You know, 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: yesterday was the anniversary of your thirty point thirty rebound 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: actually thirty one points thirty one rebounds game. What do 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: you remember most about that? 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: I had just come off a game against the Lakers 30 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 4: against pau Gasol and Andrew Bidom where I didn't score. 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 5: You know, I laid an. 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 4: Egg, so I needed to make my presence known, and 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: you know, it just so happened. That kind of started 34 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 4: the you know, streak of double doubles where you know, 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: I had fifty plus in a row, and I think 36 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 4: that led me into my first All Star Game as well, 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: So that that season was certainly a breakout year for me, 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 4: and I ended up being I believe, most improved at 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 4: the end of that season. 40 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 5: And here we are, season eighteen, so I'm still here. 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 4: I got gray hair, matching the shirt, trying to look 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: as good as you do when you you know, I 43 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: don't know your secret, damn, but withstood the test of 44 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 4: time as well. But a lot of fund memories from 45 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 4: my first six years in Minnesota. In that game in particular, 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 4: is one of the highlights. 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: What player do you think gave you the most of 48 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: your gray hairs? 49 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 4: Defensively going against Dirkowitzki, there was just nothing you could 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 4: do to stop that. And then I would say on 51 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 4: the offensive end, it was probably because I was the 52 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: fifth pick. I was the new guy in Minnesota. You know, 53 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 4: I came into the league. Boston was a superpower in 54 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 4: the East. It was Kevin Garnett. So those two guys 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: gave me a lot of gray hairs. But I also 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 4: believe in that time frame when I came in two 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, for several years, 58 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 4: I mean, it was Zach Randolph, it was Pougasol, it 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 4: was Tim Duncan, it was Blake Griffin, it was LaMarcus Aldridge. 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 5: It was Dirk. 61 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: And that's just the Western Conference and I'm leaving a 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: number of guys out, but at that position, it was Yeah. 63 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 4: It certainly aged me. 64 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: Go back to the NBA Finals when you were with 65 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: the Cavs Game seven, final minute and you get switched 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: off with Steph Curry. 67 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: Sure, I tell everybody all the time that you know, 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: we had gone over that play. I can't tell you 69 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: how many times, and we were switching one through five. 70 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 4: I knew that they were going to call my number up. 71 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: They didn't want Tristan Thompson to switch off. They didn't 72 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: want you know, Lebron, you know, really anybody else, Kyrie 73 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: j R. 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 5: Smith. 75 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 4: They wanted to call me up. And you know I 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 4: was able to switch off on his Steff. I kept 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 4: my feet down and I knew he was going to 78 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 4: try and get to his bag. I knew he was 79 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: going to try and get to, you know, a three 80 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 4: point shot. That year he was unanimous MVP. They were 81 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 4: seventy three and nineteen. 82 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: And your arms are flailing like you're you're karate. 83 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 5: Listen like if you you know, it's like old school when. 84 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: Wilf Ferrell goes up there and does the debate and 85 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: he like fully blacks out. That is exactly what actually 86 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: I tell everybody all the time that Steph gave up 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 4: that ball. He gave it back to Draymond, and what 88 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: I was supposed to actually do was deny the ball 89 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: back to Steph. So in terms of EQ and knowing 90 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 4: the game and the situation and all that was at stake, 91 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: I always told everybody was actually like a you know, 92 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: I kept my feet down, arms were flailing. Like I said, 93 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: I blacked out. You know, I contested a the heavily 94 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: contested shot. So I did my job. But they don't 95 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: realize that it was actually a in some ways a 96 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: bad defensive play in terms of our concepts and what 97 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: we were trying to get done. I was supposed to 98 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 4: deny that ball back. Steph Curry was never supposed to get. 99 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 5: That ball back. 100 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 4: So you know, there's a number of plays in that 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: game that that that stick out to me. Obviously the 102 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: block by Lebron, the shot by Kyrie that put us ahead, 103 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 4: and it was just yeah, I just that was that 104 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 4: was all I could do to to do my part. 105 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: Had a tough series, but the end of the day, 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: people remember that last game, and. 107 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 5: You know that stop was a huge moment in my career. 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: All right, let's clear up something that happened last year. 109 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: There was a headline that was written Kevin Love graciously 110 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: reacts to Dan Patrick's disappointing Cooper Fly comparison. 