1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: The volume. 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 2: Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up to 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: them is the right thing to do. So you know 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 2: Degree cool Rush deodorant right, Well, last year they changed 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: the formula and it did not go over well with 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: their fans. So Degrees the whole thing is it turns 7 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 2: the effort, and good thing it does, because cool Rush 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: fans really turned up the effort to bring the original 10 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: formula back. One guy even started an online petition and 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: Degree listened. They admitted they fed up. They're bringing back 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: the original cool Rush scent. They're bringing it back and 13 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: it's exactly how you remember it, cool, crisp and fresh. 14 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for 15 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: under four dollars. There's a reason that's been the number 16 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 2: one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the 17 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: same reason why people were not happy when it changed. 18 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: So if you've never tried it, it might be a 19 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: good time to see what the fuss is about. Head 20 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: to your local Walmart, Target and try the og degree 21 00:00:51,560 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: cool Rush for yourself. So John Middlecoff, former NFL Scout 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: three and Out podcast, let's talk some NFL schedule stuff, 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: and we'll do a half hour on this. I think 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: it's my first take is so I looked at the 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: Niner schedule and I knew it would be easy, and 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: then I watched the way it was laid out, and 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, if you take out Stafford twice and C. J. 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: Stroud once, this is the weakest schedule in fifteen years. 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons had this schedule back in no, I 30 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: think it was twenty fifteen. It'd be ten years. So 31 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: it's the weakest schedule in a decade. And I would 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: I'll throw this at you. I said, if I was 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: John Lynch and looked at the schedule, I would sign 34 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: Brock Purtty now because this schedule screams twelve and five, 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: thirteen and four, and right now he's coming off losing season. 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: So if you have any leverage, could I say, John, 37 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: it's the next month to two. 38 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 4: I mean, I think his we obviously spent so much 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 4: time talking about this. His whole thing is comparing himself 41 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: to other guys, and these recent contracts of guys like 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: Jordan Love who played eight games and got one hundred 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 4: and seventy five million, Tua who got one hundred and 44 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: sixty million. Trevor Lawrence who got two hundred million dollars. Like, 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 4: he does have a leg to stand on, given that 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: he's played well and you know, been a part of 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 4: a team that was in a Super Bowl. But my 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 4: issue is like that money's coming, Like he's getting the contract. 49 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: We don't know exactly one hundred and fifty million, one 50 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: hundred and eighty million, one hundred and thirty million. I'm 51 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 4: sure that's you pay him. Let's just say conservatively fifty 52 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 4: million dollars a year. Kyle is one of the highest 53 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 4: paid coaches at fifteen to eighteen million dollars a year. 54 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: If I'm paying my head coach and my quarterback close 55 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 4: to seventy million dollars a year at minimum, I don't 56 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 4: care who else is on the team because this roster 57 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 4: is not as good as it was a couple of 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 4: years ago. I need double digit wins. I mean, we've 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: seen it with the with the Rams last couple of years, 60 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 4: they found a way as they retooled. I would say 61 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 4: anything less than double digit wins. I have supported Kyle 62 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: thinking like, oh he's on the hot seat. That was 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 4: insane talk. But there is a contingent of the those 64 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 4: humans that exist over You know, Kyle can rub some 65 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 4: people the wrong way. I think he's a pretty elite coach. 66 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: He's proven that, but this is a big year for 67 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 4: him to Again, I don't need twelve thirteen wins. I 68 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: don't think the roster is quite as good. But if 69 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 4: the Ravens or the Bills or the Chiefs had this schedule, 70 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 4: we'd be talking like, can they run the table? Ten 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 4: wins minimum? I think is more than fair, and I 72 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: think that is going to be the expectation or things 73 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 4: have gone really really sour. 74 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I said that if you gave Stafford Burrow, not 75 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: Burrow because Cincinnati I don't trust their front office and ownership. 76 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: But if you gave Josh Allen, Lamar Mahomes and I 77 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: think Stafford and McVeigh this, we would be talking about 78 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen wins. I mean even Vegas would probably 79 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: put the over under at twelve to twelve and a half. So, 80 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: you know, I think one of the things that bothered 81 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: me John, I've said this, and this is my interpretation. 