1
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? John middle Cop Podcast, Thanks

2
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: for coming, Thanks for listening. Uh. I think football is

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: now officially back. July report date for all the veterans.

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: All the quarterbacks have been tested and uh kind of

5
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: set up so they've already and all the rookies and

6
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: now we have all the veterans. If you're listening to this,

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: that was the official report date. Again, it's a little complicated.

8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: You gotta get tested and then go away. Not quite exactly.

9
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I've read all the stories. I'm not quite

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: exactly sure how this works. Never unprecedented territory. But I

11
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say football is back. I have

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: a baseball game on in the background. We got sports

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Basketball is coming back. This week football the NFL um

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: you know it was gonna do everything possible. We had big,

15
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: big trade news this weekend. I'll give you my opinion

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: on the Seattle side, give you my opinion on the

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: New York Jet side. Jamal Adams clearly traded some thoughts

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: on the impact of your veteran players with the coronavirus

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: this year and their importance as leaders and teams with

20
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: strong veteran presences on their team. I think are gonna

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: benefit a lot. Coaches can only do so much. Just

22
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: some other you know, newsy things that have happened. And then,

23
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,320

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: But let's get into the big news of the weekend,

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: which was, you know, one of the bigger trades in

34
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: recent memory, Jamal Adams to the to the Seattle Seahawks

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: for two ones, a three and a player. So let's

36
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: start with it from Seattle side. And I I've been

37
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: thinking about this actually over the last year, but definitely

38
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: since the virus hit, and when the virus hit with

39
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: the stock market, I've actually been very, very aggressive. I've

40
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: been a lot of money in the market, and not

41
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: in the short term. I'm not trying to day trade,

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: but just big picture. I bought in with a lot

43
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: of cash that I had in savings, a lot of

44
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: cash that I've made since UH and I've been very,

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: very aggressive, And I've kind of been like that in

46
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: my life professionally. Like I moved to Philadelphia when I

47
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: was in my early twenties. It didn't matter, no family

48
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: just picked up in the lead left. You know. I

49
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: started my own podcast company with with my partner on

50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: the UH, on the Haybrom Middlecoff Show, we had a

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: radio show. We just run our own podcast business ourselves.

52
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: And I didn't even flinch, didn't hesitate. But it's easy

53
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: for me to be able to do that. I'm a

54
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: single guy. I don't have a family. I don't have

55
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: a wife for kids who depend on me. And sometimes

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: I think, and I've thought about this a lot over

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, would I be that aggressive

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: if I had kids? And will I be able to

59
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: keep that aggression as I age and I have more

60
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: response and I have other humans depending on me, my children,

61
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: my unborn children, and I admire people in this world

62
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: that have a lot to lose and keep their foot

63
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: on the pedal I I really do. It's easy to

64
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: put all your chips in the middle of the table

65
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: when it's just you. And if you lose, so what

66
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I can make more money. If all my money disappears

67
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: in this market, it won't really change my life that much.

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: But if you bet the mortgage when you have two

69
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: children or their college fund, it's a problem. It's broken

70
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: up some marriages. That's why I appreciate and admire people

71
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: in business like It's why I have a lot of

72
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: respect for Jerry Jones, a businessman. He has stayed aggressive

73
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: as he's had a lot to lose. We all know

74
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: those people in our local communities that are just known

75
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: as kind of mavericks and have huge balls. And again

76
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: it's it's easy to do when you're in your twenties

77
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: or thirties. It's another thing when you're fifty five and

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: have a business and have a family that if it

79
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: goes under, you got problems. And I'll say one thing

80
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: for John Snyder and Pete Carroll, they did not have

81
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: to do this. They go to the playoffs every year.

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: They've missed the playoffs one time over the last decade,

83
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: and that year they went nine and seven. They have

84
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback. They're going to be a

85
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: double digit win team for the foreseeable future. Like it,

86
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: it was not gonna stop whether Jamal Adams was on

87
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: the team or whether they use their first round picks

88
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: on crappy players because they don't draft that well in

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: the first round. Now, listen, we can debate all day

90
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: long how much they paid, and we'll get into that

91
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: in a little bit, but I will tip my hat

92
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: to them for this. They put all their chips in

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the table because they know, well, we'll

94
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: make the playoffs next year. How we might beat the Niners,

95
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: but you know it's a crapshoot once we get there.

96
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: But they didn't think like that. They go this player

97
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: who we've had a lot of success with before that

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: exact type player, little crazy, really physical, big personality, Cam Chancellor,

99
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman. Those guys thrived under Pete Carroll.

100
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: Think of Pete Carroll's USC teams basically a pro team

101
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: with a bunch of big personalities. Kicked everyone's ass and

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: when you look at it internally, you go, yeah, we

103
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: gave up two first rounders in the third rounder and

104
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: everyone's like we overpaid. Well, we go we have these

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: late first rounders. I don't know, because we win every

106
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: year and for the most part, at pick in the

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: late twenties is not like a pick number eight or ten.

108
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: We never draft there. We're not giving the you know,

109
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: pick nine and twelve the next two years. You know why,

110
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I know that because their last couple of picks have

111
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: been picked twenty seven and their worst pick of like

112
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: the last six or seven years was one two years ago.

113
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: They're typically picking between twenty five and thirty two. So

114
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: they go, you know, we're not gonna be bad. Why

115
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Because we have the second best quarterback in the league,

116
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: we have one of the best coach in the league,

117
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: and we have one of the better cultures in the league.

118
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: We win and we compete with And they had a

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: weird team, right because they had a seven point uh

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: differential at the end of the year. I think the

121
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Niners was like a hundred and fifty and the Seattle

122
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: they can play the Patriots or the Niners or the

123
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: Saints or whoever is a good team, and they can

124
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: beat them. They can play right with them. But they

125
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: also you can turn on their games on like a

126
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Sunday morning when they're playing the Redskin are the Panthers,

127
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: and they can be down four teen points in the

128
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: second half. They're weird team that way. Now they end

129
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: up winning a lot of those games, but it's a

130
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: weird deal. And maybe Pete Carroll would tell you, we

131
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: need Jamal Adams to give us a little juice, to

132
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: give us a little umph. We don't have Richard Sherman

133
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: walking through that door anymore. We don't have Camp Chanceer

134
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: walking through that door anymore. We don't have Michael Bennett

135
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: and Cliff Aver walking through the door. We've lost some

136
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: of our identity on defense and some of our vocal leaders.

137
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner great player, but he can't do it all

138
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: by himself. Russell Wilson somehow can defensively. Takes a little

139
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: bit more than just one guy. You can have J. J. Watt,

140
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: or you canna have Khalil Mack. If you don't have

141
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: help around those guys, you're limited. The reason LB was

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: so good is they had like eight of their eleven

143
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: guys were studs. Hell, it might have been like ten

144
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: of eleven if we really look back there. One question

145
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: was like who was their opposite corner, every other position stacked,

146
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: and I think they go listen. The NFL is not

147
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: a plug and play league, but one thing it is

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: when when the when a certain player fits your scheme,

149
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: it can be and we've learned that the last several years.

150
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: When a guy fits the scheme, you plug it in

151
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: and he kicks as immediately Vic Fangio goes, yeah, I

152
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: can handle Khalil Mack boom bang kicking everyone's butt. I

153
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: think the the Indianapolis Colts view the same thing with

154
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: the Forest Buckner one gap up the field scheme, Let's

155
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: get him. And I admire teams and Belichick's been doing

156
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: this forever, like it's easy to kind of just stay

157
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: in the middle lane, know when you're gonna have a chance.

158
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: Every year, it's another thing to get up to your

159
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: bat and go, you know what, I'm not trying to walk.

160
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hit this ball out of the stands.