111 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: Okay, were you so sensitive? 112 00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 6: Man? 113 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: I didn't take any any any type of I didn't 114 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 4: feel any sort of way about that. As you know, 115 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: i've been a friend of the show. I've been i 116 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: mean a friend of yours. I'd like to call your 117 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 4: friend for a long time. 118 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: Did you know what I was trying to say? 119 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 5: Of course? 120 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: Of course, that's where, like you know, things get taken 121 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: out of context, and you know, people, and I mean 122 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 4: in general, people like the common fan that that add 123 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: so much to our game and sports in general, they 124 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: want to take that and make it something that it's not. 125 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 4: So I didn't take any offense to that. I know 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 4: that I've had a damn good career. I feel like 127 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 4: I've left some stuff on the table. But of course, 128 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 4: one hundred percent, I understand what you were saying. But 129 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 4: I've I've seen Cooper play in college when I'm when 130 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 4: they played Miami. I've met with his parents a number 131 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 4: of times. I've seen him up close. I've watched him 132 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 4: since he's been fifteen years old. And you know, I 133 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: know the Maps are having a tough go, but there's. 134 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: So much pressure on him in the post, I'm blaming us, 135 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 2: the media. We won't be satisfied if he made five 136 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: NBA All Star teams and wonted title played on the 137 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: Olympic team. I mean, you're going to be a Hall 138 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: of Famer. I'm blaming the media because we won't be satisfied, right, 139 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: And I think people took it differently. 140 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's true, and that's unfortunately in some 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 5: cases is the world that we live in. 142 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: But it would be better if you were actually mad 143 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: at me. This would be good content, Kevin. 144 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right, And I think that's what people want, right. 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 5: But I'm just listen. 146 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: I'm very comfortable in my career, very comfortable where I'm 147 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: at now, and you know, I hate looking back in 148 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: the rear view, and I think that in some cases 149 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 4: that creates complacency. But no, I knew exactly what you 150 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: were saying, and I think I even said like, and 151 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 4: I believe that and fill that with every ounce of 152 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 4: my being. Like, I've always been a fan of the 153 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: show and will continue to be. There's no hard feelings 154 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: because I know the context in which you said it 155 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: in and what people wanted to get out of it. 156 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: On the other side, But again, like, if you want 157 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 4: me to be pissed off, you know, we could make 158 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: some good headlines here. 159 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: What's your favorite memory of Kobe when you played on 160 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: the Olympic team with him? 161 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 4: Oh man, okay, So best best memory with Kobe was 162 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 4: we had finished a gold medal game. We had beat Spain, 163 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: you know, like a saw Brothers, Ricky Ruby, all those 164 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 4: those great teams that they had had two thousand and eight. 165 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: You know, it was kind of a running it back 166 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 4: in twenty twelve. And so when you know, we're thinking 167 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 4: we're going back to the locker room, we're thinking we're 168 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: doing the champagne shower, and you know, that was I 169 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: hadn't had that moment before, you know, twenty sixteen was 170 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 4: really that first moment where I had felt that type 171 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 4: of you know, the joy of winning and winning big 172 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: at that type of level. So we're walking off and 173 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 4: you know, we do the media after the game. As 174 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: we walk off and are headed to the locker room, 175 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: and they say, mister Brian, mister Love, come with us. 176 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: We're thinking we're doing media and we get drug tested. 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 4: We get drug tested and we have to So we 178 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 4: have a couple people on the staff, I forget exactly 179 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 4: who it was bring us champagne and we just had 180 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: to sit there and I think we probably got about, 181 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: you know, thirty ish, maybe half an hour of just 182 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 4: Kobe and myself talking all things just about life and 183 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 4: kids in career. That was a very special moment for me, 184 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 4: especially all all things considered now with obviously the terrible 185 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 4: tragedy that happened with him. But I look back with 186 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: that as a very fond memory in my basketball life 187 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 4: journey because he was a giant in my eyes and 188 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 4: a lot. 189 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 5: Of people's eyes. And you know, I grew up a fan. 190 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 4: I loved this game of the way that he chased 191 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 4: it as number eight, as number twenty four, and you know, 192 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 4: he certainly holds a special place in my heart in 193 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 4: terms of, you know, my overall basketball career and journey 194 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 4: these last thirty years. 