42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: let's start with. Let's start with this question. Zach Taylor.

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: He's entering his seventh season as the coach of the

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. His record, if you include the playoffs is

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: fifty one fifty four and one. What's the bare minimum

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: he needs to achieve to ensure he returns in twenty six.

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I watched an interview of Shamarsh

48
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Stewart's agents with some local podcasters that look like it

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: actually made the Bengals look a lot better. This guy's

50
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: an idiot. I mean, I can't even imagine negotiating with

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: this individual. Obviously he lost because he was negotiating. Uh

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: something that has slotted and I just can't even You

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: got to look it up yourself. I think his name's

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: like Zach Hiller or something. I actually sided with Mike

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Brown when watching this, and Shamar Stewart's obviously a practice

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: now and on the team we got Trey Hendrickson back.

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: Hold in, nothing's changed. Mike Brown is like not budging

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: in these negotiations. But there's a lot going on with

59
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals, a ton of pressure on this team. Obviously,

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback is a star. So anytime you have a

61
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: star quarterback, not making the playoffs as a fire ball offence,

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and I think if they were to miss the playoffs again,

63
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: I think he's a one per lock to get fired. Now,

64
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Can they make the playoffs as a wild card and

65
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: be one and done and him keep the job. It

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: happened to Marvin Lewis for a long long time. He

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, would lose in the first round and

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: kept his job forever. So I wouldn't say he'd be

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: a lock to be fired. Would he get an extension?

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot of the line this

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: year with this team. He just hires out Golden from

72
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Penn State. You know, the offense clearly wasn't the issue

73
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: last year. So can the offense just maintain and their

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: defense be better and you would think they're gonna win double

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: digit games, But I don't know. I mean, it's hard

76
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: to get a feel for how this organization works. Mike

77
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: Q keeps growing with every time I tune in. Must

78
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: have a low IQ just kidding, just kidding. Uh grew

79
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: up in Green Bay and still a big Rogers fan.

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: I had an epiphany the other day when thinking about

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. All of

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: the all time greats had Hall of Fame coaches in

83
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: the front Brady Belichick, Mahomes, Reid, Montana Walsh, Breeze, Peyton Manning,

84
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: on and on and on. McCarthy was a great offensive coach,

85
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: but he's not a Hall of Famer, and Laflour is

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: another good offensive mind, but not even the best coach

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: from the Shanahan tree. My question is, do you think

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Rogers would have been more successful in the postseason with

89
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: a Belichick or Reid in his prime. I think it's

90
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: fair to assume that after they won the suit, because

91
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl right in twenty ten, but

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: then their teams were healthier, were better in years moving forward,

93
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: and I do think it's fair to say that they

94
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: get over the hump in how many NFC Championship games

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: they lose. They lost to Seattle, they lost to Tampa,

96
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: they lost the forty nine ers, they lost to I

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: think Dallas is a really high seed. They lost the Falcons,

98
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: but that was a year they kind of made a run.

99
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: They lost a lot of playoff games, where you go,

100
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: if they had a better coach, could that have been

101
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: the difference? I mean, some of those McArthur years. The

102
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: defense was terrible when the Niners and Kaepernick ran all

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: over him. Wasn't Rogers fault. But I do think it's

104
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: fair to look at the Lafleur lost to Tampa was

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: pretty bad. At home, they lost to Seattle was pretty bad.

106
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I think it's fair to assume

107
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: that if you gave Rogers in the peak of his

108
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: powers those four or five years, I mean when he

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: was from like twenty ten to twenty fifteen sixteen, could

110
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: they have won two or three Super Bowls if they

111
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: had Belichick or Andy Reid or Bill Walsh one. I

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: think it's fair to ask yourself that question. Texans fan here,

113
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: and you're you're a high IQ guy, I'm curious and listen.

114
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: Most Hall of Fame coaches have Hall of Fame quarterbacks

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and vice versa, right, most great coaches have a great quarterback.

116
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: The exception is Parcels, and he had the equivalent at

117
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: quarterback on defense in Lawrence Taylor. But in the last

118
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: forty five years, every quote unquote great coach that you

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: know won multiple Super Bowls had Mike Shanahan, Elway, obviously,

120
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Andy Mahomes, Bill Brady. They all had dynamic quarterbacks. I mean,

121
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: all time great quarterbacks chose you McCarthy. You could argue underachieved,

122
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: and I think his Dallas kind of run. McCarthy's McCarthy

123
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: is not bad, but like where is at what level?

124
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: Would you rate him being really good? You know? I

125
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: mean there is a cutoff where you're like, yeah, I

126
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't put them above ten of these guys. Texans fan,

127
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious how you should go about handling their upcoming

128
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: cap situation with CJ and Will Anderson due to extensions

129
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: and now we know both are top five picks in

130
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: the same draft class. I think I've already answered this question.

131
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: I did a couple of weeks ago. I do think

132
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: sometimes and we're all guilty of this, especially in football,

133
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: like how are they going to handle the next three years?

134
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Who cares? It's twenty twenty five, right, so, like, what's

135
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: going to happen in twenty twenty seven with the cap?

136
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: To me, as an NFL fan, you should never be

137
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: worried about that. It is on your organization to manipulate

138
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: the cap and figure it out. But like, once you

139
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: get to the start of the season, worrying about future

140
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: years is kind of a waste. I mean the Eagles,

141
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, They've shown like you can pay a

142
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: bunch of people. You can figure this out if you

143
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: want to, if you choose to, like if the Texans

144
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: want to get really aggressive, they can pay a lot

145
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: of people and really take advantage of this. If those

146
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: guys are stars, Congratulations on life. I remember you talking

147
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: about how Sublime was one of your favorite albums. I

148
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: would love to hear your thoughts of your favorite songs

149
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: from that album and your musical taste in general. When

150
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: I was probably I mean, when did Bradley die mid

151
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: ninety six, ninety seven, ninety five range, I would say

152
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: what I got when that hit the airways on the radio,

153
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: back when radio really mattered, that was a really really

154
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: big deal. Now, you know, I would say, they have

155
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: several songs that I would put up near the top

156
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: doing Time Santa Ria or are pretty good bangers. Yeah,

157
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a big I'm a big musical fan.

158
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean I grew up what I'd say is the

159
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: greatest musical run in the history of America. The nineties.

160
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Elite rock, elite country music, hip hop was really the

161
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: foundation of greatness of rap you know, R and B

162
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: is something that doesn't really exist anymore, was thriving in

163
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: the nineties. So I feel I never understand people that have, like,

164
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really like that type music. I

165
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: can understand if it's like classical music, right, but like,

166
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: if someone's talented, I can listen to anything, so I

167
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: would I lean. I tend to lean like kind of rock,

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: grunge country as my go to. But I put on

169
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: fifty cent Pandora the other day and it has been

170
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: jamming to that working out the last couple of weeks

171
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: for the mailbag. I don't understand why Matt Stafford isn't

172
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: being talked about more. Dway McVeigh talks about injuries. Feels

173
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty two elbow issue that he downplayed and

174
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the the Jackson situation. It's their offensive lineman. Feels like

175
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: the Rams season could fall apart very quickly. How concerned

176
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: should they be with Stafford's injury. I mean, anytime an

177
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: older player is just weak to weak, especially when he

178
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't tweak it at practice, it's one thing. It's like, uh,

179
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm this didn't happen, But like you know, Lane Johnson

180
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: rolled his ankle We're just gonna give him some time off,

181
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: and a couple of days turns into a week like

182
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay, okay, fine, Like that's not that weird.

