. But Ryan, you did not get fired. You

380
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: got moded for a guy that they just drafted fifth

381
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: overall and are paying thirty million dollars over the next

382
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: four years. And here's the other kind of elephant in

383
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: the room. We've already seen the other two quarterbacks in

384
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: the draft. Now, they didn't have the ability to draft

385
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. So regardless how good Joe Burrow does, I

386
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: can't hold that over the Miami Dolphins head because they

387
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: drafted fifth and Joe Burrow went one but I do

388
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: think the other guy in Justin Herbert, who are going

389
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: to be compared moving forward, are damn This guy's already

390
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: got four games under his belt. Now, granted he hasn't

391
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: won a game, but I think we'd all agree and listen.

392
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm some Charger fan. Now, I'm a Justin

393
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Herbert fan. I'm a Pack twelve guy, but I just

394
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for big arm athletic quarterbacks. And I

395
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear the guy's got a chance to

396
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: be a really, really good player. So I wonder, and

397
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is why they did it, but

398
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: it has to be like Herbert's making all these plays

399
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: against big time teams on Monday Night football against Tampa Bay,

400
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: can we see what our guy has be because yes,

401
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: he had a major hip injury, but he's been our

402
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: backup quarterback and he played. He got a couple of snaps.

403
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: I think he completed two balls last week against the Jets.

404
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Throw him in the action. Yes, Fits, we know you

405
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: have done a uh commendable job as our starting quarterback.

406
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: And I think if you go back to the last

407
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: I think they won three of their last five games

408
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: and they've won three of six this year, so they've

409
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: won six of their last eleven games with him at quarterback.

410
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: He's done a really good job. We paid you eleven

411
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: million dollars because you're a high level bridge quarterback and

412
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: you're an impressive human and we think you will be

413
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: good for Tuah, whether you start or whether you're back up.

414
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: You're not getting fired. We're not cutting you. We we

415
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't even have people called and wanted to trade for

416
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: you for like the Cowboys wanted to get you for

417
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: like a fourth round pick. We'd say, no, we value

418
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: you here. You will still get paid. But the moment

419
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: we drafted this guy fifth overall, we all knew, you

420
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: know what road this was headed down. It's I think

421
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that I'm sitting here recording this

422
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: on October twenty second and TWA hasn't played a game yet.

423
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: I'd say that's regardless of you beat Yeah, okay, you've

424
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: upset the Niners. WOUI. No, you don't get any credit

425
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: for beating the Jets. You're an eight point favorite, So

426
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you killed him. They suck time for

427
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Tuah and Uh. On the flip side, just of Tuah

428
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. The thing that I keep coming back

429
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: to the biggest question mark I have because I have

430
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: a hard time closing my eyes and envisioning him make

431
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: the splash plays like Herbert has made. Now Herbert has

432
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: more talent to deal with, so it's gonna be a

433
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: little harder to judge TA in the immediate given that

434
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: their talents not as great around him. My question is

435
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: just durability, and sometimes I forget, like I try to

436
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: put myself back and the years of being even at

437
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: when I was at Fresno State in recruiting meetings and

438
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: in personnel meetings to the NFL personnel meetings. So I

439
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: got it. I've been in one of those meetings, you know,

440
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: when I was on the inside. You know, I still

441
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: talk to all my friends, but it's different when you're

442
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: in the meetings and you know, and truly talking about

443
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: the number one thing we talked about all the time,

444
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: way more in the NFL than in college, because once again,

445
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: at your roster, you're kind of stuck with him. And

446
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: really most high school kids, you know, maybe you recruit

447
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: a guy that's been injured, but for the most part,

448
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: they're they're pretty if you're a Division one and definitely

449
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: like a borderline Power five player. Uh, you've probably been

450
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: relatively healthy in high school. Now there are exceptions, for sure,

451
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: but in my time a frienden State, most of the

452
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: guys we recruited played every game in high school, maybe

453
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: a tweaked ankle here or there. But in NFL draft rooms,

454
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: the number one thing we talked about, besides just the

455
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: actual player. I think as a player in a vacuum

456
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: two is really good. But can they stay healthy? Is

457
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: this guy physical? Like his physical stature gonna be enough

458
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: to just last sixteen games for the next let's just

459
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: say four or five years, and that would be my

460
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: number one quote. I don't know, because just in terms

461
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: of reading defenses, he's better than Herbert. In terms of accuracy,

462
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: at least coming out of college, way better than Herbert.

463
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: Just a more natural accurate thrower. But Herberts already improved.

464
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: His deep ball is much better than I remember it being.

