Way you get in, very very simple, have 23 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: a little thing called an Instagram account at John Middlecoff 24 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff DMS wide open fire on in as 25 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: everyone did today, starting with my man Michael C. Big fan. 26 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: I know we talk a lot about the Patriots, but 27 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback situation is such a big deal and filling 28 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: after Brady's close to impossible agreed with a high draft pick. 29 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: What do we do draft or trade for a veteran? 30 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: Thank you? Well? Obviously the first order of business is 31 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: the coaching situation, right? What they do with Belichick? They 32 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: get rid of Belichick? Do they let him come back 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: for a year? They add on a GM How that 34 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: all works? Then? I think, if it is Bill, will 35 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: he go cutthroat like he has before and get rid 36 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: of Mac Jones? I do think of a new guy 37 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: comes in. Mac Jones is a dead man walking Bailey 38 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: z appy. Maybe you roll it back, let him be 39 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 1: the backup. Maybe not, Maybe you just start from scratch, right, 40 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: and to me, they're gonna draft a quarterback like they're 41 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna be drafting really high, and I think there's gonna 42 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: be a lot of pressure on them drafting a quarterback. Now, 43 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: you could push back and say give it a year, 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: take a deep breath, maybe see if mac Jones can 45 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: play a little bit better football. Use all those high picks, 46 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: because remember when you draft, you know it's hard to 47 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: know how these last couple of weeks will shake out. 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: Let's just say they draft third. If you're the third 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: overall drafting team, you draft third and every round, so 50 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: if you hit on four out of set. I don't 51 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: know exactly how many picks the Patriots have, but let's just, 52 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: you know, for argument's sake, to say they have a 53 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: pick in every round. You hit on four guys and 54 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: two of them are impact guys, another two guys are starters. 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: Like you've improved your team drastically. It's why we're so 56 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: hard on bad teams. You hit great picks in every round. 57 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: So to me, it comes down to do you just 58 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: get rid of mac Jones? Do you trade them for 59 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: a box of balls, or do you roll it back 60 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: for a year. If a new coach take a deep breath, 61 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: see if he's got anything left, you know, with some 62 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: new and improved guys around him. I think this all 63 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: gets back to any conversation. It's like when we talk 64 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: about the draft in late February early March, it's like, well, 65 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: I got to see what you're doing in free agency, 66 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: because what you do in free agency impacts who the draft, Like, 67 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: who should we draft, especially if it's not a quarterback team. Well, 68 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: do you sign a starting right tackle in free agency? 69 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Because if you do, you might not draft to tackle 70 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: if you're drafting seventh overall, and maybe you lean drafting 71 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver or defensive ends. So it's like there's a 72 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: timeline right in order of business in the National Football 73 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: League when you suck first season ends, coaching staff, what 74 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: are we doing if we're blowing out the coaching staff 75 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: bringing in a new guy if it's may Out, if 76 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: it's Jared Mayo, Like, does he like Mac Jones? Does 77 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: he want to get rid of him? If it's not 78 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: him and they bring in someone else, Like to me, 79 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: they are just such major question marks. It's hard to 80 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: jump to like level four when we don't know level 81 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: one yet. And on the most basic level, I would 82 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: say that. You know the thing, no one's ever questioned 83 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: for twenty five years, who's gonna be the coach of 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's always been fucking Belichick. Well, no Moss 85 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: probably we think. I'm a Vikings fan. And what do 86 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: you think we should do about the quarterback position? Kirk 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: not getting any younger and there's clearly no successor on 88 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: the team. Do we keep Kirk short term or do 89 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: we give him a long term contract? To me, this 90 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: always comes down to the money. Like that's like, I 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: think we got to remove our emotion with players when 92 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about it as grown ups and talk about 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: their financial impact on a team. Right, to me, Kirk 94 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: Cousins the way he was playing, the Vikings one hundred 95 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: percent would have been in the playoffs if he had 96 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: stayed healthy, they honestly might have competed for like the 97 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: fifth seed. They would have won eleven games, maybe twelve. 98 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean, hell, they still might win nine. But you 99 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: tear your achilles. You're not a good athlete at thirty 100 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: six years old, Like I can I incentivize a twenty 101 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: million dollar deal? I mean, this guy used to making 102 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: thirty five to forty million dollars can I give you 103 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: would he take a one year ten million guaranteed up 104 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: to thirty million dollars if you're play in all the games? 105 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: But you also got to look at it from the 106 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Viking standpoint, What if he's never the same And even 107 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: if you give a guy ten fifteen million dollars just guaranteed, 108 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: and it backfires in your face. So now, the good 109 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: thing I guess for Cousin's side is they don't really 110 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: have any other options. There were a lot of question 111 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: marks coming into this season their love for that guy. Right, 112 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 1: it did not feel like they were fully on board 113 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: with Cousins, But then he was so good they like 114 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: started singing his praises, at least the head coach the 115 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: moment you terr your achilles though at his age, and 116 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: I know it's never been easier to come back from 117 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: that injury relative to you know, modern medicine, and obviously 118 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, I mean, I guess we'll see in twenty 119 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: twenty four when he actually plays, But it does impact 120 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: the money because let's just say, let's use a hypothetical here, 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had just torn his achilles this year and 122 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be a free agent. How much money would 123 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: someone give him? He'd obviously someone would still take a 124 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: flyer on him. But would you give him one year 125 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: forty million dollars Aaron Rodgers forty years old coming off Achilles. 