31
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down, position by position the Commander's Bears

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: upcoming Thursday night. Came cannot wait totally kidding. We're not

33
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna do that. You'd have to pay me a lot

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: of money to even begin to break down one position

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: for either team who cares, but especially with the Bears.

36
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: Here's what we'll do. We're going heavy mail bag at

37
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: John middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms. I'm

38
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: moving these next couple of days, so I had to

39
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: bang this out early Tuesday morning. If you're listening to

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: this on Wednesday, I'm probably dripping and sweat carrying boxes,

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: carrying stuff that is not mine that she said has

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: to go to the house. So I said, okay, let's

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: move it in. And that's what I will be doing.

44
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: We will be back on Friday with reaction to Bear's

45
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: commanders as well as Stucky making some bets. My man's hot.

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,600

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: code john S Dive in the mailbag. Okay, let's start

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: with Cole. Think. Think Josh McDaniel's will be gone before

71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: the end of the season if he continues to make

72
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: terrible decisions. Well, to me, the first terrible decision is

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: when they gave Jimmy Garoppolo a lot of money. I mean,

74
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: he's a guy who constantly gets injured. He's a guy

75
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that is just it's hard to rely on, and the

76
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers have seen it firsthand. He's been hurt

77
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: the last several years. Last year obviously broke his foot,

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: He's torn his acl before when he was with the Patriots,

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: he hurt his shoulder when Tom Brady was suspended. To remember,

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: he was supposed to start all four games, made it

81
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: through about one and a half. So I think when

82
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: you get into business with Jimmy Garoppolo, when you are

83
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: in must win mode, I mean this team to move

84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: from Oakland, which I don't blame them, I really don't.

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: That place is a dump. Every team has left in

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: a five year span. The Warriors went across the Bridge,

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders went to Vegas, and the A's will surely

88
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: be gone. They cannot survive there. So it's not a

89
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: place that any professional team will do business. But the

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: moment you go to Vegas a brightlight lights place, a

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: place full of stars. Like, let's face it, they got

92
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: the Knights, Stanley Cup champs, Mark Davis, owner of the Aces,

93
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: the WNBA team just winning titles left and right. This

94
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: team is an embarrassment. There's no way around it. I'm

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: getting I've been called a Raider hater for a long time,

96
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: but I can't tell you I know a lot of

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: season ticket holders, at least people from Oakland when they

98
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: used to play there. Did I get constant text and DMS, like,

99
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Will they fire him? Now? I

100
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I really don't. I would have

101
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: hired Jim Harbaugh two years ago. Now. I like the

102
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels higher. I'm not gonna lie. I thought he

103
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: would be much more successful than he's been. But this

104
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: just the wheels keeps spinning. Let's face it, the best

105
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: coach they've had over the last decade by a mile

106
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: is Jack del Real, and the second best coach was

107
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the interim Rich Passacia. So this is just it's not

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: gonna work. And they got star players. I've said it

109
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: before and I'll keep saying it that they should entertain

110
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: trading Max Crosby. Blow the thing up, go nuclear dynamite

111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: that bitch, and trade Max Crosby for like two ones.

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams went for two ones into two. This is

113
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: a young pass rusher, high character guy, I mean, team captain,

114
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: just beloved around the NFL, one of the hardest players

115
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Nuke this thing, That's what I do.

116
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I know you have been against having two games on

117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, but last night's horrible Seahawks Giants game.

118
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Do you still stand by your opinion? Having two games

119
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: gives us a backup Monday night football game, since it

120
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: seems like Sunday night football is the top choice for

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, listen, you're gonna get bad games. There's

122
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: no way to avoid it. Not every primetime game Thursday night,

123
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: Sunday night, or Monday night is gonna be some historic

124
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: must watch event. That's not the way sports work, you know.

125
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: I know everyone makes fun of the NFL being scripted.

126
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: It's not, so yeah, you gotta deal with it. Like, yeah,

127
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: it was kind of boring. And if that game was

128
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning, as I said, none of us would

129
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: have watched unless you're a Giants or Seattle fan. But

130
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: let's welcome to Monday night football, like in the history

131
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: of my life for every epic, legendary game. But a

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: lot of stinkers. But I don't. I don't need two games,

133
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: especially when they're not you know, they're staggered an hour apart,

134
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: so there's carryover. I'm not saying, I'm right. Clearly they

135
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: know what they're doing and it's probably only gonna happen

136
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: more often. But not my thing. Not my thing. Listening

137
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: right now, Congrats on the move. Why are people acting

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: like the Eagles are zero and four, especially our own

139
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: fans and media. I understand we have not looked our

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: best and expectations are through the roof. But wouldn't every

141
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: other team killed to be four and oh? Playing their

142
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: b minus ball Brown has been a freak, and we

143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: run the ball better than everyone else. Curious on your thoughts.

144
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: I think it's all expectations, you know. I think you're

145
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of viewed. I think the Chiefs definitely are viewed

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: like this, like a college football team like Ohio State,

147
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: like Alabama, like Georgia, just because you win, like you're

148
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: expected to win your big favorites in a lot of

149
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: these games, and when you win ugly, you know, people

150
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: are critical. I would say that's the good. That's a

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: great place to be when people are being critical of wins.

152
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Think what the Bears or the Raiders would do for

153
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: an ugly win. I mean, can you imagine what the

154
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: Panthers would do for the Falcons. So that's part of

155
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: being like listen, people look at Apple differently than they

156
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: do a Mom and pop chop, right you. I don't

157
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: care who you are in any industry. When you're viewed

158
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: as the top dog, as a behemoth you know in sports,

159
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: as one of the best teams. Just because you win

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean people aren't gonna be critical because the expectations

161
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: are so high. I think it's really just that simple,

162
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: which you're one hundred percent right. You wouldn't trade four

163
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: to zero to look fantastic for three and one, Like

164
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have three victories in blowout fashion, but no

165
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: one that's the Niners and the Eagles would not trade.

