Bucky Back with you and Buck. We've had 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: some great guests on this show, but I might be 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: more excited about today's guest than anybody else we've ever had. Yeah, 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: really exciting. I mean, like this is funny, right because 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: you end up dating yourself. It's almost like a childhood 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: dream to have a conversation with the guy that you 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: looked up to when you watch games on TV. And 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: so having Hall of Famer Joe Montana, four time Super 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: Bowl Champion, three time Super Bowl MVP on the program 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: is a little surreal, and so it's gonna be fantastic 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: to have a conversation with him about everything um related 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: to winning and creating how standards. Yeah, you're gonna look 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: forward to that conversation with a lot of fun. Also 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: going to UH air a little snippet of a conversation 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: we had with Dave Roberts, who's now World Series UH 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: champion is a player obviously now a World Series Champion 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: is a manager. The Dodgers won the World Series over 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: the Tampa Rays. We got a chance U to visit 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: with him before the season kicked off, and some portions 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: of that interview I think we're really relevant after seeing 23 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: how the Dodgers went on to win the World Seriously, 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna air a little snippet of that interview. But 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: before we get to those buck when we uh, we 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: look at what's going on around the NFL. We've talked 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: about potentially seeing a busy trade season. We're starting to 28 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: see a couple of these things trickle out now, Yeah, 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: we are starting to see a couple of these things 30 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: trickle out. And I think this week, like before the weekend, 31 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: this would be a big time because the COVID protocols 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: make it where guys have to sit out for a while. 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: So if you want to get an immediate return on 34 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: your investment when it comes to the trade, it kind 35 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: of has to happen Thursday or Friday, um to be 36 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: able to get these guys ready to play the following week. 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: And so look, I mean, it's it's it's a unique 38 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: set of circumstances. I do believe that we have a 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: younger generation of general managers who are more willing to 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: trade now than ever, and so I think we'll see 41 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: a lot of movement at the deadline. Unlike previous years 42 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: where everyone would just kind of hold firm. I think 43 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: this year we could see a handful of guys move. Yep. 44 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: You know again, it gets a little bit complicated, um 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: with the onboarding process and how that can take a 46 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: little bit of time. So I'll wait and see what 47 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: happens there. I want to get your thought on one 48 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: other topic here and see if I can find it. 49 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: I've got it written down somewhere. So when we look 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: at what the new England Patriots are doing along the 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: offensive line right now, buck, I found it fascinating. This 52 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: is a team that's got oh here it is, I 53 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: found it. So here's here's the w England Patriots offensive 54 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: line left to right right now you ready, this is 55 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 1: the height height for these guys. Uh, keep in mind 56 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: that it's an eighth of an inch is how you 57 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: do it in scouting. So left tackle six O two six, 58 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: so under six three, left guard six O four five. 59 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: It's good size. Center six oh three one just over 60 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: six three. Right guards six O one five, right tackle 61 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: six O three five. So they only have one offensive 62 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: lineman over six four. Uh, that's starting for them right now. 63 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: So you think about the NFL, which is has long 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: been about length and size along the offensive line being 65 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: highly coveted and maybe you can try and hide one 66 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: or two guys that are quote unquote the efficient. Um, 67 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: this whole offensive line almost across the board is undersized, 68 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: and it's fascinating to me where you're always trying to 69 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: find value. And maybe Bill Belichick saying, hey, maybe there 70 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: are some really good players out there along the offensive line, 71 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: a position that's been depleted at the college level. Maybe 72 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: we've been penalizing some of these shorter guys too much. Yeah, 73 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, at a time when everyone is zigging. The 74 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: Patriots are always zagging. They always are trying to be 75 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: one step ahead of the curve. I do wonder, um, 76 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: when you have some of those undersized linement. I do 77 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: want if you run into challenges, right, Because the guys 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: that we are seeing playing upfront, especially the dominant ones, 79 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: they typically are superheroes at the line. Like when you 80 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: think about some of these guys that are able to 81 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: dominate off the edges, they have size, they have length, 82 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: they have athleticism, they have the ability to wiggle and 83 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: if you are an undersized offensive linement and you don't 84 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: have the necessary length to keep those pass rushers inside 85 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: or outside at bay. It can make for a long 86 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: day for your quarterback. And so I understand maybe trying 87 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: to find value with a different approach to the position. 88 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: But I do wonder if that's a sustainable and even 89 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: an effective model that you can use. Yeah, I mean 90 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: I think they're playing okay. I mean they haven't been 91 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: bad up front. I mean they're their issues have been 92 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: elsewhere with the quarterback and not being able to get 93 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: any separation down the field. But um, I just I 94 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: found it a little bit interesting. We think about forever, right, 95 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: we penalized short quarterbacks. Yeah, you can't do it, and 96 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you okay, all of a sudden, 97 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: Wait a second, Russell Wilis is pretty good, Baker Mayfield 98 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: first pick in the draft, Kyler Murray's playing really well. 99 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: We're seeing kind of like that new era, and I think, 100 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: why haven't we thought about that with some of these 101 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: other positions. Yeah, I wonder if it would be interesting 102 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: over time, right, because DJs, we know, like in the industry, 103 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to the numbers and the metrics, and measurables. 104 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: A lot of those things have been done over ten, fifteen, 105 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: twenty years studies in terms of we always do it, 106 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: and it's influenced and impacted our grading what plays in 107 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: the league and moreover what plays successfully in the league 108 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: over time. A lot of what we're trying to do 109 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: is we're trying to narrow the odds to give ourselves 110 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: the best opportunity to make the right pick or to 111 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: build the right team. And Ron Wolf said this, and 112 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: and it's funny he talks about um when you make 113 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: an exception to the rule, you end up having a 114 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: team full of exceptions. And the great teams have standards 115 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: and they don't really bend on those standards, and they 116 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: may miss out on a player because like that player 117 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: didn't hit a prototypical thing. But more time, like more 118 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: times than not, they hit it right because they've said 119 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: the standard. They know exactly what fits for them and 120 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: what works with their scheme and all the things that 121 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: they're trying to do. And it goes and you have 122 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: to be okay when you're sticking tight to that model 123 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be some guys that slipped through the cracks. 