82 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: I could tell when Bill Belichick took over drafting with 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: the Patriots, he was drafting players who had plug immediate holes, 84 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: often reaching for people. General managers gen to have a 85 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: tend to have a a little bit of a longer vision. 86 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: I can tell when Pete Carolyn Seattle, I could tell 87 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: they were reaching on some players, and I'm like, that's 88 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: not John Snyder. Last couple of drafts when John's controlled 89 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 2: them have been excellent. I do feel like the last 90 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: couple of years, I felt like Kyle's had a lot 91 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: of say in drafting. I find their drafts for the moment, 92 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: not for the future. I Ricky Pierre Saliz like, you've 93 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: got Jennings and Deebo and Ayuk and Kittle and McCaffrey. 94 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: You've got enough pass catchers. That felt like a coach 95 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: who wanted a little you know, wanted to replace Debo. 96 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: That's what I see. I tend to be able to say, okay, 97 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: I can tell that to coach's draft or a coach 98 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: is putting pressure. I didn't like the Niners draft. I 99 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: thought they didn't attack the offensive line, which is a 100 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: huge issue. What did you view of their draft? 101 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: I've come to the expectations now Kyle's admitted, like, we 102 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 4: don't value offensive lineman unless we think you're like an 103 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 4: all time great. We'll pick a skill guy. We're definitely 104 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: a defensive lineman, which I'm four. But they just don't 105 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: draft offensive lineman, especially tackles. He's not going to draft 106 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: to tackle in the third round, which I think is insane. 107 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 4: I had a college scouting director because I was talking 108 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: a lot about this too during and before the draft. 109 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: How you know different personnel departments work, He says, you 110 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 4: can always tell when the coach is heavily involved because 111 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 4: they treat the draft. You can tell they're looking at 112 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 4: the depth chart. You know, scouts in front offices aren't 113 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: consumed with the depth chart because the depth chart, to 114 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 4: Kyle is Week one against Seattle. You know, John Lynch 115 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 4: and these like Michael Williams is a real pick, right, 116 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: the kid from Florigia. That's a big picture pick that 117 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: any team takes. That's not the depth chart. Whether you 118 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: had ten defensive ends or one, you have no problem 119 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 4: picking him. But like you said, Ricky Piersall, it's like, well, 120 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 4: you know this IU thing's going sour. We're already turning 121 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 4: on Deebo. Might we might trade him right now or 122 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: over the next year. That's a depth chart move. And 123 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 4: I think that's where you get into trouble. You know, 124 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: there's a balance of need and big picture, but coaches 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: are just oh, Kyle's Kyle's not worried about twenty twenty seven. 126 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: He's worried about this year trying to win eleven games 127 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 4: and be in the playoffs. And I don't blame him, 128 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: but that's why there's got to be a little separation 129 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 4: between church and state. You know. I look at the 130 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: Eagles have the most powerful GM. Look how they've drafted 131 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: and the coaching staff coach the players. It's gone pretty well. 132 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so. And I also think there are things. 133 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: I think Arizona is going to be a real team. 134 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: I think I think Seattle's roster is really impressive. I 135 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: think the Vikings will miss Sam Darnold. And I think 136 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: the Rams defense, I think it's the best young defense 137 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: in the NFL. So I thought last year was a 138 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: year where Arizona and the Rams over I mean I 139 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: thought the Rams overachieved a little. I thought the Arizona 140 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: wasn't quite there yet with a new coach, and I 141 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 2: thought Seattle with Gino Smith, had limitations at quarterback. I 142 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: think the division's much better. So yeah, I mean, so, 143 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: I just I just don't feel it. The schedules. It's 144 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: a save. I'll tell you that because I. 145 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 4: Do think this though, Colin, if you go, we do agree. 146 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan has faults the Times is one of the 147 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: better coaches in the NFL. 148 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: Yes, listen. 149 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 4: Robert Sola, head coach Jets, not an easy spot, A 150 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 4: little over his head. Most people view him as an 151 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 4: excellent defensive coordinator. I don't know. I don't have the 152 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 4: spreadsheet because it's not public. I would imagine Kyle and 153 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: Robert Sala when you combine the head coach and defensive 154 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 4: coordinator beside like Andy and Spags, that there can't be 155 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: a higher paid combination. This is a coaching league, right 156 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 4: Because you talk a lot about this, the margins are small. 