161
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: And John Schnyder and Pete Carroll since they've taken over,

162
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: they've traded how many first round picks for players Now

163
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: they haven't all worked. But when you look at what

164
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: and I hear this all the time, Well, they missed

165
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: on Percy Harvard, and they missed on Jimmy Graham. Yeah,

166
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean Percy couldn't stay healthy. Jimmy Graham was kind

167
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: of screwed before he showed up because the entire defensive

168
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: unit thought he was a wooss. I mean, they hated

169
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: the guy and he he got injured. It wasn't the same,

170
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: but I admired that they tried to get their star

171
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: quarterback help. And once their quarterback, you realize, like we

172
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: can just draft DK Metcalfs and Chris Carson's and will

173
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: kick your butt. We need to be more aggressive on

174
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: defense because one thing we know, top defensive players Khalil Mack,

175
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, Like you just look around the NFL,

176
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett, Nick Bosa, Joey Bosa. What are those guys

177
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: all have in common? They never last to the twenties?

178
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: And what is John Schneider and what is he consistently

179
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: said the last three or four years He says this

180
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: on record, He goes, why do you always trade back? John?

181
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Why do you always trade back? Because every year we

182
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: have sixteen to twenty first round players graded on our

183
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: board and we're never drafted in there, so we don't

184
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: want to take a player at the end of the

185
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: first round and pay him first round money who we

186
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: view as a second rounder. It's why we trade back

187
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: all the time, or it's why we trade you know,

188
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: that pick for players, and we understand it's a crapshoot

189
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: when you're drafting twenty you know, it's it's it's not

190
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the same as drafting a top ten player. So we

191
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: get Jamal Adams, who's our type culture guy who Pete

192
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Carroll knows was gonna thrive in this defense, and who

193
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: helps our defense, who we when we had a chance

194
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: to win Super Bowls. Our defense was good. Our quarterback

195
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: now is dramatically better than he was back then, but

196
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: our defense is dramatically worse. So if maybe we can

197
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: meet in the middle, we'll have a chance. And you go, well,

198
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, look at San Francisco last year. They went

199
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: thirteen and three. They kicked the crap out of the

200
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Vikings and the and the Packers to get to the

201
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Seattle went without a guy like Jamal Adams.

202
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: It was a coin flip game. We beat him once

203
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: in overtime, and they beat us once in Seattle when

204
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: we came away six inches away from winning that game

205
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: and sweeping them, and we would have been had a

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: home field by So yeah, we got up take a swing.

207
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Our coaches in his lake sixties, John Snyder makes a

208
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: ton of money that they're they're trying to win, and

209
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I admire that. And listen, I said the same thing

210
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: last year when I got on the Pittsburgh Steelers for

211
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Mika Fitzpatrick, and I thought it was reckless and I

212
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: was wrong. Why Because Minka Fitzpatrick helped change their team

213
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: because their offense stunk, Their quarterback and passing game was atrocious,

214
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: their defense was elite and he dominated. And I didn't

215
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: think about this. This wasn't my idea or thought. Bucky

216
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Brooks tweeted out that people have told them in the league,

217
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: and it makes so much sense that these playmaking safeties,

218
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: as the game is spread out, as these quarterbacks have come,

219
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: become more athletic, unique guys that can make plays in space.

220
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: It's why linebackers now the two down middle linebacker stuff

221
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: in the run. Those days are dead. I need guys

222
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: that can run. Look at the linebackers who were drafted

223
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, early in the draft. They

224
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: all can cover and play sideline. The sideline, well, what

225
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: does Jamal Adams and Minca Fitzpatrick do? Their borderline linebacker

226
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: and they can play against tight ends and they can

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: cover in the slot. Now do I love giving up

228
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: two first rounders and the third rounder? No, I don't.

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: But unlike the Rams who did it for Jalen Ramsey

230
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: and listen, Jalen Ramsey plays a more important position than

231
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. The Rams have made the playoffs like two

232
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: times in the last two decades. Seattle literally goes in

233
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs every year. And this is what they know.

234
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is a soft spot for premium players because

235
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: say what you want about Jimmy Graham and say what

236
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: you wanted about Percy harv and they didn't work out.

237
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Those guys were blue chip talents. And they did it

238
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: again here for a blue chip talent. And I admire

239
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: that because they didn't have to do it. They easily

240
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: could have just just win your ten games, take your chances,

241
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: maybe win around, get knocked out in the second round.

242
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: They ain't thinking like that, and it's easy. Most people

243
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: just job security. Just you know, if I'm John Schneider,

244
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: make my three million dollars if I'm Pete Carroll just

245
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: just crews keep racking up some wins. It's you know,

246
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: it's easy to have balls when your team sucks and

247
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: just trading guys like you're the Jaguars nobody cares. Or

248
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: even when John Gruden traded Khalil Max like your team

249
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: is terrible, who cares? Well? Whatever you know you were,

250
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna have that much impact either way, regardless

251
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: of we think about the deal. It's much much more

252
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: difficult to make these crazy trades when you're one of

253
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: the top teams in the league and listen, whether it

254
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: works out or not, it takes a couple of years

255
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: to know. Nobody knows. Right now. We can give our opinions.

256
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: That's all I'm doing, given my opinion what I think

257
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. I think Jamal Adams is gonna be

258
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: a really good player for the Seattle Seahawks, just like

259
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: I think the Jets. Easy deal for them to make

260
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: for a guy that didn't want to be there. But

261
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I I can't say it enough, and

262
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: I tweeted it this weekend. I I I admire the

263
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: mindset of Seattle, of John Schneider, of Pete Carroll of

264
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: the front office and the way they run their franchise. Okay,

265
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: let's get into the Jets point of view. I'm gonna

266
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: start off by saying this, if you told me five

267
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: or six days ago before this trade happened, you said, John,

268
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to trade or not, They're

269
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna find a way. Jamal desperately wanted out, and I

270
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: kept saying, well, this isn't the NBA. It's hard to

271
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: force you know, a team's hand. Now, when you just

272
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: talk mad shit about a coach and you blast him

273
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: in the papers like Jamal did. It worked. Now Jamal

274
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: is requested before he got traded about six trades. So

275
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: it finally worked. And Joe Douglas, who I've never met personally,

276
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: I emailed once. I was trying to have him actually

277
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: on this show during the coronavirus. Maybe be able to

278
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: get him now over the next month, We'll we'll see.

279
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: But I've had friends that work with him obviously in Philadelphia,

280
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: and they love the guy. They think very very highly

281
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: of the guy. He said, John, what would you imagine

282
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: they pull off a trade for Jamal Adams, he gets

283
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot. What would you think he would get I'd

284
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: say a first in a second. So when you say

285
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: two ones, a three, and a player at the hole

286
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: for a player that does not want to be there,

287
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: you get rid of him. You didn't draft him, you

288
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: didn't you didn't hire this coach. This whole debacle the

289
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: Jets in an article coming came out last week on

290
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: their owner, who's actually like owns the team, but he's

291
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: not the active owner because the brothers in control. He's

292
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, like in politics now represents America and some

293
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: other country. I'm not smart enough to even figure out

294
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: what the hell he's doing, but he had some like

295
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: racist comments the Jets are a disaster. As the West

296
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Coast guy, I get tired of hearing about the Jets.

297
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: Like it's one thing when you got Rex Ryan, You're

298
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: going to a f C championship games, you got Rebus

299
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: and Sanchise. It's another thing when you just suck. And

300
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: yet Northeast bias, the Northeast elites that they love the

301
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: mark big markets, which trust me, I'm a big market guy.

302
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: But it's just like when your team sucks, I just

303
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: I got nothing to say about you. Joe Douglas did

304
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: a really good job let me started by saying that.

305
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: But here's one thing that kind of doesn't bother me.

306
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: But no one ever brings up people like, oh, you

307
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: got two ones, All ones are not equal. Two picks

308
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: in the twenties are not the same as like pick five.

309
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: There was an article after the the NFL draft that said,

310
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: when you went to the value chart, Actually, someone with

311
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: the forty nine sent me this to the value chart

312
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: of what the Raiders, the trade they made for Khalil

313
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Mack and just pick thirteen and what the forty Niners

314
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: ultimately did with it, trading back and then using that

315
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: pick to get back in the first round was almost equal.

316
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: Because for Khalil Mack, when they got two ones, and

317
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: remember they swapped the two, it was one thing. You know,

318
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: the Bears might have been bad if those two picks

319
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: had been picked eight and pick ten. I'm in a hole.

