00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 3: But why don't we go back to the NFL and

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: let's go to Eric Mangini, former Jets head coach. He's

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: all over TV at f S Wood, always really looking sharp,

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: although I'm sure he's wearing shorts in this Eric, How was.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 4: Your fourth of July excellent or awesome?

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 5: Or how are we doing?

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 6: It was fourth of July. It was fantastic, had a

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 6: bunch of family in town. I had all the boys

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 6: at home and great Weather where I was as well,

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 6: So couldn't couldn't have asked for more.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 5: A peak behind the curtain.

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 3: So when I got to f S one, Eric man

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: Genie started coming on the shows, and I'm sure he

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: was annoyed, but I would pester him because I'm a

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: Jets fan.

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 5: I would just pepper him with all these Jets questions.

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: And he's really smart and thoughtful, and he would look

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: at me like, what is this guy's agenda?

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 5: But all I want to know about is my jets.

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: So you know you had Brian Schottenheimer as your offensive coordinator. Now,

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: my memories of him were probably not as great as yours.

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: I remember him being ultra conservative and boring, no creativity,

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: and that I thought held.

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 5: You guys back a little.

32
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: But he's now the coach of the Cowboys, and I'm

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: curious your thoughts on Brian Schottennhimer.

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 5: Is he almost underrated?

35
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 7: Yeah?

36
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 6: When the Cowboys hired him, it wasn't the typical Cowboys

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 6: higher right.

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 7: They want to get the splashy name, and.

39
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 6: Very different offseason for Dallas in general where they're not

40
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 6: over promising like they typically do. So there's a lot

41
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 6: of a lot of negativity around picking Brian. But what

42
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 6: people don't realize is Brian has as quality as any

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 6: other first year head coach. He's been in the league

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 6: a long time. He comes from a football family. When

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 6: I hired him, he was with the San Diego Chargers

46
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 6: at the time, and we had played the Charges of

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 6: the year before in New England and their offense was

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 6: really difficult to defend. There's shifting and motioning, multiple formations,

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 6: very creative and that's something that I wanted to bring

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 6: to the Jets, But there were other things that we

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 6: wanted to incorporate as well, And in sitting down with Brian,

52
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 6: he had strong beliefs as to what he wanted to do,

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 6: but he was open minded enough to incorporate a lot

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 6: of other things. Son, we were gonna take elements from

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 6: what we did in New England. We were gonna take

56
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 6: elements from what they did in New York prior to

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 6: us getting there and what they'd done with the Charges

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 6: as well, and build our offense. And that's what I

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 6: really like about Brian is that he is he has conviction,

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 6: but he's also willing to hear people out and to

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 6: incorporate new ideas and to try to innovate, And to me,

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 6: that's an undervalued asset for any head coach.

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 3: A little question though is and you can't put a

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: number on this, but there's some strong personalities on that team.

66
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: Adding Pickens obviously to Ceedee Lamb and then Michael Parsons.

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: And his podcast.

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: There's just a lot going on in Dallas and I

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: wonder for a first time a head coach.

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 5: I know his dad.

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: You know he's been around the league for a long time.

72
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: His dad obviously coach forever. Is that a lot to handle?

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: This is a like it would be much easier. Schottenheimer's

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: first coaching job was in like Jacksonville, Out of the spotlight.

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: Now you've got strong players, strong.

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: Owner, a lot of National TV games, America's team for

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: whoever still believes that it just feels like a little

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: too much for shoddy Well.

79
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 6: Anytime you bring in challenging personalities, you're gonna have to

80
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 6: navigate through that. Brian's always done a good job relating

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 6: to the players that that he's coached, especially the quarterbacks.

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 6: He's built long term relationships with all the guys that

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 6: he's coached at the quarterback position, and now you have

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: to expand that out. He did it as well as

85
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 6: an offensive coordinator, but now it's the whole team. Another

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 6: thing that's going overlooked is the addition of Matt Eberflus.

