00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,680

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I love it. We're gonna throw to a segment we

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: did earlier in the studio with my good friends Patrick

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Claibhon and Jordan Rodrigue. I really love this segment. It's

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: called I Can Fix It, and we go through different

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: players around the NFL that we think coaches or teams

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: can fix kind of reclamation type projects. So stay tuned

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: for that. We're going to go through seven items of

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: news before that, and then we're going to get to

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: the segment and everything we learn at Cowboys practice. I

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: wanted to give a shout out to We're going to

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: be putting up as a YouTube exclusive some takeaways from

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: the practice and a couple of interviews with Cowboys players

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Demarvion Overshown and Dante Fowler. It's going to be a

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: really good, in depth short view of the Cowboys to

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: check that out as a YouTube exclusive. Let's get into this, Chris,

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: I just like that this is making our actual producer,

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Eric feel very uncomfortable. He didn't really like this.

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: I like, this is not a good idea, man. But

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like a little like the

33
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Wally Pip moment. You know, no, you know what we're

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: not looking for. We're not looking We have a lot

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: of co hosts. I love your energy, I love your

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: voice on the mic. But Eric is amazing running the

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: shows and making it sound great. Let's start with the

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: seven news items that you need to know. Number One,

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: Jordan Love went underwent surgery on his injured thumb. It

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: was on his left hand. He actually was able to

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: practice after suffering the injury in the preseason. They went

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: through one practice. They didn't like it.

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: They say he could be back to practice as early

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: as next week. He will not play in the preseason.

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: This is one of those preseason injuries that truly doesn't

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: mean anything. Have you noticed, Chris, now you're kind of

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: into this that every single injury in training camp, every

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: report is like, oh, it's fine, it's fine. Now, everything's

49
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna be fine, everything's good for a week one.

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: Stafford, especially like that has been something you were very

51
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: early on as like, guys, shouldn't we be worried? And

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: I think now you were just like, you're right at

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: this point.

54
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: This is this is what he's here for. Just to

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: tell me I'm right over and over. Stafford. By the way,

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: still not back at practice, so that's a good shout out.

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about the Jordan Love thing, a

58
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: little more worried about the land and Dickerson injury. The

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: last time we updated the news, we said he was

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: undergoing further tests. It was a knee injury. There's a

61
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: chance that he will be ready for Week one. The

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: Eagles great guard Pro Bowl guard that they identified and

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: really developed. When he first went down with that injury,

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you were worried he may have to, you know, miss

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: much of the season. So the fact that he has

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: a chance to play Week one is great news. Do

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: you know Chris the Week one opponent of the Philadelphia Eagles.

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: I do not know, but it must be the Dallas Cowboys.

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: He figured it out.

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: It just must be because we're here in Austar.

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: It is. That is the kickoff game. I feel like

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: if you want to have that sort of spot where

73
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: you're setting up the host, you need to know working

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: for the NFL, what is the NFL kickoff game. It's

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: like literally the biggest game of the entire year. So

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: that's a knock on you. But yeah, Dickerson got to

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: be back, and that's great news because I was a

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: little worried about their guard position. We got news on Wednesday.

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: James Cook not only back on the field, he got

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: a new contract from the Buffalo Bills, thirty million dollars

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed on a four year deal. I think it's a

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: team friendly deal, four for forty eight, so they didn't

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: break the bank, but he's getting a lot of guaranteed

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: money over the next two years. Had a feeling this

85
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: was coming when he was back at practice on Tuesday,

86
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: and I really give the Bills a ton of credit

87
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: for doing things the right way. Here are the recent

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: draft picks, all from Cook's draft class that they've re

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: signed to long term deals. Khalil Shakir very good slot receiver,

90
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: Christian Benford, Greg Russo both plus starters at cornerback and

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: edge dresher very valuable positions, and now James Cook. This

92
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: is a lesson for the team that we're about to

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: go cover the Dallas Cowboys, like, take care of your guys,

94
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: get the deals done early. It's also a lesson in

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: how consistent they have been at drafting. I know there's

96
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: been ups, there's been downs, but Buffalo overall in the

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean era has been very good. Compare that, for instance,

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: to the Quessea Dolpha Mensa era in Minnesota, where they

99
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: might not even have their entire twenty two draft class

100
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: by the end of this training game. The only man

101
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: left is ty Chandler on that draft class. Let's go

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: to the Browns. That is the number four item of

103
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: news you need to know. On this Wednesday. Shouldur Sanders

104
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: was announced that he would start this preseason game by

105
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. If Dylan Gabriel was unable to go. Dylan

106
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: Gabriel doing a little more work at practice these days,

107
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: doing some eleven on Eleven's the bad news though, Bobona

108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: should He got hurt an oblique injury at Wednesday's practice,

109
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: was unable to finish the practice. As we're taping, we

110
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: don't know how serious this is. But I think my

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: big takeaway here is that all this is nice, we're

112
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: developing for the future, but Joe Flacco is their starter.

113
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: He's the one getting all the first team reps at practice.

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: Now, and I think that shoulder obviously his homecoming his

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: first game was incredible against the Panthers. But I still

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: I want to see Gabriel. I want to see him

117
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: in that environment, see what he could do could if

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: he could play. I would love to see it. And

119
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: I know Stefanski said he also does want to see

120
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: both backup quarterbacks in the preseason for sure, But I

121
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: do think, yeah, Flatco for Week One's that's the shot.

122
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: Roberts has a huge smile on his face because Brian

123
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer is about to start a press conference right behind me.

124
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: It's all coming together. While but Bona's giving great analysis there.

