Hi, everybody, 9 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: welcome in the oa's interesting, contentious, antagonistic. Mike Silver on 10 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: the Niners is joining us in ten minutes. So generally speaking, 11 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: California teams are wealthy in the context of comparing them 12 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: to other sports franchis. Stan Cronky owns the Rams. He's 13 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: the first or second richest NFL owner. The Dodgers have 14 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: the biggest payroll in baseball, could be fifty million annually, 15 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: more than any other team. But there are exceptions. Robert 16 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Sarver was forced to sell the Phoenix Suns. Do you 17 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: know who now is the poorest NBA owner? Take a second, 18 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Genie Bus Lakers the poorest NBA owner. Now, this has 19 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: been one of my concerns all along. It's gone from 20 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: a global brand to a national brand to now the 21 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: Lakers are just an LA brand. The truth is they're 22 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: not even the most popular NBA team in terms of 23 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: NBA ratings in California. The Warriors are. The Lakers organization 24 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: is friends and family. It is an incredibly insular brand 25 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: now instead of creative and innovative and progressive. It's not 26 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: the most popular basketball brand in the state of California. 27 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: The Warriors are. In fact, I would argue it's not 28 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: the most popular sports brand in Los Angeles. The Dodgers are. 29 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: The Dodgers draw ten thousand more fans per game than 30 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the second best attendance team in Major League Baseball, which 31 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: I think is the Yankees. So when stand cronky or 32 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: wealthier owners, the Dodgers can go past a tax threshold 33 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: because they just want to win, to huge advantage the Lakers. 34 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: They just don't have the net worth as an ownership group. 35 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: And this is something I've harped on for a long time. 36 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: Lebron has an international brand. His brand right now is 37 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: better perceived than the Lakers brand. Now he left the Cavaliers, 38 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: they have no brand outside of Ohio. But isn't that 39 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: interesting that in Los Angeles. All things considered, the Dodger 40 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: owners among the richest, the Rams owners among the richest. 41 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Steve ballmer Clippers owner among the richest. He may be 42 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: the richest. Genie Buss smallest net worth among all NBA owners. 43 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: This feels like a corner store. And it was the 44 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: world's biggest basketball brand. Fifteen twenty years ago, the Celtics 45 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: and the Lakers were two big brands. The Celtics have 46 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: kept up their end of the deal. Still wildly popular, 47 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: still move a television rating, lots of young ascending players. 48 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: Go look at the Lakers last ten years. Take out 49 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: the bubble year, which was a complete outlier for sports. 50 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Take out the bubble year last ten years. What are 51 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: the Lakers? A bottom five win percentage NBA franchise. I 52 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: think there are people in Los Angeles I think I'm 53 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: picking on them. I'm not, but they just literally don't 54 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: know what they were doing. I was having a conversation 55 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: with an NBA scout and he was talking about to 56 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: me the Lakers roster and he's like, Colin, there are 57 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: people on that roster that we the team he worked for, 58 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: used to work for. He said, we wouldn't even give 59 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: a tryout too, would not give a tryout to so 60 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Sean McVay. After another loss on Monday Night Football that 61 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: was quoted saying this year has really been quote humbling 62 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: Listen saysn't college football. The better you are the Worshire 63 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: Draft pick, the better you are you in a super Bowl, 64 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: everybody wants to raise Von Miller wants more money, OBJ 65 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: wants more money. Players leave. Here's all you have to know. 66 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has never repeated as a Super Bowl champion. 67 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: It's okay, It's okay. The one thing the Rams have 68 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Sean McVeagh is a great recruiter, and Stan Cronky is 69 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: a very wealthy owner. And Los Angeles is very attractive 70 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: to free agents. It's why Lincoln Riley can pitch and 71 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: turn around USC so quickly. It's a great place if 72 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: you've got the guy willing to give you the sales pitch. 73 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley, Sean McVeagh, You're gonna be fine. Now. Chip Kelly, 74 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: who's a really smart coach, isn't much of a recruiter, 75 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: isn't a sales pitch guy. Even he landed the nation's 76 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: second best high school quarterback this week. So California, a 77 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: wealthy owner and somebody that can pitch the franchise, you're 78 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: going to be fine. I mean, that's what I wonder 79 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: about New England. When New England comes out and says 80 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: their quarterback Mac Jones can't throw a hail Mary doesn't 81 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: have the arm to do it. When they throw forty 82 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: percent of their passes no more than five yards down 83 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: the field, the message you're sending to the National Football League, 84 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: the top receivers, the top tight ends, we don't respect 85 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: or trust our quarterback. And Belichick's not exactly zig Ziegler 86 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: as a salesman. My concern for the Patriots is that, 87 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: whereas the Rams and New England are struggling, the Rams 88 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: have a quarterback in Matt Stafford that has proven he 89 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: can win not only playoff games, but road playoff games, 90 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: and a coach that's willing to pitch all the high 91 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: qualities of Los Angeles, of California, of the ownership of 92 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: so far of the roster. Belichick views that as beneath him. 93 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Players don't want to play in cold weather anyway. They'll 94 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: go to New England or Buffalo if they can get 95 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: paid more. But when I look at the Patriots mess 96 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: the messaging to the rest of the league and free agents. 97 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: And this is why it's important. Free agents matter to 98 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: New England because they can't draft and develop skill players. 99 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: They can't do it ten years grounks the last offensive 100 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl or they drafted and developed, so they've got 101 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: to go to free agency. What's the sales pitch? We 102 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: don't love our quarterback. You'll have to take a pay 103 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: cut because we won't go top of the market. It's 104 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: culture and defense over offense. I never worry about USC 105 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: or an Alabama. When you hire a Saban or a 106 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly at LSU, Aura Lincoln Riley or Jim Harbaugh, 107 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: those guys can make a pitch. You tell me in 108 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: New England right now, I'm a wide receiver and they 109 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: have a terrible wide receiver room. You tell me, what 110 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: is the pitch? Matt Jones, you don't trust him. Matt 111 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: Patricia's your offensive coordinator. Bill Belichick. Culture over paycheck. Give 112 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: me the coach that is willing to sell a program, 113 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: college or pro. You can turn it around quickly. Belichick. 