87
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: And you can say what you want about him as

88
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 6: a head coach, but he's an excellent defensive coordinator and

89
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 6: when he took over, when he took back over in Chicago,

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 6: the defense made some significant strides. I think he's going

91
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: to be excellent there really as a defensive coordinator. I

92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 6: think the other thing is he does bring head coaching experience.

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 6: He's fresh out of it, he's he's made mistakes, he's

94
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 6: he's gone through different challenges, and him and Brian have

95
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 6: a good relationship and that has significant value as well.

96
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's pivot to a team that really matters

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: this season, the Jets.

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: Well, not really, it don't matter. I just for my purposes,

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: Justin feels.

100
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: Aquarterback, new offensive coordinator, new head coach, first time head coach,

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: and Aaron Glenn. There's so much newness across the board. However,

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: last year Washington had a ton of newness owner coach, coordinators,

103
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: but they had experienced guys like you know, obviously Quinn

104
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: had had been to a Super Bowl. Like I just

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: don't see the Jets being great this year. But is

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: there a case for Justin Fields to dominate and crush it?

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 7: Well? I'm a big Aaron Glenn fan.

108
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 6: I coached Aaron Glenn when I was in New York

109
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 6: with Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick, so I know what

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 6: type of guy he is. And Aaron has gone through

111
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 6: the process. He started as a scout and then he

112
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 6: worked in personnel and he was an assistant coach coordinator,

113
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 6: so I think that that has a huge value. Plus

114
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 6: he was an exceptional player, so he brings that cache.

115
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 6: He's been with the organization, so that that higher I

116
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 6: thought was great. But he is inexperienced as a head coach,

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 6: and there's a lot of guys on a staff that

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 6: are in experienced as well. And then then that could

119
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 6: work both ways. That some bit is you're going to

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 6: make mistakes that maybe you wouldn't if you had had

121
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 6: gone through it, but there's also some freshness of ideas

122
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 6: that you you're not set in your way, so that

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 6: can be valuable as well. In terms of justin fields.

124
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 6: I like the signing in the sense that they've paid

125
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 6: what forty million dollars for two years, which is under

126
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 6: what most significantly under what most quarterbacks are getting for

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 6: one and he's improved every year that he's played. And

128
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 6: it hasn't been these gigantic jumps, but he's made he's

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: made jumps and completion percentage and interception of touchdown ratio

130
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 6: into the amount of sex that he's taken.

131
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 7: That you've seen, You've seen real progress.

132
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 6: And this is kind of the anti Jets experience, right,

133
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 6: So Jets quarterbacks go other places and hit, and now

134
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 6: the Jets are trying to take someone's quarterback that didn't

135
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 6: hit and turn him into a star. So maybe the

136
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 6: reverse engineering it will work great for New York.

137
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 5: I love the optimism.

138
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: All right, Let's quickly pivot here to Brett Zeitch, the

139
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: big boss at the Chiefs, you know, talking about Travis

140
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: Kelcey and essentially.

141
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 5: Was like, this might be it, like this could be

142
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: a Swan song. I don't know.

143
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: We're not taking it out of context. It's part of

144
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: a larger quote, but like it's an actual quote about

145
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: his fading if you will, thirty five soon to be

146
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: thirty six year old tight end. But we had Albert

147
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: Brewer come on earlier coach and essentially say, hey, the

148
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: Chief's offense could be better with the wide receivers healthy.

149
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: They might not need Kelsey to do that much.

150
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: Your thoughts on the Chiefs and.

151
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 6: Kelsey, Well, we dinged Kelsey for his season last year,

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 6: but he still had a great season where you have

153
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 6: ninety six catches that the touchdownds were down more than

154
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 6: who you would have liked. But what I didn't love

155
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 6: about Kelsey's off season last year was he was in

156
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 6: the new relationship with the most famous singer performer world.

157
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 7: So there's that component of it.

