1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: RG three, newest edition to the Fox College Football Analyst Team.

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: He was on the call for his alma mater versus

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Auburn uh oh, and he'll have Delaware in Colorado coming

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: up this Saturday. Also check out his podcast out of

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: Pocket With RG three, we made a big deal about

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Arch Manning's debut. Not many players make their debut on

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: a national stage against the defending national champs on the road. Here,

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: it feels like we should be grading on a curve

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: here RG three because Peyton started out with who did

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: Peyton play?

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: East Carolina?

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: East Carolina? And then Eli started out with.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 4: Morgan State or something, yeah.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: Murray State, and then Arch starts out with Ohio State.

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: How do you okay, what do you take away from

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Arch's debut?

19
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 5: Well, Dan Payton also, you know, had a pretty bad

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 5: game against Washington's eight when he went seven to fourteen,

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 5: had a takeover and during that game, and they still

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 5: won that game ten to nine. But for me, with

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: Arch Manning, this is just the epitome of the media

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 5: building him up just to tear him back down. And

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people jumping ship on him, But

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 5: I do think you're allowed to say that he struggled.

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 5: He did, he misthrows mechanically. He looked like something was

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 5: bothering him. I don't know if maybe his shoulder was

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 5: hurting or something, but he wasn't following through in a

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 5: lot of his throws, and they were going at guy's ankles,

31
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 5: you know, really throughout the entirety of the game. So

32
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 5: I think for arch Listen, that manning name on the

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 5: back of your jersey is gonna add extra scrutiny to

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 5: everything that he does. But I don't think that he

35
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 5: now just doesn't know how to play football at all.

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 5: I think he had a bad game. I think we're

37
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: all allowed to have a bad day, and how he

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: responds moving forward throughout the rest of the season will

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: really determine all of his hopes and dreams being the

40
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 5: number one pick, you know, being a Heisman Trophy winner,

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 5: a Trophy candidate in general will all be determined by

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: how he played the rest of the year. But I

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: think people piling on him now are really just trying

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: to take shots at the mannings that they feel like

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 5: they've never had a true chance to do.

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: And I don't think that's right.

47
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: But this is what surprised me, probably the most. You

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: got Steve Sarcusian. He played the position. He's an offensive

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 2: minded head coach. You're going against a defense that led

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: is led by Matt Patricia, who, of course with Bill Belichick.

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: What could Matt Patricia possibly dial up scheme that Steve

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: Sarkisian wouldn't go, Hey, I've seen that before or I

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: haven't seen? Like what that's what everybody's like, Oh my gosh,

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: he's game plan you know, confused Texas. How many game

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: plan schemes can you have that's going to confuse Steve Sercuseian.

56
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dan, I don't think that they confused Texas at all.

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: And this is what I'm talking about. We had a

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: lot of people talking about how Arch was a generational

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 5: talent going into this game after him only starting three games.

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: Does his name a little bit to do with that?

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 5: Yes, But he also possesses a trait that the two

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: most famous Mannings that we know of with Peyton and Eli,

63
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 5: really didn't, which was his legs and his ability to

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: make plays as a scrambling quarterback and as a dual threat.

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: But on the other side of that, there's also the

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: protection of Arch, where they're saying, oh, it wasn't it

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 5: wasn't Arch, it was the scheme. I watched all the

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: tape three times and there are a countless amount of

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 5: plays that Arch didn't make in that game, or was

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 5: short on a throw first pass to the game, rolling

71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: to his right, throws it at his receiver's ankles. And

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 5: it's okay to bring that up because it's what the

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: tape says, and the eye in the sky doesn't lie.

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: But when you're a play caller like Steve Sarkisian and

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 5: you're drawing up these plays and they're there, they gave

76
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 5: him a lot of pure progression reads, which means it

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: doesn't matter what Matt Patricia calls here, you're going one

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: to two to three, and Arch was getting through his reads.

