30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: during the late part, you know, the playoffs, I start

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: watching some NBA stuff in December a little bit, then

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: in January, but I'm really locked in on the NFL.

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: And then NFL season ends, I go on vacation, I

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: come back and I start watching a couple games a night.

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: So tonight I sat down and said, you know, I'm

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: watching Dubs Nicks. We hit our DraftKings Parlay tonight our

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: three teamer. We took the Warriors to beat the Knicks

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: in New York without Andrew Wiggins. They win. We took

39
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Draymond Green to have over five and a half assists

40
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: and Steph Curry to have over twenty seven and a

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: half points again. Julius Randall doesn't play for the next

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: he's been out a while. And Andrew Wiggins didn't play

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: for the Warriors, but they've won seven straight road games.

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this, I really have reservations. And

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: there are a lot of times you'll see a really

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: good young team, like Oklahoma City is really good. They're

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: not getting to the NBA Finals. They're just too young.

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Sga Holmgren are really good players. But this is a

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: man's league. In fact, that's what's interesting about the Warriors

50
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: is right now they have three young players they're going

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: to have to count on in the playoffs to some

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: degree to win. Now. Jonathan Kaminga is a kid I

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: talked about two years ago. I came out of high school,

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: went to the G League. I remember the first time

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: I saw him, it was like a second or third game.

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this kid's gon special, really long,

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: really twitchy, really dynamic. But he's only twenty one years

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: old now and he's been in the league like two

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and a half years. You know, he wouldn't even be

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: in the league yet as a college football player. To

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's why you have to be so patient.

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, in the NFL, if you come in and

63
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback, I'll give you until Thanksgiving of your

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: second year. By that time, you know, Daniel Jones, it's

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: not going to work, Sam Halle, It's just not going

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: to work. Kaminga is like in year three now and

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: he's just now flourishing because he went high school right

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: to the G League and to the Warriors, and the

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: Warriors have a pretty sophisticated system. James Wiseman couldn't catch on.

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: Di'angelo Russell was there for a minute. They wanted him

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: out of town. It can eat up young players. Jordan

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Poole just to goofy for the system. Not reliable. So

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Kaminga is just a kid. He's a baby twenty one

74
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: years old. But that dude is tonight twenty five points

75
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, really really good around the basket, excellent finisher,

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to He'll start and they're

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: going to depend on him for thirty four minutes in

78
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the postseason. And it's okay because Draymond at the other

79
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: forward is gives you, like the grown up, the adult,

80
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the experience, and Draymond's very much a coach on the floor.

81
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: They're also Moses Moody now has been around a little longer,

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: a very good on ball defender. They're going to rely

83
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: on him to play start or not. Also Trace Jackson Davis.

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Now he's a second round kid out of Indiana. He probably,

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, he'll get some bench play. He's young as well,

86
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: he's twenty four years old. Second round pick. Nice job

87
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: by Mike Dunleavy Junior to find him in the draft.

88
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Interesting player. They have Sarich, they have Jackson Davis, so

89
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: they've got some length. They're not as small as they

90
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: were so but they're going to have to pivot from

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: these veteran players. Klay Thompson now coming off the bench,

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Steph Curry Wiggins will be around, Draymond Green. Sarich has

93
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: some days on his resume. But you're going to the

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Moody cominga and the young kid out of Indiana to

95
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: give you real minutes, and the Warriors. The small ball

96
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: thing goes cracked me out. You know, there's two things

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: in the NBA. I kind of roll why eyes at

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: Everybody talks about how mobility works. No, it doesn't. It

99
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: worked for Lebron. It worked for Lebron when he went

100
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: to Miami, he got two titles. It worked from in

101
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland he got a title, and it worked. In La

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: he got a title, and it worked for Kevin Love

103
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: who joined Lebron, and Chris Bosh who joined Lebron in Miami,

104
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: and Anthony Davis who joined Lebron in Los Angeles. Mobility

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: isn't how you build championships. That's not how it works.

106
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: It worked for Lebron in three places, Okay, going to Miami,

107
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: coming back to Cleveland, going to Los Angeles. It hasn't

108
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: worked for Kevin Durant other than one time he goes

109
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: to the Warriors. Since then, Brooklyn didn't work. Phoenix bit disappointing.

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: So the mobility thing, you know that that's not winning titles.

