1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully really well? A big smile on your face because

3
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: NFL football is back. The Eagles take on the Cowboys tonight.

4
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a lot of football talk today. Some

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on that game, some thoughts on quarterbacks. Mike Vrabel

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: had some comments. Kevin O'Connell had a comment. Red Zone

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: will now have commercials. Your boy might have done a

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: little couch scouting. Youtubing watched a couple of college quarterbacks

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: their highlights from week one, big game this weekend, Oklahoma

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: and Michigan. Those two guys look good. I will do

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: a little mailbag at John Middlecoff. Fire in those dms.

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Get your questions answered here on the show. We'll try

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: to bang out a little mailbag on the back end.

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: I think my main man, pat Riley, who's lived a

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: good life in Miami, those team's not very good anymore.

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Once famously said and talked about in a book which

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: he's talking about the disease of me, which is essentially,

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: when guys have success, they start thinking about themselves way

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: more than they did previously when it was about the team,

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: the team, the team, which is ironic because the guy

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: put it in a book to make money about kind

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: of himself and his ideas. But that's another conversation. Listen,

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: pat Riley's a legend, but let's face it, the disease

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: of me is real. It is. I say this all

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: the time. It is so much easier to make changes,

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: to be driven to work hard, to do everything humanly

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: possible when things aren't going your way, or when you're

52
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: trying to climb up the mountain once you get to

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: the top. I always have a lot of admiration and

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: respect for people that are really, really rich, especially older people,

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: and still work really hard. Listen, Belichick and UNC might

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: completely be a flop at seventy three years old when

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: you have as much money and it has made as

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: much money as him, for him not to just be

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: retired at seventy three, seventy four years old with his

60
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: twenty five year old girlfriend Nantucket in the summer, Miami's

61
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: in the winters, That's what I would do. Board likely

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: that's what probably you would do. It say it's like

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: he's coaching at UNC, a school that's never really won. Listen,

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I Pete Carroll, it's like, bro, just retire, just chill.

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: You're super rich, relax, you're in your seventies. But they're drive,

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: they're aspirational. You just can't turn that clock off. And

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: I'm not respect it. But once you've won a super Bowl,

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: once you've accomplished anything in life, definitely in pro sports,

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: like I do understand, well, maybe don't work as hard.

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: You know that that gym session in June during the

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: off season when you're on vacation, maybe like, yeah, I'll

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: skip today, and then today leads into tomorrow and then

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: you look back at your summer you're like, god, I

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: worked way harder two years ago. It is understandable. Like

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: I always do get when people have had success. Listen,

76
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I think it happens in college football all the time.

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, you go to a school like Alabama, and

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: if you're a level of recruit, you assume you're gonna win.

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: It's not the way it works. The reason they won

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: is because of what Nick Saban mandated they do three

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: sixty five. It wasn't just because you showed up you're

82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: a great player and you're automatically gonna dominate. That's not

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: how the world works, right, So I do think the

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Eagles are pretty equipped moving forward, and this game tonight

85
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: is going to be, I think a microcosm of what

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see with these two teams, even though I

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: do think Dallas could be somewhat competitive throughout the year

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: because they're offense. I mean, shit, they've invested enough offensively

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: in terms of money and draft resources, but obviously defensively,

90
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna stink, probably gonna be a long, tough season. Now,

91
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: Unlike most people, they just think they're gonna suck. Like

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: we all agree the Eagles are gonna be good. The average,

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: I would say ninety percent of people think the Cowboys

94
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: are gonna suck. I'd be a little surprised if they

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: won like three or four games now seven and ten, Like,

96
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: that's a long season. It's a lot of losses, you know,

97
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: that's a lot of losses, and some of those wins

98
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: are ugly too. So I do think the Eagles, unlike

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, as I've said this before, like their biggest

100
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: advantage is Howie right, their owner, really successful guy does

101
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: not meddle in football for the most part. I mean,

102
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: every owner gives his opinions here and there. But unlike Jerry,

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: who's like, I'm always gonna be the GM, he's like, Howie,

104
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you do everything like I've said it. With the Mica trade,

105
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: I understand it, like I get it, But you don't

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: trade that guy at the end of August if you

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: are gonna ever be open to trading him. He traded

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: him before the draft, Howie Roseman if he was. Let's

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 1: use an example. If if Jeffrey Lurie said, listen, under

110
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: no circumstances are we gonna give Jalen Carter another contract,

111
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: which obviously he's not gonna say, but let's just use

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: this hypothetical. Jalen has another huge year and he is

113
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna get one hundred and seventy million dollars guaranteed in

114
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: like two years. It's like, how he trade this guy?

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: And like Micah Parsons or like Khalil Mack, he's a

116
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: guy that every team and especially the good teams are

117
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna be very very interested in. I'll promise you this

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: that trade happens before the draft because when you trade

119
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: for draft picks in the future, they're not worth as

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: much as ones in the presence, so called time value money.

121
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: And I think the Eagles one thing I'll never forget spending.

122
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I've worked for him for three years, but

123
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: I was in the office for two and my office

124
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: was you know, first office was probably fifteen feet away.

125
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: My second office was actually closer. They were all in

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: the vicinity. I mean, it's it's crazy, it's become a

127
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: little different. But for a long time, NFL teams like

128
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: a mom and pop shop. You know, the coaches, the scouts,

129
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: they are all kind of together. You spend every waking

130
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: moment together, and I'll never forget. It's why I think

131
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: once I left football, I never went back. Is I realized,

132
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: like I didn't love football, And clearly I like it

133
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, I've dedicated my life to working

134
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: at it and talking about it, and this is my profession,

135
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: but not nearly enough. Because I saw Andy Roseman and

136
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, or I saw Andy Reid and Howie Roseman,

137
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: and Andy's the first bout Hall of Famer. Sure, how

138
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: He's going to won two Super Bowls and two different coaches.

139
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: I signed multiple court with two different quarterbacks, like that's

140
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of fame. Resume their drive, their love of football,

141
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: their passion for it was unrelenting. And obviously Howie is

142
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: smarter than a lot of gms, but his talent, but really,

143
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: like Andy's work ethic, I'll never It'll be seared in

144
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: my memory for life. And I remember being at the

145
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: combine a couple of years ago, I think, after they

146
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: won their second Super Bowl and talking to one of

147
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: my buddies on the coaching staff and he's like, you know,

148
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is I notice no difference in Andy

149
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: than I did in two thousand and nine. When I

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: drive by the office in April on my way to

151
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: home depot on a Saturday morning, his truck will be outside,

152
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: and his work ethic, his focus and overall it comes

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: from your passion and love of the sport is as

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: big and as strong as humanly possible. He's a football addict.

155
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: And I would say the same thing for Howie and

156
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, just like a lot of human beings,

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: once they have success, it's human. It happens to a

158
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: lot of players, it happens a lot business people that

159
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: their drive slows down, And I don't think that will

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: be a factor at all with Howie because he's got

161
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: this neurotic, just kind of chip on his shoulder that

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: doesn't get phased with. Like he's been a millionaire for

163
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: a long time, he won a Super Bowl in twenty seventeen,

164
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: and his work ethic is the way his mind operates.

165
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: I think will be completely unphased moving forward. And you

166
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: saw this training camp. The dude literally made three trades

167
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: on a day. I mean, that's type stuff you do

168
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: when you're trying to claw your way to the playoffs.

169
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: He's the defending champs, where we all agree he's got

170
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: one of, if not the best roster in the league,

171
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: and it's like we can improve here, we can do this,

172
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: we can make this move. That's just the way he's

173
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: wired and that's not gonna change whether he's thirty years

174
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: old or when he's seventy years old. He will always

175
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: be like that. So the Eagles greatest asset non player

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: is clearly their GM, who is one of I mean truly,

177
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: I mean, based on his resume, Gonna Go Down is

178
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: one of the greats of all time. That's just a

179
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: And the other thing is listen, when they're asking Nick

180
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: Sirianni about the banner ceremony. It's a really big deal

181
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: for an NFL team or a college team to win

182
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: a championship, especially when you're at a place like Philadelphia,

183
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Alabama, Florida, Georgia.