157 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: I think you've got to like your chances. Even if 158 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 4: you've got some now random players on the team that 159 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,119 Speaker 4: their coach, their offensive and defensive coordinator. The guys calling 160 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 4: the place are really good. So I'm a little more 161 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: bullish now we're going to find out pretty quickly, like 162 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: if they've whiffed on some picks. I don't care if 163 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 4: you've got Bill Walsh and Belichick in his prime. You 164 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: can only do this is the NFL, Like you need 165 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: some of these guys to become players. 166 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: So I want to talk about Kansas City. So when 167 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: you have a dynas, every dynasty's got a weak spot. 168 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: Like when New England got into trouble was near the 169 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: end of the second dynasty when they just didn't have 170 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: enough receiver speed, When they couldn't separate. Tom had to 171 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: play perfect, nobody could get open. The famous sideline shot 172 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: of him screaming, somebody get open. That was the hole 173 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: in their dynasty. Outside of the Randy Moss years. You know, 174 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: they weren't electric down the field. It was more tight ends, 175 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: run game, Tom's efficiency, Tom's twenty three for twenty nine. 176 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: They just don't make mistakes. They beat you late. They 177 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: were never electric except the Randy Moss years on the perimeter. 178 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: Kansas City's weakness has been immature wide receivers and offensive 179 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 2: line when they've been blown out, and it's only happened 180 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 2: a couple times, both in Super Bowls. They've had left 181 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: tackle issues or offensive line depth problems. They're just missing 182 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: good players. So I look at this year. Joe Tooney 183 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: was their best offensive lineman. He's not a replaceable. There's 184 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: nobody in the draft close. They're now going left tackle 185 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: for a guy that was a backup in San Francisco. 186 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: This is to me the weakest O line they've had 187 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: entering a season. Can they make a move at the 188 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: trade deadline, certainly possible. But if you go look at 189 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: their first ten games, John, even the bad teams they play, 190 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: the Giants now have Abdul Carter Dexter Lawrence Tibodeau. On 191 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 2: the other side, the Raiders have Max Crosby the Broncos. 192 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: They're better than Broncos led the NFL in sacks. The 193 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: Jaguars have a good defensive front. I'm just mentioning the 194 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: games that look like wins. I looked at Kansas City 195 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: schedule early and I'm like they could have used some 196 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: of those games late, because you know, it takes a 197 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: while to create COH. You don't replace Joe Toney in 198 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: the preseason like you need snaps. I thought Kansas City 199 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: schedule was about as tough as the league deals to 200 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: to a Andy Reid Mahomes pairing. 201 00:09:59,280 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: Well. 202 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 4: I also think he's her on players to play, you know, 203 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 4: games at noon in Kansas City than they have five 204 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 4: of their first eight games at prime time, and they 205 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 4: got to go to Bruzil, which I understand the international, 206 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 4: especially now with streaming the Brazil thing. I don't quite 207 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 4: get Colin going down a CYC. I don't quite understand 208 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: that market. But I'll say this about the Chiefs. Their 209 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 4: first round draft pick would have been a top ten 210 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 4: pick had he not torn his knee. Well that's pretty 211 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 4: big red flag towards knee. But assuming that he can 212 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 4: come back, they did get a very very talented guy 213 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: in Josh Simmons that can play left tackle. Now, whether 214 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 4: he's ready for the start, whether he goes un pop, 215 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 4: time will tell. But that was not just this year, 216 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 4: but over the course of the next several years they 217 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 4: might have found their starting left tackle. The BYU kid 218 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 4: that ultimately got benched and Tooney had to move to 219 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 4: left tackle, I think they plan on moving him to guard. 220 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 4: So Andie Reid has a long history of mix and 221 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: matching and figuring things out. I know you're high on 222 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: the Chargers, and I am too. I'm a Jim Harbaugh homer. 223 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 4: Of course, they take a running back in the first 224 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: round that'll end up being like a fourteen hundred yard 225 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 4: Rusher by a second year restar. But I just can't 226 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 4: and I have been someone and I know these guys personally. 