7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: going on? My people? John Middlecoff three Now podcast? How

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: are we doing Tuesday afternoon? Recording a little show about football.

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: Have some thoughts and some realizations on where I got

10
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: it wrong with the Miami Dolphins. I think the Rams

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: potentially would fall under this category. I would say the

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Steelers as well, on the opposite end of the spectrum,

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: and we will discuss that and why it shouldn't be

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: as complicated as it is when us prognosticators and talking heads.

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I just I'm a podcaster. As podcasters make

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: some preseason thoughts and predictions and then we're proven wrong

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Some thoughts on the quarterbacks quarterback issues. We

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys making a lot of money

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: that are clearly not living up to the hype, so

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: we will dive into that as well as some draft thoughts.

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: This has a chance you know Caleb Williams, Drake May,

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Michael Pennox at Washington. There's some other guys throwing their

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: hat in the ring to be first round picks, and

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: this week is gonna be all eyes on them. So

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: we will dive into that a little early September NFL

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: draft talk because some of your teams stink and are

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna be drafting quarterbacks. I so might as well start

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: talking about them now. Middlecoff Mailbag at John Middlecoff is

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: the Instagram firing those dms. We did one yesterday. I

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: did one today just because I got a lot of

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: dms and might as well interact with the people because

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: without you guys, we don't have a podcast. And the

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: game plan will be Yesterday's podcast, Today's podcast. We'll do

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: one on Thursday and I will do another one on Friday.

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,760

00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: than I have in recent memory. I've gone to baseball games,

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: I've gone to basketball games. I've gone to multiple football

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: games and several concerts because of my friends. At Game Time,

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Gringai you have in America. One mistake I made coming

59
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: into this season is something that I live by. The

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL obviously outweigh coaching in other sports. Right,

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: I could win big with Steph Curry Lebron. Doesn't mean

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win the championship every year. But I'm not

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a terrible coach if I have one of

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: those guys. Right. We saw Lebron have excellent teams with

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: David Blatt. Right, we saw Steph Curry win with Mark Jackson. Right.

66
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: You can win a lot of games in baseball or

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: basketball if you got star players. Doesn't guarantee you're gonna win,

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: but for the most part, it's gonna work. In football,

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: scheming and x's and o's is such a prevalent part

70
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: of every single play, let alone, every single game, let alone,

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: every single season. It is a constant chess match between

72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the coordinators. And in twenty twenty three, we just happen

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: to have a lot of head coaches who operate as

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: their team's coordinator, mainly on offense, but we have a

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: couple on defense Brandon Staley not going well, who directly

76
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: impact the game, you know, half the snaps of the

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: sixty minutes every single weekend. So this year, I love

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, and looking back, I shake

79
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: my head. Everyone knew their offensive coordinator was terrible. I'm

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: not even the biggest fan of their quarterback, but I

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: like trusted the brand. I'm like the Pittsburgh Steelers. They'll

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: figure it out now. They had a lot of early injuries,

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: but I don't care that they could. You know, Jerome

84
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Bettis could walk through that door. Keith Miller could walk

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: through that door. If Matt Cannada's calling the plays. We

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: got issues. We got issues. Yet a team like I

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: wasn't that high on and mainly it was a pivot.

88
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I like to short the masks. I was like,

89
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't see it with Miami. How do I not

90
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: see it with Miami. I followed Mike McDaniel's career since

91
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: he showed up in San Francisco in seventeen. I've gotten

92
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: no players on that team let alone. I just know

93
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: people that were in that building that swear by the

94
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: guy as an offensive mind. Kyle Shanahan has publicly stated

95
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: how important the guy was to his career, helping to

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: influence the run game a couple of years ago, scheming

97
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Debo as a running back. His offensive prowess was well established.

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: As an assistant coach, let alone, how special he's been

99
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: getting Tyreek and Waddle through last year and then early

100
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: on in this season, and then he adds Vic Fangio,

101
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: who I freaky love Vicfangio. He's easily a top five

102
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. If you give him the right players, he'll

103
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: probably have the number one defense in the league. So

104
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: a sport that is predicated on having a good coach

105
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: and good coordinators, and Mike calls the offense, he's the

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: head coach, and obviously Vic calls the defense. I was like,

107
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, what was I thinking? How could

108
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: I like the Steelers coming into this season more than

109
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. And let's face it, I was biased

110
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: just based on my life because the majority of my life,

111
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers have been good and the Dolphins for the

112
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: most part, have not, which is stupid because I would

113
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: definitely take McDaniel and Fangio right now over Tomlin and

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Matt Canada. And it's coming to fruition. And as I

115
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: said on Monday night, the Steelers are, you know, at best,

116
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna win like nine games, and more likely there'll be

117
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: seven or you know, seven or eight wins given all

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: the injuries that are happening, and clearly their coordinator and

119
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: Miami shows you that if you have a dominant offensive

120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: coordinator and they do Mike McDaniel is not given speeches

121
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: in the locker room like he's Bear Bryan or Nick

122
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Saban or Beau Schambeckler. That's not his deal. But do

123
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: you know what he is doing every single week drawing

124
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: up all the freaking plays that get these guys wide open?

125
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Who took a quarterback that most of us had red flagged.

126
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, I don't see it small,

127
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: not the greatest arm well what it too? Would do well?

128
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: At Alabama when he was surrounded by one could argue

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: the greatest group of talented four wide receivers we've ever seen.

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: All four guys went in the top fifteen, hit a

131
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: lot of big plays, threw a lot of bombs. What

132
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: do they do now? Run a lot of go routes. Obviously,

133
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: his ability to move guys around, get guys in motion,

134
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: and just the team speed with Wattle and Tyreek Kill

135
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: is pretty special. But they have a guy who knows

136
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: how to scheme an offense and it's prevalent every single

137
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: week they play. So when I look at the Miami

138
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins coach right now, they're two guys scheme wise are

139
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: top notch. Their skill positions. I mean the two wide

140
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: receivers are elite, and their quarterback is still to be determined.

141
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Though he started extremely well, has proven when he has

142
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: been healthy he is very very good. Going back to

143
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Alabama with talented wide receivers like he knows how to

144
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: get them the ball. Now, sometimes his arm strength can

145
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: leave a little something to be desired, but let's face it,

146
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't play in Buffalo, he doesn't play in Kansas City.

147
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: And I was looking at their schedule because I had

148
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: to google it because a long standing kind of topic

149
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: with Southern football teams, but specifically the Miami Dolphins, because

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: of the teams they play their division is they don't

151
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: win a lot of games in cold weather situations. And

152
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: I think they're like eight or nine straight losses in

153
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: under forty degrees temperature. Well, they have the opportunity if

154
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: you get the number one seed, you don't ever have

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: to play in cold weather. And then I looked at

156
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: their schedule, where usually because of the division, might get

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: a late game in Buffalo, might get a late game

158
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: in New England. That's not the case. Obviously, they just

159
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: played in New England, right, they get the Jets late

160
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: November eleven, twenty four which you know could be pretty cold,

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: but Aaron Rodgers know where to be found. They get

162
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: at Washington the following week twelve three, that could be

163
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: really cold, tough defense that could be a tough spot,

164
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: and then a game that's got a chance. Who knows.