320
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Do you know what it actually

321
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: turned out to be pick twenty four and nineteen, and

322
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: then the Bears got picked forty five. Jalen Ramsey, the

323
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars just draft use the Rams pick. It was

324
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: picked twenty. Now the Rams actually might not be as

325
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: good this year. We're gonna find out. But let's say

326
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: the Rams go nine and seven again, so pick twenty

327
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: and pick twenty for Jalen Ramsey. You drafted the guy

328
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: five overall, Khalil Mack five overall, Jamal Adams six overall.

329
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: You you draft, you use a high, high pick on

330
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: these guys, and then the guy becomes good and then

331
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: you give him away for two ones, which on paper,

332
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not blaming Joe Douglas for this because there's

333
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: not another team in the league offering multiple ones, so

334
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: he's got to take the deal. But more than likely

335
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: these picks are gonna be in the twenties, and the

336
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: pressure on him now he can use those picks to

337
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: trade for players, like Minnesota just you know, got picked

338
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: whatever twenty two for Dicks, so you can use that

339
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: capital to trade for players. It doesn't limit you just

340
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: to the draft, but we just act like, oh, you

341
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: didn't just get picked five and pick seven, right, So

342
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: I think sometimes Laramie Tunzil, everyone crushes Bill O'Brien. I

343
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: can't believe you traded multiple ones and a two for

344
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: Laramie tunzel One he got back Kenny Stills and two

345
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien makes some playoffs every year. Last year he

346
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: won a playoff game. What was that pick to get

347
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: a starting left tackle? Now, if they suck, which they're

348
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: not going to, and you get pick seven, it's one thing,

349
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: but you traded Laramie Tunzil. You're starting left tackle who

350
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: you actually got lucky to get because he put on

351
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: the weed mask and fell in the draft, was supposed

352
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: to go number one overall, and he traded him for

353
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: two picks, probably in the twenties. So when sometimes when

354
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: you make one of these crazy trades and that team

355
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: ends up sucking. Remember the Rams when they traded for

356
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. They had a shitty first season, and the

357
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Titans like ended up with pick three and pick five.

358
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: That works out. But when you just get two picks

359
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: in the twenties, I think we act like on paper,

360
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: it's some great haul when we don't actually know what

361
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: it is. And let's face it, as I said earlier,

362
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to judge these trades immediately beside like, yeah,

363
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: it looks good on paper, but let's see where the

364
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: picks end up. Because when the Raiders gave Khalil Mack

365
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: to Chicago Bears, they thought the Bears were gonna be

366
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 1: a five or six win team. First year they went

367
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: twelve and four. Last year was a disaster. They went

368
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: eight and eight and the pick was nineteen. So we'll

369
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: have to see where this. Here's what I know. Seattle

370
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the playoffs next year, lock period,

371
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: point blank. There's only one the only chance that's the

372
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks draft pick is not in the twenties if

373
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has a major injury. Last time I checked,

374
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's never missed a game in the NFL, as

375
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: durable of a player as there is currently in the

376
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: National Football League. So I think he just based on

377
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: his resume, he got yeah, Russell is not gonna miss

378
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: a game. Well for Russell Wilson plays sixteen games, they're

379
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: winning ten plus, especially now you factor in Jamal, So

380
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: then the pressure goes on Joe Douglas again. This was

381
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: he inherited this mess, this Woody Johnson Adam Gaze, Jamal

382
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Adams mess. He had nothing to do with it. He

383
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: inherited it. And I don't blame him for not wanting

384
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: to extend the player. When you're not winning with the player,

385
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: it makes sense to get rid of him. When you

386
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: can get this hall, especially with an opinionated guy, given

387
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: the type and style in which he plays, no problem.

388
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: But here's another thing that this is brought into the light.

389
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: And Phil Savage, who ironically now works with the Jets,

390
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: told me this a while ago. He did Alabama radio

391
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: in the SEC, and I think the NFL is a

392
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: lot like this. Certain divisions are like this in the NFL,

393
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: but certain cities are like this in the NFL, and

394
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: New York, Philly, Boston are definitely like this. In the SEC.

395
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: Every every you know team operates like this when a

396
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: when a snowball of negativity starts happening and the avalanche

397
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: comes down on your coach, there is no stopping it.

398
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: And I think at the time we were talking, we

399
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: had a mutual Flint friend, Jim mcwaine, who was at Florida.

400
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: Remember are the picture of him naked on the shark

401
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: Now wasn't even him? And remember the first two years

402
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: of Jim mcwayne. He went to UH the SEC title game,

403
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: but everyone's like, well, the SEC e sucks and then

404
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: it's like they were looking for a reason. And when

405
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: they look for a reason the SEC, you're you're dead.

406
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: Man walking. You cannot avoid getting got right. It happened

407
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: to UH. It happened to a lot of coaches in

408
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: the SEC. Once you're in their crosshairs of your administration

409
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: of the fan base, and Paul find bombs talking about you,

410
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: it's over and same thing in New York. It happened

411
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: with Todd Bowles. It's happened with UH, with Macadoo, it

412
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: happened last year with Pat Shermer. It happened with Chip Kelly.

413
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: It obviously doesn't happen with Belichick, but it happens, you know,

414
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: with with baseball with some of their manager happened with

415
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: Tito Francona. And right now it's on Adam Gaze. And

416
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: I think if you look at Adam Gaze and listen,

417
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: he was Sean McVeigh, he was Kyle Shanahan, he was

418
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: Kingsbury and the floor before all these guys, the young

419
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: hot shot. Clearly something was off. And while Peyton Manning

420
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: signed off on him, John Elway would not. And I

421
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: think John Elway the forty Niners when they fired Jim Harbaugh,

422
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: they were gonna hire Adam Gaze. Trent Balk was gonna

423
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: hire Something happened last minute. I think a lot of

424
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: people think it was John Elway bad mouth. It didn't happen.

425
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: They went with Tom Seuwa, and a couple of years

426
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: later Adam Gates becomes the head coach in Miami. That

427
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: first year they made the playoffs and it was like God,

428
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: and remember Tanny Hill got hurt and they still made

429
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they got blown out in a game

430
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, but still made the playoffs in Miami

431
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: a joke franchise. That's impressive. And ever since then it's

432
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: been a disaster and him getting this job, and even

433
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: last year though with the Mono, they somehow still went

434
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: seven and nine. It was weird. You you had multiple

435
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: players bad mouthing him. You had when Sam got Mono.

436
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Remember they started a quarterback who didn't take any reps

437
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: during the regular season. And it's just one thing after another,

438
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: one thing after another. Is opening press conference with the

439
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: eyes going all over the place. He can't avoid this

440
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: negative avalanche that's coming. And I think there is not

441
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: a coach right now. And then I include Dan Quinn,

442
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: who I'd say probably who seats the hottest, but not

443
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: hotter than Adam Gaze. Because people want this guy gone

444
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: and Joe Douglas didn't hire him, though I guess from

445
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: what I've heard their friends. They knew each other from Chicago.

446
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: It's just the Jets who invested all this. Remember they

447
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: went from six to three, gave up pick six and

448
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: three second rounders to get Sam, and I think Sam's

449
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna be good. But if Sam, let's say, has a

450
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: good year and wants Adam gone, he's gone. If they

451
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: don't probably go five hundred or above. When I say

452
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: five hundred, like they gotta go nine and seven and

453
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: probably make the playoffs. Adam Gaze has done. He's dead

454
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: man walking right now, and it's all kind of pointed him.

455
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: They can say whatever they want. I know Joe Douglas

456
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: on Monday said he's the right coach for this job.

457
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone's after him. It just it just happened two

458
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: years ago with Todd Bowles. We saw it happened across

459
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: the street. Technically they play in the same spot with

460
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: Pat Schremer in I could do in that city. Uh,

461
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: with that edgy fan base and the type people in

462
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: the Northeast, when they want you gun that, there's no

463
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: surviving it. And I Jamal Adams Listen. He crushed the guy,

464
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: and I mean absolutely eviscerated. Now you could say he

465
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: was doing everything possible to get out. If he was

466
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: the only guy saying something negative about Adam Gates, I'd say, listen,

467
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: maybe they just didn't see ied that happens. It's football.

