1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program our one. On this

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday Dan and the Dane's Stan Patrick Show. Certain fan

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: bases weren't happy. Yesterday news came out. J J. Watt

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: made his decision. He's not going back home to Wisconsin

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: with the Packers, joining the new and improved Buffalo Bills,

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: maybe the Tennessee Titans, the Cleveland Browns. Reunited with his

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: brother in Pittsburgh. He chose the Arizuna Cardinals. Got the

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: hopes up in places like Buffalo and Green Bay certainly,

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: and maybe a nice edition and could have put those

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: teams over the top. And some critics say, oh, you

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: chose money over playing for a championship. Imagine if you'd

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: joined the Kansas City Chiefs. What would we say about

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: JJ Watt? Oh, okay, you're like the Kevin Durant to

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. You got to join somebody else to win

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: a championship. Oh is the NFL is year to year?

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: When you think about Tom Brady joined the Buccaneers, I

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: mean think back on that when he joined the Buccaneers.

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: At the time, did you realize they had made the

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: playoffs since two thousand and seven. Then they go and

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. But at the time, we thought, Okay,

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: gets to play in Florida, get away from New England.

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: Weather Bruce arians a fun coach to play for, offensive

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: minded guy, former quarterback in college, got some weapons there.

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: We just thought it was a nice story. And then

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: people realized, oh, Tampa's got a top five defense. Tom

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: had done his homework and he was going to have

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: a larger say. And how good the Buccaneers were because

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston was holding them back. Well, they win the

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm not saying J. J. Watt is going

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: to help Arizona win the Super Bowl. Let's see if

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs first, and they were a team

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: that lost eight games last year. Five of the eight

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: were by one score. Does JJ Watt help in that category?

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean they did score. They outscored the opposition.

36
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Get Kyler Murray another year, you got Chandler Jones, Buddha Baker,

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe Larry Fitzgerald comes back. DeAndre Hopkins. Okay, but I

38
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: think what Arizona did is the Bidwells went out and

39
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: got him the owner. The owner, he went picked him up.

40
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: He said, we want you maybe that's all it needed.

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Now he got paid, got guaranteed money there. But here's

42
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: where the Texans made yet another mistake because they misread

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: the market the number of teams interested in JJ Watt.

44
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: This is where the Texans probably should have taken some

45
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: calls on JJ Watt. You could have gotten some draft

46
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: picks here. That's what they keep trying to acquire draft picks.

47
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you get a third rounder, maybe second rounder. You

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: get all these teams bidding against each other. I think

49
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: the Texans misread the market because how many teams. I

50
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: didn't know the Colts were interested. I didn't know Arizona

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: was interested. We knew Cleveland was, we knew Green Bay was,

52
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: we knew the Titans were. And then all of a sudden,

53
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: so there's five teams put it out there on the

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: open market. See what we get. Maybe you get a

55
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: couple of draft picks there. All I know is you

56
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: didn't get anything. And JJ goes to Arizona. Now, two

57
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: year deal. Their odds didn't jump up in Vegas. You know,

58
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: because he's a defensive player who's thirty two years of age.

59
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: This isn't a quarterback. A quarterback will change the odds

60
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: not a defensive player, or at least this defensive player.

61
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: If Aaron Donald changed teams and went to Seattle, Seattle's

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: super odds would improve dramatically. But he goes to a

63
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: team that we're not used to seeing be successful or

64
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: get these kind of players. They had their run with

65
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, but keep in mind when they got Kurt Warner,

66
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner was kicked to the curb by the Giants.

67
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: People didn't know that he was going to have, you know,

68
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: this resurgence latter part of his career and because of that,

69
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: became a Hall of Famer. But Texans could have misread

70
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: the market there could have gotten something in return. But

71
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: JJ Watt surprised everybody. I think yesterday as I was

72
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: ready to leave the man cave, PAULI goes, it's in JJ.

73
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: You know what got a great source. It's JJ Watt

74
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: who was reporting where he's going. And he goes, it's

75
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: not one of the teams that you thought, And I go,

76
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: Chicago bears like we just started throwing out teams. We

77
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: weren't quite sure. Okay, it's not the teams that we thought,

78
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: and police says Arizona. And I go Arizona. Okay, Now,

79
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: if you haven't been to Arizona this time of the year,

80
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: you should try it. It's a wonderful place. Maybe not

81
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: for you in July and August, but this time of

82
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: the year certainly beautiful. That's another thing when you go

83
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: visit a school when you're being recruited. When you go

84
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: to Syracuse, you know, it's probably important that you go,

85
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: maybe not in the winter time. Certain places that you

86
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: go and you go, hey, come on in. You want

87
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: to see what the city's all about, the surroundings are

88
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: all about. You know, if you went to Buffalo last week,

89
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: you might go, I don't know, I'm not sure. And

90
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: then you go to Arizona. The owner sends his private plane.

