1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we

2
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: doing three in our podcast? Probably not as well as

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, who had one of the great fourth quarter

4
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: turnarounds to start a career you'll ever see. It looked

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: like he was gonna get benched by week four, to

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: becoming I don't know, pretty legendary debut. A couple of touchdowns,

7
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: throwing another one running to take down the Bears. Caleb Williams,

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, what a night. We will dive into JJ

9
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: to Kleb, to that game, to Howie Roseman making deals,

10
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: trying to trade for Micah Parsons, the Giants, sticking with

11
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I don't think it's a great idea. And

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: a couple couple quick thoughts on Tom Brady watched a

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: lot of his broadcast, And we'll also do a mailbag

14
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff at John Midlecoff is the Instagram, Fire

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: in those dms and get your questions answered here on

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: the show. So did a mail bag today? Fire in

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: those mailbags because we're gonna keep banging those out. Definitely

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. We've had a live

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I've just been doing games now for

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: like four straight days. But we'll take a couple couple

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: of days, take a deep breath, and then answer all

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: your mailback questions. So just fire in those dms at

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff. Be a big couple of days of doing

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: mail bags as well as whatever else is going on

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: in the football world. But you guys know the drill.

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,160

Speaker 1: Thursday night after Who's playing the Packers? Commanders. That's a

31
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: really good game. That's a that's an excellent Thursday night game. Actually,

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: so very very fired up for that one. And we'll

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: turn it into a podcast. So because this is a podcast,

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: we're podcasters. But before we dive into any football you know,

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,160

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: we just witnessed. And I've been thinking a lot about

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: this because forever, I would say, conventional wisdom with people

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: that talk about football, with people that talk about draft prospects,

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: and you know, the draft order and drafting quarterbacks, is

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: how lucky it is for quarterbacks to go to good teams.

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I e. Patrick Mahomes when the Chiefs traded up to

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: get him, and he eventually replaced Alex Smith, and I said, yeah,

62
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean in theory, it makes a lot of sense.

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: But you better be good right away because we have

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: a couple recent examples of guys getting acquired drafted high

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: by teams, the forty nine ers with Super Bowl expectations

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: and the Colts with Playoff expectations, and your leash is

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: way smaller than the guys that get drafted on god

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: awful teams. Take Bryce Young for example. He showed some

69
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: signs of life at the end of last season, but

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: he just had a horrendous game year three. You know what,

71
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: no one saw it. It actually doesn't matter now. Is

72
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: he going to be their quarterback in three years? I

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't feel confident about saying that, but he's gonna get

74
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: this year. They play in a market, they play for

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: a team that's not winning many games. People aren't paying attention.

76
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: But when Trey Lance was thrust into the starting lineup,

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: it was like, you better be good and right away.

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Some of the star players like, I don't see it

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: last year, Anthony Richardson, all the guys like, we are out.

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: And that's what it felt like watching JJ McCarthy today.

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: It's like this is a roster and a franchise that

82
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: won fourteen games last year, was sixteen minutes away from

83
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: being the number one seed. Who I don't know if

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: they have Super Bowl aspirations with a first time starter

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but at minimum competing for the division and

86
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: be playing in January. Anything less than a playoff game,

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: even if it is on the road as a wild

88
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: card team, would be an awful pill to swallow for

89
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: everyone in Minnesota, given that they clearly have one of

90
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: the best rosters in the NFL and obviously an excellent

91
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: head coat coach who's the offensive play caller and a

92
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: dominant defensive coordinator, and just a winning culture this franchise

93
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: since Kevin O'Connell has been there, we've lost the playoff games,

94
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: two of them as favorites, but they have been an

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: excellent regular season team. And you're watching that first half

96
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: and you're going, this might not work. Not because you're

97
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: just going, this guy physically can't play, even though he

98
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: looked definitely overwhelmed and he was swimming on the road. Honestly,

99
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: it had it had some march manning at Ohio State

100
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: feels it's like this is way too big for this guy.

101
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: This is he's melting down, and then he throws the

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: pick six and you start thinking, is this guy gonna

103
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: make it to Halloween? Do they need to get on

104
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: the phone and call Atlanta to get Kirk Cousins back?

105
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? How can they look Justin

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: Jefferson in the face? How can they look all the

107
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: guys on defense in the face? How can they ask

108
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: their star left tackle to battle back from rehabilitating his

109
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: torn knee for this? And then he flipped a switch

110
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: and you went, what did I just witness? And one

111
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: thing I would say, two things we don't talk enough

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: about when it comes to quarterbacks mental toughness and obviously

113
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: physical toughness. And the mental toughness won. This guy started

114
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: for Harbaugh for a couple of years, and it's why

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: I had reservations about the player because I went one.

116
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: He played at Michigan, which the majority of teams they played,

117
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: they had a huge talent advantage. He was on a

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: roster with basically every guy started on offense, started on defense,

119
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: and most of the backups were NFL players. He lost

120
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: one game in college and it was a freak game

121
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: to TCU and Sunny Dikes, which they should have been

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: in the National Championship game back to back games. Now,

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: they probably would have lost that Georgia team in the

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: National Championship, but this guy's not used to losing. And

125
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: my reservation was the way they played in college, a

126
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: run first coach. I don't know how this is gonna

127
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: mesh with Minnesota and a coach that wants to throw

128
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: the ball. Now, he only had twenty attempts to night,

129
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: and through early in the game it was not pretty

130
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: at all. But by the end of the game, you

131
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: saw him drive passes, you saw him touch passes, you

132
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: saw him manipulate the pocket, you saw him stand in

133
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: the pocket. Obviously he ran for a touchdown. And I

134
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: was thinking about this, like, if you get hired out

135
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: of college at Chase Bank or Goldman Sachs, and the

136
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: first thing they do is say, hey, you're gonna go

137
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: meet with Warren Buffett or Jeff Bezos tonight or tomorrow,

138
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: our biggest clients. That'd be asking them a lot. And

139
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: that's kind of what it feels like when you get

140
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: drafted to a team that has thirteen, fourteen to fifteen

141
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: win expectations. There is no margin foreer everyone is watching

142
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: your games most of us out of college aren't asked

143
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: to do much, get the shitty assignments. That is playing

144
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panthers. And you watch tonight on the

145
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: road in Chicago. The place is buzzn't The defense is

146
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: flying around. You're like, listen, this is it's only one game.

147
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: It's on the row, but this is gonna be hard

148
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: to overcome. They threw the kitchen stick at him and

149
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: he kind of failed, and then the fourth quarter happened.

150
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: They were around seventeen to six, They won twenty seven

151
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: to twenty four, and he accounted for three touchdowns. So

152
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: that was I don't know as exhilarating of a turnarounds

153
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: I can ever remember for a young player. And if

154
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: you're a Minnesota Viking fan right now, you get Atlanta

155
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: at home this upcoming week on Sunday Night football, you're

156
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about yourself because that young guy. And

157
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman said, this showed a lot of moxie, a

158
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: lot of toughness. And the thing I'll never forget about

159
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: the Trey Lance San Francisco experience was how their star

160
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: core didn't believe in the guy. And when you don't

161
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: have your Pro Bowl all pro level guys believing in

162
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: your quarterback. It's over before it even starts. We saw

163
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: that the Colts don't have as many high end guys,

164
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: but it was clear they turned on him as well.

165
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: And tonight you're thinking, like God, is is Jefferson gonna believe? Here?

166
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: Are all the guys on defense gonna believe? Is Jordan

167
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Addison when he comes back? This is not gonna work?

168
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Is darrisaw going? What am I rehabbing for? And now

169
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: in the locker room, I can imagine when these videos

170
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: go viral, they're having him break it down. They're going nuts,

171
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: They're giving him the game ball. There is belief. There

172
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: is nothing more powerful in this world than hope. It

173
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: is just a powerful driver for us all at any

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: point in time in our life. And I think that

175
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: hope and that belief that that team showed looking at

176
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: their quarterback, how fired up their head coaches. There is

177
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: no disputing this. Their coaching staff in Minnesota is excellent. Now,

178
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: I think Kevin can get a little pass happy though.

