Speaker 1: hockey playoffs, big hockey guy. I love just turn on

27
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: hockey now. I used to like kind of make fun

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: of it, not because I didn't respect them, but just

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: it just wasn't my vibe. It wasn't even not my vibe.

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I just wasn't that into it. And I'm not claiming

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: to be super into it now. I'm not Wayne Gretzky,

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: but I enjoy when it's on television, especially the I've

33
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: always liked the hockey playoffs. They just become like a

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: war zone. You know. It's just a lot of respect.

35
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: So you want to go to an AHL Hockey game,

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: I would if the only team by me stinks so

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: they're done for the season. But promo co John John

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Hockey Playoffs. It's for the cup. Okay, let's start with

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: this question for the back. How come people aren't entertaining

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the Texans taking a defensive player with their first pick,

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: then trading for Lamar Jackson in one big move they

42
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: have an MVP quarterback and possibly the next Nick Bosa

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: or Micah Parsons. It's a hell of a question. I

44
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: think it's because people don't believe that the Ravens are

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: gonna trade Lamar Jackson. I read a headline today Lamar

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: tells Ravens get Odell Beckham Junior and DeAndre Hopkins. It's like,

47
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I love it when a player is mad at a

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: team and starts get given demands. You know, I want Hopkins,

49
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: I want Reggie White, I want ray Lewis. You know,

50
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: I want Randy Moss. It's like, okay, buddy, we you know,

51
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: we just had to give fifteen million dollars to Odell Beckham.

52
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I would rather now I know it's he's not technically

53
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: a free agent. I would have rather just given the

54
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: fifteen million to DeAndre Hopkins. But uh yeah, I mean,

55
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: just what what a bizarre situation. I also think if

56
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: you're Demiko, you kind of just want to take a

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: deep breath. Get you know, if you do a huge

58
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: trade for Lamar, now you have picks. So I guess

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: it's not that crazy because you've got multiple first rounders

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: these next couple of years with the with the Browns.

61
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: But I do think you just want to his team's

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: been really bad for a couple of years, kind of

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: gain some inventory on the squad, gain some inventory. You've

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: never been a head coach before, even though I'm a

65
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: big believer in Demiko. Uh, you know, I don't know

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: if I do that. Plus, you just have to give

67
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: him all this money, So then you've allocated all this

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: cap space to a guy that you know do you

69
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: just have to create the Ravens offense for your offense.

70
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just a little more complicated than just

71
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: like acquiring. Of course Lamar Jackson being a massive upgrade

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: for him, but when you factor in the money you

73
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: got to give him kind of changes the operation that

74
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: they're kind of going with. I'm a huge Bucks fan,

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: way before the Brady era. Well, given that the Brady era,

76
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna make funny. So I want to

77
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: know your thoughts on what the Bucks should do this draft.

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Should we skip getting a quarterback this year and maybe

79
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: hope to get Caleb Williams or stick with what we

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: got rolling with winning football. Also, what are your thoughts

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: of Jason light Well, your team's not going to be

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: very good, right you had the greatest quarterback of all time,

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: now he was showing somewhat of his age, and you

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: had some injuries and you went eight to nine last year, right,

85
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you were under five hundred, and then

86
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: you got absolutely dog walked in that playoff game. So

87
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: your team was, let's face it, below average last year

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. So you are going to be one

89
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: million percent worse this year. Your quarterback situation, I mean,

90
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: what is it? Baker Mayfield, Kyle Trask, Devin White wants

91
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: a trade now, which basically tells you that him in

92
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: the bucks, not on the same page when it comes

93
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: to a contract, because usually when a guy demands a trade,

94
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: it's like they're not in the same ballpark when it

95
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: comes to money. And I've always I think he's obviously

96
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: one of your better players. But it's a quarterback league.

97
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: And your offense last year because your offensive line and

98
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: your run game was shitty, your weapons, you know, Mike

99
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Evans is getting a little older. I think it's Yeah,

100
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: I think it's more of a reboot this year. I

101
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: don't think the worst thing in the world would be

102
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: to totally suck. Now. The problem with that is if

103
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: you're Jason Light, are you? Just? You did win the

104
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl a couple years ago, and you put all

105
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: your chips in the middle table, and you made the

106
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: playoffs for several straight years and had a bunch of

107
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: success even last year. I mean, you won the division.