111
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: San Antonio mostly had a core group. Golden State they

112
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: won before KD, they won a title after KD. You know,

113
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Boston gets Drew Holliday, but that team for years was

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: built around Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, and Marcus Smart. Now

115
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I like the upgrade Drew Holiday, but their two core

116
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: guys are Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. So I think,

117
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, mobility is something we talk about all the

118
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: time in the NBA, and I just sort of rolled

119
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: my eyes. The other thing, I kind of you know,

120
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: people talked about small ball. It worked for the Warriors

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: because they had the three best shooting players, the best

122
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: shooting backcourt tandem ever, Jerry West Gale Goodrich for most

123
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: of my life was the best shooting backcourt ever, and

124
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: then supplanted by Klay Thompson and Steph Curry, and then

125
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: they had Kevin Durant. Yeah, they had the three best

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: shooters of all time playing together, and they went and

127
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: got bogued at one point they got Kevin Durant. They

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: weren't that small. There were small ball lineups that were

129
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: worked for them, but it doesn't work now they're pivoting

130
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: off it by getting you know, Looney, Trayvon Looney has size,

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Sarich has size, Cominga's long, Jackson Davis is long. He's

132
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: kind of a forward center six nine six nine and

133
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: a half. So they're just they're not They just more

134
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: formidable in the front court than before. So small ball

135
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: worked because really the Warriors had unique players, a wing

136
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: in Draymon who can defend Biggs, and Stephan Clay, the

137
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: best shooting back court ever. That's your small ball. People

138
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: try to duplicate it. It didn't equal titles, and mobility

139
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really work. It worked with Lebron several times. I

140
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: think the Warriors are really dangerous. I really do. I

141
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: think they've won seven straight road games. They have a

142
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: nice mix of young and old, and they have one

143
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: of the highest IQ. They have probably the smartest team

144
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: in the league right now. Between Chris Paul, Steph Curry,

145
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Clay Thomps and Steve Kerr Draymond Green, You've got I mean,

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of games. You've got a lot

147
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: of games with those guys. And that's why I would

148
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: take him head to head over an Oka. See, even

149
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: the OKC is built for the regular season. The regular

150
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: season is it is a complete marathon. And you know

151
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: for older teams who are doing load management, you know,

152
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean, like Lebron James has a great fourth quarter,

153
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: you know against the Clippers, he would prefer not to

154
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: play the following night. I mean he took the Celtic

155
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: game off with Anthony Davis. These old guys pick their spots.

156
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Young guys get injured less and they heal faster. So

157
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors are going to be a real team,

158
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: and it's a nice mix of old and new, and

159
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: I really like watching them play. It is you know,

160
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: the other thing about the three point shot, which I

161
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: think is overstated. I think so much of analytics in

162
00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: baseball and in the NBA is based on regular season games,

163
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: and you know there these are long you play. The

164
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: averages analytics are averages over the course of time. But

165
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: when you get into playoff basketball or playoff baseball, you

166
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: just got to get outs. You go into a series,

167
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: you're going to bring starters on three days rest, You're

168
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna use them in late innings as starter if you

169
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: have to win a game six or a game seven.

170
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: So the analytics go out the door. You manage differently,

171
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: you use your bullpen differently, you use starters differently on

172
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: fewer days rest. And at basketball, playoff basketball becomes very situational.

173
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: It becomes very much about get a basket. That's why

174
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard has been when he's healthy, a very good

175
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: playoff performer. Get a stop, get a basket, doesn't have

176
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: to be a three. And so I think this Warrior

177
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: team is obviously going to lie a large part on

178
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry hitting threes, but They've got a lot of

179
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: guys that can get you too. Now is Kaminga is

180
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: a guy that's really good around the ten. They've got size,

181
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: they don't have to shoot the ball as well. Pods

182
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: is a nice rook. He's the next play, but can

183
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a slasher, which I like.

184
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to rely on threes. And

185
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: I think small ball was overstated just due to unique

186
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: generationally gifted players for the Warriors that other teams rosters

187
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: couldn't duplicate. I think the NFL Combine this week, let's

188
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: talk about that. The combine really isn't about the measurables

189
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: and the performance. What it really is is a chance

190
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: for general managers and personnel people in the NFL to

191
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: get together and a lot of late nights, a lot

192
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: of beers, a lot of cocktails. And it's like they say,

193
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: a lot of business gets done on the golf course,

194
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff gets done at the combine. I

195
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: thought my guess was that Justin Fields would be moved

196
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: from the Bears to Atlanta around the combine that you

197
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: just you know, you get a couple of beers, guys

198
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: sit down and what my guess the way Justin Fields

199
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: would work is that, Yeah, I don't know exactly what

200
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: you do, but like the Bears have the ninth pick,

201
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: Atlanta's got the eighth pick. Maybe you swap those and

202
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: a third round or something like that feels reasonable. So

203
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: the Bears move up one slot and get a third

204
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: round or that feels like something you can do for