126 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: Someone probably would, but I would be hesitant to do that, 127 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, similar question going into year. 128 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: This is about Cousins going into age thirty six season 129 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: torn Achilles. If he's not back in Minnesota. If not, 130 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: where's the best fit for him? Well, this is the thing, 131 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: and this is what I think Cousin's going to try 132 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: to do. He clearly has spoken to a lot of 133 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: people on and out the record, does not want to 134 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: leave Minnesota. So if you know Minnesota's kind of desperate 135 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: and they want to keep you, you know you still 136 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: want to get the most money possible. Do you use 137 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: New England Atlanta? To me? Like the Atlanta Falcons would 138 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: have been all over him if Cousins had been healthy 139 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: in Minnesota didn't want them, right, the New England Patriots 140 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: would have to be all over him. If in that situation, 141 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: I do think the injury though throws in a curveball, 142 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: and depending on where all these other teams draft now 143 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: New England's gonna draft so high. Why wouldn't they just 144 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: draft a guy really high? But yeah, I mean I 145 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: think people will be very interested. I just think and listen. 146 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I pride myself on having a pretty good gauge what 147 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: certain guys are worth. I think it's fair to say 148 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: he's a great wild card, like what's Cousin's worth on 149 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: the open market. I fall him on Instagram like a 150 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It looked like he was in 151 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: like Tuloom or you know, somewhere in Mexico, and he 152 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: was on one of those scooters. So it's like, but 153 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: free agency is not that far away. I mean by 154 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: the time New Year's hits. Free agency usually opens up 155 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: around March fifteenth, so you'll be seventy five days away. 156 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: Dude's on a scooter in December. It's not like he's 157 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: going to be running around so he won't be able 158 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: to pass the physical. I think he's one of the 159 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: great curveballs this offseason. I can give you educated speculation 160 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: on a lot of things. When it comes to the NFL, 161 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: you could argue I got no fucking clue. Neither does anybody. 162 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: If you are the Raiders, and Pennix and Daniels are 163 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: there on the board. Who are you taking? Also, how 164 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: do you get a job as an NFL security guy? Well, 165 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: I'll start with Dom Big Dom. When I got hired 166 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: by the Eagles, Dom had just taken over and before 167 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: he was like the number two guy for a guy 168 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: named Butch and Butch. I never met Butch, well I 169 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: did one time he came in the office. One time. 170 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: I think he was former law enforcement. So I would 171 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: imagine now I don't think Dom has a law enforcement background. 172 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: Could be wrong. I love Dom just like anyone that 173 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: ever met him, loves the guy. Dom just knows a 174 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: lot of people and is in tight with the law 175 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: enforcement around Philadelphia. I would imagine if you went around 176 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: the NFL and you did, like I imagine most of 177 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: these guys are on LinkedIn, But if you did the 178 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: equivalent of like, what's their LinkedIn? A lot of guys 179 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, former SWAT, former FBI, former, something like that. 180 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: And because I think you have to have a law 181 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: enforcement background to do that job, right, because you're just 182 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: talking running security for an NFL team. Guys with a 183 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: lot of money, Guys that are public figures, Guys that 184 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: targets in the sense of just just a lot going on. 185 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: So I would imagine that the background and law enforcement 186 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: under some sort of umbrella, right, They're all probably a 187 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: little different locally federally. A lot of them probably have 188 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: a lot of different pelts on the wall for stuff 189 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: like that. And then the Raiders, I listen, I love 190 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: Michael Pennock's the college player. I think when it's all 191 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: said and done, I mean, I'm tempted to put like 192 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: five ten thousand dollars on Washington in the playoff. It'd 193 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: be I'm tempted to make, honestly, the biggest bet I've 194 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: ever made, the biggest bet I've ever made. It's probably 195 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: like twenty five hundred dollars on an individual game, and 196 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: I've only done it. I don't bet insane amount of money, 197 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: but that's why I gotta be careful, because I can 198 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: get a little hitt of myself. I am very, very 199 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: confident that the Washington Huskies are gonna win that game, 200 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: and I'm betting on Kaylin du Borr and I'm betting 201 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: on Michael Penix in that spot. With a month month 202 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: to prepare against Steve Sarkusy, I think they have the 203 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: coaching advantage, and I think the talent you know, is 204 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: relatively equal. But I also I want my quarterback to 205 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: have mobility in the NFL. I just think it's a must. 206 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: I think without mobility in the NFL, with how terrible 207 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: offensive lines are, that it's just you're kind of a 208 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: sitting duck and listen. It's crazy to say because I 209 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: thought Jaden Daniels was averages this day as long about 210 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: eighteen months ago. But he's improved a lot, and young 211 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: guys improve just like men. We mature, you know, some 212 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: of us later than others. So I would say that 213 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels to me, is a better NFL prospect than 214 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Michael Penis. Also, Michael Pennix has torn his acl multiple times, 215 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: so you're talking about a guy who's been in college 216 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: about eight years. Who again, I'm not trying to talk shit. 217 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: I love the guy as a player, but he can't 218 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: move and he's been injured a ton. Philadelphia paid Jalen 219 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: Hurts too early, possibly because of how much the media 220 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: loved him. I don't think the media had any influence 221 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: on the reason they paid him. I think they simply 222 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: paid him because one they fucking love