468
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: It's a contentious environment. Uh. Bill Belichick's famous line is

469
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: there's no growth at a little confrontation. A lot of

470
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: coaches like confrontation because you grow from it. And in football,

471
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: unlike normal society, like you get yelled at. I got

472
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: yelled at as a staff member, Players get yelled at

473
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: as players. Other coaches get yelled at by head coaches

474
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: like it's people get yelled at. It's it's an edgy

475
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: environment that this is not your local restaurant. People are

476
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: on eggshells. I mean, the best franchise in the league

477
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: last twenty years. No franchise has more eggshells. Now, listen,

478
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: like Pete Carroll, Andy Reid. They're not always like that,

479
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: but it's intense. You're planning to win a lot of

480
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: money in line billion dollar franchises, and everyone's looking at

481
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: this guy right now. Because it wasn't just Jamal Adams

482
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: it's been countless players. When he showed up, it was

483
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: guys in Miami. People just think the guys a weirdo.

484
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: And the one thing he always hung his hat on,

485
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: well he's an offensive genius. Well it's kind of time

486
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: to get something done this year. You've added some offensive lineman,

487
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: you've got a star we think young quarterback, you've got

488
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: a good running back. You just they're gonna have to

489
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: be successful. The divisions wide open because if they're not,

490
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze is going to get fired. Okay, let's I'm

491
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: sure many people saw this. I guess it was on Monday.

492
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: It happened Sunday night, and Monday became a big story.

493
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: The Miami Marlins, who had a bunch of players and

494
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: coaches get the virus. I think nine people in total. Uh,

495
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: And they had, you know, forfeit, canceled games. They didn't

496
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: leave Philly, they were headed to Baltimore. I think it

497
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: was kind of a disaster. And then Philly I had

498
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: the Yankees coming in. They had to postpone the game.

499
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: Not not ideal situation for baseball. And you know, a

500
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: couple of things came to mind. One the overreaction on

501
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: social media, like I'm sorry, but if you think baseball

502
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: cares about the Miami Marlins, you're out of your mind. Now.

503
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: If this has been the Yankees of the Dodgers, we'd

504
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: have a problem. But the Miami Marlins, the biggest joke franchise,

505
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: probably in all professional sports. Like to to even think that,

506
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: are we sure that Derek Jeter and these guys are

507
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: even following the protocols. I don't know, but I'm not

508
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: giving them the benefit doubt joke franchise, But it did

509
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: make me think because unlike basketball, who was in this bubble,

510
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: Unless you have an excused absence like Lou Williams and

511
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: you want to get some chicken wings from your favorite

512
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: restaurant or a strip club, you can't really leave the bubble.

513
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: In football and baseball, that's not the case now. A

514
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: major difference I saw Coward pointed this out on Twitter,

515
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: is that unlike baseball, where you play every day and

516
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: you're traveling to these different cities. Even though kudos to

517
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: Baseball they attempted, they just kept everything regionally. You're only

518
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: playing your division and only playing the the opposite. Uh. Like,

519
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: if you're in the a L, you play the animal

520
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: teams from that same Division two. So like the Giants,

521
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: they also play the Angels, or the A's play the Giants, right,

522
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: the Yankees play the Mets. You're not going cross country,

523
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: so they're trying to limit the travel, but you're still traveling.

524
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: In football, you travel eight days a year for one

525
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: night and then you're leaving. You leave immediately after the game.

526
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: You do not stay. Le's the Super Bowl. So it's

527
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: it's not apples to apples at all. But here's what

528
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: I do know. Football, like baseball. Every day, you guys

529
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: are gonna go home, and because of the CBA rules

530
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: you get a day off a week and older players,

531
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: guys in their thirties with families, no big deal. You're

532
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: you naturally go home and hang out with your family. Anyway,

533
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: for younger players or any single guys, because I've said

534
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: over and over, most humans, definitely, most humans I know

535
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: who are not professional athletes are not scared as virus

536
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: and they're just living their life, not breaking the rules.

537
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: At least in my state, you got to wear a

538
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: mass place. Uh, we haven't changed that at all. We've

539
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: always had to wear mass places. I guess there have

540
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: been some areas in California, but at least in the

541
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: Bay Area. In l A, it's been it's been mandated

542
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: that you wear a mask. But the reality is is,

543
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: if I told you, or if you told me, do

544
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: you have a lot of money on the line, you

545
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: have to follow these protocols for this six month span,

546
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: I would follow it. I'm also thirty five years old,

547
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: and I'm a lot more mature than I was at

548
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old. Now, if I was seven years old,

549
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: Let's say I was twenty three years old and you

550
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: told me those same things, I might not listen to you.

551
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: Whether I'm ignorant, whether I think I'm unders indestructible, whether

552
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: I just don't have that much life experience. And reality is,

553
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: most guys in their early twenties we do dumb shit.

554
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: We don't always make the best decisions that. There's a

555
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: reason women and females even going back to high school,

556
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: let alone our early twenties mid twenties, are much more

557
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: mature than us. Now I'm not saying they're all mature,

558
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: but from in my experience, there are a lot more

559
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: mature than us. When you talk about football players, especially

560
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: highly drafted ones, because those are the guys that are

561
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: gonna make teams first and second rounders. They're gonna have

562
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot of disposable income, and they're gonna have a

563
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: lot of time on their hands. And it's gonna be

564
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: now luckily because of not luckily. It's not ideal. I

565
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: don't want any business shutdown, but a lot of these

566
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: businesses are limited to what you can do and limited

567
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: to places you can go. Now again, it depends state

568
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: to state. I would imagine many people are you listening

569
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: that are in the Southern States. A lot of stuff

570
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: is open. I can't relate to that. I know the

571
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna have less to do than let's say,

572
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: the Saints. But the more I've thought about this, listen,

573
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: coaches are always on guys. Uh. Some guys are more

574
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: verbal and aggressive than others. But the reality is of

575
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: a coach, they are, you know, quote unquote, the father figure,

576
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: the boss in the relationship. They're the guy pushing the player.

577
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: Every coach has. You know, most coaches have different styles,

578
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: but they're all trying to accomplish the same goal. Stay

579
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: on the player, get the most out of them, especially

580
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: younger players. J. G. Watt, Richard Sherman. You probably don't

581
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: need to approach the same though most great players will

582
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: tell you they want to be coached and pushed, but

583
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: definitely the younger players after a certain point in time,

584
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: like when you're young with your parents, you kind of

585
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: tune them out. Not everything, I mean, you're listening to

586
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: them schematic stuff, but just about life advice coming at

587
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: you every day. You eventually go, can you just lay

588
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: off me a little bit? I know I was like that,

589
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: so I understand why other guys are like that. But

590
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: when you have a peer and when I say, appear

591
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: like a teammate. So if I'm on the team with J. J.

592
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Watt or Richard Sherman or you know, Cam Heyward or

593
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox or one of these guys that are in

594
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: their thirties and have accomplished a lot in the league,

595
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: when those guys tell me, hey man, we need to

596
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: be smart about this. We can't be going out this year.

597
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: Once this is over, you'll be able to go out

598
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: as much as you want. This is not gonna be indefinite.

599
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: We will eventually. We don't know when it's gonna happen

600
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: to get back to some normal civilization, but this year,

601
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: in this fall, unless there's a vaccine that comes out

602
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: before you know it feels like it's not gonna come

603
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: out one. We gotta be locked in and make good decisions.

604
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: I think every team, especially the playoff teams and fringe

605
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: playoff teams, are really gonna depend on their veteran players

606
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: to be like coaches, kind of act like father figures

607
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: and kind of you know, being these guys asses of

608
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: making good decisions and being smart. Because if I draft

609
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: you in the first round and you're a starter on

610
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: my team, I'm depending on you. I can't have you

611
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: if you get car on a just because guys just

612
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: get Corona, there's nothing we can do about it. But

613
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get it because you're gonna go out

614
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: to a club on an off day or a bar like,

615
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: that's on you. And I know the NFL has put

616
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: out rules like they can dock your pay, they can

617
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: suspend you. The coaches and the franchises do not want

618
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: to do that because they want their young players to play.