114 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: That is not his vibe. And players want to see 115 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: the love. They want to be recruited even guys that 116 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: are already fifty million plus net worth in the NFL NBA. 117 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: They want to be loved. You got to show him 118 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: the love. So college football coach Pat Nardoosi at Pittsburgh 119 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: set on radio yesterday that two schools in college football 120 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: have offered North Carolina quarterback Drake May five million to transfer. 121 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: Drake May is very good. Number one pick next year 122 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: in the draft will be Caleb Williams, USC quarterback. Barring 123 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: an injury following year, Drake May quarterback Carolina will be 124 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: the number one draft pick six four and a half, 125 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: big arm, moves, tremendous talent. He would be pick number 126 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: two if he came out next year, behind Caleb Williams 127 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: tremendous talent. The coach at pitt says, it's only going 128 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: to get worse. It's a sad, sad deal. What's sad 129 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: about it? College football programs make ninety five million dollars 130 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: a year at the top end and forty five to 131 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars at the middle to bottom end. 132 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: What's sad about it? A superstar quarterback, the best in 133 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: the program's history, is not worth five million dollars a 134 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: year In the nil era. What's sad about it? Coaches 135 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: are making ten million dollars and they skip down every 136 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes for all these coaches, what's sad about it? 137 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: A superstar college quarterback and Drake may is I can't 138 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: miss prospect it appears. You tell me Caleb Williams for 139 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: USC from four and eight to eleven and two is 140 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: not worth several million dollars a year Los Angeles, California's 141 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: got the fourth biggest economy in the world. Caleb Williams 142 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: isn't worth four or five million dollars. These coaches get 143 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: fired and schools have to pay them twenty and thirty 144 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: million dollars to buy out their contract, and they're not 145 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: even good at their job. Why can't a college superstar 146 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: quarterback make four to five million dollars a year? Why not? 147 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: Most players aren't making that. Ninety nine percent of players 148 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: aren't making a dollar. They're not making anything. Yes, but 149 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: a superstar quarterback's gonna get paid. Average college football coaches 150 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: make four million dollars a year. Guys that get run 151 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: out after three years and get paid off fifteen to 152 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars to buy out their contract aren't even 153 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: good at their work, and it's a sad, sad deal 154 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: that a superstar quarterback gets paid. Some of these coaches 155 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: are out of touch, all right. Mike Silver, host of 156 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: Open Mic on the Volume, Wearing the Volume merch haven't 157 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: talked to Mike in a long time.

So one of 161 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: your great interviews with Robert sala Very. You know, just dynamic, 162 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: good looking, big energy, really authentic at the mic, not 163 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: a bsor just gonna come up. So I was pretty 164 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: harsh on him, and I've never known if he's gonna 165 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: make it or not. Because I do worry about defensive 166 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: coach with young quarterbacks, Matt Eberflus, justin Fields. I worry 167 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: about it. I see Doug Peterson, who I was begging 168 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: to get a job in Jacksonville with Trevor, and Trevor 169 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: pops like explodes. I do think we're living in a 170 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: time where, if you can choose, if you have to 171 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: flip a coin, take the offensive guy with a young quarterback. 172 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: Be that as it may. I'm not a fan of 173 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. I've said before, I don't know if Sala 174 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: is going to make it, but I didn't like when 175 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: he blamed the media for being instant coffee, you know, 176 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: overreactionary and impatient. Was Zach Wilson. My favorite part though, 177 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: is he's your guy and he reads out to you. 178 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to read all of it, but this 179 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: is funny. This is why I love doing what I do. 180 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: And he said to you, what, Well, he wanted me 181 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: to pass along some messages to you. One is that 182 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: he loves he long time listener, big fan fix. You're 183 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: very insightful, he said, judgmental, but insight But yeah, he 184 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: just wants you to know. I think i'll paraphrase. He 185 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: doesn't want you to believe that he's some giant meadhead. 186 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: He and he has some offensive background. He played offense 187 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: through college. He started his coaching career on the offensive side. 188 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: I will say this Colin. So he brought Mike Lafloor 189 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: with him from Yeah, the forty nine ers, and basically 190 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: Mike Lafloor and Mike McDaniel were there. Kyle was going 191 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: to let him take one. Now, normally, when you have 192 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: the second overall pick in the draft, and you pick 193 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you sink or swim with that guy, Right, Like, 194 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: if Zach Wilson turns out to pop and be good, 195 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: then he and Joe Douglas will be great. And if 196 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't, it's a tough road. Right. What I'm trying 197 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: to wrap my head around is that it's very possible 198 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: that Kyle shannaheaded John Lynch will have traded three ones, 199 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: possibly tucked himself talk to himself, Kyle out of the 200 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: guy who wanted. That's a whole other story and we've 201 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: had that conversation. But whatever traded three ones and arrived 202 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: at Trey Lands, it might be a bust and they 203 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: might get away with it because Rod party is here falling. 204 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: And if that happens, when has it ever happened that? 205 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: Because that's the kind of thing that you treade three 206 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: ones at miss at three, you get fired. It sets 207 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: the franchise back years. They're just cruising well. They have 208 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: they have one advantage. They have so many elite players. 209 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, they have two elite linebackers, two elite safeties. 210 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: They could move one and regain some draft capital. Everybody's 211 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: looking for pass rushers. And you know what I mean. 212 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: So you know, they could go get a bunch of 213 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, they could say, listen, Whofunga is hitting it 214 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: out of the park. We could move Jimmy Ward. So 215 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: they do have the ability outside of the right side 216 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: of their offensive line. Center. Right, not a lot of 217 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: weaknesses with this franchise. They're even at wide receiver. Jennings 218 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: is a seventh round pick, Elijah Mitchell at six. They've 219 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: hit so many home runs. So my takeaway on the 220 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: Trey Lance thing is you have to give it another 221 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: camp in preseason. But here's what worries me. It's by 222 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: the time next season starts, he's played four games in 223 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: three years, Mike, it's unprecedented. That's not enough games. Yeah, 224 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: and juxtaposed against the guy who they took him at 225 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: two sixty two, so let's not go pretending like they 226 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: thought he was the second coming of Tom Brady. But 227 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: Rock Purty to them, had played a lot of games. Right, 228 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: became a starter his freshman year at Iowa State, and 229 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: that showed in trading camp as Trey Lance was struggling 230 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: with accuracy and maybe struggling with the weight of the 231 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: situation and Jimmy Garoppolo was off on his side field, 232 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, as a spectacle, just throwing waiting to get traded. 