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: It means a lot. So for the Eagles to listen,

185
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: it's a celebration of what happened. It's going to be

186
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: in a sports sense, like a religious experience for these people.

187
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: Always say, in my experience, my biggest takeaway from Philly

188
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: was one, love the people, love the food. But what

189
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: I appreciated about it most is I got to work

190
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: in football and that was as important as anything in

191
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: that city, that football team, the Philadelphia Eagles. And I

192
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: understand Nick the disease of me, you're trying to move

193
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: on last year the championship doesn't help his team, But

194
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: like it's a little cheesy for me, not really my style.

195
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: But the one thing I'll give Siriani is a couple

196
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: of years ago when they made the Super Bowl and

197
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: he was doing that stuff of pumping his chest, beating

198
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and you know, not in the Super Bowl,

199
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: but literally remember when they played him with the Chiefs

200
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football, he got a little humble pie

201
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: because they started that season red hot, like ten and

202
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: one or eleven to one. They lost a bunch of games.

203
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: They got their ass kick in the playoffs. He almost

204
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: got fired. Like I think it was probably a coin

205
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: flip from him being axed for William Belichick. That probably

206
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been the right move. But I don't care

207
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: who you are when you are that close to your

208
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: professional ending at a place, especially from a coach, and

209
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: you know it like this isn't it's not like the

210
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: elephant in the room anymore. But like, he's not dumb

211
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: that I think you saw last year. Obviously they revamped

212
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: the staff, he had to fire people. I think one

213
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: of the guys he fired on that staff two years ago,

214
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: if not the best man in his wedding, was definitely

215
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: in his wedding. So it's like, bro, this is not

216
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: going to be tolerated here. You know why, because we

217
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: don't tolerate that this Listen, I do respect. I think

218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: Alabama fans are gonna take a lot of shit, Like

219
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: they're really mad this they've been so spoiled. Well, yeah,

220
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: that's what they're used to. For seventeen years, they were

221
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: kicking the shit out of everybody. We're all human beings.

222
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: You know, you can't win the national championship every year.

223
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: They didn't win Nick Saban, But they don't expect to

224
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: go five and five over a ten game stretch, Like

225
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that's understandable. Like the Eagles don't expect to look like crap.

226
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: So that year two years ago, like it's just not

227
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna be tolerated there, not by the owner and not

228
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: by the general manager. And I think Sirianni learned a

229
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: valuable lesson. You better just kind of swallow your pride

230
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: a little bit and change your antics and be careful

231
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: because this game will humble you really quick. And I

232
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: do think he got a big, big slice of humble

233
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: pie and was better for it. And obviously the organization

234
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Lurie, they're willing to do whatever it takes

235
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: to buy coaches, Like you look at Jerry Jones, it's

236
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: like you're going with Brian Schottenheimer and Matt Eberflus. Meanwhile,

237
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles have one down year where they still made

238
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're like Vic fangiol here's a three year,

239
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars. We want the best defensive coordinator on

240
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: our staff. Jerry's probably paying Brian Schottenheimer Vic Fangio money

241
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: and Vic Fanniel's their coordinator. So I think the Eagles

242
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: are equipped moving forward at least for the next couple

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: of years. Again, as you have more success, more guys

244
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: need to be paid. They do a really good job

245
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: with the cap and pushing the cap down the road.

246
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: Obviously their quarterback is completely unfazed by success. To me,

247
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: he reminds me a lot of like an Andy Reider.

248
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Belichick in terms of his wiring doesn't smile that much

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: in the sense of like not doing huge celebrations onto

250
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: the next thing. Absolute grinder. So I would expect the

251
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: Eagles to be really really good this year. And when

252
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: you look at the Cowboys and moving forward in general,

253
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: as long as how he's the GM and they have

254
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: that infrastructure in place, I do think when you look

255
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys, you know we talk shit, would be strong.

256
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: But like Kirk Cousins getting made fun of a lot, like, oh,

257
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: he's this great businessman. He made three hundred million dollars

258
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: and what was he have to show for it? Now,

259
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: in fairness to Kirk Cousins, he never considered him like

260
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: some top quarterback, but he was kind of hovered between

261
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: eight to twelve. That's a guy. If you do a

262
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: good enough job building the team should be able to

263
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: compete for a Super Bowl. Right. We have seen Jared

264
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: Goff lead a team to a Super Bowl, lead a

265
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: team to the NFC Championship. And I think there have

266
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: been periods like is Dak Kirk Cousins similar mold, similar

267
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: type player, like never gonna be an elite guy, but

268
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: when he's on pretty damn good, And I wonder if

269
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Dak's career is gonna end and we're gonna speak about

270
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: him like an NBA player, It's like, oh, yeah, I

271
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: remember Dak, guy that made five hundred and seventy five

272
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: million dollars playing football and never did anything in the playoffs.

273
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: Actually was terrible in the playoffs, but then when it

274
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: came to getting paid, always needed the most money possible,

275
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: which hindered his team to build around him. And he's

276
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: a player that needs help building around him. And just like, hey,

277
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: super rich guy, awesome, but nothing to show of any

278
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: validity and something that you can hang your hat on.

279
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: From a legacy standpoint, when it matters the most, if anything,

280
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: he'll be known, like, let's face it, he's closer to

281
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: James Harden than anyone wants to make it out some

282
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: great regular seasons, a lot of Pro Bowls, and a

283
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: lot of bad playoff performances. So I think the Cowboys

284
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: this game in general. I think it's easy for everyone

285
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: to act like they're gonna lose by one hundred points,

286
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: and they might. I just know from a gambling standpoint,

287
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: you got to be very careful with these divisional matchups.

288
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: Wouldn't shock me at all if this game gets weird.

289
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Same thing Friday night. Listen, it's Week one. Every team

290
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: has hope and beliefs. Now, maybe the Micah Parsons thing

291
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: deflated some people by some reports, like some of the

292
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: players were glad he's gone, But from a football standpoint,

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: it's clearly a big loss. I do just believe you

294
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: got to be very careful about overreacting to one game.

295
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Now over the aggregate of the season, it could be long,

296
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: and it could be pretty ugly, but this is what

297
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: you sign up for when you give a guy sixty

298
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: million dollars who probably most of the time is somewhere

299
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: between the ninth to thirteenth best quarterback, Like he's going

300
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: to take up a lot of cap room. He needs help,

301
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, Bucky Brooks says, tractors and trailers. He needs

302
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: to be pulled. He needs a good running game, he

303
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: needs a good defense, he needs a good offensive line.

304
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: And I think there are a lot of question marks

305
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: with the defense with the Cowboys, with their offensive line

306
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys, because they got a lot of young players,

307
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry their running back room is pretty shitty

308
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: on paper now just because you're bad on paper. That's

309
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: why you play the games. How they look between the

310
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: white lines. You never know. That's a position to where

311
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: random guys get created. But I would have said that

312
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: last year, and then nothing got created. The terrible running

313
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: the ball, and a lot of that was in Collins

314
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: talked about this. They couldn't side Dereck Henry tight million dollars,

315
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: didn't have any They had all the cap space going

316
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: to Dak going to Ceedee Lamb, you know, going to Lawrence,

317
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: going to Diggs. I mean, they're paying all these guys

318
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: and you got to be very careful. And Jerry said

319
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: this before and I'll never forget it, because I try

320
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: to use this thinking about whenever I'm making a purchase,

321
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: like if you're buying a house, if you're gonna just

322
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: purchase whatever, that is some what on the larger scale

323
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: for whatever you're you know, relative to how much money

324
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: you have is I've never made a mistake paying a

325
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: premium for a premium. Well, it's like he's basically talking

326
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: about paying guys like Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes,

327
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Yeah, you can't. You can't overpay those guys.

328
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: It's impossible. It's impossible to overpay Steph Curry. It's impossible

329
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: to overpay Aaron Judge, right, it's impossible to overpay show

330
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani. What they bring to the table, they're just

331
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: so much better than everybody else. But if you overpay

332
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, it's going to be a problem. And it

333
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: legitimately has. And again I've always defended Dak. I've said, listen,

334
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he plays really good in November December,

335
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: and then he gets in these playoff games and he shrinks.