108
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: It's not I mean, it's not your fault, but the

109
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: division sucked, so you lucked out a little bit. But

110
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: you hosted a playoff game. So that's what several straight

111
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: years of hosting playoff games. That's kind of a big deal.

112
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I guess you didn't host a playoff game the year

113
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: you won the Super Bowl, huh? Because you played Washington,

114
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: then you played who'd you play in the second round?

115
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Then you played the Packers. I forget who you guys

116
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: played in the second round. Obviously you'd know, But you

117
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: beat the Packers to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah,

118
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I would suck this year. But then does

119
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles get fired? Does Jason Like get fired? You know,

120
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: I think Jason Light deserves credit. He was you know,

121
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers did not want Tom Brady, did

122
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: not want him. The Oakland Raiders or maybe the Vegas

123
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: Raiders at the time, did not want Tom Brady. He

124
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: wanted Tom Brady, they got Tom Brady, they won a

125
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Then the next year they were, you know,

126
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: hosting the Rams in the second round of the playoffs.

127
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: So was it the first round? I'm getting my rounds

128
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: mixed up now. But you know what I mean. I

129
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: think the biggest question for you, like Jason Light's proven

130
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 1: he can draft and signed good players, is Todd Bowles

131
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: is a good head coach like Todd bowlsch nice guy,

132
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: excellent defensive coordinator. Not everyone's meant to be the alpha.

133
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Not everyone's meant to be the guy at the head

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: of the table, include all of us. You know, you

135
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: just have to be so lucky. If you're in an industry,

136
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: can you make a lot of money not being the

137
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: top dog? Because if you can, then shit, you can

138
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: leave an lead an incredible life. Right In some businesses

139
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: like you gotta keep trying to get to the top

140
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: of the food chain because the margins are smaller, there's

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: less money in some businesses like hell, you could be

142
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: the number five guy in an operation and make a ton.

143
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, Todd Bowles can make three four million dollars

144
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: being a defensive coordinator and he thrives at it. I

145
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: think it's more than fair to go, you know this

146
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: guy head coach? Is this guy any good? Well, what's

147
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: this guy bringing to the table Because it's an offensive

148
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: league and he knows nothing about offense, so he's gonna

149
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: have zero He's gonna be able to dictate the quarterback,

150
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line zero percent. And then when he becomes

151
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: a head coach, he's just gonna be bless good at

152
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: being a defensive coordinator. Just that's the nature of being

153
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: a head coach. It takes time away. Like Brandon Staley,

154
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: small sample size, but when he was the Rams defensive coordinator,

155
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: they were really good. And since he's been the defensive

156
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: coordinator slash head coach, their defense hasn't been as good.

157
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: With the Chargers right two years ago, worst run defense

158
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: whatever in the league. Last year had some good stretches,

159
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: but seasons on the line. They give up four touchdowns

160
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: in the second half to Trevor Lawrence. Because for most

161
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: human beings, they cannot be Andy Reid head coach, leader,

162
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: play caller like mos. Most people don't have that in

163
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: the back. It's why we give a lot of respect

164
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: to younger coaches. McVeigh wins the Super Bowl as the OC.

165
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan wins all these games as the OC. It's hard,

166
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, and clearly bowls. You know. His greatest attribute

167
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: is being a defensive coordinator, and he's really really good.

168
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Fangio is a good example. Fangio is an elite defensive coordinator.

169
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: He's just probably not a head coach. And you know what,

170
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: what do you think he's making with the Dolphins four

171
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: or five million bucks? So I always think that's the

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: biggest question mark. Curious to hear your thoughts if you

173
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: think Dak will be the Cowboys quarterback after his current

174
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: contract is up in twenty twenty five. If I'm not mistaken,

175
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: they don't seem to have any good way out unless

176
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: they can make a trade happen, which I don't see.

177
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for the entertainment, Yeah, I mean I the hard

178
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: part with the guy like Dak, and I I put

179
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: him as like a slightly better version of Cousins, even

180
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: though I think you could argue their numbers are very similar.

181
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Dak just brings more mobility causes actually might be a

182
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: better down the field passer. But whatever, both those guys

183
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: are into a similar boat. And you could also put

184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: Derek Carr for a long period of time with the Raiders.

185
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: In that boat as well, is that when you find

186
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: yourself with that guy in the driver's seat, it's very

187
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: hard to pivot because that guy ends up making a

188
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: lot of money. So if a sweet quarterback ever hits

189
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: the open market, it's hard to kind of pivot. And

190
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: then that guy's good enough if you know what you're doing.