165
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's determining the number one seed, maybe it's determining

166
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: the two seats. But it's gonna be a cold weather

167
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: situation for the Dolphins twelve thirty one at Baltimore. But

168
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: they don't have as many cold weather games in November

169
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: and December as I would have assumed before I clicked

170
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: on their schedule today. So defensive coordinator a plus young

171
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I mean, I don't know how you wouldn't

172
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: give him an a right now. The Skins, Hey quarterback,

173
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: listen when he's been healthy. The one thing Dolphins fans

174
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: would always push back is look at his numbers, and

175
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: you get to a while like, this is a production

176
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: based business, so not everyone's gonna look pretty. Not everyone's

177
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna look like Farvard Mahomes. Some guys like Tua don't

178
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: look like that. But guess what when you're throwing for

179
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: three fifty four hundred yards every single week, getting the

180
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: ball to your playmakers. That's really all that matters. It's

181
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: it's the long standing argument, and I think Tua's better

182
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: than Jimmy Garoppolo. But like, if you surround a solid

183
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: player with really good players and they know how to

184
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: use them, that's the point is football to win the games,

185
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: and they're doing it in a very sexy way because

186
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: of their team speed. So I underestimated Miami and I

187
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: clearly overestimated the Steelers, and I think it comes back

188
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,119
Speaker 1: to I didn't spend enough time coaching, coaching, coaching, coordinating, coordinating,

189
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: coordinating the Rams. Same thing. I told this to Colin

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: the other day. It's like, obviously, I'm not gonna bet

191
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: on four fifth round picks until I see them play well.

192
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm a couple of week. The pass rush of the

193
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Rams have the Puka Nakua, like, they got some really

194
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: good young players, But what do they have That's the

195
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: most important thing. Their head coach is a dominant offensive

196
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: play caller, and their quarterback is a forty million dollar

197
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: player when healthy, he's a worthy elite guy. He can

198
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: go to a Pro Bowl on any given year. So

199
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: they have a highly paid, highly talented quarterback with an

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: elite play caller. That's the sport, that's twenty twenty three.

201
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Saban admitted this several years ago. In college football, We're

202
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: not gonna win games thirteen to ten anymore. Those days

203
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: are over. We have to score points. Why he started

204
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: recruiting the Tuatangavai Lois, the Jerry Judis, the Jalen Waddles.

205
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: He wanted those players because he needed explosive players on offense.

206
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: Not that he didn't early on with Julio and Amari,

207
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: but he started loading up. Now this team doesn't quite

208
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: look like that, but his mindset shifted, and the NFL

209
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: mindset has clearly shifted. I still believe you can be

210
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: a good head coach as a defensive coach, but I'd

211
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: like it to be my defensive coordinator, right and I'd

212
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: like you to be a dominant scheme guy. And that

213
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee you're gonna have to win. Look at Vic Vangio,

214
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: who clearly has been one of the best dcs over

215
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: the last decade plus, gets a head coaching job. They

216
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: have no quarterback. Their offense is a joke. You're not

217
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: gonna win. It's really that simple. Brian Flores proven to

218
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: be a pretty good defensive coordinator, got the Miami job

219
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. He didn't like Tua and their offense sucked.

220
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: So the offense is so important. And that's the one

221
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: thing when you're a CEO head coach, you know, Tomlin

222
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: Harbaugh solid now, your success is so predicated on who

223
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: you hire, how good that guy is, and his impact

224
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. The Dolphins ever have to worry about

225
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: that because the guy they're paying to be their head

226
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: coach directly impacts the quarterback every single day of the

227
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: week and obviously every Sunday. Same with the Rams, same

228
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, same with the Chiefs. I mean,

229
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: same with all these good teams. So I wish I

230
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: could have a redo because I just I'm better than that.

231
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: And it's just it's too much of a coach league

232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: to ever, you know, not realize when you're making early

233
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: season picks or kind of prognosticate how something's going to

234
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: play out by not just going all in on the

235
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: on the top coaches who specifically call plays now and

236
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: thinking about quarterback issues, and you could be like, well

237
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: what about Denver. I think the problem with that is

238
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: and I think you saw what Deshaun Watson, like I

239
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: think Stefansi's pretty good. I do. Obviously Sean Payton has

240
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: a long resume. But I've been saying this forever. In

241
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: the NBA, there are like five to seven guys that

242
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: you feel really good about giving the max amount of money.

243
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: And in the NBA, the top contracts right after your

244
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: fourth year, after your eighth year whatever are slotted, whether

245
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and fifty million or three hundred million

246
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: or whatever the numbers are. Yet, like twenty to twenty

247
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: five guys get those contracts, and then the majority of

248
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: the NBA teams and all these fans like my team

249
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: has no chance to win. Well, of course not. You're

250
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: paying guys max money who aren't max players. Right, if

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: I got Lebron, or I got Curry, or I got

252
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Giannis or Jokic, they're worth every penny. They're worth the

253
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: max amount of money that I can pay them. But

254
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: if you have a guy who is not on their

255
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: tier and you're paying the same contract, I have a

256
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: huge advantage over you. These are salary cap leagues. And

257
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL now, the amount of quarterbacks making just

258
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: insane amount of money is really high, right, from Homes

259
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: to Allen Now to Burrow and Lamar to Jalen to

260
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: Herbert like it's growth Kyler obviously, to Sean Russell Wilson,

261
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to Dak and Kirk Cousins. When you pay

262
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: these guys even if the salary cap goes up, and

263
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: the GMS and the people around the team always loves saying, well,

264
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: if the salary CAP's gonna rise, it's not gonna be

265
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: as crazy of an impact. That is true, but it's

266
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: still a big impact on your salary cap. When you

267
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: pay a guy at minimum double what the next highest

268
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: paid guy on your team makes. Like if you have

269
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: a twenty million dollar guy on your team, and especially

270
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: if you have a rookie quarterback, that guy's gonna be

271
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: the highest paid guy in your team. So once you

272
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: start paying a quarterback twenty or forty five to fifty

273
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: million dollars, he's gonna more than double typically your highest

274
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: paid player, unless you have like a Nick Bosa, a

275
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, Like there was a small percentage of players

276
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: making that twenty five to thirty million dollars. So when

277
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: you watch the Browns struggle, like their only chance to

278
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: be good obviously, and they have a really good roster.

279
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Even though they lost Chubb and had a bunch of

280
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: injuries Without Chubb, I think they'll still be okay because

281
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: Ford will probably be a good player, Miles Garrett. They

282
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: have a ton of impact, Pro Bowl level guys. But

283
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: if Deshaun Watson is gonna play this season like this

284
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: fifteenth or sixteenth best quarterback in the NFL, they're gonna

285
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: have an up and down season because they're paying him

286
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: to play like the fourth best quarterback in the league. Right.