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 6: And I don't begrudge anybody from experiencing all the can experience.

159
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 6: But he was traveling a lot, he was doing things.

160
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: A lot of things collected are associated with that. And

161
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 6: then he had the TV show, he had the game show,

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 6: he had the podcast.

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 7: He was extremely active.

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 6: And this is after back to back shortened off seasons

165
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 6: because they had gone so deep with the Super Bowl appearances.

166
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 6: It's a lot, It's a lot, and I love that

167
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 6: this offseason he's been very low key. It seems like

168
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: he's taken a step back. He's gotten some time for

169
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 6: himself to recalibrate, and it does get harder as you

170
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 6: get older. But his approach this offseason I think has

171
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 6: been very different and will help him significantly. And you

172
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 6: could kill him for his production last year, but his

173
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 6: production last year was pretty good, you know, compared to

174
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 6: his peer group.

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: Compared to his peer group, yes, but like a couple

176
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: of years prior to that, he was.

177
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: Like totally dominant unstoppable.

178
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 3: I like, you must have been hanging around your kids

179
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: a lot, because you just used low key and that

180
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: was like the buzzword for us.

181
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 5: You know, I was gonna say.

182
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey is low key washed, but that might be

183
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: a little bit harsh, but.

184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: It sounds like you. You you know, that's a good point.

185
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: About his off seasons have been kind of sort of busy.

186
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: I forgot he hosted a game show.

187
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 7: He did everything last year.

188
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 6: It was commercials, there was travel, it was the high

189
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 6: profile relationship, it was the game show was remember the

190
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 6: I thought it was great, and the TV show it

191
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 6: was a grotesquery. I thought he did a great job

192
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 6: with that as well. Like you can, he was setting

193
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 6: himself for life after football, setting himself up after football,

194
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: and then I imagine as he went through last season

195
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 6: and the season ended the way that it did, now

196
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 6: he's not ready for life after football and he wants

197
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 6: to go run it back. And I'm sure it's year

198
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 6: to year now, but I dialed in focused. Travis Kelsey

199
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 6: is a dangerous study defense.

200
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 3: That's a great take because it reminds me of what

201
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield was with the Browns and led the NFL

202
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: and commercials and he just didn't really produce.

203
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 5: You you may be familiar with that era.

204
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 7: I look, I loved his commercials. I thought they were fantastic.

205
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: He actually really funny, but it didn't you know, it

206
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 6: didn't help him on the field.

207
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 7: At that point.

208
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, Eric Mangini breakfast Ball every show

209
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: at FS.

210
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 5: One very thoughtful former head coach.

211
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: You know, maybe maybe Glenn will bring you into training

212
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: camp to talk to the guys.

213
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: Sounds like you guys are friendly still.

214
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 6: I talked to Aaron not too long ago, and you know,

215
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 6: I haven't been back to Jets World and quite some time,

216
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 6: but I'm definitely sharing sharing for him. There's a lot

217
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 6: of former players now with Rabel at New England. I'm

218
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 6: excited for both those guys and I'm excited to see

219
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 6: what how they impact their programs and knowing their personality

220
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 6: and watching their stories.

221
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say Glenn's handled to New York media

222
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: well so far. So that's another one of your guys.

226
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,680

227
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 3: different ways of the podcast and the TV show and

228

256
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 9: No, no, no, this is the headline news.

257
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: Well j mac NBA tipped off their summer late. Oh

258
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: yes in Vegas, but all eyes will be on tonight's

259
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: matchup between the Mouns and Lakers, the Cooper Flag making

260
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: his debut against Ronnie James. Ticket prices are nearing record

261
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: prices for tonight, with the average ticket going for two

262
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty three dollars, which is just shy of

263
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: Wendy's Summer League debut at two hundred and ninety seven dollars.

264
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: But Cooper Flag is a real deal. He's a new

265
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: face of the franchise. I was extremely impressed when I

266
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: got to interview him when he was out here after

267
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 4: his college football season accepting his Wooden Award. I mean,

268
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 4: this kid eat, sleeps, breathes basketball. It's in his DNA.

