1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecock three and Out

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: podcast back and add it again. We are close. We

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: are very, very very close to football. It's July as

4
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm recording this year, probably listening on the sixteenth or

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos start training camp this week. Most

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: teams start next week. The veterans will be in by

7
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: the end of the week and we'll have actual football. Now,

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: training camp isn't quite what it used to be. There's

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: no hitting, there's no tackling, but at least football. I mean,

10
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: we're what once August Hits were a little little over

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: a month away, So we are about I don't know,

12
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: forty five days until football games, I mean college football.

13
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: That that first weekend is usually August twenty ninth, August September,

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: August one, September one. You know, we usually had that

15
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: whole weekend Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday night where I

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: just vege on college football, and then we got NFL

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: starting that Thursday. Oh, I can't wait. I got a

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: big show this week. Uh. Some information, some numbers came

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: out about the revenue sharing, and I think it speaks

20
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: to just the overall health of the dominance of the NFL.

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: You know, the franchise tag. In my backyard, a kicker

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: was paid. You know, he did basically declined the franchise tag.

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 1: They signed Robbie Gold to ten million dollars. Uh, Grady

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Jarrett got sixty eight million dollars in Clowney and that

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't come to an agreement. Now, part of that

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: is unlike the Falcons and the forty nine ers, Bill

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Obriant doesn't want to sign Clowney to a long term deal.

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Like unless Clowney was willing to sign like a thirty

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: million dollar guaranteed contract, Bill O'Brien was never gonna give

30
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: him seventy or eighty million. But just have some thoughts

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: on the Franchi Ice tag and then someone in my

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: d MS Middlecoff mail bag will be last. You can

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: always slide up in my d M s at John

34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is my Instagram handle. But just people have been

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: shooting me some ideas. You know, we've had some ideas

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: on fantasy football. Maybe we'll start a three and now

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: fantasy football league. Someone's like, you should go through all

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks and just go there ceiling in their floor.

39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: So what I did is I wrote down Rose and

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Allan Donald Lamar, I mean basically every quarterback under twenty

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: six seven, and I wrote what I think they're ceiling

42
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: in what their floor is? Fun little exercise, and then

43
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: we'll finish with the a f C west Over unders

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: and odds to win the division. But let's start with

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. There was a tweet this week that the

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: ten largest audiences on television for sporting events were all

47
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: NFL games. Shocker. The NFL dominates there in a different

48
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: category than the NBA, which thinks they're really big because

49
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: they're on Twitter. And again, the NBA is big. I

50
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: watched a ton of NBA. They're taking a lot of markets,

51
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: but they don't hold a candle to the NFL, just

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: like baseball, who actually Baseball will tell you They're All

53
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: Star Game did a lot higher number than the NBA

54
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: All Star Game. Now, little skewed Baseball Star Game on

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Fox the NBA All Star Game on T n T,

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: so it's a little different. But again we're nitpicking. Baseball

57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: and basketball are fighting for real estate and the NFL

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: is just in a different world. And there was a

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: story every year there's a revenue share and it's the

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: great part about the NFL. It's why many people in

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: business will tell you it's arguably the greatest business going

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: right now in all of America. Like I got family

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: and farming, and when they have a good year, you

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: can crush it right. You can make a ton of money,

65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: and when you have a bad year, you can make nothing.

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I got family in the beer business. When things are

67
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: going well, you can make a lot of money. But

68
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: loss can change, rules can change, things can change. You're

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: not guaranteed any amount of money every year in the NFL.

70
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: Your highest expense every year is your players. I think

71
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: this year the number was eight million, or might be

72
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: a dight now it was a hundred eighty I think

73
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: last fiscal year they just got to check the NFL

74
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: for two hundred and seventy three million dollars. And I

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: read a staff that I guess with insurance, all your

76
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: guys that go on I are all the payouts from

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: whatever the the average I think most teams were around

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: between a hundred and seventy and one to eighty million.

79
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: The average payout for everything including insurance and all this

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: other stuff was two fifteen million, So you're still sixty

81
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: million in the plus. So if you're coaching staff. Hell,

82
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: even if you're paying John Gruden ten million dollars and

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the rest of his coaching staff, I don't know a

84
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: combined three or four. If your coordinators least make a million,

85
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: all your assistants had up to another couple of million,

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: you still have a ton of revenue. That's not even

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: counting your game day receipts, parking, food. You just all

88
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the revenue that you're gaining signage inside your stadium. It

89
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: can't be overstated the amount of cash that is being

90
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: generated right now by the NFL. And I know, I

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: know the progressive Twitter love shipping on the NFL. They

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: got issues. Yeah, every league has issues. You know, every

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: league has issues. And I recently went out on a

94
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: date online data and with with an older lady. You know,

95
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm about to be thirty five. She was in her

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: forties and she had a child, a young boy, and

97
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: she's like, you think I'm gonna let him play football?

98
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: And I said, of course you should let him play football,

99
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: especially in high school. I mean, I didn't play I

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: didn't play football. Padded football to whilom in high school.

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: I got no problem like Peewee's Junior Peewee's, but you

102
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: can play in high school. The game has never been safer.

103
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: The game has made massive amounts of progress in keeping

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: the game safe. Now. Personally, I like the violence, I

105
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: like the hitting, I like snop bubbles, I like watching

106
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: guys get laid out. But from a business standpoint, and now,

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: as on one who depends on the business of football

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: to make money, think about this. All the people that

109
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: are getting rich in the NFL one no sport by

110
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: a wide margin has made more players rich, and that's

111
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: part of just their NBA people would be like, well

112
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: there's more players. Yeah, well that's the sport, and more

113
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: people in the NFL are getting rich than in your sport.

114
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: There's a tiny, tiny percentage in the NBA because there's

115
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: only twelve players on a roster and only probably I

116
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: don't know, eight to nine of them are making seven figures.

117
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Obviously the top couple are making boogoo, just stupid money.

118
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: But the majority of guys in the NBA, you know

119
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: around for four or five years, don't make that much money.

120
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: And in baseball there's double the amount of NBA, but

121
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: it still doesn't reach the equivalent of the NFL. So

122
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: it's all the players are obviously getting rich, all the

123
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: coaches are clearly getting rich, all the executives are getting rich.

124
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. A lot of people in

125
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: the media, like me, I wouldn't call myself getting rich yet,

126
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: but I'm making pretty damn good money just talking about

127
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: the NFL like this is a cash cow that's feeding

128
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So I often get offended. And

129
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying Roger Gidell is perfect. They haven't

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: screwed up over the years. Welcome to life. Everyone screws up.

131
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: But they are generating so much cash for so many

132
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: people in the game. I just don't know if it

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: could be any healthier. I mean, now that I do

134
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: this show and you guys slide up in my dams, all,

135
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: I get so many questions now. And I never played

136
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: fantasy football because I always aspired to work in real football.

137
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: So once I did it, and then I realized I

138
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: was a little overrating working in the NFL, but like

139
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: it was awesome, and then I've I started playing daily

140
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: fantasy the last couple of years. I've still never played

141
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: in the fantasy football league. Maybe I need to more

142
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: be more open to it because clearly a lot of

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: you guys like it, and again, it's a big reason

144
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: for generating money for the league. Here's another thing the

145
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: NFL has going forward. I say it all the time.

146
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: Like again, I talked crap about the other two sports.

147
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I got the Giants game on right now. They're five

148
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: games under five hundred, but they won like nine of eleven.

149
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: I consume an unhealthy amount of live events literally every

150
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: day of the year, multiple live events a day, all

151
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: sporting events. So I watched a lot of the NBA.

152
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: But as a gambler, and I've been gambling pretty consistently

153
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: since college took a little hiatus in the NFL. I

154
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know if it was legal or not. But I

155
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: also scouted the West coast, so i'd slide through Vegas

156
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: and I always I was like Pete Rose, I'd always

157
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: bet on my team. Uh. One game, I think I

158
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: lost some cash. We lost to the Ravens. But uh,

159
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: gambling on football is Gambling on basketball sucks because in

160
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: the NBA currently, you never know who's gonna play or not.

161
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: Load management. All of a sudden, you bet on one

162
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: team the dudes not playing, and obviously in basketball one

163
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: player impacts the game greatly. In baseball, I mean, the

164
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: only time I'd ever bet on baseball as if I'm

165
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: in Vegas and drunk. Otherwise I would never bet on

166
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: a baseball game. Now the playoffs are a little different,

167
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: but football, every regular season game is fun to bet on,

168
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: and obviously the playoffs speaks for itself, and the Super

169
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: Bowl is the most bet event of the year. I've actually,

170
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: as someone again who loves to gamble, golf, to me,

171
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: beside March madness, is the second most entertaining sport to

172
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: bet on. Now, it's the hardest because you usually betting

173
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: on one guy. I mean, you are betting on one

174
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: guy against the field. Now you can bet on top

175
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: fives and top tens. But the NFL, to me, the

176
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: point spread the teams are the closest, is the most

177
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: competitive league is the most entertaining sport to gamble on.

