Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Remember when baseball had the Mitchell Report and I always

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: hated that, and I'm like, well, you took like two clubhouses.

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: You took a couple of you know, al East clubhouses

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: and Eastern like met Clubhouse or Red Sox or Yankee Clubhouse.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: That that's not a macro. Look.

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: The Mitchell Report I always thought was unfair and maybe

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the wrong people. Albert Breer Monday morning

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: quarterback joins us, everybody's telling me he's a good prospect.

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: I don't know.

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean to beat Ohio State and that Miami defa

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: I thought against Miami late it was unbelievable in Oregon.

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean they were in so many

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: close games and they won all of them.

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: I mean, what are your people telling you? A Mendoza.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: I think it's probably similar to what you're hearing, you know, Like,

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: I think the best way to look at this is

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: always with the historical context and how he fit into

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: other draft classes. And I don't think he would be

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 4: the number one overall pick in every draft. Is the

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: way that I would term it. If you go back

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: two years ago, when Caleb Williams went first, jayde and

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 4: Daniels went second, Drake May won third, Pennix went eighth,

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: McCarthy went tenth, and Nix went twelfth. The consensus I've

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: gotten is that he would have been the fourth of

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 4: those quarterbacks, so right in the middle, and the cop

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: I've gotten as Jared Goff, and I think if you

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: look at him physically, what he's able to do, how

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: natural a stroke he's got, the composure he has working

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: from the pocket, and his ability to play off of

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: play action a lot of RPO stuff at Indiana, the

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 4: same way there was at Cal all those years ago.

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: You can see the comp there. So you know, I

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: think most teams like the makeup, They like how much

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: he's won, They liked the accuracy. They think, even though

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 4: he hasn't played in a true pro style offense, he's

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 4: got the ability to do that based on his ability

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 4: to process, but is he physically what you know, say

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: Drake May was coming out of North Carolina, or Jaden

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: Daniels was coming out LSU, or Caleb Williams was coming

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: out of USC.

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: He's not that.

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so would have gone fourth or fifth in that direct?

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Did they like him better than JJ McCarthy, Yes, and

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying.

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Better than Pennix, better than McCarthy, better than Nicks, but

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: not as good as those others, right, and look like Colin.

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: I think those other three, I mean one of them

55
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: was just in the Super Bowl, the other one was

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: in the NFC, another one was in the NFC title

57
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 4: game last year, and then the third one is Caleb Williams,

58
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 4: you know, who was in the divisional round of the

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: playoffs and went toe toe with Matthew Stafford.

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: So, like, I think the bar would be pretty high.

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 4: If the bar is the twenty four draft, but I'm

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 4: just using that as a for example. There are other

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 4: draft classes where he would have gone number one overall.

64
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: I think he would have been in the mix last

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: year with cam Ward.

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: You know I was saying, and this is just my interpretation.

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: I grew up out West. You grew up out east.

68
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I think you grew up at every place right. And

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: I always had this theory when I worked at the

70
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: other place, ESPN, that West Coast people all go east

71
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: by the time they're twenty five for business to go

72
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: to Europe connecting flight, they want to see New York City.

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Eastern people don't necessarily go west. When I worked at ESPN,

74
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: half the building thought that Pittsburgh was west. I mean

75
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: they thought anything west of the Hudson River was like.

76
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even know if it's in Denver, right, And

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: so West Coast fans pay attention to the Yankees, Red Sox,

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles.

80
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: A lot of Patriot fans are like, I don't know

81
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: anything about Seattle, and I don't.

82
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Think they understand how great Mike McDonald made me maybe

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: the next Sean McVay, and how great the GM is.

84
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: He's Howie Roseman, but actually in a draft the last

85
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: four years better. And so when I look at Seattle,

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of fans that are removed from

87
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest like, don't realize how good and deep

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: this roster is. I mean, everybody likes to come to

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: the cat in this league. I don't think you can

90
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: copy what Seattle's done, can you?

91
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: Right?

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: And I agree, I think like he's got a Hall

93
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: of Fame case now John Schneider does, like having one

94
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: with two completely different groups, you know.

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: Like I, and you look.

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: At the roster and that's what sustainable about it is

97
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: that there's so many young players that went. And I

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: think we talked about this before the year, right, Like

99
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 4: the Seattle Seahawks were one of those teams that had

100
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: a lot of very good young players where if those

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: play could become great players, well then they'd really have something.

