So this 23 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: is going to be a mail bag question only at 24 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms, get 25 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: your question answered here on the show. It's Friday, early 26 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: on in the morning. I was like, I was banging 27 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: out now. I just went for a walk ran into 28 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: a guy wearing a Bills hat here in Scottsdale. I 29 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: just I gave him therapy for about ten minutes. We 30 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: started bs and he just talked me through it. He's 31 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: a season ticket holder and he was at the game. 32 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: I was like, got it look cold. He's like, yeah, 33 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't even that bad. You know, you're from the Northeast. 34 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: You just unfazed by freezing weather. But he was. He 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: was in a good spot relatively, uh speaking. I would say, 36 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: obviously likes his quarterback. Didn't love some play calls. But 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: it's tough. Man. When you're a fan of a team 38 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: that just is really good but gets really really close 39 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: and you have a star player, it's I could feel 40 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: it I could feel it on him, but he wore 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: that hat with pride. So it's the American pastime. When 42 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: whenever I see someone wearing some NFL gear or even 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: college gear, walk by another guy with Michigan just talk talkball, 44 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: it's it binds us. So I don't know why I 45 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: just went on that rant, but let's let's dive into 46 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: the mailbag. You listen on Collins feed, make sure you 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: subscribe two, three and out. We have a YouTube channel 48 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: as well.

We have merged the Volume dot com. 51 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: I just saw on Schefter's feed that the Green Bay 52 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: Packers are interviewing Brandon Staley. Either the Packers, the Dolphins, 53 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: or the Rams. Someone's gonna end up with Brandon Staley 54 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: and their fan base is not gonna be happy. Before 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: I dive into a couple dms, you guys know the 56 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Drill official ticketing app of this podcast. Game time.

I heard that 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift has a world tour I think in Asia 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: around the Super Bowl, So you know if the Chiefs 61 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: were to win, who knows what she would do. I 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: would imagine she would find a way to be at 63 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: that game. I think it's guaranteed she'd be at that game. 64 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of the elephant in the room. Do does 65 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: the NFL want Taylor Swift or are they gonna like rig 66 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: it for the Chiefs? You might have to because they 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes. But you guys know the deal.

Anyways, 74 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm a Bears fan. I think it's a lock. We 75 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: take Caleb with the first pick, but our second pick 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: in the first round. I could see us trading. Do 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: you think we'd get enough value to be worth it 78 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: if we keep who would we draft? Well, here'd be 79 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: my take, because I'm in agreement. You are going to 80 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: trade Justin Fields and draft Caleb Williams with the number 81 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: one overall pick. You have the ninth pick, right, That's 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: that's where you pick in the draft, unless that's I 83 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: haven't looked in a week or two, but that's in 84 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: my mind's the ninth pick. So if you have that 85 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: pick and several quarterbacks are going to be taken after Caleb, 86 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders are going to take a quarterback. The 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, I think it's fair to say, are 88 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: more than likely, like ninety five going to take a quarterback. 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: So starting at pick four, a position player hasn't even 90 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: been taken. I also think it's fair to assume that 91 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: some other team will trade into the top ten in 92 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: draft a guy, So there is a chance that one 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: of the top five position players on your board, non quarterback, 94 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: you get as well. If I told any team going 95 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: into a draft before you even knew picks, you're gonna 96 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: get the number one quarterback or the quarterback you want. 97 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, maybe they take Drake Mac the 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: quarterback you want. In a top five position player in 99 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: a good draft like this is a very talented draft. Receivers, 100 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: you guys could use one with Dj Moore. Defensive players, corners, 101 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: a tight end, I guess you got Comet, but why 102 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: couldn't you have two? I think that I would just 103 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: keep in take the sweetest player on my board, an 104 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: offensive defense, you know, a great defensive lineman, just a 105 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: great defensive player. I don't think you can ever go 106 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: wrong that way. Always love your show. I like this 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: guy already. Question statement would you take as a quarterback 108 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: in the draft? Who would you take after Caleb? I'm 109 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: a Patriot fan, and I see the back and forth 110 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: takes on May and Jayden Daniels constantly looks like May 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: is the second off the board, so likely not a 112 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: chance to get him, but if there was a choice, 113 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm curious on your scouting perspective. Well, I had texted 114 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people about Drake May as the buzz 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: grow throughout the season, and there was a stretch of 116 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: like three games. The first one I watched was on 117 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: the CW. They might have been playing North Carolina State. 