178
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: So when I often hear like what gambling is gonna

179
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: do for sports, No, gambling is gonna help football. I

180
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna help the other sports anywhere

181
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: near as much, And as someone who participates in gambling,

182
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that that's the case. So the NFL

183
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: the demise. Everyone was writting him off a couple of

184
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: years ago. They were smart because this would be the

185
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: one thing if I ever sat down with Adam Silver.

186
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I know you love being progressive, but it turns a

187
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: lot of people off. I don't want to hear about

188
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: politics with sports. So yeah, they quote unquote support their players.

189
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: So does the NFL. The NFL had one issue with

190
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: one guy, Colin Kaepernick. Kenny Stills still does stuff. He's

191
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: still in the league. A lot of guys do now.

192
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: They blackball Colin Kaepernick. Fact I agree there. I'm not

193
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: ignorant enough. I had a front row seat for it

194
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: that that happened. I don't know exactly how it happened,

195
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: like if everyone talked, but once Colin Kaepernick started suing

196
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: the league, like I got news for you, it's it's

197
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: why today. And I'm not trying to go down this

198
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick rabbit hole. But he got blackballed originally and

199
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: then he chose to sue the league. In the moment

200
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: he did that, he was never going to play in

201
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: the NFL again. And it's one conversation that I consistently

202
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: see on Twitter, like why is Colin Kaepernick not in

203
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: the league. Well, I don't know, did you. Guys? See,

204
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: he had a lawsuit against the league, and they paid

205
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: him off to go away. Like usually, like once you

206
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: pay off your wife to go away, you no longer

207
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: still date your wife or married to your wife. Right,

208
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: it's over. The relationship ended there. So the NFL has

209
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: had its issues. They've done a good job to get

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: out of it. H Roger Goodell, who is a much

211
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: malign commissioner over the years, again has made players executives.

212
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Coch Is clearly himself and a lot of people like

213
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: myself associated just on the periphery of the NFL a

214
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: lot of money, well not me, a lot of money,

215
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, being able to be

216
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: gainfully employed because people care about the NFL. Fans care

217
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: about the NFL. Why, because it's the one sport. When

218
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: the season starts consistently that over half the league has

219
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: a legitimate shot to make a run, to not just

220
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but to make a run. Now, when

221
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: all the dust settles, you're like, oh, that team actually

222
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. But as we sit here in

223
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: the middle of July, I would imagine twenty plus franchises

224
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: are pretty bullsh on their team, and twenty plus franchises

225
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: the fan basis could talk themselves into I think we

226
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: got a chance this year, and clearly, even if your

227
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: team doesn't, you're still watching. I saw this thing tweeted

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: the other day from CNB sees Twitter account, and it

229
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: was like Jeff Bezos and I think like ninety seven

230
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: or when Amazon was kind of taken off. I mean,

231
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: this is twenty plus years ago, and I mean he

232
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: still stands by this motto. But all he talked about

233
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: was all Amazon's goal and company motto was going to

234
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: be was everything is pro consumer. We're gonna have the

235
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: best customer service, We're gonna have the cheapest prices. We

236
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: are gonna do everything possible to make it the best

237
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: experience for the consumer, because at the end of the day,

238
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: consumers love us one, they'll be loyal and we'll always

239
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: have their business and too, it just grows and grows

240
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: and grows. Now, obviously no one ever thought they would

241
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: become what they be what they have become, but they

242
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: are still a consumer friendly organization in two thousand nineteen,

243
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: is arguably the biggest company maybe statistically they are the

244
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: biggest company in the world. I mean, hell, as one

245
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: of my buddies who lives in d C was telling me,

246
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we all any one that follows

247
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: business knows this, but I think sometimes it escapes our mind.

248
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: Like they don't make money off the products. They actually

249
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: lose money off shipping your stuff. There's a reason you

250
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: go to best Buy and you look at something and

251
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: then you type it into Amazon and it's way cheaper.

252
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: Like Basils ain't making cash off that. Now, he's making

253
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot of money off a lot of other things,

254
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: but he's not making cash off that. And I say

255
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: this all the time about the NFL. They are by

256
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: far the most consumer friendly organization. And a big reason

257
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: for that is is the franchise tag. Because when you

258
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: have a great player, you can just keep them right

259
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: and at worst case scenario, you can just keep franchising them.

260
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: Hew al Davis years ago did it over and over

261
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: and over with Charles Woodson. We see an apple of

262
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and he's not a great player. But you

263
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: know what I say, if you want to keep a guy,

264
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: you can just franchise tag him worst even if you

265
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: don't really want to keep him, but you don't really

266
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: want to lose them, you don't really want to pay him.

267
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: You can just franchise them. And guess what why we're

268
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: all fans of all the sports first and foremost because

269
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: we started rooting for teens and in the NBA for

270
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: as fun as the off season is, Like, is it

271
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: cool if you're Charlotte Hornet fan and Kemla Walker just leaves,

272
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: Or if you were an Okay See fan three years

273
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: ago and Kevin Durant just leaves, or last year when

274
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: Lebron just bounces for Cleveland, like that sucks. That does

275
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: not happen in the NFL Because the end of the

276
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: day off Lebron James in the NFL and he wanted

277
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: to leave, they'd say, sorry, buddy, you ain't going anywhere.

278
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: And to me, it's a big reason for maybe big

279
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: reasons strong, but it's a it's a part of the

280
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: health of the NFL. You keep really good players, even

281
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: if it is contentious, even if they end up holding

282
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: out like it's it's a pro for the fan. Now.

283
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: I think if you take a step back, and even

284
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: most fans with common sense would say, you know what

285
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: it is a little it's a little messed up, right,

286
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: maybe in this new cb A, because if you've been

287
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: falling pro football talks tweeted a out it. I think

288
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: the NFL kind of leaked that the talks have been healthy,

289
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: and then they leaked that there's gonna be eighteen games,

290
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna be some very interesting conversations

291
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: in this new cb A. What's gonna happen with marijuana?

292
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: I say it all the time with weed One Weed

293
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: and Delivery Service my biggest sponsor on my other podcast,

294
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: Like I got news for you, we weed is. Weed

295
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: is here to stay. We're never going back, and it's

296
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the biggest businesses in America in

297
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean federally illegal in five to six years. And

298
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: if you don't think half the owners are getting high

299
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: and coaches are getting high, you're out of your mind.

300
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: And I say this all the time. I don't think

301
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: the owners care. That they really don't care, because again

302
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them are smoking. I think

303
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: the problem they have, uh is I think there are

304
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: insurance purposes because it's not federally legal, that if they

305
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: weren't gonna ban it, their financial ramifications because again, all

306
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: this stuff relates to money. But in this new CVA agreement,

307
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: one of the things with the franchise tag one imagine

308
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: this and I you see this sometime on Twitter, like

309
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: don't compare regular people to pro athletes. Well, let's just

310
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: do an exercise here, because it's money is all relative.

311
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: If you go from a hundred grand to two grand,

312
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: that feeling is like when a guy goes from a

313
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: million to two million dollars, or when you go from

314
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: fifty grand to a hundred grand. Like, doubling your income

315
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: is doubling your income. It's relative at any amount of money.

316
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: So let's just say you were a player making I

317
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: don't know, three million dollars Robbie Gold last year made

318
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: two million dollars a little less it maybe it was

319
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: like two point two, and this franchise tag was going

320
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: to more than double his income. Like, yeah, it sucks,

321
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: you can't go anywhere else. But if you're more than

322
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: doubling your income, there are worst inconveniences in life. Now

323
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: the what every sport has fought for in free agency.

324
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Part of being a free agent is the key thing

325
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: there is free like you can do or go wherever

326
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: you want, whatever the market Bears. So maybe like a

327
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: compromise on this next c B A would be, what

328
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: if you if you're gonna franchise tag me for like Clowney,

329
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: who's getting fifteen million, remember last year Levian Bell, who

330
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: is franchise two years in a row. Maybe the contract

331
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: should be you have to at the highest number. It's

332
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: guaranteed for two years. So for example, if Clowney, I

333
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: don't even know what it's franchise tag number, let's just

334
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: say it's fifteen million dollars. If you are going to

335
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: franchise tag me, you guarantee me a two year deal

336
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: at thirty million dollars, So it's double the price or

337
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: whatever that franchise number would be, you know, based on

338
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: those two years. Remember it goes up, like I think

339
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: in the second year. So maybe it's okay, you're gonna

340
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 1: franchise me. You're guaranteeing me thirty five million dollars, and

341
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: then if you do trade me to another team, that

342
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: team has to negotiate a new contract. That franchise tag

343
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: doesn't follow me like I'm a free agent. You're trading

344
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: me to that team, they have my rights, but they

345
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: have to pay me a deal. You know, again, I

346
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: I haven't thought all this out and would be complicated,

347
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: but maybe that's something the players could could fight for.

