Everybody, 12 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: John Middlecop Three and Out Podcasts? How are we doing? 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: What is going on? We just had breaking news. This 14 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: is I got lucky. I usually record the podcast a 15 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: little earlier in the day on Mondays, but because some 16 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: things happened, I wasn't. I'm recording this about four o'clock 17 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: in the afternoon, and the news of Jimmy Garoppolo out 18 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: of nowhere, Clayton Kershaw, Barry Zito level curveball is resigning 19 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers. I mean technically he was 20 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: on the Niners, but restructors contracts is gonna stay on 21 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: as Trey lances backup. What a jaw dropping thing, to 22 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: say the least. And this is coming from someone that's 23 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: been at these practices. I'll obviously give some thoughts there. 24 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: The big cutdown, a lot of guys getting cut. I 25 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: have been the guy who's part of cutting players. Have 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: some thoughts on that, and just you know, not everyone 27 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: that gets cut is the same. There's a player that 28 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: I saw that it's kind of crazy. We haven't really 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: talked about that. There has a chance to be a 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: swim this year of a player's career kind of ending 31 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: and another one's ascending. That would be just one of 32 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: the all time moves in NFL in recent memory. At least. 33 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins just are they just the all hype 34 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: team have some question marks there, and then a couple 35 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: of quich college Will quick can't even speak college football thoughts. 36 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: The plan is podcast Tuesday, probably do like a mailbag 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: type thing for Thursday, because I'm headed to Nashville Wednesday, 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: as I've said so in Labor Day weekend, so they'll 39 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: just be this podcast. Will probably put something out Thursday 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: because of the short weekend. Because let's face it, most 41 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: of you guys by Friday or screwing around, and then 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: because Monday's off, probably won't have anything a podcast until 43 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: next Tuesday for the NFL season. That's that's probably the 44 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: game plan, given that Monday is a holiday. But wanted 45 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: to start again. Three and our podcast. You listening on 46 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: Collins Feed, Subscribe to thee and outfeed Middlecoff Mailbag. We'll 47 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: have a big one Thursday at John Middlecoff is the Instagram. 48 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: Fire in those dms and get your question answered here 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: on the show. One reason in general why sports thrive? 50 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: Is it true in a day and age when there's 51 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: every single channel has a reality show. Most of them 52 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: have reality show after reality show. All the streaming services 53 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: now have all these reality shows. They're all scripted. I 54 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: think we all acknowledge it's all fake. Getting pro sports 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: every single week, every single day, something happens where you go. 56 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Damn didn't see that happening. Damn. Who would have thought 57 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill would get traded, Tom Brady would 58 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: retire and then unretire and then take a sabbatical and 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: then after a year of he's gonna get traded. No 60 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: one's gonna trade for him, He's gonna get cut. All 61 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Jimmy Garoppolo ends up as the backup 62 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers. Couple quick thoughts in a vacuum. 63 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: He immediately becomes the best backup in the NFL. You 64 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: can get Jimmy Garoppolo, who has been a starter now 65 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: for half a decade and won a ton of big 66 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: games and wall flawed, is a top twenty quarterback in 67 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: the NFL at six and a half million dollars to 68 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: be your backup. He is, you could argue, when you 69 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: factor in the importance of the quarterback position, any player 70 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: on a non rookie contract, it is the best contract 71 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL because at any moment, if he had 72 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Dude Trey got hurt, he can start and you can 73 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: win with him. He has been the starting quarterback. Now 74 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: he again, like I said, flawed player. But their team 75 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: is so loaded they were littered with guys. I think 76 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: the list is stupid of players in the top one hundred, 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: from the hundredth player up until the fringe top ten, 78 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo can be the guy just guiding the ship. 79 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: And now he's the backup six and a half million dollars. 80 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: The other thing the forty nine ers have really hung 81 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: their hat on is their general manager and head coach 82 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: are incredible dealing and massaging the people in their building. 83 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: Give it the players, and they've handled some very weird 84 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: situations and they've done it pretty seamlessly, and they've made 85 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: hard decisions over the years and it worked out pretty well. 86 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: They did it with divorced Buckner a couple of years 87 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: ago when they traded him for a first round pick, 88 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: and a couple of years later they are back in 89 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, and this year the Deebo Samuel situation. 90 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: He demands a trade and Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch 91 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: refused to say anything negatively publicly, even though they were 92 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: kind of mad, and they convinced him to come to 93 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: OTAs as a hold in. They massage the situation. And 94 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: now I've been in all these practices. Debo was kicking 95 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Ascid and taking names, and it's all kombay on. Everyone's 96 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: hugging and kissing. They are. John is one of the 97 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: better people in league history, just a high quality Captain 98 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: America type, and Kyle Little can be a little off, 99 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: I think, and be difficult for coaches is great with players. 100 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: So their ability to handle a situation that, let's face it, 101 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 1: one could argue, and I might. It's kind of batshit crazy. 102 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: And I'll never forget when I went to my first 103 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: forty nine or practice this fall training camp. I don't 104 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: go when the pads aren't on. I waited till the 105 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: pads were on, and I walked out there, and before 106 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: you get to the fields in which the players participate on, 107 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: there is like this other stretch of field, but it's 108 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: not It's probably half the size with wise of an 109 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: NFL field and probably forty yards long. And there's Jimmy 110 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: Garoppolo with two guys that look like me just throwing 111 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: passes too, and teammates are walking by, people are high 112 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: five in them. I remember one day going out there 113 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: and all the players are coming out to practice. Jimmy's 114 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: in a full sweat throwing. Mike Shanahan's on his way 115 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: out to practice, stops gives Jimmy a little pat on 116 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: the butt and they start b asking, and I just 117 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: thought to myself, this is easily the most bizarre thing 118 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Yet it feels completely normal, and part 119 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: of that is Jimmy Garoppolo, who is clearly not your 120 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: normal quarterback. Because if I was in his shoes the 121 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: moment this offseason started, I would have demanded, once I 122 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: was healthy, get rid of me, release me. I would 123 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: have made it difficult on the Niners. Yet I was 124 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: told by people that beat writers, guys that cover the team, 125 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: and they the Niners, this is not New York, this 126 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: is not Philly. It's a looser vibe with the media, 127 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: with the team. It's it's not I've been to Philadelphia. 