465
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: And part of that might just be he didn't have

466
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: that much talent around him in Oregon, which is ironic

467
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: because Oregon the majority of my life has always had

468
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: really good running backs, really good tight ends, and at

469
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: least functional wide receivers. That was not the case the

470
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: last couple of years for them. I don't think he

471
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: played with any guys that like top picks on offense,

472
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: which is crazy for that program to On the flip side,

473
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: I think we all know, right, Judy Rugs, Studs, uh

474
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: Davante Smith might be better than both of them. Waddle

475
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: could too. I mean, you're talking about four wide receivers

476
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: that probably you know, these two guys are gonna go

477
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen. Two. That's four top fifteen wide receivers.

478
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm not uh, I mean, I kind of am a

479
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: draft historian, but I'm pretty sure without looking it up

480
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: or googling it, that's gotta be an NFL record. If

481
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: that happens, we'll see where these guys get drafted. But right,

482
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: I think most of us that have watched Waddle end

483
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: of ande go, yeah, the guy's probably going on the

484
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: top fift team. Right, So four guys in the top

485
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: fIF team, that's pretty nuts. And to us this to

486
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: the team he's coming to, I mean, Gasecki's solid tight end.

487
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: De Bunte Parker's actually really kind of resurrected his career.

488
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: But at ain't Judy Waddle Rugs and Smith, I'll promise

489
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: you that much. So I'm just fascinated to see if

490
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: he's got to just take the hits and over and

491
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: overtake the hits and that that, to me is the

492
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: question mark because if you can stay uh stay healthy.

493
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: I think you know the comp that I always used

494
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield that he was Drew Brees. It's proble

495
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: I was off. It's probably to you know, because their

496
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: games are all similar, right, accurate, smaller guys. But as

497
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: we've seen, maturity with Baker, decision making with Baker, like

498
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: that's never been a question mark with to Saban loves him,

499
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: the program loves him. Everyone loves the guy. You know why.

500
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: He's not a screw around, not a party guy. Uh,

501
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: super focused, super hard working, so just gonna be and

502
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: he's accurate. He doesn't think he's like some great athlete

503
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: running away sometimes he I guess incology he had a

504
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: little hero ball. You would imagine that will change a

505
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: little bit after these devastating injuries. But accuracy, like he's

506
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: gotta have to play in that mold to be really successful.

507
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: And the key is to like throw the ball away

508
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: and get down when you're gonna get hit and avoid

509
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: the hits because durability right now, him staying healthy is

510
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: has got to be the number one thing. The Dolphins

511
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: are just are just worried about big picture but but

512
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: ultimately fits has no reason to be shocked. And uh,

513
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: I think it's just football fans. It's we gotta wait

514
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: a week, but it's exciting to see two a time

515
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: is actually going down. I say it all the time

516
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: around the draft. It's my favorite part about the draft

517
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: is it's really more of an economic exercise than it

518
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: is just about like picking players. The draft is all

519
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: about value, and I think player acquisition in general is

520
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: all ab out value. And I think about this all

521
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: the time when when I'm buying stocks, whenever I'm just

522
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: looking at something, or you just read an article about

523
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: this guy sold his business for fifty million dollars, or

524
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: this guy's sold his house for three million dollars. Well,

525
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: if the guy bought his house that he sold for

526
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: three million dollars for eight hundred thousand dollars, he didn't

527
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: make the profit in selling it for three million dollars.

528
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: He made the profit the day he bought it for

529
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars. You make the profit in what

530
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: you acquire the asset for, and I try to always

531
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: think about that, whether it's football stuff, whether it's business stuff,

532
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: regardless of what it is. I think that Vegas Dave

533
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: guy who sold the Mike Trout rookie card, I think

534
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: he bought it for you know, eight hundred thousand dollars

535
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars, sold it for four million dollars. He

536
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: made the profit in what he bought it for, which

537
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: is I'm not into card selling, but when I saw

538
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: that he sold a Mike troyd rookie card for four

539
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: million dollars, was like, holy shit, that's a that's a

540
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: market I know nothing about, but that's it's pretty crazy

541
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: return on investment. And the key I give the Ravens

542
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. And I think the best teams

543
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: in free agency and the draft do this consistently. Their

544
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: patient and I would imagine anyone listening the best business

545
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: people you know, uh, you know a lot of people

546
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: that run their own companies, uh CEOs of companies. What

547
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be big, fortunately, I'm just talking

548
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: about successful business people. They all, I'd say most of

549
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: them are really patient, not that they're not aggressive when

550
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: it's time to strike, but they're never afraid to like

551
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: walk away. And you always heard that growing up. And

552
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: then you know, you your first couple of job offers

553
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: are like, we'll pay you a fifty thou dollars, like

554
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm in you know. Uh, you know, when you really want,

555
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: like your first car, You're like, I'll take it, you know,

556
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: and then you realize, just take a deep breath. You

557
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: know that there's there's more options. And as you age,

558
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: and I've seen it with myself, like in my twenties,

559
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: zero patients. In my thirties definitely, you know, thirty six

560
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: now I'm getting a little old. It's just it's easier

561
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: to see the bigger picture with stuff and and I'm

562
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: talking little stuff, you know. I mean, my biggest acquisitions

563
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: have been like a condo in the car, you know.

