Speaker 1: And I think you guys are gonna like what he

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: has to say, especially if you're a Cowboys fan. UM,

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: a couple of house cleaning items. This is a bit

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: of a shocker in the NBA. Dennis Shrewder is leaving

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers and going to the Boston Celtics. I couldn't

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: believe it. I was stunned when I saw this. Now

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm on a text chain with two guys who used

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: to be at the Big Lead and Um. One of

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: them was like, oh yeah, Dennis Shrewder Celtics could happen.

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I was like what I had not? You know, like listen,

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: after the first couple of days of NBA free agency,

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, moving on, UM and Struder went

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: to Boston. I was stunned. He's going on a one

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: year deal. It look, what is it? Nine million dollars.

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: This is a guy who rejected rejected a colossal offer

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: from the Lakers because he thought he could make more money.

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: The Lakers offered him four years eighty four mill. Okay,

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: so elementary math says, what is that twenty one million

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: dollars a year? I'm sorry, Dennis Shooter one year five

44
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: point nine mill cost himself fifteen millie. Now, a good

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: agent might say, well, I don't know what went on

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but I was just gonna say. The

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: agent might say, listen, instead of taking the seven or

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: ten percent, I'll take half that because we didn't make

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: it happen. But that does open a can of worms.

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: It's ugly. Now, if you've got an Ari Gold type agent,

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: shout out the Entourage, where the best shows in HBO's history. Um,

52
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: you can. You don't screw that up, and you're making

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: things happen, by the way, super duper randomly, I ended

54
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: up watching this week one of my favored Entourage episodes,

55
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: first season, second episode, Jessica Alba's In It Now was

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: you know I interviewed Jessica alber once and I was

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: a big fan of her work back in her acting days,

58
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: and um, it's just a great episode. And Ari pulls

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: e aside, and it's like, Yo, this is why you

60
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: should have had him looking at scripts and taking a

61
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: movie before reviews came out. For whatever. His first movie

62
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: review came out and it was it was a terrible review,

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: and he was like learning lessons on the fly, like,

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: oh shoot, we stepped in it. We could screw up.

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: Of course, it's entourage. Everything works out. But Dennis Shrewder,

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: like I know, betting on yourself works. I get that,

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Like dude going from twenty one mill to six and

68
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: having only one year. Now, I know that Listen Shrewder

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: could play well. Um Keba Walker's gone in Boston, so

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: there'll be an opportunity. I don't know if he starts,

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: but um, you know he should have an opportunity to

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: play well there. Um. They do have Tatum, Uh, they

73

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: But I don't really want to talk about that at all.

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: see this huge Mack truck doing like a fifteen star

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: turn because it's carrying one of those huge excavating diggers.

84
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: There's just a ton of construction in our area. And

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: this car, this eight team wheeler, cannot It's like a flatbed.

86
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: A team wheeler can't make the turn. And I look

87
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: and there's like traffic backed up all three ways on

88
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: the street. And I'm like, what a cluster that is? Jeez,

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: And I just hear the beeping and it goes on

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: for a while. I don't spend a lot of time

91
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: looking out the window, and I go about my day,

92
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm working on this piece for Fox Sports, um,

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: doing some other stuff. All of a sudden, I get

94
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: a text from the wife. Hey, our neighbor just texted

95
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: me that your car got hit. And I'm like what.

96
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: And I go out to look at my car and

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: lo and behold, bam, there's just a humongous dent on

98
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: the on the driver's side, Um a door, just massive dent.

99
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell? And my first thought was,

100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it was these construction pricks. I look

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: on the dash on the wind show. Nope, nobody left

102
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: a message. No, no message, nobody left a note. And

103
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: I see there's other I mean seriously, there's literally four

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: groups of construction people working on like our street, different groups.

105
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: So these other two guys are like staring at the car, like,

106
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and I was like, did you guys

107
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: see it? And they were like no, um, but we

108
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: saw the vehicle making a turn. It had to be

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: that guy. And that was what our neighbors speculator too.

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: And so instantly I walk around to the other construction guys, Hey,

111
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: did you guys have the ex vader? No? No, no,

112
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: up the block. They went up, you know, up there.

113
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: So I walk up the block, you know, and I

114
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: was like wait, wait, wait wait, let me go in

115
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: my house and get ready just in case these guys

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: are total assholes, you know. I get my uh, I

117
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: get my phone, and I get my mask, and I like,

118
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, put on a hat and shades, and I

119
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: was I was pissed. I kind of needed to calm down.