128 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: It can be much more contentious there. John Lynch's friends 129 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: with people, all Kyle knows all these guys. The relationships 130 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: are just different out West. We're a little more laid back. 131 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: And they all said, you know what, Jimmy's cool with this. 132 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Jimmy's the one that told them, like, I'm cool with 133 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: being here, and he allowed this situation, which I would 134 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: say most quarterbacks in his shoes, given what he's accomplished, 135 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: would never have done this. They would have demanded to 136 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: be released. Now, part of this, his options were limited. 137 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: He didn't have anyone at this point in time to 138 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: get traded do and no one was going to trade 139 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: for his contract. Now, the question is do the forty 140 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: nine ers believe in Trey Lance. I think they believe 141 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: in his potential. But potential is just that it's unrealized. Whatever. 142 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: You don't know how good he's going to be. He 143 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: is physically gifted. He clearly from an unknowing people there, 144 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: high level guy, very smart, understands the offense. He does 145 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of have a flaw right now. Not the most 146 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: accurate quarterback. And I don't think if the forty nine 147 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 1: ers were one sold on Trey Lance, they would have 148 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: done this. Now, Kyle and John Lynch, if they were 149 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: sitting at right around this table, buy me right now 150 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: and looking at me, they'd say, John, we could have 151 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: the best backup quarterback in the NFL. Why would we not? 152 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: Every team in the NFL would take Jimmy Garoppolo if 153 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: they had the cap space at six and a half 154 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: million dollars to back up their quarterback. Whether your starter 155 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: was Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes, or whether it was 156 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson or Mac Jones. Of course you would want 157 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo for that price. I'd say, true. But when 158 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: you invest so heavily, you usually get rid of the guy. Right. 159 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Look no further than Patrick Mahomes when the Kansas Chiefs 160 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: traded Alex Smith to the football team Commanders. Maybe they 161 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: were the Redskins at the time and went all in 162 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: in Mahomes. Now, obviously Alex had a market and was 163 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: getting paid a lot of money at the time when 164 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: he went to Washington. But that is typically the move. 165 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: You transition and put all your chips on the middle 166 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: of the table, and if your starter gets hurt, part 167 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: of the deal with the NFL is you're screwed. Right, 168 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning neck got injured. Coults sucked. When Aaron Rodgers 169 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: have broken collar bones before, They've been in shambles. Last year, 170 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson got hurt, Seattle was done. That's just the 171 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: way the NFL works, and the forty nine ers understand that. 172 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: And they've been in that situation before when Jimmy tore 173 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: his ACL and it led them to getting Nick Bosa. 174 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: It sucked. I remember I watched all those snaps. It 175 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: was miserable. They don't want to be in that situation 176 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: because last year Jimmy got hurt miss some games. They 177 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: had Trey l Hell, Trey Lance got hurt, So maybe 178 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: they just know we got two guys that get injured 179 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: until Trey Lance proved one he can just be durable. 180 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Herm Edwards said it a long time ago. The best 181 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: ability sometimes is availability, and Trey Lance has been injured 182 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: multiple times now. You could argue freak accident. He hurt 183 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: his finger in a preseason game. He also sprained his 184 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: knee and his first start against the Arizona Cardinals last year, 185 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: and Jimmy has a long history of being injured. Hell 186 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: last year, when the season ended, he had multiple injuries, 187 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: a messed up thumb and a messed up shoulder. Won 188 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: The shoulder obviously led him to get surgery. But I 189 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: think the Niners got lucky in the sense that Jimmy's 190 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: cool with this. I think they've benefited because their head 191 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: coach and GM are good at dealing with players, and 192 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: I think you could say that they're not one sold 193 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: that Trey Lance is going to be a rocket ship, 194 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: because when you draft a player and you give up 195 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,119 Speaker 1: that many picks, you want him to be a rocket ship. Mahomes, 196 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. You know, obviously the Chargers didn't think this, 197 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: But what Herbert looks like it's just impossible to say. Now, 198 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: maybe we know at the end of the season you 199 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: feel good about it, and the Niners clearly just want 200 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: a contingency plan. I saw Mike Silver, who does a 201 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: podcast on the Volume, who also now writes for the 202 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: San Franco Chronicle, and I saw him in a bunch 203 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: of forty nine practice said this is a hedge, and listen, 204 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm a gambler. I've never hedged because I'm always cool 205 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: with losing, right. I don't gamble to earn my money. 206 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: I gamble for fun. I podcast to make my money. 207 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: That's how I earn my living. That's what I do 208 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: for work. So I get up early, I go to 209 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: bed late. I'm a fucking podcaster, and I invest. I 210 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: do some other stuff, but I don't I don't expect 211 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: when I gamble, and I'm I wouldn't call myself a 212 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: degenerate gambler, but I would be in the top probably 213 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: ten percent of gamblers in America. And I gamble it's 214 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: a hobby for fun. Now I win sometimes and I 215 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: lose probably more than I win, but I enjoy it. 216 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: It gets me going. But I don't depend on that money. 217 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: I'm cool with losing every bet I've ever made. I'm 218 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: okay with losing. Kyle Shanahan is not. He does not 219 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: like losing. Hell, he doesn't even look like he's having 220 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: that much fun when he's winning. And I think that's simple. 