179
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Tonight I thought he did a good job and one

180
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: thing that he settled JJ down a little bit. He

181
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: handed the ball to Jordan Mason, who somehow is on

182
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: their team because the forty nine ers wanted to save

183
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: a couple million dollars. That guy's a good running back,

184
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, excellent pass catching running back. Out of the backfield.

185
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: You can throw him wheel routes till the cows come home.

186
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: And a couple times I thought in the playoffs, specifically

187
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: last year in the Lions game, in the Rams game,

188
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: I thought Kevin got a little pass happy, and listen,

189
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: we all have our philosophical beliefs when it comes to football,

190
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: if we're an offensive guy or a defensive guy. Kevin

191
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: likes to pass. But I thought tonight he did a

192
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: really good job of just balancing it a little bit.

193
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: And once JJ got his confidence, throw a to eighteen,

194
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Throw it to eighteen, throw it to eighteen. And obviously

195
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: that's where the floodgates open when he hit him on

196
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: the touchdown. And you know, Brian Flores is elite at

197
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: what he does that defense. This was the question mark

198
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: with the team. I looked as JJ was melting down,

199
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is why I think his

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: leash is going to be small. Through the first four

201
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: games last year, Sam Darnold had thrown twelve touchdowns. Minnesota

202
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: came out of the gates so hot. Obviously from a

203
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: win lost standpoint, but from an offensive standpoint. He threw

204
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the first two games, and then it

205
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: was four and three. He was slinging that pill. It

206
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: was just fireworks. So the expectations, which I understand letting

207
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: him go, was to use those resources and buy other players.

208
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: Totally get it. But then the pressure, even you know,

209
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: amplifies on JJ and he answered the bell, you know,

210
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: for a guy that did not even throw for one

211
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards. I can't tell you how impressed

212
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: I am, because the one thing when you're scouting players,

213
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, we can all see JJ can run around.

214
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Look at Caleb that there's no disputing. Honestly, he's even

215
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: a better athlete than I thought. You watch him sling

216
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: that thing. He's throwing one hundred mile an hour fastballs.

217
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: My mom can see the physical gifts. How about the

218
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: mental gifts? How about the intangibles? What's it like when

219
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: shit's hitting the fan. I've referenced this a couple of times.

220
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: The Athletic article on quarterbacks, and the premise of it

221
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: was something Kevin O'Connell said did organizations fail quarterbacks? Not

222
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: the other way around that quarterbacks fail organizations. And Bill

223
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: Parcells was quoted in there saying, don't evaluate quarterbacks when

224
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: they throw three touchdowns and win. Everyone acts the same.

225
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: Evaluate them when things are crumbling around them, when they

226
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: throw a pick six, when they look like shit, How

227
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: do they act? How do they carry themselves? And we

228
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: got a front row seat watching JJ McCarthy because he

229
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: throws that pick six to the practice squad guy who

230
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: honestly looked pretty six to four corner from Oregon State,

231
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: fascinating player. Awful that he ends up hurting his knee

232
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: late in the game, but has the pick six. He

233
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: had gone against Justin Jefferson last year in practice, every

234
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: single day when he was on the Minnesota Vikings. To

235
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: have that moment in Chicago, what a cool, just thing

236
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: to happen to that guy's career. And it felt like

237
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: he was ruining JJ's moment, and JJ was melting down

238
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: in front of us all and then that fourth quarter

239
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: happened and he turned into Sam Darnold or Kirk Cousins,

240
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: the guys that Kevin O'Connell has won a ton of

241
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: games with. So congrat to JJ McCarthy that that was

242
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: extremely impressive. Now on the flo and listen Minnesota. One

243
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: thing I wrote down is I was like, green Bay's

244
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: watching this game. When the Bears looked okay, they weren't

245
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: doing anything on offense or defense looked good and Minnesota

246
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: looked terrible. I'm like, what a win for the green

247
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. You get the Lions with a ton of issues,

248
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: You got the Bears offense can't do anything. You got

249
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota that might have a quarterback problem. I'm texting our

250
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: group text thinking green Bay's gonna win this division by

251
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: three or four games. And now I feel I still

252
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: like green Bay. But hey, listen, Minnesota is loaded and

253
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna find Chicago. They go to Detroit this week,

254
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: who clearly is going to be really, really motivated. Let's

255
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: touch on Kleeb. I want to say this as nice

256
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: as I can. Like I mentioned, physically gifted, he made

257
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: some plays tonight with his legs faster than I even thought.

258
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: No one has ever questioned his arm. He spins it

259
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: exactly like you want it. But we don't pay you

260
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: to just run around or just to spin it into

261
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the ground. Pay you to pay quarterback that's why he

262
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: was drafted number one overall. And as this game went,

263
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: I went, I don't know if I see it. And

264
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: early on in the game, I think people were giving

265
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: him a ton of credit. He's nine for his first nine,

266
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: well eight of those were dumpoffs. He was dunking, and

267
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Duncan and even Troy kind of mentioned early in the

268
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: game it's like, I think there were a couple passes there.

269
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: He just he didn't let it rip. Now, new offense,

270
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: trying to play under control. I'll give you the benefit

271
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: of the doubt. You don't want to make a mistake

272
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: early new coach, who's you know? Clearly, as Joe Buck said,

273
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: wound tight over there. The offense is baby. You're just

274
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: trying to move the ball down the field and get

275
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: your offense going in a positive direction. As the game

276
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: went on, though, I don't feel he's a rhythm player.

277
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't feel he's a natural in the pocket play

278
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: quarterback player. To me, the way he would have any

279
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: success in the NFL, because for a long time in

280
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: this game it was seventeen to six. The seven points

281
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: after he ran for the first touchdown on the first

282
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: drive of the game came from the pick six. The

283
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: offense was doing nothing. It was punt punt, three and out,

284
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: three and out. It was ugly that they couldn't move

285
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: the ball. And I watched Caleb Williams and I go,

286
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't see the mesh with Ben Johnson. I really don't.

287
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't see a guy in the pocket that has

288
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: a great feel for the subtle movements. He's natural, like

289
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: I gotta take off and because of his physical gifts,

290
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: he's really fast, he can move and he can throw

291
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: on the run a lot like Russell Wilson back in

292
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: the day with Seattle. He has those attributes, but sitting

293
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: in the pocket, countless throws over the middle of the

294
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: field throughout the game. He missed even the last pass

295
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: on that final drive where he hits Comet, which kind

296
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: of looked like it hit the ground. Comet made an

297
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: incredible effort. Is it cole like six four to sixty

298
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: five to one hand and above him. He's not a

299
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: naturally accurate player over the middle when he has to

300
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: play in rhythm. Also on that drive, what did he do?

301
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: He missed DJ Moore wide open in the corner. So

302
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: as the game went on, and we're not scripted, anymore.

303
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: And I can't just dink and dunk my way down

304
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: the field. I have to make some throws. I didn't

305
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: see it now, I'm not acting like the guy some

306
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: scrub that. There's definitely stuff there. But this is what

307
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: we've talked about since the beginning with Ben Johnson. Their

308
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: styles are opposite of each other. Like as the game

309
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: went on, Kevin O'Connell, he's like, this is what I've

310
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: been looking for. This is Kirk Cousin. Couldn't move Sam,

311
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, just could freak out a little bit in

312
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: the pocket. And as the game went on, like, that's it.