120
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Like you go out to your car, there's a huge dent.

121
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: You kind of know who did it, but they didn't

122
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: leave a note. Of course they had left the site.

123
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: But there's a number. So I called them and I

124
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: get the number. I called the guy, the subcontractor, and

125
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: he's like, wait, they already had an excavator on the site.

126
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Let me swing by. So he goes by. These guys

127
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: are so I guess, such amateurs that they somehow screwed

128
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: up and needed a bigger excavator. Didn't tell the subcontractor,

129
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: went and got it and on the way hit my car.

130
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: I sent the pictures the guy drove out my car

131
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: is a Google geez, sorry dude, um and I had

133
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: is a first world problem. This is nothing. You're probably

00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,039

136
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: nonsense of going through this crap. It's like a headache.

137
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: I didn't need, you know. I like structure. Like Tuesday,

138

Speaker 1: phone with the insurance company for thirty minutes. And then

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: that's when like the wife is like, oh, we're guessing

147

00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: Live below your means, don't buy new cars, always buy used.

152
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: My car is thirteen years old, it's been paid off

153
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: for a long time. Don't have a car paid it

154
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: feels good. And you know, my wife's with her relatives

155
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: and she says, they all think you're gonna get a Tesla,

156
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, I would love a Tesla,

157
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: but we're renters. Ain't no way in hell I'm gonna

158
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: go be like a shlub and sit at the local

159
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: grocery store or my car charges in the morning or

160
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: at night. I know dads that do that. They said,

161
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: it sucks. You gotta get the charging station at your house.

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: Guess what we're renting. I'm not adding a charging station

163
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: to this place. Hell no. And now I've gone on

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: way too long and you guys don't care. But I'm

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: just saying, Ah, it's my life. This is the stuff

166
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: I've got to deal with, all right. Coming up next

167

00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: sports fans want, but for everything he doesn't. He knows

172
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: a guy who does. Let's just say I know a

173
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: guy who knows a guy another guy. All right, let's

174
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: welcome in Albert Brier. I've done this guy for a while.

Speaker 1: He covers the league for He's covered the league for everywhere,

176
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: so he's got sources out the wazoo. I read his

177
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: stuff this week on the Rams. I'm bullish on the Rams. Uh.

178
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: He came out west last week. We were not able

179
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: to catch up. But uh, Albert, how are you made

180
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: an effort? We didn't make an effort. You're a busy man, man,

181
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: you're in high demand. How many places are you working

182
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: for now? Do you got radio? I'm on I'm on

183
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: your I'm on with your guys at Fox with Calherd.

184
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, a bunch of different balls in the air.

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: One of the best in the business. Um, all right,

186
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: let's just dive right in. First of all, how was

187
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: it getting back out on the road last year? I

188
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: don't think anybody was able to cover anything, right, Yeah,

189
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: it was great. I mean I I've seen this with

190
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: a few people, and I think that's really kind of

191
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: encapsulate said. And I think this goes for everybody, not

192
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: just people who are in our business. You know. I

193
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: think over the last year and a half we all

194
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: learned to be really efficient through our phone, was through

195
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: doing meetings over zoom and Um, the fact that we

196
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: can do this right now, Jason is part of at

197
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: the level of the quality that we can do it

198
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: now is probably in part because we have we've adapted

199
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: so well. But UM, you know, one thing the last

200
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks on the road and being with fourteen

201
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: different teams, UH, really reminded me is like the face

202
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: to face interaction that's irreplaceable. It's priceless, you know, And

203
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: so getting to see people face to face again was huge,

204
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it's always a good trip because

205
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's like tough to

206
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: book and all that, but once you actually get out

207
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: there in the road, it's great. Yeah. Yeah. Um let's start.

208
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: First of all, we're recording this before Hard Knocks debuts tonight, uh,

209
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: Tuesday night. And I gotta ask, like, where are you

210
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: on optimism for the Cowboys? Uh? This year Hard Knocks?

211
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: It feels like and there's I don't have hard numbers

212
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: to back this up. It feels like every team that

213
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: goes on there just sputters and doesn't really do anything

214
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Yeah. I actually think like so

215
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: to me, like they're one of these teams that has

216
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: a lot of variables. High ceiling, but a lot of variables.

217
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: So I think you have to start asking the questions.