124 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: But you feel like you're giving your team the best 125 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: chance to win by creating an established by creating a 126 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: standard and sticking to that standard. Well, what's so interesting 127 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: to me is that a lot of that standard and 128 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: discussion was with Bill Parcels. Bill Parcels did he he 129 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: would all echo the same thing of Roma. If you 130 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: don't make exceptions, you just don't do it. He will 131 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: not take a short corner. Um, he's not gonna take 132 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: undersized players. He just had these metrics you had to hit. 133 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: And then Bill Belichick had adopted that for the most part. 134 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: You look at New England, they would not draft short corners. Um. 135 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: They were very particular about that. Edge setters had to 136 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: look like William McGinnis, which hard to find, didn't want. 137 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: He didn't want any six ft to edge edge players. 138 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: And now I think as he's getting a little bit 139 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: older here, I think you're seeing Bill belichicks maybe that's 140 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: not always the right approach and making more exceptions than 141 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: he did, you know, earlier in his career with the 142 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: Parcels influence. Yeah, and that that could definitely be something 143 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: we can go back and look at the draft and 144 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: see they have kind of relented on some of those 145 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: things you talked about the edge rusher looking like William McGinnis, 146 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: where we saw them take Josh you cha and winning 147 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: and some of them saying that don't necessarily fit that mode. Yeah. 148 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: The thing about that is when you do do that 149 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: and you kind of deviate outside of your norm, do 150 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: you have the eye to be able to identify the 151 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: exceptions that succeed like that? That that's the thing because um, 152 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: and I think this is a Ravens thing. Um, maybe, 153 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: and being around Azzi and that their crew, they've told 154 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: me you can't go around wrong getting good football players. 155 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: So if you guys a good football player in high 156 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: school and he's a good he's gonna get us. So 157 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: don't get caught up in that. Tell me how they play. 158 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: And if they play well, and they play well all 159 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: the time they dominated high school, college or whatever, more 160 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: likely than not, they're gonna dominate in the pros. And 161 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: so there are two different ways to look at it. 162 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: It is interesting though. Yep. Now it's an interesting discussion there. 163 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to this interview here. Excited about 164 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: this one. Um. He is has has been considered the 165 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: goat for a very long time. Tom Brady has made 166 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: that conversation maybe a little bit muddy over the last 167 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: couple of years, but there is uh uh, there's no 168 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: better person to talk to about culture, about playing the 169 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: quarterback position, uh than this man right here. Here's our 170 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: conversation with Joe Montana al right back. Excited to be 171 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: joined our next guest here, Joe Montana is joining us. 172 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: I could list off all the accolades, but we wouldn't 173 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: have time to be the interview. Uh. They're well known. Joe, 174 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for taking some time with us. 175 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: When when you're with two former scouts, you know, get 176 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: a chance to talk with you. There's a question that 177 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: that's been hanging out there that we have to ask 178 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: Mark Gorsak, Was he really your high school center? And uh, 179 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: because we've been telling us years and be was he 180 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: any good? I mean, that's that's what we really want 181 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: to know. Absolutely, and he was pretty good. All one 182 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: that are good, don't you know that? Oh? Yeah, that's 183 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: the rule. That's the quarterback rule. That's a quarterback rule there. Uh, Joe, 184 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: We've seen so many rookie quarterbacks have success early on 185 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: in their careers. We're seeing it now this year. I 186 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: see it doing the Charge Games with Justin Herbert. We're 187 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna see two of this week. What do you remember 188 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: about your first experience getting out there as a young player. Well, 189 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: let's see the first experience and was against Seattle. Um 190 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: and I think I threw two in seption. Is that 191 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: we're run back for touchdowns, the nerveous guy on the 192 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: second one to run me over on the one yard line. Again, 193 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: not not good memories. Um. Yeah, I mean these guys 194 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: games a little different though. You know you're getting you know, 195 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: receivers off the ball, they getting releases, you know, not 196 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: not knowing that you're not going to take those big hits. 197 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: A little different. Um. But you know, obviously, I think 198 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: the guys who have success are really the guys in 199 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: college who probably we're taught how to play the game 200 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: from the pocket. Even though they're running ability is still 201 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: there and its capability when they need it, they still 202 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: can run the ball. If they they still can run, 203 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, everybody wants to run a little bit of 204 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: that read option, and those guys can still do that. 205 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: But you know, I think one of the services that 206 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: a lot of these coaches do in colleges to these 207 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks is that they don't really teach um how to 208 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: look down the field and understand what's happening. There's anything 209 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: you see the guy up, he's behind the center. And 210 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, they all go like this, 211 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: and they turned the coach and they're telling them with 212 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: those signs what the coverage is, where they should build 213 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, all these things you're being told 214 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: to them instead of and then have an understanding of 215 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: the game. My guess is those guys who are playing 216 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: at those levels right now as young guys, have done 217 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: it in college and and and whether they were taught 218 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: it or somehow they were taught to play the game 219 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: from the pocket first and not you know, from you know, 220 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: you look at a lot of them when you see 221 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: a lot of those games, guys going the receivers in 222 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: in in college, you've seen guys running wide open. And 223 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: when a lot of that started happening originally in the NFL, 224 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: you were seeing the same type of things right there 225 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: the first time. They're all seeing this and then then 226 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: you just can't fool those defensive coordinators for too long. 227 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: They figure out how to get to it. Like for me, 228 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: I always said, if I was if I was on 229 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: the defensive side and make the quarterback run at every time, 230 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: every more time, then get another hit whenever you can listen, 231 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: but make he's not made to run the ball, right, 232 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's not what he does. I mean he 233 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: can do it, but he doesn't train like a running back. 234 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: And he used to taking those hits. And the more 235 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: you get on him is like Bill Walsh used to 236 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: talk like the boxer, right, one guy is getting a 237 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: punch by this much, and by the end of the fight, 238 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: that little bit of the extra hint. By the time 239 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: you get to the end end of that boxing match, 240 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: that guy's worn out. And the same thing with the quarterback. 