91
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: He's on the private plane. You got your new wife.

92
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: You may say, hey, this is where we want to live.

93
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's lifestyle there for him, But as chasing the money,

94
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: the reports are he could have made more money and

95
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: at least two of the other places there. It may

96
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: just be lifestyle. Maybe something as simple as that. I thought,

97
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: if I'm Kansas City, I make a run at him.

98
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: And I wondered if JJ would play for a team

99
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: has obviously a great chance to win a Super Bowl.

100
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: How important is that for him? I don't know. But

101
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: he got where he wanted to go. He had the

102
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: opportunities to go to these other places, and here he is.

103
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: He's an Arizona Cardinal, paired with Chandler Jones, Buddha Baker

104
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: in there. I don't know if you know you look

105
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: at that defense and where it ranks in that division,

106
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: but you know you're going to get some people's attention.

107
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: And the fact they were eight and eight, you know,

108
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: if they are ten and sixteen, you make the playoffs.

109
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what San Francisco is going to be

110
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: like because they can't decide on who is going to

111
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: be the quarterback that replaces Jimmy g The Rams, I

112
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: think are going to be formidable. Seattle. I'm not quite

113
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: sure with the drama going on in the off season,

114
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: but maybe he gets into the playoffs and maybe that's

115
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: enough for him. Eight seven seven three d P show

148
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: thought that was yesterday, not yesterday. Not yesterday. Cardinals odds

149
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: didn't move in Vegas, Arizona. Forty to one to win

150
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, twenty to one to win the NFS. See,

151
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: that's tied for the eighth best odds. But JJ turns

152
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: thirty two on March twenty second, and uh, you know,

153
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: he's a future Hall of Famer. A lot of injuries there.

154
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: He's going to be an old thirty two when he

155
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: lines up to start this season. But fun little diversion

156
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: from all the quarterback controversy with j J. Watts signing.

157
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Mcleovity got a pull question for me. Yeah, if some

158
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: JJ Watt questions, Okay, I want to start with this one,

159
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: a little legacy question. At their peak, who would you

160
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: rather have JJ Watt or Aaron Donald. Well, I don't

161
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: know if I've seen Aaron Donald at his peak yet,

162
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: but he's about to turn thirty. Got hurt at the

163
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: end of last year. Science says he will, you've seen

164
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: his peak? Yes. I think JJ was more disruptive or

165
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: got more publicity for being more disruptive because he's knocking

166
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: down passes, you know, intercepting passes. It felt like JJ

167
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: Watt had a lot of attention with the way he played.

168
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, I think quietly surprisingly became the defensive player,

169
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: the best defensive player. I feel like Donald got some

170
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: recognition the last year or two. He kind of like

171
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: on primetime games, everyone sort of focused on him a

172
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, but how long has he been the

173
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: best defensive player? We just didn't recognize him as the

174
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: best defensive player. I think there were probably three years

175
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: where he was the best guy, but nobody recognized him. Well,

176
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: we talked about the coach. We talked about the coach

177
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: and the quarterback. We weren't talking about Aaron Donald. I

178
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: think Aaron Donald was right in front of us. We

179
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: chose not to recognize him as the best defensive player.

180
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: First of all, he's not doing endorsements, not a self promoter,

181
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: You're not focusing on him on the sidelines. All of

182
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: these things that JJ Watt was able to do, he

183
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: garnered a lot of attention, and I think because of that,

184
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is not at the level of JJ Watt.

185
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: But I think part of that is just brand recognition.

186
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: You know that people sort of who cut people know

187
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. I think you got to know football to

188
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: know Aaron Donald and the position he plays. You know,

189
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: it's not a glamor marquee position. You know he's a

190
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. He's not a defensive he's not an edge rusher,

191
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: but he disrupts as many plays, if not more so,

192
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: than JJ Watt did. Because when you're an edge rusher,

193
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: you feel like everything you do is built upon getting

194
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. As you know, Aaron Donald gets to

195
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback, but his job is to disrupt everything in

196
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: the middle of that line and make the quarterback uncomfortable

197
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: going up the middle. Not glamorous, and you got to

198
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: watch him with his greatness, but JJ was larger than

199
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: life there and look three time Defensive Player of the

200
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Year and he's a Hall of Famer. Yeah, McLevin. So

201
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the list of Defensive Player of the years.