619
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: But like I said, young players naturally aren't gonna listen

620
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: as much. Why just because that's what guys normally do.

621
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: They think they have it all figured out, and the

622
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: older you get, you realize the less unless you actually

623
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: had figured out, but it takes you time to realize that.

624
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: And whoever your star older player, a guy over thirty,

625
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: an accomplished player, whether it's a quarterback with a star,

626
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: defensive players, star, whatever, is gonna have to be on

627
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: these guys. And if I was a head coach, whoever

628
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: I If I'm Andy Reid is the Honey Badger, If

629
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle shanahanis Richard Sherman, If I'm Seattle, it's Bobby

630
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: Wagner and Russell Wilson. It's it's easy to figure out

631
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: who your guys are with every team. I'm saying I

632
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: need you guys more than ever right now, and I

633
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: need you to talk to these guys about the seriousness

634
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: of being focused and of doing the right things off

635
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: and kind of having to suck it up and be

636
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: really boring going home, just play video games, and you

637
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: just you can't have all your family members flying every year.

638
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: It sucks. It's not ideal. Nobody wants this, but this

639
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: is the cards and the situation we're dealt, and the

640
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: only way for us to be successful is not contracting

641
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: this virus. And it's no different than I think these

642
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: older players are gonna need or some younger players are

643
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: married to say it to their wife, say it to

644
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: their girl friends, like, we gotta be pretty focused here.

645
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: We are going to have to uh, you know, do

646
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: things and make us uncomfortable, not be able to see

647
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: our friends, and it sucks, but we we have more

648
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: on the line. We can't afford to test positive and

649
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: not be able to play for a couple of weeks

650
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: because that that is it will take place. We will

651
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: be out a couple of weeks. And I think the

652
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: pressure on the veteran players is equally as much as

653
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: the coaches to stay on these younger players. And you

654
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: can only do so much right. You can only lead

655
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: a horse to water. Eventually at the drink, you can

656
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: only say so much. Some eventually becomes on the individual.

657
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: But if I was a head coach man, I would

658
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: be on my older players to be like, we're gonna

659
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: need more at of you verbally and leadership wise, of

660
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: just kind of holding these guys hands, not literally because

661
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: we don't want to, you know, give corona to everybody,

662
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: but we gotta stay focused. It's gonna it's the more

663
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: mature discipline teams this season are the ones in my opinion.

664
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: Now there, listen, you can read ten articles on the

665
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: coronavirus and come to ten different solutions. I don't pretend

666
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: it's crazy how many people in the media think they know.

667
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: It's like, listen, here, here's what I know about the

668
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: media that there. They don't know anything of the sports media.

669
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't care about your opinions on science either way,

670
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: and we none of us know anything. And I don't

671
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: care about your opinions on business like you guys have

672
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: kind of shown your true colors and those two realms.

673
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: Just report on the players, and uh, let's just let's

674
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: just try to get these pl as to stay focused

675
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, have a season. But again, it's

676
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the more disciplined teams, the more focused teams,

677
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: the more mature teams, even they're younger players, and that

678
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: we are willing to listen to the older players and

679
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: the coaches are gonna have a chance to be successful. Okay,

680
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: let's fly around, just some stories hit really quick before

681
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: we get in the Middlecoff mail Bag. The Minnesota Vikings

682
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: trainer tested positive. That's a pretty big problem. I'd argue

683
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: the trainer is as important as like a coordinator in

684
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, in my experience, I only was

685
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: around one trader, Rick Burkeholder. If if any of you

686
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: guys are Chiefs fans listening, you know how visible he is.

687
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: I mean Andy lets him talk to the media. He

688
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: plays a vital, vital role. He's Andy. If Brett, Veach

689
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: and him are like they're all crue bred Veach, Andy Rick,

690
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: like they all work hand in hand together, Like you

691
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: can't break without your trainer. So that's a pretty big blow. Uh.

692
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, the rookie, I don't know if he tested

693
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: positive or just because he had been in contact because

694
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: the rookies had been there earlier. He's also on the

695
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: Corona COVID list. It's kind of complicated, you know. I

696
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: I I can't stress this enough how important in an

697
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: NFL operation that the trainer is. So I think his

698
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: title was, like, you know, basically the the guy that

699
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: runs the Corona operation and for him to get it

700
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: not ideal start okay? Uh, the Commissioner's exemple list, which

701
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: basically you're just suspended until he takes you off. Quinn Dunbar,

702
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks starting corner and DeAndre Baker, former Giants first

703
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: rounder who it's harder to follow the story. All I

704
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: know is there was gambling that went bad, Guns were pulled.

705
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: Poor are paid off to shut up. Some shady stuff happened.

706
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to know the details, because I I

707
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: never pretend when these initial things come out to know.

708
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: I I just know it was not ideal. And some

709
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: of the things I've heard from people around the Giants

710
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: on DeAndre Baker has not been good. I don't know

711
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: anything about Quentin Dunbar. Uh. He's clearly a tall, long

712
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: corner because Seattle, that's type of guys they like. But

713
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: those guys right now are not available, and uh, not

714
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: an ideal situation. Rahi Mostert the forty Niners, he's not

715
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: even starting running back. He's never started a game in

716
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: his career. His agent made this big stink a couple

717
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: of weeks ago that he needed a pay raise, and

718
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, you know, Adam Schefter reported, they basically

719
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: gave him some incentives kind of to shut him up.

720
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: To me, the agents a little bit of a loose cannon, like,

721
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: you don't need to go public. It's one thing if

722
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: you're Jamal Adams or Jalen Ramsey. It's like bro your

723
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: Raheim Mostart's agent. The guy's never started a game. He

724
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: had a good NFC championship game. Let's just pipe down.

725
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: Let's let's act like grown ups and just deal. You

726
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 1: don't need to come out public. Just deal with the Niners.

727
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: And I think the Niners attempted to take care of them.

728
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: They weren't going to give him a new deal. They

729
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: literally just gave him a contract extension last year. Uh.

730
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes as an agent, you just just follow what the

731
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: big boys do, you know. Just Doug Peterson. Uh, the Eagles,

732
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: i think officially reported and said maybe most coaches today

733
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: had press conferences and said that alshon Jeffrey, it's hard

734
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: to tell. You know. The one thing, having been on

735
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: both sides, now, coaches are gonna lie to you. They're

736
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna say guys are healthy. They're gonna say guys are

737
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: doing good. I'm not saying Doug's doing this, but typically

738
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: he said today alshon Jeffrey looks fantastic. He should be

739
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: ready to go, and it's gonna it's gonna be said

740
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: all over the league. This guy looks good, came back

741
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: and great Jape. The meeting is not really allowed of practice,

742
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: and they're not allowed to tweet what's going on, So

743
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna get to find out

744
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: who's practicing who's not practicing. Now, no preseason games as fans,

745
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: and I'm much closer to a fan than I am

746
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: like someone on the inside. Now, I mean I get

747
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: inside information. We're gonna have no clue who's starting, especially

748
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: high level teams. They're not gonna want to tell you.

749
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: But you think Bill Belichick is gonna tell you who's

750
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: taking the number one reps, We're not gonna know. So

751
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: there was gonna be more unknown this training camp, which

752
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: what is actually going on at practice than ever before

753
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: because the the during training camp is the one time

754
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: media is all allowed to stay at the entire practice

755
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: and too, even if they're lying to you at practice

756
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: and they're like shuffling things up, so you can't quite

757
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: keep track like who's getting what reps? You get to

758
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: tell in the preseason game, like when the starting unit

759
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: comes out, is the guy there or not? And there

760
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: are no preseason games, even if it's just a series,

761
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: you at least get to see like, oh yeah, that

762
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: guy's a starting right guard, or yo, that's the starting quarterback,

763
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: or that's the starting tight end, or that's the starting

764
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: defensive end. We'll have no clue, which honestly kind of

765
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: makes it cool. A lot of unknown this training camp.

