00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: to bring you content twice a week here, Richard. But

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: let's let's get into the season a little bit. You know,

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: we've made it almost all the way through training camp.

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy G feeling Oh wait, sorry, sorry, I'm gonna start

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: right there. Let's start in the NFC West. Let's start

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: with your two former teams, the Seattle Seahawks and and

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: most notably the San Francisco forty Niners. Let's start right there.

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Let's start with Jimmy G and the quarterback situation with

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. Well, I think it is the best

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: case scenario for everybody involved. I think it's one of

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: those situations where somebody for the first time ever had

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: their cake and got to eat it too, Like, what

60
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: are we dealing with? And then there are people complaining saying, hey,

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: it's so terrible for Tray Lance, But they were the

62
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: same people that were sitting there like, well, what what

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: happens if Trey Lance isn't ready? What happens if if

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: he gets hurt? Then you got nobody. You're out there

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: with somebody who's pretty good. Um No, you got Jimmy

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: g who would have been the number one backup to

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: any other quarterback in this league, except he's a starter.

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: He's a guy who just went to then NFC Championship

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: last year. There's no other backup quarterback in the National

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: Football League right now who could say that. I mean,

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: you've got a situation in Carolina, or you're paying two

72
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: guys over fifteen million dollars and there's questions whether either

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: of them can get the job done. Like, there's definitely

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: questions on whether either of those guys can get them

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. But then you've got people complaining

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: about a situation where they have two guys they believe

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: you can get him there. Richard, you said it like

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: he is the consummate pro. He's one of the best

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: teammates you've ever played with. We've talked about this on

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: and off air. This speaks to who Jimmy G is

81
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: as a professional. I mean, he's done this throughout his

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: entire career. When you signed with the forty Niners, I

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: thought you were batshi crazy. I thought you were absolutely nuts.

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: You told me, Mitch, Jimmy G is gonna win the

85
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: forty Niners a title, And I said, Richard, are you insane?

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: And then what do you know? I mean, granted, you

87
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: guys didn't win, you were seven minutes, but you were

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: in the position to win it. And now the forty

89
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Niners are in a what you call championship window at

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: this moment. I think everyone and their mother is aware

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: of that. Why not keep the guy around to head

92
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: your bet in the event trade fails exactly? Why not

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: head your Why not have two engines? Hey, I got

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: a Ferrari and I just got this freaking brand new

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: engines seven horsepower. Now I got another engine that's about

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: five hundred horsepower. I know it's I've had it for years.

97
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I get. But this one can

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: really take me there. Now. I don't know if it's

99
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna blow out on the road. I don't know if

100
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna if it's gonna slow down. I don't know

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: if a Pistons gonna go out. I don't know what's

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen, but I know it's faster. So they put

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: that engine in, So why not keep the other one.

104
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to throw the other one away. If

105
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: it's if you can afford to keep both, then you

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: keep both. Jimmy's happy with it, Trays happy with the

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: only people that aren't happy with it are the people

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: on outside. They're like, oh, what if they what if

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: they don't do well? Well? What if they do well?

110
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: What if they go undefeated in the first five games?

111
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: And he's not looking over his shoulder and they're just

112
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: supporting each other like great teammates. The thing about this

113
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: for Niners team that note that that nobody's mentioning it's

114
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: a team for the great people. That's the part you're

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: not mentioning, Like these aren't selfish people. You don't hear

116
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot of me me, me, me me guys in

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: that locker room, and Jimmy's the last one who would

118
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: be that way. So they about team teammate then self

119
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: So people are like, why isn't Jimmy saying something? Why

120
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: isn't he getting upset. Why isn't he saying trade me

121
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: and do all this Because the philosophy is team teammate, self,

122
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: self is third. When you teach that philosophy and you

123
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: have that culture, then guys aren't thinking me first. Hey,

124
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: if this is what's best for the team, this is

125
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna wait for my opportunity.

126
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: If my opportunity comes, I'm gonna step up and do

127
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: what I need to do to help my guys get

128
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: to another Super Bowl. And Richard, you were a part

129
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: of that. And again when you went to San France

130
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: leaving Seattle, which was another family focused organization, obviously treated

131
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: everyone amazingly there, but when you went to San Francisco,

132
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: it was that same same type of organization and honestly

133
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: blew me away. I know that you loved Kyle Shannan's

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: coaching philosophy, similar to Pete Carroll's the Best Man Place.