79
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: He just didn't make those throws. Now you're putting your

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: off behind the eight ball, second and long, third and long,

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: and those are places you don't want to be on

82
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 5: the road, going against the number three team in the country.

83
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: So I think all these things are very easily fixable.

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: But as you know, in this media game, it gets

85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 5: to extremes where people are piling on him too much

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: or they're protecting him too much. At the end of

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: the day, Arch Manning has to go out there and

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: make the plays that are there. I don't think Steve

89
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: Sarkisian was trying to protect him with his play calls.

90
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: I just think that it just wasn't their day. If

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: Alabama is averaged this season, finish that sentence.

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: Is what is average? Dan, give me a record.

93
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: Five loss four or five losses? Yeahs.

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

95
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: Kaitlyn de Boar's tired, and I'm a Kaitlyn Deboor guy.

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 5: He's been a winner everywhere he's been. Just to me

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: with Alabama. It kind of reminds me of like players

98
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: when they go to a different place and they find

99
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: success where they didn't have in the previous stop. Sometimes

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: it's not that the player can't play, they're just not

101
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: in the right system. It's not the right fit. And

102
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 5: for Kaylen de bor, if Alabama loses four to five

103
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 5: games this year, that doesn't fly. At Alabama, there's an

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: expectation of greatness and expectation of national championships, an expectation

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: of at least being in the national championship picture, and

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: September is going to be.

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: Very, very difficult.

108
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: They're playing Georgia here in a few weeks, and Kaylen

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: de Bor's leadership style is like the complete opposite in

110
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: contrast to Nick Saban and how he handled his team.

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 5: But I do believe that the fear factor of playing

112
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 5: against Bama has been eroded by a number of things,

113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 5: not just Saban not being there, but also nil the

114
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: transfer portal. Bama's just not as deep as it used

115
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: to be and doesn't have that factor of hey, our

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 5: three deep is better than your starters because those three

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 5: deeps are now playing at other schools, which is leveling

118
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 5: the playing field in college football. So that's my long

119
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 5: way of answering and saying I love Kaylen Debor.

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: I think he's a great coach.

121
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: He just might not be the coach for Alabama, but

122
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 5: if he wins and they end up being in the

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 5: national championship picture, I do think that he survives.

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: Talking to RG three foks college football analyst and his

125
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: podcast out of Pocket with RG three, Yeah, I remember

126
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: when Kaylen de Boor joined us when he went to Alabama.

127
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 2: I said, do you know what you're getting into?

128
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: And he was.

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: Like yeah, And I'm like, even if you think you

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: know what you're getting into You're not. It'd be like

131
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: trying to be the president of the United States. You

132
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: know what you're getting into. I think yeah, I think no.

133
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: You have no idea, even Belichick getting into college football. Okay,

134
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: seventy new players and you're having eighteen and nineteen year olds.

135
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: You know this isn't NFL. You know, veterans taking care

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: of business.

137
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 4: Seventy new players. Yeah, I don't know.

138
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: Like, if they win eight games, that's probably what is expected.

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: But after last night, if I said eight wins over under,

140
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: you would take I'd.

141
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: Take me under.

142
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: There's a deeper conversation here with Bill Belichick in this

143
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 5: North Carolina team as well. You talk about those seventy

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: new players you mentioned jan in the NFL. These guys

145
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 5: are trying to, you know, put food on the plates

146
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: of their family, right, grown men. They understand their responsibilities.

147
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 5: They take it as a job. Those seventy new players

148
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: are trying to figure out where the utensils go at

149
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 5: the dinner table.

150
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: Right.

151
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: So these guys, these are young men, and you're having

152
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: to mold them.

153
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying, hey, throw in the towel on

154
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 5: Bill Belichick and Lombardi and what they're trying to build

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 5: there at Chapel Hill. What I am saying is that

156
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: it was not recognizable for a Bill Belichick football team.

157
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: He always talks about doing your job.