195 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: What was it like to get yelled at by Lebron? 196 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 5: I still get yelled at by Lebron. 197 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: I'll see him for other reasons, of course. But you know, 198 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 4: when I first got to Cleveland's, I had bad habits. 199 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 4: Like I look back, I had bad habits. I didn't 200 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 4: know what it meant to sacrifice. I didn't truly have 201 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 4: my first few years. But in my six years in Minnesota, 202 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 4: like a vet to show me the way and to 203 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: deal with adversity and to understand, you know, what it 204 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 4: meant to be a good pro and also a good teammate. 205 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 5: So I think. 206 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 4: Some of those moments and you know, him yelling at 207 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 4: me and wanting me to be better was you know, 208 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: I would hope because he saw something more in me, 209 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: and also that you know, I was rough around the edges. 210 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: I needed to grow up in a lot of ways. 211 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 4: But I think that took looking in the mirror and 212 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: understanding that things weren't adding up as I would have liked. 213 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 4: And I think the adjustment curve in period was tough 214 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 4: for me that that first year. You know, I went 215 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: from being a guy that was a twenty plus point score, 216 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 4: ten plus rebounds, and you know, I'm all NBA guy, 217 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 4: and you know I had a step and sacrifice and 218 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: you play on the perimeter and let a basketball, you know, 219 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 4: magician and Kyrie getting downhill. You know, I've never seen 220 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 4: it below the rim finisher quite like him, so special 221 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 4: and then a freight train in Lebron do their thing, 222 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 4: and you know it was about spacing for us and 223 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 4: we were we ended up being a machine. We were 224 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: a team that was thrived under chaos. Sure, I think 225 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 4: that's part of what we're talking about. But you know, 226 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 4: certainly those are some of my my my favorite memories 227 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 4: because I do feel like personally a professionally I have 228 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 4: Uh it'll come a come a long way, but it 229 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 4: definitely added to a little bit this this, these grays 230 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 4: here in that silver Fox. 231 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: What are you doing with Shift Naturals? 232 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: So I invested in the company Shift Naturals out of 233 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 4: ben Orgon.

I'd been named an All Star that year, 257 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 4: but even prior in the summertime, there was you know, 258 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 4: things going on within you know, my family and my 259 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 4: extended family, people within arms distance, whether I was going 260 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: through it or they were going through it, or you know, 261 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: we were estranged or not speaking or on bad terms. 262 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 4: And then you know, we we trade Kyrie Irving and 263 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 4: we still have the expectations of you know, if not 264 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 4: making the NBA Finals, then you know, going and winning 265 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: the NBA Finals. 266 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 5: And so our team a lot of new faces, a. 267 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 4: Lot of new parts, and we did not have a 268 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 4: good start to the season. 269 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 5: And I think that that was stuff. 270 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 4: I had broken my hand, you know, I had the 271 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 4: panic attack in November of that year against the Atlanta Hawks, 272 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: and everything kind of led up to All Start, you know, 273 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 4: that year.

Chris, 349 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: let me start with the Eagles with Aj Brown. He 350 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: can be telling us the truth. He can be correct 351 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 2: in his assessment of the offense. It's just the style 352 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: in which he's telling us these things I have a 353 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: problem with. Tell me what is different about the Eagles 354 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 2: this year as opposed to last year, and in particular 355 00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: AJ Brown? 356 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 8: Well, I think you know, last year they got the 357 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 8: running game going to such an extent that it basically 358 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 8: made everything really easy. Right, everything now it didn't even matter. 359 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 8: I mean again, let's not forget there was a seven 360 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 8: or eight week stretch towards the end of the season 361 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 8: where last year in Philadelpia were like, man, can they 362 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 8: throw the ball? Can they really do anything like that? 363 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 8: This is not like it's just coming up out of nowhere. 364 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 7: Again. 365 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 8: It was also like that the year before too, when 366 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 8: they you know, kind of had the meltdown late in 367 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 8: this football season. So this has been a continual, you 368 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 8: know issue with them. They're not extremely creative, right. The 369 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 8: quarterback is not surgical playing within the pocket. 370 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 9: You know. 371 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 8: I don't think the quarterback wants them to do a 372 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 8: whole lot on offense either. 