241 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Now you get a guy that's running the ball down 242 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: all the time you're hitting him, you're hitting him in 243 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: the pocket. It's a little more wear and tearing. It 244 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: comes down to the end of the game. Now you've 245 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: got to make an accurate throw right to him the game. 246 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: You can go back and look at what happened with 247 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: the forty Niners when when they couldn't get the you know, 248 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: they threw it three times down there from the one 249 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: or two yard line when they were in the Super 250 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Bowl and just and run them all. So many times 251 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: by the end of the game, sometimes it gets tough 252 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: down there, so get enough hits in the pocket. But 253 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: now that's that's just my long philosophy. Joe, you're regarded 254 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: as the best of all time, the greatest of all time. 255 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: A lot of it is due to your ability to 256 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: win and be a four time super Bowl champion. Some 257 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: of that is tied directly to the forty nine is 258 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: in the culture that you guys created as the gate 259 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: keeper of the culture as the quarterback. Um, what are 260 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: some of the standards that that you learned or that 261 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: you impressed upon others to get the team to consistently 262 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: play at a high level. Well, I think Bill one 263 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: thing to build he had a strive for. It was 264 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: perfection all the time. He wanted you to be perfect, 265 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: and no one more so than the quarterback. He I mean, 266 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: if you go back and you if you watch old 267 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: footage of whether it was myself, Steve the Berg, myself, 268 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: Steve Young, Steve Bono, there's a lot of Steves in there, 269 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: and then you don't see a lot of guys diving 270 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: for balls or on occasion, very rare was he demanded 271 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: crossing routes twelve inches in front of the numbers. If 272 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: you're run, if your guy's running a hook and he 273 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: or you know something, where he's coming back and looking 274 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: at you, you can see where the defender is. I 275 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: want you to throw the ball to the opposite number 276 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: to tell him to turn that direction so he doesn't 277 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: turn to get hit in the face. And just the 278 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: little things that made a difference to build um and 279 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: you we we we did that on both sides of 280 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, he he demanded that part of 281 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: it in and in return, the things that he did 282 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: for the team that really kind of helped was that 283 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: we were the first team to take pads off. I 284 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: we there for a while, we didn't. We rarely ever 285 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: put on full pads even a training camp. Maybe one 286 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: time for a scrimmage here and there. Most of the 287 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: time we'd have just shoulder pads and and then the 288 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: second practice would be in just shorts and helmets. And 289 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: and he his philosophy was, look, as long as I 290 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: see you're mentally preparing yourself and you're doing the things 291 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: you're supposed to do, we'll keep it this way because 292 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: I want you healthy on Sunday, not on Wednesday. And 293 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: so you know, he would he goes and if I 294 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: don't see it, we'll go put the pads back on 295 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: im for that. And he would do that on occasion 296 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: just to get us and make sure that we knew 297 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: that he would do it. And but in the long 298 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: run it was, you know, his philosophy was, you know, 299 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: why do you want to be mediocre? You know, if 300 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: you strive to be mediocre and you miss, you're not 301 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: gonna be on this team very hot at all. And 302 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: so his thing was that perfection and if you missed 303 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: being perfect, you still can be pretty good. Joe I 304 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: did a project ones with the Ravens. We went back 305 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: and we looked at all the Hall of Fame quarterbacks 306 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: and we're trying to find, you know, what, what's the 307 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: common trait that they possess and all obviously you know, 308 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: all different sizes, arm strength, athletic ability. But the word 309 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: that I came up with just looking at all of 310 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: much just poise, UM, And we think of you, That's 311 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: the first word that comes to mind, was just your poise. 312 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: How would you describe that? Um? What that is? What 313 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: what poise is? UM? I think it's it's concentration and 314 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: it's preparation. Um. You know, one of the things that 315 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: build it's also strived was you know, coming to coming 316 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: to work prepared every day, not Sunday, right, he wants 317 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: to see it every day. And and you know, for us, 318 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: and we're back early on, we never had the little earpieces, 319 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: so we would we had a lot of plays in 320 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: our offense, and we have a hundred and twenties and 321 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: passes in every game plan thirty five plus runs. Every 322 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: one of those had two three formations and you had 323 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: to memorize all and you had to memorize what order 324 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: he wanted to me and because we would get signaled 325 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: just to play and you had to know. And so 326 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: it took a lot of preparation and every day all 327 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: the way, you know, even even all the way till 328 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: Friday night was a big, crazy preparation day for me. 329 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: And you know, it was so funny. We went we 330 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: lost in the championship game to the Redskins, and we 331 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: went to the Pro Bowl and Joe Dodgemond was there 332 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: and the first day Bills coaching the team because that's 333 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: how they all worked back then and now, and he 334 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: puts in thirty five passes in day one. It goes 335 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: goes to me. He goes, I go. He goes to me, Wow, people, 336 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: I can't believe he put in all the past plays. 337 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: And one day I go, are you crazy? Like installed 338 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: tales Saturday? He goes there, He goes, I'm not. I go, 339 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm not even studying. Was nothing that comes to day 340 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: one day once he was like eight or nine, be installed. 