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: And we know about the older veterans on the team,

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 4: Leonard Williams, Cooper Cup, guys they got from the outside

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: right that have been important pieces for him.

105
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: Ernest Jones is another one of those.

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: But you look at the young guys that they've drafted

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 4: and developed, and how many of those guys elevated this

108
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: year Jackson Smith and Jig but Charles Cross, Kenneth Walker

109
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: Byron Murphy became a monster on the defensive line. Devin

110
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 4: Witherspoon I think could have been Super Bowl MVP. Then

111
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: this year they draft Nicki Manorie and Gray Zabel and

112
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: it's interesting, you know. I think John Schneider is one

113
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: of the best things about him as he keeps evolving, right.

114
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 4: So his ability to do this was part of a

115
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: self evaluation after some of the lesion of boom guys

116
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: started to age out, where he went back and looked

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: at it and said, where have we started making our mistakes?

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: And their mistakes were made when they were.

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: Reaching for guys right and you see the result now

120
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: where they don't reach as much.

121
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba is a great example of it.

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: The top rated guy on their board at the time,

123
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 4: right when they were picking there, I think was twentieth

124
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: overall in the twenty twenty three drafts. At the time,

125
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 4: they had DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett on big contracts,

126
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: but they picked him anyway because he's a great player.

127
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: And now the other two guys are gone, and Jasen

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 4: is the best receiver in football.

129
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: So it's just.

130
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: Decisions like that, the ability to self evaluate, the ability.

131
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: To just go and find great players.

132
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: The Seahawks have a chance to be very good for

133
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: a very long time because they've continued to look in

134
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: the mirror. They've continued to find ways to get great

135
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: players in the roster. They found solutions at quarterback, and

136
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: they knew when to say when I mean, you give

137
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: John Schneider a credit for the coach too, right, Like

138
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: he was the one who went out and found Mike

139
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: McDonald and was willing to wait three weeks for Mike

140
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: McDonald when everybody else was snapping up their head coaches.

141
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 4: There were eight teams that had openings that year, so

142
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: Schneider deserves a ton of credit for what's happened. They're

143
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: no question, it's hard to replicate because so much of it.

144
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: It's just about the nuts bolts of being a GM,

145
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: which is about getting good people in the building.

146
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: I want to talk to you about the coaching hires.

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: So I think it was the Athletic went out and

148
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: asked nine executives, and Joe Brady ranked very low, And

149
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I said, what's happening in Buffalo is fascinating because Brandon

150
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: Bean's already getting heat locally fans and media on his drafting.

151
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: So now he goes in the building to hire the

152
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: replacement for a very good coach. If you look at

153
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: the schedule next year for the Buffalo Bills, Albert we

154
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: put it up earlier. They are facing the greatest coaching

155
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: opposition schedule Vrabel twice. Look at this, Andy Reid, Rabel twice, Harbaugh,

156
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, Peyton, Dan Campbell, Matt Lafleur, Dimko Ryan, Sean McVay.

157
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: So they're not drafting well, Brandon Bean's getting a ton

158
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: of heat. They hire in the building and that usually

159
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: doesn't work. And this schedule, I mean, I think, and

160
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean there's an argument that there'll be in a

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: coaching deficit even if Brady's solid in nine games, ten games.

162
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Let's say it goes sideways in Buffalo. How maybe I'll

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: just start it with this. I think the heat's greater

164
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: than Brandon Bean wants to acknowledge. The media, the fans.

165
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I think Joe Brady realistically Thanksgiving. If they're struggling against

166
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: this schedule, I think the heat gets racketed up. That

167
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, right, Yeah.

168
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: There's pressure on everybody because of the quarterback. I mean,

169
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 4: let's make no mistake about this. I mean, he's going

170
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: to be thirty years old this offseason, and there's a

171
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: ton of pressure on everybody in that building to win

172
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: while he's still in his prime. And because of the

173
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: amount of damage he's taken on because of his play style, right,

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: Like you don't know whether or not he's gonna be

175
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: able to He hasn't every intention of playing until he's forty,

176
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: But you don't know, like is it going to be

177
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 4: the same at thirty four?

178
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: Is it going to be the same at thirty six?

179
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: And so what that does is it creates a situation

180
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: where there's pressure on everyone in there to try to

181
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: maximize what they have with Josh Allen and the here

182
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: and the now, and so a lot of it for

183
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: Joe Brady is going to be about getting a better

184
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: return on investment from the players they've already paid. And

185
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 4: this is the mistake that people make with them. People

186
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: think like, okay, like the window is closing.