183
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: I just used him as his example. Could be TJ. Watt,

184
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: could be Trent Williams go round the league, an older

185
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: veteran player. If they tweak something in practice, you're like, listen,

186
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: we're not it's August second. Take a deep breath. Guess

187
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: this guy wasn't playing in the preseason anyway. When you

188
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: show up after the summer, it's like, yeah, I can't go,

189
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: and then and then you say like, hey, he's gonna

190
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna go soon, and then you have to come

191
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: back and be like, yeah, you know, he's just gonna

192
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: be weak to week. I kind of over I overspoke.

193
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jimmy Garoppolo best backup quarterback. I go massive

194
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: red flag. So I think it's very, very concerning because

195
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: even if if you were told me, hey, you gotta

196
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: bet one thousand dollars today, does Matt Stafford start Week one?

197
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: I would lean yes, even though I have no more

198
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: information than anyone else, but just I'd be like, yeah,

199
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: I bet he's able to try to go week one.

200
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Even worst case scenario, what if this pops back up

201
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: in the season and this is not like anytime you

202
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: get like sore elbow or back or some of these

203
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: guys that get sore achilles, like to me, soreness. I

204
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: would rather have like, you know, he just broke two

205
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: fingers or you know what, he he broke his leg,

206
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like a very concrete Hey, this

207
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: is five weeks. This is what it is. We fix it,

208
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: we move on, right, Hey he broke his clavical stuff

209
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: like that sucks. But it's like, okay, I can see

210
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: the light at the end of the tunnel when it's like, yes,

211
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: niece is really sore. It's like his achilles is a

212
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: really sore. So I heard of mccaffre, you know, achilles, achilles, achilles,

213
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like he played three

214
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: games in the season. It's like, what the hell just happened.

215
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: So that type of stuff makes me nervous, and I'm

216
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: pro trust me. I want the Niners to win the division.

217
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: But like I enjoy the Rams being good, and I

218
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: want to see Stafford play. I really like watching him play,

219
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: and I want the Rams to be a playoff factor

220
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: as well. Like I don't root against their situation. I'm

221
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: a big McVeigh fan, but I am very concerned. I'm

222
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna I was gonna bet on the Niners to win

223
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: the division anyway. Obviously the value actually is probably with

224
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals the in Seattle. But have a hard time

225
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger on that though. My guy John Schneider,

226
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: fan of the pod, UH frequent guess now he's I

227
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: guess one time he got an extension, so congrats to him.

228
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: Mail back. When do you think players improve the most?

229
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Is it during the offseason, training camp or during the season. Well,

230
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you can really improve during the off

231
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: When you say the off season, Like I was taught

232
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and I do believe this. This guy's got to improve

233
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: his strength. It's like guys usually don't get stronger. They

234
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: might get weight stronger. Maybe instead of benching this or

235
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: squatting this, they now added fifty seventy five pounds, But

236
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't equate like an offensive lineman or a defensive

237
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: lineman's strength. When they're at Georgia Alabama USC in like

238
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: five years, they're usually not really like they couldn't shove

239
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: guys then and now they're shoving guys. So to me,

240
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: sometimes the weight room training stuff is a little overrated. Obviously,

241
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: you've got to stay in shape. I think where you

242
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: really improve is from year one, where you're just drinking

243
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: out of a fire hose. You get drafted, you try

244
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: to learn the plays. If you're playing, you're just trying

245
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: to survive, get in shape. A lot's going on. Think

246
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: how much easier in this relatable in any one of

247
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: our jobs, whatever you do for a living, Once you've

248
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: been doing it for a while, you become much more comfortable.

249
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to think as much. Whether it's just

250
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: like where do I go to lunch? Where you know

251
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't need to be there today. I really need

252
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: to take care of this. And when you're new to

253
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: a job, when you're new to a situation, especially a

254
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: pressure packed one, it's a lot going on. Well, by

255
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: year two, you don't have to worry about all these

256
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: things because they just become second nature. Where you live,

257
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the route to the FRAX facility, what it's like to

258
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: get ready for a game week, how a game plan

259
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: works in the NFL different from how you did in college.

260
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: So you can just play football instead of thinking and

261
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: playing football. So the game in theory should slow down

262
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: a lot for you as a second year guy, and

263
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: you can just quote unquote play fast and you especially

264
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: if a coach is you know, a position coach, defensive coordinator,

265
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator is returning, you have all the information,

266
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: like you already kind of know the answers to the

267
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: tests that they're going to give you. So think how

268
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: much easier a training camp is when it's like we're

269
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna sall in our place. Well, if I'm Jalen Carter,

270
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I know the plays with Vic Vangil,

271
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: so I can just play. So it's really just on

272
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: me to be in shape, stay healthy, and boom, I

273
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: should be able to kick ass because I know exactly

274
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: what they're going to ask me to do and then

275
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: just figure out how do I adjust from my opponents.

276
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: So I think most people in the league would tell

277
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: you the biggest jump would be from year one to

278
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: year two because it's just way easier in terms of

279
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: all the external stuff that we're a huge factor in

280
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: year one are just more second nature. And then I

281
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: think you should always be improving, right, whether that's I

282
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: think the percentage becomes smaller and it's more of like

283
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: an incremental gain year three to your four year, five,

284
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: year six. But I think if you got with like

285
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams right now now, or you got with you know,

286
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: some of these older players Tyron Matthew before he retired,

287
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: He's like, I can always improve on little things, but

288
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: I think your greatest jump is probably early in your career.