341 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: He goes, Man, I don't know how you do all that. 342 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: It's not even I just get used to it after 343 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: a while. Joe Um, I followed you in Kansas City, 344 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: and I want to ask you because we're seeing so 345 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 1: many quarterbacks go from one environment, namely Tom Brady's going 346 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: from one environment where he's been there for twenty years, 347 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: and then he's going to Tampa. And I want to 348 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: pick your brain on how you took everything that you 349 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: learned from San Francisco in terms of the winning way, 350 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: the championship standard, and you go into a new locker room. 351 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: How do you impress upon the new guys who made 352 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: out of sample winning to your level. Hey, this is 353 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: what we need to do to reach the dreams that 354 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: everyone in this room has. Well, I think the way 355 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: the best way to do it is just go in 356 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: and you have to prove. And I think when you 357 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: first go in there, guys are going, oh yeah, here 358 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: he comes. He probably thinks he's this and he's all this, 359 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: and he's all that. But it shows up the practice 360 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: the first time you get there, and what your practice 361 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: and your work ethics like. And I'm sure Tom probably, 362 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, as great as Tom's been and and is, 363 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: he probably had to went through the same kind of 364 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: feeling in that locker room initially until you watching practice 365 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: and I and and that's was Bill's other thing was 366 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: you come, We're practice every day like it's a game, 367 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: and you bring everything and I don't want the ball 368 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: to hit the ground, and you know, and that's I mean, 369 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: that's just was it. He wanted you to make the 370 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: right decisions and you're you're gonna all make mistakes, but 371 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: it's how you bounce back from the mistake. It's the 372 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: teaching of the Like when we went to Kansas City, 373 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: it's you know, I was I was fortunate because Paul 374 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: Hackett was there who had been with us at the 375 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: forty niners and through our our second Super Bowl, and 376 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: so there was a blend of our offense of what 377 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: we've done had done in San Francisco with the blend 378 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: of Marty Schottenheimer's offense. And but it's the little things 379 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: on like helping the wide receivers understand, simple little things 380 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: that it's going to happen. And until they see it happened, 381 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: they don't believe it. And like we will call play 382 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: and it's not what's the backside of a route? We're 383 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: working on another side. It was a play called twenty 384 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: half every and then the real back comes out of 385 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: the back hone, he's gonna We're working on the midt 386 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: side of the field, and the extra siver and in 387 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: the in the back and the tight end, and and 388 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: and the backside receiver hasn't post to agreed. And I said, 389 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: and I would say, okay, I'm just telling you right now, 390 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: because when Jerry Rice got there, everything became post agreed. 391 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: If he moves out of the middle, I don't care 392 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: if this guy's wide open. I'm throwing the ball too. 393 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: It's coming and we are for our first game. I 394 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: don't think the guy realized we're playing in Tampa. That 395 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: had happened, and I let it go and I think 396 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: caught him by surprise, and he dropped it. In the 397 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: end zone or a touchdown, and um, those are the 398 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: little things I think you you work on the most, 399 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: and that makes your offense get just a little bit 400 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: better with how long it takes you to get those 401 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: receivers on the same page. And I think that's what Tom. 402 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure it has gone through the first part of 403 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: the season. You can see it was a little different 404 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: than where he's at right now. And and then then 405 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: you bring in the knucklehead grounk that that was groupers 406 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: that he's got down there, And even as great as 407 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: those receivers are to him, it's still what Tom sees, 408 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: what he expects and what will help them understand that 409 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna get the ball. If you do this, you're 410 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: gonna get the ball against this certain coverage or this 411 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: kind of played by the by the defensive back. This 412 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: is what I expect you to do because you're you 413 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: know what we've our guys had so many adjustments that 414 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: you could almost not cover. I mean, we could run 415 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: a show across and you know it could turn into 416 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: a deep cross, could turn into a stop it's trying 417 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: to stop and a slide. I mean you could you 418 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: could do almost anything. There were so many adjustments off 419 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: of every route that it's really hard to cover, especially 420 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: when you've got guys like it came in when with 421 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: Jerry and John Taylor. John Taylor was Free's feeling bad 422 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 1: for him playing on the other side of Jerry because 423 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: he could have been Jr. Right. Those are the things 424 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: I think that the big as part of the transition 425 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: is getting everybody getting on the same page, especially filling 426 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: the ball. We've been very generous with your time to enjoye. 427 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: How about tell us about this partnership you've got here 428 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: with Notre Dame and with Guinness. Yeah, I mean, things 429 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: been a long time coming. When you look at the 430 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot they have in common with the values 431 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: that they share, the history that they have behind them, Um, 432 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: the things that they're doing in the days these days, 433 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, to try to make the world a better place. Um. 434 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: And the partnership with the NFL, I mean with Notre Dame, 435 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: alumna Um and Guinness is you know, a seven year 436 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: process coming out. And I kind of fit in the 437 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: middle there because I actually fell in love with Guinness 438 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: while I was in Dublin. We were actually over there 439 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: with some horse trainers looking for horses, jumping horses are 440 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: girls were jumping and we're looking to get away from 441 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: the big expensive market over here. One of the trainers 442 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: took me to get a plant after guinness, and first 443 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: off I said, Charlie, where's the beer. You didn't come 444 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: back with it. He goes, oh, no, you had to wait. 445 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: You have to wait for it because it takes some 446 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: time to pour perfectly. And after from that point on, 447 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, I always you always look at it and 448 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: you see it. It looks really dark and heavy, and 449 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: it's it's really it's like light and creamy and and 450 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm totally taken off, taken back by it. And from 451 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: that point on, every day we were there, Charlie, I 452 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: think it's time for a point. Let's go in the 453 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: mix there. And you know, we got commercials coming out, 454 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: and the first one's gonna hit here on the Notre 455 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: Dame Clemson game called wait for It, and it's about 456 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: the anticipation of the beer and then tispe pation of 457 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: some great plays that have happened.