348
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: And I've heard Albert Brewer, I think he's told column

349
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: this before. I know he's written this, that actually the

350
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: franchise tag us in the media and people on Twitter

351
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: complain about it more than the players, because again, let's

352
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: just pick a person, and I think the average income

353
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: in America is like fifty grand, So let's say a

354
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: guy would double that amount of income. You're just making

355
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: a hundred grand. Imagine if your company that you wanted

356
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: to leave, but they're like, you know what, We'll guarantee

357
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: you two years at four hundred grand, Like you probably

358
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: could suck it up for a couple of years. And again,

359
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: one of the big reasons these guys, the guys that

360
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: do bitch and moan about the franchise tag, is because

361
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't give them that much security, because if you

362
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: do get hurt that year the franchise tag, you might

363
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: never make into your second franchise tag year. That was

364
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: Levian Bell's big issue. Now it kind of bit him

365
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: in the ass, but he had technically already made it

366
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: to the second year. Like they were offering in the money.

367
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Once you start playing your guarantee that money. He just

368
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna get a lot more money that

369
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: ended up not coming. I just do think there is

370
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: an angle for these players to argue. If you are

371
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: going to franchise tag, it immediately rolls over to a

372
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: two year contract at a hundred you know that year

373
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: plus a hundred percent of that number you know again,

374
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: so fifteen million, It would be like a two year

375
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollar deal if the Texans want to

376
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: sign them. So it disancent de incentivizes teams that don't

377
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: really want that player. Like, one thing is clear, We've

378
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: seen the forty Niners wanted Robbie Gold. No. People with

379
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: the forty Niners people were like today, the forty Niners

380
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: gave into Robbie Gold's demands. No, They've had this offer

381
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: on the table for like three months. Robbie Gold just

382
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be on the Bears. The Niners and Robbie

383
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: Gold were not bitching and moaning about money. It was

384
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: that Robbie Gold does not want to live in California anymore.

385
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: He never moved his kids out here, he never moved

386
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: his wife out here. He lives in a hotel. He

387
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: wants to play for the Bears. Now, someone clearly got

388
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: into his ear and said, Robbie, one thing, the franchise

389
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: tag this year would have paid you what you've made

390
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: the last three years combined to with this two year,

391
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: ten million dollar offer. You're just insane not to take it.

392
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: I think he'd made like a career, like nineteen million

393
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: dollars in his career. Again, ten million dollars, if you're

394
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: a kicker, is a lot of money, and he just

395
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: he took it. Now, I still think and I don't know.

396
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: I haven't texted anyone with the Niners today. I don't

397
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: know if he's truly happy. Like he he didn't really

398
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: want to sign that deal. He just did it out

399
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: of financial I mean, just having some financial sense. Grady Jarrett,

400
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: clearly they wanted him. He wanted to be there. Boom Boom,

401
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: the one with the Houston Texans. Like Bill Brian does

402
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: not want Clowney on his team. In a perfect world,

403
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: he would trade him for a pick, or trade him

404
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: for a player and get rid of them. The problem

405
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: is when you have a guy that the entire league

406
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: knows you don't want, and then it's on the franchise

407
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: tag and then also wants some money, it makes it

408
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: pretty complicated. Unless he's Khalil Mack. You know, we're Aaron Donald,

409
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: where the entire league would trade for him and then

410
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: pay him. Clowney is not of that level. Like no

411
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: one in the NFL is trading a first round pick

412
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: for him and then giving him eighty million dollars guaranteed.

413
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: So they're in a complicated situation. But again, I don't

414
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: have this quite all mapped out. I just know I'm

415
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: onto something. If he was on a two year, thirty

416
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract, and again I had originally said

417
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: that maybe you couldn't trade it, but maybe you could,

418
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: and maybe Clowney would be, you know, more open to

419
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: signing that contract because unlike a lot of players that

420
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: bitch and moan about the franchise tag, because if you

421
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: get franchise tag and you weren't a first round pick,

422
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: you haven't made that much money. Clowney was a number

423
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: one overall pick. I saw someone tweek today. If you

424
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: factored in last his first four years and his fifth

425
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: year option, he's made fifty million dollar dollars. I guess

426
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: you would have made fifty million dollars after this franchise

427
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: tag number, so he's already made thirty six million or

428
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars. I'm sorry, Clowny. I'm not totally

429
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: crying for you. You're you're super rich and you're gonna

430
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: be richer. Just are you gonna get seventy eighty million

431
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed or someone's gonna try to sign you for

432
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: sixty guaranteed? Like you're gonna make some money either way.

433
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: But it does become complicated if you know, I don't

434
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: think he's the highest level player and I gotta trade

435
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: for him. But if you could trade that two year,

436
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollar deal, maybe Clowney would have already

437
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: been traded. Maybe Bill O'Brien would feel comfortable about him

438
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: playing on that number. I don't know, but I think

439
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: the franchise tag is going to be tweaked, but hopefully

440
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: I don't want it to go away because I I

441
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: do think that really benefits. We don't want Kawhi Leonard leaving,

442
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, three teams in three years, Lebron James

443
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: leaving every other year. That would not be good for

444
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. We have enough movement as it is. The

445
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: NFL is more of a team game than a player game. Okay,

446
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: let's do a little listener inspired segment. I don't even

447
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: really know what to call this. I'll just go young quarterback, hierarchy,

448
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: and hierarchy is probably the wrong word. Just go young quarterback,

449
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: ceilings and floors. And basically, I just took every guy

450
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: that's been drafted and since like two thousand fourteen, the starters,

451
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: and I wrote them all down. Josh Rosen, Josh Allen,

452
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Watson Mariotta, Mahomes, Car

453
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Dock Wentz, Jamis, Jared Goff. I did not include this

454
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: year's rookie class Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, and Drew Lock

455
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: just because I don't know, you know, just I gotta

456
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: wait till this. I don't know why. I just can't

457
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: do it, you know, because I don't know, you know.

458
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I even throw Josh Rosen somewhat in that group, just

459
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: because last year was such a disaster first team and

460
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: then he gets traded to the Dolphins, and I if

461
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: you've been listening to the show for a long time,

462
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: I was a Josh Rosen fan coming out of college,

463
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: and I still liked the talent, but I don't even

464
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: ceiling floor. I really have no clue, Like, do you

465
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: think Josh Rosen is gonna fail? He might, He's already

466
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: on his second team in twelve months. Do you think

467
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good? He might? But who knows? I mean,

468
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: his quarterback coach, Jim calledwell. I think it was reported,

469
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: say Monday, when it was at him on Saturday, or

470
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe it was yesterday. I might have Friday. I don't

471
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: know the last three or four days that he's sick

472
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: and he's not he's not gonna be able to be

473
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach. I don't know what his illnesses. But

474
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: he had to take his leave apps and step away

475
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: from the team, so he's not really gonna be a

476
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: full time coach anymore. That's a pretty big deal. So

477
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: I to me, he's a great unknown. Kyler Murray is

478
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: a great unknown, Daniel Jones a great unknown, Andrew Locks

479
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: a great unknown. I just, I just I can't even

480
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: comment with a straight face and just be bs and you.

481
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: But let's go Josh Allen here. I'm just gonna start

482
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: the way I wrote him down. I went to ESPN

483
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: dot com, looked at the basically the standings, and I

484
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: just wrote them down based So I started on the

485
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: a f C East and kind of work my way

486
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: down to the NFC West. Josh Allen, I think best

487
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: case scenario, he's like a Kaepernick meets Big Ben because

488
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: he's a big armed, big strong athletic. He clearly can

489
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: run and he can make big plays a little like

490
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: you know Wentz. I think him and Wentz actually have

491
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: some similarities. Uh now, he's not as good as Wentz,

492
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying like there is a if he hits.

493
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: This guy has the ability to be pretty special because

494
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: he has the physical characteristics. He's a big time athlete.

495
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: I've been following him on Instagram for like a year.

496
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: He is an impressive guy. I'm just I'm rooting for him.

497
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: But I think the problem is he's got a lot

498
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: of bus potential. He's in an organization that you know,

499
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: has been pretty inconsistent over the years. Now, I like

500
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermots. Sean mcdermot's defensive guy. So Sean McDermott is

501
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: not helping about his mechanics, helping him out with the mindset.

502
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: It's just not he's a defensive guy his offensive coordinator.

503
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: At the moment, they have a good offensive years offensive

504
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: coordinator is gonna get a job. So I do think

505
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: there's some level. Like Jake Locker, he had that short

506
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: window where you're like, oh, there's something there, and then

507
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: he was just a bus. Now his bus was a

508
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: little more injuries, but he was always inaccurate. He was

509
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: a much smaller version of Josh Allen. But when you're

510
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: consistently inaccurate, it's hard to consistently win on Sundays. And

511
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: as a buddy in the league text me after their

512
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: free agency, They're like, well, they have an inaccurate quarterback

513
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: and they signed two majorate receivers. You know you're gonna

514
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen. You need big, tall, you know, guys

515
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: with huge catching radiuses, and they got small guys. So

516
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him. I think he's probably more likely

517
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: to never live up to what he should be than

518
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: become this big Ben Kaepernick hybrid, say Kaepernick, I mean

519
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: the good version, Sam Donald. I think he's got a

520
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: lot of Tony Romo. I was watching the American Century

521
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: Golf Tournament. Tony row Will treats that thing like the Masters.