218
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: It's Micah Parson ready, um to I can impact on

219
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: defense and and and maybe add something to their past

220
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: rush because he can do so many different things. Well, Um,

221
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: can they keep DeMarcus Lawrence healthy? What's their corner situation?

222
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: Does Kelvin Joseph come along as a rookie, Does Trayvon

223
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: Diggs take the next step. And then on offensors, the

224
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: obvious right now, we know they've got all the flashy

225
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: things there, but Ken, Zack Martin and and Tyron Smith

226
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: stay healthy because the identity of that team for so

227
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: long has been the offensive line. And so I just

228
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: think you look up and down at that roster and

229
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: you can really make a case like this should be

230
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: a twelve or thirteen win team, but they have to

231
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: hit a lot of those things, you know what I mean.

232
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: Like so they're one of these teams that has so

233
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,239
Speaker 1: many variables. I remember last year the buzzword was continuity

234
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: because of the weird offseason, Like the Cowboys still kind

235
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: of bring back everybody right on offense. Now the defense

236
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: is a bit of a dumpster fire with Quinn coming in.

237
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think you can make the case,

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: like in when what I think is kind of a

239
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: down NFC um, I think they've got a shot here

240
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: to honestly get to the Super Bowl. I feel embarrassing

241
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: that out loud when you look at like the division, Yeah,

242
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: that's where I think it's gonna be more competitive, Like

243
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: the Giants have loaded up a little bit, and Washington

244
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: was a good team last year and I think Ron

245
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: Rivere's at least stabilized that franchise. But you know, I

246
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: think the four teams in the NFC East, they've got

247
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: the highest ceiling. It's arguable, you know what I mean, Like,

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean they're gonna be the best team,

249
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: But if you just look at like, how good can

250
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 1: I envision this team being, the Cowboys are probably the

251
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: one team that you can see like that team there's

252
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: like a reasonable path to twelve or thirteen wins for them. Yeah. Um,

253
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: now let's stay in the division. Um we I've been

254
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: reluctant to talk about Deshaun Watson on this pot a

255
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: lot um and I know staying in the division doesn't

256
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: make sense, but um, you know, Jalen Hurts just kind

257
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: of Dalen Hurts is struggling in Philly, and um, you know,

258
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson not traveling with the team. We saw the

259
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: tweet from what's his name McCain saying Watson never play

260
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: it down again? And you just look around and the

261
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: Eagles have AMMO to trade for Watson. I know he's

262
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: got the legal stuff. Um, is it premature to think

263
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: that something could happen before this calendar year? End. Let

264
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: me give you, like the landscape here, um the Nick Kissario,

265
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the first year general manager of the Texans. Um. Every

266
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: indication I've got is he's resolved not to take a discount.

267
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't want his first major move as the GM

268
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: of the Texans to be the trade away Deshaun Watson

269
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: for fifty cents and the dollar, because imagine j Mac

270
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: in a month's like there's a settlement and then he's

271
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: back on the field a month after that, Like, how

272
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: horrible that looks if he took a disc takes a discount, right,

273
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: And that's not minimizing the other because obviously the legal case,

274
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: that's the most serious stuff here. So I don't want

275
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: to like sound like I'm being callous about it, but

276
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: that's sort of the way you have to approach it.

277
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: And if you're another team, can you give up a

278
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: historic return? Can you give up an historic hall of

279
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: draft picks players? Whatever? To do that right now? Considering

280
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: this is still ongoing, And so to me, like this

281
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: sort of rises to the level of being an ownership decision, Okay,

282
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: and I ain't. They're two teams that would probably get

283
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: ownership sign off on it, and that's Carolina and Philly.

284
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: I think those two teams, you can envision a scenario

285
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: where those two would be able to get their ownership

286
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: to sign off on doing something while this is still ongoing,

287
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: and I think even then it would probably have to

288
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: be a bunch of conditional picks and that sort of

289
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: stuff that are like connected to his ongoing legal situation.

290
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Miami's another that I'd sort of had my eye on,

291
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: and then Denver to me, Denver's like Carolina and that

292
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: both those teams really like justin fields before the draft,

293
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: but because of how tumultuous the quarterback situation has been

294
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: across the league, basically didn't want to sell out for

295
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: a rookie right now, and Carolina Denver sort of sitting

296
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: there in a spot where they're like, we are okay

297
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: with what we have right now, but we've left our

298
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: options open. So if Deshaun Watson, if the price is

299
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: where we needed to be, maybe we do that. Or

300
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: next off offseason, if Russell Wilson or um, you know,

301
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: or Aaron Rodgers available, we can go and do something

302
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: like that. And so, um yeah, I would say those

303
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: four teams are the teams. The thing is, I think

304
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to rise to um, you know, you

305
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: have to rise to giving a a market price for

306
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And given the fact that the legal situation

307
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: is still ongoing, and when you bring him in, he

308
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: is immediately going to become the face of your franchise.