166
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: Obviously the Niners have played better, and part of it

167
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: is that, right, I think you and the Niners equals

168
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: and the Niners right now. But you don't win a

169
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and you, I mean, obviously you don't win

170
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: the NFC or you don't win a playoff game in September.

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to say that it's gonna

172
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: come down to those two teams. Listening to do the

173
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Tuesday podcast and thought of something else when you were

174
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: talking about Bryce Young. I'm a quarterback and I'm five eight,

175
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: and let me tell you, when you can't see shit

176
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: behind the line, you can't see a damn thing. My

177
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: linemen are not even six or five. Also, as a

178
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: tiny dude who gets hit by people way bigger than me.

179
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: It's a different experience than a quarterback, a bigger quarterback

180
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: would have when a D lineman hits a guy like

181
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: me or Bryce, your body gets completely engulfed and there's

182
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: a much higher chance for injury than a bigger guy

183
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: than a D lineman might roll off of. My main

184
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: point is when the fuck or NFL GM is gonna

185
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: realize these tiny guys don't work in the pros, stop

186
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: overthinking it. Two of us, Herbert, Bryce, ver CJ. I

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: think we got a little over zealous on the tiny dudes.

188
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: And I I can't pretend that I didn't like Bryce

189
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: because I did. Part of it was I watched him

190
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with Georgia and get molly wopped

191
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: in that National Championship game and kept getting up. Now,

192
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: you can't do that over and over, you know, if

193
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: you've ever met and listen, I was lucky enough to

194
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: be around some of these guys when I worked in

195
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: the league. You know. Just I remember we were playing

196
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Brett Farv on a Monday night football when I was

197
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, and he was out and the game

198
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: was actually pushed to Tuesday. There was some crazy storm

199
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: and Farv came to meet Andy Reid. I remember seeing

200
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I was like, God, this guy's I remember being a

201
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: little starstruck, but I remember thinking, like, god, he's big,

202
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: he's tall. You know, you meet Troy Aikman, you meet

203
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers or the Mannings. I remember at this Fox

204
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: party years ago that I got invited to through Colin

205
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: in Laguna Beach. Carson Palmer was there, and you know,

206
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: I'm on five ten a buck eighty. I remember looking

207
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: up and thinking, this guy is gigantic. He is massive.

208
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning Tom Brady, So I hear you. I would

209
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: always lean big. It doesn't mean the jose Al two

210
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Vays can't make some plays, but historically the Brady's in

211
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: the Mannings. Even Rogers is a thicker guy. So I

212
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: hear you. But that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

213
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: Longtime listener found you by the way of some Niner content.

214
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: My question is why doesn't Kyle address the backup running

215
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: back situation. Mitchell can't stay healthy ever, and he doesn't

216
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: seem to trust Jordan Mason. Just a concerned fan that

217
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: the potential MVP McCaffrey is gonna be wore the hell

218
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: out by the times the playoff comes. Yeah, I mean

219
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: it's just he is not you know. I think in basketball,

220
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: quiet some comments yesterday about load management, it's like, give

221
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: me a break, bro, You take off every other game.

222
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: No one's talking about years ago. It's now, you know.

223
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: You just take off games whenever you feel like it.

224
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: It's awful business and you're being paid to play. And

225
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: in football, guys, you can never be shocked when a

226
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: guy plays injured because the games are fun. I mean

227
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: that's what everyone, like, every football player wants to play

228
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: in the games. They don't want to study all night,

229
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: they don't want to work out, but you have to

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: do that just to get to the games. And the

231
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: games are the fun part. And I think when you

232
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: look at you know, Kyle, he treats McCaffrey like an

233
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: NBA coach treated a star in the nineties. Now it's like, oh,

234
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: he's only got to play sixty games and the NBA's

235
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: freaking out about it. But I would take a little

236
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: different tactic. I would be a little more careful with him,

237
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: like why is he getting carries late in the game

238
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: against Arizona, But Jordan Mason's fine. Just use him, you

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: use you drafted ty Davis Price from LSU last year

240
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: high in the in the on the second day of

241
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: the draft. So just use some other bodies to get

242
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: some carries, Like these guys are also talented, McCaffrey. It's

243
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: one thing to get him touchdowns in the red zone,

244
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: but you're up twenty points in the second half, Like,

245
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: give another guy a serious. This isn't nineteen eighty one

246
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: just giving Walter Payton every single carry. So but that's

247
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: not the way he operates. It's not Kyle's old school

248
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: that way, and he freaking is addicted to Christian McCaffrey addicted.

249
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: Who do you think right now is the coach of

250
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: the year? Selfishly curious because I took Shanahan thinking was

251
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: if he can win twelve games and make another deep

252
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: playoff run with mister irrelevant, he'd be a shoeing feels

253
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: like I fumbled the bet, though, because people would rather

254
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: talk and vote for McDaniel. Campbell. Steichen has Kyle's ship

255
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: sailed on the Coach of the Year award. Well, he

256
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: was thirteen and five last year, thirteen and four last year,

257
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: so his bar talked speaking about the Eagles, and then

258
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, people being critical of him. The bar is

259
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: really really high. So if he wins thirteen games, you'd

260
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: be like, well, he won thirteen games last year. I

261
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: think he'd have to go like sixteen and one. And

262
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: to me, if Dan Campbell and the Lions go twelve

263
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: and what would it be twelve and twelve and five? Yeah,

264
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: twelve and five. It's hard to add up to seventeen.