522
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: He's wanting back to back years. He beat the crap

523
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: out of everyone this year. I mean no one was

524
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: in like ten points of them dominated the field. But

525
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: then then last night, I'm flipping the channels and I

526
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: grabbed some dinner, and I'm just flipping the channels, like

527
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: six thirty at night, nothing on Sunday night, and all

528
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Tony Rama Football Life song and

529
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: I come in, like five minutes in. I watched the

530
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: whole thing. I'm just glued. My god, what an incredible story.

531
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: Undrafted free agent becomes a four time Pro bowler and

532
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: one of the toughest players of his generation. But he

533
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: was kind of like this ad lib, just just a

534
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: fun player to watch. And I think Sam Donald has

535
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: a chance to just be a fun player to watch.

536
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: But his bus potentially throws a lot of picks. He's

537
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: pretty inaccurate. I couldn't quite think of the quarterback who

538
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: we'd be like, but he's got a chance to maybe

539
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: just never that good of a player, you know, I

540
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: think it's that simple to me. Lamar Jackson. Remember r

541
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: G three's first year, when obviously the stats were a

542
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: little skewed because they were throwing easy passes but it

543
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: was clear, like this guy is really talented. Like you

544
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: just watch Lamar run around, he can hit some big plays,

545
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Like clearly there's a lot of talent there. So I'd say,

546
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: best case scenario, he kind of comes in that rookie

547
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: version of r G three, but he's able to kind

548
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: of just contain it, you know. I think r G

549
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: three was a much more consistent passer before he got

550
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: all banged up, But Lamar Jackson can just become this

551
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: dynamic hybrid. The thing I worry about in r G

552
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: three is also a good example here is when you

553
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: run around, Like when that when you're a quarterback that

554
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: runs around, especially not just behind the line of scrimmage

555
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Tony Romo style, and Tony Romo got hurt a lot,

556
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: but past the line of scrimmage, you're gonna get hurt.

557
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: And RG three is a lot biggeran Lamar Jackson, like

558
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is small, So that that would make me worried,

559
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: especially in that division. Like when I think the a

560
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: f C North, I immediately just think tough guy division.

561
00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: It's cold Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Like it's not a not

562
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: a hug you every this isn't the Big twelve brother

563
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: as Dan Hawkins coaching UC Davis, who actually just lined

564
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: up USC on their schedule two thousand eleven first time

565
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: and in uh school history. My dad if he was

566
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: still around, and be very fired up for that game.

567
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to watch that in his honor

568
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: UC Davis USC two years from now. Uh, Baker Mayfield.

569
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear Baker Mayfield has all the ingredients to

570
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: be a big time player. I think his most natural

571
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: comparison similar height Hanks, has hat on accuracy. He's actually

572
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: got a stronger arm than this guy. Now, this guy

573
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: is a much more consistent human being then Maker, but

574
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: would just be the player, would be Drew Brees. Now,

575
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: the one thing that separates Breeze is just how steady

576
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: of a human is he is? Now, Baker Mayfield, I

577
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: follow him on Instagram Fallow actually his wife on Instagram,

578
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: and he's a newlywed. Sometimes young guys super cocky what ever,

579
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: And it's not like Baker was really a screw around guy,

580
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: has had a couple of shoes in the past. Maybe

581
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: he really matures. Imagine they'll have some children here soon.

582
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he becomes like Drew Brees. But that incident this

583
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: offseason with Duke Johnson, him talking a bunch of shit

584
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: about a guy that really did nothing wrong, you know,

585
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: rubbed me the wrong way. Like that's immaturity. Now again,

586
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: when I was twenty three, twenty four years old, I

587
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: think anyone listening to this, who's you know in their

588
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: thirties or forties when you were that age, you're immature.

589
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: You say things that you regret. So maybe in three

590
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: or four years Baker looks back and says and just realizes, yeah,

591
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said that. Now. What made Drew Brees

592
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: pretty special is Drew Brees never said things he shouldn't regret.

593
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: He was elite character from probably the time he was

594
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: like ten years old. So like that's really kind of

595
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: what separates Drew Brees beside the elite accuracy, because Drew

596
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: Brees comp is really Steve Young, who again elite maturity,

597
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: elite accuracy. So it's to me if Baker matures, because

598
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: he clearly has the physical attributes with his accuracy and

599
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: better arm than both those guys, he should be a

600
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: pretty good player. And when I think if he busts,

601
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: like who's he gonna look? Like? It's hard to bust

602
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: when you're accurate. So I don't see him busting quote

603
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: unquote busting because he's gonna be a better player. In

604
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: case Keenum, he's probably you know, just as good of

605
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: a player as Kirk Cousins. Like maybe he doesn't become

606
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: a pro bowler, but he's playing in the league for

607
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: ten plus years. Worst case scenario, and you know, I

608
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: don't really see it worst Like worst case scenario to

609
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: me is probably somewhere in the middle. He maybe doesn't

610
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: win as much as should, but he's gonna play in

611
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: the league for a long time. Deshaun Watson, you know,

612
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: I think there's some sort of Steve McNair, this athlete,

613
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: but he makes plays with his arm. McNair probably had

614
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: a better arm. I originally wrote down McNabb, but when

615
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: I first got a job in Philly, I remember sitting

616
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: down with Douce Staley and he showed me some like

617
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: late nineties film. I mean, Donovan McNabb, if he was

618
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: a base ball pitcher, was throwing like a hundred miles

619
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: an hour. Deshaun Watson is not have a great arm. Now.

620
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: Steve McNair had a pretty good arm too, So I

621
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: don't think he has as as good as arm of any

622
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: of these guys. But there's just like McNair, I remember

623
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: watching him with the Titans. We all do, there's just

624
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: something special about him, which is kind of a gamer.

625
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: I think there's just something kind of special about Deshaun Watson,

626
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: and there has been since he was in college. Dabbo,

627
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, probably the second best coach right now in

628
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: college football. You could argue at this moment in time

629
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: he's better coach because he beat him the last time

630
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: they played, than Saving, but I still give Saving the

631
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: nod resume. The point stands like, is there hyperbole or

632
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: is Dabbo just kind of telling you I had this guy,

633
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: I won Natty's he's a superstar. I think that's what

634
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: he was telling you. And clearly Deshaun Watson when he's played,

635
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: they've been pretty damn good. I think the worst case

636
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use this guy a couple of times is

637
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: like the shittier version of Alex Smith before he kind

638
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: of like probably what Hardball had, because if you remember

639
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: what Harbaugh had, he got a lot better with Andy

640
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: Hardba had a guy throwing for a couple of hundred yards,

641
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: his arm limited him but again, Deshawn's already better than that,

642
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: kind of like Baker, I have a hard time seeing

643
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: Shawn Deshaun Watson not being a good player. I mean,

644
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: he's just he's already a good player. That's why my

645
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: Alex Smith comp for this next guy, Marcus Mariota fits

646
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: to me the best. I tweeted this a couple of

647
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: years ago. I said, maybe Marcus Mariota is a better

648
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: version Alex Smith. And Titans twitter, which I didn't know

649
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: at the time is basically would be like the equivalent

650
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: of talking crap about Taylor Swift. I mean that they

651
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: came after me. I said, you know, he's Alex Smith,

652
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: but a better version. And you know what, that's probably

653
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: what he is. And I'm talking the Kansas City version

654
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: of Alex Smith. That's Mariota doesn't say much, great guy,

655
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: high character, Alex is probably you know. I actually I

656
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: think Mario is really smart too. I think they're both

657
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: really smart. They're just so physically limited. People forget. But

658
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: like the first three or four years of Alex Smith's

659
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: career in San Francisco, he was always into. He he

660
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: battled a lot of injuries, he missed a lot of games,

661
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: so maybe Mariotta just kind of physically matures a little

662
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: later and can stay healthy. But I think there's a

663
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: chance that if he just busts, he's just one of

664
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: those guys. And to bring this guy back now he's

665
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: a better version of this guy. But like certain players

666
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: Jake Locker is an example, r G three whoever, and

667
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: because he is kind of a runner, just always stay injured.

668
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: Like there's a chance he just can't stay healthy. Patrick Mahomes, well,

669
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean we saw what he was. He's an elite player.

670
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: Like his ceiling is clearly what we saw last year

671
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: and probably even higher because he's still is only his

672
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: first year starting his ceiling. You could argue, as Michael

673
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: Jordan's said, is the roof what Michael was trying to

674
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: say is there is no ceiling That there really isn't.