118 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: They lost. They had been undefeated at the time, and 119 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: I thought he did not look good. And then I 120 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: watched him the next couple weeks and I just wasn't 121 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: that impressed. Now, part of evaluating a guy in the 122 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: draft is also factoring in physical skill set, intangibles, like 123 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: sometimes coaches are idiots in college. Right if you just 124 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: valued production and how sweet you were in college, Josh 125 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: Allen never would have been the seventh overall pick right now, 126 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: some guys, I think we overthink it, Lamar Jackson, even 127 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, right, But to me, I didn't watch enough 128 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: LSU football, And I'm biased because when I watched Jayden 129 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: Daniels at LSU and even watched him last year, I 130 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: was like, I don't see it. I don't see it. 131 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: But I'm not ignorant, naive, like stubborn enough to acknowledge 132 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: like I've done that with other quarterbacks in the past, 133 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: especially athletic guys. Jalen Hurts. Now, he didn't have a 134 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: great season this year, but he's still a solid player 135 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: relative to the rest of the league. So I think 136 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: you just got to I'm just gonna have to peek 137 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: out a little more of him. At LSU, I just 138 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: didn't watch him enough. Once they you know, lost a 139 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: couple of games, once they lost Old Miss and they 140 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: were out of it, I just kind of stopped paying 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: attention to him. And I know he was putting up 142 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: great stats, but I don't have a great like take 143 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: on him, though, I think it's pretty clear successful athletic 144 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who can throw and run at a really high level, 145 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: which he did, you know, you gotta be very careful 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: to kind of bet against them. And he you know, 147 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: he was a better college player than say Jalen Hurts 148 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: right now, he was a late bloomer, right, he didn't 149 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: pop immediately. Transferring doesn't bother me anymore. Everyone transfers. But 150 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: one issue I had just he does look very thin. 151 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: He just looks thin, and I think it's very hard 152 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: to be a skinny guy. Now, I don't want to 153 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: see how tall he is, how much he weighs. I 154 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: do value like part of what Caleb brings the table. 155 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: He's a thick, thick physical presence. I mean, I would 156 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: guess he weighs two hundred twenty pounds. Drake May's big, right, 157 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: Think of some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, 158 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: they're big, like even Mahomes. He's thick. So that would 159 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: be uh, that would be my original take that I 160 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: just didn't watch much LSU football. Do you expect Kellen 161 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: Moore to remain as the OC for the Chargers? As 162 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh as the new head coach. I do not. 163 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: I do not at all. I think Jim Harbaugh's proven 164 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh several years ago when it was rocky at Michigan. Again, 165 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: rocky at Michigan relative to the rest of the country 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: is going well. But for Michigan, when you're a top 167 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: five to six program, the standards are really high. Like 168 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Kaylin Dubor is not allowed to go nine and three, 169 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: nine and three, Brian Kelly goes nine and three. Again, 170 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: they got problems right at Michigan. It's you're expected ten 171 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: wins minimum and beating Ohiose State, and he wasn't doing 172 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: it at the time. The ten wins. He was winning 173 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: double digit game sometimes, but he wasn't beating Ohio State. 174 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: And he went to the spread offense. Josh Gattis who 175 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: I think was the wide receiver coach at Alabama, and 176 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: he brought him and it just he didn't like it 177 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: and philosophically it wasn't his style. Like, let's face it, 178 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: whatever you do in any business, you have especially the 179 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: older you get right, like when you're young, you're kind 180 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: of shaping your views and learning and like taking what 181 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: different mentors or people you look up to and kind 182 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: of molding it in your own way to view football. 183 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: And once you hit a certain point, like you have 184 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: some non negotiables, but whenever you're failing, like you're like, Okay, 185 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: I got to look in the mirror. I gotta try 186 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: some different things. He tried it, and he hated it, 187 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: and he went immediately back. Sharon Moore, who's an offensive 188 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: line coach, like that's his style. Think about his offensive 189 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: coordinators that he's had success with. David Shaw Old School, 190 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: run the ball, physical football, Greg Roman, Old School, run 191 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: the ball, physical football, Sharon Moore, Old School, run the ball, 192 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: physical football. Kellen Moore's Boise State spread it out, trick plays. 193 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: It's not really Jim's cup of tea, so I would expect. 194 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know who his OC is gonna be, but 195 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: I would be floored if Kellen Moore's the OC. I 196 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: think he's gone. From a scout's point of view, Why 197 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: do you think the legend and mystique around guys like 198 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, JaMarcus Russell, and Trey Lance Bills so much 199 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: when it's clear it hasn't worked out, the player didn't 200 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: pick himself. Gms can't see the future and the coach, 201 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: I imagine needs to pivot as soon as possible to win. 202 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: It seems like once they leave, everyone suddenly gained some 203 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: common sense and stops talking about them. Is it just 204 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: the media gravy train, Well, the heype machine's real around 205 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: draft time, it just is. JaMarcus Russell and Josh rosen 206 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: played at big programs like JaMarcus Russell's playing at LSU. 207 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen was a three year starter at UCLA, so 208 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: they had tangible skills, right. JaMarcus was big. I mean, 209 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: he was a decent athlete, obviously enormous arm. Josh Rosen 210 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: six ' four, prototypical pocket quarterback, like a better arm 211 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I think that's what people thought. Trey Lance 212 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: was a COVID fugazi. That's what that was. It