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you paid d forward twenty million

136
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: dollars a year as your defensive en. The best Man

137
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: Place and that competition that is bread throughout training, camp

138
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: and practice. I know ignites your competitive fire. Doesn't matter

139
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: if you're fourth under the depth charter. First, you're always

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: playing for your job, and Richard, I mean, here we

141
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: go again. Tray Lance and Jimmy g are now going

142
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: to be competing on a day and day out basis,

143
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see who provides him to the best

144
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: opportunity to win. It could be worse, but see that.

145
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: That's why I disagree, because they're not gonna be competing.

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: It's trade's job. It's trade's job, and that's what makes

147
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: the dynamic easier for everybody. It's trade's job. Cal established

148
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of training camp. He established that

149
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of training camp. He re established it

150
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: last week, like it's trade's job. Jimmy's the backup. When

151
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: you established that, then there isn't the uncertainty, There isn't

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: the drama, There isn't the whispers. Now sure, there's human nature.

153
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: There's human nature with everybody. You can you can speculate

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: human nature till the end of time. Like, hey, if

155
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: he missed his kittle on on this route, our debo

156
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: gets upset our end and I you kidn't getting the

157
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: ball as much? What if that happens in Jimmy's playing,

158
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Like if if if if if was a fifth, we'd

159
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: all be drunk, blackout, drunk. We'd be on the sidewalk

160
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: like ain't no if great teammates, they're gonna support the

161
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: guy as they have been. Things aren't gonna go perfect.

162
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: There will be adversity, there will be ups, there would

163
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: be down. They will support each other. Jimmy will support Tray.

164
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Tray will support Jimmy. The offense, the weapons they have,

165
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: You got Trim Williams, you got leadership. You got a

166
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: foundation on that team that can weather the storm. That

167
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: will be the media more than it will be the team,

168
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: the human highlight, real Trent Williams himself, Richard, Let's stay

169
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: within the division. Things could be worse right your former team,

170
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. To me, you're talking about having a somewhat

171
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches with Trey Lance and Jimmy g and

172
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: then you fold over to Seattle. What are they dealing with?

173
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Who do you honestly like in that QB competition? I

174
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: know Gino Smith was just named the starter over Drew Lock.

175
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't think Drew Lock took that very happily. Do

176
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: you think that situation was handled h appropriately? And what

177
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: do you think of the Seattle situation, Seattle Seahawks team

178
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: right now, I think they went with safe and predictable,

179
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: and the guy knew the playbook. Gino did well in

180
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: the last the three games he had to play last year.

181
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Pete is very turnover a verse. Uh, turnover a verse

182
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: is what I'll call it, because he does not want

183
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: to turn the football over, and Gino does not turn

184
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: the football over very often. You know, he doesn't take

185
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: the same risk as somebody like Drew Lock, but high risk,

186
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: high reward. Drew Lock threw some touchdown passes in the preseason,

187
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: was impressive at times. If you put a highlight reel

188
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: of his positive place versus a highlight real Geno's positive place,

189
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: there would be a disparity. But then on the flip side,

190
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: you take a highlight reel of the negative place of both,

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: there will be a disparity. And so I think Pete

192
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to risk that kind of volatility, and Drew

193
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: Lock didn't have a of time to learn to playbook.

194
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: They were traded right before training camp. It was an

195
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: unfair situation because he didn't have a truly true fair

196
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: shot at winning the starting job. There was enough time

197
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: he didn't get enough reps with the ones. He didn't

198
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: the one game he was gonna start in the preseason,

199
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: good Night caught Covid. Like it almost seemed like everything

200
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: was working against them. So it's just unfortunate set of circumstances.

201
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're married to Gino in a

202
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: way that they will not pull him if they are

203
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: not doing well early on the season. Richard, I, I

204
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: want to know what's your forecast for Seattle. Where do

205
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: you see this season going for them? My forecast, it's

206
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: the great unknown, you know. At something part of me

207
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: tells me that he's gonna find a way to be

208
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: competitive and surprising people and and put off five Hunter.

209
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: Something else tells me it could be a rough year.

210
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: It could be a rough year, you know. I just

211
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: don't see Pete going idly into the night. They got

212
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: a good running game, they got three really good running

213
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: back stake down two tackles in the draft, rookies that

214
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: performed at outstanding in the preseason. Like it's gonna be

215
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: a big problem for him later if there are as

216
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: good as they've been in the preseason during the regular season,

217
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: because in the next couple of years, and you having

218
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: to pay two tackles is just oh my goodness, it's

219
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: a good problem to have them. Um. But if they

220
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: found gold there, then they'll have a chance because you

221
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: gotta be able to protective quarterback. They have the weapons

222
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: on the outside and k and and lock it. They

223
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: have some weapons that tidy end. They have running. They

224
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: have a running game. I mean Penny was in the

225
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: last five games, I mean the last six games, I

226
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: think he ran for one fifty five times. Like that's

227
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: something you can lean on. Now. Defensively, they're gonna have

228
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: to pull it together. You got got Quandre Diggs, you

229
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: got likely a rookie corner, ricky sixth round corner starting,

230
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: which I know a little something about. I'm gonna go

231
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: see the kid later on today and have a conversation

232
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: with them and try to, you know, give in part

233
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: my little two sense of wisdom. But I think they

234
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: could have a chance. They have rushers, they have out rusher.