233 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: It seemed brock Purty was out there going against what's 234 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: clearly the best defense in football with some swag to him, 235 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: and you know, the confidence jumped out at people. And 236 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: I think that's one reason, along with how he's looked, 237 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: that it's worked so well since he's come in. But 238 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: he was experienced in in a way that Trey Lads wasn't. 239 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, I wrote a column for the San Francisco 240 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: Chronicle recently about what's going to happen next year. Brady 241 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: had just come to town, and you know, there are 242 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: really four people I was talking about, and that was 243 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, who almost certainly will get paid and go 244 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: elsewhere and has the power to pick his next spot 245 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: because they can't tag him, nor would they. I don't 246 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: think Trey Lads, who will still be under the rookie deal, 247 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: and you have so much invested in brock Purty, obviously 248 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: a cheap second year of a rookie deal, and you know, 249 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: we'll see if he levels off, but has looked the 250 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: part early on. And then possibly Tom Brady, who will 251 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: be a free agent if he wants to keep playing. 252 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,119 Speaker 1: If they are interested in him as a bridge quarterback, 253 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: and he's interested, you could really keep Purdie Adlance around 254 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: while you have Brady, and so I could see that. 255 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: I could also see a situation where, if it goes 256 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: as well as it seems to be going with Purdie, 257 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: where they say, look, we're keeping the two young guys, 258 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: We're going to have a competition in camp. But I 259 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: would be shocked if Brott Purdie doesn't win that competition. No, 260 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: this is not a knock on tree. If you look 261 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: at what Kyle wants. He wanted Mac Jones accurate, He 262 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: liked Kirk Cousins accurate, Matt Shop, he liked Matt Shob. 263 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't like. He doesn't like guys that run out 264 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: of his play In fact, my knock on him, my 265 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: only knock on Kyle Shanahan, and this may be unfair. 266 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: He can become beholden to his play sheet. Is that 267 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: he I mean, he is so focused, Like there are 268 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: times I'm like, could you let Garoppolo let it rip 269 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: a little? We all know professional athletes care about what 270 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: they look like, and as you know, I care about 271 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: what I look like right now. I've been wearing a 272 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: lot of Cuts clothing. I love this thing right now. 273 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: Every Cut shirt is designed to provide a perfectly tailored look. 274 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: If you want to a long sleeve Henley, no problem, 275 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: a short sleeve crew neck, They've got it. Cuts has 276 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: everything you want, and I've got all of it and 277 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: I wear all of it right now.

Fifteen percent off first order by going 279 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: to Cuts Clothing dot com slash colin Cuts Cuts look 280 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: them up. I got a closet full of their stuff 281 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: and I love it. I want to talk about Brady 282 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: because Brady refuted your report that he changed bucking your 283 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: game plans. I've known you for a long time, one 284 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: of the reasons I hired you. You're unbelievably connected and 285 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: you don't bullshit. So I do think Brady's fascinating because 286 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: he won't take because you're not paying Purty or really 287 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: Trey Lance anything, and Tom won't take a max steal 288 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: with this roster not you know, there's just not a 289 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: lot of money. So I do. If I said to you, 290 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: let's before we get to refuting your report on Brady, 291 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: I think it feels as his parents age forty sixty 292 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Well, I mean, where do you land on 293 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: Brady in the Niners. I believe from talking to people there, 294 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: that he wants to come back at this point, although 295 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: you never know, and I believe he's open to other situations. 296 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: We'll see if Sean Payton gets a job. There was 297 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: that talk last year, but you know, I know there 298 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: was a real pull for him three years ago, and 299 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: Kyle ultimately decided, you know what, I'm gonna ride with Jimmy. 300 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: We just got to the Super Bowl. Kyle has essentially 301 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: admitted publicly that well, you know, knowing what we don't 302 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: know about Brady, you know, we were crazy, and so 303 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: was anyone else who didn't try to get him. But 304 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: they hadn't loved his take from twenty nineteen, you know, 305 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: and now you know, he's had a couple of bad 306 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: games now, including against them, and we just have this, 307 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, we've suspended disbelief and we just believe he's 308 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: always going to be at this level until he's a hundred, right, 309 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: which is not going to happen. But you know, there 310 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: is some alure there, I think on both sides, and 311 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: you know, First of all, the one part of my 312 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: report about Brady that we haven't talked about that I 313 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: know he's not refuting, because we had the conversation very vividly, 314 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: is that he didn't shower after that game. He's back 315 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: in front of family and friends, it rains, he plays 316 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: a big, long game, and he gets out of his 317 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: jersey slowly and puts on his Tom Brady boxers and 318 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: gets dressed and semi lee board's across country flight. That's 319 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: crazy rock star stuff like that. To me, I told him, 320 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: I go, I think that's probably your most legendary thing 321 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: in the last five years, maybe other than the Rams 322 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: come back, you know, winning a Super Bowl. That's so 323 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: I was kind of obsessed with that as far as 324 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: the other thing. So I kind of put in later 325 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: my column as a throwaway that Brady has a meeting 326 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: with the skill players on Saturdays, just him and them, 327 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: no coaches, and he kind of goes over the coaches, 328 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: you know, script and okay, you know on this one, 329 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: maybe you do this and just twiaks it some and 330 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: everybody the skill players though, and the coaches kind of 331 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: find out a game day. I was just when I 332 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: put it in, I was trying to illustrate just how 333 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: much he has on his plate, and I probably you know, 334 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: I did not discuss that with him in the time 335 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: we had together after the