313
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: That's the guy we wanted. Now, short sample size only

314
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter Bears were gassed. I mean, he's got

315
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: a long way to go. It's a long season. But

316
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: if you're Kevin O'Connell, when you crack that cocktail or

317
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: beer on that flight home as you're watching the All

318
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: twenty two, you're gonna have a smile. Here to hear

319
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: you saw Ben Johnson look like he was seeing ghosts

320
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: or something like, what is happening here? What is going

321
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: on with my offense? We got Loveland, who's the top

322
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: ten pick. We got Cole Comet, who was a top

323
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: whatever one hundred pick, who's got a second contract. We

324
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: got rom A Doonsa. It was the ninth pick of

325
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: the draft. We got DJ Moore, who was essentially we

326
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: traded instead of getting an extra first round pick from Carolina,

327
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: we got Dj Moore. We accumulated all these offensive linemen,

328
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: and our offense fucking blows. Now. I get it first

329
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: real game, but man, as the game went on, it

330
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: felt like they had no shot and Caleb kind of

331
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: gets out of rhythm and the whole thing kind of

332
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: falls apart. So the Bears defense is gonna be solid.

333
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen's a good defensive coordinator. There's no disputing the

334
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: offensive weapons on the Bears, but sometimes just off now

335
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: you can say, hey, it's the same thing. This happens

336
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: to the Bears all the time. The main difference between

337
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: these two teams is JJ McCarthy is Kevin O'Connell's guy.

338
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: And in pro sports that really matters, especially when it

339
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: comes to the NFL and it draft picks, specifically quarterbacks.

340
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: That is my guy. I will run through a wall

341
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: and do anything for him. You see it all over

342
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: the league, right. Obviously, when people have success, Andy and

343
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. But even through the struggles of twenty four

344
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: hours ago in Denver, bo Nicks is Sean Payton's guy,

345
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: brock Perty is Kyle Shanahan's guy. Kevin O'Connell and JJ

346
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: McCarthy are tied and connected at the hip, no different

347
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: than Adam Peters and Dan Quinn with Jaden Daniels. Ben

348
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: Johnson did in draft this guy and listen because I

349
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: didn't described to the substack. I couldn't read the last

350
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: article of the three part series. But you lose games

351
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: the offense sputters. This is when you get problems, and

352
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: the other thing is internally in the locker room. The

353
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: defensive guy's gotta be going. We played our ass off

354
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: our all pro corner didn't even play to night, and

355
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: we were dominating this game. We were making this guy

356
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: look like he should have been a practice squad quarterback.

357
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: We were kicking his ass, and instead of being up

358
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: seventeen to six, if we had a little more juice

359
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, maybe we're up

360
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: twenty eight to six. And we're up so much that

361
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: even if JJ is mentally tough and Kevin O'Connell is

362
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: an exceptional coach. They don't have enough firepower to come back.

363
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: It's not even possible. But because the offense did nothing,

364
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: they were still in the game. And I saw to

365
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: Night one team with a brand new quarterback. Caleb has

366
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: all those starts last year, right, So early in the

367
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: game you saw JJ deering the headline. He first NFL

368
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: start on the road Chicago, Like not an easy spot.

369
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: Caleb as seventeen starts last season, right, so it's yeah,

370
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: he was much more calm, much more in control. But

371
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: then the game goes and the script's thrown out the window.

372
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: You're calling plays, you're audibling flores is, you know, dialing

373
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: up different blitz is, different pressures. They got guys moving

374
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: all over and it's like, I don't know what's going on.

375
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: And that's Chicago of just like this is something in

376
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: a monitor. I'm not jumping off this hill because I

377
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's got an opportunity to get weird,

378
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: and it's got an opportunity to get weird. This weekend,

379
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: going back into Detroit, who just got curb stopped by

380
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, thoroughly embarrassed. I haven't had a

381
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: chance to watch any of Dan Campbell's press conferences, but

382
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine after the game on Sunday he was

383
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: pretty hot. He's gonna be really motivated. We've seen a

384
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: lot of clips over the years of like the hard

385
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: knock stuff behind the scenes of him at just in

386
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: front of the team. This is gonna be a big

387
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: moment for him, especially with Ben Johnson coming back. So

388
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: the Bears better be really careful. Before you blink, it

389
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: could be oh and two. So massive, massive win for Minnesota,

390
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: massive gut check for JJ McCarthy. And if you're a

391
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: Vikings fan, I would be sleeping pretty well. And if

392
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm a Bears fan, I go, what the hell? Man?

393
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Can we ever win? Why does this happen to it?

394
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: No matter how good our players are, no matter how

395
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: sexy the start of our games are, no matter how fun.

396
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: That national anthem in the beginning of the game was

397
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: we're dominating our divisional opponent. When the clock hits double zero,

398
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:46,000

422
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: speaking about a guy that just wins. I think most

423
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: people in life it is it's much easier to go

424
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: no and just say no and take the conservative route, Like, yeah,

425
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask her out. She'll probably say no.

426
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna call this guy. He probably won't,

427
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, be interested in what I'm selling. You know.

428
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: It's like I could take this job, but I gotta move,

429
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: and it's like I like my life, I like my gig.

430
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: Now it's a great opportunity. Most human beings just naturally

431
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: take the easy route slash convince themselves to go the

432
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: conservative way. It's human nature. I'm guilty of this too.

433
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: We all are. There is a small percentage of people

434
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: that one percent never think that way, and their first

435
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: reaction is always like why not, why can't we do it?

436
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: Let's do it? How can we do it? What do

437
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: we have to do to get there? And I had

438
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: a front row seat for two years. When I got

439
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: hired from Fresno State to the Philadelphia Eagles. I had

440
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: never been around a guy like Howlie Roseman never in

441
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: my whatever twenty five years of life to that point

442
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: in time, the aggressive nature just how it was one

443
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour every moment we were in the office,

444
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: and it was an incredible learning experience for me. I

445
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: felt like I was drinking out of a fire hose

446
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: because even when I was around other football people previous places,

447
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: it was like, ah, yeah, we're not going to get

448
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: that guy. We don't need to waste time doing that.

449
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: That was never tolerated in Philadelphia. It was a mentality

450
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: of looking at minimum every rock and even once you

451
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: pull up that rock and look under, look on the

452
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: other side as well. And Jay Glazer came out on

453
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: Fox's Morning show and gave a report Maybe it was

454
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: out there, but I hadn't seen it that said that

455
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman aggressively tried to trade for Micah Parsons and

456
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: actually had a better offer than the Green Bay Packers. Now,

457
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: obviously Jerry Jones, you know, would probably fold the franchise

458
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: before he was gonna trade Micah Parsons to the Eagles. Now,

459
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: I do think if Howie would have added like three

460
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: first round picks or comes to a point where yeah,

461
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: your fans are gonna hate you. Everyone's gonna want you

462
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: to sell the team and hate you until the day

463
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: you die. But the deal, if you were gonna be

464
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: willing to trade him, you would have to trade him.

465
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: But you know, the deal was close enough that you

466
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: trade him to the Green Bay Packers. And then today

467
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: I look up and how he's traded for a running

468
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: back just out of the blue, because Tank Bigsby the

469
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: running back in Jacksonville. Obviously ETN had a big first

470
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: game for Liam Cohen and they got a backup from

471
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. It feels like he's just not in the mix.

472
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: So how he's like, yeah, we'll give a fifth and

473
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: a six round pick for a guy that was drafting

474
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: the third round a couple of years ago. So does

475
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: this guy ever stop doing deals the NFL. This is

476
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: not baseball where it's like, yeah, you know, the Dodgers

477
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: have eight hundred million dollars, The Mets can give Juan

478
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: Soto three billion dollars, right the Yankees like, oh, they

479
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: just signed another guy for five hundred million dollars. There

480
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: is a group of six or seven teams that can

481
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: do that, and no one else has a shot. Even

482
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: in basketball, the Clippers, the Lakers, the Warriors, they can

483
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: sign guys to go over thresholds to then pay luxury

484
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: tax the Knicks that other teams cannot. So it's not

485
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: really equal team to team. Yet in football, if Mike

486
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: Brown wanted to trade two first round picks and give

487
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons the eight hundred or the one hundred and

488
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: eighty eight million dollars, he could have done that. He

489
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: chose not to. And it does feel like there are

490
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: a lot of teams out here. And listen, I'm not

491
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: saying that how he's right on every deal he makes,

492
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: No one can be. But why is he involved in

493
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: every single deal in all these other teams, especially in

494
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: the AFC, where it's pretty equal, If you have one

495
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: of the top six or seven quarterbacks and they're never involved,

496
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: they're never ever involved. I understand if you don't have

497
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: a quarterback situated yet right to blow the first round

498
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: picks totally. But if you have, if you're the Bengals, well,

499
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: Hendrickson's gonna walk next year, you just draft Shamar Stewart.