265
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: You'd be hard for us to not give Dan Campbell

266
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: the award. McDaniel would probably have to win the division

267
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: because he did make a wild card last year. So

268
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: just because he if the Bills win the division, he's

269
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: the you know, the fifth seed. I don't think he'd

270
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: get it. I would say Dan Campbell right now and

271
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: just google their schedule, google their schedule. If you beat

272
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and who they just beat the Packers in Lambeau.

273
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: I think he's if Jared gob stays healthy, I don't

274
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: see how they don't get to twelve. Now, you just

275
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: need Kyle beats the Cowboys, he beats the Eagles, they're

276
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: sixteen and one. He definitely have a shot. George, my

277
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: question is about the quarterback position. How complicated is it

278
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: to play the position. Do quarterbacks really have to know

279
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: hundreds of plays with random names off the top of

280
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: their heads and recall them all the drop of a hat.

281
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they are one of the few sportsmen

282
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: who actually justify their enormous salaries given how much they

283
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: are required to remember on the field. It's not about

284
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: the knowledge though, why they're paid. It's just if you

285
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: are a good player, your team wins, and that's how

286
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: the league builds their television revenue off successful teams. So

287
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: you're the guy leading a lot. You know a lot

288
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: of the revenue, but from put them in a vacuum. Yes,

289
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: it's very, very difficult. Not only do you have to

290
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: remember the plays, there are variations off every play, Like

291
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: at the highest level of the NFL, let's just pick

292
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: a number. The Chiefs have fifty plays that they run

293
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: different variations of the majority of the season. On top

294
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you install and make up on

295
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: a weekly basis that is all kind of based off

296
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: things you already do. Then there are variations off those plays.

297
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Given what you see when you get to the line

298
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, hot routes a player kind of realizing you

299
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: have a connection with the player. Clearly, Kelsey and mahomes

300
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: are great examples of that. If they blitz, if they

301
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: play zone, if they play man, it's very, very difficult.

302
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Then you have to execute. You got to make throws.

303
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: I've only been on an NFL sideline a couple times

304
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: at Candlestick when the forty nine Ers used to play there,

305
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: they used to let you come down to the field

306
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: five minutes before the end of the game. And I'll

307
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: never forget going down to the field on this epic

308
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: Monday night game where the forty nine Ers were playing

309
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: the Falcons and it was Navarro Bowman picked off a

310
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: ball that like Roddy White, kind of fumbled and took

311
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: it to the house and dove into the end zone

312
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: and the Niners clinched a playoff berth. It was an

313
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: incredible moment. It's the loudest stadium I've ever heard in

314
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: my entire The place went berserk. It actually was the

315
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: last game of Candlestick ever. They moved into Levi's the

316
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: next season, but it was it was an incredible moment.

317
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: But before it felt like the Falcons were going to

318
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: drive and score a touchdown. And when you hear people

319
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: talk about you know, I heard a lot of people

320
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: like Aidan O'Connell, good wake up call. The speed of

321
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: the game, the speed of the game in the preseason

322
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: relative of the regular season, that's true, and then the

323
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: speed of the game in big games. How fast the

324
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: pass rush was getting on Matt Ryan and him getting

325
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. It was something I will never

326
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: forget because is one thing. Listen, I've been to I

327
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: don't know fifty NFL games, all different angles. There's nothing

328
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: like being on the field and the speed, the power,

329
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: how fast you have to figure out what you're gonna do,

330
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: what's going on, and then get rid of the ball. Yeah,

331
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: it's really hard to play the position. There's this time,

332
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: there's no way around it. For a limited time, you

348
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: before it's gone. Let me ask you this again. Ebra

349
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: Flus is definitely gone, But what about Ryan Poles? When

350
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: is it time for management to pull the plug on

351
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: the GM? Gms get two hires, right, It's very rare

352
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: that a GM gets countless highers. So usually you get two,

353
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: you get the opportunity to mess up your first one. Clearly,

354
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Eberflus was a Bill Polian guy. He was pushed on

355
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: by the organization. My question is who would Poles higher?

356
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: My question is why did he hire eber Flus in

357
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: the first place if he had any juice. No, they've

358
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: talked countless times about how close they are, how good

359
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: their relationship is, how they played golf in the offseason.

360
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: None of it matters. As a GM, you don't control

361
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: that much once the season starts. You don't set the

362
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: game plan. You know, you're not coaching the players during

363
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: the week, you're not creating the plays. A lot is

364
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: out of your control. Any good GM to look good, like,

365
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: why is John Snyder and Brett Veach good gms? They're

366
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: clearly good at their job, you know, evaluating players, making

367
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: draft picks, But because they got big time coaches. If

368
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: you do not have a really good coach. The reason

369
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: Poli and Nick Cassario became like big time prospects as

370
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: gms was because of fucking Belichick, right, So to become

371
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: a big time prospect as a GM, it's impossible to

372
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: do it with a shitty coach. It's impossible to do

373
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: it with an average coach. Won't happen. No one knew

374
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: who less Need was till McVeigh got there. John Lynch

375
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: looked a lot better right next to Kyle Shanahan. So yeah,

376
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I don't know who he'd hire.

377
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: But it's a freaking disaster right now. I mean, it

378
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: really is. It just can't get any worse. Bears fan here,

379
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to think against this Bronco game?

380
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: Fields literally had a career day, but it was against

381
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: a bottom five team. And here the problem is the

382
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: worst defense in the league. I mean, I don't care

383
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: what the metrics say, that's the worst defense in the league.