373 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 7: So they're very simple that way. 374 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 8: And I say that because I know that I've been 375 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 8: told by that by people that have played their coach There, been, there, there, 376 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 8: now whatever. 377 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 7: So those are the issues. So yeah, they lack. 378 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 8: A creative schematical attack on a week to week basis 379 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 8: where they basically rely on and when you see Jalen 380 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 8: h Her in the passing game have a good game, what happens. 381 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 8: It's always the same thing, Dan. The team has to 382 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 8: play run defense to such an extent, then now we 383 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 8: can just throw a go ball to AJ Brown or 384 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 8: we throw a slant to Devonte Smith and then they 385 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 8: run and do that. But there's never like, ooh, watch 386 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 8: this systematical destruction they're doing right here. And without the 387 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 8: run game, all those things kind of get put at 388 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 8: the forefront. And we all go, what's going on with 389 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 8: the most talented offense in football? 390 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 3: Why isn't anybody else complaining? 391 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 8: That's a fair question. I get that you've heard the 392 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 8: offensive lineman going, we're predictable. We have people saying the 393 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 8: plays when we're lining up there, right, But at the 394 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 8: same time, too, right, they're wasting one of their biggest 395 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 8: assets in their football team. We've got a guy that's 396 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 8: making thirty two million dollars. It is one of the 397 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 8: best offensive players in the game, and they can't find 398 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 8: a way to let him touch the football. That's kind 399 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 8: of crazy in the twenty twenty five NFL. You know 400 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 8: so again, I don't sit here and condone all the 401 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 8: things he said and done this thing what he just 402 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 8: did on playing online, playing in a game with somebody. 403 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 8: I don't think he said anything crazy there. I didn't 404 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 8: have that much of a problem with it. He just Hey, 405 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 8: we're not good, don't take me on fantasy. We should 406 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 8: be better. Yeah, it's obvious stuff, right, But yes, I 407 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 8: understand your point in airing out their dirty laundry sometimes. 408 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 7: Sure, I got you. 409 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: What should we be watching for with Drake May tonight? 410 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 8: Oh man man, Drake May is. First off, what I 411 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 8: love is the aggressive nature of the offense. Right you're 412 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 8: watching them every week. It's not dink and dunk and 413 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 8: like they're managing Drake May. Is that like they haven't 414 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 8: gone the full Tom Brady offense yet because it's a 415 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 8: hard offense and he's learning it. And I think Vrabel 416 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 8: wants to play a certain way, so it's not just like, hey, 417 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 8: the ball's in your hands, so you know, tear them 418 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 8: up that way. They play a balanced game of football. 419 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 8: They can really run the football, but when they drop 420 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 8: back to pass, they're looking for heavy hitters. And that's 421 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 8: what I love about Drake May. He is just as 422 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 8: poised as can be in the pocket. He's fearless with 423 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 8: people around him, and he is an unreal intermediate deep 424 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 8: ball thrower right now and then when it's not there, 425 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 8: as you know, he's getting to the point like Tampa 426 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 8: Bay last week, Dan they spied him. His running is 427 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 8: getting good enough to wear a third downs. The defensive 428 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 8: coordinator's like, we got to account for him. We got 429 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 8: to have a plan here, so he'll post some problems. 430 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 8: The Jets defense, though, is no slouch. They're one of 431 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 8: the better pass defenses in all football. I don't think 432 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 8: it's just gonna be bombs away play after play. The 433 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 8: problem is, we know the Jets offense stinks, and you 434 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 8: know eventually the dam will break with the Jets all together. 435 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: But with Josh McDaniels, there are they running? Are they 436 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 2: running Tom Brady's offense? Maybe just it's a little watered down. 437 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 8: Exactly they are they are? And you know, I think 438 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 8: the world Josh McDaniels. You know, you can say what 439 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 8: you want about him as a head coach, there's no 440 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 8: denying he's one of the best offensive coordinators in football 441 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 8: for about twenty years straight here, And yeah, I think 442 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 8: it's like it's early years Brady offense right now. That's 443 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 8: what I would say, Dan, Like when they were winning 444 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 8: those first three Super Bowls, they weren't in the shotgun 445 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 8: just Wes Welker Edelman, We're gonna just totally destroy you 446 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 8: that way, right It was a little bit more we're 447 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 8: gonna run the ball, and then we're gonna fake the 448 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 8: run and Tom's gonna sit there and throw a twenty 449 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 8: yard laser down the field for play action passes somebody. 