675
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: I feel like pretty confident saying that this is not

676
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: hyperbole to know that Mahomes kind of has the league

677
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: by the balls. He can be member back seven. Brett

678
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: far won three straight m vps, Peyton won a ton

679
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: of m vps. Like he he has a chance to

680
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: win like three or four MVPs. He has a chance

681
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: to have like an NBA career like Lebron James, just

682
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: win several m vps, help coach read in the Chiefs

683
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: finally win a super Bowl. I guess the Chiefs won

684
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl back like Super Bowl one or two. I

685
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: guess the Packers won the first couple it might have

686
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. My NFL history probably needs a little

687
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: touch up. But as long as and he's there, you know,

688
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't see him busting. He's just too talented,

689
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: you know. The only way I see him busting quote

690
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: unquote we're not living up to his potential or not

691
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: being an elite player for years, is if his ego

692
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: and his head ever get too big. And the one

693
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: thing that and again he's still young. He hasn't been

694
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: paid huge money yet. The Kansas City guys tell you

695
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: the thing he hangs out I was like a maturity.

696
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they love him, and their standard there is

697
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: pretty high. Like they had arguably the best human in

698
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: the league there for five years and Alex Smith, So

699
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: that's their bar when they judge this guy, and they

700
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: think he they think that high of him, like I

701
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: know for a fact. So I just have a hard

702
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: time to seeing Patrick Mahomes not being a great player.

703
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, I think his ceiling is what we saw

704
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: in two thousand sixteen. He can be a Pro Bowl

705
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: level player. And I don't mean like he's made Pro

706
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: Bowl the Pro Bowl other years. I mean legitimately be

707
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl first level pick and a guy that

708
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: can help a team get to ten eleven wins and

709
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: be the guy that had that season. I think like

710
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: seven or eight come fourth quarter comebacks. He has the

711
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: arm strength, he has just the athletic ability. I wouldn't

712
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: call him an ultra accurate quarterback. He's a rhythm guy.

713
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: And when he gets when he gets confidence, uh, he

714
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: can light up any team. But and what's his worst

715
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 1: case what we've seen in the last couple of years.

716
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: A guy that gets skittish, a guy who's clearly has

717
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: some injuries in the back of his head, a guy

718
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: who just doesn't play confident. I would say, of all

719
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the players on this list, and some of them are young,

720
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: so we don't have as much of a sample size,

721
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: but when Derek plays confident, he's a top six or

722
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: seven quarterback in the league. When he doesn't play confident,

723
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 1: he can look like a guy like should we bench

724
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: this player. He to me, of all the players on

725
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: this list, is like the greatest disparity of his highs

726
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: and his lows. Dak Prescott, Uh, you know, I think

727
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: the best we've just seen what we've seen the last

728
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: couple of years. He's a really solid starting quarterback. He's

729
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: a good athlete. He's got a good enough arm. Uh.

730
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: He makes plays late in games so he doesn't get

731
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: rattled when he starts slow. We've seen that over and over.

732
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: It's been kind of a consistent theme in his career.

733
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: He can, I mean no player can start slower and

734
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: then the second half looks like a different player. I think,

735
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: worst case, he just never really gets any better. He's

736
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: kind of like a Jake Plumber type, you know, again,

737
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 1: a good athlete, someone you root for, a high character guy,

738
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: but just kind of leaves a little to be desired.

739
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: But I think if he just stays at this level

740
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: right now and maybe improves his deep ball accuracy a little,

741
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: he's a good player. I think Carson Wentz could become

742
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: a better big bend. I mean, we saw it a

743
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. He's a freak. He's like a

744
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 1: much better version of Josh Allen He's enormous. He's got

745
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: a huge arm. He can toss defenders off him a

746
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: little Cam newton ish too. When he's on, it's just like,

747
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: holy hell, what the hell is this? And then I

748
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: think the bad Now again, he was coming off an

749
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: a c L injury. But you saw last year he

750
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: can just look inaccurate, just no rhythm, you know, when

751
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of gotta pick defenses apart. Again, it was

752
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: a year coming off in a c L, so I

753
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I struggled to judge him too much. But that's all

754
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: I have to go off right now. If that's a

755
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: little more who he is than two years ago, then

756
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: you'd be a little concerned. I think the biggest elephant

757
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: in the room with him is just he was injured

758
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: in college towards a c L at this back thing

759
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: last year. Can he stay healthy? Jameis Winston. I just

760
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: don't really see how he turns it around. I mean really,

761
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: I think he kind of is what he is. And

762
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: I said over and over arians the best coach for him.

763
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: But there's a chance that it just doesn't work. Like

764
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: you can't you know, they say it's hard to teach

765
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: an old dog new tricks like jamis now been a league.

766
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: What's this going into his fourth year, going into his

767
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: fifth year? Like he's he started a lot of games

768
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Uh, he turned the ball overway too much.

769
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: Balls just sail on him downfield, Like that's still something

770
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: that happens to camp. You know. It's not the short

771
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: or intermediate passes. It's like past twenty yards, the ball

772
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: just sails. It's like, who's he three? I mean, Kevin

773
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: Garnett's not playing wide receiver. Who the hell are you

774
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: throwing it to? Now? Again? If anyone could save him

775
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: and be arians, But I don't know, I'm a little hesitant.

776
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: Back when I had a radio show, we used to

777
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: talk to Warren Moon a lot because he was the

778
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: voice of Seattle and we obviously talked a lot of

779
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: Niners and in Seattle, and he used to be adamant

780
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: like he was one of the rare guys in his

781
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: NFL career that was super inaccurate out of college, and

782
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: then as his career went on, he slowly incrementally got

783
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: more accurate. So I'd say, best case scenario, he's just

784
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys that we look up it's like, wow,

785
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: he's really kind down on the turnovers and become more accurate.

786
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm just one of those people that bet against it.

787
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. To me, it's pretty clear if he's healthy,

788
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: he can be pretty special. He's got like to me,

789
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: he can become like a if he's healthy. Again, the

790
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: biggest if on here besides like Mariotta Wentz, there are

791
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: some health guys on here. He's got like a Rogers

792
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: type game. He's kind of an improviser. Rogers is a

793
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: better pure arm. But you know, six too, really good athlete,

794
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: makes things happen outside of the pocket, just gets in

795
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: this rhythm, is really accurate, makes these just super wild plays.

796
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: And then I think if he fails, it's just strictly

797
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: because he just always gets hurt. You know, if Jimmy

798
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: play is gonna be good. If he's not good is

799
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: because he'll be on injury reserve. And as of right now,

800
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: he's been the league five years, he started ten games,

801
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: and he's had two major injuries. So selfishly, I hope

802
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: the Niners are good. I'm gonna need Jimmy G on

803
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: the field. Do I think he'll be there, I don't know.

804
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't bet on it. Jared Goff. I think

805
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: he's already proven to be, like, his floor is pretty high.

806
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: I think the comp for him is probably Matt Ryan.

807
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I think there's some Matt Ryan. If I did you

808
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: put Rosen on this list? Best case, I think he's

809
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: got a little Matt Ryan into him too, And I

810
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: think Jared Goff just can get a little better. But

811
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: he's already good enough. Like we've seen it. You're you're

812
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: if your teams like Jared Goff can be here starting

813
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: quarterback and go to super Bowl, Like Jared Goff is

814
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: good enough to win with in the NFL. And then

815
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: if I did worst case, like he's already better than

816
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. So if for whatever reason the Rams don't

817
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: like him in a couple of years, someone else would

818
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: take him. Like Jared goffs playing this league for ten years,

819
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's getting a long leash because again

820
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: his third year he led a team to the super

821
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: Bowl and he played pretty damn well. I remember watching

822
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: that Saints game during the season, going got Jared Goff's

823
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: gotten really good. Now he's still you know, is he

824
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: is he ever gonna be great? In the elements? Uh?

825
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: You know he's not a great athlete, but when he's on,

826
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: he's super accurate. He's a super high character guy. He's smart.

827
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: I like him. I just don't see him failing. And

828
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: the one guy just thought of that I left off

829
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: here would be Trabisky. Trabisky is a tough one because

830
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: I think he has some He just has some natural flaws.

831
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't have great touch on pretty basic like red

832
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: zone passes, some fade passes. He's a little more of

833
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: an athlete playing quarterback right now. But always be honest here,

834
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm biased. Nag he's my guy. I just think having

835
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy around him, who's a quarterback who's worked with

836
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: all types of different quarterbacks now from Mike Vick to

837
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Cobb to Alex to Mahomes and now Mitch. He's

838
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: got a pretty wide range of players and been around

839
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: coach Read for ten plus years. Like, I don't know

840
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: if there would probably be a better player to work with,

841
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: a hybrid like Shanahan's and mcveigh's, like pocket quarterback reading.

842
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: The Naggies like they like anything. They'll they'll coach Alex

843
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: all day long. They'll play with my Homes. You give

844
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: him Andy Tramisky Andy Reid to make Tramisky work like

845
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't mind. They're much more open minded.