384
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: That defense, you give up seventy points. You let Fields

385
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: have a career day when he had been objectively arguably

386
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: the worst quarterback. You could argue it, you could objectively

387
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: like it was no disputing it. He was terrible. I

388
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: think the move is this, you want to keep losing,

389
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: You want the Panthers to keep losing, and then you know,

390
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: hopefully Field shows a little bit. Maybe you could trade

391
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: them for a mid round pick. A team takes a

392
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: flyer on them, but that's whatever, and you get the

393
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: first in the second pick. And then what you do

394
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: is you draft Kleb Williams one and you trade the

395
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: second pick for a haul. So then you got you

396
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: basically utilized the pick from Carolina to turn that into

397
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: more assets, right, And that's the key. That's hard to

398
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: do in life. If I gave ten people right now

399
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: ten million dollars, I'd say at most one of the

400
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: ten people would turn that into fifty million dollars over

401
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the next ten years. Seventy percent of them would blow it.

402
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: And that's no different than draft day trades. You make

403
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: these big draft day trads. I saw the Raiders do it.

404
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: They traded Khalil Mack. Would they use the picks? A

405
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: couple guys are in jail, they're all cut. It was

406
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: a disaster. So the key is is to utilize those

407
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: draft assets, those resources. Either flip them and would be

408
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: very easy in this quarterback draft, or help maybe go

409
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams Marvin Harrison junior Kleb Williams the best offensive lineman.

410
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: You can do that too. There's a balance, right, but

411
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: that to me is the key. That to me's the hope.

412
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: That's all your hope. And before you get to that point,

413
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: it's we're gonna need a new coach. Ebra Flus, This

414
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work. This ain't working, Doug Audios, God speak

415
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: to you. You can't go basically a season. I mean

416
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: there's a chance he loses seventeen straight regular season games,

417
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: especially if I mean they're playing Thursday night. Washington's favored,

418
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: Washington's a better team, the Commander should win that game.

419
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Weird things happen on Thursday nights, but still seventeen straight games.

420
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: Think how much we made fun of Hugh Jackson and

421
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: the Browns. They were trying to lose. They tanked like

422
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: that was on purpose. Think about this, are trying to win.

423
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: As a very very very delusional Steelers fan, I'm already

424
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: seeing this season as a wash. I've never thought i'd

425
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: say this because I wears Jersey, that we should trade TJ.

426
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: Am I insane we get a lot in return. What

427
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: do you think a player like TJ would garner in

428
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: terms of trade value? Would be a little complicated. Let's

429
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: just pretend I don't know all the details of his contract,

430
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: how complicated that is. But the market's kind of been

431
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: set on massive trades years ago, right, Khalil Mack, Jamal Adams,

432
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Ones and twos? Right, multiple ones and a

433
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: two or multiple ones and a three. I think at

434
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: minimum two ones, two two's and like a player minimum.

435
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what is he non quarterback? Top ten player

436
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: in the league, top five player in the league, high character, superstar.

437
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: You know if I was negotiating to be like, well,

438
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: he had a major injury last year. A little older? Right?

439
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: How old is TJ Watt? My guess is twenty twenty

440
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: eight would be my would be my guess he is, Yeah,

441
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: twenty eight turns twenty nine Libra as well in a

442
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: couple of days. So two ones, two twos, you got

443
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: your own pick. Might be time to reset. Here's the thing,

444
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: like and I love TJ. Watt, love Max Crosby. If

445
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: your team just blows, the Steelers stink and I was

446
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: dead wrong. I thought they were gonna be good. Turns

447
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: out they just suck. Underestimated how terrible mac cannon is.

448
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're not gonna do it though, no chance.

449
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: A follow up question I sent during halftime of the

450
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: Cardinals Giants game in Week two. Are the Giants the

451
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: worst team in the league? It might be the Bears,

452
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: but the Giants are really making a case the Giants

453
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: are better U. The Giants have two major injuries. Listen.

454
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: The Saquon Barkley thing's complicated. I think if he turned

455
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: down what was reportedly he turned down last year, it's dumb,

456
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: but he is. I never disputed that he's important to

457
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: the team. So when you remove him, like Darren Waller

458
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: kind of got paid, he's never been the same. And

459
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: I bite into the preseason hype like I don't know

460
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: what's going on there. Their defense clearly is not quite

461
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: as good. They're missing Andrew Thomas. The Giants are better,

462
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: but as of right now, and clearly you would take

463
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: day Ball over Eberflus. But yeah, it's it's ugly. It's

464
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely ugly. It feels like, well, how are they

465
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna beat divisional teams? How are they gonna beat They've

466
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: already got their ass kicked by the Cowboys. How are

467
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: they gonna sniff the Eagles? Remember last year they got mollywopped?

468
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: So worst team in the league. No, I'd say Carolina's worse.

469
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: I see the Bears are worse. I think Denver's worse.

470
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: You guys are bad. Was last year just a fluke

471
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: here for my Giants? Or is Brian Dable a bad

472
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: coach that had a cushy schedule and profited off of it?

473
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: After all the years of suffering I endured, looks like

474
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: we're back for another terrible season. Also, would it be

475
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: wrong to abandon ship and root for another team in

476
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: this instance? Not saying I will, but after the Patriot

477
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: fans complaints, We've had a Patriot fans that ask if

478
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: they can root for other teams now, which is hard

479
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: to allow given you've had twenty of the greatest years

480
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: in the history of the league. I think the Giants

481
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: have had it way worse. Thanks. Yeah, I don't know

482
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: how old you are. You look will looks kind of young.

483
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: I've lived through two Giants super Bowls, so and two.

484
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: You didn't just have two Super Bowls. You beat an

485
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: undefeated team and you beat them again. Now, they had

486
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: some losses that year, but still you beat Belichick and

487
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: Brady twice. So I would say no on the Giants.

488
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: I do think and listen. I people used to make

489
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: fun of me when I worked in the NFL. Obviously

490
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: now talking for a living, sometimes it happens to me.