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 5: They lost a turnover battle right one through an interception,

159
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: had four fumbles and they lost only two of them.

160
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: But they gave up one hundred yard rusher, they gave

161
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 5: up one hundred yard receiver, and then quarterback Josh Hoover

162
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 5: threw for two hundred and eighty four yards. So for me,

163
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: you watch the defense, no gap, integrity, no identity. They

164
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 5: weren't running to the football. And Kendall Browns is the

165
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 5: offensive coordinator for TCU and he was our receiver coach

166
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: when I was in college, and I haven't had a

167
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: chance to talk to him yet, but I know for

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: a fact that every single college coach that is going

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 5: to face Bill Belichick this year is licking their chops

170
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: to show him and show his staff that their scheme

171
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: is better than his, because for decades now, DAN NFL

172
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 5: coaches have silently been telling college coaches, hey man, that

173
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 5: college stuff don't work up here. And now he's going

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 5: to the college realm and they're all going to be saying, huh, Hey, Bill,

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 5: that NFL stuff don't work over here. They they're going

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: to use this as fuel to the fire because I

177
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 5: know a lot of players feel the same way that

178
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 5: the college coaches do. Why aren't we running more of

179
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 5: these college schemes in the NFL.

180
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: Explain that to you, Explain that to me in our audience.

181
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: So what exactly is it the North Carolina is trying

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: to do that It is going to be to their detriment.

183
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: First and foremost.

184
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: When you talk about the NFL game compared to the

185
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 5: college game, the biggest difference isn't just the age of

186
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 5: the guys in the maturity level, it's also the hash marks.

187
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: So in college football, the hashes are much wider, so

188
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 5: your boundary side of the field is shorter and the

189
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: field is much wider, So some of the gap responsibilities

190
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: that Bill Belichick is used to because of the tight

191
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 5: hashes in the NFL they go by the wayside. I've

192
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 5: had many NFL defensive coordinators when I played in college

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 5: come to college and didn't know how to play college

194
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 5: quarters because of the hash marks. Now you got a

195
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: safety playing quarters with way more field that he has

196
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: to cover on the field side, putting him in one

197
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 5: on one matchups. It's why coverage in college football from

198
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 5: the safety position is more important than it's ever been

199
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: in the NFL because you can hide those guys and

200
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 5: not have them on an island against a guy who

201
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 5: runs a four to two. So when you look at

202
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: Belichick and what their adjustments are going to have to be,

203
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 5: it's the tempo NFL. Most teams are only used to

204
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: Temple and two minae durals. I would just call Baylor

205
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: versus Auburn. Both teams are in Temple the entire game.

206
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: It was hard to get a replay in. They're gonna

207
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: have to They're gonna have to adjust to those types

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: of things. And then it's the it's the new guys.

209
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: You brought in Go Lopez from South Alabama. You got

210
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 5: Max Johnson there who came at the end of the

211
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 5: game and played well although the game was already out

212
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 5: of hand. Who's going to be your quarterback, Who's going

213
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 5: to be your difference maker? In college, that's way more

214
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: important than it is at the NFL level. If you

215
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: get one Lamar Jackson in college, you can win eight games.

216
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

217
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: You need Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry and Za Flowers

218
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 5: and Marlon Humphrey. And that's what I think Bill is

219
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 5: more used to is those already pre qualified players that

220
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 5: he knows are going to be where they're supposed to be.

221
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 5: Now coming to the college ranks, it's just a lot different.

222
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: And TCU exploited that. Sonny Dyke said, Hey, they're talking

223
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 5: about Bill, they should be talking about us.

224
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: And I think they prove that.

225
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you talk about a quarterback, make a difference,

226
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: like you with Baylor, like Cam at Auburn. Who's the

227
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: greatest college quarterback of all time?

228
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: In your opinion?