202
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Three guys who've won it three times, JJ, Aaron Donald

203
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: last year, and LT. Yeah, but that doesn't mean Aaron

204
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Donald and JJ Watt are right better than Reggie White

205
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: and ray Lewis. I'm curious how that ended up, being

206
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: like Reggie White didn't win more than twice. That seems

207
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: funny to me. Yeah, you can make a case that

208
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Reggie White is the best pass rusher of all time. Now,

209
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: might not have the numbers there, but you can make

210
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: a case. And also keep in mind when Reggie White

211
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: signed with Green Bay, like that was the first time

212
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: it felt like in free agency you went, Wow, anything

213
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: is possible because you went Green Bay and Reggie White

214
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: went there at the end of his career. You know,

215
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: you see these guys when they leave, when do they leave?

216
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: And then what kind of impact do they have when

217
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: they go to another team? And Reggie had a huge

218
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: impact when he went to the Packers. Yep. On you know,

219
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor's last three or four years, he was injured

220
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: and beat up and wasn't Lawrence Taylor. He was an

221
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: All Pro as a key. I mean, it's so rare

222
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: to be All pros rookie. I think Quintin Nelson's the

223
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: only guy around these days. Lawrence Taylor was six per

224
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: six his first six years, six times All Pro, seven

225
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: eight of its first ten years All Pro, not Pro

226
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: Bowl All Pro. Also, when you start to look at

227
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: sack numbers, there's more opportunities here. And if you played

228
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: back in the sixties or seventies, First of all, they

229
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: weren't keeping track of sacks back then. But now you're

230
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: throwing fifty times in a game, and you never did that.

231
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: I give you throw twenty five times back in the

232
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies. That felt like an awful lot. You

233
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback truly managed a game back then, and that's

234
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: why you didn't have quarterbacks throw thirty touchdowns in a season.

235
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: Now it feels like everybody should be thrown for four

236
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: thousand yards and at least twenty five to thirty touchdowns,

237
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: and everybody should be completing sixty five percent of their passes.

238
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: It's a pass happy league. Therefore, you are going to

239
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: get more opportunities for sacks. You know, Chandler Jones has

240
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: almost one hundred sacks. Isn't that amazing? And if you

241
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: look at his numbers compared to JJ Watt over the

242
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: last what five to six years, that's it's really close

243
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: in what they've done. Now JJ has been injured, but

244
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: nobody knows Chandler Jones. I mean, you have to be

245
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: a football fan to no Chandler Jones, but you get one.

246
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, is he a Hall of Famer? How many

247
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: guys have had one hundred sacks in their career and

248
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: not made it into the Hall of Fame. I'd be curious. Yeah,

249
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I mcclub you know it just real quick on Aaron

250
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Dowd though he was second in the league in sacks,

251
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: but he did it from the inside. That's crazy. Yes,

252
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: but nobody does that though, even why he has. He's

253
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: more disruptive than any other defensive player because it's up

254
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah, up the middle changes everything. If you're

255
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: an edge rusher, I double you and I can keep

256
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: you away up the middle. Aaron Donald is wreaking havoc.

257
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: And you know Warren Sapp was able to do this.

258
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: There's certain guys who play, you know, interior defensive line,

259
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: but to create I'd rather have Aaron Donald in the

260
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: middle than I would J. J. Watt On on the wing,

261
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: because up the middle, now I make the quarterback move

262
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: one way or another. On the edge, I double you,

263
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: and you know I can always I can still stay

264
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: in the pocket there. And that's why I think what

265
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald does is not glamorous, but he is. You know,

266
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer because of this, you know,

267
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: winning three Defensive Players of the Year award. All right, um,

268
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: any other poll question suggestions Aaron McLevin. Yeah, And by

269
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the way, we're pulling that stat on a hundred sacks,

270
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: it's really kind of interesting. Yeah, I'm just curious if

271
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: somebody got to one hundred and they're not considered a

272
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer or potential Hall of Famer. Yeah, pall

273
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: I've got the to all time. There's a bunch of

274
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: guys over one hundred, but the line of demarcation is

275
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: about one hundred and twenty sacks. Of the guys with