491
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: Especially if I'm having a cocktail or two. I could

492
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: just hype things up. It's just the nature of the

493
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: way I live my life. I get excited. I get excited,

494
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: and I bought in. I bought If Brian Dable was

495
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: a stock, would have put it in one hundred g's

496
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: and right now, let's face it, it looks like about twenty

497
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: five k right now. So sometimes part of being a

498
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: good player, part of being a good coach, part of

499
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: being a good company, part of being good, a good husband, whatever,

500
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: a good dad is like being consistent. Anyone can have

501
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: a good day, anyone. I'm a great dad. Took my

502
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: kid to Disneyland. Well, it's like, do you make sure

503
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: he does his homework? You know? Do you make sure

504
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: he's happy? Do you are you there for him? Right?

505
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: We had one good quarter? Well what happened the other four?

506
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes with coaching, part of it is

507
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: doing it over and over and over again? Like why

508
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: is Andy Reid and Pete Carroll Good been winning for decades? Right?

509
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean why is Rabel Good refuses to

510
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: lose just will not get embarrassed? So tbd, I would say,

511
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: TBD on Dable right now, if he has a shitty year,

512
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: there's no way around it that he's gonna have the

513
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: one fluke year in unknown. I don't think we can

514
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: just anoint him, which I did and a lot of

515
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: people did. But part of being consistent at anything in

516
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: life is doing it over and over and over again. Okay,

517
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: I love the pod. The Cardinals offense under Drew Pezzing

518
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: has been impressive. Six in offense, Dboa all with Dobbs

519
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: at quarterback and not a great o line with Kyler

520
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: set to return at some point, do you think this

521
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: guy gets the most out of Kyler and build building

522
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: around him. If Kyler can be the quarterback going forward,

523
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: utilize two first round picks on positions other than quarterback

524
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: slash kleb as many thought entering the season, it would

525
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: seem to expedite the rebuild. Agree. I don't have Do

526
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: you guys have two first round picks? Not super locked

527
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: in on my cardinal draft chart, but if you do,

528
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty happy. Do you? I would say, wasn't

529
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: there a report on Sunday morning that Kyler isn't remotely

530
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: close to coming back? That's if I did. I read

531
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: that wrong. The Cardinals have been remarkable. I've watched three

532
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: of their four games. Them against the forty nine ers.

533
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: That score was a lot closer. They are scrappy. They

534
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: are playing their ass off. And listen, I've made fun

535
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: of Jonathan Gannon. Dude's been a coordinator for two years.

536
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: Lost the Super Bowl. Literally, he had me hit it.

537
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Gets a head coaching, John He's buying ten million down

538
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: the dollar house down the road from where I'm sitting.

539
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean, good for him. I'm I celebrate success and

540
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: wealth here, but seems a little crazy. Shows you the

541
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: NFL is a great business to be in as a coach.

542
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I had buddies with the Eagles that said, listen, everyone

543
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: makes fun of them, especially the pew pew pew and

544
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: the fire in your gut. I don't know anyone who's

545
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: been around him that doesn't really like him and doesn't

546
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: swear by his leadership and how good he is with players.

547
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: So sometimes those videos that go viral and every you know,

548
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: overweight media guy on Twitter make fun of you. That

549
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he doesn't resonate with his guys because

550
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: his teams. Just watch his team. They have played dramatically

551
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: harder than like the Giants this season. They've played harder

552
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: in like the Falcons, and they don't have any talent,

553
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: but when you watch them play, they're laying it all

554
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: on the line. So I don't know much about this

555
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I know his defensive coordinator is like thirty

556
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: years old. Yeah, it feels like he's got a you know, clear.

557
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: I know they haven't won a game, but they have

558
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: a huge upgrade. Just watch him play, especially when you

559
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: factor in the personnel over Kingsbury, ben In every pod

560
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: listener here for a while feels like just kicking it

561
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: with the boys. I like, this guy, been hanging to

562
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: every last ounce of hope for Mac. But after what

563
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: I witnessed against the Cowboys, you were right, he ain't it.

564
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: Assuming the Pats have a shot at a quarterback that's

565
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: not Caleb, who do you think the third or fourth

566
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: best quarterback coming out? I haven't talked to anyone that

567
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have the top two guys as obviously Caleb and

568
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: Drake May. I think those guys are the clear upper echelon.

569
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Then I think there's a group of five or six

570
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: guys that we're just gonna have to see it play out, right.

571
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: I think Riley Leonard for Duke, was in that mix.

572
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: Now he might be closer to like a bigger, stronger

573
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones kind of clone ironically because they went to

574
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: the same school, but he's injured. You have the Michigan quarterback,

575
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: you have the Oregon quarterback, you have the Washington quarterback.

576
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: So Bo Nicks, Pennix McCarthy, I mean, are pretty pretty

577
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: Quinn viewers at Texas very very interesting prospect. I don't know.

578
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there is a ton of money

579
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: to be made for all these guys. As all these

580
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks now start playing each other in their conference, what's

581
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: it gonna look like because a lot of these guys

582
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: this is the way college football works. It's why we've

583
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: gone to a playoff, have played joke schedules. I mean,

584
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: they're playing the School of the Mines, Sisters of the Poor.

585
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: It's just like, come on, guys, this is the number

586
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: one thing. I hope when we get to the twelve

587
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: team playoff. Can we just get Ohio State, Notre Dame.

588
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: Can we just get Michigan, Ole Miss? Can we just

589
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: get Alabama? Clemson? Can we get these games in the

590
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: you know that are quote unquote the preseason of college

591
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: the non conference, and stop playing these joke teams. You

592
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: could play other maybe non Power five teams, like you're

593
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: allowed to play a Boise State or a Frozen State.

594
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Let's stop playing these D one Double A teams. What

595
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: what the fuck are we doing? No one wants to

596
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: see it, not the fans, not the consumer. And we

597
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: pay for everything without us, none of it exists, definitely,

598
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: not all the money that's flowing in with the coaching

599
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: salaries and now with nil Can we just and it's

600
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: not the player's fault. It's the coaches and the administrators.