766
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: The Anthony Thomas, the former Oregon speed Stir, opted out,

767
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: and I think a couple other players opted out. And

768
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: I guess if you were you had underlying conditions and

769
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: were able to opt out, you can occur a season

770
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: and get uh. I think like three hundred thousand dollars.

771
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: At first, I read a hundred fifty thousand, and then

772
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: I think the team has to matches, and maybe it's

773
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand. Again, A lot of this stuff is

774
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: very fluid. I I'm trying to keep up with it

775
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: all I I read some stuff. I find myself confused.

776
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: I've said all along, I don't think any prominent players

777
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: will opt out of the league because unlike Baseball, like,

778
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: for example, Buster Posey opted out, he was scheduled to

779
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: make twenty million dollars or twenty two. Well, the moment

780
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: they play sixty games, he was actually scheduled to make eight.

781
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: So he's like, is it worth it? Just adopted some

782
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: new kids for eight million dollars now me, you and

783
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: everyone listening, unless there's like some NFL coaches listening, and

784
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: some of them do would not have opted out right.

785
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: Eight million dollars a lot of money. But in the

786
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: NFL that these guys plan on playing sixteen games, So

787
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna want to make all their money.

788
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: And a lot of the league are younger players who

789
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: are still on rookie deals that are four fifth, sixth

790
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 1: round picks that are making again a lot of money,

791
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: seven eight, nine hundred thousand dollars. But with how short

792
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: careers are, with how you know quick things change in

793
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, I I really don't think maybe I'm naive

794
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: that that many. I think the Chiefs had a right

795
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: guard opt out. They immediately signed Colletchio. Assembly Um, I'll

796
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: be shocked if you see some Pro Bowl name, you know,

797
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: some prominent all pro level player opted out. I I

798
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: really I'll be floored. Actually, I'll be absolutely four because

799
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the Major League Baseball,

800
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: not a prominent famous people opted out. But David Price

801
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: and Buster Posey got news for you. They're not good anymore.

802
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: Buster Posey is terrible. I think you hit four home runs.

803
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: I like the guy, he's one of my favorite players

804
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: of all time. But he's done. His career is basically over,

805
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: probably retire after the end of next year. David Price

806
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been good in like three seasons, so and it's

807
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: easier to opt out when you have, you know, a

808
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars in the bank. Football players, unless

809
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: you're like Mahomes, Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers, you don't

810
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: have that type money. So every year is a really

811
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: big deal for you to play. And I say it

812
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: all the time. These leagues are not playing for the fans,

813
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: they're not doing it for the media. That they're strictly

814
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: doing it like any one of you guys listening to

815
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: have a small business, a regular size business whatever, to

816
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: try to economically survive, because if you're used to five

817
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: million dollars in revenue coming in per team or whatever,

818
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: and then it would go from five zero, that's a

819
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: problem and some teams would not survive. It's why baseball

820
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: is playing right now. If they did not play the season,

821
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: some teams might go under. It's it's as crazy as

822
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: that sounds, it's really that simple. The bigger your expenses

823
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: are the less ability you have to pivot when revenue

824
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: stops coming in. There, that's all they're doing. That If

825
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: if all these leagues would not lose a penny and

826
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: you didn't have to play this year, they wouldn't play.

827
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: It's trictly a money grab because that's because their businesses

828
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: and and that is why all these they're not doing

829
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: it for the fans. If I hear one more time,

830
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: you know the sports is not essential. Yeah, neither's McDonald's.

831
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: Neither is best Buy, Hell, neither is Amazon. That most

832
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: businesses beside like hospitals, are essential that they're strictly doing

833
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: and maybe like the grocery store that businesses that they're

834
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: simply trying to survive because that's what they try to do,

835
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: make profits. That's that's the point of this place where

836
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: we live called America and capitalism. So that they're not

837
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: coming back for the fans. They don't really give a

838
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: shit about the fans this year. They're just trying to

839
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: make their television money and move on to next year

840
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: when there's hopefully a vaccine and they get back to normal. Okay,

841
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: let's bang out some middlecoff mail bag questions because I'm

842
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: getting really hungry and I need to go make dinner

843
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: at John middlecoff My Andsta. Give it a follow fire

844
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: in those d m s. Also Middle cop or three

845
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: and Out podcasts on Apple Go subscribe, leave review with

846
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams now a Seahawk. Do the Niners have to

847
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: go get another wide receiver such as a J. Green?

848
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: I would say no. I also don't know if a J.

849
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: Green is even available. Uh. If you get a J.

850
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: Green for nothing, sure I would take a flyer. But

851
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: you know he's an aging guy that's always hurt. Who

852
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: how many games a J. Green played in the last

853
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: three years. It feels like he's always on the shelf. Uh.

854
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned that John Lynch isn't the decision maker or

855
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: personnel guy for the forty Niners. Well, he is the

856
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: personnel guy, he's not the decision maker as well as

857
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot of other gms. If the GM isn't making

858
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: decisions on the personnel, what are their main roles? Then?

859
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: I always thought picking the players was mostly the GM's

860
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: decision with the coaching input. Thanks, it would be running

861
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: the personnel department, meaning even making sure all the players

862
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I mean pro players and all the

863
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: players in college are evaluated, setting up the boards, funneling

864
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: grades to the coaches, running the advanced scouting department, running

865
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: the scouts, dealing with your owner, dealing with contracts, uh,

866
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: basically making life very easy for the for the head coach,

867
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: basically being his right hand guy. And you know it's

868
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: it's not an ideal job when you don't get to

869
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: pick the players, because, like you said, most of us

870
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: when we're growing up, you want to be a gentleman.

871
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 1: The general manager picks the players. The coaches coach the team.

872
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: But as Bill Parcels once famously said, and as coaches

873
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: in football specifically, have gained much more juice in baseball,

874
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: most of these guys make like nine dollars, but all

875
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: the new coaches do, and the GM's run the sport.

876
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: In basketball, more and more, these NBA gms are telling

877
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: the coaches exactly what to do. In football, the coach,

878
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: he runs the team. So as like Parcels said, you

879
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: want me to make dinner, you gotta let me cook

880
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: the groceries. And when you pay a coach eight nine

881
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: ten million dollars, like Joe Douglas last year, I heard

882
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of money when he became the GM

883
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: of the Jets, it was like three and a half

884
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: million dollars, maybe three point seven million dollars. There's not

885
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: an NFL coach who doesn't make over four and a half.

886
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: Most like Cliff Kingsbury and Joe Judge make like six, right,

887
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: and all the top guys make nine plus. So you

888
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: just that's why players have more pull than coaches, right,

889
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: They just make more money. Just follow the money podcast question.

890
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: Do you think Ryan Tannehill is a top ten quarterback

891
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: in the A f C coward said he wasn't on

892
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: his show, and I don't think he could be anymore wrong.

893
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: Tanny Hill is a better career passing passer rating than

894
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. See like when you give me stats like that,

895
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck was a vastly superior player, had the fourth

896
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: highest passer rating of all time last season and had

897
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: more touchdowns and yards than Patrick Mahomes in weeks ten

898
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: through seventeen. I think he gets blamed too much for

899
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: his time with Adam Gaine and no help in Miami.

900
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: I will agree tanny Hill is a good player. Is

901
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: he a top ten player in the f C? Let's

902
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: do the exercise I'd say right now, he's better than

903
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's better than Sam Donald Uh. If Cam

904
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: Newton's healthy, obviously Cam's better, but he hasn't been healthy.

905
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: And to Uh and Fitzpatrick, he's better than those two

906
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: guys the f C North. Yeah, he's better than Baker.

907
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: He's better than Joe Burrow hasn't played a snap. I mean,

908
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: if Roethlisberger is healthy, he's better. Yeah, he's He's a

909
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback in the f C. But the f C,

910
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean there's sixteen teams, right so besides, like Mahomes, Roethlisberger,

911
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: Lamar is Philip Rivers the top ten player right now?