500
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: We have no clue. If the guy can play, why

501
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: weren't you heavily involved of course that's not how they operate,

502
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: because they operate like the guy, Oh, we don't need

503
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: to do that, We just need the picks. We'll just now,

504
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: we'll just we'll figure it out later. Maybe we can

505
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: find a guy on the scrap heap in October. How

506
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, Mike is not available. Do you think

507
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is and you have obviously he can't do

508
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: this solo. He needs the owner to sign off on this.

509
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: But the Eagles are operating at such an advantage right now

510
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: because their general manager, and again I've seen it firsthand,

511
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: is as aggressive of a human being is I'll ever

512
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: be around my entire life. And an owner that green

513
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: lights these moves from a financial standpoint, and the reason

514
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: doesn't get out because clearly, even if the Cowboys were

515
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: willing to negotiate, they probably wanted you know, they wanted

516
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: to run stuffing guys. So I'm sure they asked for

517
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: like Jordan Davis, and if you're how you don't want

518
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: that out there. But if they would have played ball,

519
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,239
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis two one and a three would have been

520
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: there and Micah Parsons would have been an Eagle. And

521
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: I think we just need to stop being shocked like

522
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: he is making moves and doing stuff that half these

523
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: teams that should be way more involved just simply aren't.

524
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: It's why I give the Packers credit, because if the

525
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Eagles are aggressively calling, you better be aggressively calling because

526
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: you just played them in a playoff game in round

527
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: one and kind of got worked. So if you want

528
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: to take this next step, and this is why they

529
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: did it, so props to Goudikins. But and the other

530
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: thing Jay Glazer said is no one in the AFC

531
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: was even interested, Like, hey, hey, Buffalo, I just watched

532
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: your defense. What the fuck was that? You know? Thank

533
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: god you have Josh Allen, who's basically like Lebron James

534
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: meets Steph Curry in football right now, because offensively you

535
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: could use some help. And I listen, I've supported Jerry

536
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: for making the trade, but I also support Green Bay

537
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: for pulling the trigger because especially in twenty twenty five,

538
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: like they just traded Kenny Clark straight up from Michael Parsons,

539
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: Like that's the deal. Those first round picks aren't relevant

540
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: till next year. So man, I mean, the Eagles just NonStop.

541
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: What a game this weekend Kansas city hosting the Eagles,

542
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are an underdog at home. That's pretty crazy

543
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: to me. A couple more things. I think the Giants

544
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: are in a weird spot. You know, the consumer, the fan.

545
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I know, these gms and executives and owners just hate

546
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: when they dictate the terms. It's like we're just starting

547
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: them because the fans are calling into Wfan, They're bitching

548
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: and moaning online. It's it's just NonStop and sometimes it's wrong. Right,

549
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: Usually the favorite player on an any bad team as

550
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. But in this situation, like people have

551
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: a lot of evidence with Russell Wilson, they've been watching

552
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: the guy for almost a decade and a half. This

553
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: is just some random player. Like they have seen the decline.

554
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: As Colin and I talked about, it's got to be

555
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: one of the more precipitous drop offs in the history

556
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: of the league. He went from being like an all pro,

557
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: pro Bowl level, playmaking, high end guy to be in

558
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: kind of a scrub really really quick. And it's not

559
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: all his fault why the Giants just lost to the Commanders,

560
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: But there's just when you watch him play, there's no

561
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: urgency to the way he moves anymore because he's athletically,

562
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: he's fallen off a cliff. His playmaking is basically zero.

563
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: And if we're gonna lose and just get worked week

564
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: in week out, and let's say the Cowboys beat him

565
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: by ten points, why are we watching this guy? And

566
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: this isn't basketball or baseball where it's like, well, we

567
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: got seventy more games. Even if we give it ten

568
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: more games, he's gonna get sixty games. You know. In

569
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: baseball he's gonna end up playing one hundred and twenty games.

570
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: There are only seventeen of these things. And day ball's

571
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 1: in this spot, where are they gonna keep you? Because

572
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: if you just watch that first game, even if you

573
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: like the guy and you think, listen, I think he's

574
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna be right on Jackson Dart. As time goes, you

575
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: just lose enough games twenty one to six, your team

576
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: looks lifeless. Even if you throw them in November, it

577
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: might be too late. Now I've said I think the

578
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: over under is like this month. But every game that

579
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: goes by is an opportunity wasted. Because even if you're

580
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: losing games twenty four to ten, if Dart has a

581
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: couple JJ type moments, or even kleb type moments where

582
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: he scrambles around makes a sweet throw. People get off

583
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: your back, people start supporting you, especially when it gets

584
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: out because all the reports are Dable and Dart are

585
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: like this. I heard Jordan Renan say this my guy

586
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: that covers the New York Giants. When I was in Philly,

587
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: he was covering the Eagles. Then he's been on covering

588
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: this team for a long time. On Instagram. Within the

589
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: last week he was doing like a radio hit or

590
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe his podcast, and he said, when you go to practice,

591
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: there's Jamis and Russell and they're usually throwing doing stuff,

592
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: and then there's Brian day Ball walking side by side,

593
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: stride by stride with Jackson Dart like he's his little

594
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: puppy duck. And so you're tied to this guy. But

595
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: the way these marriages become a divorce is you lose

596
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: enough games. It just gets ugly and it gets convoluted

597
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it's like, well I'm fired.

598
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: It's like, well that was my guy. Well, yeah, you

599
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: only saw him play ten games and your team was

600
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: already so bad by then, so I would get him

601
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: in way sooner than later. So when I see that

602
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: he comes out and says that Russell Wilson are starting quarterback.

603
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a bad move. And so the opponent's

604
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: this the schedule, It's like, yeah, it's the NFL. It's hard,

605
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: whether you're on the road, whether you're away, whether you're

606
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: playing the Jags, or whether you're playing the Chiefs. All

607
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: these games are hard. And any guy on the other team,

608
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: they get paid a lot of money, They drive big

609
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: as cars, and they live in big homes as well,

610
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to He's gonna have to play

611
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: a tough opponent no matter what he comes from. The SEC.

612
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing at UC Davis. You know, this guy's

613
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: used to playing some tough defensive players. So I think

614
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: it'll be okay. And last but not least, I actually

615
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: had the audio. It's, you know, the one cool part

616
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: about having four box games. Even if you have two

617
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: TVs and you got like six or eight games going

618
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: at one time, you keep track, even though it is difficult.

619
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: You can follow a lot, but you can only listen

620
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: to one audio, right. You can't have all eight going.

621
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: You can't even have two going, so you basically have

622
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: to pick one audio and for most of at least

623
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: I would say sixty seventy percent of the morning I

624
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: had on Kevin Burkhart and Tom Brady. And I was

625
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: pretty critical of Tom Brady last year, even though probably

626
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: unfair given the first time he's ever called games. But

627
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: part of that is the expectation and get paid four

628
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Our expectations were high, especially because your

629
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: teammates are so famous. All I've ever heard for twenty

630
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: years like this is the coolest dude ever. Everyone loves

631
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: this guy. He can relate to the star player, to

632
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: the owner, to the practice squad guy. I've never heard

633
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: of bad things said about him. I've never heard and

634
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: I've known countless guys that have played with Tom Brady

635
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: and everyone speaks about him. I'd say the same thing

636
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: about Philip Rivers. There are certain quarterbacks Matt Stafford, Peyton Manning.