221 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: He's got a little Belichick in him where he goes. 222 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't give a shit what this looks like or 223 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: some of the dynamics. All I care about is attempting 224 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: to win. And for a guy that I hold in 225 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: high regard, I think a lot of you if you 226 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: watch football. No, he's a really good coach. He's only 227 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: won two of his five seasons, and a couple of 228 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: the reasons he's lost in twenty twenty and in twenty 229 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: eighteen was quarterback injuries. Jimmy missed thirteen games one year, 230 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: maybe it was twelve games, and he missed ten another year. 231 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: So Trey Lance played one season where he played a 232 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: couple of games and he got hurt multiple times. So 233 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: it might just be as simple as they got an opportunity. 234 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: They don't necessarily the personal dynamics. They think both guys 235 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: already like each other. They already know each other a 236 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: little weird, but they're cool with it being weird part 237 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: of the NFL's elements of it that are just weird. 238 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: We'll deal with it. Be a pro. I've always thought, like, yeah, 239 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: it's easy to say, be a pro, like you're dealing 240 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: with humans here, not robots, not widgets. But they clearly 241 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: know these guys too pretty well, and they just weren't 242 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: willing to not have a contingency plan given that they 243 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: couldn't trade the guy. And that's what led to the 244 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: greatest reality show going right now in America, the number 245 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: one television show, the National Football League. It shocks you 246 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: every day, and just like when cuts come tomorrow, I'm 247 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: sure we'll be shocked.

Sneaky, kind 255 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: of like the Ravens. I actually think they're almost flying 256 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: a little bit under the Radar. They missed the playoffs 257 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: last year. Some of the Lamar drama do not forget 258 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens have like seven million players injured. I think 259 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: they're going to be a powerhouse this year.

The quote unquote turk uh, 289 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: the guy that brings the pink slips. It's an uncomfortable situation, right. 290 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: A lot of guys battled their ass off to try 291 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: to live out their dream. Now, not everyone is under 292 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: the same umbrella. Some guys that get cut are veteran players. 293 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: Some guys that get cut are undrafted free agents. Some 294 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: guys are ten year vets that have made millions of dollars. 295 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: So everyone falls into a different category. But the thing 296 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: in NFL training camp and once you're once I was 297 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL a couple of years, you could immediately 298 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: tell like, this is a good player, this is a 299 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: friend player, and this is not an NFL player. And 300 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: sometimes the not an NFL player, the guy's playing in 301 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of these preseason games can latch onto 302 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: a practice squad and then develop into NFL players. And 303 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why some scouts and some 304 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: front offices are better than others. They can see that. 305 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: But there is a percentage of guys right because they're 306 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a ton of guys cut on every team. 307 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: All these teams are going from eighty five to fifty 308 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: three or eighty to fifty three, whatever the number is. Specifically, 309 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: I think Schefter tweeted out as almost nine hundred players 310 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: are going to be released tomorrow. Now. One thing these 311 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: guys have going for them. When I was in the 312 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: NFL practice squad was like eight guys. It's doubled since 313 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: the other differences with COVID. In the last couple of years, 314 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: they've changed the restrictions of practice squad Before, if you 315 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: played in a certain amount of games, Like if I 316 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: was a fifth round pick and I was a guy 317 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: that was I made the roster, but I never dressed, 318 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: but my team had a bunch of injuries, or my 319 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: team was really shitty and I ended up playing a 320 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: lot of games. Let's say in December, I would basically 321 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: burn my practice squad eligibility, and then I was a 322 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: guy the next year that couldn't latch on a team. 323 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have a job in the NFL, and it 324 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: kind of screwed a lot of younger players. Now the 325 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: rules for the practice squad are so much more, you know, 326 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: open ended. You can have played several years and still 327 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: get time. So many more guys are eligible to be 328 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: on the practice squad Now there is a big difference 329 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: of making an NFL roster and being on the practice squad. 330 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: It's like one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars versus 331 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: like over eight hundred thousand dollars, so financially, regardless what 332 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: state you live in and regardless of the tax structure. 333 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: You're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, just because 334 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: you're on the practice squad does at any moment you 335 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: can be cut. It is zero guaranteed dollars. Now, I 336 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: technically can guarantee money because when I cut all these guys. 337 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: If I cut you in your fifth round pick and 338 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: other teams liked you as well as my own team. 339 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: Let's say I'm the Minnesota Vikings and I cut a 340 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: player and I had drafted him that year, but I 341 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: want to keep them on my practice squad. Well, every 342 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: other team, if they don't claim the guy, can also 343 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: bring them on the practice squad so they can offer him. 344 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: And Belichick used to do this a lot when I 345 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: was in the NFL, and he still does, and other 346 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: teams do this as well. I can go listen, I 347 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: want you on my practice squad, but I will pay 348 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: you fully guaranteed a fifty three man roster spot, or 349 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: maybe I'll guarantee you four hundred thousand dollars to come 350 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: on my practice squad, so they can give financial incentives 351 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: to come to other teams practice squad. Now, when you 352 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: get cut, if you're gonna get claimed by a team, 353 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: or you're a team that's gonna claim a player, you 354 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: have to put that player on the fifty three man roster. 355 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: So if you are awarded a player who is cut 356 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: just because you're a guy. And I was texting with 357 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: a Jeff Schwartz who played in the NFL for a 358 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: long time, as brother Mitchell Schwartz was the right tackle. 