601
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: And no one has less respect for the administrators than

602
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: your boy right here. Can we just start playing real games?

603
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, hey, Michael Pennix, well all these touchdowns,

604
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: Like I love Washington play, but what does it actually mean.

605
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out when he plays Oregon, when he

606
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: plays Washington State, when he plays usc usc too. I

607
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: mean they've played Hawaii, They've played the San Jose State,

608
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: so I'd say it's that group of guys. Listen to

609
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: Colin pod recapping the past Weekends game, two things came

610
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: up that I wanted to comment on Michigan and Harbaugh.

611
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: As a diehard Ohio State born and raised in Ohio,

612
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't agree with the statement of Hardbob being such

613
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: a great coach. I mean, he's only beat OSU twice,

614
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: not to mention he's avoided an ass kicking from OSU

615
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: to save his job during COVID. You know that season

616
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: was weird. I'm throwing out twenty twenty for everyone. Mac

617
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: Jones became the fifteenth overall pick that year. That year

618
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: was a fugazi, complete fugazi Chase pane sewell, Michael Parsons.

619
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: None of them played. Do you think if we I'll

620
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: promise he does we redo that draft? That fugazi of

621
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: a draft. Michael Parsons goes too behind Trevor Lawrence. Also,

622
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about Ohio State this year.

623
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: Penn State is really good as well and places Michigan

624
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: pretty tough. Yeah, I mean you cannot dispute that he's

625
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: an excellent coach. Is he an all time great coach?

626
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: Can't be as it won a title, But he's won

627
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: in the pros and he's won in college. That's a

628
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: very short list of guys. He has not won a

629
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: title in either, but he's beat your ass two years

630
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: in a row, and he's gonna be favored this year.

631
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: I'll take hardball over Ryan Day, which Barlow and Ryan

632
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Day's been in the playoffs a bunch of times. So

633
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: is he a great coach? Well, I mean I reserved

634
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: that for champions right, Sabin Kirby Urban Pete Like this

635
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: is Chip Kelly a great coach? He was a really

636
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: good coach at Oregon. I think we talk about Trevor

637
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: Lawrence and him being an upper echelon of the quarterbacks.

638
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen anything consistently through his career

639
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: to the point to say he belongs with Mahomes, Burrow,

640
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: Allen or Herbert. I gave him a pass for his

641
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: rookie year because of the disaster. I just haven't seen consistency.

642
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: My pushback there is who compares him to those guys.

643
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he has the opportunity, the physical attributes, but

644
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: there's no one in the NFL that would take him

645
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: over Allen, Mahomes or Herbert or healthy Joe Burrow not

646
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: a soul, not a soul. So those guys are on

647
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: a different tier than him. And I agree, like he's

648
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: got a like, let's go, bro, you're a really good player.

649
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: You showed some life. I didn't watch any of it,

650
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: but Sunday morning, let's start rattling off some wins. You're

651
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: too talented. I've said the whole time. Their offense should

652
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: be awesome. We'll see question for the bag. It's from Bruno.

653
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: I think we all agree Zach Wilson is not the guy. Agreed,

654
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: But after the Rogers injury, what would you do if

655
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: you're the Jets? The available veterans stink Onz is probably

656
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: an older version of Zach. You are already low on picks,

657
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: so trade may be difficult, and your depth is horrible.

658
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: What would you say is their best option aside from

659
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: playing him and hoping for a miracle. I think that's

660
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: your only option. I think your only option this season

661
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: is to try to figure out how to get that

662
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: version on Sunday Night out of Zach Wilson and be

663
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: competitive and compete for the seven seed. Can we get

664
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: to nine wins? Can we somehow at one in three?

665
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: Just get to five and five and then take our

666
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: chances and try to win, you know, four of the

667
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: last seven games, and try to get to nine. And

668
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: if we're nine and eight, we got a chance to

669
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. That would be my goal. Maybe get

670
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: to four and four, like we got to try to

671
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: get back to five hundred. But I don't think you

672
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: have any options. This is why the moment he towards Achilles,

673
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: it was like, what are you they supposed to do?

674
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: Do you think an above average but not elite quarterback

675
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: like Cousins or Prescott can win the Super Bowl in

676
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenties, say Trent Dilfer in two thousand or

677
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: even Nick Foles in eighteen. Is that possibility if you're

678
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: surrounded by the right cast. Well, I would say the

679
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: difference between Foles and dilferd like, Foles played really well

680
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, played really really well, look like a dude, right,

681
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: look like a stud. I think it's very, very difficult

682
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: because it's it's almost impossible in moving forward to have

683
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: a defense that allows like eleven points, and that's really

684
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: the only way to do it. When you think about

685
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: Trent Dilfer, he played on a defense that you could

686
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: not score on, even early Russell Wilson, who was nowhere

687
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: near what he became. That defense. You couldn't score in

688
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: the defense. It was impossible, not possible. Now, defense in

689
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs the last couple of rounds gets a lot better,

690
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: But when you're playing, you're always end up playing one

691
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks. So it's very very hard to

692
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: overcome that. Right, didn't Brady throw for like five hundred

693
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: yards in that Super Bowl? It was a part of

694
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: it was like Foles made plays and the Eagles made plays.

695
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: So I would say Dilfer and Foles don't even parallel

696
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: each other in their situation. I think the Brad Johnson Dilfer.