287
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: Same thing with the Denver Broncos. I've heard a lot

288
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: of this, like, it's not all Russ's fault. The defense sucks. Agreed,

289
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Their defense the other day was abysmal. It was embarrassing,

290
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: especially a team that had one of the better defense

291
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: this is in the league last year. But when you're

292
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: paying a quarterback that much money, you're expecting him to

293
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: be a Pro Bowl Now. The thing with Russell, now,

294
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: we have whatever last season in this season when he

295
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: starts their four and thirteen. So listen, you can tell

296
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: me quarterback wins and losses is not a stat that

297
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: should go on the quarterback. Yet, every time I look

298
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: at a good quarterback. Their win loss record is really good. Like,

299
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: say what you want about Josh Allen shitty first game

300
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: and it was really bad. What do you do bounce

301
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: back play? The Raiders looks like the best player in

302
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: the league, you know. And I just think, when you're

303
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: paying these guys this amount of money, it's no different

304
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: for the position players when you go all in and

305
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: you saw it last night on full display with TJ. Watt,

306
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and you've seen it for a couple of years with

307
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Minka Fitzpatrick. They give these guys premium dollars. They need

308
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: him to be premium players, and they constantly are. The

309
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns draft him number one, pay him a shitload

310
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: of money, and Miles Garrett is elite. You're like, you

311
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: don't even think about it, right, you do not even

312
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: think about it? And Tyreek Hill with the DeVante Adams,

313
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, every time you're stepping on the field, that

314
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: guy is gonna play like one of the best players

315
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: in the league. And if he's on, I don't care

316
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: who else you're on the field with, more than likely

317
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: he's going to be the best or second best player

318
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: on the entire field, including the other team. And I

319
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: think some of these quarterback issues right now you're seeing

320
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: is that Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson. You saw it last

321
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: year with Kyler. Once I give you, I have a

322
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: pet peeve. I hate the word bag because no one

323
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: that makes hundreds of millions of dollars gets paid in bags.

324
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: This isn't the mafia, this isn't sec recruiting. We're paid

325
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: in direct deposits and the money gets taxed. I'd love

326
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: to get paid in bags, but even if I did,

327
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: you can't buy anything with bags. You can't. You can't

328
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: show up to a car dealership with two hundred grand

329
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: in cash and say give me the car. Right, That's

330
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: not the way the world works. So that's always been

331
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: a pet peeve of mine. I get the kids love it,

332
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: and the media loves it too. Peyden, Do I think

333
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: we should rename it direct deposits? And once you start

334
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: giving these guys enormous direct deposits, you need them to

335
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: live up to the money. And some sports are different, right,

336
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: I understand In baseball it can be difficult because most

337
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: of the time you're signing a player, he's typically you know,

338
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: twenty nine, thirty thirty one, thirty two years old, there's

339
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: a decent chance as best years behind him. But if

340
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: you want that player of the going rates two hundred

341
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars and you don't have a choice.

342
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: It's why Bryce Harper a couple of years ago was

343
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: such a unique case because he was only like twenty

344
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: six twenty seven years old, right most of the time

345
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: when these guys hit Look at Aaron Judge was over thirty,

346
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: and in football you pay a guy relatively young the

347
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: DeShawn situation like I do defend Russell Wilson, or at

348
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: least the transaction that went down. I would have made

349
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: the move too, Howie Roseman attempted to make the move.

350
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: Most GMS, given a desperation spot for a quarterback would

351
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: have been very, very interested in Russell Wilson and then

352
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: extended him. The Dashaon thing was a little bit more

353
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: of a red flag everything he had going off the field,

354
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: of his lack of what felt like contrition to any

355
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: self inflicted decisions. Part of being a good quarterback is

356
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: decision making on and off the field. I can call

357
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Russell kind of corny. I never worry about him not

358
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: being all all in and making good decisions right in

359
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: terms of his health, his wellness, his family. Like, do

360
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: I trust Deshaun Watson when he leaves my building? You

361
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: would say not really, right, Kyler. While he's not a

362
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: trouble maker, his decision making in terms of being all

363
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: in with football have been more than questioned. The Cardinals

364
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: put that thing in his contract, which is basically unprecedented

365
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: for a guy getting an astronomical amount of money at

366
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: that position. The last thing you ever do is worry

367
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: about max quarterbacks in terms of their study habits, most

368
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: of them, right. I bet if we went through they

369
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: would say, guy's a great studier, right, Mahomes, I know

370
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs love his study habits. Alan Herbert, Lawrence, Jalen Hurts.

371
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, A big part of the Jalen Hurts contract,

372
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: because he was kind of a one year wonder, was

373
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: we're betting on the guy, right, you look at Deshaun Watson,

374
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: that's who you bet on. And I saw Colin talk

375
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: about it today that like the Cleveland Browns Man. That's

376
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: just it's a classic Cleveland Browns type movie. And the

377
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: only reason he's there is because they were the only

378
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: team willing to give him that contract, which David Tepper,

379
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: who his ownership is still more in question with how

380
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: good the Panthers are ever gonna be. He did make

381
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: the right decision where he said, no, we are not

382
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: giving you that contract now. Is Bryce Young ever gonna

383
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: be good? I don't know. They got a long way

384
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: to go. They need to get him a lot of help.

385
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if Frank's any good, but I would

386
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: not I never would have wanted any part of that situation.

387
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: But the thing is just it's aging worse by the

388
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: week and last, but not least it really I've watched

389
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of college football this year. I knew coming

390
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: into the season how talented these quarterbacks were. It's even

391
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: more than living up to the hype, right Caleb Is.

392
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the best prospects I've ever seen,

393
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: right right there with Luck, Trevor Lawrence, you know, Cam

394
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: just given his size. I mean, there's a short list

395
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: of just all time great prospects and he basically was

396
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: an established Number one pick come out into this season,

397
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: and he's doing nothing to slow that down. Drake May

398
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: is very, very highly viewed around the league. Michael Pennix

399
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: I think was viewed a little bit as a one

400
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: hit wonder, but also it was like last year was

401
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: really really impressive. He's doubling down on that, and one

402
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: knock on him was he's had some knee injuries. So

403
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I think right now, and I'm putting Shador in his

404
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: own category because I'm just gonna assume until he tells

405
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: me otherwise that he's gonna stay for two years with

406
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: his dad and with Travis Hunter. Because listen, I think

407
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance. And I'm not trying to you know,

408
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: pee on anyone's parade here, but you know, Dion might

409
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: be two and done there right when Shador, when Shiloh,

410
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: when Travis leave, then he just you know, goes to

411
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: greener pastures. And listen, I'm not acting like Boulder, Colorado.

412
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: That place isn't sweet, cool place to coach. But these

413
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: SEC schools, these people are gonna come calling with twelve

414
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: to fifteen million dollars. I'll promise you it's happening. So Shadoor,

415
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: I would put him in that class, but until I

416
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: hear from listen, he's said nothing one where the other.

417
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to assume that the loyalty

418
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: of kind of that group I do think there's some

419
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: other guys that have thrown their hat into the mix.

420
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: And a big part of this NFL season is like, well,

421
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: if you suck, there are all these other quarterbacks kind

422
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: of floating out there right beside Caleb Drake May and

423
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: now Pennix bow Knicks had an awesome season last year.

424
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: He looks every bit as good this year. And guess

425
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: who they play this week? Where I don't know if

426
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: you saw the headline, nine point three million people watched

427
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: Colorado Colorado State, making it ESPN's most watch game by

428
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: a wide margin. A lot of people are watching Colorado

429
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: and a big reason for that is Dean Sanders, Right,

430
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: So guess what's gonna happen when Oregon plays Colorado. A

431
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be watching. It's not just

432
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: US fans, this is where the gms are going. So

433
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: the amount of eyeballs that are just on Colorado, they're

434
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna be right there on bo Nicks. And he's got

435
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: a great opportun tunity to like he's playing Panics later

436
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: this season, like he can really establish himself as a

437
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: first round pick. I know people in the league last

438
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: year that thought if he would have come out that

439
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: he would have been a fringe, you know, top forty pick.