912
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: I I take Tanny Hill. Tanny Hill was way better

913
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: than Philip Rivers last year. So yeah, I mean he's Hey,

914
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: that was a good player. I I do think we

915
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: need to see a little bit more this year because

916
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: there were times when they won games and he through

917
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: like eight yards. Now, part of it is your running

918
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: backs going for two bills and your defense is playing well.

919
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame the quarterback for that. Is

920
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: he is he a top ten overall NFL quarterback? I

921
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Is he a top ten quarterback in the

922
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: f C for sure. I mean, look at Tyrod Taylor

923
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: and Herbert Carr the lock. I mean there's there's a

924
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: lot of unknown in the a f C. Shaun's Watson's better, Uh,

925
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: Minshew's not better. Rivers, you know, in theory, has been

926
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot better over his career, but he was Rivers

927
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: might be shot. Even though it was weird, the Colts

928
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: tweeted out a video of Rivers showing up to work.

929
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: It was weird seeing Philip Rivers and Colts coolers. How

930
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: will the loss of Norv Turner impact Christian McCaffrey seemed

931
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: like NORV scheme had a lot to do with his success.

932
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: Most of McCaffrey's highlights in two thousand nineteen were long

933
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: runs through gaping holes in the defense. First Jacksonville, McCaffrey

934
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: scores on an eighty four yard run. Later in the

935
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 1: gear in the game, Carolina runs the exact same play

936
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 1: and Reggie scores on at nine yard run. Well, say

937
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 1: what you want about NORV Turner as a head coach,

938
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: he's a fantastic coordinator and when you look at his

939
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: resume over the years, he's been really good with running backs.

940
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever heard of this guy

941
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: named Emmett Smith coached him in uh with the with

942
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys back in the day. Like North Turner

943
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Clinton portis right with the Washington Redskins.

944
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: He had some of the latter years with LT and

945
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: then he got Ryan Matthews. Uh. But yeah, North Turners

946
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: just North Turns a good coach when it comes to

947
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: calling offense. Joe Brady. My question is with Joe Brady

948
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: is what he did with l s U was unreal

949
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: even though the older coach like they were co coordinators.

950
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: Though Joe got a lot of credit in the passing game,

951
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: you could say Joe Burrow was the you know. I mean,

952
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: they got two star wide receivers, they gotta they got

953
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: a running back. They went the first round of the

954
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs. They had a couple of lineman drafted

955
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: that let's see what you do now, Christian McCaffrey. They

956
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: got DJ Moore. Is their offensive line any good? I'd

957
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: lean know. Uh, they got rid of Greg Olsen. I

958
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: guess they signed Robby Anderson from the Jets. I don't know.

959
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be hard for Christian McCaffrey. He was,

960
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: and listen, I thought he was a top five non

961
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. Last year. He was a dominant

962
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: player on a shitty team. To It's gonna be difficult

963
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: to match that, especially when they identify him. They're all

964
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: coming after him. There's gonna be a lot of pressure

965
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: on Teddy Bridgewater because if I was playing Carolina and

966
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to be Vic Fangio here, twenty two

967
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: is not beating me. Teddy Bridgewater, You're gonna have to

968
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: beat me, because I don't think you can. Today, I

969
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: heard you talk about your unpaid internship with Kansas City

970
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: and how beneficial it was for your career. Have you

971
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: ever thought about bringing interns like myself to help with

972
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: content or marketing? I think this could provide some great

973
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: insight into the opinions of someone from a younger demographic.

974
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: On top of the feedback you already get from the

975
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: mail bag, do you ever decide to open up applications?

976
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Please let me know. Have a great day. Um advertising

977
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: student at the University of Oklahoma College of Journalism. That's

978
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: pretty sweet. It's gonna happen one day. This thing is

979
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: expanding as in the middle of Corona right now and

980
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. Look for two thousand, twenty

981
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 1: one and beyond. But there will become a time when, Yeah,

982
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: we're hiring into ears, I'm hiring interns, so that that's

983
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: gonna happen one day. I don't know exactly when, maybe

984
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: two years down the road, maybe a year. Luckily, as

985
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: of right now, I can function. But trust me, I

986
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: understand the more people around you, especially younger people, keep

987
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: you locked into things. I like surrounding myself with younger people.

988
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: I like surrounding myself with people. I see too many

989
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: people in the media right now just depend on social

990
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: media for their opinions, no, no diversity of thought. I

991
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: like knowing actual humans. So I like having my ears

992
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: to the street and because that's what I am, just

993
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: a normal I started as a fan, and I think

994
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the media have lost touch

995
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: with that. And I think it's why we can have

996
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: success on this show, because we speak for the people,

997
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: and I think too many people in the media do not.

998
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 1: But yes, I will one day. I will have interns

999
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: on a specific date when that's happening. No clue, don't

1000
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: need him right now, and just so much is up

1001
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: in the air financially with Corona and just when you

1002
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: in the podcast business advertise in business, there's just a

1003
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts right now. If this was you know,

1004
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: in two or three years, who knows, maybe we've got

1005
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: like ten employees here, little little middlecoff mail back crew.

1006
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: I'm a die hard Bears fan, so the bulk of

1007
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: my fandom has been pretty dark. I keep having this

1008
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: image of Traubinsky getting let go from the Bears and

1009
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: going somewhere like New England or San Diego and killing it. However,

1010
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,240
Speaker 1: he seems to lack in deep ball accuracy and decision

1011
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: making that won't change on another team. My question is

1012
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: this Troubinsky's career doomed if he can't figure it out

1013
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 1: this year in Chicago. Here's what I do know. Matt

1014
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: Naggie was around Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Alex Smith and

1015
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and all those guys had success when he

1016
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: was around him, either as a quarterback coach or a coordinator,

1017
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: and Mitch dramatically got worse he was you know, Baker Mayfield.

1018
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: There's a small group of players the Pittsburgh Steeler crew

1019
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: that were just terrible quarterback last year, and Mitch was

1020
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: a ocious and now they went eight and eight. But

1021
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: they went seven and eight. The last game didn't count

1022
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: because Minnesota was benching their players. I thought Mitchell was

1023
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: good in college. I liked them as a college prospect.

1024
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was a guy like you would take

1025
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: in the late twenties. Now would I have taken him

1026
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: at two overall? No, But I didn't think he would

1027
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: be this bad. He is a good athlete. His deep

1028
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: ball accuracy and just his just his instincts for playing

1029
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: the position are shitty. So is that something that you

1030
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: can develop? It gets harder when you you know, third

1031
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: fourth year in the NFL, he's now going into his

1032
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: He's been a two year starter, and because of Corona,

1033
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's the starter a week one. You know,

1034
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: be hard for Nick Foles to beat him out with

1035
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: no preseason games. But I guess you can never say never.

1036
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: I would say more likely than not that Mr. Bisky

1037
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: is just a a bust. He just will never live

1038
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: up to that and it won't be a starter again.

1039
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers been my favorite player in the league for

1040
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: a decade. However, I can admit to you that he

1041
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been the same player since getting injured in seventeen.

1042
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: His mechanics have gotten extremely sloppy, throwing off his back foot,

1043
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: consistently holding the ball too long, etcetera. What do you

1044
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: think the reason behind this is? As a big fan

1045
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers, it's really frustrating to watch him weekly

1046
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: when I feel like the issues could be solvable. Also,

1047
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: what's your favorite bet at the p g A. My

1048
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: favorite bet at the PGA would probably be John Rahm

1049
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: and Bryce and d Shambo. So if you bet a

1050
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, uh, you know, let's say a hundred dollars

1051
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: in your normal bet, I would probably put fifty on

1052
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: each of those guys. It's I played the I played

1053
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: Harding Park multiple times this year. It's a shorter golf course.

1054
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: The rough is outrageous. So if you can just bomb it,

1055
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: even if you're in the rough, you're gonna have wedges

1056
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: in your hand, You're gonna have a chance. Now the

1057
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: rough is like fifteen feet high. It's like I played

1058
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: it like a month and a half ago. I lost

1059
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: like four balls and I'm like a single digit handy.