564
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: I've never you know, traded a first round pick for

565
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: a player, but I've seen it, and I've seen how

566
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Howie and those guys operate in Philly, and they always

567
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: did a good job of just not forcing things. And

568
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: Belichick is a master of this now. I I also

569
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: believe there are times when you trade a couple of

570
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: first round picks to get Khalil Mack. You know, I

571
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: thought what John Schneider did trading those picks for Jamal

572
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Adams was really bold. But I also understand it, like

573
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: they're in the mold of trying to win Super Bowl

574
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: in these next couple of years with the Pika Russell Wilson.

575
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: But the Ravens, who are kind of in this weird spot,

576
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: like their team was stacked. They got Lamar and a

577
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: rookie contract there. They knew coming into the season they

578
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: were gonna be a double digit win team that they're

579
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: only getting judged now on January. How they play in

580
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, that's all we know. They're gonna kick

581
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: ass in the regular season. We'll see the Steeler games

582
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be are gonna be tight, but like their

583
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: teams loaded, but they can make incremental moves, and clearly

584
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: they were in on Yannick in doc way. The Jaguars

585
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: path as rusher with the Vikings when that trade was

586
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: going down, and ultimately the Vikings got him for a

587
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: second rounder. The Vikings, who I understood making the trade

588
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: even though it was a disastrous move. I equated it

589
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: in twitter of they paid one point two million dollars

590
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: for a one million dollar house. And then the Ravens

591
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: were able to come when they traded a third round

592
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: pick for this guy and buy the house for five

593
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: grand because they were patient and they waited. Now, some

594
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: stuff was out of their control, and that's part of

595
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: I think any of you guys that are listening, no,

596
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: that the part of being patient in business which makes

597
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: it possible is knowing like things that are out of

598
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: your control, Like you never know what's gonna happen a

599
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of the times, like the best case scenario goes

600
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario, and then that stuff becomes available again,

601
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: and the Ravens this guy became available again for a

602
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: third round pick. Well, their third round pick clearly is

603
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: going to be at the end of the third round.

604
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: And if they don't resign this guy, he's gonna get

605
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: huge money on the open market. And what does that mean?

606
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: They would get a pencentry third round pick. So you

607
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: could argue the Ravens are basically giving up a fifth

608
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: round pick, maybe five six seven slots in the in

609
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: the third round to the compensatory round to make this deal.

610
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: It's really not that much. Were the vikings. I've heard

611
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: great things about Rick Spielman. I actually have a lot

612
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: of respect for him. I think he's a really good GM.

613
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: This was a disastrous move for him. He gave up

614
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: a second round pick. It turns out his team sucks.

615
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: That means that pick is going to be in the

616
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: top forty. That's a top forty NFL draft pick. He

617
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: gave a top forty NFL draft pick and received pick,

618
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: let's just hypothetically say eighty nine back. So instead of

619
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: having picked thirty nine, he has picked eighty nine because

620
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: there's not the player anymore. That's a disaster. And the

621
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: Ravens benefited because they took a deep breath, they were patient,

622
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: and they just left things that were out of their

623
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: control take shape take place, and then they pounced. And

624
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: it's just a good life lesson. And it's why the

625
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Ravens listen. I'm gonna bet against them in the playoffs,

626
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: and I maybe turned out to be wrong, right, I'm

627
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 1: just gonna strictly bet against I've seen it two years now,

628
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: I've seen it against the Chiefs. I'm fascinated to watch

629
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: them against the Steelers. Uh, but I'm gonna bet against them.

630
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean they won't win. I would be. I'd

631
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: be really surprised. I don't think they can win the

632
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: a f C actually because unless the Chiefs got knocked

633
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: ou because if they play the chief Chiefs or beating him,

634
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how they look against the Steelers.