the guy, his 223 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: improvement over a two year span, his mindset, his work ethic, 224 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: the way he is in the building, the way players 225 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: respond to him, everything that he is the opposite of 226 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. So I think the reason they paid him 227 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: was everything they learned in twenty twenty two about the guy, 228 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: and then the game that he finished off played Mahomes 229 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, like he was fucking incredible in 230 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So you have a guy who checks every 231 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: box off the field, who's a really talented player, who 232 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: then plays one of the best games he's ever played 233 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. What are you supposed to do? Yeah, 234 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: we'll run it back. We'll see how this goes. Now, 235 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: hindsight twenty twenty, you got, well, they shouldn't have paid him. Well, 236 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: then he'd be a free agent this year, right, what 237 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: would they do. They wouldn't let him walk. He's got 238 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: to be their quarterback, so they would franchise him. Would 239 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: they extend him now for less money? It's just listen, 240 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: you can come off a bad year, you still get paid. 241 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott shattered his ankle, still got one hundred and 242 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars. So we can argue to we're blue 243 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: in the face about quarterbacks, the right time to pay 244 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: him certain guys, or they overpaid too much money. Whatever, 245 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: It's a complicated situation. Bears fan, I feel like not 246 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: enough people in the media are talking about the red 247 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: flags with Caleb Williams, his height, tendency to hold the ball, 248 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: major hero syndrome, didn't play well against top teams like 249 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. What are your thoughts? Also, what do you 250 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: think about Drake may Also he comes from Lincoln Riley offense, 251 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: and we've seen guys like Baker and Kyler come out 252 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: in struggle. Well, I would say Kyler has been relatively successful. 253 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: By his third year, he had the Arizona Cardinals in 254 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So, and Kyler's a big time talent. Baker 255 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: also led his team to a playoff. Now, those guys 256 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: for the number one overall pick, especially Baker, he's on 257 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: his what third team? Kyler's gonna be on the Cardinals 258 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: for a while. To me, Kyler's a legitimate number one 259 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: overall pick. Clearly baker wrong pick should have been Josh 260 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: Allen to Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I mean, I think the 261 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: NFL is talking about you gotta separate what the media 262 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: talks about most of them don't know people in the league. 263 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean a decent amount of them do, like some 264 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: of your main beat reporters and some of the main 265 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: national guys, but also part of the media, and just 266 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: the job of talking about it is like a hype culture. 267 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: There's not really a hype culture internally in the NFL. 268 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: So all everyone that's gone through USC, every person that 269 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: scattered him, and every GM that's watched him on tape 270 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: are talking about these things, right, I mean a couple 271 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: of years ago, he's writing fuck Utah on his fingernails, 272 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, I just never forget that. Like I 273 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: like Jamis, and I like that he's matured a lot, 274 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: but he was also in a situation with an uber driver, 275 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: like it's hard for me to ever take you that seriously. 276 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: After that, now you can say, guys dramatically improve at 277 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: a certain age. They turn a corner. Okay, and listen 278 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: the Caleb things. Not an end all be all, But yeah, 279 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: he's got red flax. Yeah he's not some all time 280 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: great prospect. I heard that about Marcus Mariota once upon 281 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: a time. He's an all time break. He's a next 282 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: Steve Young, It's like, no, he's not even that accurate, 283 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: not the next fucking Steve Young. So I think, yeah, 284 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think this quarterback class went from early 285 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: in the season looking like him and Drake May is 286 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: about as good of a one to two as you 287 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: can get. Like obviously RG three got hurt, but luck 288 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: RG three like two elite talents like Caleb Williams a 289 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: really talented guy. To me, he's not a lock to 290 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: be a franchise quarterback, just because every quarterback besides Andrew Luck, 291 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, and John Elway are not a locked to 292 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: be a franchise Look at Trevor Lawrence. Heard Lawren's good player. 293 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: It's Trevor Lawrence the start of there for twelve years. 294 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't feel great about it. Things 295 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: change fast in the NFL. Hell, we thought Carson Wentz 296 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: one year is gonna win the MVP. A couple years later, 297 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: it's not even on the fucking team. So Drake May, 298 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: to me, I wanted to love and I liked him 299 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: a lot coming into the season based on everything I 300 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: was hearing, based on watching him a little bit, as 301 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: you know the previous year. Down the stretch, he was terrible. 302 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: He really was. I watched a decent amount of him 303 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: this year, and like I wouldn't stake my career on it, 304 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's not gonna be a good player. Things 305 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: also changed. Justin Herbert was the third quarterback taking in 306 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: his draft. Been listening to you for a few years 307 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: and now really appreciate your honest takes. I won't even 308 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: rip you for your rams preseason. What are your thoughts 309 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: on this? Brock Perty is an MVP candidate, But how 310 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: would he look if Trent Williams was out the year, 311 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: Christian mccaffley played two full games, and Deebo Samuel missed 312 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the year. That's the Packers situation. Well, yeah, 313 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be as good. You know, what do I 314 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: want me to tell you? What if I take Diggs 315 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: and Cook away from Josh Allen? What if I take 316 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: Kelsey away from Patrick Mahomes and we can play that 317 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: on every quarter? What if I took Jerry Rice away 318 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: from Joe Montana, Marvin Harrison away from Peyton Gronk away 319 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: from Tom Like you need good players to look good. 320 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't really know what to say there. He's awesome 321 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: with those guys. How's he gonna look without him one day? 322 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's