697
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: Think of their examples. Both of them played on two

698
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: of I mean, the two best defenses in my life,

699
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in Baltimore. I was born in eighty four,

700
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: but I don't you know the eighty five Bears. But

701
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: those days to me are just over. Like a good

702
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: defense is still could get up twenty five points in

703
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. I'm a Dolphins fan and have heard

704
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: some of your Collin and Collins take about two up

705
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: and giving him a lucrative second contract even if he

706
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: puts up good numbers. But what if the piece is

707
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: together a bona fide MVP season, forty touchdowns, team wins

708
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: twelve to fourteen games. I understand the injury concerns system

709
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: quarterback label will limit a stock, but I feel like

710
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: there would be a ton of pressure to give him

711
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: the bag if he absolutely tears it up. I just

712
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't see any way possible if you're the Dolphins

713
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: that even if this season goes well, you win a

714
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: playoff game, maybe you win twelve games, you're a wild card,

715
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: you upset someone in the first round, that you give

716
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: him two hundred million dollars Because that's kind of what

717
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: these guys have been getting one hundred and ninety million dollars.

718
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: I think what they would do. My best guess is

719
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: play out next year's fifth year option. That's just an

720
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: educated guess. Maybe I'm wrong, but I still have I

721
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing them give him the Joe

722
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: Burrow justin Herbert contract because physically it's like it's not

723
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: just yeah in a vacuum. This season looks like it's

724
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: going really well, and honestly, when he's been on the field,

725
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: you guys have been very, very successful. But can you

726
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: trust it? Can you trust it? And the last time

727
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: you gave a big contract out to a quarterback much

728
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: different times, much less money. Had some negative ramifications with

729
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. My question, do you think the Patriots have

730
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: a chance to make the wild card? With Aaron Rodgers

731
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: being injured? I would assume by the way the AFC

732
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: is shaping up as Buffalo will be a wild card.

733
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: What are our chances? I think this was on third

734
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: This was before the game. I don't I think you

735
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: guys are headed toward six wins. I do I think

736
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: losing your two defensive players, who Christian Gonzalez has been

737
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: fantastic and Judon has been, I mean, just a stalwart

738
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: for your team the last several years. That's devastating. I mean,

739
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: that's it's hard to replace, especially when you're in a

740
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: defensive team. So I hate to say it, but I

741
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: think you guys are screwed. I bet a lot of

742
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: people listening or watching have been in an accident. I

743
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: bet a lot of people have been into an intense

744
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: car accident. And let's face it, not knowing who to

745
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: call for help is hard. Hiring Morgan and Morgan is

746
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: easy because Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law

Speaker 1: fair compensation. They've been fighting for the people for over

752
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: thirty five years. Submitting an injury claim with Morgan and

753
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: Morgan is so easy, that's the key. Not having representation

754
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: is hard. Fighting with Morgan and Morgan is easy. If

00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: Okinawa Active duty Marine, Thank you for your service. Andrew.

763
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: Question for you about something really mundane. Is there some

764
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of central repository for the NFL where each team

765
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: inputs their player salary info so everyone has access to it.

766
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: Is there some kind of proprietary program that each team

767
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: uses to make it same everywhere whereas each team left

768
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: to make their own spreadsheet and reported to the league.

769
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: I forget the name, but I know what you're getting at.

770
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: There is a database specifically like within twenty four hours.

771
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: It's why guys like Florio and reporters get access to

772
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: the contract. There is a database. So when Joe Burrow

773
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: signs his contract and I'm a team that's gonna sign

774
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback contract, that goes up to the whatever it's called,

775
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: and every team has access to it and can see

776
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: the details of the contract. So yeah, it's this isn't

777
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: like I run a sandwich shop. You run a sandwich shop.

778
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: We're owned by the same people, but it's independent. I

779
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: don't have to report my own It's like no, everyone

780
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: reports to everybody. Everyone's on the same page. You don't

781
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: have to do it with coaches, but you have to

782
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: do it with players. I think it's I'd have to ask,

783
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: but I would imagine union some different impact there of

784
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: why it works the way it does. But yeah, every

785
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: contract is known by every team within twenty four to

786
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, like the details of the contract. And

787
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: then if you're a contract negotiator, right every contract that

788
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: gets signed. No, I'm like random practice squad guy. You evaluate.

789
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you could send some light on Kyle Pitt's

790
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: situation with the Falcons. He's been under utilized in the

791
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: passing game and his blocking is not very spectacular. Arthur

792
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: Smith seems satisfied with him and his role with the team.

793
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: Do you think there's something going on behind the scenes

794
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: causing this? How do you navigate contract negotiations with a

795
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: guy like this? Just seems like Atlanta use the number

796
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: four overall pick on a talent that is going to

797
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: waste when your quarterback isn't very good. You could have

798
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, you could have Jerry Rice, you could have whoever.

799
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: If the guy is not a running back and you

800
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: literally can just hand the ball to him, and whether

801
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 1: your team sucks, if you've got Walter Payton or Barry Sanders,

802
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna make some plays. The quarterback obviously needs

803
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: to get the ball to any weapon. So as a

804
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: pass catching player, whether I'm a tight end and that's

805
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is like a hybrid wide receiver, I need

806
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback to be good and Mariota to ritter. Their

807
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks suck, so we can talk about under utilization. They're

808
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: passing games awful. So when you're passing games bad, what

809
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: are you supposed to do? It's just when your passing

810
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: game is bad, your receivers are not gonna live up

811
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: to the hype and they've invested a lot. I don't know, man,

812
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: I just I think they got problems. So I don't know.

813
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be in trouble when it comes

814
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: to contract negotiations. Christopher, hope you're crushing it. Hope you

815
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: keep crushing it. Appreciate it. I had a question regarding

816
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and the new Mahomes contract. Should he be

817
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: pissed that the Chiefs didn't show him any love as

818
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: a way to get back at them. Could he hint

819
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be injured in the playoffs and he's

820
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: not gonna risk putting it on the line for thirty

821
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars a game where nothing is guaranteed. Seems

822
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: like his representatives screwed him on these negotiations, but also

823
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: feels like at the end of the season, if he

824
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: really wanted to, if he's not willing to do this,

825
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: it's hard to feel bad for him because he's gonna

826
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: get franchise tag next year. Well, I think these third

827
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: contracts are complicated. They really are. Aaron Donald didn't get

828
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: a third contract, He just got all of his contract guaranteed.