289
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: So why most guys like Jason Kelsey is a huge outlier,

290
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: a guy that didn't start making Pro Bowls in All

291
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Pros until he was like five or six years into

292
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: the league. Most guys really established themselves in the first

293
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: couple of years of their career, year two or year three,

294
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's year three as well. You know, depending

295
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: on the team, are you playing, are you on the rostery,

296
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, Because if you're on the practice

297
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: squad or you're a backup, you're not getting a lot

298
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: of reps once the season starts. So if you're not

299
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: playing that much, if you're just like a special teams guy,

300
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: you actually are probably doing scout team reps, so you

301
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: probably not as improving as much. Like when I was

302
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: at President State, coach hill On Sunday nights would take

303
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: all the guy's red shirting and ever one on the

304
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: big roster that doesn't really play or as a backup,

305
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: and they would have full on scrimmages. So like in

306
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: college football, you play on Saturday, I don't even know

307
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: if it's allowed anymore, and on Sunday night after you know,

308
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: basically you don't really have a practice in college football

309
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Sometimes you just run gasers to get the

310
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: like lactic acid and the soreness, and they have a lift,

311
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: but they would pad up basically the twenty thirty guys

312
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: red shirting and then maybe fifteen more twenty more that

313
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: are on the big roster but they don't really play,

314
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: and then they would just play a scrimmage. I forget

315
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: how many plays it would be, but it would like

316
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: you would get to work on it, because that guy,

317
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: once the season is going, doesn't really get to work

318
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: on his craft, which that definitely does not happen in

319
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. So it's hard. It's hard to improve. It's

320
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: why in college, you know, spring practice is in paths,

321
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: so you can take huge jumps. You can only take

322
00:17:54,359 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: so many jumps in the pros in OTAs which I

323
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: think most of these coaches. I think if you've got

324
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: Andy Reid or Pete Carroll or some of these guys,

325
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: they would say what OTAs have become is just like

326
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: a metal walkthroom. I expectations for each team change each season.

327
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: Success can vary a lot depending from the perspective that

328
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: we look at it. Making the playoffs as the fourth

329
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: seed and winning a wild card game before being bounced

330
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: on the divisional round would be great for the charger

331
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: of the Broncos. The Chiefs would see that as a letdown. Similarly,

332
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: each quarterback has held to different standards. My question is

333
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: how would you define success for each of the year.

334
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Each of the year two quarterbacks who started Week one

335
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: for their team, Williams, Daniels and Knicks. I would say

336
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: for Kleb, it would be to establish himself as a

337
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: really good player, right and if he established him as

338
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: a really good player, they should be a team above

339
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: five hundred. Now, I think if you if Ben Johnson's

340
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: first year, Caleb is just good. Let's say he throws

341
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns, ten picks and they win nine games like

342
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: that would be a successful year. And it's like, Okay,

343
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: Caleb's a franchise quarterback. This guy's a really good player.

344
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Has some down moments as any Patrick Mahomes as bad games,

345
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: but as some games we're like, oh shit, this guy

346
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: can this guy can play a couple of big upsets

347
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: throughout the year. I think for Knicks and Daniels, I mean,

348
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say the expectations fair or not.

349
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: It's like, can Jayde Daniels compete to win the MVP?

350
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: You know? Patrick Mahomes won an MVP in his first

351
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: year starting, which was year two. Lamar Jackson won the

352
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: MVP in a second year. It's like, can if he's

353
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: going to be that great of a player, can he

354
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: win the MVP. We were talking about that with CJ.

355
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Stroud last year. It's like, this guy gonna win the

356
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: MVP year two and obviously did not. He didn't play

357
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: very well last year for me Bo Knicks, as a

358
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: lot of Bronco fans will tell you, look at the stats,

359
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: they're better or just as good as Jayden Daniels. They're

360
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna play real teams this year, so it's like, can

361
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: you beat some people that matter? You know? Last year,

362
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: as a lot of people have pointed out, I don't

363
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: think they've beat that many good teams, so it's like,

364
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: can he outplay Justin Herbert obviously, Joe Burrow. I'm looking

365
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: at their schedule, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott's c J Stroud,

366
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels, Jordan Love. Their schedules is harder now. I

367
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: think the Bronx is gonna be pretty good. And if

368
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: he's good and you have an elite defense, they're gonna

369
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: win eleven twelve games. A question for the bag. If

370
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: you were GM right now and had to pick one

371
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: quarterback to start your franchise with, would you rather have

372
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: cam Ward or Trevor Lawrence. I know you've never seen

373
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: cam play an NFL game, but we've also seen the

374
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: highs and lows of THEW It wouldn't even be a

375
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: question for me. I take cam Ward. I just don't

376
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: think Trevor Lawrence that good. Now, like you said, I

377
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know about cam Ward, but I would one hundred

378
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: percent take the especially. I mean, one thing you have

379
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: to do. I'm getting a guy on a rookie quarterback

380
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract, so if it does fail in

381
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: a couple of years, three years, I can pivot out

382
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: of it. Trevor Lawrence. He gave two hundred million dollars

383
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: to I wouldn't even hesitate. The unknown of cam Ward

384
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: is dramatically better than the known from what we've seen

385
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence. I can't imagine there'd be many gms

386
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: in the league that would you got a factor in

387
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: the contract, would choose any different haven't missed a show

388
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: in two plus years? Kind of like this guy, Jared

389
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: question a couple of running rookie running backs. I'm excited

390
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: about Henderson, Hampton, Harvey. Do you have a favorite out

391
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: of that group to make the biggest impact this year?

392
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: How do you see contributing in the run in the

393
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: past game topics suggestion, It is always difficult to know

394
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: how college players translate to the NFL. Big names don't

395
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: pan out unless recognize names are studs. Who is one

396
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: rookie second year player from each team or division that

397
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: you or your buddies around the league then could make

398
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: a big impact this year. I think this is the

399
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: hard thing on your topics suggestion. One thing I've learned

400
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: over the last fifteen years of being around the NFL,

401
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: going to these practices, just talking about this league. For

402
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: a living is I don't get that excited beside you

403
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: first round picks, but I have seen so much hype

404
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: on a third rounder, and by the end of camp,

405
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent is way better in that guy.

406
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: And I think the underrated part is most people don't

407
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: put that much stock in six to seventh and undrafted

408
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: free agents, and every single year, on the majority of teams,

409
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: those guys not only make teams, they end up starting,

410
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: they end up becoming good players. So it's honestly impossible

411
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: to even guess. So honestly, I don't really talk about

412
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: most guys got drafted in the top like fifty until

413
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: the season starts, because I got no clue. It's a

414
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: complete guess. I know it's kind of a fun exercise,

415
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: but I don't follow the draft close enough to even

416
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: take educated guesses on fifth, sixth, seventh rounders. I would

417
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: say this, I don't know how good the Patriots offense

418
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: is going to be. Henderson's a home run hitter, you know.

419
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: I read something Josh McDaniels like, I don't know if

420
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: this was ai or fake, but I kind of believed

421
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: it that after he got fired from the Raiders, he

422
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: like found a deep spiritual he found God or something again,

423
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: could be fake, but like kind of tried to change

424
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: his personality because for the second time in his career,

425
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: becoming a head coach, everyone hated him and like watch out.

426
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: He thinks his offense can be pretty dynamic this year.

427
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that how great their offensive line

428
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: is going to be. I think the other two guys,

429
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: Najee Harris, did he blow out his eyeball? I mean,

430
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: I know they tried in his agent who I know,

431
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: Doug tried to underplay like, hey, it's not that serious.

432
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: It's clearly pretty seriously camp practice. And I think he's

433
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: a great unknown. Now. I've always thought Nase as a player,

434
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: and I falled him since high school and I was

435
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: really excited when he went to Alabama. I you know,

436
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: I think it's easy to be like, ah the Steelers.