309
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a tough sell for some teams. Uh

310
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: So Carolina has temper right. The billionaire young dude uh

311
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: with a head, fun guy like a private equity like

312
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: those guys love to take risks and the s s

313
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: risk uh Lurie is kind of different, right, He's kind

314
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: of a isn't he an older money guy that he

315
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: didn't you have a lot like that. Philly has got

316
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: so much history of taking chances on guys, you know

317
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, I mean it goes back. I mean,

318
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Mike fixed the most obvious one, but there are other examples.

319
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: They brought in Terrell Owens and a really really weird

320
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Now this is like you could even say Carson Wentz

321
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: was a risk, could you not? I mean yeah, I

322
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: mean I mean to get him, yeah, I mean they've

323
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: they've taken skepter risk, and I do I do think

324
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: the one like piece of the one nuanced this whole

325
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: thing is both Jeffrey Louri and David Tepper are the

326
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: two owners were talking about. I think it relatively obsessed

327
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: with getting a quarterback position, right, you know what I mean,

328
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: like to the point where it was like sort of

329
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: like I think for Tepper spen since he bought the team,

330
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: but he's a little bit more involved now that he's

331
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: got his feet wet as an owner. And for Louri,

332
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: I think it connects the fact that they traded away

333
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, who he had been all in on. You know,

334
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: that was his guy, right. Let me ask about Lurie.

335
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: So wait, um, do you think given his recent year

336
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: where every media outlet beat him up for being meddling

337
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: and screwing around with the drafts and you know, being

338
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: all in on Carson Wentz and all that and it's

339
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: messing up, do you think he'd be more reluctant to

340
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: take a chance or doubling down because I like, I'm

341
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: not saying I see, I'm not saying he'd mettle. I'm

342
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: saying I think he gives a green light. So how

343
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: he wanted to it, right, Like if Howie Roseman wanted

344
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: to do this, like I think he'd give him the

345
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: green light. And the thing about it is, think about

346
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: it for Howie if he brings into Sean, you know,

347
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: like after going through everything they went through, a coaching

348
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: change kind of gives him a new lease in life,

349
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so it's like you

350
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: at least gotta let that play out a little bit.

351
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: And so the way I look at it, you know,

352
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: I again like it would be an enormous risk to

353
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: do it right now because I mean, like there's so

354
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: much I mean, here's the thing, like, if there's a

355
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: settlement right like four months down the line, who's to

356
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: say there's not that the more could come out, you

357
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like this just I mean, so

358
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: you really have to feel comfortable with it. And and

359
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: I would assume that these teams, I don't know this,

360
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: but I assume that any team that's considering looking at

361
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: Watson probably has their security people on it already. But

362
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: it's complicated like that. And it's even more complicated because

363
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: I think the Texans are showing right now like look,

364
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: we're not like just going to get rid of this guy.

365
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: To get rid of this guy, We're not going to

366
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: just try and trade him like we need to do

367
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: what's right for the team long term, like and what's

368
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: right for the team long term when you got twenty

369
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: five year old franchise quarterback who's under contract for the

370
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: next five years is to get every single piece of

371
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: capital you possibly can for him unless you can somehow

372
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: figure out a way to keep him, which I think

373
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: the ships completely sailed on that. Yeah. I don't have

374
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: the numbers, but I think I saw eighteen women came

375
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: out and defended him and say, oh, I've given a massage,

376
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: no problem, And there's like twenty one who are like,

377
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: now this guy shady, and then there's two with the

378
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: criminal and I have That's why j MC that's why

379
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: I have such a hard I can't. It's not fair

380
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: to him to have a take on this because before

381
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: this he was a model citizen. It's also not fair

382
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: to to to be on the other side of it.