191
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: And Cousins has been on successful teams in Minnesota, and

192
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: obviously Dak's been on successful teams in Dallas. You're never

193
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: gonna suck, so you're never in the mix for one

194
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: of the sweet quarterbacks. And it's obviously always hard to

195
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: justify taking a quarterback in the early twenties. Now you

196
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: can take quarterbacks in the mid rounds. But as we know,

197
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: the likelihood of getting Cousins or in the mid rounds

198
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: is just as likely as getting some guy that's out

199
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: of the league in a couple of years. So you're

200
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of in a weird spot now. There are much

201
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: worse spots to be in. I don't love Dak Prescott

202
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: at forty million dollars a year because I don't think

203
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: when you allocate a large percentage of the cap you can,

204
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: he can carry you, right and ultimately, once you make

205
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: over what money's all relative? Right, so whatever the percent

206
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: is and right now, to me, like that forty million

207
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: dollar gap, the last couple of years has kind of

208
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: been the line of like, well, can this guy carry

209
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: you two playoff wins? Mahomes Brady Rogers because if they can't,

210
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: now we can nitpick Rogers, but you know, we'd all

211
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: rather have Rogers than Dak I mean, at least the

212
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: last several years. Maybe moving forward, Rodgers a shot, but

213
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: time will tell. My point is that that's where I

214
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: have an issue, is like I like a guy making

215
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars because that's kind of what is value.

216
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: It's like, well, that's just what quarterbacks get paid. Well, fine,

217
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: you pay him that and don't expect to ever win

218
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, Which that doesn't mean you can't win

219
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: eleven twelve games a year, host a playoff game and

220
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: get kot early in the playoffs, and that's fine. Like

221
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: that's a lot of the league would would die for that,

222
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: And there's nothing you'd rather be that than like the

223
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: Texans or some of these shitty teams for sure, like

224
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: the Cardinal whatever, Right, No, one's arguing that it's a

225
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: terrible spot to be in, but at the highest level,

226
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: and ultimately, when you pay a guy forty million dollars,

227
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: you're like, I think we can win a super Bowl

228
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: with this guy. And listen, it's very, very difficult to

229
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl. Let's even change that statement. Can

230
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: we be in the super Bowl mix? And the Cowboys

231
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: just simply aren't as long as they have this current situation,

232
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: Like I don't think they're a super Bowl contender. Now,

233
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: some of it's not even Dak's fault, right is their coach?

234
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Like is Mike good enough? I've watched them the last

235
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: two years in big games against the forty nine ers,

236
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: one at home and one on the road, lose. You know,

237
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,239
Speaker 1: it's be one thing, it's like, well, you're playing Montana,

238
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: fucking playing Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Party getting out coached.

239
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: And this year they actually were had a better chance

240
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: to win the game. But that's because of their defense,

241
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: that's because of Dan Quinn. I mean, Dak's throwing picks

242
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: like I just don't trust Dak, Like Dak turns the

243
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: ball over in the playoffs. Now, one thing, and listen,

244
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in this Dak. I'm getting everything

245
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: the dude has. It's why, like we, you know, are

246
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: critical of some of these quarterbacks, Like does this guy

247
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: even care? McCarthy said at the owners meetings, Daks came

248
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: in in the offseason. They've already gone through all his interceptions,

249
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Like he does not want to throw picks, but he's

250
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: kind of a flawed player because doesn't have a great arm.

251
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: He throws a very pickable ball. You know, that's that's

252
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: one of the issues, Like Alex Smith. You know why

253
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: Alex had to be incredibly accurate because if he was

254
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: a little off, it was a very easy ball to catch. Right.

255
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Why did Philip Rivers throw a lot of picks? He

256
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great arm. So even though DB's play

257
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: dB for a reason, right, usually because they can't catch. Well,

258
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: it's harder to catch right a Josh Allen fastball, Right,

259
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: it might bounce off your hands. But Alex Smith, Phillip Rivers,

260
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, it's easier for me to catch that ball

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: if I'm a dB with average hands, and I just

262
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: think sometimes and sometimes decision making, I mean a lot

263
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: of times it is, but I think it's a combination

264
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: of it all. So just a complicated situation. Like I

265
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: don't blame them for signing Dak Prescott, it's just once

266
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: you pay that type money. I just think it's really

267
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: really hard to, you know, build a championship team. A

268
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of Washington fans are calling to Chase Young pick

269
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: a bust and want to trade him. What are your thoughts?