450 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 8: That's kind of the way they're playing, right now, it's 451 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 8: like early two thousands, Patriots, your MVP as of today 452 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 8: is Matthew Stafford. I'm gonna go with Matthew Stafford. Yeah, 453 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 8: I mean again, Drake May in that combo for sure, right, 454 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 8: I mean we'll see where Baker Mayfield. I'm still not 455 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 8: gonna take him out of there, but I think the 456 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 8: top three right now would be Stafford, Drake May and 457 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 8: Jonathan Taylor. For my money, those would be the three 458 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 8: guys i'd look at. Stafford is you know, phenomenal. It's 459 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 8: just phenomenal. And again a lot like Drake May. It's 460 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 8: not like it's a dink and dunk golfense. He drops 461 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 8: back and he's like, where's Pooka? Is he thirty yards 462 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 8: down the field? Oh no, he's not open. Lo Oh, 463 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 8: there's Davante. He's forty yards down the field. Show right. 464 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,239 Speaker 8: I mean that's where he is. Phenomenal that way, and 465 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 8: for being the gun slinger he is and the arm 466 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 8: talent he still has and still to what he's only 467 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 8: thrown two interceptions. Yeah, I'll give him the title right now. 468 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: As we said, and I thought this would be his 469 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: last year. I love them as a team and a 470 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: super Bowl contender. It just came down to Matt's health 471 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: and he's I don't know how many times he's been sacked, 472 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 2: but probably not very many. You've got a great coach, 473 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: you've got a couple of great receivers, and you've got 474 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 2: a running back, you got some playmakers on defense, and 475 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 2: then you got this show down with Seattle. How is 476 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: Seattle making this work kind of in the shadows here, 477 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: Yeah it is. 478 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 8: And I know you don't listen to me like on 479 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 8: a daily basis, and don't expect you to, but Seattle's 480 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 8: one of those teams. For about three weeks, I've gone 481 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 8: on my shows, different shows and gone, They're the team 482 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 8: everybody's sleeping on. Seattle can go to the super Bowl. 483 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 8: They're that good. They literally are that talented. And I 484 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 8: think that their offense and what they do fits Sam 485 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 8: Donald a lot better than what he was in the Minnesota. 486 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 8: So the first thing is they can legitimately run the 487 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 8: ball this year, where like if you don't play run defense, 488 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 8: they will run the ball with success. And then if 489 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 8: we know if you overplay the run. They're one of 490 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 8: the most aggressive passing teams in football too, yards per attempt, 491 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 8: yards per completion you look it up. Sam Darnold's at 492 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 8: the top of the list in that department, and then 493 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 8: you add Rashid Shaheed to it. So they have a 494 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 8: great combination of like, hey, we can run the ball 495 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 8: when you cheat and stop the run. We got some 496 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 8: guys on the outside, even Cooper Cup that can beat 497 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 8: you down the field watch out. And then that Shanahan 498 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 8: play action scheme is so effective off of that. With 499 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 8: Clint Kubiak the other side, I have a man crush 500 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 8: on their defense. Dan, they're front five, they're front four. 501 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 8: I mean, it's one big baller after another. So they 502 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 8: can win the physical battles and their secondary is awesome 503 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 8: on top of that. Not totally healthy yet, but it's 504 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 8: between that and the scheme. Yeah, as I've said a 505 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 8: lot of times this week, like don't be shocked if 506 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 8: we're sitting here Championship Sunday and the Seattle Seahawks are there. 507 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 8: I put them in the same class as the Lions, 508 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 8: the Eagles, and the Rams or the Bucks in the NFC. 509 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 7: The NFC's got some heavy hitters this year, that's for sure. 510 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: Vikings having more of a seller's remorse with Daniel Jones 511 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 2: or Sam Darneld. 512 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 7: That's a good question there. 513 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 8: You know, I think that they made up their mind 514 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 8: they didn't want the Sam Donald thing at the end 515 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 8: of the year, you know, after the Detroit game and 516 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 8: then going into the RAM game, which the Ram game 517 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 8: wasn't Sam Donald's fault. The wild card game, I mean, 518 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 8: they got their butts whooped. In totality, everybody got whooped. 519 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 8: Nobody had a chance on that football game, whoever played quarterback. 520 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 8: But you know, the Daniel Jones things. I had heard 521 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 8: from some people up there and some credible people that 522 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 8: they really like Daniel Jones. And again, as you've heard 523 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 8: me say to you before, the league views Daniel Jones 524 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 8: differently than the fans do. And so yeah, I would 525 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 8: think there's some buyers remorse. But at the same time, 526 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 8: like they they were invested in JJ McCarthy, they trade 527 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 8: it up to get him. They had to do this. 528 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 8: He's a top ten pick or eleven pick whatever. He 529 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 8: is right in that range where you know, they got 530 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 8: to see what they got here. So can he stay 531 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 8: healthy here? He is can't practice yesterday? 