276
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: over more than one hundred and twenty sacks, there's certain

277
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: guys that might not go to the Hall of Fame,

278
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: like John Abraham has one thirty three, Jared Allen has

279
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: one thirty six. They're in the era of the passing era,

280
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: so they got more opportunity. Lessie O'Neil one thirty two,

281
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to the Hall of Fame. Terrell

282
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: Suggs one thirty nine, he probably is. DeMarcus ware has

283
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: won thirty eight, he probably is. M Robert And then

284
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys that the one twenty mark,

285
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: like Robert Mathis and Simeon Rice and Clyde Simmons and

286
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Sean Jones. They're not going to the Hall of Fame. Yeah,

287
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: so maybe it is one twenty five in an area.

288
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: But then there's you know, if the pace at Chanlon

289
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: Jones is on right now, he's flying to one twenty.

290
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: But how old is he? Thirty? He was the youngest

291
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: player in the league his first year and the Patriots

292
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: let him go. He remember he had some troubles walking

293
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: in the police department in Boston and they moved on

294
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: easily and didn't pay him. Yeah, he's better shape than

295
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: his brother is, oh John Joe John Jones. Yeah. Um,

296
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: one guy at Dwight Freeney's a Hall of Famer, right is. Yeah,

297
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: he's not in yet. I just looked I don't know

298
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: if he's when he's eligible. He played forever. That's probably

299
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: the problem twenty five sons. But Mathis, Robert Mathis does

300
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: not feel like a Hall of Famer. He was never

301
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: a very big star. No, it felt like Freenye his

302
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: style got more attention. Plus he's a good story. And

303
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, I don't vote, wouldn't want the opportunity to

304
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: vote on the Hall of Fame. It's a thankless job.

305
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: But it feels like if you put Freenye in, you

306
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: gotta put Mathis in. But it feels like Freenye got

307
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot more attention than than Mathis did. Yeah, mcluh.

308
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: If we are another poll question, by the way, what's

309
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: the question for the Cardinals? Are they a Super Bowl contender?

310
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: Question mark? Or are they going to make the playoffs?

311
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Like what's the expectation? What's a fair poll? Well, I

312
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: would start with just the playoffs because they're eight and

313
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: eight and they're in a tough division, kind of a

314
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: soft d eight and eight. I might add, really, yeah,

315
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: they had remember they jumped out early because they played

316
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: like all those zero win teams, and then they beat

317
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: the Bills on a hail Mary, and then they disappeared. Yeah,

318
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: but you lost a lot of close games. You know,

319
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: five of the eight were by one score. I think

320
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: three of those were by three points or less. Kyler

321
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: another year. I don't know how much you can rely

322
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: on Larry Fitzgerald. You know, do you have a quality

323
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: running game? Take pressure off Kyler? Do you trust Cliff?

324
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: That's what I wonder, because you had some questions when

325
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: they hired him. Well, he wasn't a great college coach,

326
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: so yeah, I had questions about him. But it feels

327
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: like they're moving in the right direction. I bet you

328
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: gotta get that defense together. I guess three Peterson back

329
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: is Hassan Reddick gonna be back. You got Buddha Baker,

330
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: you got Chandler Jones. Okay, but you know, I think

331
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: there's some question marks there. Yeah, PAULI, these sacks stats

332
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: are nutty. Just people don't remember Bruce Smith and Reggie White.

333
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith for his career has the same amount of

334
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: sacks as JJ Watton von Miller combined. Those guys are

335
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: both first ballot Hall of famers, Right? Is that fair

336
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: to say Von Miller's and JJ Watter probably first ballot.

337
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith has two hundred secks, Von and JJ have

338
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: about two or five together. Reggie White has one ninety

339
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: eight and imagine them playing now with the number of

340
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: opportunities you would get with the number of passing attempts.

341
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: Be crazy. All right, we'll take a break and settle

00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: authorized dealership Today, McLevin, you got a pull question for me. Yeah,

402
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: we just decided over here. I don't know if you're

403
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: gonna like it, but what do you think was the

404
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: ultimate motivation for J J. Watt? Money, chance to win

405
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: a title, or lifestyle which includes weather. Obviously, I'm gonna

406
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: guess it's all of those in his mind, but I

407
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know what his top priority is, or maybe I

408
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: put d all the above. We kind of think lifestyle

409
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: because there was equal chances to win a championship other places, yeah,

410
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: money other places Yeah, And you had a chance to

411
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: make more money and have a better chance to win

412
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 1: a championship. He just got married. His wife is a

413
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: professional soccer player in Chicago. Yeah. See strikes me as

414
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: the kind of fellow though, who doesn't want to jump

415
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: into you know, like, well, they're already a winning team

416
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: and now I'm just want to pick up a ring.