270
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Is he a bust? Should they trade him? Or do

271
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: we need to calm down since he's coming off an

272
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: ACL injury. As someone slid into my DMS, I think

273
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: I was talking about Dan Snyder selling the team and

274
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: I think I said, you know, I love their roster,

275
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: which I do, and I mentioned Crowder to go along

276
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: with McLaurin, and they're like crowded hasn't been on the team.

277
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: I get Crowder and Dotson mix up, same player in

278
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: my mind, but I like both the guys. I like

279
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: Docs and more. But you know what I mean, He's

280
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: never gonna be Miles Garrett. You know, to me, I

281
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: always view Chase Young as more of like a Khalil Mack,

282
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: more power and physicality. Now what are we gonna do

283
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: last year? Dudes coming off a knee injury last year's

284
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: doesn't count. Like I'm not holding last year against him.

285
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: Now this year is a big year for him. What

286
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: does he look like fully healthy? Does he come and

287
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: be an impact Pro Bowl guy? That's the question. And

288
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: does he show a guy that you want to invest

289
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: the farm in. But I would not call him a

290
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: bust by any means. I do think you got to

291
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: know what you're getting though, Like you're not getting von

292
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Miller Ben in the edge here, Miles Garrett, like you

293
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: know to me, And I could be wrong if Scout

294
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: are listened to this, Like no, he has that, like

295
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: I always him more as a power bull rush and

296
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: theory dominate against the run like that to me is

297
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: what he has to be. And it's hard to do

298
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: that if you're if you don't trust your knee. Listen,

299
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: you know I'm dealing with the torn MCL right now.

300
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm playing golf through it. Some call me tough, some

301
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: call me kind of a whisp. But reality is your

302
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: knee gets messed up, It's it can mess with you.

303
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: Love the show. In light of the PGA trying to

304
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: grow the game with elevated events and with their spokesman,

305
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Rory was drawing from the second elevated event this year.

306
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Would it makes sense for the PGA to change to

307
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: three day fifty whole tournaments. As a golf fan, I

308
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: want to see my favorite players on the weekend, and

309
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: this would be more or less make that a guarantee,

310
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: The players would get more rest, travel, would see them

311
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: play a lot more often. Live might be onto something here. Yeah,

312
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a non starter. I mean, I think

313
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, even as they change things some of

314
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: these no cut events, is fifty is not going to

315
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: do the fifty four thing. If they're playing, they're playing

316
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: four rounds now, some might have cuts, some might not,

317
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: but they're never gonna do the live fifty four whole thing.

318
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: That's just not what they're gonna do.

319
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: I mean.

320
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: One of the things and the reality in life, like

321
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: for those of you listening, golf has this thing called PIP.

322
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: So the more famous you are, the more like people

323
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: talk about you, the more you're shown on television, the

324
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: more you impact television ratings through social media and all

325
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: this stuff. They just pay you. So last year Rory

326
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: got like ten million bucks or whatever. And if you

327
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: skip two of these elevated events, you're allowed to skip one,

328
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: but if you skip two, you're no longer eligible. Do

329
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: you know how rich Rory is? It's like Tiger, Like

330
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: Tiger is, Tiger's richer and Rory but a couple million

331
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: dollars to them. It's why I laugh at this play

332
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: in tournament in the NBA that and I saw some

333
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: of the golfers were like, you know, three million dollars

334
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: or maybe it immediately Max is like takes three million dollars,

335
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Like Rory lost three million dollars essentially of money that

336
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: he could have earned he can't earn now. And a

337
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: lot of the players are like, that's a big deal.

338
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, I mean I I don't really think

339
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: so for Rory. And listen, three million dollars a lot

340
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: of money unless you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars, right,

341
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: Like three grand is a lot of money to you.

342
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: Let's just use relative terms. Three thousand dollars is a

343
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: lot of money. If you make fifty thousand dollars, if

344
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: you make two million dollars a year, three grand is

345
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: not worth much to you, right. So part of this deal,

346
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: like back to the NBA thing, they're doing this playing

347
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: and in the playing tournament the winner, the team that

348
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: wins is gonna get five hundred thousand dollars. Now, if

349
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: you're on like a league minimum or two way player,

350
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: obviously five hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money.