437
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: I think he's a little overrated in terms of a

438
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: guy that was drafted in the first round. You know,

439
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: I think if you could redo a draft, he's like

440
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: a third round pick. So Hampton was gonna start over

441
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: him regardless now that he's not even gonna be a factor.

442
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: Who's even splitting carries with assuming that who knows. Maybe Naje,

443
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: you can't really, maybe starts the season on Pop. So

444
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: I think Hardball would ride Hampton like a like secretariat,

445
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: and their offensive line has two sweet tackles a sweet guard.

446
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: I would think Hampton is going to be really good.

447
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: I was watching Sean Payton's press conference for some reason.

448
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: It comes up on my YouTube feed. Sean Payton all

449
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: the time he had a comment would have been like Tuesday,

450
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: he's like r J Hampton busted out or not RJ Hampton,

451
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: but RJ Harvey had a run in practice, or he's

452
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: like we kind of looked at each other and he's

453
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: either talking about the quarterback coach or you know, his

454
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator or whatever. I know Sean's technically the offensive coordinator,

455
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: but one of his other coaches like holy shit. So

456
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: two things Harbaugh and Sean Payton like the team's there, baby,

457
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: like they're in complete control. And Harbaugh drafted this guy

458
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: in the first round to play running back, and Sean

459
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: Payton drafted this guy where was RJ taking the second round?

460
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: Clearly loves the player. I think both those two guys,

461
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: if you're into fantasy football, if you're gambling this year

462
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: on like prop bets those guys have heart ons for

463
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: those two guys. So Harbaugh loves to run the football.

464
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: He just drafted guy in the first round, and Sean

465
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Payton talks about this guy like he fucking loves him.

466
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: He talked about him when he was when they drafted him.

467
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Huge fan. I've been a big fan of colin the

468
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: past twenty years, and I've found you threw his podcast.

469
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you could give any insight into his

470
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: obsession with the WA I'm a huge sports fan and

471
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: I've never met one person who has ever watched a

472
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: WNBA game. He never talks about hockey or golf and

473
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: rally baseball because he says that people don't listen for

474
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: those sports, but he talks WNBA almost daily. The Tiger

475
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: Woods and Kaitlin Clark comparisons are ludicrous. Where I agree

476
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: with that, it's like, now that she's injured, she is

477
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: where they are fair is she is a transcendent name

478
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: that took a sport that didn't have as many eyeballs

479
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: and created I mean, they had one hundred thousand people

480
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: watching a couple of years ago. In her draft, I

481
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: think like three or four million people watched so Colin

482
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: does a television show and I'm just curious if he's

483
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: trying to buy a WNBA team or another reason. He

484
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: has the metrics of who's listening and who's not listening.

485
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: So when you turn on these television shows and people

486
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: are talking about the Cowboys and people are talking about Lebron,

487
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: they're not doing it randomly. They have all the metrics.

488
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: The reason they've never talked about the w NBA is

489
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: because absolutely no one gave a shit. And do you

490
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: know what Caitlin Clark has done. I've probably watched in

491
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: her WNBA career, I mean start to finish one of

492
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: her games. But I feel like I follow her career

493
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: relatively closely, like I know what's going on with her.

494
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: She's created, like people just casually follow her. The reason

495
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: you can talk about the NFL every single day through

496
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: sixty five if you want to, because people casually follow

497
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: football like Lebron James or Steph Curry. I don't have

498
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: to watch Lebron James play a game in basketball, like

499
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't watch that many Laker games right throughout the

500
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: course of the season, but like if something happens to him,

501
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: people casually follow Lebron James. They kind of know why

502
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: because he's like this really famous guy, and that's what

503
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: she became. She became really famous. So like when he's

504
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: talking about her on the television show, are most people

505
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 1: that are interested in Kaitlyn Clark watching all of her games?

506
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: No fucking chance, right, So it's like she has become

507
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: She's just a pretty transcendent individual like Tiger. Like you said,

508
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: Tiger went pro in ninety six, in nineteen ninety seventy

509
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: won that he won the Masters. Within a couple of years,

510
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: he had like five or six Majors and was beating

511
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: the shit out of everybody. It's Caitlin Clark Tiger Woods.

512
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: In terms of on the court or on the course, no,

513
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: she's not as good as him, But in terms of

514
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: moving the needle, I do think she has proven she

515
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: can move the needle. Because people, no one's ever watched

516
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: WNBA games in the history of the league. It was

517
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: a dog shit product that the NBA subsidies and still does.

518
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: Now they have a lot of people watching, and she's

519
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: the main reason. Because she got injured, their ratings went

520
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: in the tank. So like, for whatever reason, you can

521
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: hear a million people argue a million things. To me,

522
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: she's just kind of interesting and she's fun to watch play.

523
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: But no one talks anything on television without knowing that

524
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: this is working in twenty twenty five and really for

525
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: a long time. They have the information, I have the

526
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: metrics of what kind of works and what doesn't work

527
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: for us. You mentioned earlier that you thought dj would

528
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: win the starting job because they gave him fourteen million dollars.

529
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: From what I've seen so far in training camp, Ar

530
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: looks like he's out playing Jones. He's taking the layups

531
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: and making some tight window throws, and is more explosive

532
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: overall in both arm strength and running. Daniel has played okay,

533
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: but given that they've invested a fourth overall pick in

534
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, I believe Jones would need to clearly outplay

535
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 1: Ar to win the job. Has your opinion changed at

536
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: all on Richardson versus Jones going into the season. I'll

537
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: be honest, I haven't followed the camp of the Indianapolis

538
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: Colts that carefully, so I can't speak to like who's

539
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,479
Speaker 1: split in ramps, who's made plays. I saw McAfee posted

540
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: some clips of Ar that look kind of sweet. He's

541
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: always been a highlight. I'm with you. If he is

542
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: like hitting the layup throws and hitting wheel routes and

543
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: stays healthy, he should win the job. But it's July thirtieth,

544
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean, you have more information than me

545
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: in terms of how things have gone the last week.

546
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't even I haven't even seen that

547
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: many headlines on the Colts I feel like, so I

548
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: will stick with what I said. I think Daniel Jones

549
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: gonna be the starting quarterback. Can Anthony Richardsons stay healthy

550
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: for a month in training camp? How does he look

551
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: at some of these preseason games? Or are they even

552
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna play him in the preseason games? I don't know.

553
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: I might as well stick with my opinion until I'm

554
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: proven wrong, mainly because I just haven't seen or heard anything.

555
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: But you're more dialed in than me. If Anthony Richinson's

556
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: making sweet plays where I do agree with you, if

557
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: like if he is, if it's close and he's like better,

558
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: like Ty's gonna go to Anthony Richardson. I just felt

559
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: like there was no way that he would be that

560
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: good given everything that happened. But maybe I don't know,

561
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you finally figured it out, which would change their trajectory,

562
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: which usually doesn't happen that way. But all I've been

563
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: hearing is how this year is the Charger to Broncos

564
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: are going to take the AFC West, And honestly, I

565
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: love it. Keep fueling the fire. My question is almost

566
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. I saw they have the furthest distance

567
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: travel schedule in the league this year. Curious that actually

568
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: has an effect on the rest and recovery of players. Meanwhile,

569
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals have the shortest distance traveled. Is this the

570
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: most irrelevant or is this something to take into consideration.