game, partly honestly because I 336 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: was so obsessed with the shower thing, and partly because 337 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: I just hadn't regarded it as a super significant thing 338 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: when I heard it. But I think what happened is 339 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: when it came out, it got taken by everyone as 340 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: this had SETI everything, and I think Todd Bowles and 341 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich, who also refuted it, probably thought there it 342 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: looks like we don't really coach, and Tom is the 343 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: guy running things, and Tom maybe took it as it 344 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: looks like I'm going rogue. I didn't get the feeling 345 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: that anybody was upset about this, that this is, you know, 346 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: And imagine if Peyton Manning were still playing at a 347 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: high level and he were at the same age as 348 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: Tom or that age, would you let Peyton Manning be 349 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: heavily involved in tweaking the plays at telling player? You know, 350 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: of course he would. So I didn't think, you know, 351 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: the way it was portrayed to be, It was like, 352 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: this is a good thing we have Tom Brady. He's 353 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: giving the input and we're all on the same page. 354 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: So look, I stand by what I reported, but I 355 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: do regret that I didn't get a chance to explicitly 356 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: ask Tom about it. That's on me. Yeah, And by 357 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: the way, I think what you said there is. Your 358 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: takeaway was look at how much Tom has on his play. 359 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't an indictment of the character or work ethic 360 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: of the coaches. It was an illustration of this thing's 361 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: been a little bit of a tire fire and Tom's 362 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: having to take control of it. I've done that in 363 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: my career, where I say something or I tell a 364 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: story and people take it to be harsh when I'm 365 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: just trying to illuminate something. So I mean, I get it. 366 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: But that happened to me more than once. You know, 367 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: so many things are interesting with the forty nine ers. 368 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: Somebody was saying this to me recently, and I apologize 369 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: for anybody listening to the podcast we were talking about this. 370 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: It may have been Jason McIntyre said this on the show. 371 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: The only thing worse than making a draft mistake is 372 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: doubling down on it. And what's interesting about Trey Lance 373 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: is because of his lack of playing and esthetically, he 374 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: has struggled with accuracy. I know this because I was 375 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: told the Niners literally went and called a quarterback coach 376 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: last year in preseason I won't give his name away, 377 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: and said, all hands on deck, we got an issue here. 378 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: So it was a real issue. Then we watched him 379 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: plays wise, and we're like, oh, it is an issue. 380 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: He it's a little Zach Wilson. He's missing layups, he's 381 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: missing the easy stuff. And I don't think. I don't 382 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: think the Niners ask a ton of their quarterbacks. They 383 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: really don't. It's kind of a Chris Paul, get the 384 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: ball to the shooter, get the ball in the lane, right. 385 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: You're not asking them to be Steph Curry and hit 386 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: thirty two footers off balance like sometimes Kansas City or 387 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: the Chargers or the Bills asked their quarterback to be Superman. 388 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: So the question with Trey is pretty's accurate? Trey's not 389 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: and let us go to camp. Yeah, there are times 390 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: where Trey was accurate. It's that he wasn't consistently accurate, 391 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: and when it looked bad, it looked really bad. Um, 392 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: So here's what I would say on Trey one thing 393 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: that seems to me to be the case. And this 394 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: is from talking to some people on the inside too. Um, 395 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: that athleticism that they believed they saw, you know, when 396 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: you're running circles around Montana State. That's cool, but it's 397 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily the same thing as doing and in the 398 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: sec right. I think they thought he could get outside 399 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more than what could counter and he's like, 400 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen could do it, Lamar, Heaven knows that Justin 401 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: Fields could do it. Right, Um, there's some people who 402 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: can do it. And Josh played at a lower level 403 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: of Wyoming, which is still higher than North Dakota State. Um, 404 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: So people were like, why was Kyle running him inside 405 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: when he got hurt? Why why did he keep running 406 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: him inside? I think he was running him inside because 407 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: he couldn't get outside. And so if that's the case, 408 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: that's not on Trey. That's a failure in the scouting process. 409 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: I've always clung to the fact that he's very very 410 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: intelligent and what Kyle does, what Kyle does, ask He's 411 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: understand this very high concept thing we're doing and know 412 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: how to get it to the right person. So that 413 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: is that's always been exciting to me, but if you 414 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: have accuracy, that's not there, and you don't have crazy athleticism. 415 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: They were excited about the deep ball, that's kind of 416 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: gone away, but you know, not with Trey, but I 417 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: mean with Jimmy had brought party. It's less of a 418 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: part of their offense than they intended. And they drafted 419 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: a guy Danny Gray who really hasn't been on the field. 420 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: But um, you know, look, your depiction of what they're 421 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: doing is very accurate. And Robert sal and I actually 422 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: have had the conversation about how many elite players they 423 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: have at many positions and that allows you a lot 424 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: of leeway in that situation. What I haven't seen from 425 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: Purdy yet. I did see him go on the road. 426 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: I did see him deal with a loud crowd in Seattle. 427 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: I did see him play hurt, you know, on a 428 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: short week. So all that's really you know, uplifting. What 429 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 1: I what I need to see decks from Purdy is 430 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: you're down fourteen points in the fourth quarter or you are, 431 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: you need to really do something special with the ball, 432 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: you know, on a deep out or something, and that 433 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: the game hinges on that and will he you know, 434 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: no quarterbacks perfect. And you know, look, Jimmy Garoppolo was 435 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: playing at a pretty high level. If Jimmy Garoppolo got 436 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: down by fourteen points in the playoffs this year, had 437 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: he not got hurt and then threw a pick, you 438 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: know what would have happened. The world would to say, 439 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: he's not good enough. You can only go so far 440 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: with him. He can't with a big one. It's very 441 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: possible that that could happen to brock Purty. And given 442 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: where we are in the season, it's possible that could 443 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: happen in Philadelphia or in the super Bowl, or you know, 444 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: when Tom Brady