383
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: It's not fair of the twenty two women to act

384
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: like this is just some sort of like, you know,

385
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: entanglements towards making And don't forget the NFL investigation. We

386
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna turn up. But now I

387
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: gotta say, historically they've been all over the place um

388
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: hard on some guys and light on others. I don't

389
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: know where I have no I have no idea what

390
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: that is. But and that that's the thing is, like

391
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: I do think. So, I mean, first of all, like

392
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: I you know, like I were so impatient about this stuff,

393
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: and fact a fact, the fact of the matter is

394
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: the legal system doesn't work on the NFL's timeline, you

395
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Unfortunately they don't. They don't care,

396
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: and so and and again like in fairness to the

397
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: women involved, in fairness to Sean, like I think it's

398
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: I think it's unfair to have any sort of like

399
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: take on this one. Yeah, but I do think, but

400
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: I do think, like the NFL, if you look at

401
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: their history, I think it's unlikely to Shaun's not suspended

402
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: for this, even if there's a settlement, even if this

403
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: is adjudicated um relatively shortly. My guests would be like,

404
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: you'd probably be looking baseline, and maybe it wants to

405
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: be more than this, but baseline, like a Roethlisbroger suspension

406
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: was believe with six game games and it was knocked

407
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: down to four on certain conditions. So if he met

408
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: certain conditions, then it got reduced down to four. Okay,

409
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: I I was thinking six, but you're right, four could easily.

410
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: We don't know. I mean, that's like that I have.

411
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: That's like best case scenario. Obviously there's some level of

412
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: guilt here because he's already I think you can already,

413
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: like we can already. The one thing we can presume

414
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: right now is that like is what it was, what

415
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger was. It wasn't that he was guilty of anything.

416
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: It was you put yourself in a bad position. Therefore

417
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: you put the league in a bad position. You made

418
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: yourself look bad. Therefore you made the league look bad.

419
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: And I think, like the very least you can probably

420
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: say that the Shawn has done that, you know what

421
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean. Like now, whether or not he's guilty, we'll see.

422
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: That will be decided in court. But I think at

423
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: the very least you can probably make that argument. Fox

428
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: don't know if controversies yet, debates, but trade lance, taking

429
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: many more snaps, all of a sudden this week in

430
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco. You touched on that and then your Patriots,

431
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: not your team, but your backyard. Um mac Jones getting

432
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: way more snaps than I thought first team reps. Like,

433
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, Albert, I can't imagine that the

434
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: Patriots would start mac Jones a rookie in the opener

435
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: against Flores. We saw what flores is d did last

436
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: year to Herbert. He had one of his worst games.

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: But I definitely think we're gonna be seeing some mac

438
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: Jones at some point this year. Let's start with San Francisco. Okay,

439
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you. I don't think you

440
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: can look at this binary like it's not I think

441
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: just Lance or Garoppolo. Um, yeah, I think we could

442
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: see some combination of him, you know, talking to Kyle Shanahan,

443
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: like I think he's like mulling, like could I go

444
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: week to week? Now? I don't know if that would,

445
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: but I mean it'd be a fun would be a

446
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: fun thing to cover. Um, you know, So like I,

447
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: I I think like Kyle is thinking outside the box

448
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: on this a little bit. Doesn't mean he won't pick

449
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: one and roll with him. But you know, if Jimmy

450
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: is a starter. I think we're going to see some

451
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: of Trey. The next question, of course, would be if

452
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: Treys a starter, is Jimmy gone? And at this point,

453
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: like they've ridden it out for so long with Jimmy

454
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: at this point and I just don't like one thing.

455
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: At one point someone there made to me was, well,

456
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: if we do that, aren't we the same position we've

457
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: been the last few years where if you lose your starter,

458
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, a championship team isn't a

459
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: championship team anymore. And remember they went through eighteen and

460
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 1: twenty paying for their lack of quarterback death? Right? Are

461
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: you comfortable with Nate Sudfeld like piloting a championship level roster?

462
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: So that's why I think both guys are on the

463
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: team this year. Um. As for New England, everything about Bill,

464
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: everything in Bill's history tells you like he'll play it

465
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: safe here and he'll start with cam and if he

466
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: has to go to Maco, go to Mac. Um. I

467
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: think Mac has an opportunity because in the spring, all

468
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: you can do is put yourself in position to compete.

469
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: That's the that's like the basic rule there is, like

470
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: you can't win a job in the spring, you can

471
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: just create a competition in this summer. Mac check that

472
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: box and then when you get to the summer. My

473
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: experience has always been watched the reps, Watch who's playing

474
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: with the ones, who's playing behind the first offensive line.