351
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: To you google how many star players make thirty to

352
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. The average salary in the NBA is

353
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: over seven million dollars. So if I'm a dude playing

354
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: and I make forty million dollars, five hundred thousand dollars,

355
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: which is a lot of money to ninety nine percent

356
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: of people. But if you make forty three million dollars, like, yeah,

357
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: it's not going to impact my life at all. Plus

358
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: after taxes, I mean, what is it really two hundred

359
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: and fifty one thousand dollars? So money's all relative, and

360
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean I think that's what all this

361
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: stuff revolves around, like it or not. My question is

362
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: regarding the Miami Dolphins. I know that you're not very

363
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: high on Tua due to the concussions. Let me ask

364
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 1: you this, do you think that if the Dolphins had

365
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: selected Herbert, had selected Herbert and the team still at

366
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: all this talent around him, would you consider the Dolphins

367
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: to be a top three team in the AFC, right

368
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: behind Kansas City and Cincinnati. I do still believe that

369
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: if Tua can say healthy for a whole season, big

370
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: If I think we can compete with the Bills, well,

371
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: think about this last year when he played, you guys

372
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: were very, very good and very competitive, and Justin Herbert

373
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: is objectively zero. No one can argue unless you're a

374
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: complete troll like Acho Herbert and Tua. They're not even

375
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: remotely close as players. So if you put Herbert on

376
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: the team, now do we know at the highest level

377
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: if he's as good as Burrow and Mahomes. Of course not,

378
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: but he is better than Tua. So if you put

379
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: him with the guys, you have Tyreek Waddle and the

380
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: running backs, and now you're offensive coach who's pretty damn good. Yes,

381
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: like you would. I would pick you right there with

382
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: the Bills. I think a ton of people would pick

383
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins to win the AFC East, and definitely you'd

384
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: be a lock playoff team. Now, a big reason you

385
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs is Tua can't play. But part of

386
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: being a good player is playing, you know, I always

387
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: like you know, it's like the NFL. They argue, so

388
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: much over the guaranteed contracts and the injury guarantees and

389
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Well, yeah, like I pay you to play.

390
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: The NFL makes all this money, not off anything but

391
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: the games. All the money comes, all the cash comes

392
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: from Sundays, Thursdays, and Mondays. So if you're not playing

393
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: in the games, I'm sorry, you do not have that

394
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: much value. You actually get negative value because we kind

395
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: of hold on to this hope that you're gonna be around.

396
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: And I think Tua and listen, no fault of his

397
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: own is in the worst situation because he has this injury.

398
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: It's one thing like you know, if you hurt your

399
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: knee or fuck up your elbow, it's like, well, we

400
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: have a we can set a date, you know, six

401
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: months if it goes a little bad, could be eight

402
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: months like Rock Purty the forty nine ers now like

403
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: six months and worst case scenario it's eight or nine months.

404
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: But there's not like you know, they never heal, right,

405
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean in theory it could never heal. But I'm

406
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: just using example. Like a lot of guys are injured

407
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: right now rehabbing a broken foot, uh, you know, a

408
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: broken hand. I broke my wrist, whatever that there's some

409
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: date with concussions, Like he's cool. I bet today Tua

410
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: might be probably working out. It's like, got he looks good,

411
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: It'll be good all training camp. Then all of a sudden,

412
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: it just happens in a game, and the problem is

413
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: gonna be now because of the gravity obviously of concussions

414
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: and the amount that he's already had. Like, honestly, if

415
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: you just ask someone a football fan to a Tongua

416
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: baila right, and they're like, god, dude's got ten concussions.

417
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: If you just went around the football fans and ask

418
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: him how many concussions Tua had, most people would say

419
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: like five to ten. And I honestly, I don't even know.

420
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: Is it three? Is is it just the two last year?

421
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of people last year

422
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: feel like he got four concussions. Whether that's fair or not,

423
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: that's just kind of the perception. When we saw the

424
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: dude basically die in the field, it looked like, I

425
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: mean that was I mean, DeMar is the worst thing

426
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in a football field. We thought the

427
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: guy was going to die. The Tuoa thing is non

428
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: Hamlin is right up there with like making you just pause,

429
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: like your heart drop that visual and then he's already

430
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: had him separate from that one. So I think it

431
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: makes it very very difficult to feel good about like

432
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: investing in this situation. Just want to say, love the podcast.