235
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: It's just too many question marks though, you know, in

236
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: question marks aren't always a bad thing. But in this league,

237
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a rough start to the season. They're

238
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna have some tough ballgames. I think they got Denver first.

239
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: If they can somehow pull off that game, I mean

240
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of optimists we wanted to

241
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: the future if they don't, depending on how they do.

242
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a close game, still will be optimism.

243
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: If it's a blowout, people gonna be ready. To Melody

244
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: Richard in the Season of bold predictions, I got a

245
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: bold prediction for you. Kenneth Walker the third will be

246
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: an absolute staple in this league for years to come.

247
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: As soon as he gets over this little hernia injuries deal.

248
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: What I think that they're going to have a one

249
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: to combo and Rashad Penny and Kenneth Walk with the third.

250
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I know a thing or two about Kenneth Walker the third.

251
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: We've been talked about this rich He's in a perfect

252
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: position to go be mode and that offense. If they

253
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: can find some level of consistency at the quarterback position,

254
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: like you said, they got all the weapons in the

255
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: world he can have, they can have a field day.

256
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: And if they're running the ball fifty percent of the

257
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: time like Pete Carroll loves to do, who knows what happened,

258
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: Maybe they do, maybe they do hit five and I

259
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: think that would be an outstanding season. They're not gonna

260
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: be running fifty percent of the time and they're gonna

261
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: be running the six. They're gonna they're gonna try to

262
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: run it as much as they can because the best

263
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: defense you could have, it's a great run game. Shorten

264
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: the game for your defense. Hey, there's two different defenses.

265
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: When a defense is playing thirty minutes versus the defense

266
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: playing forty minutes, a defense playing twenty five minutes is

267
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: much better than a defense playing thirty five minutes because

268
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: they're on the field for less time. They have less

269
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: opportunities to give up big place, less opportunities to give

270
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: up yards. That's what Pete Carroll has always known, and

271
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: that's why they will run the ball this year as

272
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: much as they possibly can, put Geno Smith in a

273
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: position where he does not have to be superman, and

274
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: give their defense a chance to make stops. They may

275
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: leak on defense, they'll get in the red zone and

276
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: they'll stand up. It's all about stand on top, limit

277
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: the big plays and stand up in the red zone.

278
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: If they can do those things, which are staples and

279
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: peak Carroll's philosophy, they'll have a chance to win most

280
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: of the games. That they're in now. He does come

281
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: down to talent. Sometimes there will be games where they

282
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: will just be out talented, you know. I mean, there's

283
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: no coaching, there's no there's nothing you can do when

284
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: the other team just has more better players than you have.

285
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: But in situations where the talent is equal, they'll have shot. Richard.

286
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Let's just kind of get into some some predictions leading

287
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: into the season. We're gonna stay in the NFC West.

288
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: Who do you think comes out of that division arguably

289
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: the best division of football San Francisco for nuners. San

290
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Francisco for a nuners come out of that division In

291
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, why why not the Rams? I think

292
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: it's the glaring question there. Well, because the Rams are

293
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: one in six against San Francisco forty niners and dropped

294
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: interception away from being only seven and the last seven meetings,

295
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be tough to overcome. I mean, they

296
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: won the one that they needed. They wont a NFC

297
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: championship to go to the Super Bowl. If you could

298
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: have anyone, I'm sure both teams would just pick that one.

299
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: I just don't see them beating them consistently this year. Uh,

300
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: because San Francisco has arguably gotten better. Let's to move

301
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: down south, NFC South. You've got an old team there too,

302
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: in the Tampa Bay Box. Talk about that division. I'm

303
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna go out of the limb here and say that

304
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick the box to win the division. So

305
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: let's just get that out of the way. Um, talk

306
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: about that team. What do you see their record being?

307
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: I think is what they're gonna consistently be at for

308
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: most people. I mean twelve the five maybe, you know,

309
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: with the old line situation being kind of influx, they're

310
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: losing the center of a week, it seems like that's

311
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna matter. They've had some continuity on the offensive line

312
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: for the last at least Tom's time there. Um, and

313
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: losing Ryan Jensen early on in training camp and his

314
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: backups being a little beat up already, it's gonna leave

315
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: some question marks. So if they can find a way

316
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: to solidify that the inside of that offensive line, then

317
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: I think they're thirteen and four, no no questions about it.