359 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: He went to oregonist Mitchell went to cal football people, 360 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: and I saw him tweeting about this a couple weeks ago, Like, 361 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: just because you make the team, if you're the fiftieth guy, 362 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: the fifty first guy, the fifty second guy, the fifty 363 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: third guy, does not mean that you're gonna be on 364 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: the team week one. Because if I'm let's just pick 365 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: the Jacks who just drafted first, which means they have 366 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: the number one pick in the claim order. So if 367 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: I picked my fifty three man roster, but I claim 368 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: four guys, meaning every guy that I claim, I will 369 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: be awarded because until week four it goes based on 370 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: the draft order, I will then have to cut four 371 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: people from my own team to place those new guys 372 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: on my team. So it is a revolving door these 373 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: next couple days and even leading up to the season. 374 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: So I broke it down into three places, the people 375 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: that are going to be cut over the next couple 376 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: of days. There are some guys, I would say, depending 377 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: on the team, anywhere between probably three to like six 378 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: to seven that had a legitimate shot to make the 379 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: team that at one point in time over the last 380 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: several weeks in personnel meetings with the coaches, they were 381 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: talked about like they were going to be on the 382 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: roster and whether they ultimately regressed a little bit, made 383 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: a mistake, something happened, maybe a position battle, whatever, they 384 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: got cut, but they easily could have made the roster 385 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: a late round pick, an undrafted free agent, or maybe 386 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: like a practice squad guy from last year. And I 387 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: would say all those guys are destined to be on 388 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: that team's practice squad. Those are the hardest guys to 389 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: cut because you're worried if those guys excelled in preseason 390 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: games that they might get claimed. And the moment you 391 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: cut a player I remember learning this in the NFL, 392 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: you have to be okay with never seeing them again 393 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: either they get claimed or another practice squad guy steals them. 394 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: Then they are basically players that were always going to 395 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: go to the practice squad. And that's the majority of 396 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: the guys I would say from like probably sixty to 397 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: like seventy five that are practice squad type players that 398 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: either you're gonna want on the practice squad or other 399 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: teams are going to be interested to bring on their 400 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: practice squad. And that is the majority of young players 401 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: that are cut. Because it's the NFL, the majority of 402 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: roster spots are already taken by veteran players, previously drafted players, 403 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: other guys that were just drafted in top three or 404 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: four rounds, so it's hard to make a team. And 405 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: the majority of guys unless you go above and beyond 406 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: in training camp, are going to be released. But you're 407 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: gonna be on an NFL team, just be on the 408 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: practice squad. And then we know as the attrition of 409 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: the sport. You are a sprained ankle, a broken arm, 410 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: a torn acl away from dressing that next week. And 411 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: to me, the coolest part about the NFL, that group 412 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: of players is a lot like us in society. It 413 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: does not matter where you're started, it matters how you finish. 414 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: Your opportunity is not over. You are given the opportunity 415 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: to go in every single day in practice with the team, 416 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: being in meetings with the team, be around your coordinators, 417 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: be around your head coach. Let's face it, a lot 418 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: of position coaches become offensive coordinators, a lot of offensive 419 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: coordinator defensive coordinators become head coaches. You get a great 420 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: opportunity to be around these guys who in the next 421 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: year or two will go other places, and if you 422 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: stay around, you get an opportunity to be on their teams. 423 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: That's just the way this league works, just like the 424 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: way life works. Who cares that you don't get the 425 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: job you want immediately unless you get fucking thrown to 426 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: the gutter and you're homeless, like you're gonna have a 427 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,239 Speaker 1: chance to excel and succeed. It might not go like 428 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: ideally every guy would make the fifty three man roster. 429 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Ideally every person would start their career in the corner 430 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: office in the eleventh story building. That's just not the 431 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: way it works, especially for guys fourth round through undrafted 432 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: free agents. You gotta earn it and you need some 433 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: breaks to go your way. Now, when those breaks go 434 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: your way, those guys, like if you're on a practice 435 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: squad in week four, when that starting middle linebacker gets hurt, 436 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: and then that backup middle linebacker doesn't play well, and 437 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: then the following week you get an opportunity to not 438 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: only play special teams, but play the nickel linebacker. You 439 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: better take advantage of the situation. You might be playing 440 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you might be playing Patrick Mahomes. If you 441 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: look good, it could change your life. If you look shitty, 442 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: you go right back to the practice squad. And then 443 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: to me, there's the group which I respect these guys 444 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: because they played Division one football, Division two football. They 445 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: were good enough to have a scout, to have a 446 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: general manager, to have a position coach pound the table 447 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: and say we should bring this guy into training camp. 448 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: But whether it was evident early or figured out a 449 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: little bit later, these guys were never going to be 450 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: NFL players, and they were just used as by during 451 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: training camp at the highest level of the sport. There 452 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: is nothing to be ashamed at about that. As someone 453 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: that evaluated these players that if your career ends and 454 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: you got to play in preseason games and go to 455 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, with the New York Giants, 456 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: with the New Orleans Saints, with the Minnesota Vikings, whoever 457 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: you were in training camp with, and if all you 458 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: ever got were an OTA's a training camp and some 459 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: preseason games, that is a fucking incredible accomplishment. But there 460 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: is I would say, ten guys a team that fit 461 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: kind of that mold that are just not even practice 462 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: squadworthy and definitely never going to make the NFL, and 463 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: more than likely this is the pinnacle of their career, 464 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: and the pinnacle of their career is still higher than 465 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the majority of people that ever 466 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: play football from peewee to high school to college. So 467 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: it's still an impressive accomplishment. But these next couple of days, 468 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: I've been the guy waiting for their playbook, and now 469 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: the playbook I think is a lot more of the iPad. 470 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: It's just a very tense time, and it's you know, 471 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: everyone's tried so hard and putting so much effort. It 472 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: sucks cutting a lot of those first two groups, guys 473 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: that had a very good chance to make the team, 474 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: because making the team is a big deal. And you know, 475 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: just telling guys you weren't good enough, even though we 476 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 1: want you back, but you weren't good enough to make 477 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: the team. It's it's a humbling experience for everyone involved. 