475
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: I think we've gradually seen more of that. And to me,

476
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: there was a practice last week was pouring rain and

477
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: Mac hadn't played well the week before, and all of

478
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: a sudden, Mac Jones reps went through the roof that day.

479
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: It was coming off of a bad day, right, so

480
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: bad day, it's raining, and like, to me, it's like

481
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: you look at like something like that. Bill's philosophy has

482
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: always been that those sorts of spots, like when it's

483
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: inclement weather out like some coaches will go in the

484
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: bubble bills like, no, that's opportunity, Like that's a good

485
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: chance to test my guys. And so the fact that

486
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: he wanted to see more of Mac in that environment

487
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: tells me he's at least toying with the idea of

488
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: keeping me or starting Mac. And and this is unlike

489
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: the Niners too. I think if Max the starter, cam

490
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: might not be on the team. Wow, why why not

491
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: because the team loves I'm just not they love Cam

492
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: like they love Cam as a player, as a person,

493
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: everything else. Does he fit as the backup or would

494
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: you rather have Brian Hoyer there, who, at the very

495
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: least you know, can be a resource to your start.

496
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: So spin, I just think something you have to consider.

497
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, but Cam has never

498
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: been a backup in his life. Where would he go?

499
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: Would you go to the Houston Texans? I don't know.

500
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: It's a good question, Nick, I don't know who their

501
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: backup is because you know Tyrod and I don't know

502
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: who the Davis Mills come. Well, they're tanking, right, I

503
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: mean Mills got talent. He couldn't stay healthy in college.

504
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Had that issue only started like seven games, he does

505
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: like look it up. It was like a five star

506
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: recruit had like five injuries on his knee or whatever. Wait,

507
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: so then the other team is the Lions. They're one

508
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the league. Um, I don't

509
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: think they're gonna I think I think they got golf, right,

510
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna add Cam. No, I mean

511
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: I think they're I think they're locked in with golf

512
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: and this is obviously a retooling year for them. So

513
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know where to go, man,

514
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing. It's hard. Here's here's what's hard.

515
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: Like I think with Cam, look, I think it's a

516
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: little like Jay Cutler, where teams I don't think teams

517
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: could really envision Jay Cutler's a backup, you know what

518
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: I mean. I just thought I think I think there

519
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: was just and that's not that Jay is a bad guy.

520
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: People argue about that all the time. Cam is definitely

521
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: not a bad guy. But they're just certain quarterbacks where

522
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: when they're done as a starter, it's just hard for

523
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: them to find work because like teams just don't have

524
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: it in their head that this guy can be in

525
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: the show like kind of in the background week to

526
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: week and kind of resource for the starter and all

527
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: that different stuff. Yeah, I mean Cam was a superstar,

528
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: he was an m d P of the league. It's

529
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be holding so to me, like like

530
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: if Cam weren't on the Patriots, like I would like

531
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: look for an injury somewhere, like maybe that would be

532
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: where he would wind up going. And then he surfaces somewhere. Okay, Um,

533
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: and then, uh, you know the Trey Lance Garoppolo thing.

534
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: I want to ask this. Let's just say hypothetically, and

535
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the fort Ninards have if they can ever stay healthy,

536
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: they're loaded. Um, let's just stay hypothetically they get to

537
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they get back to the super Bowl.

538
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is a starter, but with some spot packages

539
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: from Trey Lance. Like, is there a world where they

540
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: do not move on from Garoppolo after this? Yeah? Like,

541
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: if they win the super Bowl or get to the

542
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl and Garoppolo is playing well, Like, I don't

543
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: think that's out of the realm, that's problem talking, then

544
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: his trade value is through the roof. Yeah, I mean

545
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: I I still think Trey Lance is the quarterback in

546
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: their regardless and Jimmy Garoppolo is probably somewhere else. That

547
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: would be my guess. He's going into a contract year.

548
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: So this actually sets up where, um, you know, Jimmy

549
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: after this year will have one year left on his deals.

550
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: And if you're Jimmy, are you doing an extension with

551
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the nine Nurse? And then if you're not at the

552
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: Niners and he doesn't do an extension with you, you're

553
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: looking at and you're saying, okay, like I'd either have

554
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: one more year with Jimmy or we can just move

555
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: forward with Trey Lance, who we know it's gonna be

556
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: our quarterback long term. That'd be my guests would be

557
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: like almost regardless, like absent like Jimmy becoming the best

558
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, it's probably Trey Lance in regardless.