beats Dallas in the playoffs and that 445 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: comes back to Levi's and rips out their souls and 446 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: you know whatever, it is. Well, the greatest come from 447 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: behind quarterback ever, statistically as Patrick Mahomes, and he's the 448 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: best quarterback. The great quarterbacks can do two things. Score 449 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: is irrelevant. Even with Aaron Rodgers top ten quarterback ever, 450 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: score is relevant, He's not as good from behind. Mahomes 451 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: wins over fifty five percent of the games he's trailed 452 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: by ten points. That's historically makes no sense. The second 453 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: thing great quarterbacks do is beat great teams. Two is 454 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: a great example. Five and oh against non playoff teams, 455 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: dragged against three playoff teams. Now he'll go home against 456 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay and he'll win a game because they probably 457 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: won't make the playoffs. So I think with pretty your 458 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: concerns are very real. He's playing with a lead and 459 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: he's beating men. So as when you get to the playoffs, 460 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: you're at Philadelphia, you trail's. I remember saying this about 461 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield when he had Nick Chubb and 462 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: throwing on second and four, Baker Mayfield was really effective, 463 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: sure trailing totally different cornerback. And like, it's interesting talking 464 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: about the forty nine ers. I'm really torn because I 465 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 1: know how good they are and I see how they're rolling, 466 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: and I've gotten healthier and I feel that vibe, and 467 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: I look at the NFC and I'm thinking they should 468 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: win that conference. In my opinion, not a given, but 469 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: that's there. But then if you really break it down, 470 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: they've beaten two teams that currently have winning records. That's 471 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, who are eight and six on the charts, 472 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: who were eight and six, beat the Seahawks who are 473 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: seven and seven twice They've lost to one team that 474 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: currently has a wedding record, that's the Kansas City Chiefs, 475 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: and it was not close. They got rolled. Now McCaffrey 476 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: had just gotten there. They had some health issues. Tre 477 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: Various Ward wasn't right, but that was not a if 478 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: that was a Super Bowl preview. We hope it wasn't 479 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: because the Chiefs were way better that day. So, you know, 480 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I don't get two ahead 481 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: of myself on it. But I saw your tweet the 482 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: other night when I was working in Seattle with Rock 483 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Ferdie and the you know, and I'm thinking, yeah, he might. 484 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: Now I think the counterpoint to that would be, even 485 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: if Brock Furdie gets to the Super Bowl, get ready 486 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: for Purdie versus Burrow, Purdie versus Olden Birdie versus Mahomes, 487 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: Bertie versus Lomar, Like, it's probably gonna be one of 488 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: those like WHOA doesn't meat, he can't win that team. Okay, 489 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: Mike Silver and I are doing a lot of Niners talk. 490 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: It's interesting, let's go to Robert Salo and the Jets 491 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: because of your relationship with him and the fact that 492 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: he listens to my show. So I want to say 493 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: something nice. So I've said this before. You don't have 494 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: to win games for me to think you are a 495 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: good coach. I have to see your footprint on the team. 496 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: Very early with Sean McDermott, the defense got good by 497 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: year two without a lot without the players he has 498 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: now Sean McVay year one, Lincoln Riley usc can't fix everything. 499 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,479 Speaker 1: Goff went from bost to he may make a Pro 500 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: Bowl where Mike McDaniel and Robert sala have convinced me 501 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: the offense for the Dolphins may be the most creative 502 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: in the league. And Salah's fingerprints are all over that defense. 503 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: It is a e has really done an amazing job. 504 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: And some of that is you know, Sauce Gardner and 505 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: Quentin Williams. I mean, some of these are just great players. 506 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: But when I look at them, that's why I know 507 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: Robert Solder can coach. He because I do think there 508 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: are a lot of things that are out of your control. 509 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: Look at mcvaan. The offensive line for the Rams this year, 510 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do. They've had fourteen different offensive lines. 511 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: It's they were uniquely healthy last year, they're uniquely unhealthy 512 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: this year. So but it does raise something interesting with 513 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: Sala is that whereas Daniel Jones, I don't see anything special. 514 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's a little too cowboy for me, Johnny Manziel, 515 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: but you can see the arm like you can see 516 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: the feat. The question becomes because I think Salo is 517 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: in no danger. I think that I think everybody gets 518 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. But but but we said 519 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: this earlier. The only thing worse than making a mistake 520 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: on a quarterback in the first round is doubling down 521 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: on it. How long do you give Zach Wilson because 522 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: Mike White, my eyes tell me today is a better 523 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. And I think that's why they made the move. Right, 524 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: You don't want to make that move. Franchise building wise, 525 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: you just don't want to make that move, even if 526 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: it's I will put the young guy out for a 527 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: little bit. He can sit and watch and gather himself. 528 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: That's not usually awesome, Like Patrick Mahomes didn't gather himself. Now, 529 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: he was great from the start, but you know too, 530 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: I had to sit and watch and gather himself. I 531 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: don't think that's what fixed two. I think it was 532 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel. I know it was Mike McDaniel coming in 533 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: and giving him love and trading for Tyreek Hill and 534 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, creating talking about the scheme that you that 535 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned being so creative. But I just, you know, 536 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: I do believe that they're at a point. And remember 537 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: they're not at full strength. They've had some pretty brutal injuries, 538 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, starting with Beckton who you know, we don't 539 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: know how big that was, but you know, other injuries 540 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: on the line, Elijahbea Tucker, the running back Breeze Hall, 541 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: who had looked so good. So they've they've had some 542 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: impact injuries. I think that team is good enough now 543 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: that you can't afford to play a guy that you 544 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: hope is gonna you know, the franchise quarterback. And the 545 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: other thing is the locker room. You know, at some 546 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: point the players know and that's not okay, Like you 547 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: think Dwayne Brown, who's there at the end of his career, 548 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: or some of these guys want to hear that like, well, 549 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: maybe in a couple of years this will be great 550 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: for the Jets. They're like, dude, I'm out there, you know, 551 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: trying to win right now. And point Mike White's better 552 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: right now. And the other thing is I think you 553 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: know it's New York. Everything's amplified. There were rumblings that 554 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: in the locker room it wasn't going great with Zach Wilson. 