635
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: But like I actually saw I'm play the Titans last year,

636
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: they got their ass kicked. The Titans right now are

637
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: really good. But I have never disputed they're a great

638
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: regular season team, and I mean there will be. You know,

639
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a home playoff game, so let's just

640
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: even hypothetically say they win a playoff game. You know,

641
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a step forward for them. But they're trying

642
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl this year and they're trying

643
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: to get over the hump with the Chiefs, and clearly

644
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult for them the way their offense

645
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: operates sometimes when they get down to come back, so

646
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: what's the best way to get after my homes or

647
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: even Tanny Hill rush the pastor rush the pastor And

648
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: adding this guy is a huge move for them. I

649
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: have nothing but respect for the way their front office

650
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: played this and uh, I'm still leary of their playoffs

651
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: success again, I've never argued that the Ravens aren't a

652
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: twelve win team. Hell, if they beat split with the Steelers,

653
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: they might win fourteen games like they did last year.

654
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm not, I'm not arguing that. I just think

655
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: that when you run that kind of rinky dink offense,

656
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: which again it's not rinky dink in the in the

657
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: regular season, it kicks the ship out of people. They

658
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: run circles around the people in the in the regular season.

659
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: It works. In the playoffs, it doesn't. It's just that's

660
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: not that's at this point in time, with the information

661
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: we have, that's not arguable. That's a fact. Now I

662
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: could be proven wrong. It might work. I'll keep betting

663
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: against it. But they got better today. I'll give him that. Okay,

664
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's talk about a college player. And I

665
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: think the guy getting all the hype, and rightfully so,

666
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence. He's kind of the Andrew luck Um.

667
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another guy recent in recent

668
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: memory that was like a no brainer number one overall

669
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: pick going into the season. The probably hasn't been one,

670
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: right because the year Kyler went, we didn't know about Kyler.

671
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: The year Baker went and no one saw that coming.

672
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: Burrow went, no one saw that coming. Um, it's probably

673
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: since like luck that it was just we've been talking

674
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: about this guy for a couple of years. He's gonna

675
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: go number one overall. So Trevor Lawrence is going number

676
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: one overall, but there's another guy that I think has

677
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: a chance this season to solidify himself as the number

678
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: two overall pick. And full disclosure, I didn't watch that

679
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: much Ohio State last year. I mean I watched them

680
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: like they were on TV, but I didn't really watch

681
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I didn't watch him like I have Trevor

682
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: Lawrence over the years like I have to uh Herbert

683
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: the wide receiver's Obama. Like from an NFL perspective, I

684
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: just don't really watch a house state like that typically.

685
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: And I don't have a great fuel for him right now.

686
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean I go on YouTube and looking at strengths

687
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: and weaknesses, and I mean, helly through forty one touchdowns

688
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: last year he had ten rushing touchdowns. The stats are awesome,

689
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: and that that season is talking to people in the

690
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: league like there are still people want to see him

691
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: play this year. He has a lot to gain, which

692
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: is crazy for a guy to finish third in the

693
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. That you know, I think we all consider

694
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: a top ten pick. But I think he can have

695
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: a season and just in terms of his play progressions, accuracy,

696
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: just put it in sharpie, I'm the number two overall

697
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: pick in this draft because the number one thing he's

698
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna have going for him. And I haven't been in

699
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: these draft rooms and knowing the way these guys think,

700
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: I felt like he was the number one leader besides

701
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: like the coaches, you know, Scott Frost, Ryan Day, Harbaugh,

702
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: James Franklin, of just really wanting to come back. I

703
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: don't think any play. Probably pros included felt like they

704
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: wanted to play more than justin fields. And I respect

705
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: the hell out of him for that. Just constantly tweeting,

706
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: constantly doing everything he could with his platform. Now I'm

707
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 1: not saying that that had like some major impact on anything.

708
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it didn't either, but I do think

709
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: he wanted he wanted to play. And one question that

710
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: gets consistently asked in draft rooms to scouts, because you know,

711
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like to get a job

712
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: at Google or some pharmaceutical company or even like Wall Street.

713
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I would imagine this this question comes up, like how

714
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: much do you like selling stocks? Or how much do

715
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: you like coding? At the end of the day, most

716
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: twenty two year olds coming out of college, you know,

717
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: even I guess on the high end, would be making

718
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: like a hunder grand I mean, let's let's be real.

719
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: Most people are gonna make between like fifty and seventy

720
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: five grand starting salary out of college. So you're not

721
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: investing that much in football? Why you do so much

722
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: scouting of the individual when they're a good player, Because,

723
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: like I said about twa, they gave him a four year,

724
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: thirty million dollar contract. You're gonna pay if you draft

725
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: justin fields number two overall probably thirty five million dollars.

726
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: The number one question I'm gonna ask once I value

727
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: his skill, which I'm actually you know, I think he's

728
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I'm actually gonna just assume he has

729
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: a huge season. I know that he loves football. He

730
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: showed me all he wanted to do was play football,

731
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: so that we're not even gonna have to check that box,

732
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: like that box already checked. How much does UH if

733
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: my GM, how much does UH Justin Fields love football.