227 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 4: I've bet against them twice down in the last two years, 228 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 4: against the Ravens and the Bills, and that was the playoffs, 229 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 4: and I've been burned. We saw last year. Everyone was 230 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: nitpicking them week in week out. They won every freaking game. 231 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 4: Now the big difference between them and the Patriots is 232 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: Patriots benefited. Their division was pretty terrible, Like this version 233 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: of the Bills team was not even close. Miami was 234 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: a joke, right, So their division, this division's really really hard. 235 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: I mean, Pete Carroll, if he's the worst has the 236 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: worst team in your division, Like that's a problem. But 237 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 4: I think the Chiefs, you know, we throw that the 238 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 4: word culture, I think sometimes gets thrown around two liberally. 239 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: It's real in Kansas City, like they're winning. Understanding, Listen, 240 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: there's gonna be a year when they don't make the 241 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: super Bowl and they get knocked out in the second round. 242 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 4: But it's gonna be hard. You're gonna have to kok 243 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: him out, and I'm picking them to win the division 244 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 4: until they don't. Now, this is clearly I would say 245 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 4: of the last five or six, you know, since the 246 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 4: homes era, gonna be the most difficult. But you know, 247 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 4: come on the Giants week three at Jacksonville, Like I 248 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 4: get it, Sunday night, Monday night, big moment for those 249 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 4: two against Liam Cohen and this Jackson Dart maybe Russell Wilson. 250 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 4: I'm just picking the Chiefs in those games. 251 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: Is there anything that I mean? They have the vikings 252 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: back to back in London. I don't like Minnesota like 253 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: everybody else. I think they're a fourth place team. Was 254 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: there anything about the schedule that jumped out to you? 255 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: I think when you look at I lump Minnesota and 256 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 4: Chicago in the same thing. I got thirty years of history. 257 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 4: Green Bay every year, for the most part is ten 258 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 4: plus wins right right. And the Lions now I think 259 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 4: have established themselves. What happens in the playoffs, who knows, 260 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: but they're going to be a double digit win team. 261 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 4: When you look at the Bears and you look at 262 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 4: Minnesota because of the divisions that they drew this year 263 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: in the rotation, it's hard and the pressure. Listen, this 264 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: Caleb thing, I'm sure we'll talk about it. A lot 265 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 4: of pressure on him, a lot of pressure on bears, 266 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 4: a lot of pressure on McCarthy, and the pressure is 267 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 4: not like on DJ Moore or Justin Jefferson. It's squarely 268 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: on the quarterback. And these games, like you said, you open, 269 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 4: you open your your NFL career at Chicago, Like that's 270 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: just that's tough. And hell, you could argue the same 271 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: thing on the flip side about at Caleb Williams, your 272 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 4: first game with his new coach Monday night for everyone watching, 273 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 4: Like these are just intense environments on these two quarterbacks. Now, 274 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: Caleb has some seasoning like he JG does not in 275 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 4: terms of ever played a regular season game. But I 276 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: think those two schedules for those two guys. Not every 277 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: team in this division can win ten plus games. One 278 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 4: of these teams is gonna go eight or nine or 279 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: worse right, it's gonna be one of those two teams. 280 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: I don't know which one. Like I know Kevin O'Connell 281 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 4: can be a head coach. I love the Vikings roster, 282 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 4: but man, this guy's never started a regular season game. 283 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 4: If you told me right now he's a top fifteen quarterback, 284 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 4: I'd be like, they'll win ten or eleven games, no problem. 285 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: But if you tell me it's rocky. I don't care 286 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 4: how you could have ten justin Jefferson's If your quarterback 287 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: plays overwhelmed, it's hard. I mean we see it every year. 288 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 4: Good teams and the quarterback plays. 289 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: Poor well, And the Packers drafted a first round round 290 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: wide receiver. The Lions are stacked offensively. The Bears has 291 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: been a fortune on their offensive line. JJ McCarthy's going 292 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: to have to throw the ball thirty five times. This 293 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: is not a defensive division. This is not the AFC North, 294 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: this is the NFC North, and it is going to 295 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: be a track meet. And so that's my question with 296 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. I would feel differently if you were in 297 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: a different division. But Detroit is stacked offensively with the 298 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: best of line in the league. You can say what 299 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: you want about Ben Johnson is going to be better 300 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: with Caleb Williams than Matti. Everflus and Dolmen and Toney 301 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: changed the offensive line, and then and then you know, 302 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: Green Bay's Green Bay. They went and got another wider receiver, 303 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: which tells you we're going to make this Jordan love 304 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: thing work. And it wasn't terrible last year. There was 305 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: some bumps. So my thing is Karthi, who never threw 306 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: the ball at Michigan, is going to be asked to 307 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: throw the ball forty times a game a lot because 308 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: either they'll be trailing or they'll be in shootouts. This 309 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: is going to be a shootout division. So I just 310 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: don't love them with that is the marquee of the movie. 