440
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: He's doing nothing to change that now. If anything, he's

441
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: just enhancing it. So listen, all eyes are always going

442
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: to be on shore door in Colorado. But whoever is

443
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: playing that team, it's like in two weeks, Caleb plays them, right,

444
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: then when you play Colorado, a lot of people are

445
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: paying attention. And the other guy that is just a

446
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: fascinating case study because he's older, is Sam Hartman, and

447
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: he would have been a guy that probably goes in

448
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: the fifth, sixth, seventh round if he would have came

449
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: out this year. You know a lot of guys in

450
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: his situation wake force, come out right, get drafted in

451
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: the late rounds, whatever, start your NFL career. He became

452
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: such a highly valued commodity in the transfer portal. Florida

453
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: was offering them millions Notre Dame. Who knows how much

454
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: they're paying him. And he's gone there and he's been

455
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: fucking awesome. And now they're playing in Ohio State. And

456
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: when I think Otore Dame, like when I was a kid,

457
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: they were Alabama, right, they were Ohio State or Michigan,

458
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: they were Georgia. They were winning a lot of big games.

459
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: When I think of a Notre Dame now, I feel

460
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: like they lose a lot of big games. Well, if

461
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: you finally get a legit quarterback who's an NFL guy

462
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: and you go and beat Ohio State, he clearly has

463
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: helped himself. Early on in this season, they haven't really

464
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: played anybody. Now it's about to get real. They're gonna

465
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: play They're gonna play USC and obviously Ohio State this week.

466
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: If you have one of those games, or I mean

467
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: two weeks against those two teams where you're in the

468
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: high sixties, throwing several touchdowns and playing winning football, I

469
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: think we start talking about him as definitely a top

470
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: fifty prospect. So we already have three guys who are

471
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: big time prospects, like Caleb Williams is, like Trevor Lawrence,

472
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: who that draft now looks really shitty, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance,

473
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: justin Fields, even Mac Jones doesn't look great. Well, a

474
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: lot of those guys didn't have much sample size in college.

475
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: That ain't the case with this group. All these guys

476
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: are gonna have long resumes, throwing a bunch of touch

477
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: and playing for a long time at a really high level.

478
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: And now all these guys bo Nick, Sam Hartman, Pennix,

479
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: Caleb Drake may probably not as much, but who knows

480
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: that they haven't lost yet are competing for playoff spots.

481
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be playing in these games that millions

482
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: of people are watching. All these gms are going to attend.

483
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: I was texted with a buddy that works for ESPN

484
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: and he's out here because the Giants are staying and

485
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: he's staying with the Giants, and we were talking about

486
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: in the offseason. I'm like, get, you know, Joe Shane

487
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: will go play some golf when you guys come in

488
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: and I text him like, hey, we're gonna I couldn't

489
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: make it there. He's playing golf right now. But he's

490
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: like Shane went up to up now he's you know,

491
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Washington has like an elite pass rusher. So you don't

492
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: just go to the school the only scout quarterbacks, And

493
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: people often ask like do you get when you're a

494
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: college scout, you just scout positions. You scout everybody. So

495
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: if I go into USC, I'm scouting all their pro prospects.

496
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: So when you go to these games, the other you

497
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: know kind of old adage that is still a you know,

498
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: a very very emphasized thing in every scouting department. If

499
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna put grades on draftable quarterbacks, you have to

500
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: see them play in person. So the amount of scouts

501
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: that are watching all these guys play in person is

502
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: probably just higher than normal, given there are so many

503
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: guys across the country that you got to get your

504
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: scouts to all these different games. And luckily, because a

505
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: lot of them are playing each other, you can bang

506
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: it off. Like when Notre Dame plays USC, I would

507
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: imagine every team's gonna be represented this week, Ohio State,

508
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. I would imagine every team's gonna be represented Colorado.

509
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: Like I know this, if I was a GM, I

510
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: would have to have a scout of those two games.

511
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: We have to have representation at Colorado Oregon and Notre

512
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Dame Ohio State. We cannot have someone not at that game.

513
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: I remember Veetz told me years ago, it's like mandatory

514
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: that someone goes to the SEC championship game. Just too

515
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: many NFL players. And that's what a lot of these

516
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: games feel like. Even with the quarterbacks. And I don't

517
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: care if Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, that's the team

518
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: you work for. You still got a scout these guys

519
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: because in a couple of years, look at Trey Lance.

520
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: A couple years later, he's available. Zach Wilson might be

521
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: on a different team next year, right justin Fields might

522
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: be on a different Things change fast in the NFL.

523
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: So you watch check the internet come this weekend. The

524
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: list of teams and scouts and executives at these games.

525
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fucking nuts. And oftentimes in big games

526
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: will be like, ah, ten teams are here. You know,

527
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: one of the media members for the college or the

528
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: sid for that given college will tweet it out and

529
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: the teams will I think some of these games are

530
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna have minimum twenty five teams. And like I said,

531
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's crazy talk to go. Every

532
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: team should be represented. You're probably not doing your job

533
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: if you're not going on the field scouting live. I

534
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: think you gotta be in attendance at these games. We're

535

Speaker 1: a little Middlecoff mailbag at John Middlecoff as the Instagram

549
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: fire in those dms start with Joey John big fan

550
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: of the show. It has become my daily listeners, kind

551
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: of like Joey, me and my friends had this conversation

552
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: after Mahomes re signed, what would happen if he just

553
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: retired after signing it. He didn't technically resign. They just

554
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: guaranteed all the money on his contract and I think

555
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: added a little. But remember he's signed a ten year deal,

556
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: so he was like gonna be a free agent. But

557
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. When a player retires with

558
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: a ton of money left on the deal, does the team,

559
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: for example, get some relief in not paying the signing bonus,

560
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: or do they have to pay him an entire contract

561
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: even though he's retired. I think usually the way it works,

562
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: to my understanding, and we have to get Howie or

563
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: Parague or one of the money guys on the show

564
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: here is when you pay the money upfront. The signing

565
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: bonus is how you allocate a lot of the dead

566
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: cap money, right, and the salary cap hits because you amortize.

567
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Let's just pick an even number. I give you one

568
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in guaranteed money, and you had a

569
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar contract well over the life of

570
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: the deal four or five, six years, however long it

571
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: is the forty nine ers, like do these sneaky fake years?

572
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: You spread that cash around. Well, if you retire after

573
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: a couple of years, I've paid you a large percentage

574
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: of the signing bonus and the guaranteed money. But if

575
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: that money was like a credit card, it's still due

576
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: on the books because you've avoided it, right, Like, I

577
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: don't know what Nick Bosa's cap hit this year is,

578
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: but it's not that big. He's another example, just because

579
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: I know the details a lot of the forty nine

580
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: er contracts. They signed Javon Hardgrave to four years eighty

581
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: million dollars. They gave him forty million dollars basically signing

582
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: bonus guaranteed money. His salary cap hit this year is six,

583
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: So they're kind of fudging the books. I mean everyone

584
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: does that, though. Those are the rules. So if you

585
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: were to retire after the season, you still signed them

586
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: to that contract, you would bear the brun of it,

587
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, in future years. I'm not exactly sure on

588
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: the rules he could. I technically you would have to

589
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: give back some money. Remember Andrew Luck. They let him

590
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: keep his signing bonus. He didn't have to pay it back.