734
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: Check out his check out his Twitter account. During the pandemic,

735
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: he was all in. So it's just gonna come down

736
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: to his play. And he's on a stack team, on

737
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: a team that any Ohio State fan listening, I'm sure

738
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: would just reading stuff about the program like this is

739
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna be one of their better teams of the last decade.

740
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: And clearly they've had some pretty free, can good teams, right,

741
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a program since Urban showed up

742
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: has basically been Bama right in Clemson like they've been.

743
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: You just think of the last decade, like the three

744
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: best programs have been Bama, Ohio State, Clemson definitely the

745
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: last seven eight years. And you know, who knows, maybe

746
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: Justin Fields could outplay Trevor Lawrence. Maybe he could outplay

747
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: Bama and in the playoffs, those games are gonna really

748
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: really help him. I don't think I would never say

749
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: never that he couldn't jump Trevor Lawrence because maybe he

750
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: just becomes an elite player, you know, just on every

751
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: just in terms of like reading defenses, comebacks. When I

752
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: say comebacks, like leads the team back a couple of times,

753
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, throws for historic amount of touchdowns. Who knows.

754
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: I would never say never. It feels unlikely, but I

755
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: I definitely think he could really get the sharpie pen

756
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: out and write it on the wall on the number

757
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: two overall pick and then also leave a little comment

758
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: on the bottom Jacksonville Jaguars. Don't you dare pick me?

759
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: Because that's what I would say if I was him

760
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: or his parents. No, we are not going to Jacksonville,

761
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: but we are going to be the number two overall pick,

762
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: and we're open for business. Let's go. Okay, let's get

763
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: in three for the money. If I was eight and

764
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: four going into last week, Bears plus one and a

765
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: half winner, nine and four Steelers minus three and a

766
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: half winner, ten and four Eagles plus eight for the

767
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: Ravens winner, that's eleven and four. Where is that now?

768
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: That'd be Yeah, we do redo my math. I was

769
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: eating four one all three. Yeah, I'm not a math major.

770
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: Eleven and four. I also gave away a little sleeper

771
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: pick last week, my fourth one Niners. We're gonna add

772
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: that on. I'm twelve and four. Somehow, I'm losing all

773
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: my bets because I don't even follow my own advice.

774
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: But here we go. Again eleven and four. Technically, if

775
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: you count my niner, little little sprinkle, twelve and four.

776
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: People ask me this all the time, and I I've

777
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: been gambling. I'm thirty six. I've been sneaking into Uh.

778
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: In California, we have these things called Indian casinos. It's

779
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: for some reason they have the market corner. They're only allowed, uh,

780
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: you know, to have They're allowed to have casinos in California.

781
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: No one else can. They're not sports books, only cards.

782
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: So like when I was sixteen seventeen, I used to

783
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: have a fake I D that said I was eighteen,

784
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: and sometimes they wouldn't card you, and I just go

785
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: play blackjacks. I've been gambling, you know, for about twenty years.

786
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: I love the gamble, and I've been sports gambling. My

787
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: first big sports bet was probably like my junior senior

788
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: year in college. Actually want a bunch of money. I've

789
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: told the story before on the the the Eli manning

790
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: team that upset the Patriots, and me and my roommate

791
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: put it combined like three grand, which is equivalent now

792
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: of like three grand, and uh we took I think

793
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: the I think the Giants were like plus twelve and

794
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: a half or plus thirteen. I'll never forget. I watched

795
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: I was house sitting for a friend during Christmas break

796
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. The Giants played that undefeated Patriot team

797
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: and they almost beat him. Randy Moscott this touchdown down

798
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: the down the sideline, and I just remember thinking like,

799
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: this matches up pretty well. And I convinced my roommate Trent,

800
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: we both did it. We both want some money. It

801
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: was sweet, and I've been kind of addicted ever since. Now.

802
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: Addicted would be strong because I I don't gamble like

803
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: I pick and choose like sometimes I'm in the mood

804
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: and other times or not, because you can lose. You know,

805
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm hot right now. But again, I don't even follow

806
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: my own games. I'm betting on all these other crazy games.

807
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm losing, so you know, you gotta be careful. People

808
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: ask me. I think sometimes with the gambling, lingo is

809
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: in the mix, and people like, what does you know?