187
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: It's not.

188
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 4: It's whether or not this second group of players that

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: they put around Josh Allen is as good as the

190
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: first group. And so it's Greg Russo, it's Terrell Bernard,

191
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 4: It's Koil Shakir, It's Dalton Kincaid, It's Christian Benford, is

192
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 4: James Cook, it's all of these guys that now have

193
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: contracts where you're looking at them saying can they elevate?

194
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: And that's going to be.

195
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: The pressure on Joe Brady and his staff maximizing those guys. Now,

196
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: I think they are going to be aggressive, and they

197
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 4: could go out and sign somebody like Alec Pierce from

198
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: the Colts who could be a difference maker for them.

199
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: Think you're going to see those sorts of things.

200
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: But because of the way that Brandon Beans built, they

201
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: are locked in with a core that they have right now,

202
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 4: and I think the question is going to be can

203
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: that core be good enough to.

204
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: Compete for a championship?

205
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 4: And the pressure now falls on the coaching staff to

206
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 4: get the most out of those guys.

207
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: I said yesterday to defend Drake May one year ago

208
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: from about you know today, Sam Darnold got sacked nine

209
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: times and was dreadful against the Rams. YEP a year later,

210
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: he's hoisting a trophy. Things change. Drake May was awful,

211
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: but it's also Seattle's defense. But his inefficiency, he looked rattled, nervous,

212
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: may have not been one hundred percent. Do you think

213
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: privately there are some concerns about not just a Super Bowl.

214
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: He was a turnover mess for about a month at

215
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the end. Once they played good teams, the schedule was

216
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: so easy. Once they ratcheted up defenses. He looked overwhelmed

217
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: a lot. You think privately there's a little concern.

218
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: I would tell you privately, what they're saying right now

219
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: is about where he's at, and that.

220
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: You know.

221
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 4: I think, like what you saw in the playoffs was

222
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: sort of reflective of some of the stuff that you

223
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: saw on the college tape, which was his first year

224
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 4: in North Carolina. A lot of things first year starting

225
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: at North Carolina in twenty two, a lot of things

226
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 4: were right around him, and he was great and looked

227
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: like a number one pick in the draft, and then

228
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: the next year lost his offensive coordinator. I believe Phil

229
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 4: Longo went to Wisconsin, he lost his best receiver. I

230
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: think his best receiver that year was Josh Downs. You'd

231
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: have to look that up. There was an eligibility question

232
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: with his best receiver coming back the next year that

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: was tes Walker. Sort of all these moving parts and

234
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: he started to have to take on more and sort

235
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: of play some hero ball and that wound up costing

236
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: him in the evaluation of some teams, right, and so

237
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: like what you've seen over the course of his career

238
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: sort of a microcosm of that year.

239
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: One some up some downs.

240
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 4: He had to carry that group because it wasn't a

241
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: very good team. Year two, they get a lot better.

242
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 4: The schedule contributes to it, and you see a guy

243
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: who go out there and be really effective and efficient

244
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: and play smart football. And then when you get to

245
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: the playoffs at flips right where they went from either

246
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: being talent equated or having a talent advantage. Now they're

247
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: in these playoff settings or the other team has better

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: players than they do. You know, when you're talking about

249
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: the defense versus the offense, and you look at that

250
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: they played in the playoffs.

251
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 6: It was the.

252
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 4: Chargers, the Texans, the Broncos, and the Seahawks. That might

253
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: be for the five best defenses in football, Colin, And so, like,

254
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 4: I think that that's part of it, you know, is

255
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: like that there was more on Drake to carry the

256
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 4: team in the playoffs, and I think you saw some

257
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: of the bad habits come back. They're confident that he's

258
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: a smart kid, They're confident that he is got the

259
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: right sort of head on his shoulders for all of this,

260
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 4: that he's resilient and that he's a hard enough worker

261
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 4: to get through it. But I think what you saw

262
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 4: in the playoffs was maybe a little bit more of

263
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: a reflection of where he's truly at now. I voted

264
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: for him for MVP. I think he did more to

265
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: carry his team than anybody in football this year. But

266
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: if you look at him and how he looked against

267
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 4: that Seattle defense with all they throw at you versus

268
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: House Matthew Stafford looked two weeks earlier, That's where I

269
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: think you see a little bit of the learning curve,

270
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: you know. And look, he's twenty three years old, so

271
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: there's every reason to believe he's going to get there.