336
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: I do think he has it in him to play

337
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: a good playoff game against another worthy opponent. I mean

338
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: His best playoff game is obviously that Tampa team that

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: was folding like a cheap tent. But at this point

340
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: in time, their team's not gonna be good for the

341
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. And even if they are able to reset

342
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: it with this trade, which is possible if you make

343
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: the right picks. Like the reason the Khalil Mack trade,

344
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: you could say it was a lose lose. I would

345
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: say it was kind of a win for the for

346
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: the Bears, they made the playoffs a couple times. They

347
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: got this elite player who was an All Pro and

348
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: a Pro bowler as a team captain. The Raiders got

349
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: all these draft picks and they started whiffing on all

350
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: the picks, So you got to make the picks look

351
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: great on paper, but they got them to turn into players,

352
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, So like trading AJ Brown for the seventeenth pick,

353
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: we laugh at that because they took Treillon Burks. Well,

354
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: if they had taken you know, the equivalent of Justin

355
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: Jefferson or DK Metcalf or just AJ Brown two point zero,

356
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: we wouldn't make fun of them as much. They took

357
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: a guy that most people think stinks, who actually I

358
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: kind of like coming out in the draft, but clearly

359
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: he's not a very good player, and I was injured

360
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: and it feels like his career is just derailed. So

361
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: who you take with those pick is ultimately how we

362
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: you know, we judge the trade. So I don't know

363
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: how you bet against the Eagles tonight. I would just

364
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: be leery of huge, huge lines when it comes to

365
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: divisional opponents. We'll see. I mean, I'm very fascinated to

366
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: watch how the Eagles come out tonight. It should be fun.

367
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: It's Football's back, Sirianni, Brian Schottenneimer, Jerry, Let's enjoy it.

391
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, I read a good article on the Athletic.

392
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, they say journalism is dying, but that there

393
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: are some good good articles there football wise and college

394
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: football wise. That and the premise of this article was

395
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, who made comments a while back to Rich

396
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: Eisen that organizations failed quarterbacks more than quarterbacks fail organizations.

397
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: And I think Zach Kiefer was the writer. He talked

398
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: to Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning, Alex Smith, Matt Hasselback, all

399
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks that have been in all sorts of these situations,

400
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: and from Troy Aikman to Peyton Manning their early struggles

401
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: to turning into Hall of Fame careers to Matt Hasselback

402
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: starting as a backup. Matt Hasselback said in this article

403
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: that I was the youngest at the time backup. That

404
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: I was the first guy younger than Brett Favre, and

405
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: that was his eighth season in the NFL, my first

406
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: year in the league, and I was his backup, and

407
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I was the first guy throughout those eight years that

408
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: was younger than him. And that was not by accident.

409
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget talking to each and the Chiefs

410
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: guys when they got rid of Alex, traded Alex to

411
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders with the Redskins at the time, that

412
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: one thing that they were going to do with their

413
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: backup quarterback was sign a married guy. And it turned

414
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: out to be Chad Henny like that. They were not

415
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: going to sign some They weren't going to sign Tyson

416
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: Badget or mac Jones. They were going to sign an

417
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: older player who was married and listen, I'm a big

418
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: believer in that right. The Colts did that last year

419
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: when they brought in Joel Flacco for to mentor and

420
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: be around Anthony Richardson. Peyton Manning had some great comments.

421
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: He said, I never would have been allowed to throw

422
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: twenty eight touchdowns if I was playing for Bill Parcells.

423
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 1: It's because you would have been benched. He's like, no,

424
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: he would have killed me first. And I do think

425
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: some of those guys. When you look at Troy Aikman,

426
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: and if you watch the documentary Hell By his third year,

427
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: he got kind of injured and kind of got benched

428
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch of the season. Peyton Manning struggled his

429
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: first couple of years. Obviously, we've seen some quarterbacks over

430
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: the course of their career Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Alex

431
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: Smith hit Bumpy Rhoades early on in their career. I

432
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: think one separator, and I think this is true for

433
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: life too, is mental toughness and the only way, and

434
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells was quoted in this He said, I wouldn't

435
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: evaluate a quarterback coming out of college after they throw

436
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: three or four touchdowns. I would try to dial into

437
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: them and lock into them. What do they look like

438
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: after they throw three picks and they lose? And that's

439
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: easier said than done. But I do agree you learn

440
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: way more about a person through adversity than you do

441
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: through success. Because when you're having success in whatever you do,

442
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: especially football, most human beings are riding high and don't

443
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: want to change anything and don't need to because it's working.

444
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: When your back's against the wall and you are pressed,

445
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: you got a couple options either kind of fold or

446
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: you mentally power through. It's why I think a lot

447
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: of success people, and you're using Peyton Manning and Troy's

448
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: Aikman as examples, I'd argue that either one of those

449
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: guys would have been so successful in any industry. Like

450
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: when I watched Troy Aikman talk or Peyton Manning talk,

451
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: like those guys could have like ran a bank, those

452
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: guys could have created a company from nothing. Peyton Manning

453
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: literally did so Troy Aikman. I mean, these guys are

454
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: outlier human beings. I guess the point of this is

455
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: for me to say I do think there's some truth

456
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: some teams fail guys, But I also think quarterbacks often fail.

457
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: Teams slash their skill set. Isn't that relatable to what

458
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: you have to do in the NFL. If Caleb fails,

459
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: it might not be because his physical talents. He clearly

460
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: has those, but he has an attribute that he holds

461
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: onto the ball too long, so to a lot of quarterbacks,

462
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: and it doesn't usually work in the NFL because you

463
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: have to get rid of the football because even the

464
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: best offensive linemans Lane Johnson, Zach Martin, Trent Williams can

465
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: only hold a defensive lineman for so long until they're

466
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna get some pressure. You have to get rid of

467
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: the ball, and sometimes that means throw the fucking ball away.

468
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: And Anthony Riginson's a good example. I would argue he

469
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: probably fails no matter where he goes, just like Trey

470
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: Aikman and Peyton Manning probably figure it out wherever they go.

471
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: Did Peyton? Did Patrick Mahomes benefit from playing for Andy Reid?

472
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Of course he did? Did he benefit for a year

473
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: sitting behind Alex Smith? Do I think Patrick figures it

474
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: out if you put him on the Cleveland Browns, if

475
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 1: you put him on the Miami Dolphins, I do. Do

476
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: I think he wins four Super Bowls? Maybe not, But

477
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: do I think he's clearly one of the best players

478
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I do think he does, because I

479
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: think there's a wiring and just a focus to certain individuals. Now,

480
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: certain people like the Lamar Jackson we see now is

481
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: dramatically better than the guy that won the MVP in

482
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. So did he benefit from an organization that

483
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: could pivot their offense around him and let him grow?

484
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: Of course he did. But if you watch him, like,

485
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: what would his floor have been? Like what Kyler Murray's doing,

486
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: And I'd argue it's probably higher than that. And Kyler's

487
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: been in a chaotic situation. So I'm always been a

488
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: believer that the cream rises at the top. Obviously, if

489
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: you don't have the work ethic, if you don't have

490
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: the mental capability, football is hard. If football is confusing,

491
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot thrown at you. You can be overwhelmed.

492
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: But I think for the most part, guys that fail

493
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: would have failed with most people. There's the occasional player

494
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: that would you know, that needs different spots, that has

495
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: to mesh with the right coach. Isn't that kind of life.

496
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: There's a reason if you date ten girls and you

497
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: marry the eleventh, it's like, well, maybe you could have

498
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 1: married three or four of those girls, potentially seven of them.

499
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: You're just like, yeah, sleepular, but I want no part

500
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: of this. We all mesh different with human beings. So

501
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: I just think that like Deshaun Watson, his style once

502
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: he got into doesn't translate to anyone's offense. It doesn't

503
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: work at all. Just freelancing, running around and making plays

504
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: when you've become an average athlete in your arm's not

505
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: great anymore, that's not gonna work. Caleb, even if he

506
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: was just a run around and throw the ball guy,

507
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: his armstrow strong. There is value there, right, But when

508
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: I watch Anthony Rigson, he's not accurate. He clearly was overwhelmed.