559
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: And that's what's weird. Yesterday on the POTT, I went

560
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: through a bunch of teams and I'm like, who would

561
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: you rather have, Jimmy Garoppolo or this starter here? Um

562
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: you know there there, I would say Garoppolo is the

563
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: top twenty quarterback in the league. I personally like him

564
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: a lot. How about this? We have like the Niners

565
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: like him like the problem So there are a couple

566
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: of problems with him. Number one, freelances a bunch like

567
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: and I think a little bit too much for their liking, right,

568
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: And number two that's led to injury in some cases,

569
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: and so like if you can't keep them healthy. And

570
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: remember his injury history goes back to New England. He

571
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: got hurt there too, and it's like little you know,

572
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: like it's his four game sample there, um, you know,

573
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: if you like, Yeah, I just think that there's it's

574
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: not that they don't really like Jimmy as a player,

575
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: is that there are certain areas where they feel like

576
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: they could be better. Here's the other thing too, And

577
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: I talked to Kyle a little bit about this. Look

578
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: at who he lost to in the super Bowl, like

579
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: that experience of being up like that and coaching your

580
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: ass off and then one guy coming in and making

581
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: it all not matter right in Super Bowl um, in

582
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty against against Brady and Brady comes back

583
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: from down down three and then in Super Bowl against

584
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Both those games he held a lead in

585
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: both those games, it quickly evaporated because one guy. And

586
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: so I think that's part of the mentality now for

587
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: for Kyle and for John Lynch and for all the

588
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: other guys, there is like we need to raise the

589
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: ceiling a little bit on quarterback, and Trey Lance gives

590
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: them the opportunity to do it. It's like the same

591
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: concept actually is the exact same concept as like what

592
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: the Rams did, where the Rams had a perfectly good

593
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: starter but like looked around and said themselves, you know what,

594
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: we need to find another level at the position um Man,

595
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: this Colts team with the injuries, uh, Carson Wentz, Quentin Nelson, Um,

596
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jimmy Garoppolo a potential Colts quarterback

597
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: not this year, obviously next year. And the other one

598
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: I would ask is the Pittsburgh Steelers was big then

599
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: took a five million dollar pay cut. I'd be surprised,

600
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: um if you if you wound up on the Colts.

601
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: The Colts actually had like an opportunity um, or at

602
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: least like there were there were very very preliminary discussions

603
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: at one point between the Niners and Colts, Like I

604
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: don't think the Colts would be in on that, um

605
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: My guests would be Pittsburgh could make some sense um

606
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: down the line. And so yeah, I mean I think

607
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: after this year, the Steelers options are sort of open um,

608
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, would they you know, getting the

609
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: running for Aaron Rodgers a year from now? Maybe they

610
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: would write like if you think about it, like I

611
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: forgot about that guy. I mean That's the thing is

612
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: like that after this year, there are gonna be some

613
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: spots that could open up a little bit. And so

614
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: there are teams like that where you're not thinking about

615
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: them for like an Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson or

616
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: any of these guys that might be available after this year,

617
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: where a year from now things could open up in

618
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: those places. All right, So we'll wrap up with gambling

619
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: in a fantasy question. And then of course, you know,

620
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: I know you pick your Super Bowl teams for s I,

621
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: but um, I need I need to give you. I

622
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: need leans out of you, at least at this point.

623
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: So we'll go first of all, fantasy, any player that

624
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: you think could pop as a potential, Like, oh my gosh,

625
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna blow up. I'm trying to think, like

626
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson last year was monster ceedee lamb ceedee lamb um,

627
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: so one of the big things that might productive as

628
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: a rookie even with a really messed up quarterback situation,

629
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: messed up offensive line situation there. Um, and like I

630
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: like they believe he's gonna be a superstar, and so

631
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: like looking at him, like he's just Mike McCarthy really

632
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: emphasized as being able to play all three receiver positions,

633
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: like he wants to be able to move his guys around,

634
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: and as a rookie that's really hard to do. So

635
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: like CD was sort of like a little static as

636
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: a rookie, but now the year under his belt, they

637
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: feel more free to move him around, which I think

638
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be huge for him in McCarthy's offense. So

639
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: I take Cooper. Cooper's kind of banged up too, isn't

640
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: He's always a little nicked up. Yeah, Cooper is banged up.