318
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: You know they have enough talent on defense. Shack Barrett

319
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: is a is a monster. You got Devin White, you

320
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: got you got guys all over on all three levels

321
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: of the defense. Lavonte David, Carlton Davis, who just signed

322
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: a big deal. You got Winfield Jr. You've got so

323
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: many guys who who can make plays and make a

324
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: difference on that defense. And offensively, I mean Quintaurus Julio Jones.

325
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: You know you're not gonna want for for a receiver

326
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: from that group. You got three thousand yard receivers. You

327
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: got Rudolph Who's who's you know, not Gronk, nobody's drown,

328
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: but he's a big body that that Tom Brady can

329
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: use in the situations in the same ways that he

330
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: was trying able to use ground Um if he can

331
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: teach him, you know. And in the running game, you know,

332
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: Lenny for Net, he's gonna do what he's done for

333
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: them for the last couple of years, is to be

334
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: incredibly consistent in both aspects of the game. Anytime you

335
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: have purists Julio Jones on your team as your wide

336
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: receiver four or whatever he is on the depth chart,

337
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, God bless good luck to those opposing defenses.

338
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: Imagine being a rookie corner and you come in and

339
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: dime and you're like, all right, who I gotta guard?

340
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: And it's Julio Jones, Like who wants to deal with that?

341
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: You're like nobody's fourth corner and they're like Julio's lost step.

342
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: I don't care. He had five steps to lose before

343
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: he got a regular, like he was an alien. He

344
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: is an alien, like you talked about it. He could

345
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: lose three steps and still be top ten. He's the

346
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: thoroughest of thoroughbred horses, dude, Like straight up, I mean,

347
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I remember your guys battles in Seattle, like it was

348
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: just watching you knew right then. And there you're watching

349
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: in front of you two Hall of famers, Like it's

350
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: just you see him on tape. In person, he's just

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: it out different. Good luck to that rookie sixth round

352
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: right right right, he's gonna have fun. Oh my goodness, Rich,

353
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: I gotta be biased here. We gotta move up North.

354
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: We gotta move up to the NFC North. I got

355
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: one ass, cheek and three toes, Rich, I'll beat your ass.

356
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions and Dan Campbell, Man Campbell, Dan Campbell MotorCity,

357
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, Detroit Lions have any shot in hell at

358
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: the NFC North. What do they call it? A puncher's chance,

359
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: are a fighter ship a puncher's chance, Yeah, I think

360
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: of something like that. I think they got that because

361
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: they got the offensive weapons. Jared Golf, you know, the

362
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: very much maligned Jared Golf and and the stuff he gets.

363
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: But he's really really solid. You know, he's not he's

364
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: not a world beater, but he can get the job

365
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: done at a high level. He's above average quarterback in

366
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: national football. They can he has above average weapons um

367
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: right now, and that's quietly as his cap. They've slowly

368
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: but surely solived five that offensive line, and I think

369
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: they have enough playmakers on defense, um Aidan Hutchinson. They

370
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: started to develop a bit of a pass rush there.

371
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: In a pass rush helps your secondary. Jeff Accuda looked, look,

372
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, let me you know what I mean, very

373
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic. Looked like he could do the job that

374
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: he's been asked to do, that he has not been

375
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: able to do in previous years. Looked you worried, sir,

376
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: and now if they can just be solid and aspects

377
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: of the game that that seemed to be the things

378
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: that Dan Campbell is harping on the foundational fundamentals of

379
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: the game. When you can be great at those things,

380
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: you will always have a chance to win. And I

381
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: think at the end, during the end of the season

382
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: last year, they started to to mature, they start to jail,

383
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: they started to come together, they started to have fun,

384
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: and it seemed to translate into the preseason now. Doing

385
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: updowns and bearcross and stuff at practice. Not my style,

386
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: but the players still seem to love the guy. You're

387
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: looking on hard knocks. They're laughing, they they you know,

388
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: everybody's positive. There's energy in the building. We'll see how

389
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: it translates. Well, Richard, you heard it here first, guys.

390
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman predicts a sixteen in one season the Detroit Lions. Mr.

391
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: Got a gun to my head. I couldn't do it.

392
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna stay in the division. I know

393
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: you've got a tremendous amount of respect for Aaron Rodgers,

394
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions arch nemesis. What does Aaron Rodgers game

395
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: look like without Davonte Adams There is the main question

396
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: heading into this season. It looks like it's a question. Um,

397
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: he's still He's still the Hall of Fame quarterback in

398
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: the most talented arm I've ever seen in the national

399
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: food ever seen period in national football. I ain't seen

400
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: it on any field, but it looks different. You know,

401
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: the chemistry report that they had is just different than

402
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: anything we've seen from any other team in any other combination.