311 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 4: But do you feel comfortable. I mean, listen, we have 312 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 4: a strong recent history of these young offensive coordinators hitting 313 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 4: the ground, running and being stars. Some of them get 314 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: overwhelmed historically in the league, like Ben Johnson. It is 315 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 4: this is not an easy first job, right, It's like 316 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: solid with the Jets. A lot of people are watching. 317 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 4: There's a ton of hype the Caleb stuff is already 318 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 4: even though it's weird, right, everything we're talking about today 319 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 4: in this article is based on something eighteen months ago. 320 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 4: It's not like he just said this yesterday. But still, 321 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: I mean, this is something that carries with you. I 322 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: think there's a ton of pressure on him because I 323 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: would say the same thing about Caleb, like he's just 324 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: gonna outduel the Laflor's offense and the Lions group. I 325 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: mean it's gonna be hard, Like he's gonna get in 326 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 4: some shootouts. You know, he kind of freelanced now, he's comfortable, 327 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 4: he has a history, he is used to. I've been 328 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: in shootouts. I can play like that. JJ was not. 329 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 4: I mean JJ was on a team that I mean 330 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 4: was the big Ohio State is always built like an 331 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 4: SEC team, but Hardball built that thing like an SEC 332 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 4: team with unlimited NFL players where they hand the ball 333 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: off and they play defense. So yeah, that's right, one 334 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: of those two teams. I got to give it a 335 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: little more time. But it's just not going to go 336 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: as well as the hype because the expectations. I would say, 337 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 4: for I mean for Minnesota, they have a what do 338 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 4: you think a top six to seven roster in the 339 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 4: NFL minus the quarterback. I mean they got one of 340 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 4: the better teams in the NFL top to bomb. And 341 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 4: I say the Bears have a pretty damn good roster too. 342 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: Oh. I totally think I think Chicago's offensive you go 343 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: line tight end receivers and Ben Johnson I just don't see, 344 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, go look at Hackett to Sean Payton. 345 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: It was a touchdown to eight points a game. And 346 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: I think eber Flews to Ben Johnson is probably somewhere 347 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: between a field goal six points a game. 348 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 4: But here's the thing, though, Colin's and this is what 349 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 4: I get back to with the coordinator Ben with Detroit, 350 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: who was just became like Kyle Shanahan or mcpayh or whoever. 351 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 4: All he had to worry about was the place right 352 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 4: now on Monday. What happens when your backup safety got 353 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 4: a dui on Tuesday? Hey, this guy turns out he 354 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 4: shattered his ankle. Like you have all this other stuff coming. 355 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: You can't just sit there and scheme plays NonStop, especially 356 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 4: the first time head coach, and then when the game's 357 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 4: going on, you got to manage the cl You got 358 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: a lot going on for the first time ever. It's 359 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 4: just a tougher transition. And that's where Kevin O'Connell to me, 360 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 4: has a big advantage. He is used to just being 361 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 4: the play caller, slash the boss. Like there is a 362 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 4: learning If you told me, hey, John, you not only 363 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: need to get all the content and record a podcast, 364 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 4: we now need you to run the sales and the 365 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 4: graphics and do some cuts you need to do it 366 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 4: be it'd be a curve for a couple months of 367 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 4: me figuring out how to manage everything right. So that's 368 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 4: I'm always just hesitant. And when it comes to guys 369 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 4: first time head coaches, like think how much easier Pete Carroll. 370 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 4: He's sitting in that desk, he's very comfortable in telling 371 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: who what to do when like he's just done it before. 372 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: So that's that's the only thing. And I'm not anti 373 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 4: Ben Johnson. I mean what he did the last couple 374 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 4: of years was awesome. It is just a lot harder 375 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 4: taking on a lot more responsibility and trying to maintain 376 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 4: your boy genius kind of narrative the way everyone talks 377 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 4: about him. 378 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: Like the NBA eighty two game grind is done.