was 213 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: a COVID fugazzi, and a team was desperate to draft 214 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: a guy. Now, one thing he was that the other guys, 215 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, the other guy's had some question marks. Trey 216 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Lance's character, intelligence, all that stuff was really good. So 217 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: sometimes you can overlook like, God, he played a small 218 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: school got he only is a one year starter. God, 219 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: who the hell did he play to? Like, oh, we 220 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: love all the intangibles. Well, ultimately, this is a production 221 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: based business and you got to be able to play. Now, 222 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: one thing pretty clear. Josh Rosen was traded in a 223 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: year because they could get Kyler Murray, who's obviously way 224 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: better Trey Lance. They kind of gave him a little 225 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: time and he's just not good enough. Like they get 226 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: Sam Donald in there, and they're like, clearly, Sam Donald's 227 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: way better player, and listen, we can argue till we're 228 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: blue in the face. Sam Donald good or not, he's 229 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: better than Trey Lance. And they were immediately validated because 230 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: they traded him and he is a third string quarterback. 231 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: Think about that. Doe was drafted number three overall, traded 232 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: three first round picks. He didn't even make it to 233 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: the team year three, week one, and he's on another 234 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: team with a hat on. Technically dresses out because of 235 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: the new rules. But JaMarcus obviously just had you know, 236 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: he was lazy and had drug issues. So I think 237 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. But every 238 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: human being like that. These are not businesses, right, These 239 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: are not widgets. These are people, and every person's wired 240 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: a little different. We're all one of one's so every 241 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, Trey Lance just doesn't have any touch. Here's 242 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: the other problem with Trey Lance. He's an average athlete. 243 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: Like part of the reason they drafted him. They thought 244 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: he was this dual threat, like a Josh Allen. He's 245 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: not even close. Party's places faster, right, JaMarcus didn't even 246 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: try Rosen. It just turns out not good. We're drafting 247 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: human beings. This is very, very difficult. It's so easy 248 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: to say after the fact. Well, of course, look at 249 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: that draft. It was built as like this great quarterback draft. 250 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence Balky just said the other day, Yeah, we're 251 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: gonna have a heart to heart with him, basically like 252 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: we ain't paying in this offseason. Zach Wilson, all time bust. 253 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: Trey Lance didn't even make the team the third year, 254 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is about to get traded, and Mac Jones 255 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: just isn't any good. So it's this is difficult. Then 256 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: think of all the people that drafted him, Right, some 257 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: of these teams were pretty good. I guess not really, 258 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: but beside the Niners, I'm a Bears fan and I'm 259 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: wondering what you think of Waldron Higher as an OC 260 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: do you think part of the reason they brought someone 261 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: like him, someone with the OC experience from the McVeigh tree, 262 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: is to be come the head coach if Eberflus fails. 263 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's that deep. I just think 264 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: that this offense now is proven that it is quarterback friendly. Right, 265 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: It's easier to find offensive linemen in the zone running scheme. 266 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: Once you know the zone running scheme, It's easy to 267 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: call run plays when you know what you're doing. From Mi, 268 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Lafleur, McVeigh, Mike McDaniels like it's inner, you know, 269 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: ingrained into their mind to call run plays and they're 270 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: natural at it. And then from there a lot of 271 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: the play action passes are viewed relative to NFL as 272 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: layup throws. Someone told me a while ago when they 273 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: interviewed Sala and he was bringing Lafleur, who ended up failing. 274 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: Part a big reason he failed was because Zach Wilson 275 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: was the logic behind it was, this is how they 276 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: sell the offense. We want to run the ball. Let's 277 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: say there are let's say there are let's pick a number, 278 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: sixty plays in a game. We have sixty offensive plays. 279 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: We want thirty to thirty five of those to be runs, 280 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: and we want twenty five of those to be passes. 281 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: And of those twenty five passes, hopefully ten to fifteen 282 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: are schemed through the play action, you know, out of 283 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: the half to start the game that are relatively easy, 284 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna need the quarterback to make especially 285 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: once we build up a team and more competitive. When 286 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: we're shitty, obviously this goes out the window. But like 287 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: once we get we have a team that can compete 288 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: for you know, double digit wins, we're only asking him 289 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: to make tennis throws like that. That's the logic behind 290 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: the offense. So it's very quarterback friendly. I just think 291 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: it's that simple. So whether you've got Caleb Williams or 292 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: whether you got me or you, it's just it works 293 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: like it works, and you can do so much stuff 294 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: off the offense, right, It's not just this is the 295 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: only thing we do. You can window dressing. Who'd I 296 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: hear to say this the other day? Who was talking 297 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: about this? I forget the defensive coach. Maybe a player 298 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: is you can run the same like Kyle oh Schleareth. 299 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: He's like I was doing one of Kyle's games, and 300 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: he literally ran the same like outside zone play with 301 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: nine different looks, which essentially means nine different ways to 302 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: block the point of attack. One times the tight end 303 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: gets them inside, one time the tight end gets them outside. 