417
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: I think he wants to pick up a ring, but

418
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: he also wants to be one of the guys that

419
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: built it. At the same time, Well, I don't know

420
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: how long he's gonna be around for the built part

421
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: of this. With Arizona. It's a two year deal, and

422
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: those injuries at that position, I mean, guys at that

423
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: age playing that position don't get this kind of contract.

424
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: It's like when you know, the Buccaneers weren't a super

425
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Bowl favorite team until Tom Brady got there and then

426
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: everybody else joined. It's sort of like, oh, JJ's here, now,

427
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: now everybody else is gonna sign with Arizona. Yeah, I

428
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen. No, No, that's what I

429
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: think he's thinking. Well he might. I'm gonna be the

430
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna get everybody in here and then we're

431
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna win. No. I don't see that happening because Brady

432
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: is your quarterback and he's got a history on his

433
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: side of winning super Bowls. That's the pied piper JJ.

434
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, he hadn't won anything playoff, you know, been

435
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but hadn't won anything. Yeah, McLeman. Okay,

436
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: this whole narrative that Tom Brady played GM and got

437
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: all these great players here, I don't think there was

438
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: another team that wanted any of those guys. Did anybody

439
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: want Gronk, Antonio Brown or Leonard Fournette. Gronk was not

440
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: going to play unless Brady came back or right, and

441
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: he played. But I don't think there was another single

442
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: team that would have wanted to sign a broken down,

443
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: thirty two year old tight end. May I mean maybe, okay,

444
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: but he did. He did get guys he wanted, whether

445
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: you know somebody wanted them or not. You know, Antonio

446
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: Brown was the tricky one. Leonard Fournette at his age,

447
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: you know he still had you know, he had some

448
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: mileage left, He had some tread left on those tires,

449
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: as we saw. I don't think anyone knew that about

450
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: Fournette until he got there, though, because he got cut

451
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure he had a lot of offers. Well,

452
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: I think that he fell out of favor as most

453
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: of those players did in Jacksonville. And Leonard was a

454
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: high draft pick, way too high, and wasn't going to

455
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: live up to that billing. And then he goes to Tampa.

456
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: There's no expectations there. They don't even know can he

457
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: beat out Ronald Jones. They brought in Lashawn McCoy like

458
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: they were just trying. They were just saying, Hey, we

459
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: don't know what we have, Let's try some of these guys.

460
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: And Fournette proved to be great when they needed him

461
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Right, And that the Brady GM legacy

462
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: is sealed just because it is because he those players

463
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: that you name, that's four touchdowns in the Super Bowl,

464
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: and that's there. They only signed there because Tom Brady

465
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: was playing there and then they ended up being that

466
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: all of the points in the super Bowl. That's that

467
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: legacy is sealed. That's written, it's in stone. Yes, the

468
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: one time Brady tried to play GM in New England,

469
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: he got really bad when they traded Logan Mankins. Do

470
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: you remember that they traded or gaveaway? Yeah, they traded

471
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: Logan Mankins that it turned out the Patriots were doing

472
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: a one over on the team. They got him because

473
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: he was completely injured. He played like three games arrest

474
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: of his schol Wasn't that Tampa? Yeah, it was Tampa, ironically. Yeah,

475
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: So Brady did not have that reputation until this year.

476
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: But it's the Patriots never let make any decisions. He

477
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: never said a vinge Yeah, Polly, I didn't realize that

478
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers had not been to the playoffs in twelve years.

479
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah so seven. That's why when he went there, I

480
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: don't know, if you know, people were like, oh my gosh,

481
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: he's you know, chasing rings or anything. He went to

482
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: a franchise that hadn't been there since oh seven. That's

483
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: what made it even more amazing. I mean, I was

484
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: surprised that they won the Super Bowl without Godwinner Evans

485
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: having a significant role in that game. I think Evans

486
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: had one catch, but the guys that Brady brought in

487
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: scored all the touchdowns, whether you know, separating fact from

488
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: fiction and how twenty years from now to be like,

489
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: I remember Brady when he was a GM. He was

490
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: as good as Jerry West with the Lakers. He made

491
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: all kinds of moved you know, he didn't, but he

492
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: got these guys. What Brady did is what few can do,

493
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: and that is that guy can win a super Bowl.