555 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: You saw some players act out after that game, that 556 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: last one he started before now and then Zach Wilson 557 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: said something really stupid and there was a layup. He 558 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: missed a layup at the microphone. Right. He's a very 559 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: young guy. I don't I shudder to think how I 560 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: would have been on the microphone at that age. But 561 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,959 Speaker 1: you know, a layup is hey, Zach, do you think 562 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: do you feel like you let your teammates down in 563 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: this game? And you go, yeah, of course it starts 564 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: with me. I'm the quarterback. I need to play better. 565 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: We all need to play better. We're a team. But 566 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: I I'm the quarterback. I need to lead. I need 567 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: to you know, play better than I did today. That's 568 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: a layup. And when you when your answer is like, 569 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: not not me. If you were already struggling in the 570 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: locker room, that hurts you. Sala saw that put it 571 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: all together and was like, okay, we can't you know, 572 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: no more playtime we're trying to win a game now, 573 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: and I don't think Robert Sala looks at Mike White. 574 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: I haven't had this conversation with him, but I don't 575 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: believe he looks at Mike White and goes, hey, that's 576 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: my you know, that's my Joe Bontana. I think he's 577 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: just like this guy's better now. And if we blew 578 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: that pick, it's gonna be hard to survive it. But 579 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to figure that out after the season 580 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 1: or maybe while mature and get better. And you're right, 581 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: you do see you know, we haven't seen it as 582 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: much with Lance, but we've barely seen Lance. We've seen 583 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: it with Trevor Lawrence now and we kind of you know, Eddie, 584 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: Eddie had a rough, very very rough first year. Mac Jones. 585 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: We thought we saw something and then he got Patricia judged, 586 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: which is a whole other, you know, situation, and you know, 587 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: Davis Mills, we've seen a little and that's not going great. 588 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I gotta tell you he may not be perfect. 589 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:40,439 Speaker 1: And all that I've seen something, I've seen something. Yeah, 590 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: they're you know what I worry about. Jalen Hurts, Hurt 591 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: Lamar hurt. Yeah, Trey Lance got hurt running. Now Matt 592 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: Stafford's also hurt. Josh Allen would be hurt, but he's 593 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: six six, two sixty is yeah. So I do worry 594 00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: that these hyper athletic quarterbacks who can all throw you 595 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: know many Justin Fields doesn't have a good old line, 596 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: Lamar doesn't have good receiving cores. A Kyler may not 597 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: have a good coach. That when you're hyper athletic. By 598 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: the way, Josh Allen doesn't have a consistent run gamer 599 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: offensive line. That when you're hyper athletic and things aren't 600 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 1: going well high school and college, your makeup is I'm out, 601 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: I'm moving. So I don't think Justin Fields would run 602 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: nearly as much if he had legitimate receivers in an 603 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: old line right, and the threat of it would make 604 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: it even easier for him to have open guys. I 605 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: think the other point is over time, Like, I'm not 606 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: concerned about Josh Allen right now getting hurt as much 607 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: as I am, but over you know, Cam Newton had 608 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: a short career. You know, Ben Roethlisberger had to change 609 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: because it built up, you know, all those extending plays 610 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: he had to get rid of. The ball, you know, 611 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: much more quickly toward the end. But you know, you 612 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: look at how Cam Newton's career went, and you're like, 613 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: he was the MVP, was at a high level. Nobody 614 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: wanted to tackle him. He's so big an athletic. But 615 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: when it started to go, it went. And so I 616 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: just if I'm the Bills, I'm like, Okay, Josh, when 617 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: we need you to do one of those things to 618 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: win an important game or do something, I get it. 619 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: But if my number one priority with Josh Allen would 620 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: be figure out a way to not rely on that, 621 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: because over time you just don't want it. Yeah, Big 622 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: Ben and Cam Newton, you don't feel those And you know, 623 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: it's almost like Steve Young had a short career, right, 624 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, And I covered that, and Steve Young's impulse 625 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: was get out and go Now. Mike Shanahan came in 626 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator and really crafted a guy who 627 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: would sit back and read more. And he threw six 628 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns to the Super Bowl and you know whatever. But 629 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: you know, he had a short career too, So I 630 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: think it doesn't mean by the way the Bills would 631 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: take a short career of what they have now He's incredible, 632 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 1: but you'd rather have it be longer. This week's gold 633 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: Medal performance goes to a team who will see a 634 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: quick turnaround next year. Despite being eliminated from the playoffs, 635 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: the Rams future still pretty bright. They have a star quarterback, 636 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford announced he's coming back, Cooper Cup's coming back, 637 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's a great salesman, and LA recruits itself for 638 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: free agents. Asked Lincoln Riley in usc the Rams aren't 639 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: a bad franchise or a bad team. They were just 640 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: dealt a lot of bad luck with injuries. They'll be 641 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: back soon.

Metal Lark Media me Bally San Francisco Chronicle. 686 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: You have four employers, so you could have more, and 687 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: one boss who's down the hall over there, she's getting 688 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: ready for president. We all have that boss. Yes, yeah. 689 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: So I've always said, you'll your value is ultimately decided 690 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: on an open market. The media critics can like you 691 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: or not like you. You're on the open market. And 692 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: I said this about the Raiders and Derek Carr. It 693 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: may be time. I think you can make a valid 694 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: argument that the Raiders can move off him because they've 695 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: got some holes. And I think you can get a 696 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: first and a fifth or a first and a fourth 697 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: for him. Maybe it's a second and a fourth. I 698 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: don't know. But I also think Derek would have a 699 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: very dynamic market. I think if you put him in 700 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: New York with that defense and Bruce Hall. Hello, that's 701 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: a playoff team. So it's interesting you can be two 702 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: things at once. Have an excellent market and the Raiders 703 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: need to rebuild. He's not a dead cap hit and 704 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: Will Levis has a big arm. Josh McDaniels, Look what 705 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,720 Speaker 1: he did to Mac Jones year