125
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: We'll rip through it just a couple more injuries. So

126
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: the number five item you need to know Trevor Penning,

127
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: the guard for the Saints. He's going to be out

128
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: with turf tow according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football,

129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: which is a multi week injury. That's bad news for

130
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: their offensive line. Makai Becton, Remember the Eagles didn't want

131
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: to pay him at guard. It's kind of been quiet

132
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: there at Chargers camp. A big guy who struggled with

133
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: injuries in his career. Where has he been. He's been

134
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: gone for a couple of weeks. So you can combine that,

135
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: obviously with the injury to their starting left tackle Rashwan

136
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Slater and then naj Harris having a Snapchat photo where

137
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: his eye was pretty clearly closed. It's been a bad

138
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: camp for the Chargers. A former Charger, Tyrod Taylor, by

139
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the way out for the rest of training camp. That

140
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: is the number seven item that you need to know

141
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: on this Weddes.

142
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: That rounds out the list.

143
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: This is what he's here for. This is why Babona

144
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: makes the big bucks. Let's get to our segment. I

145
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: can fix him with myself, Patrick and Jordan back on

146
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: NFL Daily was about one year ago when a segment

147
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: debuted on this show that changed the game. That segment

148
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: is called God, I can fix him.

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: I can fix him.

150
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: You came up with this segment. Jordan, we're welcoming Patrick,

151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Claybahnd guys into the studio. Patrick, We're in a studio.

152
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: That was fun when I was back at Cowboys camp.

153
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: Please explain to me, Jordan, the genesis and the idea

154
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: behind I can fix them. Yeah.

155
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 4: I mean we've all been there, right, We've all believed

156
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: we can fix that person. So when we care about

157
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: maybe it's someone we're dating, maybe it's someone in our

158
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: immediate family or extended family, maybe it's a friend, you know,

159
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: I can fix that person.

160
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: I can set them on the right course.

161
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: In the NFL's case, it is the most I can

162
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: fix them league of all time. When you see coaches

163
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: take on other coaches, you know, discarded players. When you

164
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: see new coaches come in and overhaul systems and overhaul

165
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 4: position groups, when you see quarterbacks kind of get their second, third, fourth, fifth,

166
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: maybe nineteenth win under them, it's all the epic ego

167
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: and hubris of the league thinking you can actually be

168
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 4: the one to finally fix that person, and girls, sometimes

169
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 4: you just can't.

170
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 5: And and and then a rare example. It's a far

171
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 5: better practice the way it's done in the NFL than

172
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 5: out in the real world, where people are are people,

173
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 5: their unique products, and sometimes going into a relationship seeping

174
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 5: seeking to repair a person is not the ideal premise.

175
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 5: So it's better in the NFL.

176
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Getting older is accepting that you're not gonna change anyone.

177
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: You can impact them absolutely, like and that's that's change,

178
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: and you can help, you can grow together. But there

179
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: are core fundamentals to a human that I think as

180
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: you get older you just accept like you just if

181
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: love is just accepting. And so we're going to try

182
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: to find that love today. Patrick Beautiful. I want you

183
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: to I want you to start. You're the newcomer. I'm

184
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: going to start. I'm going to go right to you.

185
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,119
Speaker 5: In my research of last year's I Can Fix Him, Wow,

186
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: I do see a similar situation where I jumped in

187
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: and except I was in that seat and Jordan listening

188
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 5: over here.

189
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: So this is you were on the show. Yeah, I

190
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: was on that show. I don't remember which I will take. No,

191
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: you can't fix me. You can't fix my memory.

192
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 5: I did not remember either, and you have taken part

193
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 5: in significantly or episodes. It definitely resonated with us. I

194
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 5: will start with a relatively new gentleman to the National

195
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 5: Football League, that is one Pete Carroll, who has not

196
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: just come back with Jamal Adams once again. But I

197
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 5: do want to throw honorable mentions to Devin White and

198
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 5: Jermaine Pratt because the the end of the run for

199
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 5: Devin White was a little weird, as was Jermaine Pratt.

200
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 5: Between those two guys, you've got almost ten thousand snaps

201
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 5: of football. But I want to discuss Jamal Adams here

202
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 5: because the idea of playing him at linebacker he was

203
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: probably abrasive to even though he's playing in the box.

204
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 5: I mean, essentially you can make the case it's not

205
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 5: that much of a move. But to come back from

206
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: a significant knee injury and then the quad injury in

207
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, where a lot of people slept on

208
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, we hear quad strains all the time.

209
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: It was a complete tear. He told Tyler Dunn when

210
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 5: he initially came back. He has a six ince scar

211
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 5: where they had to go in and you know, the

212
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 5: quad recepts. You know, That's why I called quad. There's

213
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 5: four muscles in there. One was just a significant rupture,

214
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: so he was down to three essentially, and so it's

215
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 5: taken him out of time. He played very good in

216
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: the preseason game. Pete said he was pulling for him

217
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: to get back. It's a long haul with add difficult

218
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 5: injury and very Pete wise, he said, And shoot, I

219
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: thought he played well. And so I'm rooting for this

220
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 5: to work out. And I don't necessarily think it's a fix,

221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: but it's finally like these two beings being reunited in

222
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: a new place, and good luck to the river.

223
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: Without the pressure of the trade compensation and even the

224
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: contract that he in Seattle.

225
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: And I can fix some league. Is Pete Carroll not

226
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: the most I can fix him coach?

227
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so he is so much that Patrick and I

228
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: had the same idea here, and I think that's good.

229
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: I think that's great. I thought he's the ultimate I

230
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: can fix him coach. I mean you think about Gino.

231
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: I mean you always are thinking about Geno.

232
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: That's true. You think about him just making players believe

233
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: in themselves in a way that they hadn't before. And

234
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: the reason I can feel confident saying that because usually

235
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of that sort of analysis.

236
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Is just hearing the players talk about it, that that

237
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: has changed their lives, changed their career. Gino is one

238
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: of them, but he's he's far from the only one.