509
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: And Chris Ballard's quote in this article that he was swimming,

510
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: but to me, the tapping out of the game. He

511
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: doesn't even know what. He doesn't even know. But there's

512
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: a chance that his physical skills. For every Josh Allen

513
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: that improves his accuracy. I think Warren Moon was a

514
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: guy back in the day that improved his accuracy. Most

515
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: guys don't like. That's not usually a tangible asset that

516
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: can grow. It's like, you know, he was extremely inaccurate.

517
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: By the end of the career, he was one of

518
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: the most accurate guys in the NFL. It's not the

519
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: way it usually works. So I do get what Kevin

520
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: O'Connell is saying. And clearly JJ McCarthy is better off

521
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: going to Kevin O'Connell than he would be going to

522
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: some random coach in a shitty environment. I'm not disputing that.

523
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: But like, if JJ McCarthy fails, probably would have failed anywhere.

524
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: And if JJ McCarthy becomes one of the best quarterbacks

525
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, even if he wouldn't have reached his

526
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: ceiling somewhere else, he probably would have become a good player.

527
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: I do believe that. Another thing I said this yesterday,

528
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: the sweating right now so hot in here. I turned

529
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: on the ac too. The North Carolina tar Heels banned

530
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: Patriots scouts from coming through, which is unheard of, And

531
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday like nothing's more unbecoming than just

532
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: old bitter guy, Like he's just like, bro, why are

533
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: you so angry? Especially when like life's been pretty good

534
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: to you? But you can't fake your personality. And Belichick's personality,

535
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit, has never changed, like he's this

536
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: isn't an act. He's not mister Smiley. But to me,

537
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: to ban the Patriots, like, bro, get over it, you

538
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: got fired. That happens in the NFL. Mike Vrabel was

539
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: at about Belichick start it, basically threw a jab, saying that,

540
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: well Erbin Myers first year to Ohio State, he went

541
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: twelve and zero. That's my experience because Mike Vrabel was

542
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: around then, and I think a lot of people are like, oh,

543
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: I thought they were boys, that they were close. People

544
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: ask me all the time, like from how as a fan,

545
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: how I've changed? Who do I root for? The number

546
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: one thing I would root for over anything, if my

547
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: fandom was still as strong as it was when I

548
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: was a little kid would be this podcast would be

549
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: stories would be things to get the most people listening

550
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: would be how do I get Josh Allen or Patrick

551
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Sean McVay to come. I would do anything

552
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: to improve this and make this bigger over absolutely anything

553
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: that happens on the field. That is my number one

554
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: prerogative when it comes to the sport of football is

555
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: this podcast. And when you're a head coach, the only

556
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: thing you care about is your team in the organization. So, yeah,

557
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: you played for this guy back in the day and

558
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: he inevitably traded you. But you're not gonna let my

559
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: scouts come your organization because you're mad at my owner

560
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: that he fired you two years ago from going four

561
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: and twelve. Guess what, Bill, I got fired as well.

562
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: It happens. It's football. So I think this Belichick thing,

563
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: I do think it's insane that the schedule makers made

564
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick play on Monday night and then play a

565
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: road game the following Saturday against Charlotte, which I don't

566
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: know that much about. I don't think they're that good

567
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: at football. But the initial betting line was twenty four points,

568
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: so three touchdowns in a field goal. It has already

569
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: been bet down to under two touchdowns. I just think

570
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: that a lot of people, and Bill's I think acknowledging

571
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: the NFL's never happen to me. Back double middle fingers.

572
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: I hate you guys too, and I'm gonna be your enemy,

573
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: which Coward once famously said that holding a grudge is

574
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: like chain smoking hate. And I've never forgot that because

575
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: when I was younger and listen, I got fired in

576
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: the NFL, I could have easily held grudges and just

577
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: hated everybody. And I was like, what's the point of this?

578
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Like I can text how he called me up said

579
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: we're not renewing your contract. I mean, he's one of

580
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: the gms in my phone. It's probably a relationship I

581
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: want to keep. I could have held a grudge to

582
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: this date. What's the point of that, just to be

583
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: mad about something that happened in the past. Like move on,

584
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: stop looking in the rear view mirror. Isn't that what

585
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: Belichick's telling his players, like, let's move forward. We got

586
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: to get better. Yet he's holding this grudge in the

587
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: past against this eighty five year old owner. It's not

588
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: the scouts didn't do this, you know, Elliott Wolf didn't

589
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: do this. Mike Vrabel had nothing to do this. But

590
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: you're you're taking it out against them. So I think

591
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel saying that was because of what's going on

592
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: behind the scenes with the scouting community. It's it's an embarrassment.

593
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: And I've been pro Belichick, I've defended him, but I'm

594
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: starting to think like, with his mindset, with the way

595
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: people are, the tiktokification of the youth, he might be fucked.

596
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: Red zone, which I've never actually watched that much. Occasionally,

597
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, I'll have it on one

598
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: of the four boxes. But I've always been like I

599
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: watched the games, not against the red zone. I understand

600
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: its popularity, and it's definitely good for the NFL. It's like,

601
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't play fantasy football, but I understand its impact

602
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: on society, gravitating towards the sport of football. It's a

603
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: good thing. The more people that play fantasy football, the

604
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: more people that watch the games, the more people that

605
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: listen to shows like me. So I am pro fantasy football.

606
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: Even besides some daily fantasy. Over the years, I haven't

607
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: really dabbled. I've never been in a league, not against

608
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: It's just not my thing. I do understand, I would say,

609
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: somewhat of the way the media landscape works. I've been

610
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: in radio and now podcasting for a long time, and

611
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: the goal of like this isn't a passion project. This

612
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: is a business, a for profit business where we got

613
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: to make money. That's the whole reason we're doing any

614
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: of this. I tell people all the time. They're like,

615
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: how cool was it you get to work in sports.

616
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't listen. I take I don't take

617
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: it for granted, but like I also look at it

618
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: like you would a job you have to or else

619
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: you're doing yourself somewhat of a disservice, right, The mortgage

620
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: is coming no matter what. And if it's like just

621
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: my passion project, good luck to you, because that thing

622
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't get paid. So last year to someone told me this,

623
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: we were having our weekly meeting for three and out

624
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: and I guess they dabbled last year. I kind of

625
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of vaguely remember this with commercials on the Red

626
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: Zone and people freaked. And then when this ESPN NFL

627
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: merger acquisition, however you want to quantify it happened. The

628
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: writing was on the wall. A company like ESPN, like Fox,

629
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: like CBS, whoever would not acquire something like the Red

630
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Zone and have it commercial free for seven hours, especially

631
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: even if there are less people than I think the

632
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: casual fan would assume are actually watching it. Like the

633
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: numbers of actual games are much higher than the red Zone,

634
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: but still, if you're getting a million or two million

635
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: people to watch the red zone, that it can be

636
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: a very profitable endeavor. So it was announced the day

637
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: I think Scott Hansen told Pat McAfee there will be

638
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: commercial breaks. This is no longer seven hours of commercial

639
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: free football. Those days are done. Once ESPN purchased them.

640
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: You think they were just gonna run seven hours commercial free.

641
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: You think Disney and they're boarded directors. Yeah, we just

642
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: had this product that you know, on a given day,

643
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: if it's good, two million people could watch, and we're

644
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: just not going to advertise. That wouldn't be tolerated. That's

645
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: literally not allowed. You're not allowed to operate like that

646
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: as a public company. So I think I understand the

647
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: freak out if you're a loyal guy and it does suck.

648
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not acting like it doesn't suck. But I say

649
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: this all the time about streaming what everyone's like, it's

650
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: so unfair. Look at what the NFL fan has. They

651
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: got to subscribe to Peacock, Like, do I want to

652
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: subscribe to Peacock? Not really? But am I bitching? NBC

653
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: is not going to exist in five, ten, twenty years.