532 00:26:59,560 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 7: Right. 533 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 8: There is some talent there, but it's not going to 534 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 8: be like he's going to be able to run the 535 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 8: offense like Sam Darnold did last year or Kirk Cousins 536 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 8: before that. 537 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 7: He's basically a rookie. So there's gonna be a few 538 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 7: bumps in the road as we go forward. 539 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 2: Here feels like people are bailing on Jayden Daniels because 540 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: he got hurt. He did turn in maybe the greatest 541 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: rookie season of quarterbacks ever had. 542 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 8: I'm so sick of the fickle nature of fans right now. 543 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 8: Like trust me, I mean, I have people now be 544 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 8: like Drake may he's better than Jadon Daniels now right. 545 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 7: I mean bo Nick is better than Jayan Daniels now right. 546 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 7: And it's like, no, No, jane Daniels is phenomenal. 547 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 8: This is the only issue you really had about Janean 548 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 8: Daniels that I think I worried about and other teams 549 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 8: worried about, is he's frail. I mean, he can be 550 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 8: painfully skinny looking at in the field of times. So 551 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 8: this is what we all wondered. Could he take the 552 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 8: punishment of the NFL when he ran a little bit 553 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 8: and did that. But still, I mean he's phenomenal and 554 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 8: the class is phenomenal. I mean, come on, Caleb Williams 555 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 8: is going like this too, and he's totally getting reconstructed 556 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 8: as a quarterback robot here right in front of us. 557 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 8: So it's an incredible class right now that I feel 558 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 8: like you really only question right now to this point 559 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 8: is is JJ McCarthy and Michael Pennix and where are 560 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 8: they gonna go? 561 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 7: The talent's there, but it's just been all over the 562 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 7: place so far. 563 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: It feels like it was two months ago, six weeks 564 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: ago people were bailing on Caleb Williams Ben Johnson relationship 565 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: that it wasn't going to work. 566 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, do we give up that quickly? 567 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 7: With? 568 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that talent? And then you bring in Ben Johnson 569 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: who's trying to get him to play the position how 570 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: he envisions it instead of Caleb Bin visions it exactly. 571 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 7: That's a lot. That's a lot, Dan, You're spot on. 572 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 8: I mean, this is the guy that his whole life 573 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 8: in Caleb Williams has been able to drop back and go, uh, 574 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 8: I can just make it happen. I'll just make this 575 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 8: throw or I'll scramble and move and buy some times 576 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 8: and make it happen. And he's got now Ben Johnson 577 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 8: coming into town. And going no, no, no, that's cool. You 578 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 8: might be able to do that, and you know the 579 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 8: Pac ten against some crappy defenses are in the Big 580 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 8: twelve and all that, and you might get away with 581 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 8: it against a few offenses defenses in the NFL. But 582 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 8: as a whole, if you want to win a Super Bowl, 583 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 8: you gotta run an offense. You gotta run an offense. 584 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 8: You can't think you're just gonna make a play in 585 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 8: a big moment. You got to trust the system and 586 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 8: be systematic that way. And he hasn't been that totally yet, 587 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 8: but he's getting there, that's for sure. And his talent 588 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 8: is eye popping. I mean, to me, it's eye popping. 589 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 8: I mean what you see is running. His running is 590 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 8: like a third down running back. He breaks tackles and 591 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 8: breaks ankles and does all that. His arm is arguably 592 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 8: the strongest in football. It's right up there with Josh Allen. Right, 593 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 8: But you know, throwing balls on time, in rhythm in 594 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 8: the pocket and all that, that's still a learning process. 595 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 8: And you explained it right, And Ben Johnson, of course 596 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 8: has a million rules and laws to his offense. That's 597 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 8: a big learning curve. 598 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: Well, I want him to be Jared Goff through the 599 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: first three quarters, then he can be Caleb Williams in 600 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. 601 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 8: That's that's a great way to put it. That's what 602 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 8: he should be. You're exactly right. And I think if 603 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 8: you looked at me and you sat down and watch 604 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 8: film right now of Caleb Williams, you'd go, ah, yeah, 605 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 8: there's a little too much, you know, trying to color 606 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 8: outside the lines in the first three quarters where you 607 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 8: just go, wait, that little slant route or that under 608 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 8: route was open, Let's hit it. Let's be in second 609 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 8: and four, let's just keep going that way. And yeah, 610 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 8: he hasn't totally gotten there yet. 611 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: To your point, Dan, the Giants situation with Jackson Dart, Like, 612 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: I don't know how much this played into the firing 613 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 2: of Brian Dable, but if you're gonna have designed runs 614 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: mm hmm with your quarterback who runs like a running back, 615 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: like I have to protect Jackson Dart from himself. 