269
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: Both of his parents played basketball. Is when brother plays

270
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: basketball He's older sibling plays basketball, and he told me

271
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 4: because I asked, like, are you going to take a

272
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: little break? What are you doing before the draft? So

273
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: this was pre draft.

274
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 5: He's like, well, I want to.

275
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: Keep practicing, and he's like, but my agent and my

276
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: family are forcing me to take a break. So this

277
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: is a kid that all he wants to do is

278
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: be the best that he can be get better every

279
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 4: single day. We heard it in his draft press conference

280
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: when he said, I just want to be a sponge

281
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: and soak everything up and be better. But this is

282
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 4: going to be an interesting and obviously it's going to

283
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: be a lot of eyeballs on this matchup tonight. Brownie

284
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 4: should be better because he has an NBA season under

285
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: his belt and he's played in NBA games. But what

286
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: are you expecting?

287
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: But I'm expecting us to leave the show tomorrow and

288
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: coo are I think? Giovann Bouha was on earlier and said, yeah,

289
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: twenty points seems realistic.

290
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: I just want to see that he's dominant right out

291
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: of the game. Should be able to be dominant.

292
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: You never can read too much into summer league, right, No,

293
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: you don't want to overreact, but you do want to

294
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: see your number one overall pick who I said is

295
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: going to move more than one MVP, who I've compared

296
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: to Kevin Garnett.

297
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: I want to see him from the paint.

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: Well, listen, Kevin Garnett didn't wasn't blowing away people in

299
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: Summer League. Yeah, but I think he can.

300
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 5: So I would go for anything short of twenty and

301
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 5: ten would be a little bit of a disappointment.

302
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean, but Cooper Flag has been blowing people

303
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: away since high school. He's breaking records in high school

304
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: is one year at dude, like it? But anything he's

305
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: going to do it, I don't think it.

306
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: I mean he's worked the last Okay, so when he's

307
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: like eleven years old, he's probably like, I'm going to

308
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: the NBA. Yeah that's what I was saying. Yeah, okay,

309
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: I had no chance. Yeah, Cooper Flag had a chance.

310
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: So for like seven years he's worked up to this moment.

311
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 5: Huh now he's here. Yeah, probably some butterflies.

312
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: He is so calm, cool and collected, Like when you

313
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: talk to this kid, like it's just this is what

314
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to be doing, and this is what I'm doing,

315
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: and here I am and I'm gonna do the best

316
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: that I can.

317
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: Ask for the brawny angle. I just want to see

318
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: improvement all around game. You know again, I said, can

319
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: he be TJ McConnell ish next year for the Lakers?

320
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: Maybe a stretch, but I think that's what he should

321
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 5: aim for. Like, look at this guy.

322
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: He's looked okay at moments he's in the Summer League.

323
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 4: Better, he's looked better. And I think people like all

324
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: need to remember before his rookie season he had cardiac

325
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: yeah in college, Like he was also fighting back from

326
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: a huge adversity. And he is another great athlete who

327
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: is obviously his dad is one of the greatest of

328
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: all time. So you're training with the best of the best.

329
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: But for Brownie this should be a big improvement. He

330
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: has NBA games under his belt, so he should be better.

331
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: Five o'clock, five o'clock pacifics eight Eastern.

332
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: Yes, feel arms all right to the NFL.

333
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 7: Well.

334
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll will take over the Raiders this offseason and

335
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: as looking to create a new culture in Las Vegas.

336
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: Face of the Raiders, Brosby says that it's not fake

337
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: energy from his new coach, adding things just feel different

338
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: in the building, which they should. Pete Carroll is a

339
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: culture creator and that's exactly what the Raiders need. That's

340
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 4: while they that's why they hired him. They have a

341
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: lot of new obviously this year with Pete Carroll. They

342
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: hired Chip Kelly as their offensive coordinator. Trader for Gina

343
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 4: Smith drafted Ashton gent. Now do I think the the

344
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 4: Raiders are going to win the division? No, like they

345
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: have Chiefs, Chargers and Broncos in that division. But I

346
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: do think that they're going to be better this year.