654
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: It won't be around the only way for them to

655
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: keep going is for the streaming service to operate. If

656
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't, the network will go under. I will promise

657
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: you that. No different than all these companies. Now. I

658
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: don't subscribe to every single one of them, though it

659
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: definitely feels like that. I do understand that, like traditional

660
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: television is not going to be around in the relatively

661
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: new near future. We just had a meeting today and

662
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: after that beating ended, it was a video meeting on zoom,

663
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: I got an email sent to me with a complete

664
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: hour long breakdown of everything we hit in AI. It

665
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: literally broke down everything. Hey, this is what we're doing

666
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, these ads and just like every single

667
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: topic we hit for big picture stuff, for college football stuff,

668
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: it was like, this is a I honestly, I didn't

669
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: even know what was going on. I just thought I

670
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: was like, are we being recorded? I didn't even say anything,

671
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: and I saw it get I was like, damn, that

672
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: is fucking remarkable. So times have changed and you have

673
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: to change or you won't survive. It's no different. Like

674
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: we do more stuff on YouTube and this will be

675
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: for the near future, but who knows. If something else happens.

676
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: Instagram goes away, Twitter goes away. You just pivot and

677
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: that's that's the way. And now you pivot faster than

678
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: ever before because of the changing landscape. So I don't

679
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: have any issue with anyone being mad about the commercials.

680
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: But what do you expect. That's not the way the

681
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,479
Speaker 1: world works. Last, but not least, I did a little

682
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: YouTube scouting today because I basically just sent out Saturday

683
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: and I was gonna watch the three big games. I

684
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: was gonna watch, obviously the morning game arch at Ohio State.

685
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: I was going to watch Florida State Alabama, and then

686
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: watch the LSU cleansing game. I didn't really watch, Like,

687
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: I didn't watch Utah. I love Utah. We're gonna bet

688
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: on Utah, but I didn't. I don't have time to

689
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: watch that game. I just didn't have four boxes going.

690
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: I just wanted to dial in on those games. Well,

691
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: I went back and watched Bryce Underwood and the best

692
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: part about YouTube is you can just type in a

693
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: guy's throws, give me Bryce underwoods highlights, give me John

694
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Matteer's highlights. The biggest game this week by far is

695
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: Michigan going to Oklahoma. Here's the thing with Arch. We

696
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: all watched the Arch game and we went, I don't

697
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: really see the arm you flip on Oklahoma and John

698
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Matteirs slinging that pill. You turn on Bryce Underwood slinging

699
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 1: that pill. You go, those are arms. That's what NFL

700
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: scouts look for. Now. Just because you have a strong

701
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: arm does not mean you're a good NFL quarterback. And

702
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: John Mattier had some balls fly around a little bit,

703
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: but his talent jumped off the screen. And Underwood's a

704
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,959
Speaker 1: true freshman, so you know he's I'm sure he's gonna

705
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: have some bumps in the road, but his talent ooz

706
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: is off the screen. You can't miss it. You cannot

707
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: miss it. So I was in the car the other

708
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: day and I heard Brady Quinn was around radio channels

709
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: and he was on and he said, I'm soak right

710
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: now in sweat that He's like, the craziest part of

711
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: watching college football all day Saturday is how far quarterback

712
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: plays come. He's like, when I think back to my

713
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: freshman sophomore year, He's like, I was terrible. I go

714
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: back and look, it's like god, I was awful. But

715
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: also like I played multiple sports in high school, so

716
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: when I got to college, I hadn't been working with

717
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback coach an individual trainer, like I hadn't been

718
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: doing that stuff. And all these kids now have been

719
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: going to the elite eleven's, they've done training, they do

720
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: off season seven on seven. You just watch Bryce Underwood

721
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: or John Matteer or some of these quarterback last year

722
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: Cam wore. These guys have had so many reps throwing

723
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: the ball, and even back twenty years ago, but definitely

724
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: thirty and forty years like the Troy Aikman days, a

725
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: lot of these quarterbacks didn't throw the ball that much

726
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: in college. These were running offenses, so you get these guys.

727
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: It's never been easier to evaluate. These teams are throwing

728
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: the ball NonStop. Now they're gonna have some blowout win

729
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: against nobody's. But even when like archs Mannings first ever

730
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: real start still had thirty pass tips, you know you

731
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: look it back. I bet if we went to box

732
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: scores in like the seventies and eighties, with like Barry

733
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Switzer versus Jimmy Johnson, I bet there were games where

734
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks like threw the ball a lot

735
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: sixteen times, right, and of those sixteen, probably four or

736
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: five of them were around the line of scrimmage. I mean,

737
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: you go back that watch the U Michael Irvin started

738
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: lining up in a three point stance at wide receiver.

739
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: So the game has revolutionized for the quarterback and throwing

740
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: the ball. It's why even an average fan can go like, God,

741
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: there's something there. It doesn't mean you're gonna be The

742
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: NFL is way harder in college, but the talent of

743
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: these guys just oozes off the screen. So like John

744
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: Mattier watching that guy, like that's first round talent. Now

745
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how he played. This is a

746
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: huge game against Michigan, and he's gonna have huge games

747
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: this year against Texas against I think they play Alabama again.

748
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna play real teams throughout the year. So

749
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: Illinois State ain't it. But like if that, if he

750
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: plays well in these games, you could look at a

751
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: guy going really high. And obviously Bryce Underwood probably got

752
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: one of the biggest pay packages in the history of

753
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: college football. Now, granted we're early on in this kind

754
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: of nil world, but I get it, like I saw

755
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: it like, yeah, understandable, k Bao back time at John Middlecoff,

756
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff, firing those dms. Get your questions answered

757
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: here on the show that's on Instagram. Dms wide open,

00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: fire in him. We'll start with Dave, call me Judas.

759
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: But can I push back on the Broncos hype train

760
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: just a little? Obviously as a fan, I'm more excited

761
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: about this season than any since the Manning era, But

762
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: come on, Herd hierarchy have them four and at least

763
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: one contingent of every talk show has them win the division.

764
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm more confident against the Chiefs, Chargers and Raiders, But

765
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: come playoff time, do we really think they're going to

766
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: go into high Mark or M and T and win

767
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: or going to Philly week five and winning. Maybe I'm wrong,

768
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: but the hype scares the shit out of me. When

769
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: I was on the show and he did the Herd

770
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: hierarchy and had them above the Chiefs, I had to

771
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: say this, you can't have them above the Chiefs. I

772
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: do think there was value there like a month ago,

773
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if the value is still there. And

774
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: then winning division. I've come around like if you're going

775
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: to bet how to bet against the Chiefs to win

776
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: this division. But I do think the Broncos can be

777
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: pretty good that they would need bo Nicks to become

778
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 1: a top ten player. Like, what if he's just better

779
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: than Dak Prescott. What if he just becomes clearly better

780
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: than a bunch of guys that used to kind of

781
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins, like that level guy. If he becomes

782
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: better than we know their defense is good, we know

783
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: their offense will be good with Sean, So I do

784
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: think it's on the table. Second, have you heard anything

785
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: around the league about Davis Webb as our quarterback coach?

786
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Bookmark this he will be in OC in the next

787
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: two years. No, I just remember when they hired him

788
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: basically fresh off playing to be their quarterback coach. Listen,

789
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: most quarterback coaches, I bet if you looked around the league,

790
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, I remember when I was in Philly, it

791
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: was Doug Peterson who then becomes an OC head coach.

792
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell quarterback coach, OC head coach. You know, it's

793
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of a path if the backup quarterback gets into coaching,

794
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: they kind of go like this, you know, So I

795
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: think Davis Webb would fall under that for sure. I'm

796
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: not sure if you've seen the article about the Clippers

797
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: and Balmer paying twenty eight million for a job he

798
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: didn't even have to show up, was blatantly done to

799
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: circumvent the salary cap. But my question is this, do

800
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: you think things like this happen in the NFL? I

801
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: know you'd have to be elite to get this kind

802
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: of treatment, but do we really think Brady was the

803
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: only guy making below market value with no other kickbacks

804
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: all those years in New England and then in Tampa. Also,

805
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: is there a dirtier league than the NBA between refs

806
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 1: being paid off draft lottery, malfeasan's cap circumvention, and clear corruption.