616 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 7: That crossed my mind. I don't think you're crazy for that. 617 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 7: You know. 618 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 8: There's a little bit of like a thing with the 619 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 8: Giants where I was like, are they just gonna go 620 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 8: all out and ruin the football team just to save 621 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 8: their jobs, right, And that's where I was like, ownership's 622 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 8: got to look at the bigger picture here, right, It's like, 623 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 8: we gotta win this one or I might be get fired. 624 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 8: I'm gonna ruin the rookie quarterbacks career today and run 625 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 8: them up the middle seventy five times, but I want 626 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 8: to win the keep my But he was. 627 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: Knocking on the you know, the blue tent and yes, 628 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: getting Jackson Dart out there. 629 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 7: I went, wow, right, that's right. 630 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: This this was a troubling situation because it really felt 631 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: like Brian dabele knew I can't put Russell Wilson in there. 632 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 7: I'm totally with you. 633 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 8: And then even last week he gets concussed and then 634 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 8: he comes in, plays two plays and then somebody with 635 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 8: some brains went, wait, that guy's brain's not working functionally here, let's. 636 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 7: Get him out of the football game. But yeah, I 637 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 7: would was that was that. 638 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 8: You know a part of my thought at first was 639 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,239 Speaker 8: like many they just they don't trust him, and they 640 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 8: don't feel like he's protecting Jackson Dart. You know, certainly 641 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 8: that crossed my mind, but I think ultimately, you know, 642 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 8: they just they wanted to turn the page on Brian Dayball, 643 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 8: and I don't know if I totally agree with it. 644 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 8: I'll just say from this like, I'm all for the new, 645 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 8: you know, getting a new head coach. I think there's 646 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 8: a part of me though, that goes, wait, you know 647 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 8: Jackson Dart and what he's doing, it is going this way? 648 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 8: Do we want to disrupt that right now? Maybe just 649 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 8: keep that going and then we can fire Dayball after 650 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 8: the year. I think we all knew it was going 651 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 8: that way anyways. It didn't matter, right, So I just 652 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 8: wonder if this disrupts the whole process of Jackson Dart 653 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 8: to a degree. 654 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: Is Jameis Winston goofy on purpose? I think no, he's 655 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: like that naturally. And I say that in a in 656 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: a good way, right. Jameis Winston I think was afraid 657 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 2: for a long time to show his true personality because 658 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: of some of the things that happened in college in 659 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 2: his early career where I think he was like, wait, 660 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: I'm the number one pick. There's a bad reputation out 661 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: of here, so let me be a little bit, you know, 662 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, as far as just a 663 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: straight arrow. But I think he's gotten to a point 664 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: in his life where he's finally like, hey, the hell 665 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: with it, I'm just going to be myself. 666 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 7: And I really love being around him. 667 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 8: He is he is hilarious, he's funny, it's natural. 668 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 3: Do you want as your quarterback? 669 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 8: Not as a starting quarterback? No, but I want him 670 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 8: over Russell Wilson. I think that is no doubt. I'll 671 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 8: take that. I you know again, I don't think Russell 672 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 8: Wilson plays to win games anymore. I think he just 673 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 8: he's not to lose. Jamis is going to play to 674 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 8: win this week. And yeah, he might throw some interceptions, 675 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 8: but he might throw some of the damnest touchdown passes 676 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 8: we've ever seen too, And I'd rather watch that than 677 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 8: russeill either throw a go route or take a sack. 678 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 7: I don't want to see that. 679 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 3: I can't imagine somebody giving Russ another chance. 680 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 7: No, No, does Russ really want another chance? 681 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 8: I mean, I think Russ came to New York because 682 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 8: he wants to live the New York life, and they're 683 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 8: more worried about being. 684 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 7: Famous and all that. 685 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 8: And yes, I mean the days of being a starting 686 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 8: quarterback are certainly over. It's just, yeah, does he want 687 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 8: to take the Joe Flacco route and be a backup 688 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 8: somewhere and maybe revive his career that way. 689 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 3: Good to talk to you.