846
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: They just they see a little more talent. They get

847
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: a little Al Davis to him, like, you've got a

848
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: big arm, you got an athletic ability, you're a good guy. Okay,

849
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: let's let's see what you got here. So I I

850
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: think best case, Mr Bisky just becomes a winning player.

851
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't really know exactly as camp because he's got

852
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: a stronger arm than Alex Smith. He's probably a little

853
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: bit more explosive, you know, like an explosive runner, like

854
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: when Aaron Rodgers younger, he could run around. Josh Allen

855
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: On here can run around. He's not Lamar Jackson, but

856
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: he definitely can move. And I think worst case scenario,

857
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: he just never gets any better, you know. And I

858
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: think we'll have a decent feel after this year, like

859
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: anyone can throw a five touchdown game against a really

860
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: shitty team. To me, it's not about the super highs uh,

861
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: not that those are bad. I mean you want five

862
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: touchdown games, but can you just put together a good

863
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: season because you're a good player through sixteen games, you're

864
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of stinkers. But can you know

865
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: of your sixteen starts, can thirteen of them be winning football?

866
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: And you know, if your team is good, you should

867
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: win ten or eleven games. And last year, clearly they

868
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: depended much more on the defense they should have. They

869
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: had the best defense in the league. But this year,

870
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: can it become a little more balanced? Where it goes? Damn?

871
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: You know, even if the Bears defense wasn't as good,

872
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: they'd still be winning with Mitch and I think that's

873
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: the number one goal. Okay, some a f C. West

874
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: Over unders let's dive into it. Clearly, the Chiefs, who

875
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: have won this division now a couple of years in

876
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 1: a row, uh are the heavy favorites, and MNUS won sixty.

877
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: They have the defending MVP as a quarterback. They kind

878
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: of have this unknown with Tyreek Hill, but it's pretty

879
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: clear that he's probably not gonna get suspended long. They're

880
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: big achilles heel this last year, really the last couple

881
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: of years has been their defense. If people forget like

882
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: all the Chiefs, she Us have been an offensive team

883
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but when coach Reid first

884
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: got there and Bob Sutton came with him. They were

885
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: a defensive team, remember that the one year when they

886
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: have a wide receiver's score. When he got there, they

887
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: had Justin Houston, tom baal Lee, don Terry Poe was

888
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: still good, Derrick Johnson was young, Eric Barry was sweet.

889
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: They were good. They drafted Marcus Peters like they were

890
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: a defensive heavy team, So I do think they can

891
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: transition back to somewhat being a little more balanced. They

892
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: did sack quarterback a lot. Now they got rid of

893
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: d Ford, but they added Frank Clark, Chris Jones. You know,

894
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: I saw a p Pro Football Talk headline that they're

895
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: still I don't know what's going to happen there. They

896
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: need Chris Jones and he's one of their better players.

897
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: But to me, they're over under ten. You know, I'd

898
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: say worst case scenario, that's a push. They're a ten

899
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: to twelve win team. I mean, they're just Is Patrick

900
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: Mahomes quarterback. If Patrick Mahomes played sixteen games, I don't

901
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: see how anyway they don't win ten games. They have

902
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: an enormous home field advantage. Uh, they kind of earned

903
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: this super Bowl window now these next couple of years,

904
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: one of the better coaches in the league offensive just

905
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: minds uh Spagnola, you know who knows he can't be

906
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: as bad as Bob Sutton has been the last couple

907
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: of years. It's not all his fault. I mean their personnel.

908
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: They got rid of Marcus Peters, who it was the

909
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: right time, and then Eric Barry got hurt. They added

910
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: the Honey Badger, which I mean, Honey Badger might be

911
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: my favorite player in the league. I just love everything

912
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 1: he stands for. So I think they're gonna be incrementally

913
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: better on defense. Probably won't. I mean, it's gonna be

914
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: hard for the homes to matches year, but if somewhat

915
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: they get a little more balanced, I think there's a

916
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: borderline lock playoff team. I like the over now. The value,

917
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: though is probably you get the Chiefs at minus one sixties,

918
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: so you gotta bet a hundred six dollars to one

919
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: hundred the Chargers, who I think finished with what the

920
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: same record. I guess that maybe they had one less

921
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: loss because they were a wild card team. But you

922
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: get them right now plus one ninety to win the division.

923
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 1: To me, that's where the value is, because I'd say,

924
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: on paper, I would rather have them a homes than Rivers,

925
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: But then the next fifty guys, you could argue the

926
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: Chargers they might have the best roster in football now.

927
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: Coaching staffs all back the question. One of their key

928
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: players is holding out. He's a running back who running

929
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: backs are replaceable, but this guy catches fifty plus balls

930
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: in their offense, runs for about a thousand yards. Is

931
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: a really good player. Melvin Gordon's a really good player.

932
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: That being said, they got a lot Hunter Henry's coming

933
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: back off the injury. Keenan Allen established themself as one

934
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. Mike Williams really

935
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: came on last year. Their offensive line is much improved,

936
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: their defensive line, I mean, they got multiple blue chip players.

937
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: They're just they got multiple good defensive backs. They're just good.

938
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no disputing it. There over under

939
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: the nine and a half. To me, it feels like

940
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: these two teams are playoff teams again. I think the

941
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: only question is it's one of the bigger wins in

942
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: Philip rivers career that Thursday night game when he went

943
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: to Arrowhead and got that win. Just a remarkable win

944
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: by Rivers. But it's just who's gonna win the division?

945
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I would lean the Chiefs, but I think the Charges

946
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: are pretty damn good to me. A differentiating factor in

947
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: this scenario is that one team has a home field advantage.

948
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: The Chargers play in front of the Home Depot Center,

949
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: which tends to be you know, not even home game.

950
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: So I think that's a big reason why this team

951
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: probably won't win thirteen games, probably end up at eleven.

952
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: So I'd say it's a coin flip to me. The

953
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: values on the Chargers. These next two teams are pretty interesting.

954
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: The Broncos, like you just talked to people in the league.

955
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: They go on paper and I agree. Their defense is

956
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: pretty good. They have a Hall of Fame pass rusher

957
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: and Von Miller. They drafted a guy last year at

958
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: number five overall who looks like he's gonna be a badass.

959
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 1: I mean, Bradley Chubb might be short changing him. Levin

960
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: Sacks might have been twelve sacks. Really, I mean, those

961
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: two guys are pretty dominant. Guess who their head coaches now,

962
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, who is as good of a coach with

963
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: pass rushers as any of the league. Those two guys

964
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: are gonna kick ass and take names. Just Their defensive

965
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: unit is just good. I mean, Chris Harris a good player.

966
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: I expect him to be good on defense. Why because

967
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio's defenses are good. The question mark here is offense.

968
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: They have an offensive coordinator who was Kyle Shanahan's quarterback coach.

969
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: They got Joe Flacco. You know, Philip Lindsay last year

970
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,959
Speaker 1: was a Pro bowler as an undrafted free agent. Hurtis thumb.

971
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: How healthy is he gonna be? Emmanuel Sanders, the best

972
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver, was also injured. Their offensive line has kind

973
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: of been a question mark. You got Lord Elway, who's

974
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: always kind of you know, like Al Davis Jr. But

975
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't know on the team, but he has that

976
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: type of juice. He's always in the coach's box listening

977
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: to the plays, kind of intimidating. Fangio's a little old school,

978
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: not gonna be intimidated by him. He's also never been

979
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: a head coach. They're over under seven. Uh, clearly, I

980
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna sucked. They just got too much talent.

981
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're gonna compete to be a

982
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: playoff team. They're just not dynamic enough on offense. I

983
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: actually think seven feels like the right number. This feels

984
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: like a push. I just think there's seven and nine.

985
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: I think, close my eyes, think Denver Broncos seven and nine.

986
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: I think eight and eight or nine and seven would

987
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: be a major success. I just struggle seeing them score

988
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: enough points on offense. And I know Flacco's look great,

989
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: Flaccos look great, He's rejuvenated. Always says he's got football left. Yeah,

990
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna red flag that. I just I don't know.

991
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: Then the Raiders, who are the hard knocks team, Uh,

992
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: they have banned me from all activities, which is fine.

993
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: You know, we don't always see eye to eye. That's okay.

994
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: I'm a big boy. I can take it. Uh. They

995
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: upgraded it wide receiver. I mean they got the best

996
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the league, Antonio Brown. He is a stud.

997
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 1: They added Trent Brown to an offensive line last year

998
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: that really fell off a cliff because Donald Penn got

999
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: injured and they had to start this rookie third rounder

1000
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Parker, who's gonna get Derek killed. So they signed

1001
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: and Trent Brown. They did a smart move. They left

1002
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: him at right tackle because Colton Miller is a left

1003
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: tackle now. Is Colton Miller any good? I don't know.

1004
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: Colton Miller could also get Derek Carr killed if he

1005
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: doesn't get better. Tom Cable has a long, kind of

1006
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: recent history of not being good with offensive lineman. Their

1007
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: center is elite Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson's solid right guard,

1008
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: Richie and Cognito, who I can't believe they signed. But

1009
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: they got Al Davis. This guy's really Al Davis Jr.