239
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: So many different Seahawks, especially defensive players, so I can

240
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: fix him. Included Jamal Adams, It included Jermaine Pratt, Landon Roberts,

241
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: and Devin Why. Eric Stokes is a former first round

242
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: pick who's at cornerback starting for them. Tyree Wilson is

243
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: a guy who's already run through three head coaches now. Right,

244
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: as a top ten pick.

245
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 5: I thought Tyre Wilson was the steal of the draft

246
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: in the top ten.

247
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: And that was an awesome top ten. You do feel

248
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: bad sometimes for players that get drafted surrounded by like

249
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: all time greats. Right, he was just like, yeah, I'd

250
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: have to go through it to remember exactly, but it

251
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: was just like hit after hit and then it was

252
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Tyre Wilson. And so that's Pete Carroll. And for me,

253
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, it's the entire defense. You know. It's because defense,

254
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: much more than offense, I believe, is about cohesion and effort,

255
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: and it's not all about scheme and belief. It doesn't

256
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: have to all be about talent. And that's good, Jordan,

257
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: because I think if you're just grading defensive talent one

258
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: to thirty two, the Raiders have to be in the

259
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: bottom handful of teams. It's not the very bottom. I

260
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: know they have Max Crosby, but other than that, we

261
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: need and I can fix some season out of Pete

262
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Carroll to make this team just competitive and good enough

263
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: to compete.

264
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no doubt. And you've seen this too.

265
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: If you strip away again the talent level of the

266
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: roster in general, and you look more of what Patrick

267
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: Graham has done scheme wise, trying to scheme gout.

268
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator.

269
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: Defensive coordinator of the Raiders, trying to scheme like the

270
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: scheme is smart. He is a very well respected assistant coach,

271
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: and I think pairing him with Pete Carroll brings that

272
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: extra energy, that extra like he is gonna just if

273
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: all else fails, He's going to need guys playing hard

274
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: for him, and Pete Carroll has always been able to

275
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: manufacture belief in that way to get a defense communicating

276
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: to get a defense buying into a shared message. And

277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: I think when you combine that with a genuinely very

278
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: smart scheme that just you need better players in every

279
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 4: phase of that defense except for one pass rusher spot.

280
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: Then I feel like this is an interesting combination. But

281
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: it is one where you you know they will have

282
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: that because Pete Carroll will get that.

283
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 5: And it's it's always been a testament to Max Crosby

284
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: that he plays that many snaps, but it's also been

285
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: because forty percent of Max Crosby was better than what

286
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: the Raiders put on the field, right, And so if

287
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 5: they can find some of that depth. And I know

288
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: it's of course like we love Pete and the vibes

289
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: are always going to be immaculate with Pete, but there

290
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 5: is a talent in seeing where the deficits elsewhere in

291
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: the league are and the ability to utilize talent, and

292
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 5: I think Pete is very very good at them.

293
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Pete Carroll, just because you know we're

294
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: talking vibes the ultimate I can fix some coach, well.

295
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 6: Well, you get after him first off, like we did,

296
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 6: and then we have to make sure that we work together.

297
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 6: Like I said, a bunch of those were the young guys,

298
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: and we were still hard, counting and doing, you know,

299
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 6: all of the intricacies of our cadence. It's just we

300
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: didn't jive together, and we have to mix better and

301
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 6: make sure that we take care of those guys. Know

302
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 6: who you're working, you know, we worked ourselves instead of

303
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 6: working the defense today.

304
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: That that was I love that. That was like him

305
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: being hard on the team. But even when he's being

306
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: hard on the team.

307
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm smiling.

308
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: It's just like a he makes you feel better about it.

309
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to do a Peek Carroll impression. I

310
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of do want to do a Peek Caroll.

311
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: I feel like you really want to do a people.

312
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: We'll do it later in the show. All right, give

313
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: me another I can fix him.

314
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: Okay, my first I can fix him is more of

315
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: a third person. Oh, Jalen Ramsey, I think can fix

316
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 4: elements of the Steelers, and I think that the Steelers

317
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: can fix elements of Jalen Ramsey.

318
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Love that.

319
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: Okay, So every few years, Jalen Ramsey seems to like

320
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: want or need a change of scenery, whether it's because

321
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: of a contract situation as it was the last couple

322
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: of times, or it's just not working out with the

323
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: team that he was on. He went from Jacksonville to

324
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: Los Angeles where he won a Super Bowl, to Miami.

325
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: Now he's in Pittsburgh.

326
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: So I think that this is a mutual I can

327
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 4: fix some situation because it's a really good change of

328
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: scenery for Jalen, who in interviewing him a few years ago,

329
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: we talked a lot about he needs a challenge. He

330
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: needs to be challenged in order to continue to push himself.

331
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: His biggest competitor is inside his own head, and to

332
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: continue to find new jobs, new roles, new things that

333
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: he can do to sort of push the envelope and

334
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 4: be a tone setter. And so he will be that

335
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: tone setter in this defense as a hybrid safety corner

336
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: who they want to seem to keep on the field

337
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: not only to help them with rundowns and be really

338
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: physical in the box and in the slot and sort

339
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 4: of an unavoidable player in the middle of the field

340
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: against power slots, against tight ends, but then also drop

341
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: back into a safety role like we're seeing with a

342
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 4: lot of these emerging more hybrid players. Jalen Ramsey can

343
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: still very much do that. I also think it's good

344
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: for the Steelers. Yeah, a mutual I can fix him

345
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: because that defense does need to evolve a little bit

346
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 4: and this position specifically, moving this position forward not just

347
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 4: in run support but also in pass coverage is a

348
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: next step, a next iteration of what the league is

349
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 4: doing right now on offense, and the Steelers need to

350
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: do that on defense. And I think it's a it

351
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: is a very like tone setting physical position that he'll

352
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 4: be in, and that's really really good for this defense.