494
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: We know that. And if you're close, then you know

495
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: you got a chance with him to win a Super Bowl.

496
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: That's all. I mean, twenty eight to three. We'll never

497
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: forget that in the history of the sport. You're down

498
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: twenty eight to three in the Super Bowl and Brady

499
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: helped lead them back and they won it. So he

500
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: takes away any doubt. And that's what he gave Tampa.

501
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: The most important thing he gave is confidence, that confidence

502
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: going into a game, during a game that you can win,

503
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: we will win. Because nobody picked Tampa to beat Kansas City.

504
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: They were like, oh, this could be a blowout because

505
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: you thought, well, can Tom match Patrick Mahomes. No, but

506
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: you saw what The reason why Tampa was great, and

507
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: it'll get lost in history is their defense. Their defense

508
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: won this Super Bowl. This defense was the star this season,

509
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: and Brady complimented the defense, not the other way around,

510
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: although history will show this was Tom Brady. Look at

511
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: what he did and it was amazing when you think

512
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: about it. No offseason workouts, no preseason games. He just

513
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: went in and eventually I think he had the approach

514
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: that the Patriots have and Belichick has, Hey, let's not

515
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: overreact early. Belichick famously has those first four regular season

516
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: games as sort of an extended preseason that's when you

517
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: know what the Patriots are all about. After that first

518
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: month of the season, and I think Brady, whether it's

519
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: by proxy conscious or subconscious, was thinking the same thing, like,

520
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: we're not a finished product. We're nowhere near that. Let's wait,

521
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: and you saw what the end result was. Is Antonio

522
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: Brown back next year? Is Gronk back next year? Leonard Fournette?

523
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but he did deliver on what

524
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: he promised. He promised to be Tom Brady when he arrived.

525
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: JJ Watt can't have that kind of impact no matter

526
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: how good he is. He could have fifteen sacks this year.

527
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: Brady has the football in his hands. Yeah. Point, But

528
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: do you think a little bit of that attractiveness of

529
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is the Kingsbury style, you know, sunglasses and

530
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: skinny jeans. I mean, it doesn't seem like the culture

531
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: of the Texans was so bad you wanted out of there.

532
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: He didn't have a choice anyway. But it seems like

533
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: the culture of the Cardinals is pretty good right now.

534
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: And it hasn't been the Bidwell family as having a

535
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: good run in the last decade, but before that that

536
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: they did not have the best rep in the Valley. Yeah,

537
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: but don't you think any team he went to was

538
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: going to be an improvement over the Texans. I mean

539
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: even Cleveland with that front office or that ownership, that

540
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: would have been an improvement. Green Bay would have been

541
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: an improvement. Vrabel playing for him with Tennessee would have

542
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: been an improvement there the Colds. I mean, there are

543
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. That's why I still go back to,

544
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: how is that the Texans didn't understand this and go,

545
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: maybe we should trade JJ Watt. I don't know if

546
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: they tried to, but it feels like these teams would

547
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: have at least kicked the tires on JJ. Maybe you

548
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: would eventually released him. But that's pretty amazing. Yeah, mccluv

549
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: if it's funny that these older players are going to

550
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Arizona and Tampa Bay. It's like kind of a retirement. Yes,

551
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: there's Snowbirds. I wonder if it's try and continues, like

552
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: ll Aaron Rodgers go to somewhere warm after Green Bay.

553
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: I Betty Watts too, well, in the off season, he

554
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: doesn't live in Green Bay. In the off season. I

555
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: think he lives in Malibu. Yes, mclovin, No, it's true.

556
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, by the way, about this TENNC West,

557
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: I think the Niners. We all discounted the Niners when

558
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: they get they have a whole team coming back from injury.

559
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Arizona had such an easy assignment next year,

560
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: you know they haven't. Yeah, the Niners will be better,

561
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: but the Niners still have that cloud, that question mark

562
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: hanging over them with Jimmy Garoppolo. Even if the story

563
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: is not true about Teddy Bridgewater, they're interested in Teddy Bridgewater.

564
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Like how there's stories that are always attached to the

565
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Niners when it comes to their quarterback. You know that's

566
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: that's not coincidental. I think they're truly exploring, how do

567
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: we upgrade now Teddy Bridgewater to me Jimmy Garoppolo. That

568
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: would be lateral move. But it's not like you go boys.