807
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking this today when I saw you know,

808
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: the NBA got really political for a while and it

809
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: obviously backfired in their face. They need to lean into

810
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: what they've always been one just hooping, two like care

811
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: about money over everything, and three like banging chicks, a

812
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: lot of them married or not. Like that is what

813
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: the players have been notorious for. I mean, I saw

814
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: this PJ. Washington video go viral. I was thinking about that.

815
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you, It's like lean into who you are,

816
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: which is actually we can embrace. You got a little

817
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,959
Speaker 1: mob feel to it, you got a little porn feel

818
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: to it. You got the most incredible athletes on the

819
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: planet in your league, but they always try to pretend

820
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: they're not something that they are. So I'm with you, Kawhi.

821
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: Leonard is an awful business partner. I mean, is there

822
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: a worst guy to be in business with than Steve Balmer?

823
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: In the business relationship that he's paid them hundreds of

824
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: millions of dollars if they get in trouble for doing this.

825
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: I didn't read the article, but I watched like the

826
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: five minutes someone forwarded me. Maybe it was on Twitter,

827
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: like Pablo tore I mean, clearly people at the company

828
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 1: that probably got fired gave him a bunch of information. Now,

829
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: I bet Kawhi, like the NBA doesn't have legal standing

830
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: to go to get information. They're not the cops. So

831
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: if you didn't do anything wrong, right, you can pay

832
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: someone and not show up. Now you can't do that

833
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But like, what recourse are they going

834
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: to have to really figure this out? And KAUI could

835
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: just be like, like games, I just didn't want to

836
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: do it. You know, it could be that simple. Now,

837
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: clearly it looks pretty shady. But I'm totally with you.

838
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: The NBA always like they try to have this perception

839
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: different than reality. I mean, I hear some stories. I

840
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: got a couple buddies that you know are deep in

841
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: the league, either as assistant coaches or like close to

842
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: a certain player. And you hear some of these stories

843
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: with some of these players that are in theory happily

844
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: married and some of the stuff going on the side,

845
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: You're like, holy shit. I mean, if this ever got out,

846
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: this would be an enormous TMZ story. And that's then

847
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Lebron James there in fairness, but I'm

848
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: with you. I just shady league. I mean, it's always

849
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: been what but again, one individual has so much more

850
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: of an impact the shady stuff going behind the scenes.

851
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: Like if you think Balmer is the only one doing this,

852
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: you would be in You'd be crazy. I really think

853
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: you would be naive to believe that this. Ain't remember

854
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: when Jaylen Brunson took that pay cut a couple of

855
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: years ago. Can we look into the Knicks think he's

856
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: got a little piece of the sphere or something. I

857
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't blame him, I do the same thing. Like, I'm

858
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: not anti any of this. I have no problem with

859
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer paying Kawhi. On the side, my take would be,

860
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: do you regret going into business Kawhi Leonard? Is there

861
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: any less dependable of a quote unquote talent than this individual?

862
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: It's at least with you know, if you watch some

863
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: of these documentaries on like famous musicians, it's like, God,

864
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: this guy was pain in the ass, but it's like,

865
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: holy shit. He put out some hit records and he

866
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: would sell out every single stadium and we went to

867
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,479
Speaker 1: this guy was a cash cow. He delivered, quite doesn't deliver,

868
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: doesn't play half the games in the regular season, and

869
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: when the last time the Clippers did anything in the

870
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: playoffs since he's been there New Slash, they haven't. So

871
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: do I think it happens in the NFL? Probably wouldn't

872
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: shock me, and I have no problem with it now.

873
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: I understand if I was in the league from a

874
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: business partner and I was doing it the right way

875
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: and someone wasn't, it would make me mad. But where

876
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm sitting doing what I do, I got no issue with.

877
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I wish Adam

878
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: Silver would just just embrace what they actually are. I

879
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: actually think it would be better for the league. I

880
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: mean the league I grew up on. Like everyone just

881
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: openly talked about Michael Jordan drinking, boozing and playing hoops

882
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: and hanging out with chicks while he was married. How

883
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: could Micah's back be a nothing burger because of the contract,

884
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: But Stafford's back is a disaster waiting to happen. The

885
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: Rams also gave a new contract to Stafford. Seems like

886
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 1: they're either both potentially fucked or both nothing to worry about.

887
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: The difference is I think Micah was injured because he

888
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: didn't want to get fined by the Cowboys, Like it

889
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: was clear they were in a contract dispute. And you

890
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: can't just say, uh, I broke my leg because the

891
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: doctor would be like, well, you didn't break your leg.

892
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: You can't say I pulled my hamstring because the MRI

893
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: I would say, you didn't pull your hamstring back. Injuries

894
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: are very hard to figure out. Like I said, I

895
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: do not think that the Packers would have given him

896
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five million dollars, which I promise

897
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: you unless he shatters his leg he is going to

898
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: see every penny if his back was a problem. I

899
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: don't think the Rams thought Stafford's back was a problem

900
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: when they gave him the contract. But there was also

901
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: a reason, like they were like, we're going one year

902
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: max because he was old. They did not, do you

903
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: have a back injury last year? He was playing well

904
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. I think they're completely

905
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: different circumstances. If his back is a thing and they

906
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: just gave him that contract, that's insane. It's a fireable

907
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: offense if it goes bad, like if he's if he

908
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: misses a bunch of game with a back, that's insane.

909
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: I can't I can't fathom that. Maybe I'm being naive

910
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: because I can't fathom that you would give a guy

911
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: a max contract who has a back injury. Question for you,

912
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned today that you expect the Lions to regret

913
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: what regress? My question is, what makes coordinator so much

914
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: better than other coordinators is a play calling, play calling

915
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: in the right time, creativity. When I say regrets, I

916
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: just think that like as great as Ben was, it

917
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: will be impossible for Johnny Morton to be as good

918
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: as he is. I think there is a level of

919
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: I think if you just got Johnny Morton, Ben Johnson,

920
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Mike McDaniel, you can go around

921
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: the leak, Brian day Ball, whoever, every play caller in

922
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: the league on a whiteboard. They would all talk football.

923
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: If you and I were in the room, it would

924
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: sound like Chinese beck. What are these guys talking about?

925
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: It would blow your mind. I think if you've got

926
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: a lot of them on the field just coaching up

927
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: a play, they could do it. I think two things separate.

928
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: One your ability to interact and teach the players. So

929
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: understanding different players, how they're wired, get it through to

930
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 1: their head, knows what motivates this guy. So your human

931
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: interactions with your offense, teaching these guys the offense obviously,

932
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: how adaptable you are to the playbook, Like do you

933
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: just have a playbook and the players have to fit

934
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: within that, or as Alex Smith said in this article,

935
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: like Andy Reid doesn't have a playbook. I mean he

936
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: has philosophies historically, but he will change. If you do

937
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: something well, he will build plays around what you do well.

938
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: A lot of coaches go, this is my playbook. You're

939
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: listen Kyle Shanahan's like, that's his playbook, right, Sean Payton,

940
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: that's his playbook, Like it ain't changing. That's Belichick historically

941
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: for twenty years in New England was like, we don't

942
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: really have a playbook. We'll do whatever it takes a

943
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: weekly basis, will implement an institute new plays. So I

944
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: think it's some of that. And then I think there's

945
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: just like a player. Some players are instinctive players, just

946
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: like some human beings. If you put certain people in

947
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: a room that are like, hey, there's a big meeting today,

948
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: there's a cocktail party, some people are gonna come away like, oh,

949
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: I've met these three people, I got these three contacts.

950
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: I love this guy, and they're gonna be another guy

951
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: that comes away like people will like, get this guy

952
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: away from me. Because certain people have instincts dealing with

953
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: other humans, and certain people have instincts in a meeting.

954
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: Certain people have instincts. Whatever you do. I think it's

955
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: no different with a play caller. You just either have

956
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: the instincts or you don't, right, like, this is not

957
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: a good time to call this play, or there's a

958
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: good time to set up this other play. And obviously

959
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: with experience. You know, hey, setting these up in the

960
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: first quarter will benefit me in the third quarter, or

961
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 1: benefit me when I want to call the one play

962
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: that they're gonna bite on. It's gonna lead to an

963
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: explosive play or a touchdown. That's a huge part about football,

964
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: and some guys just don't have it for whatever reason.