353
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's obviously the costs in subtracting Minca to add

354
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: in Jalen Ramsey. Clearly most people would believe as I

355
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 5: think we do. The Steelers ultimate form would have been

356
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 5: to have them both there. They couldn't make that work

357
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 5: trade compensation wise, and so you end up with one

358
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 5: and the other. And I do think things had maybe

359
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 5: gotten a little stagnant in terms of the way they

360
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: approach things with having the personnel and Minca back there

361
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 5: that you can just do things differently with Jalen Ramsey

362
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 5: and they haven't necessarily had the results. So yeah, you

363
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 5: throw Jalen Ramsey out there, and considering the division and

364
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 5: the tasks, right, like having to make split decisions with

365
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 5: reads against the Ravens to Mike Gesicki and the Bengals. Yeah,

366
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 5: there's so many different places where a guy in that,

367
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 5: like say it like a star hybrid position can be in. Yeah,

368
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: you take one of the better players at that in

369
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 5: the NFL. It makes it work.

370
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: And I want to see a little more creativity from

371
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, you know that. I think it's a fair

372
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: criticism that he's been doing what he does and they

373
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: don't necessarily always deviate from that. And maybe Jalen Ramsey

374
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: helps to reignite the creativity when you just get two

375
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: really smart ball knowers in the same building and then

376
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: you sprinkle on just like a healthy amount of crazy

377
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: with Darius Slay and Joey Porter Jr. Like that's a

378
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: that's a fun mix to Shawn Elliott's a little crazy

379
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: and it's like.

380
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 4: Okay, tink about who they're going against too, his number

381
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: one NFC West rival when he was playing in the

382
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 4: nfcc wes DK Metcalf, he'll be going to against him

383
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 4: in practice. And then also Aaron Rodgers is the one

384
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: throwing the ball, so like we're there's a lot going

385
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 4: on in Pittsburgh. But I think that somehow, and truly,

386
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 4: I mean this earnestly, Allen Ramsey is the absolute perfect

387
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 4: fit in what's going on there right now in Pittsburgh.

388
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: I love that. I just want this team, which is

389
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: not won a playoff game since when two and sixteen

390
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: or something crazy. I was at the game that started

391
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the streak, the AFC Championship game against the Patriots. Like,

392
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: let's get Mike Tomlin winning playoff games again. I think

393
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: he could do it if that secondary comes through. I'm

394
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: going to go with their quarterback from a year ago,

395
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: Justin Fields now with the New York Jets. Let's just

396
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: bring him to a team that wants to focus on

397
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: what he does well. I think there's this idea with

398
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are great at running that you almost want

399
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: to diminish that skill set, not just as a coach

400
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: but as an analyst, like, oh, yeah, it's great, but

401
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: like you know, Justin Fields also throws a really pretty

402
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: pass down the field, Like yeah, we know, Like he's

403
00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: very accurate. Is he as like instinctive in advance getting

404
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: through his reads and everything else that comes along with position,

405
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: Similar to a guy like Trevor Lawrence who I was

406
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: thinking about thrown in here. Maybe we'd have a minor conversation.

407
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: Maybe that's not his greatest strength at this point of

408
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: his career. So let's lean into what he does well

409
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: and build the whole thing out of Justin Fields's strength

410
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: and our team strength, which is the offensive line. Here's

411
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn after their preseason opener.

412
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 7: I thought Justin got the guys getting off the huddle.

413
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 7: I thought Tanner did a really good job getting a

414
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 7: play calls and so the guys could play with temple

415
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 7: and play fast. It was good to see Justin use

416
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 7: his legs also, all right, so we know he has

417
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 7: that in his bag. The thing that I think he

418
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 7: showed for the most part is, man, we can call

419
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 7: the play, we have a shot, and it's the shots

420
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 7: out there. He can get it, to get it, chuck

421
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 7: it down, all right, and he did a really good

422
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 7: job of that. So he was patient. He did everything

423
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 7: that we needed right to get this win and for

424
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 7: him to be the quarterback that we know that he

425
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 7: can be.

426
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: So I love how he's talking about him.

427
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: He's got a little Pete Carroll in him. Aaron Glenn,

428
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: I think they have similar strengths and I think they're

429
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: going to build him up.

430
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 4: Can you just imagine being justin Field and like someone's

431
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: talking about you at the lectern that way and not

432
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: asking you to be anything you're not, and in fact

433
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 4: accentuating what you're good at, recognizing things that you can

434
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 4: do that they are asking you to do, and to

435
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 4: play to some significant strengths that you do have with

436
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: the team that is dynamically built to help accentuate that.

437
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 4: And like you can hear in his voice him saying

438
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 4: this with belief and conviction in the quarterback like that's

439
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: and I can fix a moment right there.

440
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: Some of the best running quarterbacks of all time to me,

441
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: started their careers and maybe even when they were peaking,

442
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: a lot of it really was deep shots, the run game,

443
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: check down, having a good offensive line, having a good

444
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: running game that is built in large part around the

445
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: strengths of them running and not getting it, not trying

446
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: to do too much more. I think of the Steve

447
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: mcair Titans at their peak and like that that was

448
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: part of their equation. So as you know, one of

449
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: the last people that still believes that justin Fields can

450
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: be fixed, Patrick, you have to be thrilled with this, Yes, I.

451
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 5: Don't know necessarily that there's a a fix. That's like,

452
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 5: at a certain point, we've seen how explosive Justin Fields

453
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 5: can be and way he can contribute to wins, but

454
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 5: there's he hasn't been able to get that that level

455
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: of long term commitment right in a few different spots.

456
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 5: And you can go all the way back to the

457
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 5: first rookie wage scale where you saw how teams were

458
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: incentivized to kind of take that middle late career player

459
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 5: and kind of toss him to the side in favor

460
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 5: of cheaper rookies because that that's the way things are.

