1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: The volume. This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: is up, Straight Fiream, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire

3
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: for Thursday, August twenty fourth. We're getting real close, dangerously close,

4
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: if you will, to the start of the NFL season.

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: And we had a piece of news on Wednesday. It

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: broke late while we were on air with the Herd

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: and man, this is news we've been talking about for

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: a while. You could tell this was coming down the pike.

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine Ers announced the backup quarterback

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: this season will be, drum roll please, Sammy Donald. His

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: third team in the league. Sam Donald drafted by the

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Jets of course top five, then was went to Carolina

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: and then San Francisco picked him up. I don't know

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: what march. So we look on like five months. Sam

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Donald has with the forty nine ers for five months

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: and he's now the backup quarterback. That means third string

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: aka inactive most weeks aka on the trade block. Is

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Trey Lance the twenty twenty one number three. Did you

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: go third? I gotta check that real quick. Trey Lance

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: went third overall. Worse yet compounding matters for the Niners,

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: they traded up to get Trey Lance. They identified Trey

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Lance this, oh small school kid, oh Man North Dakota State,

23
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: only played one year. Oh, he's gonna work our offense. Great,

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: they trade up. I'll tell you what it ended up

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: costing them in a sec. They trade up for Trey Lance.

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: He gets a whopping four starts in San fran obviously

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: had the ankle injury last year. He's appeared in eight games,

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: he has throwed five touchdowns. He's now relegated to third string.

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, if that wasn't a spicy

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: enough story from Trey Lance and the Niners, we had

31
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: a report from Diana Russini claiming the forty nine Ers

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: and Vikings. Yes, Vikings had trade talks in the spring

33
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: for Trey Lance. Now, Trey Lance obviously is from Minnesota,

34
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: and we know, and we've talked about this on the pod.

35
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: It's like, we're kind of and again, this is not

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: me getting all excited and try to act like I've

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: got all these sources. I'm not trying to break news.

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: But we hear stuff behind the scenes, whether it's via

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: text at Fox, you just hear stuff. And I had

40
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: heard Vikings make sense and there was some stuff that

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: lined up for Trey Lance, and then you look at oh,

42
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, their head coach is kind of a

43
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: RAMS guy, and the Rams guys are kind of Shanahan guys,

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: and oh, maybe the Treilance could fit interesting well. Apparently,

45
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: according to Diana Rossini, back in March or what they're saying,

46
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: the spring, so it could have been May, the forty

47
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: nine Ers and Vikings talked about a deal for Lance

48
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: so he would then come home to Minnesota. And we

49
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: know Minnesota is not locked in long term on kirk Cousins. Okay,

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: despite last year's thirteen wins, kirk Cousins a great comeback victories,

51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: he was outstanding. It is not automatic that he is

52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback in Minnesota next year. So if you're looking

53
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: for a low cost option while you reboot retool around

54
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: a young, cheap quarterback, Trey Lance ain't a bad option. Now,

55
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure the forty nine ers are saying, hey, we

56
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: got to get something in return, give us a third.

57
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: We need, we need something, And of course the Vikings

58
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: are like, we're not giving you anything. What's the market

59
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: for Trey Lance? If Trey Lance were cut tomorrow, is

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: there a scramble to grab him, and I don't think

61
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: there is a we haven't seen enough b Almost every

62
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: team is set at quarterback. See if he can't work

63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan and he gets beat out by Remember

64
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: he's been in the Shanahan offense for two years and

65
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: four or five months and he loses out to Sam Donald,

66
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: who's been there for four or five months. What does

67
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: that say about Trey Lance? Can he play? We don't know.

68
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: I saw somebody say will Peter King, I think it

69
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: was will Trey Lance be playing football in five years?

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: Will Trey Lance be playing football in three years? And again,

71
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: this is not the knock or denigrate Trey Lance. We

72
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: don't really know what he is. And unfortunately, it doesn't

73
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: look like he's gonna get a chance in sanfran And

74
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: of course, the interesting news is that brock Perty's coming

75
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: off of major surgery. Sam Donald was injured with the Jets,

76
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: was injured in Caroline. Like he has an injury history

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: because he's kind of reckless, scrambling around and running and

78
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco quarterbacks for whatever reason, Jimmy Garoppolo, they've they've

79
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of guys there get injured that could

80
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: just be unlucky. So there's a chance they just say

81
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: we're not giving away Lance, and he's now third string

82
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: and he gets a chance because of injuries, so it's

83
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: not totally over. But psychologically, what do you think this

84
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: does to a young quarterback like Trey Lance. He's got

85
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: to be devastated. Don't know how you bounced back from this.