347
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: You I'm focusing on that not fake energy line? What

348
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: do you think this is a dig at the last

349
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: coach the line Piers. Piers came on and was like

350
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: very raw raw.

351
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 5: You know he's a former player. No, I wonder if No.

352
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: I think just because with heat there there comes a

353
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: lot with it. Obviously, like when he was at SC

354
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: you would have celebrities right this Like he's won at

355
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: every level and he knows what it takes to win.

356
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 5: So we're saying it's not fake. He is.

357
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: He is the real deal, is how I'm reading it

358
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 4: to that.

359
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: Oh, one of the producers not, I can't take credit

360
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: for this. That smart Josh McDaniels was a coach before Piers.

361
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 5: Okay, is the fake.

362
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: Energy of jem Now mcdannel's have been a guest on here.

363
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: He seems like a nice I I.

364
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: Would love to drill down.

365
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: Max Crosby not a fan of my work because I

366
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: didn't have it, like a top five defensive end and

367
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: all these fans.

368
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: I made a comment on the show. I was like, Max,

369
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 5: come on, dog, jeez, I can't blame them, though.

370
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: You got to believe in yourself, so you got to

371
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: call out people who also don't.

372
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 5: I didn't think he was a top five pass rush

373
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 5: in the league. Like, it's not bad if you're number six.

374
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: It's like what I call Michael Jordan the second greatest

375
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: player of all time?

376
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Jason, you're crazy.

377
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, he's the second greatest player ever in the

378
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 3: history of basketball.

379
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, let'st freakout.

380
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: Okay, let's move to baseball. We're Despite having the best

381
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: record in the National League, the Dodgers have been struggling

382
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 4: as of late, getting swept in back to back series

383
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 4: to the Astros and the Brewers dropping their sixth straight

384
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 4: game over the span. LA has struggled on all cylinders.

385
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 4: With a minus thirty four run differential, which is their

386
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 4: worst over a six game set since nineteen fifty eight.

387
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: And what I have to.

388
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: Say here to fans, baseball fans, Dodger fans, we're in

389
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 4: the dog days of summer. This is what happens in

390
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 4: a baseball season. When you play one hundred and sixty

391
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: two games, you are going to have ups and downs.

392
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: This is the time if you are going to have

393
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: a down, to do it because you're about to head

394
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 4: on the All Star breaks. So guys are about to

395
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 4: get a nice little reset and refresh. They do have

396
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 4: some good news. The good news is Tyler glassnow returned

397
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 4: yesterday he looked good. Blake Snell and Blake Triton are

398
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 4: nearing a return started their rehab assignments. Kershaw is overperforming.

399
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 4: He made history joining the three thousand strikeout club. And

400
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: then you have Otani who is ahead of schedule. There

401
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 4: is some bad news with the Dodgers. The bullpen is

402
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: getting taxed. Max Munsey is out until about August. But

403
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 4: also it's a bone brus on his knee, which was

404
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 4: best case scenario compared to possible. Everyone thought it might

405
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 4: have been an acl or something like that so MRI

406
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 4: showed no structural damage, so best case scenario there, and

407
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: then rope piece ofsaki also has no official return date.

408
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 4: The Dodgers have a lot of moving pieces. I wouldn't

409
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: look too much into this. This is a completely normal

410
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 4: baseball slump and actually happening at a good time, right

411
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 4: when guys can go take a break and reset.

412
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: So I'm looking at the run differential that on the screen.

413
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 3: It says outscore by thirty four runs significant. So before that,

414
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 3: the Dodgers were almost a one hundred run differential. Right,

415
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: the Cubs are number one by a mile.