cross that bridge when we get 323 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: to it. But like we could play Jordan Love for 324 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: the majority of the season hasn't been that good. He 325 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: had a good little three game stretch. I'm fairly new 326 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: to your podcast. I enjoy listening through my workday question 327 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: for you, Bill's Fan, and I was listening to your 328 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni presser on Twitter today. He mentioned on the 329 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: last series, I was listening to the Nick Sirianni pro 330 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: He mentioned on the last series they were throwing the 331 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: ball deep for a pass interference on a spot foul call. 332 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: Spot fouls are one of those calls that you love 333 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: when your team gets one, but despise when it goes 334 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: against your team. Do you think the competition come in? 335 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: He looks into the gating a spot in the final 336 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: two minutes of the game and making it a regular 337 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: fifteen yard foul. Honestly, I would be okay, universal rule, 338 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: just like college fifteen yard penalty. Like you can't get 339 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: eighty yards on a pass interference, it doesn't even feel 340 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: fair sometimes, like you get to a seventy yard bomb 341 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: when the ball wasn't even close to being completed, even 342 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: if it is legitimately past interference with you know, half 343 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: of them feel like a coin flip. I like the 344 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty. That's how I would do it. But 345 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: I can't tell you what the past or the competition 346 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: Committee's gonna do. Who knows. Brock Purty wins the MVP 347 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: and the Super Bowl this year? How far up the 348 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: all time ladder? Does that put him ahead of guys 349 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: like Ben No MVP or Matt Ryan No Ring, Does 350 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: that put him in the top fifteen? No? No, No. 351 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: To be put in a list as an all time player, 352 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: you have to sustain it over a career. In all sports, 353 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: we have Brady Anderson once hit fifty home runs, right, 354 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: but we don't call him an all time great home 355 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: run hitter because like, he didn't do it over and 356 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: over and clearly we know kind of why he did that. 357 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: It's why you could even argue about Barry Bond's like, wow, 358 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: he definitely jews. Well, yeah, he was fucking an all 359 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: time great player before that. The reason we talk in 360 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: such high regards of I'll just talk about the guys 361 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: in my generation, Breeze Manning, obviously, Brady Rogers. They did 362 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: it forever. They were good year in, year out. It's 363 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: why Eli Manning is such a polarizing argument. It's like, well, 364 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: you have the two great playoff runs. He had a 365 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: couple other good seasons, but he had a lot of clunkers. 366 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: Part of being a all time great player is every 367 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: single year, Like, why is Aaron Donald gonna be a 368 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: first bout of Hall of Famer because every fucking season 369 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: that he plays he kicks ass and takes names. Trent 370 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: Williams like, why is he one of the great left tackles? 371 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, because he's been a great left tackle 372 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: now for a decade and a half. Lane Johnson, why 373 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: is he one of the great right tackles of all time? 374 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's been a ten years, you know, 375 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: plus year starter, all Pro all the time, right, I 376 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: mean Jason kelce thirty five years old, still an elite player, 377 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, He's got a decade worth of resume. So 378 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: Brock Purty would have one of the great individual starts 379 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: to a career, but as an overall career, it's not 380 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: even We can't even have a conversation, right, Like Terrell Davis. 381 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: He had one of the great two year runs in 382 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: NFL history. Is he one of the greatest running backs 383 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: of all time? Of course not. It's part of being 384 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: an all time great running back. Barry Sanders ten years, 385 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: ten Pro Bowls, ten All Pros, Emma Smith, all time 386 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: NFL rushing leader, Marshall fallk Ladaanian Thomin's and Adrian Peterson. 387 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: You gotta do it like anyone can have a hit song, 388 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: like do you fucking uh? Metallic has been doing it 389 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: for forty years. Rolling Stones are still torn right there. 390 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of one hit wonders. I'm not 391 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: saying perty is, but I don't even think we can 392 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: begin to talk about his career. Not even possible. Watched 393 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: every episode. I like this guy, long Patriot fan, long 394 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: time Patriot fan, the franchise and shambles. Currently, Bill is 395 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: on his last year, potentially second to last. If they 396 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: let him play out his contract and we have no 397 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: talent on a roster, what do we do in the 398 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: upcoming draft? Knowing Bill, he trades down from life lifetime 399 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: supply of seventh round picks. But I'd prefer see us 400 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: take a receiver like Harrison or a doonsay or O line. 401 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: I get. Our quarterback room is pitiful, but unless we 402 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: magically get first overall and grab Caleb, we might as 403 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: well take skilled positions. That's why I said, depending on 404 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: who the coaches, even if it's Bill, there's no guarantee 405 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: that they don't. Maybe they signed cousins, like one year 406 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars and just draft a bunch of players 407 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: and figured out the following year. I definitely think that 408 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: would be a, you know, a possibility. I don't think 409 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: it's guaranteed that they're taking like Jayden Daniels or Michael Pennox. 410 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: If you were just hired as the Giants GM, how 411 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: would you turn the franchise back into a blue blood franchise. 412 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: What's your next move? Well, your quarterback situation is a 413 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: problem right. Clearly, you paid Daniel Jones all this money 414 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: he was averaged to begin with, and now he's injured. 415 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: So that situation, what do you do? Right? The owner's 416 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: not gonna let you cut them. You're gonna have to 417 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: start them next year. The veto clearly is not the answer. 