461
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 5: And so in a lot of these situations that we

462
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 5: were discussing, they're these players who were twenty six, twenty seven,

463
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: twenty eight years old, and perhaps there are opportunities kind

464
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 5: of get a little bit limited just because there's a

465
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 5: cheaper option that's out there. And so I think Justin

466
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 5: Fields will be fine right in terms of like how

467
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 5: he can play it. But to hear that, like, especially

468
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: when your career can be in this sort of limbo,

469
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 5: it's got to be good for him to hear and

470
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 5: hopefully hopefully things go well.

471
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: I believe, all right, we've gone around the room one time.

472
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: We're going to do it again at least one more.

473
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: But at this point in the show, I did want

474
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: to mention the people that we fixed last year because

475
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: I think, at least in terms of projecting who could

476
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: be quote unquote fixed, we did a pretty good job.

477
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: We had Dave Canalis fixing Bryce Young, I think that

478
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: was yours. We had Kellen Moore fixing the Eagles. I

479
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: didn't know they really needed to be fixed, but you

480
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: think about what was happening a year ago at this

481
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: time and the season that they were coming off.

482
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: Wow, that worked out pretty well, especially for Kellen Moore.

483
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: And we had a few others that were fine. Tony

484
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: Pollard was one of them. Yeah, he had a good season.

485
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: Was that yours?

486
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: A few others that were fine? I don't I don't

487
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: know who who was who? I don't know who was who.

488
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak was involved that one did not really.

489
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: Maybe this time I think you might.

490
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: Have gone Calvin Ridley, which wasn't wasn't bad or good.

491
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: But I also wanted to think about how this league runs,

492
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: that there are these guys that just like keep getting

493
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: passed around a little bit. As I can fix some candidates.

494
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: I would call them the I can fix them all stars.

495
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna name some of them now, Zach Wilson,

496
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett, Marcus Mariota. It's a little early for the

497
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: music made because these are Unfortunately they're still getting passed around.

498
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: Devin White maybe in there. Sam Darnold, I think he'd

499
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: be I can fix them all Star.

500
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: You've done that, man dirty all week.

501
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Kyle Pitts is kind of becoming one of those guys.

502
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Okuda has become one of those guys. And then

503
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: I would like to make an announcement on this show,

504
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: and with this music cranked up even louder, that Baker

505
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: Mayfield has officially graduated for I can fix him. He's fixed.

506
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 5: What what if now Baker is the one doing in

507
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 5: the fixing.

508
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: He's fixing coaching career.

509
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 5: Can we get Josh McDaniels down to Tampa Bay You'll

510
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 5: be the head coach somewhere.

511
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: I congratulations, Baker.

512
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: I'm so happy.

513
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: You cannot be Yeah, you can't.

514
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 5: You can't be fixed anymore.

515
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: He's fixed. It's happened. Isaiah Simmons maybe the maybe the

516
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: ultimate all start here. But uh, Baker.

517
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 5: Mayfield, I've never heard the second.

518
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: Dinner he did it, buddy. All right, let's go around

519
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: the room again. We'll start with Patrick.

520
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'll go right across the street. Because back

521
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: in April, the Chargers na not a lot of news fanfare. Hey,

522
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 5: they signed Trey Lance. Well, you know, why not, why

523
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 5: not sign Trey Lance, give him an opportunity, And we haven't.

524
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 5: We haven't seen a lot of Taylor Heineke. It has

525
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 5: been all Trey Lance in the preseason through two starts,

526
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 5: and Harball was crediting him, and the passing numbers were

527
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 5: a little bit down in the Chargers second game, but

528
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: they he used his legs. Well, Harball loved that, so

529
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: he thought he had a heck of a game. And yeah,

530
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 5: we are Greg Roman and Harball away from fixing Trey

531
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 5: Lance and giving him an opportunity.

532
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: Hey, I saw some Taylor Heineke live. It didn't last

533
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: that long, and it was on site and they were like,

534
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: give us some Trey Lance because we want to get

535
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: our guys some better looks. And the second Tray Lance

536
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: came in. I mean, the passing game didn't exactly explode,

537
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: but at least Trey Lance brought him right down the

538
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: field on a touchdown drive, using his legs, using his strengths,

539
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: and hitting a nice two point conversion two on a slant.

540
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: Last week when I was at Chargers camp there or

541
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 4: was it last week, It was sometime this summer, and

542
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: I saw Trey Lance and Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh

543
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 4: all standing together, and they were sort of just like

544
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 4: moving as one entity around the.

545
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 3: Practice field together.

546
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: So it's like, you know, Ray Lance was absorbing everything

547
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 4: that Justin Herbert was receiving from Jim Harbaugh by a

548
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 4: sort of spatial osmosis, I guess, And so it was

549
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: really interesting to see him kind of he wants to

550
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 4: clearly be a sponge and soak up the teaching that

551
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: the first quarter the number one quarterback is getting, or

552
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: the collaboration communication that they have with each other. Jim

553
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 4: Harbaugh another belief guy.

554
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: Right, There's a lot of similarities on the players and

555
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: the teams that were choosing. And you can just see

556
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: by his play on the field without knowing anything about

557
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, that he's more comfortable and more confident. I

558
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: think in being a pro quarterback, I think he's going

559
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: to carve out a career.

560
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of which, Okay, okay, this is my personal I

561
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: can fix you.

562
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: To a certain gris.

563
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: I can fix him. We don't have the rights to

564
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: fix you by coldplay. They've you know, a lot of

565
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: publicity lately, they've.

566
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: Taken off, They've really started to make something of it.

567
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: They've made it. We can't afford it, so I can

568
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: fix him.

569
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 4: Okay, I can fix but this is a group of people.

570
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: I can fix you, Bryce Young haters.

571
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: I really, Oh, can You're gonna do it?

572
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 4: I was clocking all the short jokes and actually filing

573
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: them away for use on Greg at a later date.