591
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I would say this usually with large amounts of money

592
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: still owed, if you can physically still play, you continue

593
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: to play so you can keep your money, or you

594
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: make them cut you. I e. Matt Ryan, who technically

595
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: has to stay you know, active, even though he's clearly

596
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote retired because he doesn't want to

597
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: pay anything back killing the pod. Two questions if the

598
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: Bears or Cards get the number one pick and Caleb

599
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: refuses to go to them, what are the chances they

600
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: hire either being a Me or Kellen Moore to incise

601
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback to play with them. I think we're a

602
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: long way away from the situation playing out with Caleb

603
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: demanding to go somewhere. Uh, he's got big games coming up.

604
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people are gonna be watching them. Obviously

605
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the number one overall pick. But I

606
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: just mean that there's one thing to say something in

607
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: a magazine article, and it was his father. There's another

608
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: thing to execute it. It's been very few and far

609
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: between over my life. I wasn't born when Elway did it.

610
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: Most of you listening, we know we got a pretty

611
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: younger demo here probably weren't either, And if you were,

612
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: you probably were pretty young. Bigall, if you were born

613
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three, which would make you fifty years old,

614
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: you were ten when that happened. Obviously, some of us,

615
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, many of us remember the Eli situation. So yeah,

616
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how that's gonna play out.

617
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: The Cardinals situation, I think is gonna be pretty It's

618
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: going to be looked at toxically? Is that a word

619
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: toxically is going to be looked at very poorly by

620
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: agents and people. But the one thing you know that

621
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: this it's not usually treated like the NBA, where historically

622
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in basketball, their agents have done

623
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: power plays to avoid going to the Kings, avoid going

624
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: to the Magic. You know, it's very very rare. Now

625
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: could Caleb do that? Like? Where's he going to force himself?

626
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: We're all the good situations, all the good situations have quarterbacks, right,

627
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: It's like, I want to go? I keep saying this,

628
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: like where does he want to go? The Chiefs? You know,

629
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: what does he want to play for? I guess maybe

630
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: the Rams? But what if the Rams win nine games?

631
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: So I think it's basically impossible. You think about it

632
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: in basketball, I mean, it kind of happens, but you

633
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: still end up going to a shitty team. It's not

634
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: like the number one pick, the Anthony Davis is and

635
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: the you know whoever, Victor wemb Bin Yama's like, I

636
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: want to go to the Heat. It's like, yeah, guys,

637
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: they don't have any first round picks. Favorite bets. This weekend,

638
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm recording this part Tuesday, even before lunch. I haven't

639
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: really dove into the slate. Beside, I know there are

640
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: some massive spreads, and obviously we've got the game Thursday night,

641
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: which is also a massive spread. I was thinking Chiefs

642
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: minus twelve and a half Bears, Cowboys minus twelve over Cards.

643
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: Are Chiefs Bears, Cowboys over Cards? And then I like

644
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: the money line of the Jacks, Jaggs, Texans and maybe

645
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: the Rams winning over the Bengals. I would say this,

646
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: I get very very hesitant with enormous spreads. You know,

647
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: I like waiting a little bit longer to do the

648
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: basically two touchdown spreads when it is clear the team

649
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: stinks is done. Look at the Cardinals. We all universally

650
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals will tell you we stink. We're not gonna

651
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: be any good. You looked up on Sunday against a

652
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: playoff team. In theory, we'll see if the Giants end

653
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: up making the playoffs. They're up twenty to nothing and half.

654
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: I know they lost. They were up twenty to nothing

655
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: at half. They could have won the game the previous week,

656
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: so I would be hesitant with the Cards now. Buddha

657
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Baker's on injury reserve Joshua Dobbs. I would be more

658
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: likely to short the Bears with a big spread. But

659
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: even then, like a lot of these guys, to me,

660
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: your pride. Hell, it could be high school football, college football.

661
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Your team might suck, but early in the season, you're

662
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna try and you're bound. Like, let's face it, the

663
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs haven't exactly been some you know, ferrari early that

664
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: they don't exactly look like offensively four or five years ago.

665
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: Now their defense is unreal. So how is justin Field's

666
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna move it on that defense? It's gonna be difficult.

667
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: I would lean Chiefs over the Bears. I could see

668
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you know, not even really paying attention to

669
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: the Bears and just have a clunker where they're just

670
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, on somewhat cruise control. But maybe it's early

671
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: in the season too, so maybe they just destroy him.

672
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant with huge spreads. Don'tate Jags over Texans. I mean,

673
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: if Joe Burrow's out. I do not like the Bengals

674
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: against anybody. The Raiders defense is again garbage is the

675
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Graham an idiot? How much soft zone can

676
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: you play? No imagination whatsoever. No schemes to get Crosby

677
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: and company any success other than one goal line stand

678
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: the offense do them any favor, didn't do them any favors.

679
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: Now we got the Steelers on Sunday night. Unless Jacob

680
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: starts to hit holes and get some yards, I'm pretty

681
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: sure we will be one and two come Sunday night.

682
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Just another frustrating year. Yes, just the same shit over

683
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: and over. And to me, the craziest thing, I will

684
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: reiterate this. I said this the other day. They get

685
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: their ass kicked and they lose more than any team

686
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: that never drafts like second overall. I mean, even when

687
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: they're crappy, they end up drafting like ninth and most

688
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: of the time they're in like the teams. Yet it

689
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: feels like they get worked. Now, this is a game

690
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: that I would imagine they have so because last year

691
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: that was a devastating loss. That game, what was it,

692
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve ended Derek Carr's you know, ten year with

693
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders. But a lot of the guys that were

694
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: on that team, Davonte, Max Jacobs, Colton Miller, a lot

695
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: of the dbs. Listen, let's face it, the Steelers, I

696
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't exactly call you know this the Steel Curtain of

697
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: the late seventies. They do not look great. Please make

698
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: it make sense. It seems like every sports pundit has

699
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: forgot the last twenty plus years. I understand the Dallas

700
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: curly has the best defense, but please stop with Dak

701
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: the guy who's maybe a hair better than Kirk Cousins

702
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to believe can beat Pat Mahomes in the

703
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Please. On top of that, as an Eagles fan,

704
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: I cannot stand how the only conversation is the Super

705
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: Bowl hangover and they've taken a step back, and I

706
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: get it, but to not bring up the gorilla sitting

707
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: on Dallas's back is total malpractice. These dudes haven't sniffed

708
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: an NFC chair championship since before I was born. Nineteen

709
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: ninety six, objectively an excellent year. Love the pun I

710
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: think it's fair. I think, listen, they could have beat

711
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers last year, of all the times.