418 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: One thing I'd have to figure out is a lot 419 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: of people in Giants Land got mad at me. I 420 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: just reiterated hearing things like I'm not a reporter, I'm 421 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: not a big j I just know a lot of 422 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: people didn't know a lot of things, and I pick 423 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: and choose when I talk about it. And listen, Jay 424 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: Glazer had brought up Wink Martindale and Brian Dable. It's 425 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: the longest you know, running secret when he said that 426 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: is the dysfunction inside the Giants' coaching staff. So I, 427 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: first and foremost, I got to figure out the Brian 428 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: Daball coaching staff situation. I was told by a couple 429 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: of people, get ready for a max exodus if these 430 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: guys can get out of some contracts to leave that building. 431 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking assistant coaches. So, like, listen, Brian Dable had 432 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: a pretty good year last year Coach of the Year. 433 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: I was voting for him. This year was an embarrassment, 434 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: it really was. It was a fucking joke. I mean, 435 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: they were getting their ass kicked early in the season, 436 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: like the season was over before it even started. So 437 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: this notion that, like I just said it with Brock Perdy, 438 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: part of being a good coach is every single year, 439 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: like Sean McVay year whatever, seven or eight, no talent 440 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoffs, Like, that's a good year. 441 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: I think we all agree Sean mcvay's good every single year. 442 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: One bad year, Well, okay, a outlar like for Brian 443 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: da bol Was this that you're an outlier? Or is 444 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: this like is he actually pretty average? I don't know. 445 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: Wanted to get your take on a topic I thought 446 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: would have been a massive this season. What do the 447 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins do with Tua? They haven't extended him yet, which 448 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: makes me wonder whether they are truly committed to him. 449 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: As McDaniels likes to say. Personally, I am not blown 450 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: away by Tua, but his results lately have been pretty good. Well, 451 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: they couldn't extend him, you know, under no circumstances could 452 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: you extend Tua going into this season. He had to 453 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: prove that he could play, and he's done that. He's 454 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: been good. But I think these next this next month, 455 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: this week against the Cowboys, next week against the Ravens, 456 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: falling against the Bills in the playoffs, I think you're 457 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: gonna feel good, like, am I gonna get this guy 458 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars? Or are we just 459 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna run it? Back and try to figure it out. 460 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: And I think Tua, you could argue, no player in 461 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, obviously given an injury or whatever, 462 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: just with his play has more money on the line 463 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: over the next let's say twenty eight days, potentially you know, 464 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: thirty if they win a couple playoff games, because he 465 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: could make a boatload. Remember that one time Joe Flacco, 466 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm gonna earn my money and won the 467 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and they're like, well shit, if to a 468 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: ball's out they win the division, he takes down the 469 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Bills in that final game for the division, he wins 470 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: a playoff game or two, and they're like, in or 471 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: AFC championship game, that contract Jalen Hurts Scott two is 472 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna get it? Crazy? Is that would sounded at the 473 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. It's a result oriented business. Been 474 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: watching the pod and big time Lions fan wondering what 475 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: you think they should do with golf in the future, 476 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: and how does the team look if he continues to 477 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback. Well, clearly their offensive coordinator is 478 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: gonna get highed this offseason. So for the first time 479 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: since Goff has now been you know, with the Rams 480 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: and having success these last couple of years. He's gonna 481 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: have a new guy calling the place and whether Dan Campbell, 482 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: you know, takes back over the play calling, whether they 483 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: hire someone from outside, whether they have a new up 484 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: and coming guy that is the next Ben Johnson. But 485 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty big question mark. But I 486 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be the quarterback for a while. And 487 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: I think what they got to ask themselves, like, are 488 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: they gonna extend him this offseason? Would they give him, like, 489 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, a three year, ninety million dollar extension. Would 490 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: he take that three years, one hundred million guarantee him 491 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: seventy eighty million dollars or is he thinking another enormous 492 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: deal like he got years ago? Uh? Because I don't 493 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: think I could do that, But I could give him. 494 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: Remember what Cousins got that lucrative extension a couple of 495 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: years ago in Minnesota. It was more shorter term. If 496 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: I was the Lions, I would have to do that. 497 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: Is he perfect? Of course not? Would you love to upgrade? 498 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: Of course you would. How are you gonna do that? 499 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: Maybe Hendon Hooker becomes a guy hard to tell. He's 500 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: coming off an ACL injury. I think he just started practicing, 501 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: but it gives you some leeway. Ideally you just give 502 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: him like the Daniel Jones contract. But how is deery 503 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: GoF gonna sign the Daniel Jones contract. A lot of 504 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: your listeners ask you about Nick Right, brock Purty take. 505 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: I just want to clarify that Nick actually says Brock 506 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: Purty is good, but gets way too much credit, especially 507 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: in putting him in the MVP conversation. Jimmy g did 508 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: similar things, even if you don't think it's at the 509 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: level of Purty, and was never in the NFL MVP conversation. 