574
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: I was clocking all the pain and all of the

575
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 4: frustration that this was your starting quarterback, the guy that

576
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: the franchise is pouring all of these resources into.

577
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 3: Bryce Young haters, I can fix you.

578
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: Bask in the training camp reports of Bryce Young throwing

579
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: at the ball around well revel and the anticipatory throws,

580
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: the confidence and comfort whether throwing on time. We're working

581
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: a little out of structure to create plays, and this

582
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: I love the most. We have a clip of Bryce

583
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: Young with an anticipation throw, and it is lightning fast

584
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 4: and it's an anticipation throw and tet does a double

585
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 4: move off of the line of scrimmage into the end

586
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: zone and he can't get his head around quite fast

587
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: enough because it throws with such anticipation. He reckoni is

588
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 4: that he gives Bryce Young a thumbs up. But this throw,

589
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: the speed at which it comes out, it's tailor made

590
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: for building that chemistry between the two of them that

591
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: will continue as time passes as they both get their

592
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: feet under them together.

593
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: And I just love this type of throw.

594
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: This is the type of really quick option play and

595
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: really quick outlet play that really benefits receivers who can

596
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: get open fast and really can capitalize on a defense

597
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 4: and put them on the back foot.

598
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: And I just I really really like that.

599
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 4: So once this timing gets down between the two of them,

600
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 4: then this is going to be a deadly combination.

601
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: And I think you can see this.

602
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: You could see this all over Bryce's tape from that

603
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: preseason game, the little that he did play creating out

604
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: a structure, getting throwing guys open in certain areas.

605
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: This is exactly why they actually went after him.

606
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: I love that clip, and when you see it from

607
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: both angles, you realize the rookie linebacker for the Browns,

608
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: Carson Trussinger has a beat on it too, and so

609
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: Bryce has to throw it that quick, but he doesn't

610
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: rifle it in there too fast. It's like the perfect

611
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: balance of like it got there at the right time.

612
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: Teto McMillan recognizes that that was his bad. He needs

613
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: to be more on time. But I think that explains

614
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: what Bryce does well, which is a combination of intelligence

615
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: and hutsba. You know, I think he knows what he has,

616
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: what he doesn't have, and I think he sees the

617
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: game well. And once he got more confidence late last season,

618
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: he was really going for throws and so he's kind

619
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: of combining that intelligence with the little uh. Maybe the

620
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Olds would say daring do you know a little daring do?

621
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 5: And I think because when you when you talk about

622
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: the daring do the ability right to squeeze balls into places,

623
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 5: there's there's only right. We generally get this idea of

624
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 5: like a farm right or a Rogers and it's like

625
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: like Anthony Richardson fall eight feet off the ground the

626
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 5: entire way with no dip. But with Bryce there's this

627
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 5: full range of arcs that are available. It's like the

628
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 5: back of a golf ball box where you.

629
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: See the full, the full multive it.

630
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 5: And so like when you when you generally put that

631
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 5: out there, it's like, oh, Bryce is a gun slinger.

632
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 5: He's out there wheeling and dealing and moving guys around.

633
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 5: Like people think, well, he doesn't have the size and

634
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 5: arm strength to do that. But it just looks different

635
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 5: and I think too, well, you know, as he immediately indicated, yeah,

636
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 5: it's not just get my head around quicker, but like

637
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 5: know that the ball is going to be in that

638
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 5: particular place because let's be honest, like through his career

639
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 5: at Arizona, they were throwing they were throwing them all

640
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 5: kinds of stuff. Yeah, they didn't necessarily of an opportunity,

641
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: uh to get to But I do disagree because Jordan,

642
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: I don't think you can fix these people no, because

643
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 5: they're they're they're just and we I talked about it

644
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 5: after you know, the divisional weekend. These people are just

645
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 5: going to find the next person to say can't do

646
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 5: some and they just go from person to person and

647
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 5: just say, oh yeah, this guy can't do it, this

648
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 5: guy and wants do it. They just say it about

649
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: somebody else.

650
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: This goes back to how we started this. I think

651
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: You're just going to have to accept their Those haters

652
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: are just going to keep hating, accept their flaws, and

653
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: stop trying to fix them.

654
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 5: No, but it's it's honorable that Jordan would like to

655
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 5: provide them with the information to allow them to fix themselves.

656
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 5: But it's it's fundamentally broken.

657
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: Or it's a very clever explain so much about my

658
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: dating life.

659
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: Guys, thank you.

660
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: You really got to change so much. It's like it's

661
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: like my memory loss that I started the show with.

662
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: At this point, Emica can't complain about me spacing or

663
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: forgetting something. She either just has to accept it or

664
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: been driven crazy or leave me. Those are like, wow,

665
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: the three options that she has. I did want to

666
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: get to a theory astic, I'm just saying those are

667
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: the options real quick. I mean, she really loves Japan.

668
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: At some point when the kids graduate high school, you know,

669
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: we'll see hold non for dear life. I have a theory, Jordan.

670
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: You brought this this little vehicle Bryce young Haters as

671
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: a way to sort of bring back how good your

672
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: take was a year ago on this show, which is

673
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: I think a good move as a takes woman.

674
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 4: I love that you thought that I truly could not

675
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 4: remember what I said on last year's show, but I'm.

676
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: Stoked, pretty sure it was you pretty sure it was.

677
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: I'm stoked it's all working out for Bryce Young as

678
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 3: it should.

679
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a broad one, and I'm doing

680
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: this because I think it's like the most important fixes

681
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: that can happen in the NFL. Quarterbacks. That's big. But

682
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: when they say, and by day I mean a new

683
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and his assistant coaches that I can fix

684
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: them talking about their offensive line, it is truly the

685
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: quickest way to get from dreadful to maybe above average

686
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL is to improve your offensive line from

687
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: embarrassing to average because suddenly it brings out the best

688
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: and all the other players on the offense that were

689
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: being held down, and it's just exponential. So if you

690
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: can get from like a bottom five type of offensive

691
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: line to just middle of the pack, the whole world

692
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: can open up for you. And so I just thought

693
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: about the cases this year where that's most notable. Certainly

694
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: the Texans with their new offensive coordinator Nick Kayley. Like

695
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 1: that that's him believing he can fix them. Nick Kyley.