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: But it doesn't happen overnight.

273
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: Good stuff Monday morning. Quarterback Albert Brewer is always buddy, great,

274
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: seeing you all right?

275
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: Thanks gong you bet.

276
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's there's just there's just no other way to

277
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: put it. I said it last week. Can't be president

278
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: until you're thirty five. Stafford's life experience, quarterback experience snaps

279
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: in the facility all the film he's watched, all his

280
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: starts and Drake May, Drake May can't possibly be Matt Stafford.

281
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: He can't possibly go to the line of scrimmage and

282
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: look at that Rubik's cube and flip it. He just can't.

283
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: He's too young. He can't do it. That's why I

284
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: thought Stafford was the MVP. Stafford goes to the line

285
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: and knows the why. Drake May is still trying to

286
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: figure out the what the gap between them in knowledge

287
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: pre snap is. It's the Grand Canyon.

288
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: That was my take.

00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 9: All right, I think we're worn out on your Seattle Seahawks,

315
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 9: so let's go to your second favorite team, Colum the

316
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 9: Denver Broncos and Bo Nixon, Sean Payton. They are close.

317
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 9: It sounds like to replacing their OC Joe Lombardi. Everybody

318
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 9: knew it was going to be Davis Webb, but how

319
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 9: about this one Colin. Davis Webb reportedly will be calling

320
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 9: plays in Denver. Now, I am very dubious that Sean

321
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 9: Payton has obviously called plays since he's been a head coach,

322
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 9: and now he's going to give it up for Davis Webb,

323
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 9: a first time play caller. This is a shocking development.

324
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 9: And well, this is I don't want to say, I

325
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 9: don't believe it, but I'll.

326
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: Believe it when I see it.

327
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Can I say that I think Sean has wanted to

328
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: get off play call oh okay, and maybe was loyal

329
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: to Lombardi but did not necessarily completely trust him, And

330
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: I think he thinks Davis Webb, that's why he made

331
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: the move, is sort of next level. He's one of

332
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: these sharp young guys. That's nothing against Joel Lombardi, but

333
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: that was his loyal buddy, and ally that doesn't necessarily

334
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: mean you think he can be Ben Johnson. So I

335
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: think you see this on staffs all the time, where

336
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: you know you've got your friends, you hire people that

337
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: you like and respect, but do you really think they're

338
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: at the top top of the food chain, they're the

339
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: next Mike McDonald or Sean McVay. And I'm not saying

340
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: Davis Webb is, but there is a sense around the

341
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: league that, like a Demico Ryans before he got hired,

342
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: people are talking about this young coach as potentially a

343
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: next great young coach.

344
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 9: Everybody loves the shiny new thing, right Davis Webb.

345
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean he was in the league like what.

346
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 9: Six years ago, former Texas Tech quarterback.

347
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I don't know the excitement. I'm listening.

348
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 9: He's probably gonna be good, but the excitement over every

349
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 9: new thing. How about this column? Is this Sean Payton

350
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 9: lining up a secession plan for him? Hey, we got

351
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 9: bo Nicks on the rookie deal for two more years,

352
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 9: let's try to win a super Bowl. I walk in

353
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 9: for then off into the sunset, and Davis Web takes

354
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 9: over for me.

355
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I think Sean wants to coach more than two years.

356
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: I would say maybe four years, four more years.

357
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 9: Well, Davis Web's not sticking around for four years as

358
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 9: an OC. If you're hot and like you're one of

359
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 9: these superstars, you stay around one, maybe two at best three,

360
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 9: and then you know you look for a head coaching gig.

361
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 9: But it's weird you contrast this with what's going on

362
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 9: in Seattle. Do we like it? I mean they handed

363
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 9: it off in house. I thought we didn't love that.

364
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Uh, it's different. You didn't lose a guy who elevated,

365
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: You fired a.

366
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: Guy he did. You did get off a guy.

367
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: Yet different when you're firing a guy and then replacing

368
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: in house, that's like, we got a guy better in

369
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: house that that has proved. When when a guy leaves

370
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: an upgrades in house. The answer generally isn't really good

371
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: guy in house? So I don't I think they feel Okay, Well.

372
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: We'll see. We'll see what the Broncos.

373
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 9: Let's move on to John Harbaugh, Jesse Minter and the

374
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 9: Baltimore Ravens. So you move off Harball, you bring in

375
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 9: Mint and his first order of business is going to

376
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 9: have to figure out this Lamar Jackson contract Colin. Interestingly,

377
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 9: the owner, Steve Bishatti, remember last month he said he

378
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 9: wants to have an extension finalized before free agency, Colin,

379
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 9: Is that a surprise to you?