403
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: And you've seen the inconsistency from the wide receiver group

404
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: and the frustration that he's had so far in Green Bay.

405
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: And that's what's concerning so rich. I mean, obviously Aaron

406
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: Rodgers having to overcome the lack of offensive levels he

407
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: said in the past. You see them still coming away

408
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: with this division. Yeah, I still think that. You know,

409
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying that division is a

410
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: cake walk. I mean, you know, Detroit is gonna gonna

411
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: be a lot better this year. There you go, You're welcome.

412
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: Um Minnesota, you know, always has a chance. You know,

413
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: they have a ton of talent on offense, obviously Kevin

414
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: O'Connell being there, and and you know the West Coast

415
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: offense and them scheming people up as McVeigh and Kyle

416
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: shanahan have with those with that offensive system in Chicago.

417
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: Justin fields, the last game look like a look like

418
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: a national look like a problem. Really, I mean, looks

419
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: like an issue. Can they protect him long enough to

420
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: be an issue? It's probably going to be an issue,

421
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: But you know I'm here all week. I still I

422
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: still got Green Bay walking away with it um comfortably. Richard.

423
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: I respect your analysis, but there are flaws to it,

424
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: and I I just sent from your opinion. I think

425
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: this is the one year and this is spoken like

426
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: a true Homer who's been watching all the hard knocks

427
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: and drinking all the Honolula blue kool aid. I think

428
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions are gonna win the division and host

429
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: the host a playoff game for the first time. I

430
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: think I gotta fact check this for the first time

431
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. So that is my bold prediction from

432
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: that conference. Richard. Let's keep it moving on. We got

433
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: the NFC East next. I just want I want to

434
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: make sure I don't see any drugs in the background.

435
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Open You're more than welcome to invite anyone over and

436
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: search the house. Thinking about it, Richard, We're gonna move on.

437
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: We've covered the We've covered an NFC WEY South and

438
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: UH and North. Let's move to the NFC East. Just

439
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: give me a quick who's gonna win and why? And

440
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: we'll keep the stray movement. I don't know who's gonna

441
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: win the NFC East. I don't think it will matter. Uh,

442
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: I do then matter? Since the Philadelphia Eagles won the

443
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that year, UM, the East hasn't been very

444
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: relevant in terms of the playoffs unfortunately in the offense hashtag.

445
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, the Dallas Cowboys has to have one of

446
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: the best seasons they've had in a long time and

447
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: then get to the playoffs and get Kyle shanahand or

448
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: they will be mcbaide, you know, whichever, whichever one they

449
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: run into first. And the Philadelphia Eagles, I think we'll

450
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: deal with the same thing. You know, I just don't

451
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: see them having enough to get into playoffs and beat

452
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: one of those teams. And those of the teams you'll

453
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: have to beat our Green Bay, you know, or they

454
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: will have to go to Lambeau and beat Green Bay

455
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: and I you know, I just think those are difficult

456
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: things to do. And if they do that at the

457
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: surprise Moving on, irrelevant. NFCS irrelevant in the grand discussion

458
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: of things. Let's move to the FC. We have a

459
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: juggernaut of a conference in the a f C West. Yes,

460
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson goes to the dever Broncos Broncos Country, Let's

461
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: ride maybe. What do you see the Broncos doing this

462
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: year with Russell at the helm. You know, they'll be solid,

463
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, I it'd be surprising. Again, it'd be surprising

464
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: to see them win that division, to be really surprising

465
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: with the amount of talent that is in l A

466
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: with the Chargers and the amount of great coaching and

467
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: consistency that's in Kansas City. You know, no matter what,

468
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City is going to have a great scheme. They're

469
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna scheme guys open. They'll still have Travis Kelsey to

470
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: still have Mahomes, who is one of the most talented

471
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the National Football League. So no matter what

472
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: they do, it'll be tough sledding in there within their

473
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: own division. And you're not even going to talk about

474
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: the schedule that they have when they have to deal

475
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: with San Francisco forty niners in the Rams, you know,

476
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC West, it's gonna be it's gonna be

477
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: a tough road for them, you know, if they can

478
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: come out. That's why it's so crazy. You know that

479
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: Russell chose that conference. I mean, that division is only

480
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: in that conference for that matter, you know, because to

481
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: get out of that conference, to get out of that

482
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: conference with a championship, you likely have to go through

483
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: two or three of the top five quarterbacks in National

484
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: Football League at any given time. And you really honestly

485
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: might have two of me in your division. And so

486
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: for him to challenge himself like that is admirable, you know.