Thank you guys for having us. Well, Buck, 465 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: I thought that was, man, was what a fun conversation 466 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: that every now and then kind of that little kid 467 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: inside of you, uh gets excited. I mean you get 468 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: kind of numb when you're in the jobs we're in. 469 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: We're very blessed, very fortunate. You get to talk to 470 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: a lot of cool people, but uh, it's always a 471 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: little different when you talk to somebody like Joe Montana. 472 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's very different. And I never had the opportunity, 473 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: obviously to play with him, but I stepped into a 474 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: lot of places that were very influenced by people who 475 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: were connected to him. So playing in Green Bay, Mike 476 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: Holmgren was the quarterback coach and offense coordinator for the 477 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Is. He comes over to Green 478 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: Bay takes a lot of the things that he learned 479 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: not only from the forty nine is, but in his 480 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: interactions with Joe Montana and he impresses them upon Brett 481 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: Farve and the other quarterbacks and also is an establishing 482 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: the culture. And one thing that that stood out to 483 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: me that Joe talked about it you talked about the 484 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: ball not hitting the ground, UM, and I just remember 485 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: being in practice in Green Bay and that was the 486 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: expectation that Um, you completed every pass on air seven 487 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: on seven end team, the ball shouldn't hit the ground, 488 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: and that was the standard, and you just kind of 489 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: went about your business knowing that that is what to 490 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: the point where if the ball did hit the ground, 491 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: it seemed like everyone would look around like, Hey, what's 492 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: going on, Like what's what's that about? And so those 493 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: high standards that Joe was talking about, it now makes 494 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: sense to me, like why Coach Hong was such a 495 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: stickler for detail, because he was a stickler for detail. 496 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that was influence and 497 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: impacted by this time with the forty nine, as would 498 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: Bill wash but also watching Joe Montana work each and 499 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, it was it was really interesting. Um. 500 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: In that conversation we talked about poise, because I've always 501 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: used that word. I want to see how he defined it. 502 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: I've never heard a better, more clear definition of poise 503 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: than what he gave, which was the combination of your 504 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: preparation and your concentration. So your preparation to get you 505 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: ready for the moment, your concentration to be able to 506 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: stay in the moment. What a great image of that. 507 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: And it's like, man, you know what, there's a reason 508 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: why you know, you've got a nickname Joe Cool and 509 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: you're so calm. It's not because you're not You're not 510 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: calm in the face of pressure because you have something 511 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: different inside you than everybody else. You're calm inside the 512 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: face of pressure because your preparation has been different than 513 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: everybody else. And I mean, I think that was a 514 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: great image. You know, DJ was funny because he talked 515 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: about preparation on multiple occasions. I'm looking at the notes 516 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: from the conversation. He he talked about preparation and preparation 517 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: and practice and how they went about it and how 518 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: the mental part of it, high expectations, high standards, the 519 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: details on both sides of the ball, and a lot 520 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: of what they talked about doing was bringing game like um, 521 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: energy and focus and attention to practice so they would 522 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: carry that over into games, and I think the common 523 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: denominated between the people and the teams that we see 524 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: are very successful. Uh, practice and preparation is everything. It 525 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: matters a lot how you get ready for games, how 526 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: you get ready for doing whatever it is that you're 527 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: about to take on and Matt is and if you 528 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: put in the time um to prepare and to prepare properly, 529 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: the results end up taking care of themselves. How about 530 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: the difference between the way the position was played when 531 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: he talked about volume versus now and when we've seen 532 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: these rookies get right on the field, right, get right 533 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: on the field and have success. A lot of them 534 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: have success. There is no way on God's green earth 535 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: that if right before the game started you go to 536 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and say you're in and you have to 537 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: have the responsibility that Joe Montana talked about that he 538 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: used to have back then with the amount of volume 539 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: you had to have in your head. Not only that, 540 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 1: it's it's as you've you've played in the system. You 541 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: know the side of just you have to make as 542 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: a receiver and as a quarterback to be able to 543 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: see all those side of just That's not the way 544 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: the games played anymore. I mean in some ways, you 545 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 1: think like as things grow, they build and get more complicated. 546 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: I think in the NFL, and maybe it's a good thing, 547 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: it's actually gone the other way. It's gotten simpler. Yeah, 548 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: it's gotten simpler because, like I think, what happened when 549 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: it came to the slification, you had a lot of 550 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: people that came out from up under their West Coast 551 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: offense tree. Um, they were extensions of wash and I 552 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: would say Shanahan had a different version of it, but 553 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: Homewer and all the different disciples, and what happens DJ 554 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: is everyone adds to it, right. So it's the game 555 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: that we played in elementary where we asked the secret 556 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: and then you pass it on and then everyone adds something. 557 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: So so so now what should be red right twenty 558 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: two scat Hank becomes red right twenty two scat Hank 559 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: x ben Z Banger or whatever. And then the next 560 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: person who runs that adds something. So they try and 561 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: tell everybody. So then it became so verbose that you 562 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: can't remember that by the time, you know, we all 563 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: have short attention. By the time the quarterbacks start saying 564 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: to play to the time of ends you're like, what 565 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: you got? I forgot, where where am I? What am 566 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: I doing? And so I think some of it they 567 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: had to cut it down so guys could play fast, 568 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: because you did have a bunch of young players, particularly 569 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: wide receivers, kind of in a fog, trying to remember 570 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: where do I line up, what do I have, what 571 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: are the adjustments? And so it takes a lot. But yeah, 572 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: we are seeing a very simplified version of football, and 573 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: it's designed to help the quarterback play well, but also 574 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: to help all these perimeter players on the outside understand 575 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: what to do and play fast as well. I'm curious 576 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: because you you played during a time before the before 577 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: the earpiece came in the helmet, right Buck. Yeah, So 578 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 1: so did you guys signal or did you guys shuttle 579 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: shuttle players in what plays or did you guys signal 580 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: everything on the sidelines? You remember, I'm trying to think. 