696
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: Clint Kobiak, who didn't really get it done for us

697
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: or the Saints totally. That's at least the vision in Seattle,

698
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: taking a group that I think on paper it's actually

699
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: kind of talented and just making them average again when

700
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: they were so bad under you know, the Geno Smith regime.

701
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: Whoever was his offensive coordinator. You got Mike Josh McDaniels,

702
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: who I think's gotten slept on a little bit as

703
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: like the impact that he can have on this Patriots team.

704
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's not a lot of Josh

705
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: McDaniel's conversation going on here.

706
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 5: I think that's because it's known we've been burned before.

707
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 5: It's like there's only so much conversation despite it being

708
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 5: fundamental to our existence about how much water you can drink,

709
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 5: Like there's like eight lasses a day. But I'm not

710
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 5: saying Josh mcdaniels's water well after hearing myself say.

711
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: It, I mean, last time around, at least Mac Jones

712
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: was playing pretty well. Ramandre's playing well. Yeah. I'm just saying,

713
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: can he bring them back to a respectable level along

714
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: with the personnel I think he can his coaching. Can

715
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan maybe year two with his dad built Callahan

716
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: with the Titans, and then the Cowboys under Brian Schottenheimer,

717
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: who I think have enough twent so those are kind

718
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: of the I can fix them offensive lines. Out of

719
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: those five, I think at least two or three, oh pop,

720
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: and those teams will improve, you know, dramatically because of them.

721
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 3: Did you get a chance to watch Will Campbell's tape yet?

722
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I watched the game. I didn't go back and watch

723
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: all twenty two of Will Campbell. I also listened to

724
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: some good analysis of it, and I think it probably

725
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: supported what they've been saying in camp which is that

726
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: he's a dog in run game, that he's going to

727
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: really help open up their running game and that and

728
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: pass protection's up and down and we'll see.

729
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 3: Just curious.

730
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched the game. I didn't go back and

731
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: study him specifically. But they're why did you did you know?

732
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean you don't like him? Yeah, that's not true. No,

733
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: not true.

734
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 5: I didn't like I don't want to assign laborer, but

735
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 5: we could chop a Will Campbell greg real and it worked.

736
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: Real not be Well, he's the anti Drake May and

737
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: that I was pretty anti Will Campbell before the Patriots

738
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: took him. And then they took him, and I was

739
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: very pro Drake May before the Patriots took him, and

740
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: then they took him, so then it just it just

741
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: accentuates it.

742
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to fix you a little bit, you know,

743
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: I can.

744
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: It's just that do it. It's just that dastardly Joe

745
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Milton taking Travis Hunter away from me. Maybe Abdul Carter,

746
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: but uh probably Travis Hunter. With that Week eighteen win,

747
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: just then you get you get this Will Campbell, who's like, yeah,

748
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: in a different draft, he probably would have gone fifteenth though,

749
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: great glad they won four. Get get it to the

750
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: cut up. I have one question for you. This isn't

751
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: a full I can fix them, but you, to me,

752
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: are the Trevor Whisper of this NFL media group supporter

753
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: because he's he's an option here. What do you think about?

754
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: Is he struggled enough to even make sense as and

755
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: I can fix them?

756
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 4: No?

757
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: Is there something about him that's always been missing? Can

758
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen bring him that?

759
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 5: I think right, it's just in terms of if the

760
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 5: Jags have that little bit of extra postseason success from

761
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 5: a few years ago when they when they're like, I

762
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 5: don't know that Trevor would be on anybody's mind in

763
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 5: like in terms of being discussed as fixable. He just

764
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 5: hasn't ascended to the levels that we've seen these other

765
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 5: quarterbacks in the AFC go to. And then we just

766
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 5: for some reason feel like there's that significant drop, like

767
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 5: in terms of the general perception of Justin Herbert versus

768
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence in terms of success, right, I don't.

769
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I think he's just better that I think you watch

770
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: him on a snap basis and and he's just better.

771
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: And so like even like a tow a tongue of

772
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: a low I would say, is just better.

773
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 5: Right in my mind, and like to not be to

774
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 5: that those guys level is not necessarily some like huge

775
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 5: detriment to like to say that Trevor needs to be fixed.

776
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 5: I think the Jacks need to be fixed. That will

777
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 5: definitely change the perception of Trevor Lawrence. But now I don't,

778
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 5: I don't know if he warrants fixing at this point.

779
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 5: I think he kind of just is.

780
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 4: I would just like to see him, as I said

781
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 4: sitting one seed over last year almost to a tee,

782
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 4: I would just really like to see him take the

783
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: next step forward in developing his tools, in just developing

784
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 4: as a player, in just playing. It's almost like it

785
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 4: you can't almost like quantify. I mean the fumble, sure,

786
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 4: but like you can't almost quantify some of that. You

787
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 4: just need to see more. You need to see more

788
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 4: from the offense. You need to see more from the passer.

789
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: You need to see more of him using his athletic gifts.

790
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 4: You just need to see more of this. And I

791
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: just think I hope that this is the group to

792
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: do it. They certainly think that this is the group

793
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 4: to do it because they hired him, so we'll see, yeah.

794
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 5: And I think because you go to seasons where it's

795
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 5: like you feel like Gabe Davis is going to be

796
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 5: a significant contributor in late season, Brian Thomas Junior has

797
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 5: I think done enough to convince me that they're at

798
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 5: least offensively. Will be a general shift in perception for.

799
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: The Jacksonville facial tutin running.