380
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: A new deal for Lamar before free agency?

381
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 4: No?

382
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: He has two years.

383
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 9: Left on his five year, two hundred and sixty.

384
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: Million dollar deal.

385
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: This is why I'm not buying them as a super

386
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: Bowl team, got it? I just you can't pay your

387
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: quarterback this level. We saw Mahomes and Allen who are

388
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: better quarterbacks. You have a limited limitations in your roster.

389
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: If you want to be the highest paid guy, congrats,

390
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: but you're not a super Bowl team.

391
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: How often?

392
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 9: How much do you think? Minter discussed this with Mashati, like, hey,

393
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 9: what are we doing at quarterback? How much are you

394
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 9: paying Lamar.

395
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 3: Well, Minter wanted a job, and Baltimore's a good job.

396
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: You take the job.

397
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, but Lamar third highest cap hit next season, second

398
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty seven.

399
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: Now this is where it gets interesting.

400
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 9: Colin Lamar, remember the last time they went to negotiating,

401
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 9: he said he wanted fully guaranteed deal. Remember that it

402
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 9: was ugly, his mom was his agent, and it was

403
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 9: getting it was on the heels of Sean Watson deal

404
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 9: and he wanted fully guaranteed.

405
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: Is this one gonna get messy in Baltimore?

406
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so.

407
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, well we shall see. Finally, let's go to

408
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 9: Todd mcshay's mock draft. He was on the show yesterday

409
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 9: and one interesting thing we wanted to revisit here is

410
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 9: his his claim or view in that ty Simpson should

411
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 9: be a good fit in the Sean McVay offense to

412
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 9: replace Matt Stafford.

413
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: Not obviously next year, but here's McVeigh here.

414
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 9: Here he is talking McShay on ty Simpson to the Rams.

415
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 10: I think with McVeigh with one year behind Stafford, let's say,

416
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 10: in that offensive system with a coach's son's mind, I

417
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 10: think that could work.

418
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 8: I put him at thirteen in this mock draft.

419
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 10: As of right now, I don't think that that's gonna happen,

420
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 10: but wait for it. Like too many I've been doing

421
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 10: this two and a half decades. As we get closer

422
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 10: without other quarterbacks, someone's gonna rise and I could see

423
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 10: Ty winning over a lot of coaches in those meetings.

424
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: You're close to McVeigh, let me just ask you.

425
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: You know I have a good I'm.

426
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 9: Sorry, not McVay, micksha, mister McShay Todd. So we know

427
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 9: how this process works. When you talk draft, people want

428
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 9: to talk skill position guys in quarterbacks. They don't want

429
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 9: to talk to big uglies on the offensive line. We

430
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 9: know that matters more. But is this McShay pumping up

431
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 9: a quarterback, because really, it looks like we're a one

432
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 9: quarterback in the first round right now, and that's not

433
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 9: sexy for drafts.

434
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: No. I think it's a great draft.

435
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of big markets and fascinating teams.

436
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean even the Rams and the Chiefs are up

437
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: there like it's I think it's a very good draft.

438
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a I mean, you got a

439
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: star quarterback. I don't think Mickshay's pumping up anything. I

440
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: think ty Simpson, uh, you know, there's there's reasons I

441
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: think he has. I think he has a nice arm.

442
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: I think he has a plus arm. Actually, I don't

443
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: see him as a I mean, I'm a plus arm.

444
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: I think he's got a good arm. I don't see

445
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: him a first round guy. But I but I also

446
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: didn't see Jackson Dart as a first round guy. I

447
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: thought Jackson Dart was middle or upper second round. And

448
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: Jackson had a nice rookie year.

449
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 9: Well, he also went like twenty five ish.

450
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: The ram second pick is near the bab.

451
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 9: Then that's not horrible, it's weird. I like Ty Simpson

452
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 9: all season, Colin, and then he got so much love

453
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 9: it was like top ten times.

454
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute.

455
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 9: I saw the guy had some good comebacks and he

456
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 9: started to crater late.

457
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: Only started for one year. I don't know.

458
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 9: I'm thinking second round will be ideal. Jets will take

459
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 9: him in the second. Well, gladly take him in the second.

460
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: They could get l way they are not winning stopped.