581 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: I guess they had to. They had to signal it 582 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: in non that I'm thinking about it, because those wide 583 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: receivers didn't run in and out. They weren't running to 584 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: play in and that at the pro level, like that's 585 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: more college in high school, Yeah, there's nothing worse than 586 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: being a huddle and the receiver comes in and he 587 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: goes far right. Uh gosh, what was it fun? But 588 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm like the thing there, Yeah, no, I think they were. 589 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: They were signaling those things in. But man, just think 590 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: about how much you had to know DJ like you 591 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: have the quarterback, how much you had to know when 592 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: they're signing those plays in. I will say this there. 593 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: I don't think there were as many formations. Like when 594 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the classic forty nine, 595 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: the forty nine is typically stayed in split backs. They 596 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: lined up and split backs, they line up in slot. 597 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: Maybe they put the third receiver in, but it's still 598 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: split backs. They didn't have over going three or one. 599 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: We're going empty. We're doing all of these different things 600 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: that came later. They didn't have shotguns. They weren't using 601 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: shotgun because Bill wash wasn't a proponent of shotgun because 602 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: it messed it all to the timing of the passing game. 603 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's still a lot of volume. So um, 604 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: I think there's a thing in football where they say 605 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: you cannot for same but different same formation, a bunch 606 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: of different plays or different but same different formations, same 607 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: play and it's just a matter of what school you 608 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: subscribe to, and it's seemed like Bill Wahs subscribe to 609 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: the theory. Hey, we're gonna be in the same stuff. 610 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: We're just gonna do a bunch of different things out 611 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: of it to really challenge the defense. Yeah, it was. 612 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: That was a fun conversation. Any other any other notes 613 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: you took out of the the Interestry Buck? I think 614 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: when you talked about being at the forefront of the 615 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: movement where they took care of the team. I do 616 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: remember minimal pads and DJ even when we talk about 617 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: minimal paths, he talks about four pad days. Um, so 618 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: four past days would consist of going through stretch the 619 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: first five or six periods, and so you got to 620 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: what we call run period, uh and inside the building 621 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: they would call it not on seven. So you do 622 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: the heavy run period where you would have seven offensive 623 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: like players the offensive line to running back to whatever 624 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: you handed off. You're going against the defense, which includes 625 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: the D line, the linebackers, and safeties and you're kind 626 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: of banging up in there. You getting the time into 627 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: the running game down. That is probably the most physical 628 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: part of practice. DJ. They wore blow a whistle. At 629 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: that point, everyone would go to the side, they would 630 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: pop off their show to pads, and they would resume 631 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: the rest of practice in your helmets and just your 632 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: jerseys and your your pants. And so when you think 633 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: about really taking care of your team, that is the 634 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: ultimate when it comes to taking care of your team 635 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: and trusting that they're going to be ready for the 636 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: physicality that takes place on Sunday. But the entire thing 637 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: you heard it, I want you fresh, I want you 638 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: ready to go. I want you to play at a 639 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: million miles an hour um when you have enough opportunity 640 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. And the way that you do 641 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: that is you make sure that your guys are ready 642 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: and you preserve them and preserve their legs by not 643 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: beating them up in practice. The fascinating thing is you 644 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: look at that era, the Cowboys notorious under Jimmy Johnson 645 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: for just banging and and going very physical and practice. 646 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: Now you hear the forty nine is the way you 647 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: just described it. I mean, these are the two teams, 648 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, multiple Super Bowls for each of them, the 649 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: two dominant teams of a decade, doing it completely differently. 650 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: I will say this having played in both both sides 651 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: of the equation. When I was in Kansas City, whenever 652 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: we played a team like the forty nine is are 653 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: like the Packers, we felt like we could beat them up, 654 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: and we felt like our physicality overwhelmed them. I remember 655 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: playing for Green Bay, like getting the Sunday and you 656 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: hadn't hit anybody. The first couple of collisions are like 657 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: a car, right what It takes you a while to adjust. 658 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: So I think you can take that approach if you 659 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: have what I call an older, a mature team that's 660 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: kind of been in some wars. I think otherwise you 661 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: still kind of have to sprinkle in enough physicality to 662 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: really get ready for the game. Yeah, well, I just 663 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: we I wish we had more time to talk to 664 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: him because it was such a fun conversation there with 665 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: Joe Montana. But man again, we take a sheet full 666 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: of notes and be able to use that stuff as 667 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: we go forward. Um, all right, Buck, we have a 668 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: New World Series champ. As much as it pains me, 669 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: I know you enjoyed it. I did not. As a 670 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: Padre fan. Uh you know, And I think I think 671 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: the thing the thing is though, and I'm really surprised 672 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: by you because like you're such You're such a caring 673 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: and kind of consider to guy, and I understand that 674 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: you are a fan and you're a friar faith whatever, 675 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: but I don't understand like, like being a fan of 676 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: the Padres doesn't mean you have to hate everybody else. 677 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't hate everybody. Don't get I don't. I don't 678 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: look the part of one last year that was great, 679 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: that's don't. I don't get their party. It's almost like 680 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: like me as a as a Carolina guy, like I 681 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: don't root against Duke when they're playing. I don't really 682 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: care about that. But I see you like you know 683 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: why you yeah? You yo? I love it. It's funny. 684 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: The only time I get the trolls with the Padres 685 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. You know why you don't you know 686 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: why you don't care about Duke because you live in California, 687 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: if you live, if you live back in Carolina, and 688 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: all your friends, everybody that you see is Duke fans, 689 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: and then they just it's so obnoxious and so arrogant. 