800
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: Hard and this little little modernization of the offensive coaching staff.

801
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot, but Trevor Lawrence is kind of going

802
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: back to the theme of the show. He's kind of

803
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: like that that great catch you know that you're saying

804
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: you were talking about dating life or just and we're

805
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: talking about human nature like how much can you change?

806
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: And great catch checks every single box like a lot

807
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: of good on paper and there's nothing wrong either. Well,

808
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: it's just that you're just missing something. You're not sure

809
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: what it is. I'm not sure either.

810
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's wins, it's perception.

811
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Like now, I think it's more.

812
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 5: The career will continue, Sean McVay will trade a first

813
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 5: round pick, he'll come to the Rams and win a

814
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, like I think, like, okay, the parallels may

815
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 5: make sense.

816
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: Actually that could be it. And he obviously is getting

817
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: burned a little bit from being a number one overall

818
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: draft pick. But I do think five years in the

819
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: fact that I think the average person, even even someone

820
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: that you're you're admitting maybe he's behind, you know, if

821
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: he's a little like less than average when you're lining

822
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: up the thirty two quarterbacks, that's not where you want

823
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: to be. Oh listen, average, I think when you line

824
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: him up, he's below sixteen at least. Right now, all right,

825
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: let's let's just acknowledge that we fixed everyone.

826
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 3: I got one.

827
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: I got to all right, one last I can fix.

828
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: You're talking about people who are just searching for that

829
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 4: special something, you know, to like wake them up in

830
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 4: the morning, to make them feel a little bit more

831
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,479
Speaker 4: alive than they previously have felt, and maybe are a little

832
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 4: bit broken, and that person. Finding that person perhaps would

833
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 4: would fix them, would heal parts of themselves they thought

834
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 4: headlong since deteriorated into the ether. So I'm talking about

835
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart potentially fixing Brian Dable.

836
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I.

837
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 4: Want to play the sound of Brian Dable talking about

838
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart's performance in the Giant's first preseason game for

839
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: your consideration, It's.

840
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: About what I thought he would do.

841
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 8: Efficient, effective, aggressive, confident in the pocket. Some stuff we

842
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 8: can work on, but.

843
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: He's doing good.

844
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 8: Look, there's things he can be better at, but we

845
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 8: missed some opportunities on third down, some drops that would

846
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 8: even been better for him and for us. But he's

847
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 8: a confident young player and he's improved since he's been here.

848
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 8: Still got a long way to go, but I enjoy

849
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 8: working with him. I like his demeanor on the sideline,

850
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 8: sees the game well. Not that we're getting We've got

851
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 8: a couple of blisses and things like that, but I'm

852
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 8: glad he's sure so Wow.

853
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 4: Okay, you might not think that this man sounds healed

854
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 4: quite yet. In fact, he tried to talk himself out

855
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 4: of it a few times verbally and audibly in that

856
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 4: press conference, where he would say something nice and then

857
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 4: pull it back just a little.

858
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 3: Am I Am I committing too hard? Am I?

859
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 4: Two into this guy? And he I'll tell you what.

860
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 4: He used the word enjoy. I can count on one

861
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 4: hand the number of times I have heard Brian Dable

862
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 4: use the word enjoy while wearing Giant's logo. And he

863
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 4: also was saying he's glad he's here. He likes his demeanor.

864
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 4: And I swear he had a little twinkle in his

865
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 4: eye as he talked.

866
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 5: I can see it. I can see it. I also

867
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 5: saw and you know, for for coach day ball, for

868
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 5: everybody out there with short hair, you might need to

869
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,439
Speaker 5: rock the sunscreen dog on the top or get a hat.

870
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 5: That's all some concerning levels at the top there. And

871
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 5: it's like we got at to make sure that the

872
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 5: top needs the sun.

873
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: So he woke up uncomfortable the next day. How can you?

874
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: Why is that a lesson he's still learning? That does

875
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: make you a little worried about his ability to fix

876
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: anyone if he hasn't fixed that situation.

877
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 3: If once he heals, the ali vera comes out.

878
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 5: But but you can you can here because there is

879
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 5: and I know a lot of people attributed it to

880
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 5: you know, certain media contingencies, uh in New Jersey because

881
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, they're they're hard on everybody. But it's like, no,

882
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 5: like coach Table sometimes doesn't seem like he's enjoying the

883
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: conversations he has and talking about Jackson dark sounds.

884
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: You know what he saw, He saw a life raft,

885
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: He saw a potential future for his NFL career. On

886
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: the same day that he gave Josh Allen a big hug.

887
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: And possibly burned his face off.

888
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and possibly burned his face off, he thought, Okay,

889
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: maybe this guy isn't gonna be Josh Allen, but maybe

890
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna continue my head coaching career. And yeah,

891
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised to see Jackson Dart starting

892
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: football games for the New York Giants sooner than later.

893
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: But that's for another show. This was a beauty as always,

894
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: we did it, we made it. I think we fixed them.

895
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: We didn't fix them, but we correctly identified the fixing

896
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: that will be going on. So what what are the

897
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: things that you got to work on?

898
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 5: Patrick? The things that I have to work on, Yeah,

899
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 5: finishing tasks that need to be done, and telling the people.

900
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 5: I like the people I'm sitting with here, the people

901
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 5: in there, the people listening that I appreciate.

902
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: Them, Wow them, you do that, I think.

903
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 5: Well I need I need to do it more because

904
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 5: because I love doing this with you.

905
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: Guys, appreciate that. But we got to end on that.

906
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: Let's play the music. That's beautiful. Fun day. Uh what

907
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: do you need to work on?

908
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 4: No?

909
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: Ye, we need more time for you. Later, we'll be back. Jordan.

910
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: You're gonna tell me about some joint practices in Minnesota,

911
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: like when we fixed everyone football is back. Mm hmm