461
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: They could literally get Caleb Williams and it would go

462
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: sidew oh come on, Well it did with Sam Darnel.

463
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: He looks pretty good.

464
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: He was not good back then.

465
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 3: It's funny he got that good. Yeah, j after the news.

466
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,760

Speaker 1: Twenty NFL season, thirteen time Pro bowler, a Super Bowl champ.

471
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: I was just watching some of that Saint Super Bowl

472
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: with the coach colts Man that was well coached, stack

473
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: roster Drew Brees, and now he is a first ballot

474
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer.

475
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: He's joining us live from New York. He was doing

476
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 3: stuff with a.

477

Speaker 1: Company Stretch Zomo'll get to that in a second.

478
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 3: So it's interesting.

479
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: We have footage of Dan Foutz, former Oregon Duck Charger,

480
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: knocking on the door, and so I mean, you got

481
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: a sense it could happen, So like, just take me

482
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: to that moment when you saw Dan.

483
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: What'd you think.

484
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 8: It was?

485
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 6: It was a shock, but really it was like the

486
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 6: setup before that. So it was it was my birthday

487
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 6: a few days prior to that, and I share a

488
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 6: birthday with my son Balen, who was the one year

489
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 6: old that I held up at Super Bowl, who's now

490
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 6: seventeen in driving by the way. So the weekend, the

491
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 6: weekend was all about him. So Monday rolls around, and

492
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: my daughter, who's eleven years old, who was like my

493
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 6: absolute sweetheart, It's like, Dad, I don't want to take

494
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 6: you out to eat at five o'clock. And so I'm like,

495
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 6: my heart's melting. I'm like, oh, absolutely, sweetie, so be

496
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 6: ready by five. So I'm ready, my wife's ready, my

497
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 6: daughter's ready, and the boys are messing around upstairs. I'm like, boys,

498
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 6: let's go. Ryland said, five o'clock. We're out the door.

499
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 6: They're still messing around, Like I'm starting to get frustrated.

500
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 6: I'm literally about to leave the boys like they're being disrespectful.

501
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 8: We're leaving, like teach them a lesson.

502
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 6: And then and then there's a knock at the door,

503
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 6: and I'm like, who's knocking at the door.

504
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 8: We're trying to get out of the house, you know.

505
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 6: And so then there's Dan Folence and ten cameras, you know,

506
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 6: and it's like, oh boy, you got me.

507
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: Oh that is a great that is a great story.

508
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: You are just about to teach your sons a life lesson.

509
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: And then time achievement award next. That's how it should work.

510
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 8: That's right.

511
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 6: In the meantime, my wife told them like, hey, you

512
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 6: guys stall stall until they knock on the door.

513
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 8: We can't leave, you know. So she had this whole

514
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 8: thing orchestrated the whole time.

515
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: Oh that's great, so you know, it's fun.

516
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: The people were saying, Sam Darnold, They said, Sam, you

517
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: know Colin, you love Donald. He didn't do anything, and

518
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: I joked, I said, yeah, I didn't throw a pick,

519
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: he didn't fumble, he didn't have multiple sacks.

520
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: And I went back and looked this up.

521
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: Here are super Bowl winning quarterbacks with no playoff turnovers,

522
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, and Sam Darnald.

523
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 3: And what do you have in common?

524
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: You're great, your coaches are great, and your rosters were

525
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: really good. I'm watching your Saints' highlights during the break.

526
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, you guys had good players. Take me

527
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: to that playoff run by you. Did you understand, Drew,

528
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: this is the best roster I may have had. There

529
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: are certain throws. Maybe I won't make this playoff run.

530
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 6: You know, obviously we were ultra confident, you know, with

531
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 6: that team and going into the nine playoffs.

532
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 8: If you recall we started off thirteen and zho, you know,

533
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 8: we were rolling.

534
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 6: We lost the stuff one to Dallas, then we lost

535
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 6: a tough one to Tampa where we lost it or

536
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 6: we missed the field going over time in the exact

537
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 6: same spot where we made the.

538
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 8: Field goal in the NFC Championship to advance.

539
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 6: The super But I think when we looked at kind

540
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 6: of our road through the playoffs, look, it was it

541
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 6: was a gauntlet. You know, Kurt Warner was coming to

542
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 6: town Hall of Fame quarterback right they were airing it out.

543
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 6: Then NFC Championship it was Brett Farv and that Vikings team,

544
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 6: which was as good a Vikings team as I've ever seen.