510 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 1: Let's stop right there. Jimmy had one year where he 511 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: was somewhat similar to Purty in twenty nineteen, and Purty 512 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: is dramatically better than Jimmy was that year, and that 513 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: was by far Jimmy's outlier year. The last two years 514 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo, he was averaged a the day as 515 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: long could not hold Perty's jock. So when I say 516 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: that you know Nick Wright, I'm just saying these guys 517 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: never gave him any credit from the beginning. He was 518 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: the entire time, just like he was good last year, 519 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: and it was easy to take that stance. But he's 520 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: always been good. The moment brock Purty started playing, he 521 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: was fucking good. And he's even better this year, and 522 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: he's dramatically. I've watched every snap the forty nine ers 523 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: have had under Kyle Shanahan. Rock Purty doesn't have much 524 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: in common with Jimmy Garoppola, even his win loss record, 525 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: Like Purty doesn't lose. I mean, he's just he's just 526 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: a way better player. Also, I'd say Tua and Purdy 527 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: are doing relatively the same thing, but Tyreek gets MVP talk. 528 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: I would say that Purdy is relatively even better than Tua. 529 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: Tua can't move too, is terrible against pressure. Right, Tua 530 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: gets rid of the ball faster than anyone in the NFL. 531 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: He asked to because he can't move. He's sitting duck. 532 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: You know, Purdy, I think it's like tenth or ninth 533 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: in that category of getting rid of the football. So 534 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: I actually don't think Purdy and Tua have much in 535 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: common beside being short. And I would say somewhat, you know, 536 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: not great NFL arms, But I would disagree with that 537 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: party into a do the same thing. Watch pretty play athletically, 538 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: he's a different animal. He makes a ton of plays 539 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: on the move that result in touchdowns. Tua cannot do that. 540 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: He who is Jared Goff. He's a short and left handed. 541 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm a big Eels fan and have noticed this year 542 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: that the team has not had a dominant of a 543 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: running game with what seems to do a lot more 544 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: of plays getting blown up in the backfield. Could be 545 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things, but is it possible that running 546 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: the ball exclusively out of the shotgun is becoming predictable 547 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: on the timing ability for linemen to get downfield. Also, 548 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: why do you think the coach is refusing to activate 549 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: with shod Penny, line up under center and play more 550 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: north than south? Would it be too late in the 551 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: year to make a change like that, Well, your quarterback 552 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: likes the gun. Your quarterback succeeds in the shotgun. So 553 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: to me, the offense dramatically changed under Stichen to create 554 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: what Jalen was good at at Oklahoma, and that is 555 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: a spread gun formations. Now I don't have all the stats, 556 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: it obviously goes under center for the tushbush, but when 557 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: you look at the forty nine ers for example, or 558 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: you know what Matt Stafford can do with McVeigh. I 559 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: know they go a lot of shotgun because they passed 560 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: the ball a lot. But when Lafleur got to Aaron Rodgers, 561 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: the run game, the zone running game when you were 562 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: under center allows you a million different looks and it 563 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: has proven the floor with Rogers, Kyle with the forty 564 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: nine Ers, you know some of Pete's heyday in Seattle 565 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: with Marshawn. Gun runs have limitations. Your quarterback better be 566 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: able to fucking slice and dice you because if that 567 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: run is getting stuffed. Peyton Manning loved the shotgun. Well, 568 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: he get a viscerat you. Aaron Rodgers loved the shotgun. 569 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: It's why him and Lafloor were like when Kyle Shanahan 570 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: got to Atlanta, Matt Ryan didn't feel comfortable. He didn't 571 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: he wanted the shotgun gun stuff more than under center 572 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,719 Speaker 1: turning his back to the defense on the play action stuff. 573 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: But you got to be able to do that for 574 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, because it looks like the run game, and 575 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: the run game is much more successful in my opinion, 576 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: always when you're under center, and I like shotgun, I 577 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: like spreading it out and throwing the ball. But I'm 578 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: with you, you are going to have some limitations on 579 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: the physicality of your run game in the shotgun because 580 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: just think about it, you're handing him the ball off 581 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: instead of handing him the ball off with a running start. Right, 582 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: I would rather do outside zone with my quarterback under center, 583 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: running out with the with the running back getting a 584 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: full speed kind of run down the line than being 585 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: a stagnant start. And I don't pretend to be some 586 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: x's nose guy, but I listen. I've watched Kyle Shanahan 587 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: and Jim Harball, who are great run game guys, and 588 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: their run game historically has been predicated under center. Collegiately, 589 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: it succeeds because you have better players in the NFL, 590 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: Like you said, it was Chim Kelly's downfall. His run 591 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: game ultimately became so soft it like he could ever 592 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: beat physical teams. We knew it was coming. And the 593 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: thing with the Eagles, you guys have a fucking great 594 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: offensive line, but he gets back to the quarterback. He's 595 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: comfortable in the shotgun, and which I don't mind, but 596 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: it takes away in other areas. What does Josh Allen 597 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: need to do to get in the MVP race is 598 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: he the most valuable player in the league. If he 599 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: was to go down for an extended period of time, 600 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: would Buffalo go back to the EJ manual days. He 601 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: has a TD turnover ratio of two hundred and thirteen 602 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: ninety seven as of twelve twenty one, twenty three. Is 603 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,239 Speaker 1: both an elite passer and runner and raise. Yeah. I mean, 604 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: I think I'd argue right now he's the best quarterback 605 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And listen, it's not like I'm just 606 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: trying to diminish Patrick Mahons. I would have Josh Allen 607 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: one A and him one B just as pure talents 608 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: the way Josh is playing this year. But I think 609 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: if they go on to run win these next three 610 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: games and win the division in their eleven and six 611 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: and he throws eleven twelve touchdowns these last three games 612 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: and specifically beats Miami Sunday Night Football to get in, 613 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: I think he'd have a very, very good shot. Because 614 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: at one point in time we were talking about the Bills. 615 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: It felt like the discussion around the Bills they were 616 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: gonna go seven to ten. They might go eleven and six. 617 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 1: I mean, they play the Chargers this week and then 618 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: they play the Patriots, that Dolphins game man, can't wait 619 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: for that thing. I agree with almost all of your takes. 