304 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: One time they double team the guy, one time use 305 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: check comes. The other time they motion the guy, the 306 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: other time they motion the other guy the other way. 307 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: It's the same play, but you have so much stuff 308 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: going all around and that and the player doesn't know 309 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: what side the blocking scheme's coming from. It throws you off. 310 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: So it's just a very, very I would say, quarterback 311 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: friendly thing. I hear Colin compare Josh Allen to Cam 312 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: Newton and Ben Alott and he predicts that allen style 313 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: of play probably won't age. Well, do you think that 314 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: Allen will be able to adapt when his athletics declines? 315 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: If not, I don't see when he will ever win 316 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Well, I would disagree like Josh Allen 317 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: to me, I know he hasn't won an MVP, but 318 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: over the course of his career, like he's a more 319 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: consistent player than Camp. But I think he plays more 320 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: like Cam with a touch of Ben than he does 321 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: Ben with a touch of Camp. Because a huge part 322 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: of his game isn't just running, its power running. Now, 323 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Ben scrambled around and took a lot of hits, but 324 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: they weren't running him on like quarterbacks sweeps unless I'm 325 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: my memory's not serving, like not working anymore, Like Josh 326 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: is running over people and you just like I was 327 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: watching that game against Gantasy Chiefs, going he could not 328 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: do this for the next ten years. I don't care 329 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: how big and strong he is, so there's gonna have 330 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: to be some sort of balance. But I do think 331 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: he's a pretty special player and right now for the 332 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: next I would say half decade, you got a chance 333 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl, right And it's it's not 334 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: on him anymore. Obviously he needs to play well in 335 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: these big spots, but I mean it's on the organization. 336 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: Better guys on defense, you know, there's obviously injury. Luck 337 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: better guys, you know, guys on offense, a consistent running game. 338 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Keep Joe Brady. Do you know what I find really 339 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: stupid about the NFL rules, Like I totally understand the 340 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: new rule and I totally understand these new rules on 341 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: coordinators interviewing minority candidates because guys that are quarterback coaches 342 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: slash coordinators are you know, fifty times more likely to 343 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: become head coaches. Of course they are. That's you know, 344 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: the highest paid guy on the team is the quarterback. 345 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: But when I have Joe Brady as my offensive coordinator, 346 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: I fire what's his name, Ken Dorsey during the middle 347 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: of season, and I have Joe Brady and I want 348 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: to keep him as my offensive coordinator. I'm not hiring 349 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: him from the outside. I'm not just running a search 350 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: where I'm already in tunnel vision. If I want to 351 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: keep Joe Brady, I shouldn't have to interview anyone else. 352 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: If that's who I want to hire. That is the 353 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: optics sometimes in society, like that's stupid. If I want 354 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: to hire Joe Brady, totally understand you're hiring outside like 355 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders or the Bears or whoever. If you're just 356 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: doing an offensive coordinator the Eagles an offensive defensive coordinator search, 357 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: for sure. But if the guy's already on my fucking 358 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: staff and I want to elevate them, and I know 359 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: what am I doing. I've always thought that about, Like, listen, 360 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: when you're hiring these coordinators, totally understand it. If I 361 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: want Jim Harbaught, if I want Bill Belichick, if Mike 362 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: Tomlin were to get fired, I want to Mike Tomlin. 363 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: If I want Pete Carroll, I shouldn't have to fucking 364 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: interview anyone else. I remember when the Raiders got in 365 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: trouble for hiring John Gruden. It's like, what are we 366 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: doing here? Like there should be a level of tenure 367 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: if you've won a Super Bowl, Like, I don't need 368 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: to interview anyone else if that's the guy I want. 369 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: It happens in business all the time, right, Think about 370 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: in business, like I want this guy, I want that 371 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: number two from Apple to run my company. I don't 372 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: fucking waste time interviewing anyone else. I've already known. I've 373 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: been following her career or his career for a decade. 374 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: I've already known the person for seven years. They're who 375 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: I want. Can we just put some common sense in 376 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: all of this, Like that one if the guy's on 377 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: your staff and you want to keep them, because this 378 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: notion of like, well they didn't know about Mike tom Well, yeah, 379 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: they were doing an open search. Like that's not the 380 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: way these coordinator like Josh Allen wants Joe Brady as 381 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: he should love the golf betting content. I agree that 382 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: it's a great sport to bet on, but where I 383 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: get frustrated is the coverage. Unless you have money on 384 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: someone in contention, it feels impossible to see how your 385 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: player is performing. Do you think golf is leaving a 386 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: lot of potential on the table by not providing a 387 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: good way for betters to watch players they want to watch. 