545
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 8: And then obviously we were.

546
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 6: Going to play you know, Peyton Manning arguably a team

547
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 6: that could have been undefeated that year. They kind of

548
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: just threw the last two games so they could rest

549
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 6: their starters. So like we kind of knew what was

550
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 6: ahead of us, and yet we knew that if we

551
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 6: played our game and executed the way that we knew

552
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 6: that we could, that we could win and I would

553
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 6: always define our team as a somewhat aggressive team, you know,

554
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 6: knowing Sean Payton, knowing kind of the way he likes

555
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 6: to call a game.

556
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 8: I think it also equipped and empowered me as the quarterback.

557
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 6: Though in a lot of cases where I knew he

558
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 6: was going to be aggressive, I knew he was going

559
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 6: to dial it up. But I also knew that he

560
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 6: had trust and confidence in me to make great decisions,

561
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 6: to check the ball down if it wasn't there, to

562
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 6: not take any unnecessary chances because hey, we'll come back

563
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 6: and call it again. And so a lot of that

564
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 6: confidence and a lot of you know, playing that way

565
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 6: and at that level was the result of the confidence

566
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 6: that I knew he had in me.

567
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: Do you have a little soft spot for Donald? Based

568
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: on your first couple of years weren't perfect and Donald's

569
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: first several weren't. When you look at Sam, do you

570
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: you find yourself like Root and for him because that

571
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: journey you have some similarities.

572
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 6: One thousand percent one thousand percent, And honestly, I think

573
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 6: it embodies all the lessons that we hope to teach

574
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 6: our kids through sports and through team athletics, and that

575
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 6: is that you will face adversity. You will face failure

576
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 6: and disappointment, and it's how you react to it that matters.

577
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: And while it didn't work at the first couple of

578
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 6: teams that he went to, he continued to work. He

579
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 6: continued to recognize where he needed to get better and learn.

580
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 6: And I look at the journey that he traveled, and

581
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 6: while it wasn't maybe the road that he would have

582
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: envisioned when he first got in the league, it was

583
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 6: meant to be. And it's what has brought out the

584
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 6: best in him and allowed him to play.

585
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 8: The way that he has, lead the way that he has,

586
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 8: and also inspire others the way that he has.

587
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: When you think of Drew, when I think Drew Brees,

588
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: if somebody said give me a sentence for every quarterback

589
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: that played, and people said Drew Brees, and I'd be like,

590
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: that's the most accurate quarterback I've ever seen play. And

591
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: I've always had this feeling, and I was I'm clearly wrong,

592
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: but I always had this feeling I could improve a

593
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: lot about a quarterback. I can't make you bigger, but

594
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: if you're not accurate, you're never going to be super accurate.

595
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Like it did well, and by the way. I think

596
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: accuracy is very important. So you first couple of years

597
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: in the league were around sixty percent, and then you

598
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: end as the most accurate quarterback any of us have

599
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: ever seen. And it was that And I look at

600
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. People bang on him and I'm like, well,

601
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of horsepower if he can get

602
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: to sixty three percent, and then I'm kind of good

603
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: with it. So tell me you went from like average

604
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: sixty percent. Now that was a different time in the

605
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: NFL where that was better than what sixty percent is today.

606
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: That was like sixty five percent, but then you became

607
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: the most accurate guy.

608
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: Obviously a lot of it.

609
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Is you and the time and the devotion, but was

610
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: it also coaching wall Tell me how you got to

611
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: the greatest, most accurate quarterback? Off pretty accurate? Like what

612
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: was it?

613
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 9: So?

614
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 6: First off, to me, accuracy is trust and anticipation.

615
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 8: So it's the.

616
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 6: Trust in the chemistry and the timing that you developed

617
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 6: with the guys that you're throwings to your ability to

618
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 6: anticipate what happening given your preparation, your knowledge of your

619
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 6: own system. I think it's also understanding what wins and

620
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 6: loses in the NFL and the premium that you put

621
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 6: on being in a third and short situation than a

622
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 6: third and long situation.

623
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 8: Well, what's the difference between that.

624
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 6: Well, maybe it was the fact that I took the

625
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 6: checkdown as opposed to taking the risk on that play,

626
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 6: Like just because I know I can make that throw.

627
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 8: You have to have this.

628
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 6: Internal mechanism that kind of tells you, hey, that's a

629
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 6: one in ten completion versus I take this checkdown and

630
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: that gets me to third and four. Well, the chances

631
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 6: and probabilities of me converting that are much much higher

632
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 6: than being a third and ten, And so I'll give you.