690 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: As you know Duke fans are, we agree on that, 691 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: and they would drive you crazy. There are no Duke 692 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,719 Speaker 1: fans out here. I'm surrounded by Dodgers all working with 693 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 1: this Dodger fans. It's a nightmare. Yeah, because I noticed 694 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: after yea, what game was that Game four when you 695 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: just put this smiley face. Oh yeah, when they were 696 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: win the Little League the end of the game, Yeah, 697 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: which was which was so bad. They were so much better. 698 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: Like if you just take the roster, and their roster 699 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: is so much better than Tampa's. They're the best team 700 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: and they probably have been the best team for a 701 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: little while now. Um, but um, you know they they 702 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: got it done. And I give Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts, 703 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: come on the show. We're gonna air a little bit 704 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: of the clip we had him on May when we 705 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a break before the start 706 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: of the season. And uh, he's a great dude, San 707 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: Diego guy. Of course Mark prior their pitching coach, San 708 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: Diego guy. Um, but look he's so I'm happy for Dave. 709 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: I can be happy for Doc Roberts, happy for David Singer, 710 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: our buddy. Um, but the majority of Dodger fans now, 711 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: and it's like you got a two hundred million dollar payroll, 712 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: it's not you guys are a little engine that could 713 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 1: hear like this feel good story. And then the other 714 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: side of it is, oh, we haven't won since nine. 715 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: It's been so it's like we've never won anything the pottery. 716 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: You're not getting any sympathy from me. Give me a break. 717 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: Eighty eight such a long time you want eight? You 718 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 1: won the division eight years in a row, like like you? 719 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, no one cares what we talked about. 720 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: You talked about last week titles, a T shirt, T 721 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: shirts and titles, so no one cares about those those 722 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: difusition T shirts. I'll be honest with you. I say 723 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 1: that with my mouth. But I might get a little 724 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: wild card T shirt for the padres here. It's been 725 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: a while. I might. I'd rock it. I would rock it. 726 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie buck. I would rock it this year. 727 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: Uh all right? Oh, by the way, before we get 728 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: to the Dave Roberts thing, can we I know there's 729 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: a big analytics discussion because they took Blake Snell out 730 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: of that game when he was dealing and rolling, and 731 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: because the analytics say, you don't let it pitt your 732 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: face the lineup the third time through, so they trusted, 733 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: and they trusted that it didn't work out for him. 734 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: To me, I actually thought, Um, the issue wasn't necessarily 735 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: even taking him out, which was bad in and of itself, 736 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: but the issue was who you brought in. You brought 737 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: in a right hander who Mookie Betts has eaten up. 738 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: Right handed pitching go against the lefties, So that doesn't 739 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: make any sense by the numbers, and the guy that 740 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: you run in giving up runs in six straight games. 741 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: Like So that's one of those things where I'm like, 742 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what computer you're using, but that doesn't 743 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: seem to make any sense to me. The other thing 744 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna point out is I think in the 745 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: analytics model, you have to have a model. We talked 746 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: about this in football at the time. Playoff football is 747 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: a little different than regular season football and a baseball 748 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: model for a hundred and sixty two games where you 749 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: beat people with death. Um, I don't. In the postseason, 750 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: you roll with your dudes. Man. You put your best 751 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: guys out there, and you give them your at bats 752 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: to your best players, and you keep your best pictures 753 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: to throw the most pitches they can when they're out there. Yeah, 754 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: And I think that's I think that's the debate in 755 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 1: the discussion that we have even in the football world. 756 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: DJ we've seen this year, we haven't really touched on it, 757 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: but um two point plays, fourth down decisions, when to 758 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: go and where to go, And so you have the 759 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: numbers suggest like, oh, you gotta go for it right now. 760 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: You want to know, you want to know. But then 761 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,479 Speaker 1: there's the old school football mind that's like hold on, man, like, look, 762 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: the first thing you have to do is make sure 763 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: that I don't put myself in a position to lose 764 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: the game. So how can I protect myself where I 765 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: can minimize the odds that we're going to lose based 766 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: off of this decision that we make. And I think 767 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: a lot of times when we're doing the analytics driven 768 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: decisions sometimes that's not a consideration. And it's easy to 769 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 1: do to do that. And I think the best coaches 770 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: are the best people that are you utilizing analytics or whatever. 771 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: They're able to take the numbers while also sprinkling their 772 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: own expertise and try and make the best decision based 773 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: on all of the information, not just completely either your 774 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: gut or what the numbers say. You know, what they needed. 775 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. What they needed. They needed 776 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: Gina Davis. Remember the movie, remember that movie, League of 777 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: their Own. She comes out there, her sister is the picture, right, 778 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: And she comes out there and and and the pitching 779 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: coach goes, what do you think? And she goes, she's 780 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: she's she's battling. She's battling. What do you really think? Yeah, 781 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: she's done. She's got nothing left, like she could stand. 782 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: She's a catcher. It's her own sister. She's called like 783 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 1: she s like they needed to go to the catcher 784 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: and be like, is this guy is he still good? 785 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: We're good here, Yeah, he's great. We're fine. And I 786 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: think sometimes like I do believe sometimes, I mean your eyeballs, 787 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: like the dominance that was being displayed. Sometimes you just 788 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: have to trust, like you know, I mean, I I 789 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: know the numbers say this, but I'm gonna have to 790 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: go with this, Like I feel this based off my 791 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: guy is hot, he's rolling and whatever, and I understand, 792 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: like not want to see three times through, but he 793 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: was dealing and it was almost like they let him 794 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: off the hook. They needed Gina Davis behind the plate. 