569
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco has never shopped Jimmy Garoppolo or look for

570
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: another quarterback. They have And that's why I don't discount

571
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: if they looked at Teddy Bridgewater. I don't know who

572
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: would have thought that. You know, the Chiefs would with

573
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: Alex Smith playoff team and they go, we want Patrick Mahomes.

574
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: That's an upgrade and then a year later, Mahomes is

575
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: starting throwing fifty touchdowns in Alex Smith is jettison out

576
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: of there. Here is the team for Alex Smith. You

577
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: guys want to guess. But Alex Smith is thirty six

578
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: comeback Player of the Year, wants to play again. Washington

579
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: football team is going to say goodbye to him. To me,

580
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: this is a no brainer. Paulie the Tampa Bay Bucks, Nope,

581
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Todd the Miami Dolphins, Nope. Mclovin reunited with urban Meyer

582
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: and Jackson ding ding ding Ding ding ding ding ding.

583
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: Get him in there his college coach and Trevor Lawrence

584
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: comes to town, and you say to Alex Smith, this

585
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: is your role. You can be an assistant coach and

586
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: my backup quarterback. I need you to help be an

587
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator here. This is something that we can do

588
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: together and you can help. Now you're asking Alex Smith

589
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: to help Colin Kaepernick, help Patrick Mahomes, and now help

590
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, this is the ultimate team player. But

591
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: Alex Smith reunited with urban Meyer, played for him at Utah. Absolutely.

592
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: If he's not going to get a starting job, but

593
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: if I can put him in a position where he

594
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: might start out. He might be the starting quarterback to

595
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: start out this season. Now. I don't know what you

596
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: do with Gardner Minshew, but you know, maybe have Alex

597
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: Smith on the roster. Just that guidance I think could

598
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: be really really beneficial. Yeah, Seton, I'll tell you one thing.

599
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: For a guy who's sort of bounced from town to

600
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: town to town helping other people become starting quarterbacks, he's

601
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: made a fine living for himself. He has a fine

602
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: living from How about career salary game? This is just

603
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: this is exactly why career salary game was invented because

604
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: alary people like Alex Alex Smith, yeah and Joe Johnson. Yeah. Yeah,

605
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: Time to play career salary with Alex Smith. Here's your host,

606
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: Pauli pemst Wow. Seaton had a point. Alex Smith came

607
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: out of Utah, his base salary thirteen million, a signing

608

00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: I still may go wrong. I was joking. I can't

617
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,759

Speaker 1: twenty eighteen from the Redskins. Forty million in one season.

646
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: We'll hold off on those with J. J. Watt. The

647
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Pelicans last night scored one hundred twenty nine points, but

648
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: they do not shoot threes. They shot eleven, they made seven,

649
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: and every team scoring at least one hundred twenty points

650
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: this season attempted at least nineteen three pointers, but they

651
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: did it last night. Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson they're

652
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: both slashers. Those two didn't attempt any three pointers, but

653
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: New Orleans doing it in a different way. And what

654
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: you're finding was Zion and I had this stat for

655
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: you a couple of days ago. Nobody has been blocked

656
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: more times had their shot blocked more times this year

657
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: than Zion Williamson. But I don't look at that as

658
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: a negative because he takes it to you, and I

659
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: think once he gets a little bit more status, he'll

660
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: get more fouls called. But he takes it to you,

661
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: and his second jump is so quick. You may block him,

662
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: he's coming right back at you and right back at

663
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: you again, and that can be demoralized. You know, we

664
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: don't talk about points in the paint that often. It

665
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: feels like it's a stat that's coming back a little

666
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: bit more this year. But when you go inside, I

667
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: know we love the three and that's the home run,

668
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: but when you have somebody who is inside who keeps

669
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: coming at you, you know, it's almost like body blows

670
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: with a fighter. The three pointer is when you take

671
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: that wild swing, you may knock somebody out, you may not,

672
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: But inside it's just body blows over and over and

673
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: over and Utah found out and Utah is a good

674
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: defensive team. They don't have an answer for that. You

675
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: can have an answer for a style, you can have

676
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: an answer for the Greek freak, like Miami did during

677
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: the postseason last year. Zion is different because he has

678
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: this ability to get inside and once he's inside, he

679
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 1: takes advantage. He does damage there. He's just learning how

680
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: to play. I think we look at guys when they're

681
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one now and go they're a finished product