633
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 6: Like with Caleb Williams, here's a guy who we watched

634
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 6: in college make miraculous plays like run around and do

635
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 6: all kinds of stuff. And I think you get wired

636
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 6: a certain way early in your career that hey, this

637
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 6: is how I play the game, and then you get

638
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: into the NFL game and you begin to understand No,

639
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 6: it's more about playing within the system, the timing and

640
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: rhythm with your feet, taking the completions that you need

641
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 6: to take. Occasionally, you're going to have to, you know,

642
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 6: do the kind of the off script stuff. But for

643
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 6: the most part, the game is won and lost by

644
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 6: just ahead of the chains, getting the ball in your

645
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 6: playmaker's hands, making good decisions and being on time and

646
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 6: executing the offense.

647
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 8: So I think that that that certainly can come.

648
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 6: Yes, there's a you know, there's a something to just

649
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 6: the mechanics right and the things that she will continue.

650
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 8: Like towards the end of my career, I was so

651
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 8: tuned with my.

652
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 6: Body and like when I would miss the throw, why

653
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 6: that was, oh, you know, I over it was too

654
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 6: large a stride, or my elbow dropped, or I didn't

655
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 6: have my front foot out in front of the target.

656
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 8: Like I could. I could fix problems immediately.

657
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: Right, just given the fact that I was so in

658
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 6: tune with my body and I knew what would lead

659
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 6: to accuracy.

660
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 8: So all these things happened with with time.

661
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 6: But I think the coaching part of it is, hey,

662
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 6: open receiver, you know, lived to a play other day,

663
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 6: make good decisions, you know, never go broke.

664
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 8: Taking a profit. Completions are at a premium.

665
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

666
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: By the way, you may be going through the Lincoln

667
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: Tunnel right now, but I got to ask you about streets,

668
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: a stretch zone, a company, your part if you were

669
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: all over New York, you were on Wall Street today,

670
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: you were on the morning shows.

671
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 3: What is stretch Zone? He is in the Lincoln Tunnel,

672
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: isn't he?

673
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's exactly. Hey.

674
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: You got me now, Yes, I got you?

675
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 8: You give me am I back? Hey?

676
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 6: First off, before I answer that, can we reminisce on

677
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 6: the time when literally I was talking to you after

678
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 6: we won the Super Bowl and do you remember that

679
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 6: I had to jump off the call because Obama was

680
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 6: calling on the other line.

681
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 8: Do you do you remember that we were in the

682
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 8: middle of the interview and I said, Colin, I am

683
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 8: so sorry.

684
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 6: I never thought I would say this, but can I

685
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 6: call you back because Obama is calling on the other

686
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 6: line to say congratulations. That was probably the first and

687
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 6: the only time that would ever happen.

688
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember it.

689
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: Well, So forget it left. Tell me about stretch Zone.

690
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, forget the Lincoln Tunnel there.

691
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

692
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 6: So so, Stretch Zone is the largest and fastest growing

693
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 6: practitioner ledge stretching brand in the country. It was something

694
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 6: that I utilized towards the end of my career really

695
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: to gain every advantage that I possibly could with my recovery,

696
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 6: with my flexibility with my mobility.

697
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 8: It made such a difference for me that when.

698
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 6: I got done playing, I actually sought out the owners

699
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 6: and the founders of the company.

700
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 8: To learn more about it.

701
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 6: And before I knew it, I was on the business side,

702
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 6: on the franchise or side as an investor and ambassador

703
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 6: in sitting on the board helping to grow and scale

704
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 6: the business. And I always knew that just from my

705
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 6: own personal experience and anecdotally that the practice lives. But

706
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 6: now we have the research and everything that we just

707
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 6: announced to back it up. It shows up to now

708
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 6: on our study showed increased energy, increased productivity, a higher

709
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 6: range of motion, less pain, better sleep, and just an

710
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 6: overall better quality of life. So the Stredul method applies

711
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 6: to anybody, whether your age thirteen, one hundred and thirteen,

712
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 6: whatever you're trying to accomplish, whether you're you know, we

713
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 6: can blow your high performance athlete, or just somebody who's

714
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 6: getting a little bit older who's lost the ability to move,

715
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 6: just trying to shape some strokes off your golf game.

716
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 8: There's something there for everybody.

717
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: Well, whether it's a former President Obama or the Lincoln Tunnel.

718
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,359