637
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: You're just gonna struggle to find anyone, whether they were

638
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: a highly paid guy or like a fringe practice squad

639
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: guy for a couple of years ago that serviced them

640
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: in practice bad amount. These guys because they're just they're

641
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: very relatable and good with people. That's what you have

642
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: to be as a quarterback natural leader. Well, being a

643
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: leader is like being able to resonate and deal with

644
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: different guys. And in the NFL you got guys from

645
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: all over the country, all different backgrounds, and obviously all

646
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: different economic statuses. When they're in the NFL, some guys

647
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: are making not much relative to other guys making millions

648
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: upon millions of dollars. And Tom was just it was,

649
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: it was rough. I watched him, he felt a lot

650
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: more comfortable. And obviously the where I went to school

651
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: at cal polyly the motto is learned by doing, And

652
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: while it is kind of cheesy, it does suit me.

653
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: Some people can learn by just studying a textbook and

654
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: go and take a test. I was a terrible standardized

655
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: test taker. I'm not great. Academia didn't serve me great

656
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: because sitting me at a desk and showing me power

657
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: points and then just having me regurgitate that I check

658
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: out two minutes in. But when I do something hands on,

659
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: whatever that may be, it gives me a way better

660
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to learn. So I've been doing podcasts and I've

661
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: been doing radio now for a decade. And the more

662
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: you do anything, the more comfortable you get. I've never

663
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: done national TV, but I went and did colin this

664
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: summer and it wasn't intimidating. Why because I've been talking

665
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: about this stuff with a mic or a you know,

666
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: an ear whatever in the local level, national level. It

667
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: just becomes easier the more you do it. And listen

668
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady, like, is he Trey Aikman? No, Treykman's

669
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: been doing it for twenty five years. But did he

670
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: sound more comfortable in the booth? He did? And like, hell,

671
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: I was listening to JJ Watt, who sounded a little

672
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: green now in fairness first game he's doing. Now. I

673
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: struggle like personally what I like in my broadcaster. You know,

674
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: whatever a broadcaster says, you know, it's gonna be very

675
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: hard for me to be critical. It's like, well, no

676
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: one's expecting you to be like Steven A or Skip Bayless.

677
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: You don't just need a shit on everyone every play.

678
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: But like, there's millions of people watching, and when something

679
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: really stupid happens, you kind of got to embrace it

680
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: and listen. You know, JJ's calling his brother's game. Kind

681
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: of a weird spot, but it was a very positive broadcast.

682
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: You know, I lean like I like my broadcast to

683
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: let some singers go. Aikman's a little more my style.

684
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: Collinsworth is. You know, he's just good at his job,

685
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: pretty positive, upbeat guy. But there's a different strug for

686
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: different folks. I do think whatever version of Brady that

687
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: he was on Sunday and just can be moving forward.

688
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: He's never gonna be John Madden or John Rude. I

689
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't call him like an entertainer, but he could just

690
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: be a functional Obviously, he's really famous. Guy knows his shit,

691
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: knows all these guys can just be solid. Because someone

692
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: tweeted at me like it's like Jason Garrett two point zero, No,

693
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: Tom is way way. Jason Garrett's the worst broadcaster, worst

694
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: guy on television. When it comes to the NFL games,

695
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: And when NBC comes up and you see his smile

696
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: ear to ear and that redhead, you just want to

697
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: throw something into television. You're like, in what world did

698
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: this NBC executive tell themselves that America wants to see

699
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: this individual? I can't get over it. But they view

700
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett as a star and he's terrible. And even

701
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: Drew Brees I saw he was saying that he got

702
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to call games, he'd be a top three guy.

703
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: It's like Drew, we heard you last year, a couple

704
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: of years ago. It wasn't great, you know. I mean,

705
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: we've heard enough guys not saying you can't improve, you

706
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: can't be better, but top three guy, like, no, I

707
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: bought the brakes. Everybody, it's this, this is entertainment and

708
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: that's the one thing Brady can he Ever, it's probably

709
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: hard because he doesn't want to throw in an F

710
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: word or something. Just kind of balance the football knower,

711
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: the guy that knows coaches and the players are all

712
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: texting them and he just knows his shit to then

713
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: also be like the guys guy and that's what you know,

714
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: the Maddens, the Grudens, they were just great entertainers. And

715
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's it's why most, let's face it, most broadcasts,

716
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: if you're just clicking around the audio on and I'm

717
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: not acting like it's easy, like I have no I

718
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: respect the profession. People go, would you ever want to No,

719
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: I have no desire to do it. One. It's not

720
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: even fun to me, and I'm it is difficult. But

721
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: it's why when guys are good, they really really stand

722
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: out because you can balance kind of like having fun

723
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: but knowing your stuff, or are you just very comfortable

724
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: in your own skin? Like Aikman's pretty serious, but he'll

725
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: let a rip, you know, And he's one of the

726
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: few and honestly might be the only guy that will

727
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: be really really critical of coaches and players. But for

728
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: the most cart player like, you drop the ball, you

729
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: drop a ball, You know, what are you gonna say? Ceede, lamb,

730
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: he dropped another ball? Okay, Like, what do you want

731
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: to do? Cut him? I mean, he's one of the

732
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: best receivers in the league. Drop balls. It happens. Terrell

733
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Owens didn't have great hands. Not everyone's Marvin Harrison, right,

734
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice? Like, I mean, guys drop the ball. Fumbles,

735
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: they happen. Now you're gonna cut it tomorrow? Well, if

736
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: you started running BA, you're probably not going to. So

737
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys, when they get

738
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: into it, they feel like we don't want to be critical.

739
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: Like I think you guys watch probably too much Internet

740
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: and too much like first take clips. That's not what

741
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: people expect. But when a coach says something stupid, you

742
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: can blast the coach and you should feel more room

743
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: to blast the coach than the players, because, let's face it,

744
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the coaches you're either a coaching are

745
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: allowed to happen, right, So it's like Caleb to Night,

746
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: Was that on Caleb or is that on Ben Johnson?

747
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: Those questions are only going to a rise. I'll promise

748
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: you this. Ben Johnson is not gonna like it. Okay,

749
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: it's Monday. I thought, you know what, Let's do a

750
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: little mail bag at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff Instagram,

751
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: fire and those dms. Get your questions answered here on

752
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: the show. We will start with Michael. If Daniel Jones

753
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: continues to play like he did against Miami, do you

754
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: think that could influence the Giants to fire day ball

755
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: or maybe influence him to start dart earlier than expected

756
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: to help save his job. Well, he played Denver this week,

757
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: which I think is on the opposite end of Miami.

758
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: In terms of defense, Miami is a joke defensively, I

759
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: mean their corners. It's like, I mean, I don't even

760
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: think some of these guys would start on the best

761
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 1: defenses in college. I mean, it's pretty embarrassing. So going

762
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: against Denver is a completely different animal. And I'm not

763
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna live on a weekly basis if I'm Giants' ownership.

764
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: If i'm I would say the coach or the GM

765
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: of the Giants like they made their decision, it was

766
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: the right decision when they cut them like it was

767
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: because he didn't. You know, the divorce made sense now

768
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: if you want to rewind it to the contract. Who

769
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: was behind the contract, who wanted the contract? Was that

770
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: led by ownership, which by all accounts it was. I

771
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of variables here. But unless

772
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: the guy like like what Saquon did last year Super

773
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: Bowl two K number one player in the league, non quarterback,

774
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: that would look bad. But he's not gonna do that.

775
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: He was always gonna beat out Anthony Rigson dramatically better

776
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: than Anthony Richardson. So I honestly, I think it's a

777
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: bigger indictment on Anthony Richardson than it is on the Giants.

778
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: So I guess that's a long winded way of saying

779
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: I don't think it has much impact. With the Dolphins

780
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: looking like an absolute disaster. Do you think there is

781
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: any chance of a Baseball like fire sale where the

782
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: Fins trade offs a significant number of vets. Ed Rusher, Phillips,

783
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: Judon Chubb, a Chan Hill, Waddle are all positions of

784
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: needs for various contenders. Why don't more NFL teams make

785
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: significant roster reductions at the deadline like we see in

786
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball or the NBA. I think the best

787
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: way I guess to approach it is in baseball A

788
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: lot of times, right, if I'm selling a guy, typically,

789
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 1: I'm like, the Pirates aren't gonna sell Paul Skins until

790
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: they have to pay him five hundred million dollars. Right

791
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: in football, I can pay whoever I want the lowest

792
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: quote unquote money teams relative to the quote unquote rich teams.