641
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: And I think, like, I think over time like Lamb

642
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: winds up being a better player than Cooper. So I

643
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: think over over time like Lamb winds up being the

644
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: number one there um as Super Bowl Leans. At this point,

645
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: I know it's early. I'm not gonna hold you too.

646
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean I could be I canna go really boring

647
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: and go Chief Speers, which is like probably what I

648
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: would pick right now, um, if you want me to,

649
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: if you want me to kind of like throw a

650
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: couple of curveballs per conference. One Ram the Rams, the

651
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: Rams are like you feel really good about where the

652
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: roster is Stafford. I mean, like I wouldn't be surprised

653
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: if he's the MVP of the league. So like the

654
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Rams would sort of be the one that I'd be

655
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: like kind of toying with On the NFC side, as

656
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: far as putting them in there, and then on the

657
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: A f C side, I'm scared to say Cleveland. Right,

658
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: there's so many things that are going right there right now. Uh,

659
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Like Cleveland would be the one. Like in the old

660
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: days of S side you remember, like sometimes there would

661
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: be like the like out of left field super Bowl pick,

662
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: like and you're my you're you're I think you're a

663
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: little older than me, but around my age. Like I

664
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: remember the NFL preview issue, like like every couple of

665
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: years there'd be like just the wild card. In fact,

666
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: I think one year was the Browns. If you look

667
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: this up, I think s I picked the Browns to

668
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl in Belichick's last year. There

669
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: was that doctor Z back. I think so yeah, I

670
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: think that I think s I picked the Browns to

671
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: be in the Super Bowl ninety five, which wound up

672
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: being there last year in Cleveland. So Cleveland would be

673
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: like kind of my curveball. So Packers Chiefs conventional rams,

674
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: Brown's a little weird, okay. And then I need a

675
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: team that didn't make the playoffs last year that is

676
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: going to make it this year in each conference, and

677
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: you are allowed to pick the Jets Okay, well, I'm

678
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: not going to pick the Jets, although I really like

679
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: what solid like every team you've been to and read

680
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: about and talk to yet I haven't even been there yet.

681
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Um So in the NFC, give me the Cowboys. I

682
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: just think they're too talented. I think they're gonna bounce back. Um.

683
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: I know that's not the most ambitious pick, but I

684
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: would definitely say, um, I would definitely say I think

685
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: that they're they're going to be a better team this year,

686
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: and with seven teams getting in from each conference, they

687
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: make sense to me as one that would make it

688
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: the a f C Chargers. Um. Yeah, I really like

689
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: brand and Staley, you know, like I liked him as

690
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: a head coach in Canada. I like the job he's

691
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: doing there. I think Herbert is going to have a

692
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz in two thousand and seventeen Patrick Mahomes in

693
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen, sort of like step forward where

694
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: we're like, WHOA, Like this guy might be a top

695
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: five quarterback already. Really you're that that bullish? Yeah? I

696
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: mean I I think myself included a lot of people

697
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: miss some stuff on justin Herbert coming out like and

698
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: that's nothing against Joe Burrow, who deserved to be the

699
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: number one pick, But I mean, man, like, I think

700
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: if if you if everybody knew what they know now,

701
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: like that would have been much more of a debate

702
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: Burrow versus Herbert. But here wait, I guess on on Herbert,

703
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: I'll ask, like, yeah, you put up great numbers, historically

704
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: good stuff, but didn't they get a new head coach?

705
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: Didn't they get his shame offensive coordinator a new one,

706
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: new coach. I think that that can also play to

707
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: your advantage if you're smart about it, Jay Matt, what

708
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: is it? Is it a don't know they don't know

709
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: what you're doing, like they don't know what you're gonna

710
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: be throwing at him? And on a week to week basis,

711
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: I think that they can be flexible. And you look

712
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: at the town in that offense, right, And this is

713
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: another piece of it. Went Went's head talent around him,

714
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: My home's had talent around him. Herbert's throwing to Mike Williams,

715
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Jared Cook has Austin Ekeler behind him, and

716
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: they added Rashawn Slater and Corey Lindsley to the offensive line.

717
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: That's good Oh, actually that's his interesting that Cook is

718
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: a fossil, and I'm still pissed at him from the

719
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: fumble in the But I'm telling you, like you go

720
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: out there, they're like a basketball team. Like you look

721
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: at Mike Williams and and and Keenan Allen and Jared Cook.

722
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: Is like a basketball team out big do Okay, Alright,

723
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: Albert Briers I good stuff, Albert as usual. Hey, congrats