682
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: or that's who they're going to be. Zion now as

683
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: opposed to Zion in five years, it could be, you know,

684
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: markedly different. Brandon Ingram is starting to get a little fuller. There,

685
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: very very slight, and you know there's a there's obviously

686
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: a Kevin Durant comparison, which is not fair to brandon Ingram,

687
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: but he should view it as a compliment. With his size,

688
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: his build, mid range jumper, he's you know, he gets

689
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: to the hoop. He's only twenty three, he's been in

690
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: the league five years. Brandon Ingram has a chance to

691
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: be a great player. But I look at the rest

692
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: of the roster and that's where I have some real

693
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: questions with this Pelicans team Ingram and Zion great, but

694
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: what else do you have there? What else can you

695
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: count on there? The style that they play, because they're

696
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: an average team right now, and Lonzo Ball put up

697
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: some good numbers. I need him to be great. I

698
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: need him to be like his brother. And I never

699
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: thought I'd be saying that, but he needs to be

700
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: like LaMelo. And if he can, then okay, Now you

701
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: got a pretty decent team here, or at least the

702
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: start of something where you have a young nucleus there.

703
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: But Zion brandon Ingram, they were. They were quite a

704
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: team last night, very formidable inside against the Utah Jazz. Yeampo.

705
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: LaMelo's making people watch that team. And it's been a

706
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: long time since anyone's watched Charlotte naturally, and if you

707
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: will tune in, you'll stay a few minutes. You know,

708
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: you may not watch six you two hours, but you'll

709
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: watch fifteen minutes. And a year ago you wouldn't even

710
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: pause on that team. Yeah, they're they're fun. I mean

711
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: it's Gordon Hayward is playing okay when he's not banged up,

712
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: but they have you know, Rogier's played well. But I

713
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: need Lonzo to be more like LaMelo. I mean, hello,

714
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: went for thirty and eight last night. He's a real deal.

715
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned a couple of things to a tongue Ioloa.

716
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: He was talking about his teammate Mac Jones, and Mac

717
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: Jones was one of those guys that when the season

718
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: ended and the scouts were looking at Mac Jones at

719
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: least with my sores, they weren't quite sure because scouts

720
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: have been fooled by these quarterbacks who play on talented

721
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: teams that just about every game they go out there,

722
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: they're a better team. And Mac Jones is the latest

723
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: quarterback wasn't highly recruited. He was going to go to Kentucky,

724
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: went to Alabama backup quarterback there with Tuah, and then

725
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, steps in and he completes seventy

726
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: percent of his passes, makes all the right throws. But

727
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: he's also throwing to guys who were going to be

728
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: first round draft picks, or a running back who's going

729
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: to be a first round draft pick, or offensive lineman

730
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: first round draft picks. This goes back to what I

731
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: said about Dwayne Haskins when I watched him play in

732
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: person against Michigan. I thought this isn't like I don't

733
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: know any more about him watching him in person, because

734
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: I thought that his receivers were so much better than

735
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: Michigan's defensive backs, that it was so easy. Had a

736
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: good running back, good offensive line, really good defense. And

737
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell Dwayne Haskins if he had really separated

738
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: himself as something special. And I still don't know that,

739
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: and we may not know that until Pittsburgh gives him

740
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: a shot. But is mac Jones going to suffer from that?

741
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: Last I heard he's a top ten pick? Pretty crazy?

742
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: James Harden, MVP. I'll have that conversation with myself coming

743
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: up and we'll check in with the Cardinals back after this.

744
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: One more item as we close out first hour, and

745
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: it's a Rockoto dot Com. This was a family business.

746
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: It founded by automotive engineers in nineteen ninety nine and

747
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: Rockauto dot Com two goals in mind. First, giving you

748
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: direct access to all the parts information hidden in the

749
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: computers and catalogs behind the parts store counter. In second,

750
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: they just want to make the prices affordable, reliably low prices,

751
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: and Rock Auto's cutting out the middlemen. You go right

752
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: to them. They have the correct parts for vehicles of

753
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: all ages. A vehicle that turns the engine off at

754
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: every stoplight, or the battery installed in the trunk needs

755
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: a modern AGM battery. They've thought of everything for you, Yes,

756
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: even car batteries delivered right to your door. You don't

757
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: waste time and money looking for these parts, phoning, driving,

758
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: waiting in lines, so you go to rockouto dot com.

759
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: Make sure you tell them we sent you. There'll be