And first of all, I you know, 416 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: once they you know, I didn't want to see Toronto 417 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: win it. I'm sorry. I want Cooper Flag to be here. 418 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: I didn't want to see New Orleans, Washington, Charlotte. You know, 419 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: after watching Shooting Guards that documentary, I can't root for 420 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: the Wizards ever. Again. I know it's a different group. 421 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: I was so disgusted by it. But I said earlier 422 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 2: today on FS one, I said, if San Antonio wins 423 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: Stefan Castle wemby Cooper Flag, I said, oh, poor Oklahoma City. 424 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: They've done everything right. They had Westbrook, Durant Harden couldn't win. 425 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 2: Now they're going to have this SGA Holmegrid Roster and 426 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: they got this train for the next decade. But it's 427 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks. You know, it makes me think of this. Listen. 428 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 2: I thought the trade Luca to the Lakers was terrible, 429 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: but I said, before the new CBA, he qualified Luca 430 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 2: for seventy large, seventy million a year. And I was 431 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: talking to one of my only friends that ever deals 432 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: with billionaires. He's in venture capital, and he said, listen, man, 433 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: he said, people are so rich now thirty millions a 434 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: rounding air, but even for a billionaire, seventy five million 435 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: dollars for a basketball player, he better play defense, he 436 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 2: better be in shape, he better be healthy. He said, 437 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 2: they're not paying that to Luca. He goes, and that 438 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: was his whole theory. He goes. The pressure on Nico. 439 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: Some of it was like, okay, seventy five millions, he's 440 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 2: missed the last two camps. So whether you liked it 441 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 2: or not, I did think it was worthy of discussion. 442 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 2: They just didn't get enough out of it. Three firsts Ad, 443 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves and another pick. It's like, okay, now we 444 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: can sleep on it. But here's what's funny, Jason timp Essentially, 445 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: instead of three hundred million, you get the best domestic prospect. 446 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 2: Maybe since in ten years since ad. 447 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 4: Since a is it not? 448 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: No? 449 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 2: Did the basketball gods not grant them the greatest gift ever? 450 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 3: You know, I'm not mister the NBA is rigged. I'm 451 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 3: not that guy. But if you were that guy, this 452 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: would be the day to make the case, because, in 453 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 3: addition to the Dallas piece, which we'll get to in 454 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: just a second, I think that the league has now 455 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 3: just tied up San Antonio for the easiest Yannis trade 456 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: that you could possibly imagine. And we can get into 457 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: that in a second, but the the Dallas front is 458 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 3: super fascinating because Cooper Flag, in many ways is everything 459 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: that Luca isn't in the sense that he's got this 460 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: like incredible work ethic, proven, like details oriented, freakish competitor. 461 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 3: But what he doesn't have is like just whatever you 462 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: want to call that magic quality Luca has, which just 463 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 3: brings that top side offensively that very few players in 464 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: NBA history have reached by his age, and Cooper Flag 465 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 3: has a little bit of that sort of weakness in 466 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 3: the sense that he doesn't have a singular point of 467 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 3: his game that you can point to where it's like, oh, 468 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 3: he is like an A plus plus plus athlete or 469 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: he is a A plus plus plus shooter or anything 470 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: like that. But he's just so versatile down the line 471 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: that he brings an element that Luka Doncic didn't bring. 472 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: He's such a natural fit next to Anthony Davis, which 473 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 3: I really like. There's some big picture questions with Dallas's 474 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 3: roster now with PJ. Washington, like how does he fit 475 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: into this mix? I think, on one hand, I'm just 476 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 3: so thrilled that Cooper didn't go to a team that 477 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: was trying to be bad. I think that that's one 478 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 3: of the nice kind of upsides of this is that 479 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 3: it prevents that sort of mediocrity being rewarded. And then 480 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 3: on the Yanni's front with san Antonio, what I find 481 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 3: super fascinating is there are these three three teams that 482 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 3: are obviously teed up to be able to go get Yannis, 483 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 3: and that's Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Houston, and Yannis 484 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: going to Oklahoma City would be no fun, Like, that's 485 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 3: no fun. They're just gonna kill everybody like that, that's 486 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: literally no fun. And then Houston it's kind of an 487 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: interesting fit, but Houston is like athletic and can't shoot, 488 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 3: So they seem to make the perfect sense for a 489 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 3: KD team, you know what I mean. And so like, 490 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 3: ideally Yanni's going to San Antonio makes the most sense. 