205
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I don't think he's going to be a

206
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: superstar in Atlanta, but I do think you can argue

207
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: he'll be the most talented quarterback in the NFC South,

208
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: where he's just not He's not as good as Jared Goff,

209
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's I don't think he at

210
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: this point is trending to be nearly as good as

211
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. So if Kirk Cousins comes back for two years,

212
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins right now is a more efficient quarterback than

213
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, and so he would be the fourth most

214
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: reliable quarterback in the division. That's not a good place

215
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: for him. I think it's a much better place for

216
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: him to go to Atlanta, where you know Baker and

217
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Derek carr are. You know, they can win a lot

218
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: of games, especially Baker. He's won a playoff game. You know,

219
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: he's a playoff quarterback in the AFC and the NFC.

220
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: But in terms of overall size and talent whip arm,

221
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, Justin's pretty special player. So the combine to me,

222
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: and we sent John Middelcoff there for the volume. The

223
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: Combine's really a relationship. It's like a camp for football

224
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: grown ups where you get all the gms and the

225
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: personnel people and they screw around. They have steak dinners,

226
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: and you get a lot of business done. I don't

227
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: care much about the players testing, you know, it's like

228
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: these personal workouts and testing. I do think, you know,

229
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: there's a trend over the last several years that quarterbacks

230
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: don't throw at this thing. I think every draft has

231
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: a really interesting player. I mean, I think without question,

232
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: everybody knows it's good wide receiver, good offensive tackle class,

233
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: really good three or four really high end receivers, three

234
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: or four really good offensive tackles. You could have six

235
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: offensive tackles taken in the first round. That's a huge

236
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: number the quarterbacks. There's a lot of talent, but I

237
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: think the most interesting player in the draft is going

238
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: to be JJ McCarthy for Michigan, who had a great coach,

239
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: a great old line, a great run game, and a

240
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: great defense in a conference. Frankly, that's kind of Ohio

241
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: State and everybody else outside of Michigan. I mean, that's

242
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: about the only team Michigan face that has equal talent

243
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: in the SEC. Even though Alabama can be great. There's Georgia,

244
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: There's LSU. There's a lot of teams that can stack

245
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: up athletically, three or four teams at the top. Ohio

246
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: State and Michigan just looked different than everybody else, and

247
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy benefited from that. Now, he won a lot of games,

248
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: but they didn't really rely on him. He didn't throw

249
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: many touchdown passes, as his biggest games were off and

250
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: against I mean he had I think it was half

251
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: of his touchdown passes against three teams, all of them

252
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: awful East Carolina, Michigan State, in Indiana he had half

253
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: of his touchdown totals and he only had one game

254
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: with three touchdown passes. I believe Pennix had ten, bo

255
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: Nicks had seven. I think he had one game with

256
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: either was it three hundred yards passing or three touchdown

257
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: pass My big concern is he's really slender and let

258
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: me give an example. So I've used this before, is

259
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers and I are the same height. And

260
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: I've seen Aaron a couple times up close. He doesn't

261
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: look thick. He weighs two hundred and twenty five pounds.

262
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm the same height and I weigh one ninety five.

263
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: I work out every day. I'm in pretty good shape.

264
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: You would view me as slender. If you looked at Aaron,

265
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: you would view him as sort of slender. He carries

266
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,359
Speaker 1: thirty pounds more than me at the same height chest shoulders,

267
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: but it's that thickness. Years ago I asked somebody about Aaron.

268
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: I said, he doesn't look that big. And this person said,

269
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: look at his caps, look at his butt, look at

270
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: his shoulders, look at his wrists. There's a difference. When

271
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel came into the league, he just didn't he

272
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: didn't have the size and the shoulders, the butt, the hips,

273
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: the wrist. He just wasn't big enough. And so I

274
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: look at JJ McCarthy and he's six ' three, So

275
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: he is taller than Aaron Rodgers by an inch and

276
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: a half. Anyways, twenty to twenty three pounds less. That

277
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: is that's noticeable to me. He comes across his slender

278
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and you know it's somebody. An NFL executive said he

279
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: looks like a stretched out Bryce Young and I never

280
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: thought of that, but in the context of body types,

281
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: it kind of it kind of matches, And so I

282
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: think McCarthy's fascinating. I know two people who I really

283
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: like in the NFL. Executives think he's a Hamnegger, just

284
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: don't really see it. I know somebody else, Randy Mueller,

285
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: a former executive in the league works for the Athletic

286
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: now really likes JJ McCarthy. Obviously, Jim Harball loves him.

287
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: He's rooting for his guys. I don't know quite what

288
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: to make him him now. I didn't like Zach Wilson

289
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: of the Jets out of college. I like JJ McCarthy more.