388 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: I love betting on the Ryder Cup, but even that 389 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: is hard. I think the hard part about golf relative 390 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: to let's just say baseball, basketball and football in those 391 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: other sports, or even tennis. Right the Australian Opens going 392 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: on right now, It's all going on in one place. Right. 393 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: If you're watching Roger Federer play Djokovic, they're playing on 394 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: the same court, Like you don't need to go back 395 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: and forth between course. The Chiefs and Bills game is 396 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: literally just the Chiefs and Bills game in golf, Like 397 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: there's one event and everyone's on a different hole. So 398 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: I do find it difficult now. I do think in 399 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: the future, could you find a way to get a 400 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: camera on every person. Here's the problem NBC is they 401 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: had to spend so much money for golf. The golf 402 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: doesn't make him that much money. If this was football, 403 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: they would find a way, they wouldn't have this problem. 404 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. Right in golf, it's like, 405 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: are we really gonna go above and beyond with our 406 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: costs when we don't get the money back? Like I'm 407 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: in agreement with you. If I have money, and I 408 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of money on several guys this weekend 409 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: at Torrey Pines, I want to be able to see, 410 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: like what's Ludviig doing right now? I got a top 411 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: twenty bed on him? Is he moving up the min 412 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: Wu lee? Where's he at? But it is difficult. I 413 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: do give them, not even the benefit of the doubt. 414 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: The reality of covering the sport and a cost standpoint, 415 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: is it really worth it? Like you gotta, I always 416 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: look at stuff from a business perspective, right, I saw, 417 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: like anyone my age or older, you grew up on 418 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: sports illustrated. Right, Sports illustrated was a huge, huge part 419 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: of your youth. I even remember, if I closed my eyes, 420 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: the library at Pioneer Elementary where I went to elementary school, 421 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: used to have sports illustrated for kids, and you would 422 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: go there and read Sports Illustrated for kids. This is 423 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: in the mid nineties. It was an enormous deal. I 424 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: remember the forty nine Ers won the Super Bowl and 425 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: I got one of those Sports Illustrated sweatshirts, the hoodless ones. 426 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: The reaction of Sports Illustrated going under from all the 427 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: journalists I thought was pretty laughable. Like, guys, Sports Illustrated 428 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: didn't die last week. It died like a decade ago. 429 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: Magazines are fucked. Is there any endus that is more 430 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: emotional about failed businesses than the media? Like what I understand, 431 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: if it just was humming and it just went under, 432 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: people would be like, what the hell, No one's reading 433 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: it anymore? Society changed. I am a great example of 434 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: someone that read Sports Illustrated his entire I haven't read 435 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: the thing in a decade plus. I don't even think 436 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: it existed. I actually saw it probably five or six 437 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: years ago. It was thinner than like three pieces of paper. Like, 438 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: why do you guys mad about the consumer? It's like 439 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: the corporate greed. No we are not. The consumer is 440 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: not reading, the consumer is not consuming. Follow the consumer, 441 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 1: Like where is that guy? I'll tell you where he is. 442 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: Podcasts youtubes blogs. I mean the world's changed. It's actually 443 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: whenever I see and I don't mean to go on 444 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: this ramp, but I gotta get off my chest because 445 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: I see it a lot on the X channel. The 446 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: complaining by it, this is so unfair. What's that to journalism? 447 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: It's actually, I'd argue, it's never been easier to be 448 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: a quote unquote media person. There's a million outlets, substack, YouTube. 449 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: Fucking start a podcast, but guy's a hard I don't 450 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: just fucking start it. Figure it out. I'll promise it. 451 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: It works. The writing for a magazine no longer works. 452 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: That's over. It's why defended Peacock, Like, guys, this is 453 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: where it's going. The Scorsese movie this eighteen hours long, 454 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: The Killer of Flower Moon. Wasn't that in theater like 455 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: a two weeks ago? I yesterday or earlier this week, 456 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: clicked on Apple TV. There it was cool for me, 457 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: like Broken Silver, Bring me the movie. I don't want 458 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: to go to the theater anymore. And I was someone 459 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: that loved movie theaters. I don't go to movie theaters anymore. 460 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: Why I got two eighty plus htvs and I paid 461 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars to smart tech my entire house, so 462 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: I got speakers everywhere, I got all sorts of shit 463 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: in every room. So I this notion that like, oh 464 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe it went under. You can't. 465 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: What are we talking about is It's like I'm not 466 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: anti like feeling like you got a raw deal when 467 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: I've been fired, but like if you get fired because 468 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: the business is failing and it's been clear for a 469 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: long time, like I feel little to no sympathy for you. 470 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: I actually kind of call you an idiot. Like it's 471 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: pretty clear people that are having success in your industry 472 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: are not doing what you're doing. So if you want 473 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: to succeed financially, pivot. I'm like, no industry and I 474 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: have friends in the beer business, family, in the farming industry, 475 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: construction industry, Like most of my friends are not people 476 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: in the media, And I see this group complain over 477 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: and over about this, Like I bet everyone listening if 478 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: you get nostalgic about things in your industry and listen, 479 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: we all are humans. We don't necessarily want things to change. 