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: We saw this during the Golden State Warriors playoff run.

87
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: You would see brock perty at games with the forty

88
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: nine players. You see Sam Darnold the games, and you

89
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: didn't really see a lot Trey Lance, and you're just wondering, like,

90
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: is he vibing with the guys? You feel bad on

91
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: some level for Trey Lance. And we have also talked

92
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: about that draft class from twenty twenty one, and again

93
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: this is one of those stories where man twenty twenty one,

94
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Holy hell, how bad was that draft? Let's not forget gosh,

95
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: it pains me to say this, but the New York

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Jets had the number two pick, Trevor Lawrence went won.

97
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: The Jets could have had are you ready? The Jets

98
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: of two could have had Kyle Pitts, who we haven't

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: seen the full repertoire of he's been good, not grat

100
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: he has not a quarterback Jets have could have had

101
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Jalen Waddle, Pennay Sewell offensive lineman obviously could

102
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: have been huge for the Jets since their offensive line

103
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: is struggling. JC Horn's been injured. Quarterback Patrick Tertain is excellent,

104
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Devonte Smith has put up good numbers. Michael Parsons went

105
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: twelve like the quarterbacks in this draft, and this remains

106
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: one of the biggest mysteries in sports. How do you

107
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback? What do you look for? Because there

108
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: is no direct linear Hey, these are the traits that work. Hey,

109
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: these are the numbers. It used to be. Hey, did

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: the guy have thirty plus starts? Did he complete over?

111
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: Was it sixty sixty five percent of his passes? Bill

112
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells had this strategy, but that was a different

113
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: era and a lot of drop back quarterbacks pocket guys.

114
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: The new quarterbacks they're not pocket guys. And you know, again,

115
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: you hope Trey Lance can find some success somewhere. You

116
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: never want to have somebody's career to be over that quickly.

117
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: Like imagine, Trey Lance has been working probably hard at quarterbacks.

118
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Since he's what eleven, ten eleven, you start getting maybe

119
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: the private lessons the quarterback coach put a good ten

120
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: years in from youth, high school, college. You get to

121
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: the league, you've invested, I mean twelve thirteen, maybe fourteen

122
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: years of your life to playing quarterback and football. You

123
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: work to get to the pinnacle of the NFL. And

124
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: Trey Lance gets four starts with the Niners and that's it.

125
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: It just kind of feels awful. Now. Obviously the injury

126
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: was terrible and nobody saw brock Purdy coming, but it's

127
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: just crazy how quickly things can be taken away from you.

128
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: And you know, the opportunity is probably done for Trey

129
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Lance in San Francisco. Again, who knows what happens in

130
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: the preseason game this weekend, week one against the Steelers.

131
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. You know, things happen, but right now

132
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 1: it does not look good at all for Trey Lance.

133
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: And psychologically, you just got to wonder how the guy's doing.

134
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: You know, it is a young kid. He was a

135
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: high draft pick. They traded up for him. Yeah, a

136
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: couple opportunities, not many, and it's like not really happening,

137
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: And I feel bad for Trey Lance, and I do

138
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: hope he bounces back. This will compound matters for John

139
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Lynch in the front office. So I was able to

140
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: find this on social media where it was it. I

141
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: saw it on Instagram. So the Trey Lance trade. San

142
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Francisco gave up a twenty twenty two first, a twenty

143
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: twenty three first, and I believe the twelfth pick in

144
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So Miami was able to I guess,

145
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: trade back to get Jalen Waddle. They then traded that

146
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two first and in the Tyreek Hill deal

147
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: from Kansas City, and then the twenty twenty three first

148
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: they traded to Denver for Bradley Chubb. So Miami didn't

149
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: sit and say, oh, we got all these first round

150
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: draft picks, we could build something nice and special here,

151
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: we could build for the futures. They said, huh uh,

152
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: we got to our guy, we got our coach of McDaniel.

153
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Let's give up future ones and bring in potential stars.

154
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill as a superstar, Bradley Chubb hasn't totally lived

155
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: up to expectation, but it was just your one. And oh,

156
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: by the way, Bradley Tchubb will be reunited with Vic Fongio,

157
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: his defensive coordinator from Denver this season in Miami. So

158
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: things are looking very very up for Miami. And you

159
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: just have to wonder this San Francisco forty nine ers.

160
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to crush John Lynch and I

161
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: have been doing it for a while on here. Obviously,

162
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: trade up and you get a guy who doesn't play, Yeah,

163
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: you're still in the super Bowl window. Niners could go

164
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl this year for all we know.