1010
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: And John Gruden does not care about character. So Richie's

1011
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna get spend it for the first two games. I mean,

1012
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: he is suspended, but he's gonna come back. Say one

1013
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: thing for Richie. I'm pretty sure he's made like a

1014
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl five of the six last seasons that he's played.

1015
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: Now again he gets suspended. He's in and out, but

1016
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: when he plays, he's really good. He's also a little older,

1017
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: but that's a drafted first round running back to me.

1018
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: Defense is the major question mark their offense. Their defensive

1019
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: line is terrible. I don't think arden Key is very good.

1020
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: Their best pass rusher last year was robble Mohurst, who

1021
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: should just be a solid NFL player. They over drafted

1022
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: drafted Cleveland Farrell. Uh. Their pastors is not gonna be

1023
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: very good. Their linebackers are gonna be very good. Their

1024
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 1: dbs actually might be decent. Uh. They draft Jonathan Abraham

1025
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: in the first round. They signed LaMarcus Joyner from the

1026
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: l A. Rams who's a good slot nickel corner too.

1027
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: He can come down and cover the slot. Garyon Conley,

1028
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: who they drafted a couple of years ago, who fell

1029
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: to them after their playoffs season because that girl claimed

1030
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: that he raped her. Turned out it was all a lie.

1031
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: He's got a chance to be an elite player. They

1032
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: drafted another guy in the second round because they had

1033
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: so many picks from Clemson. They also have a couple

1034
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: of guys from last year that they like like. Their

1035
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: secondary actually not terrible, but if you have no pass rush,

1036
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: it's hard to be gun to defense. They don't have

1037
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: much speed a linebacker. I do think they're gonna be

1038
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot better on offense, just because they should be

1039
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: able to protect Derek. They have a first round running

1040
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: back Josh Jacobs, who's a good player. He can also

1041
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: catch the ball. Antonio Brown to go around Tyrolle Williams.

1042
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: It should just be a little more explosive on off fense.

1043
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: Their number six. To me, I like them six or seven.

1044
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: I would lean either push at six or maybe the

1045
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: over at seven. Last year was a disaster and they

1046
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: went four and twelve, so I would say they should

1047
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: be win two or three more games. It wouldn't shock

1048
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: me if they went seven and nine. Now the counter,

1049
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: because them and the Broncos basically have the same odds

1050
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: to win the division at twelve to one, I would

1051
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: not bet on either to win the division. The problem

1052
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: for the Raiders is their schedule is impossible. I think

1053
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: they go on a stretch it's forty five days where

1054
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: they don't have a home game because they're moving, they

1055
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: have to give him a home game every year. They're

1056
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: going to London. It's just a crazy stretch. I it's

1057
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: got to be unprecedented in NFL history. But you know

1058
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: the Raiders are used to weird ships, so maybe they

1059
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: overcome it. You know, it wouldn't I would be less

1060
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: shocked to see the Raiders win eight games, probably than

1061
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: the Broncos now that I think about it, though I

1062
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: would bet neither do. But I could definitely see the

1063
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: Raiders going over the number six and get into seven

1064
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: and seven. And nine, and I'd say that would be

1065
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: a pretty successful season for Jon Gruden and the Hard

1066
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: Knocks squad. So I I like the Chiefs and the

1067
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: Charges over. I like the Broncos as a push, and

1068
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders as an over. And to me,

1069
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: the value here is picking the Chargers to win the division. Uh,

1070
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: just because the odds, as the Chief's odds are terrible.

1071
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they were the heavy favorites to win the division,

1072
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: and I do think just on paper, Charges are pretty

1073
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 1: damn good. Okay, let's bang off a couple of quick

1074
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: middlecoff mail bag questions. Uh, we're already about fifty five

1075
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: minutes into this pod. Sole, just do a couple and

1076
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: if maybe I'll save something for later in the week,

1077
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: or maybe I'll just answer you directly in direct message.

1078
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about Jalen Hurts at Oklahoma and your thoughts

1079
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 1: about oh use new five star quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and

1080
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 1: brought Brock vander Griff. Well, I know my guy Drew Hill,

1081
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Brock, but he's he told

1082
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: me that Spencer Rattler is pretty damn sweet. Uh, And

1083
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: clearly Oklahoma has got a pretty good feel for quarterbacks.

1084
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard of Baker Mayfield and

1085
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: Cayler Murray. I know this about Jalen Hurts. They love him.

1086
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's a super high character, hard worker leader.

1087
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: Uh that they feel very very good about all that.

1088
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: Uh and listen, they're gonna be high on him. I

1089
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: just know I'm not the biggest fan as a quarterback now. Uh,

1090
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: I can't even think of his name. Lincoln Riley is

1091
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of the quarterback whisperer. Like you know, Alabama's gone

1092
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: to national championships with this guy as the starting quarterback. Now.

1093
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: A major difference is Alabama plays defense. In Oklahoma traditionally

1094
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: hasn't played that much defense. Now they hired a big

1095
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: time defensive coordinator. The guy a couple of years ago

1096
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: who was at Watchington State with Mike Leach helped them

1097
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: start kicking. Ask who went to Ohio State. So I

1098
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: think they should be a lot better. I'm I think,

1099
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: you know eleven and one, that type year text is

1100
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot better This year. TCU is not

1101
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 1: gonna suck as much. It's it's gonna be a little

1102
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: bit harder of a conference. Do you think people are

1103
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: out on the Ravens too quickly. In the a f

1104
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: C North, they had a great run game in the

1105
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: past two seasons, and even when teams know that it

1106
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: was coming, it was hard to stop. I agree that

1107
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: they they're as good of a running team as any

1108
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Running the ball is not gonna be

1109
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: their problem. They're gonna have two problems, in my opinion,

1110
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: One passing the ball, consistently passing the ball. And I'm

1111
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: not talking about hitting past plays. Lamar Jackson can hit

1112
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: past plays. I'm talking about must passing downs third and nine.

1113
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: Can you complete a ball when the entire stadium knows

1114
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: you're passing? You know, third and six? Can you complete

1115
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: a ball late in the game. I just I don't

1116
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,959
Speaker 1: think he's a good enough passer. And I just think defensively,

1117
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: while they're still gonna be good, they have a they

1118
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of have an ethos and a culture with the Ravens.

1119
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: They play defense, but they lost a lot of good

1120
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: defensive players this offseason. They're not gonna is good. So

1121
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: if they're not a top three or four defense and

1122
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: they can't really pass them all, it's it's hard to

1123
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: be good. Though. John Harback and coach, they still got

1124
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: good players. Uh, they should be competitive. Uh. Hey, man,

1125
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: just started listening to podcasts. Excited to listen. Football season

1126
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: actually comes me too. What do you think DAC has

1127
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: earned from his three years of play? I personally, having

1128
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: watched him play every game in his pro career, I've

1129
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: seen him overthrow Michael Gallup so many times and started

1130
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: to wonder if he's doing it on purpose. He's not

1131
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: a great D ball thrower, that's for sure. That has

1132
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: to realize the teams play more than it's has to

1133
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: realize it's the team play more than it is his right.

1134
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: You know, I thought that, But what I don't know

1135
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: if if you're listening. Dac made some comments the other

1136
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: day that he thinks he deserves to be the highest

1137
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: paid quarterbacks. The salary caps going up, Dac, I don't

1138
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: give a ship where the salary caps going. At no

1139
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: point in time, at any moment in your career, at

1140
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: this current state, should you be anywhere near the highest

1141
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: paid quarterback. Now, you have been underpaid quarterback these last

1142
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: several years. But a big reason for your team success

1143
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: is one the defense has been awesome, and too, You're

1144
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: running back is a freak show. So you're a good

1145
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: player and you've done a good job, and I like you, Dak,

1146
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: But I know Colin talks about this a lot, and

1147
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: he's dead right, Dak, if you're smart, you could play,

1148
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: like take five years. Hey, go Jerry, listen, sign me

1149
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: up for a deal five years, seventy guarantees average twenty

1150
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: a year. That gives you money to sign Zeke, sign

1151
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: a Mari signed Jalen Smith, and let's go compete for

1152
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 1: super Bowls. He's the next three or four years. Let's

1153
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: have one of the best teams in the league. Because

1154
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: what happens if you're the Dallas Cowboy quarterback. I just

1155
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: watched the Football life on Tony Romo. I think Tony

1156
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: Romo has two career playoff victories, he got a football life.

1157
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: Do you think of a guy from the Jacksonville Jaguars

1158
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: with two career playoff victories would have a football life

1159
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals two career playoff victories getting a

1160
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: FOOTBA life. Dallas Cowboys, you got a football life, like

1161
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: it's it's a game changer. So I think Dak, like

1162
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: I hate telling people to take less, but you make

1163
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: so much money as Dallas cowboy quarterback off the field,

1164
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: even if you're not that good, and he's already his

1165
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: team's already good, so he would make a time is

1166
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: a long one. Diehard Falcons fan living in the Bay Area?