1060
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: It was if I was playing a real a real

1061
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: tournament on that day, I would have struggled to break

1062
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: ninety and is the Greens were slow at the time.

1063
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: It was the rough, longest rough I've ever played. Uh,

1064
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: I would say this for Aaron Rodgers besides Brett Farve,

1065
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,959
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, all the best quarterbacks, the elite guys

1066
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking Steve Young, uh Aikman to Peyton Manning, Tom Brady,

1067
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: Drew Brees have all been fundamentally sound, like their basic fundamentals,

1068
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: Like when you think Tom Brady and Peyton Manning like

1069
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: I think fundamentals. Footwork, perfect ball placement, perfect eyes perfect,

1070
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: everything is perfect, even like Rivers in his prime. A

1071
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 1: lot of the pocket quarterbacks, their fundamentals are good because

1072
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: to sustain over a period of time, it's hard to

1073
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: get away with bad fundamentals, you know, even like Lebron

1074
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: James and like great players and Michael Jordan. Look at

1075
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's like just YouTube, Michael Jordan's his footwork, his

1076
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: just body and balanced control was just all stuff you

1077
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: learn at the most basic levels of the sport, like

1078
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: tiger Woods, like any in any sport, the best players

1079
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: always have the best fundamentals. Aaron Rodgers kind of, like

1080
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: a farv was an all time freak, right, he was

1081
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: a big time athlete who could had elite arm strength

1082
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: and could make throws that like that Manning and Brady

1083
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: could never make on the move. Well, you're not able

1084
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: to do that. When you can do it thirty years old,

1085
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna be able to do it thirty

1086
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: eight years old. Just think anyone listening who is now

1087
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: in their thirty five plus, think how your body feels

1088
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: after like working out, and how it felt when you

1089
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: were like in your twenties. Just human nature. It's no

1090
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: different for elite athletes, right, It's just it's eventually going

1091
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: to come back to the earth a little bit. And

1092
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that his arm strength and I've equated

1093
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: to this in Aaron Rodgers peak, he was like Mahoms.

1094
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: He was throwing like a hundred miles an hour or

1095
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: far and could just and was more accurate than far Of.

1096
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: It was just it was stupid. Well, he doesn't throw that.

1097
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: If he's a picture, he's instead of throwing a hunter,

1098
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: he's probably throwing ninety five. So his fundamentals and his footwork,

1099
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: if he's throwing everything off his back foot and sideways.

1100
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: He misses a lot of guys now that he used

1101
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: to just hit, and it's just because of his fundamentals

1102
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: are shitty, and there's a reason. Like the ten year

1103
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: old dog, you ain't teaching new tricks to, but you

1104
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: can influence a one year old and two year old

1105
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: the young dogs, you can influence young players. Aaron Rodgers

1106
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: at thirty seven years old, with an unlimited bank account

1107
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: and a Hall of Fame career, is not changing his fundamentals.

1108
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: His fundamentals are what they are. They're bad. They're not

1109
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: good now that he was. It's actually incredible that he

1110
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: overcame bad fundamentals for a long time. Like you watch

1111
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: Steph Curry in the peak of his powers, like he

1112
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: could kind of freelance and do things that guys could

1113
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: get away with. The older Steph gets he's gonna have

1114
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 1: to be a little smarter. His athleticism is gonna diminish.

1115
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be quite as quick now. His shooting

1116
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: is not gonna diminish, just like Aaron can still throw

1117
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: the ball, but it's not probably gonna be as potent

1118
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: as it once was. So being smart with the ball,

1119
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: not trying things that are you know, unhumanly possible. Something

1120
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes like, Mahomes can't get away with stuff in his

1121
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: twenties that he's not gonna be able to get away

1122
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: with when he's thirty five. It's why Andy and when

1123
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: Naggie was there and Beach like they are gonna hammer

1124
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes on the fundamentals now. Part of when you have

1125
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: a guy in the peak of his powers, like Rogers

1126
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: seven eight years ago, sometimes you gotta let a chef cook,

1127
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: but eventually it's on that guy to play kind of

1128
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: under control. And I just don't think Aaron can now.

1129
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: He's still a I have buddies in the league that

1130
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: think he's still like a top three or four quarterback.

1131
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: Thought they were only beside my Homes a guy better

1132
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: late in games last year, but he also just put

1133
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: them in positions when he played bad games that they had.

1134
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: He had to put games out of you know, pull

1135
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: a rabbit out of his head because he was really bad.

1136
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: I remember that Lions game was a Week sixteen or

1137
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, just missing guys wide open, just because like

1138
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: Aaron just step into the throw, but he can't because

1139
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: he's developed bad habits. Anyone played golf like, once you

1140
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: develop bad habits, it's hard to break it. Just bad

1141
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: habits and anything like, if you're not used to washing dishes,

1142
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: and you know, for forty years of your life, and

1143
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: then you get a girlfriend, you're forty, it's probably not

1144
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna be easy to just start washing dishes. Like, developing

1145
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: good habits are a big part of successful people, whether

1146
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: it's in business, whether it's in relationships, whether it's in football.

1147
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers, for the most part, some of his

1148
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: just most basic fundamentals are not great. It actually is

1149
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: a testament to how elite of a talent he was.

1150
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: Right Cardinal Fan, I felt the only year the Cardinals

1151
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: had a great opportunity to win the Super Bowl was

1152
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: when Carson Palmer blew out his knee. I agree it sucked,

1153
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: but I instinctively thought the cards should rebuild the window closed.

1154
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Had too many veterans and decent up and coming players. Obviously,

1155
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,479
Speaker 1: they kept pushing for the Super Bowl, but I felt

1156
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: they did more damage than good for their players and organizations.

1157
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Why do teams continue to push for Super Bowl when

1158
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: it's obviously over. Why do people in toxic relationships continue

1159
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: to hold on because you're holding onto hope for something

1160
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: that like, deep down your gut, you know, but it's

1161
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: it's really hard to admit anything's over. I think the

1162
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: hardest thing to do in life is to admit something's over,

1163
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: especially when you've had success. So when you've had a

1164
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: good time with her, when you have a business partnership

1165
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: that's been lucrative, when you have a football team that's

1166
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: been really close, it's hard to look in the mirror

1167
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: and say this ain't working. It's easy for us on

1168
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: the outside to say it and listen, I've made a

1169
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: living off being critical of of teams and coaches. It

1170
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: is difficult, though, And when you have a window and

1171
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: you think you're close and your coach, I mean, Bruce

1172
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Arians was in the sixties. Would be one thing. If

1173
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians was forty two in the sixties and health problems,

1174
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: so you know he ain't getting any younger. It's like,

1175
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: why did Peat Carroll and those guys just trade? Well,

1176
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Pea Carroll sixty eight years old. Do you think Pete

1177
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: Carroll gives a shit about a first rounder in two years?

1178
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: By the time that guy is good, he'll be seventy

1179
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: three years old. It's about here and now in the NFL,

1180
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: things changed so quickly. You know, the top guys always

1181
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: believe they can coach a guy up. They always believe

1182
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: just keep the pedal in the metal and give themselves

1183
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 1: a chance, you know, to win a ring that most

1184
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: of these guys will never win. But I think it

1185
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: helps them sleep at night thinking whether they're right or wrong.

1186
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: They're doing everything possible to attempt to win a ring

1187
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: that year, because in the NFL, you can't waste a

1188
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: year because you'll get fired. Appreciate everyone listening, uh and

1189
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed this podcast. I kind of kind of get my

1190
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: juices back. The NFL is back, was getting just the

1191
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: monotony of just talking about the same crap over and over.

1192
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: I feel like we're getting some new stuff and some

1193
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: normal stories. Now it's gonna be interesting. Like I said

1194
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: with the story, he's coming out during training camp, and

1195
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be a typical year, you know,

1196
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: of just who's starting who's not. But it's gonna be

1197
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: a it's gonna be a lot of Corona talk, which

1198
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't love, but it is what it is right now.

1199
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: And enjoy the week, and I'll see you Friday. Peo