965
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a coach, but I've just

966
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: we've seen it. Middlecoff Any Rex for your preferred streaming

967
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: service for the NFL college graduating from illegal streams. Now

968
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: that I'm post college, I appreciate that. I saw to

969
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: day a headline that one of the quote unquote big

970
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: illegal streamers got shut down. So maybe that's why you're

971
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: asking the question. I've just been on YouTube TV now

972
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: for years, so listen, I pay for everything. It's probably unhealthy.

973
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: I mean, we got more apps, yet I have less

974
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: to watch besides sports than I've ever had, so I

975
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to football and just TV. I've been

976
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: a YouTube TV guy now for years and it's incredible.

977
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: Like when I travel, you can watch YouTube TV when

978
00:50:47,520 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: you're in a hotel. I recommend YouTube TV. Big Texas

979
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: fan here, super fan of the game, Arch could possibly

980
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: be a Ryan Tannehill type player instead of Manning. Just

981
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: give it a thought. Ryan was a wide receiver and

982
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: Arch might have those type traits. Yeah, I feel like

983
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill threw the ball a little bit better than Arch.

984
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: I feel like Ryan Tannehill didn't have a great arm,

985
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: but it was my concern with Archs and he doesn't

986
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: throw the ball that well, just doesn't look great. We'll see.

987
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it was just really nervous playing a great defense.

988
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bury the kid after one start

989
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: against a top two or three team on the road,

990
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: defending national champs with unlimited foot you know NFL players,

991
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: But that to me is the biggest concern. I have

992
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: no issue with the pick. People throw picks, you know.

993
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: I have no issue with getting stoffed on a stuffed

994
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. Sneak football happens. Do you see any

995
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: similarities between Andy Reid and Spags like his time in

996
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: Philly with the late great Jim Johnson. I think there

997
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: are definitely some similarities. I think if you put Patrick

998
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes on those Eagles teams, I think Eagles win a

999
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: couple of Super Bowls. So Donovan was a really good player.

1000
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: Wasn't Patrick. So I think if you put Patrick with

1001
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: Jim Johnson and Andy Reid in two thousand and two

1002
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: and two thousand and three and two thousand and four,

1003
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, they probably win a Super Bowl

1004
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: or two. Right, So, Jim Johnson's elite Spags learned under

1005
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: Jim Johnson, now Spags under Andy and they're elite on defense.

1006
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, I definitely see some some traits there for similarities.

1007
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: I've been a Packer fan my whole life. You've lived

1008
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good life. Then I think this might be

1009
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: the year they returned to glory. New one, number one

1010
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver Josh Jacobs, Parsons eaton double teams for Gary.

1011
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: I think they're definitely gonna be really good. And you

1012
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: know Parsons motivated to prove the Cowboys trading him was

1013
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: a mistake. Can he be like defensive player of the year,

1014
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: get twenty plus sacks? Can Jordan Love have a big year? Yeah?

1015
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't see why I win in

1016
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen games. Isn't on the table, and then you know,

1017
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: in the mix to win the NFC. I don't think

1018
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: I wore enough sunscreen in Hawaii. I mean, my shoulders

1019
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: are peeling, my elbows are peeling. My face is like

1020
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: dry and itchy. Top of my head's peeling off. I

1021
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: thought I did, but I guess I gotta get a

1022
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: little more aggressive. You get older, your skin gets a

1023
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: little thinner. I used to be able to sit out

1024
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: in the sun. It's probably not It definitely wasn't healthy.

1025
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: But when I was young, I didn't even know what

1026
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: sunscreen was. I would just get so dark in tan.

1027
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: Now my skin peels off. My days in the sun

1028
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 1: might be over. Without wearing like bucket hats and long

1029
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: sleeved shirts. I'm like a football coach. You know when

1030
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: you see those football coaches that you see highlights. If

1031
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: you've ever been to an NFL or college practice, you

1032
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: go out there, it be I mean the peak of

1033
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: summer humidity in the South, or like when I was

1034
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: at President State and be one hundred and ten degrees.

1035
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: These coaches have long pants, long sleeves, bucket hats. Smart move. Actually, Hey, John,

1036
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: big fan of the show. Question for the mailbag. I'm

1037
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: a Giants fan. My family has had season tickets since

1038
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 1: the sixties. For the first time in a long time,

1039
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: I feel like there is optimism around the team. Yes,

1040
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: Joe Shane has made some head scratching moves, but I

1041
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: think post Saquon Barkley, he's actually learned from his mistakes

1042
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: and made some really good football decisions. Dayball can be

1043
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: a hothead, but I do think he can coach given

1044
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: what he did with DJ in twenty two. My question

1045
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: is this, do you think they will get another year?

1046
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: And what would you need to see if the team

1047
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: is truly going in the right direction and what would

1048
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: need to happen for that. I think this year will

1049
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: be rough because of the schedule, and I do think

1050
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: that for better or worse, Dart will play a lot

1051
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: of football. It looks like by all accounts, Dayball is

1052
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: in love with Jackson and I can help, but it

1053
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: would be a mistake. I do think they're in a

1054
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a predicament and this is a tough

1055
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: spot for Dable, and I think this is why they

1056
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: made him the number two quarterback, because they're probably not

1057
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna win nine er ten games. But we kind of

1058
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: think like they got some pretty good pieces, good defensive

1059
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: line of dual. Carr's got a chance to be a

1060
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: beast to go with Burns and Dexter Lawrence. I don't

1061
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: even think Cabon is that good, and they for whatever

1062
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: reason picked up fifthier option. But if he could be

1063
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: like your fourth best defensive lineman, you're in pretty good

1064
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: shape offensively, I mean neighbors as a monster. If they're

1065
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: running back, room's pretty good. The rookie last year and

1066
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: then Scataboo this year to go along with Jackson Dart

1067
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be hard. This is where I do

1068
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: agree with like Peyton Manning and everyone about the organization's

1069
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,919
Speaker 1: fucking with young quarterbacks. There is no point to let

1070
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball pick his quarterback, which he did because

1071
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: if you watch the clips that came out of that

1072
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: draft room, all clearly loved him, and Joe Shane was

1073
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: in charge of making sure they landed Jackson Dart form

1074
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: Why would you fire Dable after a year. So you

1075
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: have to be okay with having a rough stretch. Now,

1076
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: if he wins like two games, it's gonna be hard

1077
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 1: to justify. But if they could win six or seven,

1078
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: if Jackson can show some I would say promise. Yeah.

1079
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think Russell Wilson's leash couldn't

1080
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: be shorter. I give Russell Wilson over under three and

1081
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: a half games. So I think what will have to

1082
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: happen is less about the wins and losses and more

1083
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: just like, how does Jackson Dart look? Because Jackson Dart

1084
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 1: looks good. With Brian Dable, I think they would be

1085
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. Siriani deserves more credit. He doesn't

1086
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: pick the players, but he does make it work on

1087
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: the field. There are many stars on the team and

1088
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: he keeps them rowing in the same direction. His style

1089
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: might look different, but he delivers results. Your thoughts, I agree.

1090
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: I think you know, Joe Tory is a good example.

1091
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: Philled I think does get a lot of credit. But

1092
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: I think we act like it's easy to coach Kobe

1093
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: and Shack or Michael or the Yankees or some loaded team. Obviously,

1094
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: he has advantages. He has one of the best gms

1095
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: that has a bunch of juice and a bunch of power.

1096
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: He has fic fangio. You know when he had Shane

1097
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: Steiken or last year Kellen Moore became a head coach.

1098
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's two offensive coordinators became mad coaches. But

1099
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: he is the guy that's in charge of Like if

1100
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter is acting up. You know when a guy

1101
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: gets a dui. Well, Dom's kind of in charge of that,

1102
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, Like he's got to

1103
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: deal with these personalities and when situations happened last year

1104
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: that Brandon Graham Jalen Hurts thing with aj Brown, like

1105
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: that's his problem, like ultimately how he can get involved.