478 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: Every single year I saw I haven't I realized I 479 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: have not talked about Carson Wentz at all. Part of 480 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: it is the Washington football team commanders kind of feels irrelevant, 481 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: but think how crazy it is. I was listening this morning. 482 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: I went to the gym to get a little sweating, 483 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: and it might have had a little Funday Sunday Sunday Funday, 484 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: and you know, I was just gonna have one Tetos 485 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: and soda, and it led to about four and then 486 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: some beers, and I was like, you know, I need 487 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: to sweat this out. So I was still up, you know, 488 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: brighton early and I was in there sweating. I was 489 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: listening to Bill Simmons podcast and he had Warren Sharp on, 490 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: and they were talking a lot about the potential of 491 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles to be like the sleeper team, to potentially 492 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: have like the best record in the NFC, which I 493 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: think is a little strong, but to win the division. 494 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: And I think there's a very credible chance for them 495 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: to win the division. Now. I think I've said a 496 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: couple of times that the Eagles split with the Cowboys. 497 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: I had a couple of Cowboys fans SPI in my DMS, 498 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: be like Middle Coop. Stop speaking lies, and the reality 499 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: is I'm wrong. The Cowboys swept him last year. In 500 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: the first game when everyone tried the Cowboy fans, you 501 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: guys beat the hell out of him. Remember I think 502 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: first drive of the game pick six Jalen hurts, you 503 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: blew them out. The second game, I was actually in 504 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles at La Country Club. You know, a pretty 505 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: fun day. The next day was the Niner game. It 506 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 1: was a good weekend. I'm not gonna lie. I got 507 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 1: pretty drunk all weekend. Then I got the VID. That sucked, 508 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: but you know, the weekend was remarkable. If you told 509 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: me I had to get the VID to go play 510 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: La Country Club and then go watch the Niners beat 511 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: the Rams at Sofi Stadium, I would have made that 512 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: trade off. I did, essentially, and I was watching the game. Mute, 513 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: you guys killed him. I remember the Eagles benched everybody, 514 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 1: and the Eagles essentially got rid of Carson Wentz and 515 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: just said he's not good enough and we don't like 516 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: him at all. And let's face it, just that move 517 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: in a vacuum has aids very well. A year later, 518 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: he essentially kind of blows it for the Colts and 519 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: they say, we gotta get this guy out of here. 520 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: Where The number one reason he went there was because 521 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: the head coach, who was like this really great religious guy, 522 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 1: was like I love this dude. And then even by 523 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: the end I was like, yeah, we gotta move on. 524 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: Frank right turned on him. So it's like Carson Wentz's career. 525 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: He's now on his third team in basically a year 526 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: and a half. It's pretty crazy, and the Eagles might 527 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: have upgraded at quarterback now. I've never been a big 528 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts fans like I thought he was a running 529 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: back coming out of college. But number one thing I've 530 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: been told over and over by people with the Eagles 531 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: is like, this guy is a football junkie. He loves 532 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: it and he does everything humanly possible to improve he honestly, 533 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: Dak's a better player, but he fits that mold. He 534 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: maximizes every ounce of his talent. He truly cares. He's tough. 535 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: Football means everything to them. Both those guys. A lot 536 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: of guys in the NFL, but specifically Jalen and Dack's 537 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: a good example of a guy mid round pick no 538 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: one thought was good enough and just six seven years later. 539 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a forty million dollar quarterback. We 540 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: can argue that, but I love everything he stands for. 541 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: I think he's a solid player. I think he's a 542 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: good player. I just don't love the price point. But 543 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: part of it, like you can you can have a 544 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: chance with guys like that if you build your team 545 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: up around him. And I think the Eagles are really 546 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: good and I think the Cowboys are kind of coming 547 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: back to Earth. But regardless, we'll see how that plays out. 548 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: It wouldn't totally shock me, even though I think Mike 549 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: McCarthy's already under so much heat it is gonna just 550 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: get weird. They're so fast. Can you imagine if they 551 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: lose Week one against the Bucks and Tom Brady's got 552 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: like looks like he's getting plastic surgery, He's taking sabbaticals 553 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,239 Speaker 1: and he comes and beat styles. A lot of pressures there. 554 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of pressure the Eagles too. They 555 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: open up against the Lions, who, let's face it, we're 556 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: all rooting for it because we're watching hard knocks, but 557 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles better win that game. We can't start annoying 558 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles then you're losing Lions, even though I do 559 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: think the Lions are gonna be more competitive. But what 560 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz, Like as Carson Wentz, you know, like 561 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook for example, everyone feels like it's over for 562 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: him in LA And if you listen to anyone talk 563 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: that knows what they're talking about basketball, Like if he's 564 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: traded to the Pacers for some of their guys for 565 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Pacers buy him out, no one 566 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: is going to want Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook is going 567 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: to be out of the NBA. Now. I would never 568 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: say never, just because you know, people sell tickets, who knows, 569 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: but it wouldn't shock me if Russell Westbrooks is out 570 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: of the NBA. Now, the difference of Russell Westbrook and 571 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Roll Westbrook had like a decade where he's 572 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: kicking ass, taking names, flawed player, but it was still sweet. 573 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had like a moment and now it feels 574 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: like he's playing for his career when people at quarterback go, yeah, 575 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: we just people don't really like him. Like that's the 576 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: most enormous red flag. Think about Jimmy Garoppolo, the number 577 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: one thing, Jimmy Garoppolo hangs his hat on. It was like, yeah, 578 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: people just love the dude. People just can't get enough 579 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: with Jimmy G. They just want Jimmy G to be around. 