416
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: But all of a sudden, are they still the best

417
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: record of baseball?

418
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 7: They do?

419
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 5: They do? That's the thing. The record is top.

420
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: It's just a little little six games start. Six games

421
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: is the equivalent of what like maybe a half a

422
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 3: bad NFL half a football like one game one half

423
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: of one game week.

424
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: So if you play one hundred and sixty two games.

425
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 5: I'm divided by self. Do the math. It's early, don't

426
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 5: basically play. The Chiefs are down twenty one nothing.

427
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 4: At a half time, maybe a quarter I.

428
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: Think it's close to maybe a quarterback either way. Yeah,

429
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: like you said, this is nothing that big Alex with

430
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: the news.

431
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping by The Herd.

Speaker 5: Back here on The Herd.

440
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: Jason McIntyre in for Colin Cowhert. So several years ago,

441
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: I forget where I was and I heard this guy

442
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: speak about gambling, and I was like, dude, he's next level,

443
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: Like I mean, this is his laser focus.

444
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 5: So let's bring on Adam.

445
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: Turnoff NFL gambling analyst. He's taking the leap. He hosts

446
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: a simple handicapped podcast. He's also taking the leap. He's

447
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: trying to go about this by himself or a men

448
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: among boys in the gambling space. All Right, Adam, last

449
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: time you were on the show, you killed me from

450
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: my Minnesota Vikings take. So I don't know if I

451
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 3: could bounce back from that one. You do not love

452
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: the vikings like I do, but I do want to

453
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 3: do some NFL win totals. Have you really circled anything

454
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: on the board here? A lot of folks are going

455
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: to be heading to Vegas in the summer months, and I

456
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: want to put some season long bets on the board.

457
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 5: What do you got?

458
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, so you didn't really give me any easy layups

459
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 11: to go with this week because you didn't really have

460
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 11: any crazy hot takes like your JJ McCarthy one. So

461
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 11: we'll try give some some other directions here for folks

462
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 11: to go and maybe throw some criticism at me instead

463
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 11: of you. So let's go some season long futures. I'll

464
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 11: give you three, Let's start with one, and I'll judge

465
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 11: your outrage as we go here. Trevor Lawrence to lead

466
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 11: the league in touchdowns, you can bet that at twenty

467
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 11: eight to one. And there's a few things here that

468
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 11: lead me to believe this is going to be Trevor

469
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 11: Lawrence's best career season.

470
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 9: In his career.

471
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 11: So, he's been dealing with Doug Peterson giving up play

472
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 11: calling duties. He's been dealing with an offense that's been

473
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 11: very disjointed. He's had the highest drop rate of any

474
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 11: quarterback the last three seasons combined, so it's not like

475
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 11: he hasn't been moving the football efficiently, and this year

476
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 11: to me, is just a big reset for him. He

477
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 11: gets Liam Cohen coming in, and the big thing Cohen's

478
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 11: going to do is introduce a very creative run game

479
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 11: that's going to take a lot of pressure off of him.

480
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 11: It's got a bona fide superstar wide receiver and Robinson

481
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 11: if he can find the number two and some help,

482
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 11: I think it's a very big year for Trevor Lawrence.

483
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 11: So twenty eight to one, it's probably pretty high in

484
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 11: the outrage of ameter, but maybe we can go a

485
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 11: little bit more with these other two.

486
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: Well I'm curious, so is the defense that bad that

487
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: they're going to be playing catch up a lot, because

488
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 3: you know, it seems like Cohen's a run first guy, run.

489
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 5: To set up the pass.

490
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: In Tampa, he had the three running backs who absolutely

491
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 3: crushed it.

492
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 9: Yeah it was.