433
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: That being said, I'm a huge Ox fan, would really

434
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: love Stroud, but it's looking more like we're taking Carter

435
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: maybe Anderson. What are your thoughts on trading both first

436
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: round picks to move up to number two or what

437
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: would we do with our second first round pick? Take

438
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: a flyer on Hendon Hooker. Love Geno, but you think

439
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: he's a long term answer. Keep up the good work. Well,

440
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: I think it's twofold one. All signs point to Bryce

441
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: Young going number one overall. Now the betting markets, all

442
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: the buzz from the reporters. You never truly know because

443
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: it's lying season, but it feels like Bryce Young is

444
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: going to go number one based off the information we have.

445
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: That means the Texans could potentially pass on a quarterback.

446
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: Who knows what the culture gonna do Arizona trades. I

447
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: think you can sit there. If I had to guess,

448
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: I think John Snyder takes Will Levis. That would be

449
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: my guest. Remember several years ago. Now Josh is a

450
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: more fluid athlete. He loved Josh Allen. He wanted to

451
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: trade Russell Wilson to the Browns for the number one

452
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: overall pick. The deal obviously didn't happen, but it was

453
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: because he wanted Josh Allen. So I would say this

454
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: about John Schnyder when he likes a quarterback Russell Wilson.

455
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, fucking guy knows what he's doing. I would

456
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Will Levis and them or Anthony

457
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: richardson it would you know, Jalen Carter makes a lot

458
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: of sense because you know, kind of a rebel organization

459
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: in the sense of like they take flyers on character guys.

460
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: But man, I would guess one of the big, strong,

461
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: huge upside quarterbacks because you also can red shirt them.

462
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: That's what Gino does. Honestly could red Shurtam for two years.

463
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: They're in a pretty good situation and they got the

464
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: second pick right, so they can take just another good player,

465
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: a defensive player. They can do whatever they want to

466
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: take the best player on the board. Hey, John Anthony

467
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: from Canada, what's up? Bro? You mentioned the previous pod

468
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: that DJ Moore was the least valuable player in the

469
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: list of three Carolina players the bearst asked for. Well,

470
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: I said that, but I also just reiterated what Fitterer

471
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers g said. Right, the hierarchy of their three

472
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: guys were the two D linemen, Burns and Brown and

473
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: DJ and obviously both those guys haven't been extended yet.

474
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: So he was the one that said that, and I

475
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: agreed with him. I mean, you just keep the D

476
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: lineman over the wide receiver. But it wasn't. I mean

477
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: it is. I it's my take too, But the Panthers

478
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: said that. It got me thinking what types of players

479
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: are work drafting and keeping verse getting in free agency? Well,

480
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: the lineman you always like, You can get wide receivers

481
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: in free agency, right Christian Kirk last year, Everyone's like, God,

482
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: he got a lot of money. I probably said that too,

483
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: and then he really productive, really good Juju Smith and

484
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: productive for the Chiefs running backs you find in free agency.

485
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: I'd say dbs you can find in free agency. It

486
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: is very very difficult to find and basically impossible to

487
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: find sweet D linemen. And when you do, you have

488
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: to The forty nine ers got hard grave. They had

489
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: to get four years, eighty million dollars and guarantee forty

490
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: million dollars. The guy's over thirty years old. Now he's

491
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: an ass kicker, but still like that's there's a lot

492
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: of cash for an older player to get tackles, like

493
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: offensive tackles. The Broncos gave McGlinchey fifty million dollars. Mcglinchy

494
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: was easily the worst starter on the San Francisco forty

495
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: nine ers. Offense or defense might be debate, but probably

496
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: of the twenty two starters he'd be. He'd be closer

497
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: to twenty two than he would It's fifteen. He got

498
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. So d Lineman really good guard. I mean,

499
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: you can find a guarter center in free agency. It's

500
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: very very hard to find tackles. U sweet tight ends.

501
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look a look at the Patriots signed a

502
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: couple tight ends a couple of years ago. Kind of

503
00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: regret that one. Quarterbacks obviously, but you know, the sweet

504
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: sweet wide receivers now, for the most part, do get extended.

505
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, in general, really really really good players, I

506
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: mean Pro Bowl impact players get extended. I think that's

507
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: just a tried and true formula. But the d lineman thing.

508
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: Teams do not let really really good defensive lineman walk.