810
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: I think people don't quite understand when you see a

811
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: team that's like plus seven right and their minus one

812
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: ten is people are gonna listen to me like, John,

813
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: are you really explaining this is remedial? Yeah, Because I

814
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: don't think everyone quite knows. For those of us that

815
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: have been in the gambling world in the vernacular and

816
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, paid some bookies on some some wire transfers

817
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: over the years, we know. But I do think there

818
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of people new to this, and I

819
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: think it's cool to be inclusive with gambling. I'm in

820
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: bet of gambling companies. I want more people to gamble,

821
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: so I'm fine with it. There was once a point

822
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: in time in my life I didn't quite understand if

823
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: you get plus anything. If you're plus ten, you start

824
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: the game up ten points and usually you gotta bet

825
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: hundred and ten you get minus one ten like you

826
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: gotta bet a big so you gotta put ten dollars

827
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: to win a hundred. That's why betting underdogs can be

828
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: really lucrative. One of my second biggest bets of everyone

829
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: is when I went to the Super Bowl UH in

830
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen, the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers.

831
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: I was working in radio at the time. Now I

832
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: remember it was. It was in San Francisco Radio Row,

833
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: and the players were all and I remember seeing so

834
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: many Carolina Panthers. I feel like an insider trader and

835
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: just they were screwing around. Remember Josh Norman came into

836
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: the to the set at Comcast where I was working,

837
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: and he was just like I was like, God, I

838
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: don't think these guys are that focused. Roman Harper I remember,

839
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: had the gray hair and they were all just screwing around.

840
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: And I never saw any of the Broncos. I'm like, God, there,

841
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: they gotta be pretty locked and loaded. And I had

842
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: seen the Bronco team live for several years because I

843
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: had been working doing Raiders pre in post, so I

844
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: knew how good their defense was. And I thought the

845
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: Carolina was good too. But I put a lot of

846
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: money on the Denver Broncos. They were a huge underdog

847
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: in that game. I think it was like four or

848
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: five and a half maybe points, maybe four or four

849
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: and a half five, and it was almost two to

850
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: one odds to better money line. So when you see

851
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: a team is like plus two fifty, that's that basically

852
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: means you just put two point five. So if you've

853
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: bet a hundred, you're gonna win two hundred fifty dollars.

854
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: So if you put a hundred in, you're gonna have

855
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: three fifty in the pot. When it's all said and done.

856
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: I like betting under ducks because I do think there

857
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: are a good value in talented underducks. It's why for

858
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: the World Series I listen. I'm one of the rare millennials.

859
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: I watched a decent amount of baseball, and I think

860
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: the Rays are really good and their bullpen is incredible. Now,

861
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are the best team, by my just in

862
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: terms of baseball, but if you have a good pitching

863
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: in baseball, you have a shot. And the Rays were

864
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: enormous underdogs going into this series. They were like plus

865
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: one seventy, meaning if you bet a hundred dollars, you

866
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: win a hundred seventy. If you bet a thousand dollars,

867
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: you know you'd win seventeen hundred. So I think it's

868
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: pretty good value. And I didn't put any money on

869
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: it because I was like, especially at the first games,

870
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: like damn Mookie. But then you see they bounce right

871
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: back in one second game. I'm telling you that the

872
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: Rays are pretty good underdog play. But this is football podcast,

873
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: so let's talk about three for the money. I'm gonna

874
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: start with the Lions against the Falcons. Clearly, when you

875
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: fire a coach, you always get an inspired effort that

876
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: next week, and the Falcons uh finally got up the

877
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: schneide last week. I think they come back to earth

878
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: and it was crazy to think about is I think

879
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 1: most if you just asked, like, what about the Detroit Lions,

880
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: everyone be like, Oh, they suck? What about the Detroit Lions?

881
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh they suck. What's their record? Like one and one

882
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: in six? They gotta be really awful. They're actually two

883
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: and three coming off a bye. They beat the Falcons,

884
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: They're three and three and in the playoff mix. It's crazy.

885
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: It sounds like they are in the playoff mix. Matt

886
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: Stafford is good. His offensive weapons are good. Now is

887
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: the Lions defense great? No? But I don't think Matt right.

888
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan is just Matt Julio is banged up.

889
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: I just I don't believe in the Falcons at all.

890
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: I think the Lions are great underdog play plus two

891
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: and a half. I'd also sprinkle a little money line

892
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: bills minus twelve and a half. I heard someone say

893
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: this week the Jets have yet to cover a game.

894
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: So not only are they oh in six, they're own

895
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: six against the spread. That means every one of their

896
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: lines plus ten plus fifteen whatever during the week. You know,

897
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: over those six games, they have not covered a game. Now,

898
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what in the NFL record is. I

899
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: do think there's a chance they don't cover one spread

900
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: this week. Now. Flacco is back to the bench, and

901
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: it looks like Sam Donald's gonna play. The Bills are

902
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: coming off probably their worst loss in a in a

903
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: couple of years. I mean, they got just smantled by

904
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at home. They got tossed around on defense.