571
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: How do you think if you looked at the history

572
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: of travel, most teams that are on the coasts, right,

573
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: if you're the Dallas Cowboys, are never going to lead

574
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the league in travel. The Houston Texans are the Green

575
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, right because their travel is always kind of

576
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: cut half. Where if you draw, do I have the

577
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, Let's pull up the Chargers. So the Chargers

578
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: even factoring in the I mean, they're playing an extra

579
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: preseason game in cand Ohio, but they have games at

580
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: New York, at Miami, at Tennessee, at Jacksonville. Yeah, I

581
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: mean it's just when you play certain divisions, you just

582
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: have to travel a little bit farther. So they got

583
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: they drew the East and two of their games are

584
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Cowboys, which isn't terrible. Listen, I

585
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: think it can be a little overrated on the aggregate. Right,

586
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: he had a private plane. It's not even a price.

587
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: You charter a massive jet. The amount of food, recovery stuff,

588
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you have everything for you. You get to the hotel,

589
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: you can take care of your body. Where it does

590
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: impact you is on the shorter weeks. So if you

591
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: have I think past like the first couple of weeks,

592
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: you're a Thursday night game if you're the Chargers or

593
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos and you gotta play the Dolphins or the Giants.

594
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm just making these up. That to me is a

595
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: huge disadvantage if you have a road short week game

596
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: that is a far travel. If you're the Chargers and

597
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: your short week is playing the Niners, not that crazy, now,

598
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: it's never ideal to have to get on a plane.

599
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: The other thing where it does impact you is like

600
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: if you play Monday night football or Sunday night football

601
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: on the road, far away that to me is more

602
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: if you have a ten am kickoff and you're the

603
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: Chargers against like, let's see how their schedule starts. Chiefs

604
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: at home are Chiefs in Brazil. I forgot about the

605
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Brazil game. That sucks, but that sucks for the Chiefs too.

606
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Broncos like at the Giants nine to twenty eight, but

607
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: that's a morning game. Even the Chiefs game in the

608
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: Brazil game sucks, but they don't play again till Monday

609
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Night football ten days later. They get Thursday night football

610
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: at home against Minnesota. They get the Steelers Sunday Night Football,

611
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: but that's at home. They get the Eagles Monday Night Football,

612
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: but that's at home. They have a lot of eleven

613
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: o'clock kickoffs. I guess Mountain time ten o'clock, Like they

614
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: have a lot of morning kickoffs in Arizona. We go

615
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: from ten to eleven. Is kind of weird. Okay, congrats

616
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: on the kid. Well, I don't have the kid yet,

617
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: but the kids growing by the day. Maria showed me

618
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: a picture of what the kid my son looks like today,

619
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: so he's a grown boy. Not the actual picture from

620
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: the ultrasound, but like a computer version of like how

621
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: big he is. I have a six month old son,

622
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: and it's a great honor making him a Cleveland Brown

623
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: fan and having a full life of pain. My question

624
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: with your son are you gonna let him pick his

625
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: own teams or will you influence him to a certain team.

626
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: I will have no influence. He can root for and

627
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: whoever he wants. Who knows. Maybe listen, what if he

628
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: doesn't like sports, what if sports aren't part of his world?

629
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: He can do whatever he wants. Now, if he ends

630
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: up watching a lot of games with me, which I'm

631
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: sure he will do, I'm sure he'll gravitate to someone.

632
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: But you know one thing about like the way I

633
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: grew up loving the Niners and the Giants is I

634
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: lived in northern California, so I would go to Giants games.

635
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: I went to Candlestick to watch Barry Bonds in Matt

636
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: Williams play baseball in nineteen ninety three, in nineteen ninety five,

637
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six, right before they ever built Oracle.

638
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: I never went to a forty nine er game as

639
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: a kid. But there wasn't a human being that I

640
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: was around that wasn't watching Steve Young and Jerry Rice.

641
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: When I was kind of coming into my own at nine, ten,

642
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: eleven years old. So my son is going to grow

643
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: up in Arizona, so who knows. I mean, the impact

644
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: of the teams is going to like the Cardinals, I

645
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: hope not, but or he likes Cowboys. Who is the

646
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 1: biggest draft bust of all time? My vote is Trey Lance.

647
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: He's playing in the Hall of Fame game for the Chargers.

648
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Not the Niners or the Cowboys, but the Chargers. They

649
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: spent three first round picks to get him. My dad

650
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: is a big Niner fan, couldn't accept that answer and

651
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: said it had to be JaMarcus Russell. What is your opinion?

652
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: There's a good question, and I think here's the key.

653
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm not putting Trey Lance and JaMarcus Russell in the

654
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: same lane. JaMarcus Russell played at LSU, had big time talent,

655
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: didn't try, was on the purple drink, didn't study, didn't

656
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: give a you know what, and was terrible. It was

657
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: out of the league in a couple of years. But no,

658
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: no one disputed, especially back then the way the league was.

659
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: His physical attributes and his ability to play. He just

660
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: did not care. He did not try, but he guy

661
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: had played at LSU, he had won big games in college.

662
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: Like this guy was a real prospect. Trey Lance, to

663
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: me a little bit of a Fugazi prospect. Played at

664
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: a small school, did not have Division one offers to

665
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: play quarterback, and I'm not talking to small school. Played

666
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: in D one Double A at North Dakota State, and

667
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: he was a backup to other guys that played in

668
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: the NFL. Started for one year in twenty nineteen. They

669
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: did not lose a game because their ability they dominate

670
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: that level. Well, twenty twenty happened. He did not have

671
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: a season because in D one Double A with the

672
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: Wuhan lab and the Rona ripping, they canceled football. This

673
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: is not the SEC or the Big Ten. This was

674
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: D one Double A that canceled it. So he did

675
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: not play. He actually played one game and it was

676
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: a joke. So I do think if he had played

677
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: more D one Double A, what he really have gone

678
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: on the top five. Because he's just not very good.

679
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: And like you said, he's playing in the Hall of

680
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: Fame game starting Harbaugh's actually throwing him a bone. He

681
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: can't win the backup job anywhere. He can't be a

682
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: backup in the NFL. But that's not his fault. He

683
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: just wasn't that good. And I think in a normal

684
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: circumstance in twenty twenty five, a guy that played multiple

685
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: years in d one to blame. I don't know if

686
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: he would have been drafted that high. Like a huge

687
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: part of the reason the Niners drafted him weird year.