1106
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: But he's with those guys in the meeting, he's with

1107
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: those guys on the practice field. So yeah, it's it's

1108
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: not an easy job at all. This is not one

1109
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: of those where like you couldn't fake it this long.

1110
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: He definitely brings stuff to the table and he's clearly

1111
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: good at delan with people, which is important, you know,

1112
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: because unlike that Browns assistant GM that was like data

1113
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: points and the fucking robots. It's like, well, Miles Garrett

1114
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: and Shador Sanders and you know Jerry Judy like they

1115
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: a robots, they're human beings. It's always what baseball manager said,

1116
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: it's so easy for the analytical guy to come to

1117
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: my office and hand me the lineup and be like, well,

1118
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: this guy's had seven hits in the last two games

1119
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: and he's you benched him for this other guy. Because

1120
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: you like the matchup. Well, I have to tell him that,

1121
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: and a little nerd gets to go back upstairs. He's

1122
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna be replaced by Ai here pretty soon, and

1123
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: I have to go interact with the first baseman and

1124
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: say that you're out of the lineup today. So it's

1125
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: like you can talk about data points and all this stuff,

1126
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: which again I'm not anti data points, but like, ultimately

1127
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: he's on Nick Sirianni. Even if you know the Eagles

1128
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: have a pretty big analytical group, you know, it's on

1129
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: him to verbalize that to the players. So yeah, it's

1130
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 1: it's a tough job coaching and Philly is really really hard.

1131
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: It's like coaching an SEC football team. It is difficult.

1132
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of the SEC will end on this. I know

1133
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: that people are saying Kaitlin de Bor's job is in

1134
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: jeopardy after the loss of Florida State, But who could

1135
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: be doing a better job. I know coaching in the

1136
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: SEC requires a certain mindset and energy to be applied

1137
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: to your coaching practice. But he was honestly the best

1138
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 1: option in the country to replace Nick Saban, coming off

1139
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: a national championship appearance with Washington and years of success

1140
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: before that, I don't think there would have been a

1141
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: better option. Saban set the bar so high that it's

1142
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: almost impossible to live up to the same performance that

1143
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: he had for such a long period of time. Well,

1144
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: didn't they go after Steve Sarkizi and he turned him down?

1145
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: I do think you could have argued, could they have

1146
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: hired Lane Kiffin? Would nick Saban of Okay to Lane

1147
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: Kiffin at the time? I don't know. Maybe you wouldn't have.

1148
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that's fair Lane new Alabama. Lane knows the

1149
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: SA I think could Stark turned down rightfully? So I

1150
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: would say at Texas as well. I do think if

1151
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: you look back, should Alabama have hired Lane Kivin? And

1152
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: I do think there's an undercurrent of I don't know

1153
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: if I know they act like they're close, but if

1154
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Saban was gonna let Lane replace him, I can't confirm that,

1155
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: but I I can put enough pieces of the puzzle

1156
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: together to know, Like, obviously Lane would have left Old

1157
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: miss for Alabama, but was that an option because clearly

1158
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't already to be there. So I do think

1159
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: it's fair to go could we have hired Lane Kivin?

1160
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, like who there weren't that many options.

1161
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: I do understand a lot of these tiktoks are going

1162
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: viral of the Alabama guys doing tiktoks. I do think

1163
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: you could probably find guys on Georgia or Ohio state

1164
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: doing tiktoks. I think the problem is, like people have downtime,

1165
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: they go on their phone, they do stupid shit. Yeah,

1166
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: I can't relate to a TikTok dance. I can't, but

1167
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: most twenty year old can they do them. Nick Saban

1168
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: had guys, I'm sure they were on TikTok. You know what,

1169
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: You couldn't be late to a meeting, you wouldn't have

1170
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: tapped out of a game, you wouldn't have got thrown around.

1171
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: So clearly, whatever Dubor's doing Kaylin de Boor sometimes say

1172
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: his name wrong, it's just not working. He's proven he's

1173
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: a good coach. I do believe that in certain places,

1174
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: like being a kind of an old school a hole

1175
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: works like that's gonna work with the New England Patriots

1176
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: the Northeast. That works. That's what Belichick was, That's what

1177
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: rabel is. Drid Mail tried to be everyone's friend. It's

1178
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: not gonna work now, just to be an a hole.

1179
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: To be an a hole is you got to know

1180
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. So when Nick Saban screamed at everybody,

1181
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: they all knew a couple of things. One, he obviously

1182
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: knows what he's talking about, look at his resume. And

1183
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: two then he would just tell you what to do

1184
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: football wise, it would work. So whatever they're coaching these

1185
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: guys up to do is not working. Now are they

1186
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: recruiting the right guys? I don't know. I don't know.

1187
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't have the answers to this. But what we

1188
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: witnessed the other day against Florida State and sometimes last

1189
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: year was just pretty embarrassing. And they're gonna have some

1190
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: big games this year. We'll just like, are they gonna

1191
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: lose to LSU? Are they gonna lose? Are they just

1192
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna get worked by these SEC teams? I don't know.

1193
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't have the answer. I was a big believer

1194
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: in this guy. Something clearly is off. And sometimes you know,

1195
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: you can set people up on a blind date and

1196
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: be like, these guys are perfect for each other. You know,

1197
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: she's a lawyer, high achiever, he's an entrepreneur, businessman. They

1198
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: both similar intellectually, both good looking people, or are they're

1199
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: both into this or that? And then it just doesn't work.

1200
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, in theory, this really good coach, he's good

1201
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: at offense, tough guy from the Midwest, should have a chance.

1202
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: He's won everywhere he's been and it doesn't happen. Does

1203
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: it mean Kaitlin's some feelage idiot? No? Does it mean

1204
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Alabama's a tough place to play? Of course it does.

1205
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: But maybe, like you're right, maybe no one could have

1206
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: replaced him, maybe unless it was Kirby Smart, you know,

1207
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: or Urban Meyer or someone that like this notion. And listen,

1208
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: if Kaylin were to get fired, which I still don't

1209
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen, but let's just say hypothetically he

1210
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:21,919
Speaker 1: gets fired, everyone hired John Gruden. Listen, I do believe

1211
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: John Gruden's going to get one of these jobs. But

1212
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: I also think we forget John Gruden got run out

1213
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: of Tampa at the end. It wasn't really going that

1214
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: great with the Raiders. You know, Like, listen, he loves football,

1215
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: and when he talks about football, it's easy to kind

1216
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: of gravitate like he's a great personality. John Madden was

1217
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: the same. But look at John Madden's resume. When he

1218
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: was with the Raiders, he dominated. John Gruden didn't win

1219
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: much since like two thousand and four, like lost a lot,

1220
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: and with the Raiders it was honestly pretty underwhelming. So

1221
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: this notion that like, Okay, let's say Duboris fired tomorrow,

1222
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: it's like, we'll go hire John Gruden. I'd rather have

1223
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: a Lane given I'd be all over Lane Kiffin knows

1224
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: the SEC and is winning. It's like, if you can

1225
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: win nineteen games and all miss, you can't win national

1226
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: championships in Alabama to me, and Lane Kiffin should be

1227
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: the number one idea for if if Florida flames out

1228
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: this year in Alabama, I would be all and I

1229
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: don't think Alabama's gonna open up, but I would be

1230
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: all over Lane Kiffn. That being said, I do think

1231
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffin are both going to be

1232
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: in the mix if Mike McDaniel's flames out in Florida

1233
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: to replace because that that owner is gonna want a

1234
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,919
Speaker 1: splashy coach. And I was like, who are the really

1235
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: splashy guys in the NFL? Not gonna be probably this cycle,

1236
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: but Lane Kiffen and Kirby Smart get some headlines, and

1237
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: whether they work or not, I don't know, but I

1238
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: get to see both those guys tired of dealing with

1239
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: the nil no rules. It's just it's just chaotic. With

1240
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: the NFL's challenging. You got to land a quarterback, you

1241
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: got to build a team, you got salary gap, you

1242
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: know restrictions, but at least you know the rules. It's

1243
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: very black and white. You can and can't do the volume.

1244
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Mm hmm