712
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: And I don't remember every Dallas Cowboy game in the

713
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: last twenty five years, but I've watched every snap of

714
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: the last two in which they've lost, and I've been

715
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: really dialed in on that game because they're playing the

716
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Two years ago, I thought the Niners

717
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: showed up in Dallas and shoved him around. The game

718
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: ended up being close, but Jimmy had one of the

719
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: dumbest picks you'll ever see. The Niners showed up and

720
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: shoved him around. Cowboys weren't as tough. That was not

721
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: the case last year. The Cowboys showed up and were

722
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: every bit as tough as the forty nine ers. It

723
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: was a little mid ninety style. And it's one point

724
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: of difference that the forty nine ers have had in

725
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: a lot of playoff victories in Harbaugh and the Kyle

726
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: Shanahan eras, they've been tougher than a lot of opponents.

727
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: The Packers, they always shoved them around, and last year

728
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: the Cowboys like, you're not shoving us around them. So

729
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: you're right. He is a major wild card. But if

730
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: he could ever just have a game where I don't know,

731
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't throw picks, he does not have to be

732
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes I agree. If they played the Chiefs, I

733
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: would pick the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. But he

734
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: definitely they're gonna be comfortable playing the Eagles see him

735
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: twice a year and now they will have played the

736
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, right, they play him here in a

737
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you know they'll I'm sure they'll probably

738
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: play them again in the playoffs. They've played him back

739
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: to back years in the playoffs, like they've played them

740
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: a lot. So they're of all the teams, the Niners

741
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: are gonna intimidate and just out talent. The Cowboys just

742
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: won't be one. And let's face it, like the one

743
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: thing you guys have. If Jalen's playing well, Jalen's better

744
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: than Dak. You know, I like brock Purty. I'm a

745
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: bullsh on brock Perty's career, but you know, Dak's done more.

746
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: It's like, so I don't think it's out of the

747
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: realm possibility. I do think it's fair to say through

748
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: two weeks, and based on last year, this defense is

749
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: championship worthy and their offense just has to be solid

750
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: now that's been there down for down fall Dak last

751
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: year through two interceptions devastating picks cost him the game.

752
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: Hey man, how are you good? My broncos? A couple

753
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: of questions, one regarding Collins rant about Russ. Is there

754
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: any way Denver could get rid of him in a way,

755
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: they get less fucked. Besides a trade. I don't think

756
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: a team will want a trade for him with the

757
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: awful contract. And my second one, man, I said, just

758
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of guys vance Joseph hiring was a

759
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: big mistake in Denver, I would get rid of him, Mason.

760
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: Would you What I don't understand and I think I

761
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: saw I always screw up his name A Viguerrero. The

762
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator last year for Denver is Nathaniel Hackett. He's

763
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: a UC Davis guy, like Nathaniel Hackett. I think they

764
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: were best friends since college, so I think he felt

765
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable with staying there. I don't even know if

766
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: it was you know, if you're a Denver Bronco fan,

767
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure I read an article about this six eight

768
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: months ago, but I'm pretty sure he just kind of

769
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: chose the left. And now he's Carolina's defensive coordinator, and

770
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: I think Carolina's defense looks for good. That guy's good.

771
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: That guy feels he didn't play in the league like Demiko,

772
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: but I've watched his defense for two years. He's kind

773
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: of got a Dimiko vibe. That that fucking guy's good

774
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: and listen, as my dad would tell you, UC davis

775
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: guys are smart that they are intellectually, you know, highly educated.

776
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: He always made fun of me because I just went

777
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: to a little old skate school in San Luis Obismo.

778
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: But I like that guy a lot. I think he's

779
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: got a chance, definitely in the near future, to to

780
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: be a head coach. Denver's defense was legit last year.

781
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean they were really really good and Vance Joseph

782
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: to me, he's just one of those guys that feels

783
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: like everybody's friend. Everyone likes him, they'll share an agent.

784
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: I just never understand that in the NFL, like I

785
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: understand working with guys that you liked it are also

786
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: good coaches. But I don't know, I've never really seen

787
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: it feels like everyone really likes the guy. And I

788
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: guess that matters in life, right that you want to

789
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: like your friends. But we're trying to win football games

790
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: right now, and it's pretty embarrassing. The other day, there's

791
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: no way around it because their players are not that bad. Now.

792
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw some of the viral clips of

793
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan saying wolf I was the defensive coordinator because

794
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: remember he wanted the job, and I don't think Sean

795
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: Payton off from the job. It's like, Rex, you were

796
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: awesome ten years ago, fifteen, twenty years ago, it's twenty

797
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty three. Are you still good? I don't know. I've

798
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: been listening to these shows since it started with Colin.

799
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: I went to the Cards game versus the Giants on Sunday.

800
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: What a roller coaster for the first time I saw

801
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: DJ play fast. What do you think it will take

802
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: for him to keep playing fast? Well? I think through

803
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: through the first six quarters it was egg on their

804
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: face doesn't even feel strong enough. It was an utter

805
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: disaster for day Ball and Joe Shane like that quarterback play.

806
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: To look that overwhelmed, it was to say it was

807
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: a problem feels like the understatement of the day. And

808
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: clearly they unleashed the rookie speedster from Tennessee in the

809
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: second half. He hit him on a couple of big plays.

810
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: I think he had the rushing touchdown on the bootleg

811
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. He's a really good athlete. I thought that

812
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: he had a chance to take a big step right,

813
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: to go from fifteen touchdowns to like twenty four touchdowns,

814
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: twenty eight touchdowns and be a really good player. It

815
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: was hard to think that through six quarters, So you know,

816
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: can he build on any of that momentum against the

817
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. It's very difficult. What a tough spot

818
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: for any quarterback, short week on the road in their

819
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: home opener against a top two three defense in the

820
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: league who has a really good defensive line when your

821
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: offensive line early on has been question mark. But I'm

822
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: not gonna judge him as much this week. I think

823
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: the Seattle game in ten days will be a big

824
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: moment for him, and I think if you're gonna make

825
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you're gonna need him to play second half

826
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: version for a lot more than he did last year.

827
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: Obviously as well. What are the rules among teams, coaches,

828
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: and players when it comes to intellectual property i e.

829
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: The playbook and game plans? When someone's which is teams?

830
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: The reason I ask this is watching the Eagles in

831
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: their offense. It's obvious they don't look as potent as

832
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: they did. Inner psychic, I would think the Eagles would

833
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: still have the playbook from last year and that it's

834
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: become a matter of play gong just curious. Well, yeah,

835
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's their playbook. So when Shane Stiken, the

836
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: entire offense he ran was the Eagles, right, I mean

837
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles owned that playbook, own the plays. Now Shane

838
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: Stiken can take those plays with them. It's not the

839
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: equivalent of a lot of our industries where if i'll

840
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: use this example in radio, right, I didn't any of

841
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: the radio shows. Even though I had my own radio show,

842
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: I didn't own it. So when I left the company,

843
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: I couldn't take that, you know, those properties with me,

844
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: Shane Stiken. They're gonna let him take his his actual

845
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: tangible playbook, you know, probably the team iPad and stuff

846
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: he leaves there. But if you cut a guy on

847
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: Monday and the team you're playing signs him on Tuesday,

848
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: you are not gonna let him take, you know, if

849
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: you've handed him the game plan or whatever, which you

850
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't on Monday. But let's just hypothetically say you take

851
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: that away from like I've been the turk. When you

852
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: cut the guy, you get the team's property back. Doesn't

853
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: mean he can't remember it and tell the other team, right,

854
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: So there's a fine line. The other thing is like

855
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: everyone uses the same place, so what is it really

856
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: the thing I've always wondered, is when you fire like

857
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: a front office exec in let's say early January. Well,

858
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: he has the team and a lot of the other

859
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: executives that he's working with, especially if it's a GMS,

860
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: their draft board, so he knows the player that team likes.