580 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: He slid quarterback, but the guy, they love the guy. 581 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: Great teammate, fun to be around, cool with everybody, good influence. 582 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: It's been like Carson's like yam, but he was just 583 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: look weird at it. It just sums off doesn't get 584 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: along with people for whatever reason. You're like, well, what's 585 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: the reasons? Like, we can't really put our finger on. 586 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: It's just weird cat, you know, doesn't listen, not that coachable, 587 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: a lot of things that are pretty big red flags. 588 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: And now he's going to a place which, let's face 589 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: it's been historically pretty dysfunctional. It feels like his career 590 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: is on the line, and last year his stats don't 591 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: look bad. Yet when you watch them, you went I 592 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: don't really see it. And I remember arguing with Colts 593 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: fans be like, I think you're being too hard on 594 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I don't think I was season ended. They 595 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 1: couldn't get rid of him fast enough. And I think 596 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's got a little Philip Rivers where it's like 597 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: he's holding on for dear life at the end of 598 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: his career. Everyone's acting like Matt Ryan is gonna kick 599 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: ass and take names. I don't know, maybe he will, 600 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: but it's not like the Colts are loaded with offensive weaponry. 601 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: You know, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark ain't 602 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: walking through that door. I like Michael Pittman, but holy Moley, 603 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: everyone's acting like Jonathan Taylor's Marshall Falk meets Barry Sanders 604 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: meets Walter Payton. Liked the player a lot, but it 605 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: seems like a lot. I mean, I don't know, but 606 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: the Colts feel like they've hit struck oil, and part 607 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: of it feels like just because they got rid of 608 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. So if Carson Wentz, if this season doesn't 609 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 1: go well and he's out of the league, even if 610 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is just okay, think how great of a 611 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: pivot that was for Philly. I mean, just got rid 612 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: of a guy that no one can stand and somehow 613 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: that player consistently kept getting traded for a first round 614 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: pick and then multiple threes shows you the power of quarterback. 615 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: It's just wild. Last but not least before we get 616 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: into college football. Everyone everyone would be strong, but a 617 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: lot of people are acting like the Miami Dolphins are 618 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: going to be really good, and this happens. I'd say 619 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: every single season there's a team or two they get 620 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: a ton of hype, and like, for example, the AFC West, 621 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: the teams like the Raiders made the playoffs last year, 622 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: and obviously the Chiefs have been awesome for a decade. 623 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: But I think a team that's getting a ton of 624 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: hype would be the Chargers. Right, but last year they 625 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: won nine games, and their quarterback was dominant, and their 626 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: coach was doing kind of borderline reckless things at times, 627 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: going for it when he should have just kicked the 628 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: field goal like there's nowhere or just punted. There's time 629 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: to go for it, but he was on the borderline 630 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: like insanity side, and it costs them a chance to 631 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: go to the playoffs with a top five quarterback. So 632 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: I think when you're picking the Charges, you go, God, 633 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: look at their roster. They add Kleil mac, they add 634 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: JC Jackson, they have Justin Herbert. It's easy to go, yeah, 635 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: this team should be a playoff team. Again, I go 636 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: back to Justin Herbert. Well, when you look at Miami, 637 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: it feels like people are doing kind of the same thing. 638 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: Like this team super loaded. They add Tyree Hill, their 639 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: quarterback is tua is Tua Tonga Vyla. Here's the other 640 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: thing about the Chargers, for example, I am dubious of 641 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, but when Brandon Staley got the job, he 642 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: had been a coordinator, while it only for a year, 643 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: for a year with the Rams, and their defense was awesome. 644 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: He had called the plays, which he still does. I 645 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: like Mike McDaniel a lot. I don't know him personally, 646 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 1: but I've obviously followed his career closely with the forty 647 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: nine ers, watched all of his press conferences. No people 648 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: that know him. I'm a fan. I'm rooting for the guy. 649 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna start with my biggest concern for them. 650 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: He's never called a play. It's not like he's been 651 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: the play caller. He's been the right hand man for 652 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: the play caller. Now, maybe he has given Kyle a 653 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: ton of plays throughout different games and Kyle's used it 654 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: real time. Everyone and I know Kyle used check pretty well. 655 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: He swears by the guy. People, this guy's smart Ivy 656 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: League guy. I'm not disputing Mike McDaniel's understanding of NFL football, 657 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: understanding of NFL offenses, and understanding how to scheme, but 658 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: he's never called plays. So even if he becomes a 659 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: great play caller, he's gonna be way better play caller 660 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: in a couple of years than he is year one. 661 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: And we'll get into their schedule in a minute. I 662 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: just think that's they just think he's gonna be McVeigh 663 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: or Kyle, like those guys when they became head coaches 664 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: had been calling plays. I think it's going to be 665 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: difficult the quarterback. Like I said, with Herbert, we all 666 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: know Herbert's good, so when you go I could see 667 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 1: the Chargers being good. It's because we know he's good. 668 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: They just need to be better on defense, be a 669 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: little bit better running the ball Situationally, I don't know 670 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: if two is any good. I'd argue from what I've seen, 671 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: not practice lips, but on the field in games, I 672 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: always leave going this guy is not good. I always 673 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: leave going. It's pretty nuts. The hype on this guy 674 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 1: was talked about like tank for Tua, like he was 675 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: a suck for Luck. I watched Andrew Luck and I 676 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: watched twa tongavloa. I see two different players. You know, 677 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they have much in common at all. 678 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: I would tank for one, I would not tank for 679 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: the other. Let's face it, we all agreed that if 680 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: they would get a do over on that one, they 681 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: would have taken Justin Herbert so one. Their coaches never 682 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: called plays, and their quarterback is one of the biggest 683 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: question marks in the league. And then three, I