487
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: So if they go out there in the Denver Broncos

488
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: pull off a division championship and win a Super Bowl

489
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: out of that division and maybe one of the greatest

490
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: compliments anybody has done in a very long time, and

491
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: and it would be one of the most respected championships

492
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: and super Bowls in a very long time. But the

493
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: likely scenario is Patty Mahomes are justin Herbert walking away

494
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: with the division championship and team Yeah, you're gonna see

495
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes or Herbert in the in the

496
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: ANFC championship. So who you got one team a f

497
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: C wes, who is it going to be? The Chiefs

498
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: of the Chargers. The Chargers just haven't done it, and

499
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: I want to pick them. I'm going Chargers, you know what,

500
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm on board the Retch They've got the town justin

501
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: herbert Is year three, it's time baby South. Who wins?

502
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: Why an FC South? Um, it's it's seems like the

503
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: Colts division to lose. The Titans lost a J Brown. Um,

504
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: they still have Derrick Henry in a great running game.

505
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: The defense could be something. But I think the Cults

506
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: are gonna be really consistent. Matt Ryan is picture perfect

507
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: for that offense and what they do. The Forrest Buckner

508
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: and that defense is gonna still be very tough to

509
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: deal with. I got the Colts. The Texans look awesome too,

510
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: by the way. Um, the a f C North, I

511
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: mean that's gonna be a very competitive division. I mean,

512
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: you got it's always gritty and grimy. You can't just

513
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: right off Lamar Jackson in Baltimore ever. But Cincinnati just

514
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's very confident. Now. You know, when you

515
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: get to a super Bowl, it just changes your team.

516
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: It changes the way you look at things, changes your

517
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: confidence level, changes your base confidence level. Like they're gonna

518
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: be walking into games expecting to win in a way

519
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: that they weren't last year. And so with that in mind,

520
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland having the quarterback controversy, I don't see them being

521
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: competitive and now if they had Deshaun Watson, I would

522
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be a lot a lot higher on

523
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: them right now, but they don't. So I'm going with

524
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore because of a consistency and that's what they do. Richard,

525
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: You've been in the position of the Cincinnati Bengals, right,

526
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean their ceiling is now their floor, right. I mean,

527
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: what they thought they were gonna achieve last year is

528
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: now the expectation of what they at minimal will achieve.

529
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: But how hard is it to come back the season

530
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: after just missing out on the Super Bowl. I mean,

531
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: you've been there before, you've won it, you've lost it

532
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: in heartbreaks. How hard is it to It depends because

533
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: when we felt like we should have won the Super Bowl,

534
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: and it was two thousand and twelve, we didn't make

535
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, we didn't we spelt like we should

536
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: have won it that year. We came back and won

537
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: the next year because the energy in the focus was there.

538
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: It was totally different. It was totally you're piste off

539
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: and you're not taking no for an ANSWER's no. There's

540
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: no allowing yourself to be distractions. You make from kind

541
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: of sacrifices because you know, you tasted it, you know,

542
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: and you you can't get the taste out of your mouth,

543
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: and you're gonna do whatever is necessary to get there again.

544
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: And I think that's what the mentality that they're coming with.

545
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: And if they can keep Joe Burrow upright and block

546
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: for him and protected. I mean, what Jamaar Chase did

547
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: last year's repeatable. You know, he wasn't getting lucky and

548
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: having some kind of tip catches, you know, miraculous. He

549
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: was taking slant seven yards, he was taking curl routes

550
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: eight yards. He was getting the yards the hard way

551
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: like an Quin and Larry Fitzgerald used to. And so

552
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: it's repeatable. And I think they're gonna have a great

553
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: chance to to to be very competitive for the a

554
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: f C Championship again. I just feel like Baltimore, they

555
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: got really injured last year, they got beat up, They

556
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: lost a lot of people to a c l S

557
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: and they won't this year. They won't have that kind

558
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: of tragedy and they'll be right in the mix. Finally,

559
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: the East, is this the year of the Miami Dolphins?

560
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: Um No, it's not. Not. What Josh Allen in in Division. No,

561
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: it's not. I'm a that, you know something. It ain't

562
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: a lot to do in Buffalo, but what there is

563
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: to do in Buffalo is coming out of the a

564
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: f C and Buffalo with Josh Allen and and Diggs,

565
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: and like getting von Miller was like it's hard to describe,

566
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like what the Rams did?