688
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: They were desperate. They loved his character, but physically I

689
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: was going to practices early on in his career not

690
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: very accurate. His athleticism doesn't really translate. Like I put

691
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: his failure on the forty nine ers and just twenty twenty,

692
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: like JaMarcus Russell failed, not because the Raiders because of

693
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell. Like some guys just you know Johnny Manzel,

694
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: like he just didn't try. If you watched his documentary

695
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: in Netflix, he's like, yeah, he didn't give a shit.

696
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: This is getting wasted, went to Vegas. He's like quit,

697
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: Trey Lance is trying. Treil Lance just really tried. Trail

698
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: Lan's like a high character guy. People like him. He

699
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: just isn't good enough like that to me is more

700
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: on the team. So when I think the word draft bust,

701
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: I think of a guy that like did not live

702
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: up to his potential. Like some guys like that guy

703
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: should not have been drafted there, like Solomon Thomas. The

704
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: forty nine ers drafted him third overall. Solomon Thomas should

705
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: have been like a third round pick and he would

706
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: have like a he's gonna have a twelve thirteen year career,

707
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: but he just never should have been drafted that hy

708
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: Mis Trubisky like it is he a bust? He was

709
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: a number two overall. He's not that good, kind of

710
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: like Trey Lance. I put that more on the Bears.

711
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: He has no touch, he's not very instinctive. So it's

712
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: like he never was gonna be that good. Where it's

713
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: like JaMarcus Russell could have been good. That there are

714
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: players that could have been good that if you do

715
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: not try and that's the reason you live up to it,

716
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: Like are you a bust if you're if you get injured,

717
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: that one's hard for me. But I do think when

718
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: you literally just don't try like that to me is

719
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: a bust on the player. Good question. I'd put JaMarcus

720
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: Russell Ryan leif like Ryan Leaf was a real prospect,

721
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: right that was he was a real talent Trey Lance

722
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: was not at the at the level in which he

723
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: was traded for and drafted. I mean he's a he's

724
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: an NFL you know, fringe, third string practice squad guy.

725
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: Question for the pod, with the possibility of Netflix being

726
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: a part of the NFL TV rights deal, is it

727
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: safe to assume Netflix stock with Skyrocket? Why? That's a

728
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: good question. Let's check in on a Netflix stock right now.

729
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: One of my great regrets is never going all in

730
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: on this like five years ago. Netflix. So it's fifty

731
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: two week low is five hundred and eighty seven dollars.

732
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: It's fifty two week high is thirteen hundred dollars. It's

733
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: currently sitting at a shade under twelve hundred dollars a share.

734
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: So it has gone up in a five year period

735
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty percent, in a ten year period

736
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: almost well over nine x. So is buying the NFL

737
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: going to dramatically change the amount of people that subscribe

738
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: to Netflix? It would definitely help. I do wonder Let's

739
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: just say, let's say Opening Night Chiefs not Chiefs Chiefs

740
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: Chargers play Week two. I actually think that's a good example.

741
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: It's on YouTube. What is the difference in terms of

742
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: the amount of people that watch Opening Night, which I

743
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: would imagine Cowboys Eagles is on NBC Thursday night, and

744
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: the YouTube Game two in Brazil on Friday. Because it

745
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: is different, you gotta subscribe to Netflix. But I do

746
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: think there is anyone will tell you in the business

747
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: being on Fox, being on CBS, being on ABC, NBC

748
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: is a game changers. There are still people that don't

749
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: I guess, have the Internet or cable or whatever. I

750
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: just don't know any human being in my life, any

751
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: human being that includes my mother who's in our mid

752
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: late seventies, who does not have Netflix Slash watch it.

753
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that it won't hurt, But

754
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a thirty percent increase.

755
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Do you believe Odell Beckham's junior's career is over? If not,

756
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: what organization and roster can you believe he can contribute to?

757
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: How would you assess his career. I think he underachieved

758
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: given the talent that he had, and part of that

759
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: was the Giants. They fell apart when they traded him

760
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and that thing did not work out. But

761
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: if you go a YouTube, the first couple of years

762
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: of Odell Beckham. He was an elite talent, hunt returner,

763
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: deep threat, could break tackles, his play speed, he was

764
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: pretty special. Like it wasn't just some flash in the pan.

765
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: It was like, this fucking guy can play. Then he

766
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: gets injured and he's quit. Never quite the same. But

767
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: I do think Cleveland, you know, over the internet era,

768
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: has been a place where people's careers can go to die,

769
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: and I do think that really really derailed his career.

770
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: Is this now or never for Jordan Love? Will Packers

771
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: fans see the controversial draft pick and ousting of Rogers payoff?

772
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: It's a great question. I don't think it's now or

773
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: never for the guy, but there is tangible pressure on

774
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: this franchise. New president, he did not hire the coach

775
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: in the GM. The coach in the GM's futures are

776
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: tied to this quarterback or they paid a lot of money.

777
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: Who's coming off a weird season that was banged up.

778
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: Are they going to be good enough on offense to

779
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: take the next step? You know? Is this a team

780
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: that went one in five in the division. So I

781
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: don't think it's now or never, but I do think

782
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of now. Okay, it's time. It's time for Lafleur,

783
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: it's time for Jordan Love, It's time for this team.

784
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: Like this is a good year for them to win

785
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen games and be a major factor in the playoffs.

786
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: So desperate for football, I'm watching the Brady and Mahomes

787
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: AFC Championship. How long until NFL teams adopt adopt the

788
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: golf like simulator on the sideline for kickers? Right now,

789
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: the guys kick into a net with no feedback. Is

790
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: track man like technology on the sideline against the rules.

791
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: It's a great fucking question. I don't see how it

792
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: would be given that they have iPads on the sidelines. Now,

793
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: if you told me ten years ago, you know, whatever

794
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: the year was that they started allowing like technology on

795
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: the sideline, I don't see why you can have an

796
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: iPad and look at the plays on offense or defense,

797
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: but I can't have a track man for to kick

798
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: to know where it would go. I'm totally with you.

799
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: Why can the kicker not have the ability to go? God,

800
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm missing that a little left. And honestly, I don't

801
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: know is there track man technology that could do it

802
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: with a football? Because if there is I think we

803
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: should institute that immediately, and there would be some owners

804
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: like I don't want to pay for this because they

805
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: ain't cheap, but I'd be interested if there are kickers

806
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: in the league that utilize any sort of technological advances

807
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: like that, either in the offseason or with their team.

808
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: But that's never thought about. That great question. What are

809
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: your expectations for Omarion Hampton in year one in Harbaugh's

810
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: version of the Chargers with nij with Nase can't even speak.

811
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: We talked about this a little earlier. I don't think

812
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: it's outrageous to go offensive rookie of the year. Could

813
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: Hampton be a thirteen hundred yard rusher and have ten

814
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: plus touchdowns because he's it's pretty freaking good. So I

815
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: would say offensive Rookie of the Year would be on

816
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: the table for sure. In a recent interview at the

817
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: Manning Passing Academy, Arch Manning said Burrow and Josh Allen

818
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,479
Speaker 1: are his favorite quarterbacks to watch. Even with the small

819
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: sample size we've seen so far of Arch, do you

820
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: notice any similarities in their style of playing? Showing up

821
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: in his game, I've noticed that his footwork is crisp

822
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: and he throws a nice accurate deep ball, and he's

823
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: got nice speed. But other than that, I'm curious to

824
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: hear your take. I maybe I'm being too harsh. I

825
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: thought his arm. You know, Josh Allen has an elite arm.