491 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 3: They have the clear pieces to be able to offer 492 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: in terms of like they can give Milwaukee both picks 493 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: and like a really intriguing young prospect like Stefan Castle 494 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 3: and a specific pick in this upcoming draft, the number 495 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 3: two overall pick where they could hope to get a 496 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: super high level guard to help in the future. And 497 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 3: so with that being the case, like, I think this 498 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 3: has broken out just about perfectly for what the league 499 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 3: would probably like to see. 500 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think Also, I don't think i'd mess. 501 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: The only thing I thought I thought san Antonio won 502 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: the lottery was Stefan Castle, Wemby and Cooper Flag. I 503 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 2: thought Oklahoma City would be like, Okay, all right, we're 504 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: gonna move home Groun and seven picks and lou Dort 505 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: for Giannis, Like, I'm sorry, but this is going to 506 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: be a freight train for eight years in San Antonio. 507 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 2: So I was saying, if you're Oklahoma City, you were 508 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 2: rooting against San Antonio, they may not be you next year. 509 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: But that was scary. I wouldn't have minded Philadelphia winning, 510 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 2: but I feel like it would have been almost unfair 511 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: because they've really I mean, let's be honest, they held 512 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: on to em Bed too long. They blamed everybody except 513 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: MBID for all their problems. It's like, that's not fair. 514 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 2: But I also think as a sportscaster, when I look 515 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: at this move for Dallas, is that I said this 516 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: to a friend the other day, I said, you know, 517 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: the best trade partner for Dallas. They need a play initiator. 518 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 2: They need Austin Reeves, and the Lakers need size, and 519 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: Dallas has a really deep front line. I said, they're 520 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 2: not going to make that move. Now I think to myself, well, 521 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: you know, I think what Dallas needs is somebody like 522 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: Cooper Flag, who let's just say he's Jason Tatum. I 523 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: still think. I don't think Kyrie is going to play 524 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: next year, not until at least the trading deadline. So 525 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: it's Dallas has some extracise to play with. But good God, 526 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: look at this, Jason. The West is already better. Dallas 527 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: now gets Cooper Flag, san Antonio gets the second best players, 528 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: the Rutgers kid everybody loves I mean, I keep looking 529 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: at this thing. I was talking to Rachel Nichols today. 530 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 2: The West is just going to get better and y honest, 531 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 2: Milwaukee's not trading him in the East, They're trading him west. 532 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's that's what I said about Milwaukee today 533 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: and the honest trait. Take out Boston if you go 534 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 2: and get a chet Home Grin and multiple picks, or 535 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 2: go to Houston get Sheng Goon, Jalen Green, six picks 536 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: and Jabari Smith. I'm throwing names out outside of Boston, 537 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: You're not that far away from being the number two 538 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: team in the East. In the West, you could not 539 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: give up a Yanis. It would be decimating Portland. You know, 540 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: they move off Dame. They have all this talent. It's 541 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 2: they're irrelevant. If you had to guess Yannis, who's the 542 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: best fit, and I agree with you, Houston needs a shooter. 543 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 2: Yannis probably isn't the perfect fit. 544 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 3: Yeah. The thing that would be really nice with Yannis 545 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: as a frontline partner with Victor wembin Yama is their 546 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 3: games compliment each other on a bunch of specific levels. 547 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 3: So for instance, Victor Wembinyama is blossoming as this like 548 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 3: three point centric center, and he very clearly likes to 549 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 3: take that shot. It's something he hunts when he's out there. 550 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 3: So there's kind of like a spacing dynamic to where 551 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 3: you don't want to have two centers basically playing with 552 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 3: each other that both want to work right by the basket, 553 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 3: and so there's kind of a natural fit there. But 554 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 3: the second piece of it is Wemby has some vulnerability 555 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: to size and strength and Giannis does not, and so 556 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: anchoring anchoring Wemby with a six' eleven forward that is 557 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 3: one of the most physically dominant forwards of his era 558 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 3: is kind of a perfect natural fit. There and they 559 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 3: already have with the Darn fox piece the ball handling, 560 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 3: piece so you can actually see this like this like 561 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 3: rim protection. Center giannis has always played better next to 562 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 3: a center when they when The bucks used to play 563 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: him at, center they used to have issues because he's 564 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 3: not as good at defending pick and roll as he 565 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 3: is is like kind of a traditional help side, defender 566 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: and So wemby can defend pick and, Roll giannis can 567 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: be their low man help side. Defender Daron fox is 568 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 3: your point of attack. Guard it just has such a 569 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: natural fit. There and one of the things that was 570 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: going to get tricky