1167
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: What up? Brother Julio Jones says, Arthur Blank's word was

1168
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: given last year that he will get a new contract

1169
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: before the season. With that quote unquote agreement in place,

1170
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: what is the hold up on a new deal? Didn't

1171
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: he get kind of a pay bump last year? You

1172
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: would think the team would already have an idea of

1173
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: what Julio wants and then if the owner wants that

1174
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: deal done. It also doesn't sound like the front office

1175
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: has that much leverage. It's great that Julio is going

1176
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: to show up to training camp, but if the process

1177
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: because continues to draw out with the team ultimately decided

1178
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: to trade him if he doesn't get his new contracts soon,

1179
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: I fear he could pull a Levy on if he

1180
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: doesn't trust the organization to take care of him long term.

1181
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: As a fan, losing Julio would be right up there

1182
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: with the Falcons blunders with Vicks Dogs in three God,

1183
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,959
Speaker 1: you guys have had some blunders. I would say that.

1184
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't Julio trusted Landa Falcons at every turn? They've

1185
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: done everything possible to one win and to take care

1186
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: of him. So I think Julio should trust Arthur Blank,

1187
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, pretty strongly, just like Dak Dak. Obviously Jerry

1188
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: loves you. He got rid of Romo for you too. Obviously,

1189
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Jerry is doing everything possible to win, like some of

1190
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: these players, and I think that's like the Lebron of sports.

1191
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: They try to like hate ownership and hate management like

1192
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: I got news for you. You know what Jerry wants

1193
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: to win do is win? You know what management wants

1194
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: to do is win. They're trying to win, like if

1195
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: you work together with them, as Steph Curry and how

1196
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: his relationship is with Bob Meyers and A Thompson like

1197
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: it's great, we trust him, he trusts us. We work

1198
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: together and we try to win chips. Obviously basketball a

1199
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: little different than football. But I think when you get

1200
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: a guy like Arthur Blank, who are Jerry Jones? Like

1201
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: once they've proven to you like listen, I'm not lying

1202
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: to you. I I got your back. Now. What I

1203
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: trust Belichick? No? Would I trust Howie? Probably not? But

1204
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, like, he's not gonna screw you if he

1205
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have to. If anything, he likes players too much

1206
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: over the years, would Marcus Mariotta be better off without

1207
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the Titans and their coaching carousel. I just see that

1208
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel said that he cut off his penis to

1209
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl and they asked him, or you've

1210
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: already won three. But he's like, well, I've been married

1211
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: for twenty years, so she's not actually even use it anyway.

1212
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: She'd probably cut it off for me. I like Mike Vrabel,

1213
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who their offensive coordinator is. I

1214
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: think it's a guy that they just elevated after the

1215
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: floor left. You know, I can't totally blame the coaching

1216
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 1: staff from Mariotta. Marriotta just hadn't stay healthy. So I

1217
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: would say no, the Titans. They have actually put Mariota.

1218
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: They were in the playoffs a couple of years ago,

1219
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: then last year they were one game away and Mariota

1220
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I got hurt. I would say it's more in Mariota

1221
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: than Titans. My buddy and I run a podcast as well,

1222
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: called Second Stringers, and on our last couple of episodes,

1223
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: we ranked these five quarterbacks, Watson, Robinsky, Prescott, Wins, and

1224
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: Golf in terms of who we want running our franchise

1225
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: for the rest of their careers. Curious to hear how

1226
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: you'd rank them. Thanks, big fan, got Saints and Finns. Okay, Watson, Robinsky, Prescott, Wentz, Golf.

1227
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: If I'm going on just who I like, I would go.

1228
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of tough, this is really hard. I'd probably

1229
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: go this is risky, but i'd I'd take Wentz first. Again,

1230
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: huge risk. I'd probably go Watson, GoF, Prescott, Drabinsky. As

1231
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: we sit here seven fifteen two thou nine team, and

1232
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: let me just tell you, I like Dac and Mr Bisky.

1233
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: This is a pretty I like this group. I would

1234
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: go Whence, Watson, Goff, Prescott, Trabisky. That would be my order.

1235
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it, but that would be

1236
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: my order. It's just my biased opinion. Or Seattle Seas

1237
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: getting slept on a little bit. First in total rushing

1238
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: guards last season, top five quarterback, great coach, probably the

1239
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: best insiden linebacker in the game right now, and some

1240
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 1: young studs coming off a season with more experience. Yeah,

1241
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be good. I mean, they were

1242
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: a playoff team last year. Two years ago they missed,

1243
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: and they were still nine and seven. Like you said,

1244
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: they still got Russell Wilson, they got two good running backs,

1245
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: they drafted d k They still got Tyler Lockett. Uh Defensively,

1246
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: they did lose their second best defensive player in Frank Clark.

1247
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Still got Bobby Wagner. They have the Peak Carroll culture.

1248
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I've been saying over and over, I think nine and

1249
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: seven might win the NFC West. And I think, you know,

1250
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,959
Speaker 1: if Jimmy stays healthy, probably be a three team race.

1251
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: You know now that Todd Gurley is not the same.

1252
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: I think if you go ten and six in the

1253
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: NFC West, you win the division for sure. I don't

1254
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: think Seattle is necessarily being slept on because they've made

1255
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs six the last seven years. I think if

1256
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: you ask most people in the NFL, they just tell

1257
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: you see, I was pretty damn good. What are your

1258
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on summer league for the NFL? Similar to the NBA,

1259
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: the league could be seven on seven passing league that

1260
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: these skill guys grew up competing in this wild get

1261
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: younger guys reps and young coaches reps as well. What

1262
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Well, I think that that's what O

1263
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: T S is. I know a lot of you guys

1264
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: listening don't get the chance to go to O T

1265
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: A practice because you need a media credential. But I

1266
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: got news for You're not missing much. But it's just

1267
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: live reps. That's what to me, that's what the off

1268
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: season is. If you went to offseason, like summer League

1269
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: is basically just O T A S. For the NFL.

1270
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. But in basketball, Like the difference

1271
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: in basketball football is if you get ten guys, you

1272
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 1: can just go to the park and play a legitimate

1273
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: basket ball game. You can't just really play a pickup

1274
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: football game, and it'd be hard. I see, I guess

1275
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. Like seven on seven leagues

1276
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: would just teams maybe play like a neutral site. You know,

1277
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if the league would want to show

1278
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: the routes, you know, versus other players, like in the NBA.

1279
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, if Zion's playing against Jaren Jackson Jr. That's

1280
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 1: playing against Arichamura. You're not gaining that much off summer

1281
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: league in terms of scouting reports. But if I roll

1282
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: out like my legitimately starting lineup. You know, if I'm

1283
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: who at team. You know, if I'm the Cowboys and

1284
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: I will up Michael Gallup and a Marii Cooper and

1285
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm playing you know, the Giants, like I might be

1286
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 1: able to pick up some things on a mari or

1287
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: vice versa. So I don't think the NFL, like in basketball,

1288
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: that type stuff is not as important. Like you can

1289
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: either I'm either gonna go for thirty on yet You're

1290
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: scouting report, especially during the regular season, doesn't make that

1291
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: big of a deal. In the NFL, games really matter.

1292
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: So I like where you're going there, but I don't

1293
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: think that's realistic. Do you think San Francisco has the

1294
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: best dirt tring running back in the NFL and Matt Breda?

1295
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: Is there any shot he or McKinnon gets moved before

1296
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 1: the season to address the areas of needs other areas

1297
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: who needs on the roster? If all three stay healthy,

1298
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: how do you think the pro game touches would break down? Well,

1299
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 1: I think they would just use those three running backs

1300
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: because they only have two receivers that I really like,

1301
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: that's Debo and Pettis. They have a tight end who's

1302
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: sweet and Kittle, and then they don't really have anyone else.

1303
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna need Jerick McKinnon, Telvin Coleman, and Matt Breda

1304
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: to play a lot. I mean, they're gonna throw that

1305
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: guy the ball a lot. And hell, I think that

1306
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: you could put You definitely could put McKinnon and even

1307
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Coleman has been a very productive pass catcher. You put

1308
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: them in the slot. So I I think they're gonna

1309
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: need all three of those guys because when you're at

1310
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: practice like Marky's Goodwin, I don't trust as far as

1311
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 1: you can throw him. I know we won the forty

1312
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: dash contests, but again just because you run fast, like

1313
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: can you play? And he consistently it's injured. So I

1314
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: would say that all three of those guys are kept.

1315
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: If I haven't answered your question, I'll either answer it

1316
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: on d M this week or I'll just answer it

1317
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: on Friday's podcast. Appreciate you listening football right around the corner.

1318
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: It's late. I've been burning the midnight and it's about

1319
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit and get myself some sleep. Enjoy the week.

1320
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Football is back. Peace