493
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 11: And you look at Baker Mayfield's numbers and they absolutely

494
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 11: exploded last year for over forty five hundred yards. And

495
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 11: I think it's going to be a case of the

496
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 11: Jags being in a lot of competitive games because the

497
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 11: defense still has a long way to go. It's tough

498
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 11: to be worse than last year, but it'll be a

499
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 11: step forward. And if that run game is alleviating some

500
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 11: of the pressure and opening up some space, I think

501
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 11: not only is that going to help Lawrence find some

502
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 11: more open receivers, but it's also going to allow the

503
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 11: offense to take a big step forward too. So it's

504
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 11: a combo of both very friendly schedule, a lot of

505
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 11: indoor road games as well. There's four of them, So

506
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 11: just a lot of positive signs here and a big

507
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 11: price for Trevor Lawrence to have a big breakout year.

508
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: Well I like that because everybody crushed him for that contract.

509
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: Oh he's not worth it, Like, let's settle down. Your

510
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 3: next one involves Roma Dunza. Really the Chicago Bears. Oh

511
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: my gosh, it's crazy.

512
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 11: He's going to be the best wide receiver for the

513
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 11: Bears from a stats perspective, from a performance perspective. Personnel

514
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 11: guy within the league who I trust a ton when

515
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 11: it comes to player evaluation. I was talking with him

516
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 11: and I said, like, who's the breakout guy who's going

517
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 11: to stand out this year? And really, without hesitation, he said,

518
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 11: Roma Dunes is going to take a big leap last year.

519
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 11: You think about what the Bears went through, three different

520
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 11: play callers, a rookie QB coming in to try to

521
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 11: find this rookie wide receiver. It was just there was

522
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 11: so many moving parts, so much throwing at Williams and

523
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 11: this offense that's all entirely reset. Ben Johnson, one of

524
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 11: the best player callers in the NFL, is already holding

525
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 11: both Williams and a Dunza, as well as the entire

526
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 11: offense to a really high standard. There's a rebuilt offensive line.

527
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 11: I think it's a massive year for a Duneza. So

528
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 11: one thousand plus receiving yards for Rome is available at

529
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 11: plus one seventy five.

530
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 9: I think that's a great bet to make. I think

531
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 9: he goes over that.

532
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 11: If you're a fantasy player, he's definitely a guy you

533
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 11: want to circle as well.

534
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 9: This is a big year upcoming for Rome.

535
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 11: A Dunza maybe starts a little bit slow as that

536
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 11: offense finds its footing, but lots of opportunity for him

537
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 11: to catch a ton of passes.

538
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: Did I hear you correctly? He's the best receiver. You

539
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 3: think he's better than DJ Moore right now? I think

540
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: he will be the Bears wide receiver number one this year. Yes, spicy,

541
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: all right, your final one involves a guy we talked

542
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: about earlier, Jared Goff. Listen, we're not bullish on the

543
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: Lions in these waters. Sounds like you're not either.

544
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, I have win totals under on the Lions were

545
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 11: one of the first bets I made this spring when

546
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 11: all those numbers were posted. And I think about Jared

547
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 11: Goff and the support that he's received really the last

548
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 11: decade after his first year with Jeff Fisher leading that

549
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 11: Rams team, He's had Sean McVay in his ear for

550
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 11: several seasons, and then he had Ben Johnson in his

551
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 11: ear for several seasons in the transition to Detroit. You're

552
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 11: talking about a quarterback who has a very storied history

553
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 11: of needing help pre snap, lots of documented analysis commentary

554
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 11: about how much help he receives pre snap before that

555
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 11: communication cuts off with fifteen seconds to go, and he's

556
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 11: had two of the best in the business guiding him

557
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 11: through not only play calling, but reading it the line

558
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 11: of scrimmage, setting up plays. I know the Lions still

559
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 11: have a ton of pieces, but this is really a

560
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 11: big departure from having an elite play caller alongside of him,

561
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 11: a lot of brain power to replace for this Lion's

562
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 11: coaching staff. I think when you're looking at his passing

563
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 11: yards total, it's three eight hundred and seventy five and

564
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 11: a half yards.