567
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: You know? They didn't need him. It's embarrassment of riches,

568
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: and they got him. They were a championship roster who

569
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: likely would have been in the super Bowl had their

570
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: overtime rule has been a little different, but there aren't

571
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: and they weren't. But I think that they'll come out

572
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: of an f C. I got them. I got them

573
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl with San Francisco forty niners. You know,

574
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: I know that's where we're going next. San Francisco forty niners,

575
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in the super Bowl, and I got San

576
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: Francisco winning at cal. Shannah had finally getting his super

577
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Bowl that he's been needing, and uh, send me my ring.

578
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: That would be well deserved. Rich. So that leads us

579
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: the player predictions man back on M Talk, Rich already

580
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: told you I'm going with my boy. Actually not my boy.

581
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know him. But a guy who I

582
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: think from Buffalo, who is going to carry that team finally,

583
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: finally to a super Bowl, potentially to a win. You know,

584
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly status. Uh, don't be Jim Kelly status. Don't

585
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: beat Jim Kelly status. Don't take him four super Bowl

586
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: another further than Jim Kelly's time. Rich. I mean, come on,

587
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: like he probably should have won it last year. Let's

588
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: be real with ourselves, you know what I mean, like

589
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: somebody should have wanted he's fifty and he's still fifty touchdown.

590
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: The Josh Allen from the Buffalo Bills, by the way,

591
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: not your favorite Josh Allen from the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

592
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: was wondering if you're going to go there. But Justin

593
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: Herbert is the guy. He's setting records every single year

594
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: for the youngest to do this, the youngest to throw

595
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: there's so many yards, the youngest to throw this many touchdown.

596
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: And you gotta remember his first start came because of

597
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: tragedy to Tyrod Taylor, an unexpected injury of time. He

598
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: wasn't even practicing to be the starter. Now he's the

599
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: undisputed guy and He's going to be the undisputed guy

600
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: in the National Football League the m v P after

601
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: this season. He has all the weapons. Often Eckler, Keenan Allen,

602
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: Mike Williams like he's here to do it this year

603
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: in l A gun slinger, rich gun slinger. I love

604
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, I love the call, absolutely love the call.

605
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: You've already spoken about it on Thursday at football Nicholas

606
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: I forgot his middle name. Bosa is your defensive player

607
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: of the Year. Why Why Because he's unstoppable. He is unstoppable,

608
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: and what you need to do is doubling in chipping.

609
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: What you cannot do is doubling and chipping because there

610
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: are too many other people that will destroy your offensive line.

611
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: Eric Arnstead being the main co Forridge, an kin Law,

612
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: Drake Jackson being the new guy. They have a rotation

613
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: that will the rotation of devastation. It's gonna be tough

614
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: to deal with. And so you're not gonna be able

615
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: to double Bosa, And all you're gonna do is be

616
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: able to watch your quarterback get hit by him over

617
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: and over and not to say that hey, in the

618
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: run game, he'll probably have to three TfL is a

619
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: game like I just can't imagine him not getting it

620
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: unless well, I mean I can because he didn't get

621
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: a vote for Comeback Player of the Year last year

622
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: and he had fifteen and a half sacks coming off

623
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: a c L and I mean, good night, Richard. Was

624
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: you being a former forty nine or and a former

625
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: teammate and Nick Pols and picking them there to win

626
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and him to win the Defensive Player

627
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: of the Year. A lot of people would say you're

628
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: a little bit biased, but I wouldn't be one of them.

629
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're spot on. I think it's

630
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: the forty year. I think this Nick Bosa, if you

631
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: can stay healthy, he's got everything and that pedigree and

632
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: that family to win the Defensive Player of the Year.

633
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: So let's see what happens. But Joey Bosa could win

634
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: it too, So who knows. We got one or the

635
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: other one of the boast. It's gonna be one of

636
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: the Vosas are one, you know what I mean. This

637
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be hard to anybody else. I mean, Aaron

638
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: Donald could always do it fair. Offensive Player of the Year,

639
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year. Jesus, it's always what tucks

640
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: about that is. I wish they take the quarterbacks out

641
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: of it, but they don't. They know it's gonna be

642
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback. It's gonna be a quarterback. Uh. I think

643
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: this is Justin Herbert's time to shine. I think he

644
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: has a season that finally puts him amongst the elites. Obviously,

645
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: his numbers and the stats say that, but I think

646
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: him playing down the stretch and winning crucial ball games

647
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: is gonna really put it over the top Offensive Player

648
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: of the year just her I would go Jared Goff,

649
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: but I feel like a lot of people are kicking him,

650
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: so I have to go a different direction. I'm gonna

651
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: go Josh Allen for obvious reasons. Rock Star probably putting

652
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: people through tables. They're gonna be one of a hell

653
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of games up in Buffalo. Coach of

654
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: the Year, lu A year, UM Coach of the Year.