480 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: But when it's pretty clear, you either change with the 481 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: times or you're gonna get laid off, fired or not 482 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: survive business gonna go under. Welcome to capitalism. Hey, John, 483 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: used to listen to you back when y'all were on 484 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: ninety five to seven The Game a long time ago. 485 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: Just started listening again for the past month and have 486 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: always enjoyed your takes. Colin has said that the Raiders 487 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: likely will hire Cliff Kingsbury for offensive coordinator and was 488 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: wondering if you think that it would be a good fit. 489 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: I personally would like Zach Robinson. I'm also curious of 490 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: your take on what the Raiders should do with Josh Jacobs. 491 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: I think the running back situation is always tough, because 492 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: would I give Josh Jacobs like two years? You know 493 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: basically what. I forget the exact number of Jonathan Taylor's contract, 494 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: but I would just try to give him that contract, right. 495 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: But if he thinks he's getting like fifty million dollars, 496 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: like hey man, hit the open market. He's a good player. 497 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: I like Josh Jacobs. He's also battled a lot of injuries. 498 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: I have no clue what they're gonna do with offensive 499 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: coordinator none. I couldn't even begin to guess. I personally 500 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: would not hire Cliff Kingsbury like I would hire like 501 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: I said one of the what the Bears did, hire 502 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: someone from you know the crew McVeigh Shanahan. Now McDaniels like, 503 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: hire those guys. Listen, it's not guaranteed to work. The 504 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: Bears hired Getzy and everyone hated him immediately. I'm not 505 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: like some pro getsy guy, but I will defend him. 506 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: It's not like he was playing with Josh Allen or 507 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's playing with the guy that can't throw 508 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: from within the pocket. Kyle shanahan and John McVay might 509 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: have looked bad. As a longtime Giants fan, I've been 510 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: blessed to see two Super Bowls, but the Giants have 511 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: been a colossal failure since twenty eleven. It's a shame 512 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: and Mars should be embarrassed by his hiring, seemingly constantly meddling, 513 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: and the insistence on sticking with a below average quarterback 514 00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: in Jones. His only qualification is being Wellington's son. Assume 515 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: you are the GM of the Giants. What are the 516 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: first few moves? Being a head coach is difficult and 517 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: people are gonna disagree, right Being a leader, people aren't 518 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: always gonna be, you know, believing you I saw a 519 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: clip today on YouTube the algorithm of when John Harball 520 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: was hired. Ed Reid was like, I hated half the 521 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: things he was saying. He used to piss me off. 522 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: He's like, at first, I did not think this was 523 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: gonna work. So you're gonna rub some people the wrong way, right, 524 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: There's no growth without a little confrontation. But like a 525 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: couple of years in, everyone hating Brian day Ball to 526 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: me is not an ideal situation. So I would look 527 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: long and hard, like what's this guy's deal? What's our 528 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: problem here? And I would think about hiring Bill Belichick. 529 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you tell me, if the New York Giants 530 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: hire Bill Belichick tomorrow, you guys wouldn't be excited. That's 531 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: what I do. Maybe demote Brian davi Well like tight 532 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: ends coach. That would be my first call, you know, 533 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: bring the whiz kid home. Do you think coaches get 534 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: a courtesy call to to let them know that they 535 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: aren't selected for the position, or do you see Chefter's 536 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: tweet and think to themselves, dude, what the fuck I 537 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: killed that interview? That's a good question. You know. I've 538 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: never been in a situation to interview for you know, 539 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: a GM or a head coaching job. Obviously it's a 540 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: very very very public position. If I had to take 541 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: an educated guess, I would say the owner and the 542 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: GM who's hiring a coach or vice versa, even the GM, 543 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: they know that this information is going to get out 544 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: really fast once they call, So I would guess that 545 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: before you call. Let's say I'm offering, let's pick a guy, 546 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: uh who just got hired Raheem Morse. Before I hire 547 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: Raheem Morse, I call three or four guys and tell 548 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: them they did not you know, the final if there 549 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: was a final two or a final four, I call 550 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: them and say they did not get the job before 551 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: I hire the guy. That that's the most logical way 552 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that doesn't happen. Now, does that always 553 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: happen that way? Probably not. I bet there's a it's 554 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: one hundred percent happened where people find out they're in 555 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: the running for a job they didn't get the job 556 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: through Twitter. If Deebo Samuel doesn't end up playing Sunday, 557 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: how do you think Detroit's defense Mainly the linebackers stack 558 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: up against Christian McCaffrey and Kittle. I got a text 559 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: yesterday from a buddy who covers the Niners who was 560 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: at practice. He's like deebos plan. Obviously, Deebo practiced on Thursday, 561 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: and he was moving his shoulder around dancing before Debo's plan. 562 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: I feel like everyone rags on the secondary for a 563 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: good reason, but I feel like between the pass rush 564 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: and rattling purty, thinks can get evenly mashed. You hit quarterbacks, 565 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: whether it's Tom Brady, whether it's Joe Montana, or whether 566 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: it's Brock Purdy, like you got a chance. We saw 567 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: the Giants win two Super Bowls by peppering Tom Brady. 