had 684 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan recently DM me and went, I've always 685 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: been a big Tyreek fan. I loved everything he did 686 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: for us, But do you find it a little weird 687 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: that he's just kind of unhinged, talking a bunch of 688 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: shit and doing whatever he wants? And my first reaction 689 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: was no, I don't at all, because I do wonder 690 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: if you know, he's always been a guy that has 691 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: a lot of opinions, but he's not gonna do anything 692 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: under Andy Reis. Watch, especially with Patrick Mahomes, he kind 693 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: of had to keep his mouth quiet, like he couldn't 694 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: be a big diva. And sometimes divas, when they get 695 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: out of a discipline structured area is when they their 696 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: true colors really come out. Look at Antonio Brown. For 697 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: six five or six years, Antonio Brown was one of 698 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: the best players we'd ever seen in the history of 699 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: the league at wide receiver every single year, double digit touchdowns, 700 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards, just dominating. He was an unstoppable force. 701 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: And then he went to the Raiders and tried to 702 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 1: burn the place down and didn't give a shit about anybody. 703 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Tyreek is doing that because Antonio Brown 704 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: tried to ruin his crew at the Raiders to get cut. 705 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: But he just never stops talking on this podcast, and 706 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: it doesn't quite feel it doesn't quite feel like he's 707 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 1: that invested, you know, I don't know. It just feels 708 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: like whatever I got paid, I've already won. I've already 709 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: established myself as an all time grade. If this doesn't 710 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: work out, I am so rich. Who cares? And who 711 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,240 Speaker 1: in this building is gonna check me? Because I look around, 712 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: I don't see Andy Reid. That to me would concern me. 713 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: And last but not least, looking at their schedule, it's 714 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: pretty tough start. Now. They have played the Patriots very well, 715 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: regardless who their coaches, from Tony Soprano to Adam Gaze 716 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: to Brian Flores. For whatever reason, Miami has always given 717 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: the Patriot fits. So they open up against the Patriots, 718 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: then their next three games are at Ravens, against the Bills, 719 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: and at the Bengals. So they better win that Patriot 720 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: game because they are going to be the underdog in 721 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,479 Speaker 1: the next three games. And let's face it, anyone listening 722 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: to this, if you're bet if I told you right now, 723 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: give me five hundred dollars, you gotta bet on Dolphins 724 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: at the Ravens, Bills at the Dolphins, Dolphins at the Bengals. 725 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: You're putting your money on every single one of those 726 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: games on the other team, not the Dolphins. So there 727 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: is a very good chance, even if they beat the Patriots, 728 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: that they start one in three, And if they start 729 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: one in three, new head coach the two a situation, 730 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: it could get weird fast. And tyreekate used to losing. 731 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: So there's a guy with a lot of opinions. You 732 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: think he's gonna keep quiet when they're losing. I don't 733 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: think so, So I to me the Dolphins, I'm just 734 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. Before we get you out of here, 735 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: we'll put the mail bag at John Middlecoff on Thursday's 736 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: pod because some college football thoughts, and I was thinking 737 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: this weekend watching and I talked about the Nebraska situation 738 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: the transfer portal, Like the NIL, I don't care. Make 739 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: as much money as you want. I'm pro capitalism. I'm 740 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: not bothered by it. It doesn't matter to me one iota. 741 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: I honestly do not give a shit. I also don't 742 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: pretend to be morally superior, like guys have been getting 743 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: paid in college forever now. The government just gets attacks them. 744 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: So I don't care the transfer rule. I do understand 745 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: that a majority of guys that go in the transfer 746 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 1: portal end up nowhere to go, and it's a disaster. 747 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: But quarterbacks being able to transfer is incredible for the sport. 748 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: Because Nebraska, the only reason they were in that game 749 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 1: was a quarterback. Casey Thompson, the kid from Texas actually 750 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: pretty interesting, and I think quarterbacks being able to transfer 751 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: in college football makes it a very fun I mean, 752 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: just look around this weekend, Oh Miss They're starting quarterback 753 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: Jackson dark Usc. I think that guy's pretty good. I 754 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,439 Speaker 1: think him and Lane are going to be awesome. Pitt 755 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: Keaton slovis another guy that had a bunch of success 756 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: at USC. The irony of usc Is, they got three 757 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks all over the country. Starting Slovis plays J. T. Daniels, 758 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: who's now the starting quarterback in West Virginia. Hell usc 759 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: starting quarterback is a kid from Oklahoma, Caleb Williams and Oregon. 760 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 1: Potentially he's gonna start Bo Nicks and I'm probably missing 761 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 1: a ton of other players quarterbacks all over the country transferred. 762 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 1: It makes college football when you get a veteran quarterback. 763 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 1: Not all of them are gonna be good, but makes 764 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: it more interesting. You actually know some of these players. 765 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: It to me. Besides, like Jordan Addison, and I mean 766 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: there are some legitimate position players that move. Last year, 767 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams and moved from Wild State. There is a 768 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: handful of guys. The Florida State pass rusher the Jets 769 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: took it was a Georgia transfer. I mean, it happens. 770 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: But to me, the quarterback thing has added an element 771 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: of fun to college football that just wasn't there. I mean, 772 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: I'm very, very intrigued to watch all these players. I 773 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: can't wait to watch Jackson Dart play. And then, last 774 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: but not least, I wanted to go to two programs 775 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: that I feel both play this weekend have a ton 776 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: of pressure, and one you'd say, how could you possibly 777 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: have pressure when you just on the National championship. It 778 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: was their first Natty I think since nineteen eighty and 779 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: they beat Alabama, which is, you know, you could argue 780 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: the biggest win in program history. Some SEC fans might 781 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: come at me. Maybe I don't know my SEC history, 782 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: but given Kirby's relationship with Nick, given Kirby's history playing 783 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: Nick beating, given who Nick is beating Nick saban national championship, 784 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine it gets much bigger than that. 785 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: But I think we all anyone that follows college football, 786 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: and I don't follow college recruiting that that like, you 787 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: know intently, but I do follow the NFL draft and 788 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: my buddies they go through the SEC. Go God, this 789 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,760 Speaker 1: team is loaded. They might have a top five pass rusher, 790 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: they got a top five, top ten dB, they have 791 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: star players everywhere. Kirby every single year A has a 792 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: top two or three recruiting class. This program is basically 793 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: Alabama two point zero now, and part of being Alabama 794 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: two point zero is every single year you answer the bell, 795 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: you win the National Championship and you play the next 796 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: year like you didn't win the National Championship. And it's 797 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: been easy for Georgia because they've never gotten over the hump. 798 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: So every year they kind of had a chip on 799 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: their shoulder and they had all these players and they 800 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: were just competing to try to win. The will finally happen. 