905
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: Clyde ran it down their throat, Josh Allen was off.

906
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: This is a get right game. I think the Bills

907
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: easily score over thirty points. So if you gotta win

908
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: by thirteen points, how did the Jets score seventeen? I'll

909
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: tell you they don't. This is my favorite game of

910
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: the week. Bills minus twelve and a half forty Niners Patriots.

911
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: I just don't think the Patriots are very good. I

912
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: have nothing but respect for Bill Belichick. I think he's

913
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: the best coach. Ever, his roster just stinks. His roster

914
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: just stinks. They don't have much talent on offense. Who's

915
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: the most talented offensive weapon? Julian Edelman I love Julian Edelman.

916
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 1: I have nothing but admiration respect for he's a champion.

917
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: He's not that good anymore. You know his hands are

918
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: hit or miss a little slower. Uh. Nikil Harry, I'm

919
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: I might have missed on Nickiel Harry. He might just

920
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: not be good defensively. Belichick does a good job as

921
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: long as he can just scheme wise. They don't really

922
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: of the horses on defense they've had in the last

923
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: five or six years. Gilmore still good. You look at

924
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: the forty Niners team, Jimmy's been shitty like that's you

925
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: can't dispute that Jimmy Garoppolo has not been good. They

926
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: have so much more talent than the Patriots, though, and

927
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots just to be in a game, have to

928
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: keep the game in the teens. I would think that

929
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: the Niners can get to points. Plus the Niners are

930
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: under ducks. I don't Cam Newton has not played well

931
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Now in defense he got Corona,

932
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: he missed a game, but really since the game uh

933
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: Week two against Seattle, that Sunday night game. Check his numbers,

934
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: he hasn't been very accurate and I will defend Cam.

935
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: You know on this uh in the sense of his

936
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: white receivers, are they good? Like? It's just the Niners

937
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: can stop the run. I like the forty Niners plus two,

938
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: So I'm going Lions plus two and a half Bills

939
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: minus twelve and a half Niners plus two. I actually

940
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: put fifty bucks on a little Lions forty Niners money

941
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: line part lay. It paid out almost four to one.

942
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,959
Speaker 1: So you know, if you want to get a little bold,

943
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: and I'd like to get a little bold, take a

944
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: little take a couple of underdogs. Okay, let's uh, let's

945
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: bang out a couple of Middlecoff mail bad questions. It's

946
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: getting late, so I'm just gonna do a couple. I

947
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: will get to all these questions. I know. I got

948
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,479
Speaker 1: about fifteen in the hopper over the next seven days,

949
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: So Monday's or Tuesday's podcast, next Friday's podcast, I answer

950
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: a lot manually. If you've left questions, I will get

951
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: to them, I promise. Also, if you have questions at

952
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff Instagram, dm me and I'll answer it here.

953
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: Would you even touch tonight's game? I'd like to see

954
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles win, but with all the injuries on the

955
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: money line for the Giants. Yeah, I'd take the Eagles.

956
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: See nailed that one. Uh No, I I did not

957
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: bet the game. I would not have bet the game

958
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: just based on Yeah, I would not have bet the game.

959
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: So if you would have taken the Giants, you would

960
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: have been feeling pretty good that last drive. What do

961
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: you make the log jam at quarterback that we are

962
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: experience currently, Sure, the old guys will fade out and

963
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: create openings, but I feel like they are more coming

964
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: in than leaving. Feel to me like Donald's and the

965
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: Bakers of the world could be backups. Yeah. I don't

966
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: think it's out of the realm of possibility at all. Uh.

967
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 1: You know, you look at this quarterback class. Trevor Lawrence

968
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a starting quarterback, Justin Field is gonna be

969
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback, the kid oft by us making plays

970
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the the I mean not, we

971
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: can't even watch them. But the North Dakota State Trey

972
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: Lance gonna be a first rounder. Obviously, all the guys

973
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: have been first rounders. Justin Herbert to uh Borrow. Well, yeah,

974
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: it's just it's never been easier to play quarterback, right.

975
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: All the seven on seven leagues, the rules you can't

976
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: hit the quarterback. So I I just think the influx.