861
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: So if he goes on to work with another team

862
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: or consult for another team, he has inside information, right

863
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: and he's gonna print that out and take it with him. Now,

864
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: if he doesn't see the firing coming, I guess you

865
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: could lock him out of all of this stuff. So yeah,

866
00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: it's it's not quite like most of our industries if

867
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: you were in tech, if you work in you know,

868
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly every industry standard. Uh, but it's

869
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: it's a little different. There is a lot of it

870
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: is what it is kind of I think in football

871
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: because a lot of the information's public, not the draft boards.

872
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: But my Orioles and Ravens both had big Sundays. I'm

873
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: making the rounds. Anyways, Lamar looked like Pete Lamar in

874
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: Sincy this week. Was good to see. I have hope,

875
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: just got to protect, protect, protect the quarterback. It's a

876
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: good example, man, when when that guy's on watch out

877
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: because he is as dynamic of a player he's basically

878
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: and I loved Michael Vick was my first year when

879
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: he had that, you know, kind of almost MVP season

880
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. Lamar is just a better player. He's

881
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: a more accurate thrower. He doesn't have the same strength

882
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: vic had as a thrower down the field, but he's

883
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: definitely more accurate and he plays safer. The one problem

884
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: with Mike is he couldn't slide, so he just took

885
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: these He took these hillacious shots. He would get hit

886
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: where you're like, did he just break every bone in

887
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: his abdomen region, his ribs, his pelvis, Like is everything broken?

888
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: And he get up. I mean, he was as tough

889
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: as anyone you'll see, but you just can only take

890
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: those hits so many times. And Lamar does a good

891
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: job of just kind of plopping on the ground when

892
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: he's running. I'd say Lamar and Jalen are too him.

893
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: I sometimes with the runners in college that aren't great

894
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: throwers for whatever reason, maybe college coaching. I mean, Jalen

895
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: had excellent college coaches. I think Lamar played for Petrino,

896
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: but I don't know if these guys became it felt

897
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: like more accurate in college. They'd become better throwers in

898
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: the pros, which is wild, but then a lot of

899
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: guys don't, so it's what makes drafting so hard. Hey, John,

900
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: love the pod. What happened to Rodgers was very unfortunate.

901
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: Wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I believe the

902
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: team was gonna be the most competitive they've been since ten.

903
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: I still had them falling short because of the old line,

904
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: how stacked it is. Is it possible we will look

905
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: back on the injury and view it as the greatest

906
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: what if in the history of the league. Earlier in

907
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: the offseason, Dave Knelis came in as Tampa's O C

908
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: after spending over a decade in Seattle and leading Gino

909
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: Smith to a career year last year. Is it possible

910
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: Baker could go on to a resurgent year like Gino? Well,

911
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: with the Rogers thing, it's one going to be the

912
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: greatest what IFFs, especially if his career is just completely derailed.

913
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: That's what happens anytime an older great, an all time great,

914
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: has a career altering injury. What could have been? Right?

915
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I think the Jets I'm not gonna

916
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: make you know, huge end of the season judgments Week

917
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: two against the Cowboys, but the drop off between Zach

918
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, even at forty years old, is

919
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: it's clearly pretty high. Uh So, Yeah, I think it's

920
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be the biggest what if of this season

921
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: for sure. And that's it's a guy that if Tampa Bay,

922
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: let's just I mean, it's not out of the wrong possibility.

923
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: They have really good players. Now we'll see when Tampa,

924
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: Atlanta and obviously the Saints they all strut playing each other.

925
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: But you talk, the easiest way to get a head

926
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: coaching job and to become the hottest assistant in the

927
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: NFL start resurrecting quarterbacks careers. You resurrect quarterbacks careers. You

928
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: make quarterbacks who wea view NFL people, fans universally like

929
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: everyone agrees, like I wouldn't mess with that guy and

930
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: make him into thirty touchdown gino make him into a

931
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: winning player. Baker Mayfield, with Tampa talking about getting head

932
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: coaching injuries, he will be a head coach. Don't want

933
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: to be the guy who only complains when things are

934
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: not going well and not give credit when things go well.

935
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: The feed is back on track in South Africa. Keep rocking.

936
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: I think this guy was telling me he couldn't get

937
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: the feed in South Africa. When you get in the

938
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: TV show, YouTube show, you can be the next backa fee.

939
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: I believe in you. Kind words. I appreciate you, not

940
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: a question. Good day John, from all the way down

941
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: Under in Australia. I listen to you and Colin every

942
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: day on the way to work. I'm up at three

943
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: am Monday morning to watch the NFL. My wife thinks

944
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm mad. Question for the pod. In the Australian Football League,

945
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: our national sport different to the NFL. We have an

946
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: All Australian team selected at the end of the year

947
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: who never play, but it's an extremely prestigious recognition. I

948
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: know you have the Pro Bowl, but no one plays

949
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: and not many people care. It's so watered down. Do

950
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: you think the NFL should name an All American team

951
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, recognizing the best twenty

952
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: two players from the league across the season. I think

953
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: it would be great and would create a lot of

954
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: buzz and discussion. Side question, who would you name his

955
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: team captain and why well, they do that. It's called

956
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: the All Pros, and if you're an All Pros, it's

957
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: easily more prestigious than the Pro Bowl. I do think,

958
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: you know, when I was a kid, making the Pro

959
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: Bowl meant a lot. Making an All Star team in

960
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: baseball or basketball was a really big deal. And clearly

961
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: I think making the All Star team and baseball still

962
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: a big deal. Making the All Star team in basketball,

963
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean the same guys feels like make it all

964
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: the time. But in football making an All Pro, like,

965
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: if you're a five time All Pro as a guard,

966
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: you're going to the Hall of Fame. So yeah, it's

967
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. That they do that. They

968
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: do a second team as well. A couple more here,

969
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz to the Jets. It's pretty crazy that Carson Wentz.

970
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: His career just feels over like, it feels like we

971
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: are six more injuries away from anyone messing with the guy.

972
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: It really is a good life lesson. Listen, we all

973
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: can get you give any young person some money. Not

974
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna handle it seamlessly, but being humble, listening to you,

975
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: you know your coaches, your bosses, even if you don't

976
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: always agree. And one knock I've consistently heard with him

977
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 1: is he just will not listen to the coaches and listen.

978
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have different ideas sometimes with coaches,

979
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: but like they're kind of in charge and sometime like

980
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: you got to be tactful in the way to get

981
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: what you want. And I'm telling you his reputation, I

982
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: don't even need to tell you it speaks for itself.

983
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: The guy two years ago at twenty seven touchdowns and

984
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: no one will touch the guy, not a team. I still,

985
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: if I was a betting man, think that he gets

986
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: a shot sometime during twenty twenty three. But if you

987
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: would have asked me in the middle of summer, I

988
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: would have said by now, someone would have picked him up.