165
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we'll see and you land brock

166
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: Purty with the dead last pick in the seventh round,

167
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: last pick of the draft. That's a hidden gem. I

168
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: did go back and forth with Coward. If you guys

169
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: didn't see this on the herd, it was one of

170
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: those weird situations where you're like, Okay, I haven't been

171
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: in an NFL draft room, but I can say this

172
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: with certainty. If you trade up and you take someone third,

173
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: that's not the owners saying go get this guy, that's

174
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the GM. Maybe the GM had to go to the

175
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: owner and say, hey, here's my case for why I

176
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: want to trade up and who I want. Certainly that

177
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: could have gone down, But that's the GM, and I'm

178
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: sure in lockstep with Shanahan, this is what we want.

179
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: But ultimately the GM's making that call. How much credit

180
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: can we give John Lynch for that seventh round pick

181
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: of Rock Party. Again, I haven't been in the Niners

182
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: war room. I don't know, but I'm almost certain I

183
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: could say with good certainty I'll give it eighty percent.

184
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: I've talked to enough people who've been in war rooms.

185
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: How's that that Lynch went up to get his guy

186
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: in Trey Lance? So last year, seventh round, last pick

187
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: in the draft, they've gone through a billion guys. Let

188
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: me let me go through exactly how many guys San

189
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Francisco had in that twenty twenty two draft, because it's like, yes,

190
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: the GM controls the draft, but you also have to say, hey,

191
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, hey, coach, hey, lead scout, hey, uh, top scouts,

192
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: you guys, you have to have some input, okay. And

193
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: their first pick was Drake Jackson, outside linebacker, definitely a need.

194
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: Then they picked up a running back, Davis Price. Then

195
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: they got Danny Gray, a receiver, Spencer Buford, Samuel Woomack,

196
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: Nick Little, Kaleia Davis a bunch of guys I've never

197
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: heard of, and then they draft brock Purty seventh And

198
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: I'll put this out there to you the audience. Do

199
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: you believe John Lynch is in that war room waiting.

200
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: Remember he's already made six draft picks. I'm sorry, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

201
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: he's made eight draft picks. And obviously, like hey controls

202
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: the draft is he's the But you let your guys.

203
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: You've got to give them some leeway. They've put in

204
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: all the work. They're pounding the table for certain guys.

205
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they're doing that in the third round, maybe the fifth,

206
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: but when you get to the seventh round, I don't

207
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: think John Lynch is sitting there and saying that's our guy,

208
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: that's who we want. Remember a lot of the guys

209
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: taken in the seventh round history has gone back and

210
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: they've said, I don't want to be drafted. I want

211
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: to be an undrafted free agent so I can go wherever.

212
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: It ain't like brock Purdy had a lot of suitors.

213
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Somebody in the war room has

214
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: to know if Lynch was pounding the table, this is

215
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: the guy we're taken with the dead last pick in

216
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: the draft, or did he say, you know what a scout.

217
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: You've been with us fifteen years, You've had some awesome ones.

218
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: This is your pick. Presented to the room, and scout

219
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: a over here says, this is my guy. I've researched him.

220
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a great bi Loo opportunity. We got Lance.

221
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens with Jimmy g I think Brock

222
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Purty can make a roster. Somebody in that war room

223
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: knows the story. Was John lince a guy? Was he?

224
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: I think it would be fascinating to find that out,

225
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, if things go sideways for perty, which is

226
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: very possible. He started eight games, folks, that's it. Eight games. Like,

227
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: let's be realistic here. I'm not gonna say he's a

228
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. I'm not gonna say he's the starter. I'm

229
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: not saying anything. We can small sample size. They say,

230
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, Okay, Aaron Rodgers got a

231
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: massive body of work. Russell Wilson to the Broncos got

232
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: like Sam Howell, we got nothing. He's a black box.

233
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: We have no idea what is inside Sam Howel? Did

234
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: he look out against the Ravens on Monday Night Football.

235
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: Sure he did, Sure, Sure Monday Night Football in the preseason.

236
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: We Ravens defense stinks. Congrats Sam Howell. But like this

237
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: idea that, like brock Purty is a finished product, folks,

238
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: He's coming off of major surgery on his throwing arm.

239
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not saying there's I'm not saying

240
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: there's a lock that brock perties lights out this where

241
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: do they go ten and seven? And brock Purty's okay,

242
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: then it's back to the drawing board. And then if

243
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: your lynch, you're like, geez, klock is really ticking kittle

244
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: semac Ayuk debo, Like we gotta wrap this up, we gotta,

245
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: we gotta get to the super Bowl. I mean, I know,

246
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: we love to hype mcveig because he won a Super Bowl,

247
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: and we obviously lord Andy Reid for all he's done

248
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick, But Kyle Shanahan, you could argue, is

249
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: the best coach in the NFL without a Super Bowl win.