568 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: If you can hit a quarterback, I don't care if 569 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: you're playing the best quarterback ever or Joe Schmoe, average 570 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. You can beat anybody. You can beat anybody. 571 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: If you don't touch a quarterback. You can make average 572 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: guys look good, and good guys look great, and great 573 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: guys unstoppable. So it's football has always been pretty simple 574 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: that way. It's like, you hit the quarterback, you got 575 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: a chance, Now relentlessly hit him like one sack. You 576 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: get one sack and it feels big, and then you 577 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: don't pressure them the rest of the game, or are 578 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: you constantly in his ass you always mentioned Josh Allen's 579 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: name first, is so exhausting. Lamar is about to be 580 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: a two time MVP. Joe Burrow has made it to 581 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and has actually beat Mahomes in the playoffs. 582 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: Patrick is a two time champion, two time MVP. Josh 583 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: Allen has only made it to the divisional round of 584 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs with no noteworthy accomplishments. Yeah, I mean, I sorry, Mahomes. 585 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: And if Lamar beats Mahomes Lamar, then Burrow's been injured. 586 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: Like listen, there's four guys that are clearly better than everybody, 587 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: and there's one guy who's better even if Mahomes lose 588 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: a Sunday, like Mahomes the King. And then there's a 589 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: group of three guys I personally would take Josh Allen 590 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: over the other three, like football is not. This isn't 591 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: one on one basketball, Like Lamar's team is good, like 592 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: fucking fantastic. Obviously he is too, but let's face it, 593 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: he was not having some like look at his numbers 594 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: the last three or four weeks inflated it a lot. 595 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: And again, like part of the reason Perty was in 596 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: the MVP conversation. It was an atrocious MVP year. So 597 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: this notion that like Josh Allen doesn't belong in the conversation. 598 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: To me, it's like, are we watching the same guys 599 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: play fucking football? His defense is fucking off. He was 600 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: playing with guys off the street. I feel like I 601 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: can defend Josh Allen. I mean, what do we anyone 602 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: who's watched football long enough and watched that guy's play 603 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: and doesn't go God that the guy's a remarkable player. 604 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: Joe Burrows in a sling. My question is about how 605 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: much defensive scheme impacts the pressure defensive lineman's generate. I've 606 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: seen two lines, and the Niners and Eagles with big 607 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: names generate little to no pressure in their playoff games 608 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: this year. Bosas specifically sounds out stands out as a 609 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: player is having an extremely down year compared to with 610 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans. I think the scheme definitely helps write any player. 611 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: But I do think sometimes as a defensive lineman it's 612 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: like it's a three to two count. You either can 613 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: hit the outside fastballer you can't right. You either can 614 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: get a shot one on one against a good defender 615 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: in the playoffs or you can't. Like eventually, if I'm 616 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: a pass rusher and I'm going one on one with 617 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 1: a tackle, or I'm an interior pass rusher and I'm 618 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: getting chipped, I either get penetration, right, I can't. And 619 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I think it's easy to blame the 620 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators. But like, sometimes you gotta make plays, you know, 621 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: Like I watch Aaron Donald a lot over the years. 622 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: It's like he just finds there's a will, there's a way, 623 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: like TJ. Watt. You just watched TJ Watt, Like is 624 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: it the scheme or is it just like this guy's 625 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: just getting home? So I I typically when it comes 626 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: to defensive lineman, like corners, corners can greatly benefit from 627 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: a scheme. Most corners are very scheme dependent. To me, 628 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: good defensive lineman, highly paid, twenty thirty million dollar defensive 629 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: lineman gotta win. You're one on one with a guard 630 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: fifteen times during a game in pass RUSS situations like 631 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: can you get five pressures? Do you think the Broncos 632 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: should draft a quarterback and build around him or should 633 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: they just trade up for someone like Tua? Uh? That's 634 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: a good question. Who's really Tua? In this draft. I 635 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 1: guess it would be Penix. His combine is gonna be huge. 636 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: You know his knees, uh, the medical with him, So 637 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: I would say I would just imagine they draft a quarterback, 638 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: but I don't know when. Wouldn't totally shock me if 639 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: they keep building up the team and they just play 640 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: next year with Stidham said, you listen to financial podcasts, 641 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: what would you recommend? I get asked this question a lot. 642 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: I think I've said it like ten times. You know 643 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: the compound Josh Brown, He's my go to love the 644 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: show and I listen every day while I'm running my route. 645 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm a big Panther fan and wanted to get your 646 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: thoughts on Canalis as a head coach. Most fans on 647 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: X think it's just Dan Morgan's buddy. Well, I don't 648 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: know the guy. I honestly don't know that much about him. Obviously, 649 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: he's a long time position coach for Pete Carroll in 650 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: Seattle and as a coordinator this year was good, I 651 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: mean resurrected Baker's career. He looks. I mean, you see 652 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: that guy. I always wonder a coaches the hours they work, Like, 653 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: how does he say so skinny. Does he just not 654 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: have a sweet tooth? Is hes not snacking looks fantastic. 