655
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Is it my boy Dan Campbell's time to shine? Is

656
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: it Roberts Solo's time to shine? Or is it someone

657
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: emerging from the depths? What are we? What are we

658
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: looking at here? Let's see? Uh? I mean, you got

659
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: the guys that you always expect to get it, you know,

660
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid will always be in it. Uh, that's tough.

661
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: That's tough. We'll come back to them. He'll come back

662
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: to that one, because I need to think about that

663
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: one a little deeper, because in Tampa, I don't think

664
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: they'll give it to him, even if Tom wins the

665
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowls year, I don't think they'll I don't think

666
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: they'll give the coach a year to top Bowls because

667
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: they'll be like, hey, of course, of course they didn't.

668
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't. You only did it seven times before,

669
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: you know, and situations like that where it's probably end

670
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: up naming Tom Brady the coach of the Year at

671
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: that right, Okay, well we'll save that one for a

672
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: rainy day. How about come Back Player of the Year.

673
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Is this something that Baker Mayfield might have

674
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: his eyes on or are we just avoiding him? I know,

675
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean he could, he could he That's what they

676
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: always give it to quarterbacks. They always give the awards

677
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks because it's like, no matter what the quarterback

678
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: to quarterback tourteramack, so I don't care about the order

679
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: back that's coming off an achilles hair and then just

680
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: comes and that helps to lead a team to a

681
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean they don't give right Horn. I'm

682
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: going with Chasty Horn Dangel on the same team. Say Horn, Okay,

683
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: should have got to play last year. We'll come back

684
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: and have the season he should have had last year,

685
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: which will be fantastic. J C. Horne Okay, rich And

686
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna give you a pick for

687
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year Brandon Staley, because it was

688
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: gonna keep the Chargers in the mix. They didn't make

689
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. They'll make the playoffs like they

690
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: make an f C championship. That will earn him a

691
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. I'm gonna go with Kyle Shanahan

692
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and my dark horses, Dan Campbell. I like your pick

693
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: of Brandon Staley, though, rich Richard, Okay, we've we've called

694
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: out the the obvious ones. Let's move a little bit

695
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: more to the bold predictions category of things. Which dark

696
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: horses do you like to you know, rise to the top,

697
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: to be potential stars in this league that no one's

698
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: really thinking about right now. I'm gonna throw a name

699
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: at you and I want you to this is this

700
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: is my pick, rich Tony Pollard. Tony, why would you

701
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: even bring up Tony Potter. Why would you bring him up?

702
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: It's down the bold prediction. That's crazy. The owner of

703
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: the team said, we only go as Ezekiel Elliott goes

704
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: who is in front of Tony Pollard, So he will

705
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: not unless something crazy happens to z Tony poll will

706
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: only be a secondary thought in the owner's mind. Rich At,

707
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard is my choice for breakout player of the year.

708
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Davonte Smith of the Philadelphia Eagles breakout

709
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: player to you? Respect? Respect. Finally, it's fantasy football draft season.

710
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: If you walk around town, you're gonna see a bunch

711
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: of people having drafts at local bars. You might, you know.

712
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean for me, I just have my zoom annual

713
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: draft with all my buddies. Rich Let's forget the quarterbacks.

714
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: Let's look at the running backs and wide receiver positions.

715
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: Who's kind of some of your dark horse guys that

716
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily at the top of the list that you

717
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: think are due for breakout seasons. Well, Brandon, are you

718
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: He hasn't the top of any bags list. And with

719
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: everybody everything you're hearing out of camp, um, he's due

720
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: for a breakout season. We'll see if what Michael Thomas has.

721
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think people with the expectations are very

722
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: high for him. I think when towards Julio Jones is

723
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: a sleeper that you know guys can get late in

724
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: the late in their fantasy drafts. I think Keenan Allen

725
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: has always underrated him and Mike Mike Williams down there

726
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: in l A are always underwead Alan Robinson, who never

727
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: gets credit. It's in a situation where Cooper Couple begining doubled.

728
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: Cooper cup had a two forty four targets last year.

729
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: I think that will spread a little bit more evenly

730
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: this year with Allen Robinson being there. All right, Rich, well,

731
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: we you've had a good first show. I think we

732
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: can both agree with that. You know what I mean.

733
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody picks in Detroit, I mean the sixteen

734
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: and one. I don't know. I mean that that might

735
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: make ourselves like the Rings at the end of the day,

736
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: it's been real. It's been fun. It's a shame it

737
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: hasn't been real fun. But rich we're gonna have an

738
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to make it real. Fun of the future Twice