793
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: Everyone has money to pay their players. So if I

794
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: like Jalen Waddle, I've already paid Jalen Waddle, I want

795
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Wattle on my roster if I'm gonna fire everybody

796
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: because the new coach is gonna want to work.

797
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: With that guy.

798
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: Same thing you know in theory with Chubb or some

799
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: of these guys. Now, like Tyreek Hill, what's his value?

800
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it would vary team to team. I mean,

801
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: there are teams that are just not gonna mess with them. Now, like,

802
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: would Andy ever go down that road? I would guess no,

803
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: would the Bills. They need defense, so who's really messing

804
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: with him? The pass rushers and defensive lineman for sure.

805
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: But I just don't think that's how teams really think.

806
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: Occasionally like a fire sale with a veteran player. Remember

807
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: when they traded Von Miller, But that was because they

808
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: weren't going to resign him. So I think teams go,

809
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: we want to have assets on our team, And why

810
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: am I gonna Jalen Waddle, Who's one of the best

811
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: players on my team. If the best offers I'm getting

812
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: are like third round picks, even if I'm getting second

813
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: round picks. I drafted the guy high, he's been really productive,

814
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: why am I just giving him away to someone else?

815
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: So I don't need the cap flexibility. I want to

816
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: have good players on my team. So I think in

817
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: baseball it typically has to do with money. In basketball,

818
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen as much as he used to, really,

819
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: unless the guy demands a trade. Question. After last night,

820
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: can the media and the talking heads finally have a

821
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: conversation about John Harbaugh. I've been saying for three years

822
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: we outplay the best teams, but get out coached every

823
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: single time. After last night and the other countless games

824
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: we've lost like this, I don't understand how he couldn't

825
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: be on the hot seat. I get it, it's week

826
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: one and it sounds like an overreaction, but a lot

827
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: of our fan base has been tired of Harball. Just

828
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: go on a Ravens page after a game, or go

829
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: to a Ravens game, and people are tired of him.

830
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: And just one quick example from last night, the offensive

831
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: drive where we could have ended the game, How is

832
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: a head coach? Are you okay with the play calling sequence?

833
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: A jet sweep on second and ten? When you run

834
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: that play four fucking times already, you got guys crowded

835
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: in the box? Unreal? Well, he's not the offensive play caller,

836
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: So that is where the CEO head coach sometimes, you know.

837
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: And he's a defensive guy. Listen. His resume speaks for itself.

838
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: He's won a lot of games. But I think we

839
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 1: need to now ask ourselves, like, they have an all

840
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: time great quarterback, they have an all time great organization.

841
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: Their team is always loaded. Like you're watching him last night,

842
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: You're like, God, they got good players everywhere even the

843
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: first round are a couple of years ago from Clemson Wiggins.

844
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: It's like they drafted that guy at the end of

845
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: the first round and he's just making plays out there

846
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: at dB. I mean, every single time they draft guys,

847
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: they're just good. So he has an organization that drafts

848
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: players at an extremely high level. They hit a home

849
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: run with the quarterback even making moves like Derrick Henry,

850
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: and it just goes like, how are they not winning.

851
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 2: A Super Bowl?

852
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: And I'm not betting on them to win a super

853
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: Bowl just because something about their organization. It's like losing

854
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: that game last night is kind of symbolic of the

855
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh Lamar Jackson experience. Now you ain't firing Lamar Jackson.

856
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: My question is this, and this is where I think

857
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: these teams getting tough a tough spot. Let's say you

858
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: win thirteen games and you get knocked out in the

859
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: second round, the Bills, the Chiefs, whoever beat you. Who

860
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: are you hiring? Because I think that's always the pushback

861
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: is like who are you hiring? Because if I fire

862
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, what is the landscape of coaches last year?

863
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: Like are you firing John Harbaugh for Mike a probably

864
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: not very similar guys. I would say they kind of

865
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: carbon copy of the type coach, right, Ben Johnson, though

866
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: wagonet Ben Johnson with Lamar Jackson, I would have done that. Now,

867
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: you're not gonna fire him last year, But I think

868
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: that's the question you have to ask before we just

869
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: fire him, because you're not just gonna blindly fire John Harbaugh.

870
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: But that loss, and they had some of them last year.

871
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's a defensive, tough guy, and sometimes their

872
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: teams just kind of fall apart. Now, I don't put

873
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: Dereck Henry fumbling on him. And you know, sometimes great

874
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: offense beats great defense nowadays in the NFL because of

875
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: the rules, right, I think the Ravens are pretty good

876
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: on defense, but there are certain rules and limitations that

877
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: you can't just decapitate people like you could back in

878
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: the day, So it makes comebacks more possible a lot

879
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: like in the NBA with a three point shot. You know,

880
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: I think in like two thousand and seven, you would

881
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: just be so physical that the Josh Allen they couldn't

882
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: have come back. But nowadays the rules on the side

883
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: of offense and just naturally sometimes teams let their guard down.

884
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: But he's going to become a really polarizing coach like

885
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermals is pretty polarizing. And they're basically doing the

886
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: same thing. And if we just basically, well, you won

887
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, Well, yeah, back in twenty twelve. It's

888
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, twenty twelve. I works for the Philadelphia Eagles.

889
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: That was a long time ago, right, Think about what

890
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: you were doing in twenty twelve, some people, if you're

891
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: like twenty five, I mean, that would have been what

892
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: thirteen years you were like twelve years old. Didn't you

893
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: even have a hair on your arms or on your nuts.

894
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm currently watching the Dolphins get boat raced by the Colts.

895
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: I think it's inevitable that they trade Tyreek this season,

896
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: though I don't think they will be able to get

897
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: quite the Hall that some might think given his age

898
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: and contract. Let me emphasize that they will not get

899
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: a hole for Tyreek. They would just be giving him away.

900
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: With Worthy going down Week one, and the Chiefs obviously

901
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 1: still amongst the best in the AFC, but may need

902
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: a little boost with the wide receiver injury suspensions. What

903
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: percent odds do you see are an in season trade

904
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: of Tyreek. Going back to the Chiefs, what kind of

905
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: trade package would the Chiefs have to give up for

906
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: a year or two of Tyreek? You never know. Things change,

907
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: and anytime that you come up short in the Super Bowl,

908
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: I think I saw the headline today. Worthy as day

909
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: to day. So it's not like he's gonna miss a

910
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: month like George Kittle today the hamstring injury. He's gonna

911
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: be out a month, that's gonna be, that's gonna be

912
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: a minute. You know, by all accounts, Worthy is not

913
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna miss that much time. I was told pretty reliably.

914
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: I had safe to say, I know a lot of

915
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: people there that that's never happening again. Now this was

916
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, eight months ago, just because like going

917
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: into the offseason, I was starting to think, like, could

918
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: they Tyreek get traded? Could the Chiefs get him for

919
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: like a third or fourth round pick? And I think

920
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: that ship sailed by all accounts. Now, you can never

921
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: say never. Andy could change his mind. Veach has a

922
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: lot of influence. Maybe he could talk him into it.

923
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Veach is not that interested. And so I would

924
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: as sitting here on September eighth, I would say that's

925
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: not happening question for the back from Gilbert Arizona. My neighbor,

926
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: my buddy and I were debating what's better to have

927
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Sean mcvicveay, Kyle Shanahaner or Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes,

928
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: Burrow or Lamar. If you're starting a team from scratch

929
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: and you have the number one pick in a complete

930
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: do over, in a complete doover for the league, so

931
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: players and coaches can be taken, do you take the

932
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: quarterback or a coach? With the number one pick, you

933
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: would take the quarterback. You would one million percent take

934
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Now at what quarterback? Do you yet? Where

935
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: you go? I'd rather have Andy Reid, and I think

936
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: you're talking like six or seven because the list you

937
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: gave it would be Mahomes, Alan, Lamar, Burrow in some order.