250
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: He was eight minutes away with the Niners and Jimmy

251
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: g before Patrick Mahomes unbelievable comeback down in Miami and

252
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: rip the super Bowl right out of Kyle Shanahan's hands.

253
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: So it's a tough one if you're the Niners. I

254
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: would actually say there's added pressure on them to deliver

255
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: this year. Eagles will pull back a little bit. Dallas

256
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: seems to be the team to watch. San fran has

257
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: knocked them out of the postseason the last two years.

258
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Maybe that ends. I don't really know anyone besides Dallas

259
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: and Philly who are massive threats to the Niners. I

260
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: don't think anybody thinks the Saints are that big of

261
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: threats now. I like the Saints, but I don't think

262
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: they're a threat to the Niners. San Francisco. They've got

263
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: to win this year. I think anything less than a

264
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl trip will have to be a massive disappointment.

265
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you got this Trey Lance

266
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: ticking time bomb. That's just not working out for you.

267
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, the Niners like there's a

268
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: and again. I do this a lot, and some people

269
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: like it. Some people understand it because there is nuance

270
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: in sports. Some people hate it. Jay, You're always playing

271
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: both sides. Yeah, you kind of have to. Yes, I

272
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: like the Niners. I think they're about a ten eleven

273
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: twelve win team. They're right there with the class in

274
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: the NFC. They should make the Super Bowl NFC Championship.

275
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Anything less than that would be a stunner. That being said,

276
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: it's brock Perdy we're talking about. They lost their right tackle.

277
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: There are some questions on the right side of the

278
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: offensive line, and again we're picking knits here. They did

279
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: add a formidable front, the defensive front, maybe the best

280
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. There's a lot to like obviously about

281
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: the Niners. But quarterback still remains a question and we'll

282
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: see Kyle Shanahan has had some tough times here coming

283
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: up just a little bit short. Obviously last year you

284
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: can't really call it against him because the Eagles game,

285
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: you lose your quarterback first quarter. Come on, who's who's

286
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: rebounding from that? So the big news in the NFL

287
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Much smaller news as we wrap

288
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: up the podcast is the retirement of Corey Davis, wide

289
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: receiver for the Jets. He was overdrafted by the Titans,

290
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: wasn't phenomenal in Tennessee, moves on to the Jets. So

291
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: it's interesting. If you saw her knocks this week, Randall

292
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Cobb delivered a message from Aaron Rodgers to the Jets about, hey,

293
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: you know wide receivers veterans, you got to get on

294
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: same page with Aeron or he's gonna be ticked off.

295
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: And it was pretty obviously. You look at the Jets roster.

296
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims's gone, Aaron Rodgers has a problem with Alan Lazard.

297
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: He'll talk to Alan Lazard. There's no problems with Garrett Wilson,

298
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: He's amazing. So who does that leave. What veteran receiver

299
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: could Aaron Rodgers have been unhappy with? And the answer

300
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: has to be Corey Davis, who up and retired before

301
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: turning the age of thirty. And this is just such

302
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: a wacky, wacky off season for the Jets. They add Rogers, Lazard, Cobb,

303
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman, Corey Davis retires, Denzel Mimms traded Dalvin Cook.

304
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: Come on down, Like, I don't know what this does

305
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: for the Jets salary cap situation. But Raiders start oh

306
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: and four, do you make a call for Devonte Adams,

307
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. Bucks start one to five. Do you

308
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: make a call for Mike Evans or Chris Godwin? I mean,

309
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: the Jets, folks, I know you're sick about hearing about

310
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: him because they're my team, and maybe I stop if

311
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: they start oh and one or oh and two against

312
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Dallas. But this is the team now. They

313
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: got options, and options are the best thing to have.

314
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: So getting close to the start of the NFL season,

315
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: preseason week, this is the big week to watch the preseason.

316
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is starting for the Jets. Some other big

317
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: preseason matches to watch. There is no quarterback battle with

318
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Kyle traskt Baker Mayfield. That's over. Baker's a starter. I

319
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: think CJ. Stroud's a lot to be the starter in Houston.

320
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Not exciting, so we kind of go into the season

321
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: with no quarterback like questions or things brewing. I think

322
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: the one to watch is Aidan O'Connell, probably with Jimmy

323
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: Garoppolo in the Raiders. I'm not saying he's better than Garoppolo,

324
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: but if there's an injury, could be interesting. NFL getting

325
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: always interesting, and we have just secured a guest for

326
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,760