826
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: Burrow does not. But Burrow's such a natural player and

827
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: his motion is kind of over the top to me.

828
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: Arch again, I have to study it. A little stronger,

829
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: feels a little lower than Burrows. Similar like Burrow doesn't

830
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: have a hose but has a good enough arm. One

831
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: thing that Arch has, it's probably closer to Joe different

832
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: from Joe's. He can really move. He's a really really

833
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: good athlete, which makes sense his dad Cooper. I forget

834
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: the exact disease or sickness he got, but he was

835
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: going to Old Miss to play wide receiver. So I

836
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: think Arch is like a trying to think who a player.

837
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Josh Allen is a superb athlete. I

838
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 1: think Archs is a really good athlete. You know, maybe

839
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: a young Aaron Rodgers who could really really move and throw.

840
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: But he doesn't have the arm of Aaron. I'm trying

841
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: to think of like physical comps. He's taller than that.

842
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got a I don't have a

843
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: comp right now. That makes sense in my head. And

844
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: yesterday Jimmy Haslum said and he knows the Mannings really well.

845
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: He said he expects Arts to play multiple seasons of Texas.

846
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: I would imagine Arch who what year is he now?

847
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a red shirt sophomore. I think he's

848
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: gonna graduate from college, would be my guess. So part

849
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: of staying two years would be like, I want to

850
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: be a two year starter and I want to graduate

851
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: from college. John Mailbag question, John Dorsey. I've been following

852
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: this guy because of his personality and second because of

853
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: how little credit this guy gets from drafting some of

854
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: the best players in the NFL Baker Kelsey, Tyreek, Nick Chubb,

855
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes even was the head scout for Aaron Rodgers. His

856
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: ability to draft players early in late rounds is undeniable,

857
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: But the fact he can't keep a job as a

858
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: GM doesn't make sense. Every time he can, he's hired

859
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: the next day as a head advisor or scout to

860
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: another team. Now, I understand he failed badly with coaches,

861
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: but most of the time that's not a GM's decision.

862
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: He drafted the first Chief Super Bowl team, but nobody

863
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: talks about that. What are your thoughts on him? And

864
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: did you ever know John never met the guy? Maybe

865
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: I have met him at the combine, like really briefly

866
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: when I was young. But there is no disputing John

867
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: Dorsey's ability to evaluate football players. There was a reason

868
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: when Andy went to Kansas City and he's like, I'm

869
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: not going to be the GM anymore. Hire John Dorsey

870
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: and said, you run the personnel department. And the only

871
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: guy they took from Kansas City was or from Philly

872
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: was Veach. He's like, I'm not stealing any of the guys.

873
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: Give me one. Beach is my guy, and took them.

874
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: But I think Veach and and Dorsey are similar in

875
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: the sense of like they're very very good at evaluating players.

876
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: Now part of being a GM, it's like, is John

877
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: Dorsey good enough with the finances? Is John Dorsey good

878
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: enough at dealing with the owners? Is John Dorsey good

879
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: enough at dealing with the agents? You know, being a GM,

880
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: the reason John Schneider is going to have a twenty

881
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: year career in Seattle, the reason Howie Roseman is unreal,

882
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: the reason Jason light Nick Cassario. These guys have to

883
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: do a lot of things. You know. One problem with

884
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: Trent Balke is, you know what Trent Balke wanted to do,

885
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: close the door, turnumph like to watch film twenty four seven,

886
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: three sixty five, and then he realized I kind of

887
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: got to play the politician. But he wasn't good at

888
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: working with coaches. He was terrible at working with staffs.

889
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: You got to be good at everything. And I do

890
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: think and again I'm projecting a little bit. You know,

891
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: the reason he was fired in Kansas City was financially,

892
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't good at managing the cap and the owner,

893
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: who is a money guy finance major, was like, you're fired.

894
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: I can't speak to what happened in Cleveland, But like

895
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: just picking players, John Dorsey's good at that, but football

896
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: is about a lot more than just picking players. I've

897
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: been a Jets fan since nine. I'm twenty six. We

898
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: haven't made the NFL playoffs since I was in middle school.

899
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm in the minority, and I'm not buying Aaron Glenn

900
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: at all. A brilliant owner just hired a good DC

901
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: out of SF. The last hire in his first NFL

902
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: head coaching gig and how did that go. I'm not

903
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: forgetting they needed something different. Glenn is talking hot to

904
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: the media, and that's what these guys all do. They

905
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: say they can handle it, but everyone's a hot shot

906
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: till they get their ass kicked. I'm an OSU grad,

907
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see fields in Wilson this season.

908
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: But other than that, my question is why would I

909
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: have any hope this year? We are the worst franchise

910
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: at sports uh. I would say this about Aaron Glenn.

911
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: That's different than Robert Sala. You know, Aaron Glenn was

912
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: a high level player, scouted, became a position coach, and

913
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: then became one of the best defensive coordinators. Robert Sala

914
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: did not play in the NFL for fifteen twenty years.

915
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Glenn's career. I think it was like

916
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years playing playing. I do think last year

917
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: was kind of a masterpiece. Him winning that game with

918
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: the random guys to win the division was remarkable to watch.

919
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: So his ability to deal with players is pretty impressive.

920
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, Robert Sala had like two good years honestly,

921
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: one twenty nineteen for the forty nine ers. The team

922
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: was not good in twenty twenty. It's hard to even

923
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: judge twenty twenty now. Robert sala is a good defensive coordinator,

924
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: but was completely over his head with a lot of

925
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: stuff and hadn't really been in a high level position

926
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: for long in the NFL. I mean, he wasn't that

927
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: far removed from being like a quality control assistant Aaron Glenn. Like,

928
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: look google his resume. It's pretty impressive. Ben with Sean Payton,

929
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: been with Dan Campbell. You know, Robert sala is not

930
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 1: that far removed from like working for Gus Bradley. Kyle

931
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: hired him because he couldn't get Vic Fangio. So I

932
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: think Aaron Glenn is much more prepared for this job.

933
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: That being said, I don't think you can win games

934
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: with justin fields like I do not expect the Jets

935
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: to be good on offense. I just don't think. I

936
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: think he's kind of he's kind of proven, Like he

937
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: just struggles in just a normal passing attack like Garrett Wilson.

938
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: It's how's that gonna go? I don't know. Now he

939
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: got so much money, he might not care as much anymore,

940
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: but most wide receivers want the rock. I'm interested in

941
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the trajectory of Jalen into his career,

942
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: you would be a fool to put two above Jalen

943
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: in any quarterback ranking. But not too long ago they

944
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: were on the exact same team and it was Jalen

945
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: being benched and had a transfer in favor of to

946
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: Tua looked like clearly the better quarterback, at least in

947
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: my eyes, I was saying, in everyone's eyes, including Nick Sabans.