801 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 1: And now they come back with a loaded team, a 802 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: lot like many of Saban's teams. And what do they 803 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,240 Speaker 1: look like? Like? They're seventeen and a half point favorite 804 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: basically at home in Atlanta against Oregon. Are they just 805 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: going to kick the crap out of Oregan? Now, Oregon 806 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: as a new head coach who's ironically from Georgia, That's 807 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: what Alabama would do. They would beat the breaks off Oregan. Now, 808 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: I expect Georgia to be really good. I do wonder though, 809 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 1: if it catches up to him. Like I get Kirby 810 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: has a lot of admiration and he just won the 811 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: National Championship with the quarterbacks, so you're not gonna pivot 812 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: off him. But I'm not saying they got lucky because 813 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: he played the game of his life in the National 814 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,399 Speaker 1: Championship against Alabama. Can you win back to back national 815 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: championships with Stincon Bennett, I would argue, no, when the 816 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 1: team the other two teams that you're gonna have to beat, 817 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: Ohio State and Alabama have two top five quarterbacks in 818 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: an NFL draft, So if they're gonna get over the hump, 819 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: do they have to make a quarterback change at some point? 820 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: I know they did it once, I have a hard 821 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: time seeing them do it twice. And I'm just fascinated. 822 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: Do they come out with the same fire of like 823 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: we're still the hunter and we're not the hunted, because 824 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: ultimately now Alabama is hunting them. Do you know what 825 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: I expect from Alabama all season long to be on 826 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: a fucking mission to meet Georgia in the SEC championship game. 827 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 1: That's all they've talked about, That's all they thought about, 828 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: and that's all they're consumed with is getting back to 829 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: the SEC Championship and hoping Georgia is there so they 830 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: could kill him. Does George had the same mindset They've 831 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: never won before? Can Kirby the Kirby? See Nick coach 832 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: it like that? But he's now the head coach, not 833 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: the you know, not a defensive coordinator and he's never 834 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: been a national championship head coach till this year. So 835 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm just fascinating to watch their evolution as a program 836 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: because if he does figure it out, and either Stenson's 837 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,800 Speaker 1: able to do it or they transition to another quarterback, 838 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 1: they could go on and run where they win like 839 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: two of the next like five National chair Like they're 840 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: going to be a powerhouse now they already have been, 841 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: but there's a difference between powerhouses that win Natty's and 842 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,399 Speaker 1: powerhouses that are just in the mix. And my other 843 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,720 Speaker 1: team that I can't wait to watch as Utah because 844 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: Utah is a top ten team and legitimate top ten team. 845 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: They had their most impressive year in the history of 846 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: the program last year. They won the Pack twelve. They 847 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 1: went to the Rose Bowl, and if it weren't for 848 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 1: injuries at dB, they would have beaten Ohiouse State. And 849 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: they have the opportunity. They have a quarterback who's a stud, 850 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 1: and they're going down. They're a favorite on the road 851 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: in the SEC. Now, Florida has been up and down. 852 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: They have not been Georgia, Alabama, LSU right, they have 853 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: not been to that level, but they're still loaded with 854 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,439 Speaker 1: NFL players and their quarterback Anthony Richardson. I know Kyle 855 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: Whittingham compared him to Cam new I think this week 856 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 1: in his press conference. I've talked to an SEC scout 857 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: who left the practice and said, John, this dude is 858 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 1: a freak. Looks like Cam. I think he's quicker like 859 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's quite Lamar Kyler, but he's 860 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: faster than Cam. Now maybe Cam when he was young 861 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 1: was pretty fast. But this guy is, I mean, a 862 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 1: freak's freak. Now the question is what's he like in games? Reading? 863 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: Defense is throwing the ball? Only time will tell. And 864 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham has hung his hat on being one of 865 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,280 Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinators and defensive units in the country 866 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: for years. This is a fantastic matchup because I don't 867 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: look at Florida like a team that's gonna stake. But 868 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: if Utah is the real deal, they go in and 869 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: win this game. And if they go in and win 870 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: this game, they get USC this year at home, and 871 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 1: historically they've played USC. Even they're good teams, very very 872 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 1: well in Salt Lake City and Oregon. We'll just see 873 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: how Dan Lanning is a head coach. I don't know 874 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: now the roster he and Harrits is pretty good because 875 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: Mario chrystal ball. I guess sometimes people DM me like 876 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: you're too high on Mario. No. I think Mario is 877 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: a flawed schematic coach, but he is an elite recruiter. 878 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: And if you're an elite recruiter, if you're not like 879 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 1: you know, chasing women and screwing around like Eddiel, it's 880 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: borderline impossible and not win nine games every year in 881 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: Miami right now, would die to be consistently winning nine 882 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: or ten games with sweet NFL players, And that's what 883 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: I think he's about to do. So Dan Lanning inherits 884 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of good players at Oregon. So to meet 885 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: Kyle whitting him. He wins this game, he has a 886 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: playoff level team, and to me, that will be the 887 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: expectations if they beat Florida, and I expect him to 888 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,439 Speaker 1: be Florida. Actually, you know, kind of like that game 889 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: from a gambling perspective. I think the lines at three 890 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: now that he wins that game, I think Utah has 891 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: a very very good chance to be playoff bound.