938
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would take Josh Allen

939
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: number one, but Mahomes. I think in everyone's order it

940
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: would go somewhat Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes or Patrick Mahomes

941
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Then I think Lamar and Burrow depending on

942
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 1: what type. I guess who's making this pick, a GM

943
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: or an owner because Lamar easily could go three, but

944
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: I think there would be some people taking Burrow, but regardless,

945
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: they would go four. I think Herbert and Jayden Daniels

946
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: in some order would go five and six. I think

947
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: once you got past them, it's like, would I rather

948
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: have Andy Reid or C. J. Strout. I'd rather have

949
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: Andy Reid? Would I rather have Kyle Shanahan or C. J.

950
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 2: Stratt.

951
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Andy Reid, Dak Prescott, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts,

952
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: Like would I rather have Jalen Hurts or Andy Reid?

953
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: Come on, Andy Reid, so as it shows you like

954
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: these guys. Jalen Hurts has won Super Bowl, played really well,

955
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: so I think that line gets drawn pretty quick. It's

956
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 1: only the quarterback quarterbacks that I know. One carry a coach.

957
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: If you need coaching with your quarterback like Jared Goff,

958
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, all those type guys, I'm going coach because

959
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: would I rather have like Andy Reid with Dak Prescott,

960
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan with Brock Purty, or would I rather have

961
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and Zach Taylor. The question was pre Chargers

962
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: game might not be the year for Kansas City. As

963
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: a Kansas City resident and fan. I'm devastated. Listen, they

964
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: played in that game a million times last year. Everyone

965
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: I've seen talk about that game going God, they just

966
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: didn't look that good. They kind of looked like they

967
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: did last year, like that's how they played. They're comfortable

968
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: in that environment. Now their defense was getting shredded. Not ideal.

969
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 1: I also think they don't you know, the way they

970
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: operate in the preseason. He gets after it. They're big

971
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: on peaking in November and December. Are you're probably gonna

972
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? Odds would be stacked against you.

973
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: You're gonna make your six Super Bowl in seven years

974
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: or whatever? Probably not, but you're gonna be You're gonna

975
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: be good. You're gonna be okay. Coachings do good. Big

976
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: game this week. I think it's pretty insane that they're

977
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: an underdog at home against the Eagles.

978
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy.

979
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: I would expect the Chiefs to come out and play

980
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: pretty well. I like the Chiefs in that game. With

981
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: the NFL expanding and going more global than ever, do

982
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: you think there will ever be a time where there

983
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: is an eighteen game schedule with one international game every week.

984
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: If so, where could it end? Could there be could

985
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 1: there ever be an International super Bowl? Just curious in

986
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: your thoughts. I've been asked this question before. I do

987
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: think it's inevitable. When we get to eighteen games, there's

988
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 1: gonna be an international package. So basically like Thursday Night

989
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: Football starts this week and goes to like Christmas, so

990
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: basically every team. It used to be every team had

991
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: to play on Thursday Night Football. Now you can get

992
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: doubled up because of TV ratings. I do think it's

993
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: inevitable in the new television deal that starting week two

994
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 1: or week three up until probably a week before Christmas,

995
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: every team will play an international series. Now, the difference

996
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: between the international series and Thursday Night games. You know,

997
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: a team like Jacksonville or just Miami, whoever, East Coast

998
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: teams in London, in Germany and whatever could double up

999
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: and play back to back home games. But I do

1000
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: think that the next television set up, however, that when

1001
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: I say deal, I mean it's YouTube had seventeen million

1002
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: people watching the game. What game would that have been?

1003
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: That was a Chiefs game. Thursday Night Football had like

1004
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: thirty million people, and that was down because there was

1005
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: a big rain delay for an hour. Don't blame anyone

1006
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: for turn it off. I would say this that, however, PLA,

1007
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: he's out with Netflix, Amazon, Fox, ABCCBS a lot of

1008
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: moving parts. Obviously, I think we get for fifteen straight

1009
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: weeks a six thirty Pacific Standard time kickoff, which, as

1010
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: someone on the West Coast I listen, I like getting

1011
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: up Sunday morning. Now that you know, I've actually really

1012
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: morphed as I've gotten older, Like I don't do anything

1013
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: on Saturday night anymore. Those days are over because Sunday

1014
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: is just too long of a day. I got to

1015
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: be clear headed. I can't be hungover at all. So

1016
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: I basically treat it like most human beings would treat

1017
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: a Monday. And I'm out of bed at like six fifteen,

1018
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: six thirty and try to be at the gym by

1019
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: seven seven thirty, and because I want to do some

1020
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: physical activity before I'm just sitting all day, which again

1021
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about making money off watching football, but

1022
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: like when you just sit on your couch for essentially

1023
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: nine hours and do multiple podcasts, I gotta do some

1024
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: activity in the morning, and I don't really have time

1025
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: during the day because football's on, So I don't want

1026
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,720
Speaker 1: that morning game. Now, maybe I wouldn't even care anyway,

1027
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: because sometimes they're on I'm not even paying attention. But

1028
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: I do think it's inevitable, and I don't know if

1029
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: that's what people want. But I don't want to speak

1030
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: for everyone else because I'll tell you where I stand

1031
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: on the Monday night doubleheader. I guess I understand it

1032
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: from they can accumulate more total viewers. But I've thought

1033
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: a huge part of about playing a primetime game Thursday night,

1034
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Monday night is getting it to yourself. That's

1035
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: a really, really big deal. It used to be a

1036
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: really big deal when I was at Fresne State that

1037
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: the Mountain West Conference or the Whack Conference at the

1038
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: time had contracts with ESPN for Friday night games. So

1039
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: you would get a Friday night game against Boise, against

1040
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: Nevada or whatever, and you were the only game on television.

1041
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: So it was a really big selling point. It's like, hey,

1042
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: we're just the only football game Friday night on television

1043
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: around the country.

1044
00:56:49,400 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's clearly over.

1045
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: Coming off the calf scare. Did you see Kyle run

1046
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: CMC twenty two times and target him nine times in

1047
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: the passing game? It's the most touches he's gotten since

1048
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: Week fifteen in twenty twenty two. Does the guy even

1049
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: make it to October? I know that was Robinson's first

1050
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: game and his usage will go up, but holy shit, man,

1051
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: do you think Kyle makes the same mistakes again driving

1052
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: him into the ground. I sometimes the Niners can be

1053
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: weird with injuries. Obviously they get injured a lot. But

1054
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: for him to leave practice on Thursday and then Friday,

1055
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: not really do anything, but then be interviewed after practice

1056
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: on Friday and say I'm completely fine, and then like

1057
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: you say, I mean, he counted for almost one hundred

1058
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: and fifty yards in the passing game and in the

1059
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: running game, and he has just taken shot after shot.

1060
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: Kyle's not a big spread the wealth around. And I

1061
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: appreciate Brian Robinson. I definitely liked him a couple of

1062
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: years ago, and I'm not gonna make any overarching judgments

1063
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: based on one performance. He looked a little slow to me.

1064
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if they traded for him to motivate

1065
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: their other guy, Grendo, because Grendo last year, toward the

1066
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: end of the season was coming on. He's a Blazer.

1067
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: The big running back from Louisville, but they clearly just

1068
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: traded for Brian Robinson immediately made him the two. I

1069
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: thought there was one play on like a it was

1070
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: like a pitch play where Trent Williams pulls. He's like

1071
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: a left tackle and he pulls like basically kind of

1072
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: like runs a loop toward the dB slash safety and

1073
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: if Brian Robinson could cut it inside, he would have

1074
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: been like a forty yard game. McCaffrey would have busted

1075
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: out a big run. But he's ran into Trent who's

1076
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: literally blocking the dB or safety into the like into

1077
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: the water cooler. I mean he runs into him. So

1078
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: wasn't that impressed. Again, Game one wins a win, but

1079
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: their backup running back situation is atrocious. I understand the

1080
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: criticism against the Patriots. They looked terrible in the second half. However,

1081
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: I think putting too much blame on Drake May. He

1082
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: threw forty six passes and in the first half they

1083
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: were letting him throw ten to twenty yards down the field.