795 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: If she's catching that game, she she tells him they 796 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: gotta keep them in. That's that's simple. All right, Let's 797 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: get to it. Let's get to this little snippet here. 798 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: This is our conversation with Dave doc Roberts in May 799 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: um talking about the importance. So I actually I think 800 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: you have the question here. I won't I won't tease it. 801 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: Let's just let's roll it. One of the things that 802 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: I've heard about you is because you guys have been 803 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 1: really heavily analytic driven, that you've had to really manage 804 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: the relationship with the players to get them to have 805 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: a complete buy in. Talk about the importance of trust 806 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: and communication when you are trying to make decisions under 807 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 1: in the best inches of the team, but you're dealing 808 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: with players who used to play every day. Well, that's yeah, 809 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: that's that's a constant Uh. I wouldn't say struggle is 810 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: a constant challenge. It's something that I gotta keep front 811 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: of mind. Um. You know, I think the thing is 812 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: is that I have to always remember what it's like 813 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: to be a player. When you're a coach, you have 814 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: to remember that. UM. And secondly, UM, I very all 815 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: the time. I let players know our goal is to 816 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: win baseball games, and winning is uh the most important thing. 817 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: So when you have a lot of good players, you know, 818 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: players want to take of their families, they want to perform, 819 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: they want the opportunity. They always feel that they're the 820 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: best option, which I love and you never want to 821 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: change that. Um. But I do think that to play 822 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: for a champion, there's got to be sacrifice. And I 823 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: think that for us that's something we talk about and 824 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: just given guys opportunities, um, you know when they can, 825 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: when I can, and kind of make guys feel relevant 826 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: and empowered. But it's tough because I think for me, 827 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,439 Speaker 1: as you guys might have heard, I try to touch 828 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: every player every single day. And you know, you see 829 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: I was on a podcast with Pete Caroline Steve Kerr 830 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, and you know Pete Carre, Pete 831 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: Carre's a guy that's going up and down the sidelines, 832 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: patent guys on the butt. And you know, just a 833 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: little something I think that that goes along the way 834 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: when you're a leader of men or women. Um. And 835 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: so just a little bit that that head coach of 836 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: that manager can let him know, Hey, I'm thinking about you. 837 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: I still believe you, I still need you. And that 838 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: little bit keeps guys going. But I think for me, 839 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: it's the consistency of having those conversations. All right, Buck, 840 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: you get a chance to to listen back to that 841 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: conversation seems like a million years ago, right, Uh, chatting 842 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: with with Dave Roberts. But I thought it was important 843 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: what he had to say there, and I think it 844 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 1: showed out just the leadership that he had and being 845 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: able interact with everybody. You know, he he's being great. 846 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: And I think, um, the thing about it is not 847 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: only the managing of the interpersonal relationships with the team 848 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: and making sure that everybody feels like they're important, but 849 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: also the resiliency that he had to get his team 850 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: to display. They I mean, they've come up short so 851 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: many times they've been there, and there's no fast boarding 852 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 1: to get to the next step, which is to win 853 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: the title and so look great perspective and and we 854 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: talked about this before we came on. Uh. Once you 855 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: get the first one down and the way in which 856 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: they were able to do it, potentially it can unlock 857 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: a run that we've seen Yankees have, a run that 858 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: we saw the and then a Braves have because you 859 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: kind of know um and football. We saw the Patriots 860 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: have it. Because once you acquire that knowledge of what 861 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: it takes to win it, well, now the fund can 862 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: begin if everybody is able to kind of keep the 863 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: egos in check and everyone doesn't uh run them up 864 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: trying to think that they're chiefly responsible for the success. 865 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: If you can keep the team together and keep the 866 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: minset right, there's no reason why they can't continue to 867 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 1: go back and always be in the mix, and then 868 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: the conversation each and every year. This is what scares 869 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: me is that I'm thinking of the Chicago Bulls and 870 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of acquiring so much postseason experience with with 871 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: failure right or you know that they couldn't get past 872 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: the Pistons, but they acquired all that experience when they 873 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: were very young. Think about the Dallas Cowboys. They had 874 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: a young, young team and then once they got a 875 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: taste of it, once they figured out they could do it. 876 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: Now you've got the talent and the confidence in the 877 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,479 Speaker 1: experience all coming together. And the Dodgers team is still 878 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: the core of the team is really young, curshots a 879 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: little bit older. Kenley Jansen is about done, but they 880 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: but they have a core that is very young. They 881 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of postseason experience, the struggles to try 882 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: and get through it, couldn't get through it, they break through. 883 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: I'm with you, as much as it pains me to say, 884 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if they ripped off you know, 885 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: three or four here in the next six or seven years. 886 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: It's even a thing. Is And also, like I would 887 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: say this because you're a Padres fan, I think the 888 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: rivalry with the Padres, I think that makes everyone have 889 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: to perk up, like there's not a level of complacently 890 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: complacency that can happen in the n O West because 891 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: the Padres a me and so I think that would 892 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: be an interesting battle, uh, to watch as they go forth, 893 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: as the Padres are trying to close ground and as 894 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are trying to stave off to the challenge. 895 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,760 Speaker 1: I think that's you can make for some very interesting 896 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: baseball wise. Yeah. And by the way, uh, to my 897 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 1: fellow Pottery fans out there, maybe three or listening to 898 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 1: this right now, But the uh, don't be the person 899 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: that's like we lost to the team that won the 900 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: whole thing, Like there's no right, no, that's not that 901 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: you don't get anything for that. That's not that doesn't matter. 902 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: I hate to tell the man, don't you hate that? 903 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: Well that means could have been I'm like, no, you 904 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: lost to him. I mean, I mean it sucks, yet 905 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 1: our starting pitchers were hurt. I get that, but don't 906 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: don't give me the Uh. You know, we lost to them, 907 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: so that makes we're the second best team? Like, no, 908 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: you lost? Um? All right, anything anything else you want 909 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: to add before we jump out of here? Back? No, 910 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: I man, that was good. Man. You talk about having 911 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: a conversation with the ultimate winner and then reflecting back 912 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: on a conversation with the guy who just won the 913 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: World Series. I think it was a fantastic podcast. We 914 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 1: continue to to learn and know more about building the 915 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: right stuff, how to build championship teams and implement at 916 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: the right culture.