290
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: I think he throws a better ball and a more

291
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: consistent ball. You know. I didn't like Johnny Manziel out

292
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: of college. I think JJ McCarthy's a much much better prospect.

293
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: I didn't like Tebow at all at a college, obviously.

294
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Tebo couldn't throw a consistent NFL football. It's

295
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: not like I don't think he has talent. I do

296
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: think JJ has talent, but the body type, it's just

297
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: it's a completely different sport. I mean the NFL. I

298
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: remember when Johnny Manziel came into the league and he

299
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: was a run around guy, gave Alabama's great defenses all

300
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: sorts of fits. And I think it was a preseason game.

301
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: He's playing for Cleveland. I think they played Washington. Is

302
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: that the one where he gave somebody the finger and

303
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: he rolled out and you know, he thought, I'm going

304
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: to get around this defensive end and he could not

305
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: outrun a defensive end in the NFL. And in that moment,

306
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, yep, not going to work because his game

307
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: is movement. It's just not going to work. Lamar Jackson moves.

308
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: You can't stop him. Michael Vick moves, Steve Young moved,

309
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: they got around the corner. So a lot of times,

310
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, you play in college, high school, in college,

311
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: and what works for you does not work, does not

312
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: translate to the NFL. So I'm just fascinated with JJ

313
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: McCarthy to see if it does. I just don't quite see. Now.

314
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: You could say Colin, you didn't see c J. Stroud, No,

315
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: I said Lance Zerline, who works at NFL dot Com

316
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: a draft analyst. He said it Jared Goff was his

317
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: comp and I said probably ten times on the air,

318
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: that's a good comp out of college. I didn't see

319
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of juice with Jared Goff, but I thought

320
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: he threw a beautiful ball from the pocket. I didn't

321
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: see a lot of juice until the Georgia game on

322
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud, But he throws a beautiful ball out

323
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: of the pocket. And Zerline was on the Herd yesterday

324
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: on FS one and talked about that that people give

325
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: him crap for that. But if you go look at

326
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's second year numbers and c J. Stroud's first

327
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: year numbers, CJ got a great first coach. Jared Goff didn't.

328
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: They're very similar. So JJ McCarthy's going to be really

329
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: really interesting to me, you know, like this was the

330
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: best Michigan team perhaps ever, and the best team in

331
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: college football, I thought significantly, with a great o' line

332
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: and a really powerful run game at a great coach,

333
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: very Alabama like and if you start looking at all

334
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: these Alabama quarterbacks, the Bryce Youngs and the tuas, you know,

335
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: they looked Mac Jones. Boy, did we really like them

336
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: out of college. And then you get to the NFL

337
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: behind an average offensive line and you don't really have

338
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: a number one receiver. That's what JJ McCarthy feels like

339
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: to me. The great coach, the great old line, the

340
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: great run game, the great defense support, playing with the lead,

341
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: getting very good field position, just like Tua and Mac

342
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: Jones and Alabama quarterbacks time and time again. Then they

343
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: get into the NFL and they trail and they don't

344
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: have a good offensive line and they're moving in. JJ

345
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy weighs six three, two hundred and three pounds, and

346
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: then he probably needs twenty two pounds more with that size,

347
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: so we'll see. He is to me, the most interesting

348
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: player in the first round. All right, little instant reaction.

349
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: Dubs picked up their seven straight road win, beat a

350
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: NIXT team without Julius Randall, but Andrew Wiggins didn't play.

351
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a really interesting Warriors team that's got

352
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: a mix of old and young. They finally have some

353
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: front court size, play sort of the same style, up tempo,

354
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: and if you don't understand Draymond Green tonight, Draymond Green

355
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: is I wrote down some of the comments on Draymond Green.

356
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: That dude, this team. Since Draymond Green came back from

357
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: his suspension, the Warriors lead the NBA in points and assists.

358
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: Tonight he had six assists. It's like the line of

359
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: demarcation if you don't get the value of Draymond Green.

360
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: If you watch the.

361
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Warriors game with the next Night of the Garden, constantly coaching,

362
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: constantly talking communications. Steve Kerr sees this. He's so valuating.

363
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: He's not Steph Curry valuable, but beyond that, he is

364
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: so valuable to the Warriors and his age and communication

365
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: skills with all these young players. They kept miking him

366
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: on TNT throughout the game. Every time you hear Draymond

367
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: Green coaching, teaching, assignments, communication, either get it or you don't.

368
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: I just love it all right, instant reaction. We'll see tomorrow.

369
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: FS one the volume. Thanks so much for listening. If