620 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: I like this guy. Do you think Kirby Smart, given 621 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: an NFL opportunity, would take a coaching job in the league? 622 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,239 Speaker 1: I saw someone today who was it. Someone asked one 623 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: of the college guys if he thought Kirby Smart could 624 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: be interested in the Atlanta Falcons. And you know, I 625 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: think Kirby one year was with Nick Saban in Miami, 626 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: so he's worked in the NFL before a short stint. Obviously, 627 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: he runs an NFL level program, just like Alabama or 628 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: Jim Harbob and Michigan. I'd say Ryan Day, but I 629 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: would not hire Ryan Day as my NFL head coach, 630 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: even though this year was a much better year than 631 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: the previous two when it comes to defensively, but I 632 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: think he just has Chip Kelly soft roots. I would 633 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: say this about Kirby. One of his defining attributes right now, 634 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: he just had, according to recruiting rankings, the number one class. 635 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: He is an elite recruiter. Now he's also at a 636 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: program you know that cuts massive fucking checks and has 637 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: paid a lot of money. I mean, part of the 638 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: reason the SEC teams in Ohio State are usually always 639 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: near the top of Miami too. It's like money. This 640 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: isn't just Rico swab on the phone. Obviously, they can 641 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: promise you to the NFL and all this other stuff. 642 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: But let's not kidder, let's not be naive. It's the 643 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: almighty dollar. I saw Lane Kiffin signed the number one 644 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: junior college wide receiver. Dude pulled up in a Lamborghini. 645 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: So I'm glad that the cat. We don't even need 646 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: to pretend no more disengenu with j billis like the 647 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: kids can't eat pan of butter sandwiches. It's like now 648 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: they've been paid brown bag since like the sixties and seventies. 649 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: Now it's just the cats out of the bag. We 650 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: don't even need to fake it. But I think that 651 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: Kirby's got a pretty special thing going. He makes huge cash. 652 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: I think he has a chance to go down as 653 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: like a Saban level all time great. He's already got 654 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: two titles. He's gonna be there every single year. His 655 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: quarterback's coming back. His team's absolutely loaded recruiting. He dominates 656 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive lines. If you're gonna dominate in 657 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: those two spots. You're gonna just be really good. George's 658 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: always got skill guys corners, wide receivers, running backs, tighten 659 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: they will they land those guys in their sleep if 660 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: they're getting the lineman. Like, that's really what separated Bama 661 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 1: in the beginning of Sabans run. It was odd lines 662 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 1: and that's you know, for the most part, he's star 663 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: players in those positions. And now that's Kirby. So I 664 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: think he's got a pretty good thing going. But you 665 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: never know, maybe maybe you're tired of all the recruiting stuff, 666 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: which I don't think he is. I think he likes it. 667 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: I think he's clearly pretty good at it. Like, do 668 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: what you're good at, right, That's why I talk for 669 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: a living. It's like one of the rare things I 670 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: can do. Like Kirby, you don't recruit in the NFL. 671 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: You scheme all night, all day, all season. You scheme, 672 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: you scheme, you scheme your cap guys, figure out who 673 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: you can pay, who you can't, and then you sign 674 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: guys in free agency and draft whoever lands in your spot. 675 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as recruiting none, it doesn't exist. 676 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: It's irrelevant. Right, you want to get a coach. Can 677 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: you pay him more? Because if you can, he's not coming. 678 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: The other thing is, like in Georgia, he can steal 679 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: he needs an offensive coordinator. Well, who's the best offensive 680 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: coordinator in the country. Oh, Notre Dame's guy or UCLA's guy. Well, 681 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay that guy. That's not how the NFL works. 682 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: Like ROC is not good enough. Let's go get the 683 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: Lions guy. Yeah, he's under contract. You can't. You don't 684 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: have access to him. So I think he's ideal for 685 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: his business. He's mastered it. And sometimes when things are 686 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: that good, keep it rolling. To me the moment you leave, 687 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: if you're if your curb is if you ever get popped, 688 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: which I don't even what are the rules? How are 689 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: there any rules? Now feels like they're all gone. I 690 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 1: can't get some feedback. Number one, you turn me onto golf, 691 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: and thank you for that. I just want to hear 692 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: some thoughts on Tiger Woods. And number two for my 693 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: football question. I'm a Charger fan season ticket holder and 694 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: from San Diego. I understand there are three to four 695 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: times the amount of people in LA before they left. 696 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: I listened to the radio religiously and objectively that I 697 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: understand that the Spanos wanted to take the team to 698 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: La to raise the value and hopefully sell by twenty 699 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: twenty four since they started playing it so far. I 700 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: understand they have a twenty year contract with marketing deals 701 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: and all the other stuff. But if they did ever 702 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: come back to San Diego, or another NFL team would 703 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: come back to San Diego, do you believe the NFL 704 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: could flourish here. The NFL's never come back to San Diego. 705 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: The amount of teams in California will never change. Obviously, 706 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are gonna be the only team 707 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, and you have two teams in 708 00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. That's it. Oakland's never getting any team ever again. 709 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: And listen, San Diego is one of the great American cities, 710 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: truly is. It's just special. Plays know a lot of 711 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: people that live down there and always jealous. When my 712 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: girlfriend's best friend lives down there, her husband Grant like 713 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: surfs always at the beach, Like shit, I'm jealous, Like hell, 714 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: don't when I live in northern California, our beaches don't 715 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: look like they're beaches. It's the best, but you're just 716 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: not getting an NFL team, and the Chargers are never 717 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: coming back, and I don't think they're gonna sell. I mean, 718 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,479 Speaker 1: he's currently getting sued by his sister, so I would 719 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: doubt that. Been a big forty nine er fan my 720 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: whole life. How important do you think the Super Bowl 721 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: win for Kyle Shanahan is this year? Given that he 722 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: does not have a great track record in the playoffs, 723 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: never winning the Big One? Also, do you think twenty 724 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: eight to three Super Bowl still haunts him? I would 725 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 1: say his track record in the playoffs is pretty good. 726 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: They won two games last year, they won two games 727 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: the year before, and in twenty nineteen they went two games. 