one. Look what's happened 706 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: to him since he left? What do you make of 707 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: car the Raiders, because I can see Mike them saying 708 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 1: we like him, but if we can get a second 709 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: one and a second three, because I think they already 710 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: have two five, multiple sixes. What do you make of 711 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders situation? Yeah, that's a great point, and I'm 712 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: going to see them in a couple of weeks and 713 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 1: I'll have a stronger opinion. But you know, I think 714 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: here's why that makes sense. Number one, the owner was 715 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: the owner had the wandering eye for years on car 716 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: wander Russell Wilson, you know he was. He was just 717 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: kind of like, hey, can we get a superstar for 718 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: the move to Vegas. I think they paid enough guys 719 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: around him that you could benefit from a situation where 720 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 1: your quarterback is on a rookie deal at first, right, 721 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: because you paid Waller, you paid Renfro, you paid Davante. Now, 722 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: DeVante came there because of Derek Carr, so you got 723 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: to deal with the politics of that. But you paid 724 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: Crosby as you should. You know, you paid Chandler Jones. 725 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you wish you hadn't, although you do now after 726 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: that one play. But yeah, so I think that's it. 727 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: And I do think Derek Carr would have a big market. 728 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: And by the way, Garoppolo as a bridge quarterback would 729 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: be on the table for Josh, depending on how he 730 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: feels about him. I think this is what I would 731 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: say about Derek Carr. He's very intelligent. You know, you 732 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: could definitely win with him. He might. He's not going 733 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: to elevate you the way Mahomes does. Who can. But 734 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 1: the sneaky thing about Derek Carr that people don't really 735 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: talk about is his clutch performance metrics are And maybe 736 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: I know this more because I covered a lot of 737 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: Raider games when he was in Oakland. He's got a 738 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,720 Speaker 1: lot of come from behind victories, clutch wins fourth quarters, 739 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: like it's not an anomaly. His numbers are very, very 740 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 1: close to the top since he's been in the league, 741 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 1: and I have to go look that up again. There's 742 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: different ways to measure it. But he's a guy who 743 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,359 Speaker 1: can take you back when you're down at the end 744 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: and lead that game winning drives. So yeah, I think 745 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 1: he'd have a real market. You know, some new guys 746 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: are going to come to the league, and Jimmy's out there, 747 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: but really it's not like we have this crazy abundance 748 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 1: of you know, frontline quarterbacks, and he would probably be 749 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: the most attractive free agent on the market other than 750 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, in recent years, other than Russell who was 751 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: kind of an anomaly, right and Brady who was an anomaly, 752 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: he'd probably be the guy that got the most hit. Well. 753 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: This year, Kirk Cousins has seven fourth quarter wins like 754 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: come from behind? Why because when you get to year 755 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 1: eight nine, Brady talked about this years ago. He's like, 756 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: I've seen every defense. Yeah, Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins 757 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: have trailed in a lot of games late. Yeah, you 758 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 1: know situation. Car's numbers have always it's weird, like if 759 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: you look back, even when they're not good, the teams 760 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: he's on, a lot of his wins were come from 761 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: behind in the fourth quarter. Kind of wish I had 762 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: the numbers in front of me. But yeah, no, you're right, 763 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: and he's in a stage where he's seen it and 764 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: he's you know, nobody is going to ever say Derek 765 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: Carr doesn't process it fast, or Derek Carr doesn't have 766 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 1: a grasp of the game. And also, you know, he 767 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: talked about franchise quarterbacks like he's gonna take it really seriously. 768 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: He's not gonna He's not gonna screw Yeah, So I 769 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: thought Joe Douglass, I think his last two drafts for 770 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,439 Speaker 1: the Jets have been really strong. Really like Breece Hall, Star, 771 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: Gardner Star, a couple of these wide receivers really special. Yeah, 772 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: Elijah Vera Tucker a really good pick. Yeah, best offensive 773 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: lineman us he's had eight years, ten years. If they 774 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: have another good draft with Derek Carr and that division, 775 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: that to me is a team that goes toe to 776 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: toe with Buffalo. I really believe that because Joe Douglas 777 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: is the secret sauce here. Those last two drafts. That 778 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 1: draft last year for the Jets, that was one of 779 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: the best. I think I said it at the time. 780 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't sure I've ever seen a team first four 781 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: picks all be starters and all potentially high end starters. 782 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 1: So the Giants are a rebuild. I mean they're on 783 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: line or receiving Corra mess. Like the Jets have to 784 00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,080 Speaker 1: clean up their own line and get the quarterback in 785 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: the in the free agent market. But the Jets have 786 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,439 Speaker 1: a lot of stars they're not paying anything to yet 787 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: nothing and they have like a three year runaway on them. Yeah, 788 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: the Jets I mean that division is going to be 789 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 1: tough because I think McDaniel is here to stay as 790 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: a force, and I know the Bills are set up. 791 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: I don't think the Patriots are particularly set up to thrive, 792 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: but that's another topic, trying not to kick them when 793 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,280 Speaker 1: they're down, and they should be down right now, because 794 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, when you pride yourself on your players always 795 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 1: knowing what to do in situational football, and in fairness 796 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,479 Speaker 1: to Bill, he earned that. They practice those things and 797 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: they go over arcane situation. So I know Belichick's head 798 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 1: has to be exploding, but man, that's probably if they 799 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs, that may well be the reason, 800 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,839 Speaker 1: right right. And it was insane and two players did 801 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: something insane and honestly builded something kind of weird by 802 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: hauling a draw play in the first place and then 803 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: saying I didn't think my quarter I could throw it 804 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 1: that far then take an right. I mean, I just 805 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 1: don't see. Do you really think Robody Stevens is going 806 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: to score on a draw from your own thirty or 807 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,720 Speaker 1: whatever or forty though? So okay, he's not going to score. 808 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 1: You've got time for one play, are you what else 809 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 1: could happen. I could fubble and they could scoop and score. 