948
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: Do they are completely different paths at this point? Surprise you.

949
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of where they landed to his

950
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: injuries or is there something about Jalen's game that makes

951
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 1: him a better fit in the NFL. Well, Tua one

952
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: is just a small, bad athlete, so that doesn't always

953
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: translate to the NFL. Right, Tua can be accurate, but

954
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: he's not super dynamic player. Like, what is Tua's best

955
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: skill getting rid of the ball really quickly accurately? I mean,

956
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: so it was a decent d ball. But like Jalen

957
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 1: is an elite. Elite would be strong. That's like Michael Vick.

958
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: But he is an excellent, excellent NFL athlete and runner

959
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: of the football. He is a dynamic player with the

960
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, and he is an exceptional deep

961
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: ball thrower. Then he plays on a team like obviously

962
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Who are your teammates? He has better teammates,

963
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: but he has way more physical skills than Tua right,

964
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: and Tua like, okay, you know, pick you apart like

965
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: the left handed Drew Brees. We've seen him. He can't

966
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 1: really do that. So I actually think Jalen has more

967
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: physical attributes to have a higher ceiling than Tua right.

968
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: Even though at the same time, like I struggle with

969
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: this because I don't respect many people that like love

970
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: talking about the past, because I think it's easy to

971
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: be like, well, in twenty fifteen, you know, I was

972
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: doing really well. My dad was a farmer in like

973
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties and nineties, and like economic recessions

974
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: back in the day would cripple people. So I knew

975
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people through my dad that had had

976
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: great times were crushing it and then would go bankrupt.

977
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: Some people would be unfazed, and they would just battle

978
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: back and keep keep kicking ass and keep making money.

979
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: And there were some people that, like if I say,

980
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: like a family dinner, these names, they just resonated, like

981
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: still hold on to like what you did in nineteen

982
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 1: eighty eight. It's like it's twenty twenty five and they're

983
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: still talking about this, and I think I'm not saying

984
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: to us that way. But my point is this, we

985
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: all get to a point in life where you might

986
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: be with someone that that person is better than you.

987
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee that they're still going to be better

988
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: than you in five or ten or twenty years. Right,

989
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: all of our professions are a little bit different. But

990
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: like Jalen didn't let that moment when two was better

991
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: than him define him. Now part of that team specifically,

992
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: Alabama had the best roster in the league, right in

993
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: the country. They had dominant offensive lines and elite wide receivers,

994
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: so Tua was a way better passer those couple of years.

995
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: It was a no brainer for Nick Saban to transition

996
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: to Tua. But some guys get better. Listen, I didn't

997
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: think Jalen. I thought how he was insane for taking

998
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: him in the second round. I would have taken him

999
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: on like the fourth or fifth round and moved him

1000
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,240
Speaker 1: to running back. I would have been wrong. Guys improve,

1001
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: and why a lot of people miss on players in

1002
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: the pros because they go, this guy's not good enough.

1003
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah he's not good enough right now, but what can

1004
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: he be in three or four years? And if you

1005
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: get to the right place, you get with the right coach,

1006
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: you just naturally improve. All of a sudden, you're a

1007
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: nine year starter. It's like, God, I didn't realize this

1008
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: guy was gonna be that good. Part of the business

1009
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: if there wasn't NFL draft of current coach quarterback combo

1010
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: packages taking into account only for two years, twenty five

1011
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: and twenty six to try to go on a run,

1012
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: given that all the teams have equal rosters, which tandem

1013
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: would be the first ten off the draft board. The

1014
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: purpose of this exercise that my buddies and I had

1015
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: to take into account both value of quarterback and head

1016
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:27,479
Speaker 1: coach together and not separated. Well, I think you would

1017
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: just find guys with track records, because if everything's equal,

1018
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: it's advantage the coach, right, Like one disadvantage a quarterback

1019
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: would have is if my team is not as good, right,

1020
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: but a coach can overcome guys because I can scheme

1021
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: you open. So if everything's the same, huge advantage for

1022
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, huge advantage for Kyle and Sean McVay. Right,

1023
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: huge advantage for Jim Harbaugh. Right, it's not a big

1024
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: as big of an advantage for average coaches. Right. And that's

1025
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: where you know it's clear who would go one. But

1026
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: I think like Sean McVeigh or excuse me, Sean mcdermot's proven,

1027
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: like he's been a pretty good coach with random guys

1028
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,959
Speaker 1: with Josh, so how would they not be two? Same

1029
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: thing with John Harbaugh, Like, I think those would be one, two, three,

1030
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: those three combos, it'd be Josh Lamar Mahomes. Obviously Mahomes

1031
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: would be one. But like, do you trust Dak Taylor

1032
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: if you don't have Jamar Chase? I don't. I like Burrow,

1033
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: but I don't trust Zak Taylor. I'll tell you who'd

1034
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: go higher than you think would be like, well, everything's equal.

1035
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: I like my chances with Sean Payton, and he loves

1036
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: his quarterback. I'd say the same thing with Kyle and Purdy.

1037
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: He'd be like, well, there are big guys better than perty, Okay,

1038
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: but everything's equal. Like I've seen Dak when he doesn't

1039
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: have a stack team, like I'm out on that. I've

1040
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: seen Jared Goff when he doesn't have the best offensive

1041
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: line in the league. Out on that, you know, Jalen's

1042
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: a good sample if he knows AJ fucking Brown and

1043
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith. What would he look like if he had

1044
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: a couple of random guys and Sirianni don't like that

1045
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: as much I see. I think Dan Campbell and Goff

1046
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't go as high in this exercise. McVeigh and Stafford,

1047
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: assuming Stafford's back was good, would go high. Dan Quinn,

1048
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels probably go high too. It's a good question.

1049
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna end on that. That is, that is a

1050
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: good question. Tell you who would go near the bottom

1051
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: would be like day Ball, Russell, Wilson, Kellen Moore, whoever, Oh,

1052
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: Demico and CJ would go high. Harbaugh Herbert would go high.

1053
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,959
Speaker 1: Two of McDaniel would go low, Colts would go low.

1054
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: Titans would go low. I think the biggest swing would

1055
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: be the Lions, just because I like Dan Campbell, motivating whoever,

1056
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,439
Speaker 1: but like Jared Goff. If everything's equal, don't love can't

1057
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: move Jared Goff on a stacked team excellence. I'd say

1058
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: the same thing for Jalen, which again they I'm not

1059
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: bitching and moaning like, well, his team's his team. We

1060
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Jared Goff's teams his team. They

1061
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: win a bunch of games these last couple of years.

1062
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: But if you put one of these guys on, you

1063
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: know you put Jared Goff on. The Jags don't like

1064
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: him as much. The volume