1084
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: I think the bigger problem was their inability to run

1085
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: the ball. For most of the second half. Henderson had

1086
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: five carries that won't cut it. I think it's impossible

1087
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: for young quarterbacks to succeed when the team abandons the run. Also,

1088
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: the secondary was horrendous. Listen, here's what I'll say about

1089
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: Drake May. He just didn't pass the eye test yesterday.

1090
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he sucks. It doesn't mean that it

1091
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: wasn't just an outlier bad game. My expectations were higher.

1092
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: But I also said yesterday that I have just assumed

1093
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is a good play caller like Sean McVay,

1094
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, Kyle Laflor. We have seen those guys work

1095
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: with countless different quarterbacks, kind of tweaked their offense, change stuff,

1096
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: make things happen. What if Josh McDaniels is only good

1097
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady, but if that's the only way he

1098
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: can operate, that's very possible, right. And Drake May's downfall

1099
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: might be that he got Josh mcganial's forced on him,

1100
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: because let's be real, that wasn't Rabel's guy. That was

1101
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: the Crafts And part of getting a job like Mike

1102
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: got is like you're not gonna battle the owner in

1103
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: the quote unquote boss on everything. Some things you give

1104
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: in on, and it's like who were his options. He

1105
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: couldn't get Arthur Smith, he couldn't get some of his guys.

1106
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: So he's like, yeah, we'll just it's in theory, it

1107
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: makes some sense. But what if Drake too much is

1108
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: on his plate. He just there's something like, I don't

1109
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: want to say unnatural, but something was just missing. Again,

1110
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: doesn't define his career. My expectations for him might have

1111
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: been unfairly high. But I just saw a guy that

1112
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: just wasn't like a little robotic, wasn't that fluid making play,

1113
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: just looked a little out of sorts. Now he doesn't

1114
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: have the most talented group around him. As someone DM me.

1115
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Will Campbell looked like a tiny little dude getting smoked.

1116
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Now he was banged up too, But yeah, I mean

1117
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders worked him. I mean, think about it, and

1118
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Colin and I talked about this. The Raiders have the

1119
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: best player in the game. They had the second best

1120
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: player in the game. They had the quarterback advantage, Like

1121
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: Gino is a much better player right now than Drake

1122
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: may Honestly, it's not even close. Raiders offensive line is

1123
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: playing well. Raiders are just better coached. But I got

1124
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly out here scheming guys open left and right.

1125
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't worked in the NFL in forever. And Skinny

1126
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Josh the Patriot guys, I'll get on ozembic once you

1127
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: know Patricia's on it. McDaniel's clearly on it. These guys

1128
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: lose a ton of weight. Still can't call play. Patricia can,

1129
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: but he's got a little easier at all House morning.

1130
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: Maybe the Lions should try to snag Mike McDaniel for

1131
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: the OC when he's fired. I feel like I'm beating

1132
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: a dead horse here. I don't know the guy. This

1133
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: is nothing against him personally, feels like football guys really

1134
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: like him. But why would they never make Johnny Moore

1135
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: in their offensive coordinator? Sean Payton loved him, John Gruden

1136
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: loved him. Well, why didn't they make this guy their

1137
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator? Now he's fifty five and he takes over

1138
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: this offense that everyone's like, oh, she's a loaded offense.

1139
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: And he realized, well, they lost their center to a retirement,

1140
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,439
Speaker 1: they lost a guard to the Titans, so there's only

1141
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: five guys on the offensive line. So I just removed

1142
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: forty percent of it. And there was a big part

1143
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: of like the ingenuity, creativity, and just instincts of Ben

1144
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Johnson that made the operation pretty special. Remember when they

1145
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: did the fake fumble because Jordan Love against the Bears

1146
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 1: tripped and fell and everyone froze and then he got

1147
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: up and he threw the touchdown. And Ben Johnson tried to,

1148
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, replicate that same thing with Jared Goff and

1149
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: he told him to fumble on purpose and then Gof's like, oh,

1150
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: I can't fumble on purpose. He's like, well, can you

1151
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: kind of fall halfway? And then kind of figured it out,

1152
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: like is Johnny Morton bringing that to the table. And

1153
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: here's the other thing whenever I hear because I saw

1154
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell say this in an interview sometime during training camp.

1155
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: He was bragging and I don't mean this like he

1156
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to hype the guy up. He was just saying,

1157
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy how often Johnny Morton is in the facility,

1158
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: essentially saying he's got like the Grudini him. He's there

1159
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,439
Speaker 1: at the crack of dawn, like, I do not care.

1160
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: I have never once been told how many hours Ben

1161
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: Johnson works. Probably works a lot, but it does not matter. Honestly,

1162
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes that scares me, Like you're not smart enough, Like

1163
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: you're there at three am to twelve pm, are you

1164
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: not good enough? Because if you're working that long at

1165
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: this point in time in your career and not moving

1166
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: up the ladder like I just got your red flat, Like,

1167
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I do think defensively they will be okay. We have

1168
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: seen this transition. We saw in Baltimore high level defensive coordinator.

1169
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: They go with the former player and it just takes

1170
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: a little time, but it works out. So I do

1171
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: think same type deal Aaron Glenn, who's also a former player,

1172
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: that they go with the linebacker coach, former player. I

1173
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be okay offensively though that is

1174
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: not like because part of defense motivation, toughness, obviously you

1175
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: got to have the schematics. But I think they'll be

1176
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: okay offensively. I would be terrified. Do you think there's

1177
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: a chance that Nick Saban would go to Florida in

1178
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: light of Billy's struggles and inability to cement himself in

1179
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: the program. I think Saban's done, you know. I think

1180
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: the big difference for like Pete Carroll and obviously Bill,

1181
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: if Atlanta would have hired him, I think, deep down,

1182
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: like the business didn't change, so they just thought like, hey,

1183
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: I ran Its course, I got fired. Whatever, I still

1184
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: want to coach in the NFL. The salary cap trades

1185
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: the draft like fair, not like they believe they can

1186
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: do it. You know, Belichick believes it's funny. I had

1187
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: so many people texting me like, do you think you

1188
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: pissed them off? Like piss them off, guys. They're embracing this.

1189
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: They hate Bill and Lombardi hate the NFL right now,

1190
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: especially the Patriots. This was not some story. If I

1191
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: had leaked let's say, like a month ago, and I'm not.

1192
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Let's say let's say I texted Howie. I'm like, hey,

1193
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 1: you want Micah Parsons. He's like, yeah, I'm trying to

1194
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 1: get him right now. Jerry will never trade him to us.

1195
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: But I'm throwing some I'm throwing some stuff on the table.

1196
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: I put aj Brown and two ones on the table.

1197
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm just let's just hypothetically. Obviously it didn't happen. But

1198
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: let's say I just put that out there. Well, how

1199
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: he would be furious. He's like, you can't I told

1200
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,919
Speaker 1: you that in confidence. This is not These people didn't

1201
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: tell me this. This just Bill who hates the Patriots,

1202
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and every human knows. This isn't something people are trying

1203
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: to hide. This isn't some under the wrap story. So

1204
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: like Saban has said, like I don't like get l

1205
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: This thing ain't fair, and I think the SEC programs

1206
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and he mentioned this on College Game Day are at

1207
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: a disadvantage. It's why in theory, like North Carolina they

1208
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: got some big pockets. But you know, is Belichick gonna

1209
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: be a tightwad and not pay the guy's money. But

1210
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: he's not coming back. I think Saban's retired for good.

1211
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Other than that, Yeah, we'll wrap up on that one.

1212
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: So Billy Napier, start packing that office right now, Buddy.

1213
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: The volume