728 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: He has six playoff wins as the forty nine er coach. 729 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: Six Like that's he's been a pretty good playoff coach. 730 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: And two years ago in twenty twenty one, upset Dallas, 731 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: upset the Packers in Green Bay, which is I would 732 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,760 Speaker 1: say Aaron Rodgers worst loss of his career. Worse than Tampa, 733 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: worse than Seattle. They were like a seven point favorite 734 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: at home. That team should have won the Super Bowl. 735 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: They lost, So I would say he's been successful now 736 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: the Big One. He was not the head coach of 737 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: twenty eight to three. I've never seen a guy and 738 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm not defending Kyle here, but in any situation in 739 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: the history of sports, no assistant coach has ever taken 740 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: the blame up the headman in a championship setting like 741 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. It'd be like Phil Mickelson hitting the ball 742 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: out of bounds at wing foot in the US Open, 743 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: lose the US Open on the eighteenth toll, and we 744 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: all blamed the caddy. The caddy might have handed him 745 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: the club. Ultimately it's Phil Micholson. A moment, Dan Quinn 746 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: could have gone on the headset and said, Kyle, run 747 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: the ball. Kyle's job is just to score points. Now 748 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: you could say, hey, he's got to know better and listen, 749 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: his record is kind of weird. Never won a game 750 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 1: down seven in the fourth quarter with the forty nine ers. 751 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: That's wild. That's that's pretty wild. I do think it's 752 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl or bust, period, point blank in a story. Obviously, 753 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: if they have a pretty injury like last year, that 754 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: goes out the window. But and maybe not even I 755 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: mean Sam Darnold, could they win games with him? But 756 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: as we sit here today Thursday, December twenty first, middle 757 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: of the day. If they If the forty nine Ers 758 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: do not win the Super Bowl, it's a disaster. It 759 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: really is, like, it's not gonna get any easier when 760 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: you look at the landscape of the league. His team's 761 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: not gonna get any better. He's got all these great 762 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: players in their primes, Quarterbacks balling, he's balling as a 763 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: play caller. It's it's now or never, it really is. 764 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: He wins this, maybe they go like back to back, 765 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: he lose this, Maybe he's never gonna win it. I mean, 766 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: that's that would be my take. Forty nine Ers win 767 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: this year, they might win it again next year. They 768 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: lose it this year. Fuck just maybe Kyles Shiana's never 769 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,479 Speaker 1: gonna win Super Bowl. Maybe the only Shanahan's Super Bowls 770 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: would be the Father. So yeah, I think this year 771 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: is pretty big. Are the Chiefs becoming undervalue? Let's assume 772 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City plays at Baltimore to determine the representative to 773 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: the AFC of the AFC. If this scenario takes place, 774 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: not only do I think the Vegas would favor the Chiefs, 775 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: but I'm confident the Chiefs would win. My take on 776 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: why the Ravens are so highly perceived right now is 777 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: because the Bengals are derailed due to injury and the 778 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: Bills have to have to be fortunate fortunate just to 779 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. If both of these teams were having 780 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: awesome years like expected, the Ravens would be viewed would 781 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: not be viewed so highly. Casey has the advantage at coach, 782 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: at quarterback, and at this point maybe even weapons. I 783 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: don't know if I'd go that far, but I think 784 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: the game would be like a pick'em. If the game's 785 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, that that would mean Baltimore's played really well. 786 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: I think this this Monday Night's big? Is Baltimore real? 787 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: Can they go in and go tot totoe with the 788 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: forty nine ers? Can they beat the forty nine ers? 789 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: Because they were to beat the forty nine ers then like, yeah, 790 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: they're they're fucking good. Beat the forty nine ers on 791 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: the road Monday night football Christmas Day. They lose by ten. Though, Yeah, 792 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent with you the Chiefs. I'm not 793 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: gonna feel good. I don't necessarily think the Chiefs are 794 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: gonna make the Super Bowl. You won't find me putting 795 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: my money against the Chiefs in a playoff game. Will 796 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: not do it? Nope, no chance, none. And listen, if 797 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were like a two or three point underdog 798 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: on the road in the AFC Championship against the Ravens, 799 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: you could argue it's one of the great values in 800 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: the history of league. Mahomes Andandy Reid. Let's face it, 801 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I mean I've heard you probably heard all 802 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: the stats. By now, his passer rating and everything in 803 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs has not been good. Now, I do think 804 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: he's a different guy this year than he's been in 805 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 1: the past. We still got to do it. You still 806 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: got to do it, like we all can improve. But eventually, 807 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: when the lights come on, can you result or into 808 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: business and Monday night fascinating to watch what he looks like. Now, 809 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: let's running quarterbacks mobile Kyler Murray always gives a nine 810 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: in trouble. Actually a pretty good matchup if your guy 811 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: can move. So I think Lamar Jackson could have success 812 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: on Monday Night. But if he doesn't and the team doesn't, 813 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: then yeah, I think we will look at the Ravens. 814 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: I think the way we kind of annoint or feel 815 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: confidently about Baltimore going into the playoffs, we'll have a 816 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: lot to do with the next two weeks. Forty nine 817 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 1: Ers Dolphins. See how it looks. The volume