565
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 9: I would happily go under that.

566
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 11: If you're still seeing that price again, have Lions win

567
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 11: totals under at ten and a half as well.

568
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: We must were contractually obligated to talk Kansas City Chiefs

569
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: because of Taylor Swift.

570
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes blah blah blah always.

571
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: I don't know, is it crazy to do one of

572
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: these missed the bet playoffs on the Chiefs. You could

573
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: say yes, I don't mind, because Albert Breer came on

574
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: earlier and said, listen, this offense, if the wide receivers

575
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: are healthy, could be better than last year, and they

576
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: had Pacheco kind of banged up last year. I don't

577
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: personally see it, but there's a I mean, hell, anything's possible.

578
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 11: Right Well, this is the first year in what three

579
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 11: or four that the Chiefs have gone into a season

580
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 11: with returning wide receivers. And I was just reading something

581
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 11: that came out of training sessions that the Chiefs had

582
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 11: a couple of days ago, and Patrick Mahomes was talking

583
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 11: about how this is not learning the playbook, This is

584
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 11: not relying on rookies this season to come in and

585
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 11: learn formations and learn snapcounts and learn cadence and learn

586
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 11: where to line up. They're talking about guys in the

587
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 11: huddle between the three wide receivers angry at each other

588
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 11: because they want to be the one that's featured catching

589
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 11: these passes in practice because everybody knows where to go

590
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 11: and knows where to line up, and everything is familiar.

591
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 11: So this season, in this offseason so far, has been

592
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 11: about expanding the playbook and expanding roles, which is very

593
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 11: different than the last It seems like a very long time.

594
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 11: We've talked about the Chiefs every season, who's going to

595
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 11: be the number one? How are they going to get

596
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 11: these young guys involved. That's not the case this year.

597
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 11: So I don't know how anybody can comfortably have lower

598
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 11: expectations on the Chiefs this year, especially the offense. I

599
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 11: think there's a very high ceiling with Mahomes and all

600
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 11: these guys returning to again, like Mahomes said the other day,

601
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 11: expand on the playbook and improve, so I wouldn't be

602
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 11: betting on them to miss the playoffs. I think that's

603
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 11: just offseason hyperbole that we see a ton every single year.

604
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 11: I think the Chiefs offense can be pretty scary.

605
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 5: This interesting Chiefs fans will love to hear that. I

606
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 5: mean more Kansas City Chiefs, Adam. That's what we did.

607
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 5: Are we got a minute left?

608
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 3: I will wrap up with a Jets question because you

609
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: are somehow a Jets fan, mister Canada Jets fan. I'm

610
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: not bullish on this year. I'm actually thinking if they

611
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: bought them out, it's a good quarterback class. Supposedly next year,

612
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. I get five six wins is not

613
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: the end of the world. We have made the playoffs

614
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: in forever. What's the rush now? Your thought on the

615
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: Jets macro big picture this year.

616
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 11: I think it's a great reset year. I'm happy that

617
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 11: we've seen Glenn take the approach that everything just needs

618
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 11: to be quiet this offseason. I think the roster still

619
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 11: has a lot of very good pieces that could make

620
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 11: them a very sneaky bet week to week, especially early

621
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 11: in the season. But yeah, like you said, I think

622
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 11: if they get out of this with six wins a

623
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 11: high draft pick next year, they're able to stabilize this

624
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 11: new coaching staff. It's a step in the right direction.

625
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 11: Anything more than that would be a very pleasant surprise

626
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 11: for me personally. But I think they're probably a sneaky

627
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 11: week to week underdog to be backing early on in

628
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 11: the season.

629
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,479

Speaker 11: Maybe they're gonna They're going to have inflated point spreads

633
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 11: and there's still again a lot of talent on this team.

634
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:04,400

00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: No, I think they will pull the Steelers.

639
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 11: Now I'm saying they're going to go and win and

640
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 11: shock the world, but they're going to be more competitive