977
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: I think how many wide receivers we've seen the last

978
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: five years come in there. You're like, damn, that dude sweet,

979
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: Damn that guy is sweet. And then you turn on

980
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: Alabama You're like, well they got two dudes. You turn

981
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: on Clempson, You're like, they gotta dude. You turn on

982
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: Ohio State, You're like, they gotta dude. I mean, they're

983
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: just dudes everywhere. Quarterbacks, wide receivers. If you're in the

984
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: league right now, you better bust your ass because every

985
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: dudes coming for your spot. You tell it like it is,

986
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: like the podcast. Appreciate it. What's your favorite moment in

987
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: sports that really put your attention on that sport. I

988
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: think for me, it was when Matt Stafford got a

989
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: shoulder broken against the Browns and still tossed the game

990
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: winning touchdown. Wow, that's a good question. I don't know

991
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: if I have one of those. I remember just watching

992
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: NFL films and Ammon Smith telling the story. It was

993
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: either like or ninety three when he played in the

994
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: NFC championship game or a playoff. It might have been

995
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: a playoff, just like the divisional round with a separated shoulder,

996
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: and it was like damn, so it would be something

997
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: like that, some injury guys playing through it. I remember

998
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: being young and Jerry Rice Bryant Young, I remember got

999
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: his leg snapped. Remember Bryant Young on Monday Night football,

1000
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: probably like ninety seven or ninety eight, Lake snapped in

1001
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: half and they put a rod and he came back

1002
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: and he was still good like a year later. I

1003
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: was a big Niner guy growing up, but I just

1004
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: remember like, damn, that guy's career is over and there's

1005
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: like nope. Remember breaking a toe and going into my doctor,

1006
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: who's longtime Raiders doctor, and I was like I was

1007
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: doing like radio at the time, and I'm like, Doc,

1008
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: if if I was the right tackle, could I go

1009
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: this week? And he looked at me, He's like, of course,

1010
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: guys play with that all the time. And I could

1011
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: barely walk. So I I had nothing but respect for

1012
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: the for the pain that these guys endure to play

1013
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: the sport. Broken shoulders, broken elbows, broken fingers, knees hips, feet,

1014
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 1: I mean shit, I mean I get I get sore

1015
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: playing golf. That's why we left football. It's why I

1016
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: think we have the ultimate respect for the game. You know,

1017
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: I think football baseball was America's past time. I think

1018
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: football now represents everything that we see in America. Meritocracy. Uh,

1019
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: you get replaced if you don't get the job done. Uh.

1020
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: It's got a physical anti intellect will element. It encompasses

1021
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: everything mental toughness, physical toughness, gambling. We like to gamble. Uh.

1022
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: We like to just enjoy ourselves. We like to watch

1023
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: physical violence and we always have Uh. But we also

1024
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: like the tactician element from the coaches. It's just the

1025
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: ultimate that there's a reason it's running circles around every

1026
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: The sport's got the most drama. Uh, it's the best. Okay,

1027
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: last question. With the comeback that we've seen from Cam

1028
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: so far, and he has reminded everyone how good he

1029
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: can be, well, pump the brakes a little bit. There

1030
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: are there any other teams that would be interested in

1031
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: signing for the next season. I'm thinking the Browns, possibly

1032
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: the Giants and Jets would be great places for him

1033
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: until they get a franchise quarterback. I think we just

1034
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 1: my take on Cam and I was really impressed early

1035
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: and it's hard for me to judge him when he

1036
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: got coronavirus, and I'll even give him a pass. Last

1037
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: week he didn't even practice. I do think just we

1038
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: just gotta keep an eye on him for the next

1039
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: couple of months. Like is he throwing every game a

1040
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards? I think everyone including myself, like, oh,

1041
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna get you know, eighty million dollars? Like are

1042
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: we sure? Like the last question asked like we've never

1043
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: seen more quarterbacks coming in the league. Why wouldn't you

1044
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: draft a guy? I say it all the time about

1045
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon. If you don't like Jimmy Garoppolo, you don't

1046
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: need to go get Kirk Cousins or Matt Matt Ryan.

1047
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: We don't need their thirty million dollar contracts. If I'm

1048
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: John Lynch, run the Niners. Go draft a guy in

1049
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: the second round. Go find your Russell Wilson, Go find

1050
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: your Dak Prescott. We talk about value all the time

1051
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: on the show, because there's that's the best value. If

1052
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: I find a second or third round quarterback, he's making

1053
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: nine grand and I got him on a contract. I

1054
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: don't want to get one of these older guys, even Cam, Like,

1055
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: are we sure? I just I need to watch him.

1056
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: I need more evidence. And it might be hard with

1057
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: him throwing to Jacoby Myers and Nakil Harry, but throwing

1058
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: for a hundred fifty yards a game doesn't make me

1059
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 1: feel that great. Why why can't I just find Mac

1060
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: Jones from Alabama in the third round? Can he do

1061
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: that for seven thousand dollars instead of paying and someone million?

1062
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: I mean, especially the salary cap is gonna go down?

1063
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: Value value, value value? What changed? Seattle Forever got Russell

1064
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,560