with San. Antonio and this is 571 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: this is where that second pick is super. Interesting you 572 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 3: get to the question where you're, like, man are we 573 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: going to have to give Up Stefan castle And devin 574 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: vessel to make this? Happen this the number two pick 575 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: is probably going to Be Dylan, harper and he's very 576 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 3: interesting guard out Of rutgers that has sigh and has 577 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 3: some athleticism and can and really get to the. Basket 578 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 3: Dylan harper gives you another piece to include in a 579 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: deal like, that to maybe keep A, castle or to 580 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: maybe keep A Devin. Vasselle Devin vesselle is kind of 581 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 3: an off ball shooter, archetype so he might be the 582 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: perfect guy to. Keep he's also older and a little 583 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 3: bit closer to being ready to contribute in a serious, 584 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 3: context and so it kind of just feels like the 585 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: stars are aligning in that. Way If I'm, HOUSTON i 586 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 3: want to bargain serious For, Giannis BUT kd is just 587 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 3: such a nice backup plan for them to go to 588 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 3: that just fits so nicely. There And i'm so glad 589 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 3: you mentioned The Austin Reeves dallas piece because that deal 590 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 3: will never happen after what. Happened if The, dallas if 591 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 3: The masks do another deal with The, lakers their fans might. 592 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 3: Revolt but there's such like an obvious Like, Gafford austin 593 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: reeves like there's no quest something LIKE i think The 594 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: lakers would need to get more BECAUSE i Think austin's 595 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 3: a better player Than. Gafford but there is like a 596 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 3: there's a version of that deal that could put together 597 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 3: where they where they get some athleticism, back and it 598 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: makes some. Sense and it's just a question of whether 599 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: or not that type of partnership would ever work. Out 600 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: the other group THAT i look at IF i was 601 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 3: The lakers With, austin is look At brooklyn and see 602 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 3: if they can't get like A Nick claxton or something 603 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 3: like that and that type of. 604 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: Deal, yeah It's, OH i loved it so much. Tonight 605 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: it just cracked me. Up Dallas San antonio seventy six 606 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: ers get the third choice And. CHARLOTTE i will, say 607 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: there's one THING i do think that really works in 608 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: the NBA's. Favor when you see a lot of THESE 609 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: G league guys Like Jalen green and you kind of 610 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: put your arms up in the air as AN nba 611 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: commissioner and go. WOW a lot of these guys who are, 612 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 2: flourishing these young guys went to college or they're, international 613 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 2: which their academy systems better than our current kind OF 614 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 2: G league. System and it's not that people will push 615 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: back on THE G, league but WITH nil money at 616 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 2: the top ten program is now, comparable you, know relative 617 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: to THE ni element or to THE G league. MONEY 618 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 2: i do think the domestic product the draft is going 619 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: to become less international at the top and more, domestic 620 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: or at least it won't look like last. YEAR i 621 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: mean this year is a great. Example it's very domestic, 622 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: product and SO i think THAT'S i think that really. 623 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: Matters i've said this for. YEARS i understood THE G 624 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: league pre, nil But i've said this About Jalen. Green 625 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 2: he has no defined offensive. Game even if you spend 626 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,959 Speaker 2: a year in college with a with A Dan hurley 627 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: or A Bill self or A tom is just a 628 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: year of hard coaching college campus fundamentals. MATURING i think 629 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: it really. Matters, also playing In, march playing on, television 630 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: playing in a big ten OR sec, environment whether it's real, 631 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 2: pressure bad, game the students give you the side, eye 632 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: like that's real pressure for eighteen nineteen year. OLD i, 633 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: Mean Cooper, flag you play At, duke you have fifteen 634 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: games On MADDY, tv and then you Have. March SO 635 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: i do think college basketball has been a bit marginalized 636 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: by the. LEAGUE i got it pre, nil but now 637 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: IF i was a, DAD i would take a little 638 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: less and go with a marketing advantage Of, Kansas, Syracuse. 639 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 2: Yukon would you? 640 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,239 Speaker 3: NOT i think you're dead on with, This. Colin there 641 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: is a thing that happens in THE G league where 642 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: they prepare you for the pro game in a certain, 643 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 3: way in the sense that they'll put you in some 644 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 3: nbaesque roles where you're either running tie ball, screens or 645 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: you're behaving as the role man, screener or you're attacking 646 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 3: closeouts on the week, side DIFFERENT nba defensive.