509
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: The only reason the Eagles let Hargrave walk is like

510
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: they just got to pay their quarterback. And you know,

511
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: I think there's some loyalty to guys like Fletcher and

512
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham who obviously got re signed, but those guys

513
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: cost a lot less than Hargrave. It'd basically be impossible

514
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: to give Jalen, you know, one hundred and sixty guaranteed

515
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: and hard like two hundred million dollars to two players

516
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: in an offseason. You know, you just you just can't

517
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: do it. That's where the Eagles were kind of stuck

518
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: on Hargrave. Lex Luthor just heard the rumor the Texans

519
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: g was being let go after the draft, and Adam

520
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: Peters is the next man up. If he wants the job,

521
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: do you think he'll take it? I've heard cal McNair

522
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: is an odd dude to work for. However, it's a

523
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: great opportunity since Dimiko is already there and they have

524
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: picks in the division has been crappy for years. Let

525
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: me know your thoughts. Yeah, I mean, I think it's inevitable.

526
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: Adam Peters is going to become a GM.

527
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: He was.

528
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: He basically was the finalist with Joe. Shane didn't get

529
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: the Giants GM job. Shanees did a good job with

530
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: day Ball. But yeah, I mean, if Casario leaves, that

531
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: feels like the logical spot for Adam, given that he

532
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: would know Dimiko, He's worked with him for the last

533
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: whatever six seven years. He's been groomed to be a

534
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: general manager. The guy's had a ton of success everywhere

535
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: he's been Patriots to l Way to the forty nine Ers.

536
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I I just wonder, And this is

537
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: my take on Cassario is like, it's very, very very

538
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: difficult to have a normal working relationship with this new

539
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: coach who has this long extended contract when you've just

540
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: fired back to back coaches, that's just naturally things get

541
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: a little weird.

542
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of rumors out there. Maybe

543
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: they're true, maybe they're not. But if he is fired,

544
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: or maybe he just leaves to go back to the Patriots,

545
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: I would say Adam Peters makes a lot of sense.

546
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: I would say he makes a ton of sense, and

547
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: it would honestly be a little stunning if he wasn't

548
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: the guy unless he didn't want the job, and he

549
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: just wants He's just cool with staying with John and Kyle,

550
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: which isn't the craziest thing because you know it's weird, right,

551
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: Like John in theory, It's like, God, this guy's got

552
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: a lot going on. Hall of Famer, but he loves

553
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: being the GM you know, I mean loves it. He

554
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: Amazon offered him like twenty million dollars a year. He's like, no,

555
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: just I'll stay with Kyle, who's for all everything I've

556
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: always heard. You know, Kyle gonna be lawn reader in.

557
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: Kyle's not mister happy go lucky for being this young guy.

558
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: He's kind of got some Belichick qualities, can be a

559
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: little crusty, and that's a big part of John's job

560
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: is just calming old Kyle down. And that's it's not easy,

561
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: but John likes it. Man. Some people like being in

562
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: the trenches. Some people like being in the fire, right,

563
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: Like I didn't. It didn't do that much for me,

564
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Like this is my fire. I want to produce content

565
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: like this is I feel in the trenches here. I

566
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: can't you know, at the grind of that. Some people

567
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: can't live without it, right, And John Lynch got a

568
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: taste of it and he's never looked back. So I

569
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: admire that it's all Adam Peters knows from his playing

570
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: career at UCLA to just doing scouting and executive work,

571
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: and he's been very successful at it. So, you know,

572
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: the one thing with Casario, just like a lot of

573
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: these new England guys to become GM or head coaches something,

574
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, they just kind of struggled. Now I've watched

575
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: Casario's press conferences and he's actually loosened up over the years.

576
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: But this situation, just when you fire back to back coaches,

577
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: things just get weird fast. So I would say that's

578
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: one of the biggest, uh biggest things that a lot

579
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: of people around the league are keeping an eye on,

580
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: like what happens after the draft. To me, that situation

581
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: in Denver with General Patton and Sean Payton, you know,

582
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: because I would expect Sean Payton to bring in his

583
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: own gym. Could be wrong, could be wrong, No inside information,

584
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: that's just speculation. Just yeah, I pay a coach eighteen

585
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: million dollars, He's probably just not gonna work with some

586
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: random gym. Usually not the way it works, But hey,

587
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: what do I know have a good weekend. Audios Sey,

588
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: the volume