655 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: Let's be real about this. The Panthers organization is beyond 656 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: a shit show simply because of the owner, who has 657 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: unlimited money, who thinks he who tells coaches what plays 658 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: to run and drills to run in practice and who 659 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: to draft, and who designed Most people did not want 660 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 1: that job. I'm not taking anything away from this guy. 661 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: But Dave Canalis, who was a one year coordinator kind 662 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: of out of nowhere, signs a six year contract that 663 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know. Dan Morgan was 664 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: just in the building as the last several years and 665 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: he becomes the gm SO and listen. I've always liked 666 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: Dan Morgan, met him a couple of times. I just 667 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: think that organization is talk about it problem, new listener 668 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: the last couple of months to your podcast. I listen 669 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: to almost everyone now. The way you translate real life 670 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 1: to sporting scenarios is next to nothing. Colin does it well, 671 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: but he's on a bigger scale, doesn't have time for 672 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: listeners to go on and on. Learn a lot from 673 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: yourself in life and how to operate as a young 674 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: man God influencing the youth and the way you should 675 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: conduct yourself. I don't know if I'd go that far, 676 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: but I appreciate it. Uh Hey, John love thepod. I'm 677 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: not a Bills fan, but I think it's a good 678 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: idea they could do to fix their team is to 679 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: move on from Diggs. I think they need to trade 680 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: him and try to get Jefferson or someone else that's 681 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: in the class of wide receivers. How do you do that? 682 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: That's one of the great trades of all time. There 683 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: was a win. Win was the Vikings trading Digs of 684 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: the Bills for pick whatever it was twenty two and 685 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: taking Justin Jefferson. So if you are gonna trade Digs, 686 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get a first round pick at this time, 687 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 1: and then you just got to keep your fingers crossed. 688 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: You get like Deebo, Samuel dk metcalfor DeVante Adams in 689 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: the second round, assuming you get a second round pick 690 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: for him. I don't normally watch much of the late 691 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: rounds of the draft, but a few years ago a 692 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 1: kid who had watched play in high school had declared 693 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: for the draft. For the last several rounds, he was 694 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: listed as one of the best players available. He wasn't drafted, 695 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: probably because of injuries, as a free agent and played 696 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: briefly in the National Football League. Is it better to 697 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: be drafted and be saddled with the tag of mister 698 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: irrelevant or be listed on the draft board? Is the 699 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: best player still on the board when the draft ends? Well, 700 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 1: who's board? Right? If you're on the team's board, it's like, hey, 701 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: we want you as an undrafted free agent. We had 702 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: you as a fifth round pick, but we didn't have 703 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: any picks. Yeah, that's good. But if you're on mel 704 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: Kiper Daniel Jeremiah's board, that doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. And 705 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: I listen, I love DJ and mel Kiper is like 706 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: anyone my age, dude to badass. But their boards do 707 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: not matter for the league. So you would always want 708 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: to be drafted, in my opinion, because that means the 709 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: team there are people invested in you as an undrafted 710 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 1: free agent. I do think it's a little harder, even 711 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: though in the NFL it's definitely possible, right, and we 712 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: see it all the time, guys become legit players. But 713 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: you are fighting an uphill battle and you're gonna need injuries, right, 714 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: so if things don't break your way, it can be difficult. 715 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, that's all I would say. It's if I'm 716 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: a six I'd rather be a six round pick than 717 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent and just be like when the 718 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: draft ends, I'm the best undrafted player on mel Kiper's board, 719 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: I would much rather be picked two H two. I mean, 720 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: look at rock Perty. Part of the reason like they 721 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: not only they drafted them, they when they call them 722 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: like we like you. The forty nine ers put it 723 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: out a couple months ago, like of the draft call 724 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: of Kyle going, people in this building like you. You 725 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: always want supporters. I say it all the time. You 726 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: want people in your professional life. As a young person 727 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: who believe in you. It has to happen whether you're 728 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos or me or you. If you start at 729 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: a company doing whatever you're gonna do in your early 730 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: to mid twenties, you need a support system of someone 731 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: that goes I believe in this kid. If you don't 732 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: have that, this fucking cutthroat world man, the private sector 733 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: will eat you up and spa you alive. I don't 734 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: care what you're doing, especially playing in football. So sometimes 735 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent like We just need a body, and 736 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,280 Speaker 1: we lie to them. If I draft you, one hundred 737 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: percent people like you in the building position coach, a coordinator, 738 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: the owner, the GM, the assistant GM. Somebody likes you. 739 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: Now that that's true sometimes too an undrafted free agents, 740 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: But it's one percent true when I use a draft 741 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 1: pick on you as a player. So I would always 742 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: rather be drafted the volume