989
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: But I got a DM story that will you know

990
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: and listen. It's not I'm not gonna read it out loud,

991
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: but I remember reading it thinking, Yeah, I think a

992
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: lot of people have the same idea. It's basically a

993
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: team to send a guy to interview some quarterbacks and uh,

994
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: let's just say that guy was an NFL quarterback or

995
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: used to be, and basically did some recon for the

996
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: team and interviewed several guys about being a teams backup

997
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: and came back with the recon that he got with

998
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: interviewing and having lunch with all these guys. I think

999
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: they flow him around, or maybe he did zooms. I

1000
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: don't exactly know how it went down, and basically just

1001
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: told the team's brass like, yeah, I wouldn't mess with

1002
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: this guy. I'd go with the other guy. And guess

1003
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: what that other guy is the team's backup. So and

1004
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: I just think that a lot of people the NFL

1005
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: is small man. Everyone talks, and when you're really talented,

1006
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: people just deal with you. But there gets to a

1007
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: line where when your talent starts to diminish and people

1008
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: view you as a problem. And being a problem doesn't

1009
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: mean like you're going to jail, doesn't mean that your

1010
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: daily headlines for doing criminal activity or doing drugs. It

1011
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: can be simply like you don't listen. We don't have

1012
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: the energy as a backup quarterback to not have a

1013
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: guy that is basically there just to service the starter

1014
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: and be ready to go in whenever his number is called.

1015
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: Because the majority of guys on a football team have

1016
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: that attitude. Most guys on the football team. You know,

1017
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: are not DK Metcalf or a G. Brown. Most guys

1018
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: are like the role players. Most the average guys, like

1019
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: the fourth and fifth guy on the team as a dB,

1020
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver, just trying to work their way

1021
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: up to Depthtter has a good attitude, works hard attitude.

1022
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: Man might be cliche, but it's you get a reputation

1023
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: for having a bad one. No one wants to be

1024
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: around you. Huge fan, cards fan, and ninety nine percent

1025
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: they're going to be terrible if they don't get Caleb

1026
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 1: at one. What are your thoughts on getting Sanders from

1027
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: Colorado and trade Kyler? Do you think Dion would be

1028
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: able to be in OC in the NFL kind of

1029
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: like they did with Kyler and Cliff Well. What's funny

1030
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: is Eon was the OC when Shador was in high

1031
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: school at Trinity not Trinity Forest. Maybe it's Trinity Forest.

1032
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was in Florida, but I forget did

1033
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: Chador grow up in Dallas or Florida, whichever one. Dion

1034
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: was the team's OC. Now, Dion's never being a coordinator

1035
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: like Deon's a head coach now. Now, Dion has been

1036
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: very very that he doesn't want to go to the

1037
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: NFL that he likes influencing these young guys. I talked

1038
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: about it earlier today. I think Chador is a great

1039
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: wild card. Obviously, if he chose to go to the NFL,

1040
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: he would be a very very high pick. I'm kind

1041
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: of assuming that he's gonna stay for two years this

1042
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: year and next because of Travis Hunter and with his dad,

1043
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: but you never know. I think Kyler Murray's not on

1044
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: the Cardinals next year. That would be my guess. But

1045
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: like I said earlier with the you know, with the

1046
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: question about the Bears and the Cardinals, we're a long

1047
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: way away from having this information. We got to let

1048
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: it play out. I mean last year, who at this

1049
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 1: time the Bears were like one and one. Not in

1050
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: a million years would we have thought they would have

1051
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: had the number one overall pick. Then they lost ten

1052
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: straight games, So weird shit happens in the NFL. Man,

1053
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: It's just it's a long season. Okay, last question here.

1054
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: I've been listening from the beginning, and you're my favorite

1055
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: podcast in a saturated market. We got some very very

1056
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: nice guys in the DM. I like all you guys.

1057
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: Your takes on life have changed my career trajectory, Jesus

1058
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: betting on myself and trying to hit home runs versus singles.

1059
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: Keep them coming. Also, remember that fair weather Patriot fan.

1060
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Screw that guy. That guy who said should he jump

1061
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: off the Patriot bandwagon has gotten consistent hate in my DMS,

1062
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: and I think it's justified. You had the greatest twenty

1063
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: year run I've ever seen in sports MJ and the

1064
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: Bulls run lasted like eight and a half years. You

1065
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: guys went from one to twenty eighteen. It is as

1066
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: good as it will ever be in any sport moving forward.

1067
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Even the Warriors, it's like fourteen to twenty one. They

1068
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,399
Speaker 1: might never win another title. It's a long run. I'm

1069
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: a diehard Bucks fan, and I thought the national media

1070
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: was too lazy with their takes on tom as out

1071
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: Baker is in Bucks will suck. Unlike the Rams. The

1072
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: majority of the court chargers from the Bucks defense were

1073
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl team, plus Evans and Godwin. I

1074
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: think the reason I thought they were gonna think is,

1075
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: you guys clearly have some good players on defense. I mean,

1076
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: watching that Bears game videvea, got that guy's a beast.

1077
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: Jack Barrett makes plays your linebackers are good. Winfield's a

1078
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 1: good player. What's his name? The corner who was out

1079
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: against the Bears, like that guy offensively, like you said,

1080
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, No Mike Evis, but they've even like

1081
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: they didn't extend him, you know. And I think the

1082
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: Baker we've seen, I mean last year he was one

1083
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: of the worst players in the league. He was atrocious,

1084
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: he really was. So you get this new offensive coordinator,

1085
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: your offensive humming. Yeah, I mean, there's no disputing that

1086
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: you have seven eight impact players, like guys that are

1087
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,439
Speaker 1: equals with you know, your core stud players when they're

1088
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: playing well, are Eagles, Cowboys forty nine ers level talent.

1089
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: It's just the other offensive lineman Baker's play. The coaching,

1090
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: I would say, is a big deal because one thing

1091
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is great defensive coordinator as a head coach,

1092
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: has been very suspect so far this year. You guys

1093
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: look really good, you really do. But you play the

1094
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: Bears and you look good two weeks in a row.

1095
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna like put you guys in the

1096
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: playoffs just yet, but I do think it's fair to

1097
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: say that this season, play the Vikings and the Bears.

1098
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean two teams. I'm not trying to burst your bubble,

1099
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: but I mean, if we had to do combined wins

1100
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: of those two teams, are we looking at like nine?

1101
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: You got here? Here's what's coming up. I think we're

1102
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: gonna learn a lot about you. Hit me back up

1103
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: late October. Eagles Monday Night Football, the first game, which

1104
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Then you get the Saints in New Orleans.

1105
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: Then you play the Lions, who listen, I think are

1106
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. Then you get the Falcons at home, who

1107
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't really love, but they definitely have some talent.

1108
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: Then you go to Buffalo. So right now you're two

1109
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: and zero. Let's say you lose the Eagles. That says

1110
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: game would be big, because that's like, are you going

1111
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: two and two or three and one and you got

1112
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: to win over division rival? Then you play the Lions,

1113
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I mean, can you get to if you're

1114
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: five and three, you'd be in pretty good shape because

1115
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 1: then you got a lot of Texans, Buccaneers, Colts, Panthers, Jags,

1116
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: Jacks are actually pretty good. Panthers again, Packers, So I

1117
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's out of the realm. Possibility. You guys

1118
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: are a playoff team, but also it's not out of

1119
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: the realm possibility. You're seven win teams. I think we're

1120
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna learn a lot about you in the next four games,

1121
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: which welcome to the NFL. The volume