810 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,280 Speaker 1: That's not good. He could get concussed. That's probably bad. 811 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: So one of your other players could get hurt. Not good. 812 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,799 Speaker 1: He could ridiculously lateral it to a guy. Well, that's 813 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: kind of not good. That guy could then run backwards 814 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: like twelve yards and then throw across his body to 815 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 1: the middle of the field behind him to Mac Jones, 816 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: and then Chandler Jones could catch that ball in stride 817 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: and as I say in my ballet column that hasn't 818 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: come out yet, but I'll give you a preview, run 819 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: over him like a semi running over a pillow and 820 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 1: then proceeds in the end zone and win the game. 821 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 1: So that on Bill too. But yeah, the Jets are 822 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 1: in a good spot and the Giants, I don't know how. 823 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 1: I know Brian dave Ball should be at the very 824 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: forefront of the coach of the year conversation. And I 825 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: know Wake Martindale, the defensive coordinator, should be, in my opinion, 826 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: one of the very top guys in the head coaching 827 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: cycle because he did this in Baltimore most years too. 828 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: And he's had injuries and you look at their stats, 829 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,319 Speaker 1: not just total defense, but all the quarterback hits and 830 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: third down and all these different stats there. They are 831 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 1: higher than they should be based on the talent level. 832 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean the Giants literally can play one 833 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: way to win, can never get a can't forget a 834 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,400 Speaker 1: shootout if it's in the twenties. They're in danger the 835 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: fact that Dable is And I know that Robert Sali said, 836 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm judgmental, but I don't think Brian Joe. I don't 837 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: think Daniel Jones is it. I didn't like him in college. 838 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't like him in the pros. He's a backup. 839 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: He's a really good backup. Yeah, I mean he's like 840 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: a top three backup, but that's what he feels. I 841 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: can't build around Daniel Jones. I just can't. I am 842 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: equally judgmental when it comes to Daniel Jones, and I'm 843 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: trying to be less judgmental. And you know my older age, 844 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: but I would agree with you and I all I 845 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 1: can tell you is not just Daniel Jones. I looked 846 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 1: at that team and thought, that team's got a hard 847 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 1: time winning, you know, three to four games. Maybe Dave 848 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 1: All give him a little bump and let's say when 849 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 1: they were four and one. I texted a lot of 850 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: people in that building and I was like, I don't understand, 851 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: and they were like, we don't really understand either, man, 852 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 1: Like this is beyond what we thought could happen. So 853 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: give that those players and those coaches a lot of credit. 854 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: And Joe Shane, I mean, whatever they did, they're eight 855 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: five and one and they're probably gonna make the playoffs. 856 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: And if they don't, oh no, I mean still a 857 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 1: success story. It's a weapons league's quarterback weapons league. They 858 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 1: have a backup and no weapons and they may make 859 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 1: the playoff. It's insane. They have qu I mean, bless them, 860 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,359 Speaker 1: you know, a revived si Quan And yeah, and like 861 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 1: I again, Martindale, like you look at that defense. Okay, 862 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: well Timodeaux, we saw what he can do in this 863 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: last game. Obviously, Letter Williams is a good player. M 864 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: and you know, they got some guys like I kind 865 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,359 Speaker 1: of know who they are. They're pretty good. But like 866 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: ask a fan, like if you and I were sitting 867 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: having a burger at your awesome place in Hermosa and 868 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 1: someone walked in and they were like, oh hey, Colin, 869 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: I love your show. And we got into a conversation 870 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 1: with him or her and we said, hey, by the way, 871 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: you follow football, Yeah, I follow you play fast. Yeah. 872 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: What do you think of the New York Giants? I 873 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 1: don't know. Could you name four players on that defense? 874 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: And if you're if you're correct, we will give you 875 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:05,040 Speaker 1: free beer at this beer hall for life. I think 876 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 1: they would say I cannot. Let's right, No, it's yeah, 877 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: coach of the year day Ball's top three. And I 878 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 1: think Shanahan has to be in that conversation with three quarterbacks. 879 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely Shanahan because he's winning more. Also, the guy at Minnesota, yes, situationally, 880 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,239 Speaker 1: can't can't win eight one possession games or ten one 881 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: possession game. I defended Kevin O'Connell when people were freaking 882 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: out before the greatest comeback in NFL history last week. 883 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: I said, they said they have a negative point differential. 884 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: They're the worst ten and three team effort. I'm like, 885 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: that's amazing that they're ten and three. That's a testament 886 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,799 Speaker 1: to Kevin O'Connell and those players. If they're you know, 887 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,879 Speaker 1: you should be celebrating them. And then yeah, of course 888 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,760 Speaker 1: Nick Surrianti is going to get attention when you're thirteen 889 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: or one. You know it's hard not to. But we 890 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: should ask Michael Parson about that, because I know he 891 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,719 Speaker 1: wasn't a fan of Jailor Hurts as MVP. He might 892 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 1: not love the nixt Seriandi Coach of the Year campaign either. 893 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: Mike Silver, this has been absolutely great. Can I read 894 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: you one? I just got a text and I checked 895 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: it while we're on the air, because I saw the 896 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: initials about twenty minutes ago, and the text is from 897 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: Robert Sala and it says Cowherd to give a response 898 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 1: to my message question mark. So he was following up 899 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,759 Speaker 1: and I'm going to text him back now and I'm 900 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna say yes he did, and it will be on 901 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: this podcast, and like the rest of America, I'm sure 902 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Jets will be tuning in 903 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 1: and with great with great interest. No, I'm not, I'm not. 904 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 1: I've said ten times on the air. I can see 905 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: his impact all over that team. But when he when 906 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,799 Speaker 1: he pushes back on the you know, listen, I don't 907 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: mind being ripped. I get ripped and the critics don't 908 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,719 Speaker 1: like me fan whatever I like, I'm I get it, 909 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: but I think it's unfair because Robert benched him. I 910 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: didn't bend Zach Wilson Robert and he kissed Robert off 911 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 1: in a press conference, not me. You didn't draft him, 912 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,239 Speaker 1: you didn't bend him. You did not. Yeah, you did 913 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 1: not bothered to his press conference. But look, man, now 914 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 1: I'm all about the quarterback revival story you mentioned j 915 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, Geno Smith, Jimmy this year. Who saw that coming? 916 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:42,360 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson TUA like it's it's there. Man. Maybe there's 917 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback revival story for Zach Wilson, and this will 918 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 1: just make it all of the more dramatic.