829
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: And I think Chris Jones, listen, he's not, you know,

830
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: a charity case here. He's making twenty million dollars and honestly,

831
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit all the incentives. He's gonna make twenty

832
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: three million dollars. The better you play, the more money

833
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: you make in your future. And is there a chance

834
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: that maybe they franchise and trade him. Is there a

835
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: chance that they just break him off again, for sure.

836
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: But part of these negotiations you're very dependent on your

837
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: agent knowing what they're doing. And clearly the two Mafioso

838
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: brothers who are sitting next to Chris Jones at week

839
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: one of the Chiefs game, you know, misplayed their hand

840
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: and this is an organization that will take care of

841
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: their guys. The other thing, though, is when you win,

842
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: Like you said, I don't know the exact breakdown of

843
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: the playoff games, but you don't make any money. Mahomes

844
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: will make the same amount as the fifty third guy

845
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: in the roster. Every guy makes the same. It is

846
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: when you make the money though, for the rest of

847
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: your life. And Mahomes being a several times super Bowl champion,

848
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: Chris Jones now being a multiple times super Bowl champion,

849
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: he will profit off that until he's dead. And so yeah,

850
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: the monetary immediate value of a playoff game for these

851
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: individuals is miniscule, right, A thirty two thousand dollars a

852
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: week for most of us, pretty good week for a

853
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: guy like Chris Jones who makes twenty million dollars a

854
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: year of shitty, But it has value. It has a

855
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: lot of value, and I remember arguing with the player

856
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: about this one time that it's kind of bs the

857
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: way it works. But it's also when you make the

858
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: money for your brand, which is you the player. So

859
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: I hear you. I think everyone by now has seen

860
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: that Zach Wilson clip of Rodney Harrison asking him about it.

861
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: Chris Jones a pretty high level guy. Part of the

862
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: reason the Chiefs are really good, Like, got a lot

863
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: of high level guys. This is not a slappy organization.

864
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: Reminds me a lot. It's a little different the way

865
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: they play. Actually, not this version of the team, but

866
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: of the Patriots and Belichick and Brady. It's like, not

867
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: a lot of slappies on the in the building won't

868
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: be tolerated. And Chris just it was just business like.

869
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty unemotional when it comes to business. Can't have

870
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: any emotion with the dollar bill. So sometimes you make

871
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 1: plays financially and in backfires. We've all done it now,

872
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: probably not at the level of Chris Jones is negotiating

873
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: for But I hear you. I'm a Chargers flend on this.

874
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: I love talking Brandon Staley. I'm a Charger fan from Georgia.

875
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: Go to Oags. I love the show. My question is

876
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: about the coaching staff. I've always felt like Staley was

877
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: a guy than he is a coach and just wanted

878
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: the right fit for what Oh they liked him more

879
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: as a guy than they did as a coach. They

880
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: wanted the right fit who could ascend quickly given the

881
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: talent they had on the team, given the fact that

882
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: ownership is very cheap, and assuming that Stalely isn't the

883
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: coach next year or even makes it through the season,

884
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: do you see a potential for Kellen Moore to get

885
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: his opportunity as a head coach in the interim If

886
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Sally is fired during the season, I think Kellen

887
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: Moore would be the head coach. Yes, now they're two

888
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: and two. If their quarterback is healthy and their defense

889
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: just makes a couple of tackles, they're gonna get to

890
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: ten wins. They have too much talent and their their

891
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: offense is gonna be too good. So, you know, when

892
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: it looked like they had a chance to go oh

893
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: to three, when they were gonna lose that Minnesota game,

894
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 1: before you know, the ball got batted up and landed

895
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: in their Kenneth Murray's you know, bread basket that kind

896
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: of changed their season. And they've won these two games

897
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: that have looked all three. All their games were identical.

898
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: They always come down and it's been like this since

899
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. And you know, as a Charger fan, a

900
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: fourth down play late in the game, down a couple,

901
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, down three or four points, driving one time

902
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: out or vice versa. You're up late and you like

903
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: try to get it and you don't. It's just the

904
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: Chargers games have looked the same my entire adult life post.

905
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: Like Marty Schottenheimer, they play in the same freaking games.

906
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: But Bran Saley probably survives this season. I would imagine

907
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: he'd have to win. He'd have to be in the

908
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game to keep his job. He because he

909
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: could win a playoff game and be like, yeah, you

910
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: got Justin Herbert now. I guess Also, how he plays

911
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs will matter. He's played them pretty good.

912
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 1: The Chargers have always kind of played pretty well against

913
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And when the Broncos were goes Peyton Manning.

914
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: That's the thing that they play up to their competition.

915
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: They play down to their competition. There's just a bizarre operation.

916
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: I say, it all the time. It starts at the top,

917
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: when your owner's cheap, when the ethos of your organization

918
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: is to pinch pennies with the coach beside the quarterback,

919
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: the most important guy who can be in your building.

920
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: Collins talked about this, like Brian Dable wanted the job,

921
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: he had known to LESCo forever and they went with

922
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley. Like that, that's a fact. Now. Is Brian

923
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: Dable some star coach? I don't know. But would you

924
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: if you were a fan and I told you Brandon

925
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: Staley or Brian Dabele, who do you want? Listen? I

926
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: don't care what's happening this year. I'll take Brian Dable

927
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: every day of the year. He can influence offense and

928
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: hire a good defensive coordinator. Another defense doesn't look good

929
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: this year, But I take Brian Dable and wink. Martin

930
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: Dale in a heartbeat over the operation going on right now.

931
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: So appreciate everyone listening. Audio Star the volume