229
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 5: The greatest college quarterback of all time? Just from a

230
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 5: pure accolade standpoint, you know, I'd have to go with

231
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 5: Tim Tebow. I think what he was able to accomplish

232
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 5: at Florida the speech is.

233
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: How about one year, one year, one year greatest college quarterback?

234
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna exclude myself.

235
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: From the summers of course you should.

236
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: Uh is going to put that out less you feel

237
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: like you're you had the greatest single.

238
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I just think I think what we were

239
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 5: able to accomplish that Baylor hasn't been accomplished in anywhere else.

240
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: And the turnaround that we did. But it's a conversation

241
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: for another time.

242
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: Again, I would say from a single greatest year, Man,

243
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: it's it's it's Cam Newton. It has to be Cam

244
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: going from Blenn going to Auburn.

245
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

246
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 5: And what he was able to pull off, like some

247
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 5: of those quarterback powers, Dan, I don't think anybody in

248
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 5: the stadium wanted to tackle Cam on those quarterback powers.

249
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

250
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: And to see like he lined up a wide receiver

251
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: and Moss the dB like like he was doing it

252
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: all that year.

253
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 3: And I know Cam, Uh. You know, we talk a lot.

254
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: We compete in overtime seven on seven with our with

255
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 5: our seven on seven football teams.

256
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: UH.

257
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: And Cam is he's out there, you know, the clothes,

258
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 5: the hats, he does his thing. He's got his own swag.

259
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 5: But when you talk about on the football field, that's

260
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 5: probably the single greatest season I've ever seen.

261
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 4: How do the Eagles not go to the Super Bowl?

262
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: They don't stay healthy? When you we talked about the

263
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 5: dynasty that is the Chiefs. The Chiefs wore a dynasty.

264
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 5: They were trying to do something that had never been

265
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: done before. Now I think the Eagles have kind of

266
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 5: taken that mantle of all right, let's go and repeat

267
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: and see if we can build this thing over time.

268
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 5: They're healthy, they're healthy right now. Obviously the combination of

269
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 5: it's like the Big five for.

270
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: Them on offense.

271
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's Jalen Hurts, It's Sakwon Barkley, AJ Brown,

272
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 5: Devonte Smith and Dallas Goddard. That big five right there

273
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 5: is certainly the best big five, uh in the NFL,

274
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 5: because it's never been a Big five day and it's.

275
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: Always been like a Big three or a Big two.

276
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: So I think for the Eagles, as long as they

277
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 5: you know, don't get complacent. They're they're the favorite to

278
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 5: repeat a Super Bowl champs. It's just going to come

279
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 5: down to them staying healthy. And I think Nick Sirianni

280
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 5: is actually one of the best coaches in the NFL

281
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: and doesn't get enough credit for what he's been able

282
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: to do to keep that team together and.

283
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: Focused over the last few years.

284
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: What should like to go back to pass and you

285
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: have somebody with the athleticism of Michaeh. Parsons like like

286
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: like the it's a split second and you know he's there,

287
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: you got to kind of keep an eye well, you

288
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: tell me you're going back to pass and you know

289
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: he's there.

290
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: What is that feeling like for a quarterback?

291
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: Oh, it's uh, it's it's nightmarish, I would say, because

292
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 5: because Micah isn't just your Like I knew when I

293
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: when I played DeMarcus where and we were playing with

294
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: the Restings at the time and against the Dallas Cowboys,

295
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: I knew I could get away from DeMarcus because I

296
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: was I was more athletic than DeMarcus. But with Micah, like,

297
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 5: Micah beat Tyreek Hill in a race now, and I

298
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 5: know Tyreek was was kind of jogging whatever, but still, uh,

299
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: that was impressive. So you know, with Micah has changed

300
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: the direction his acceleration and his speed. He can't he

301
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 5: cannot only hit you hard, but he can run you down.

302
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 5: So I know you're getting into the of like the

303
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys and making that trade. It doesn't make any

304
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 5: sense to me because you kind of paid Duran Bland

305
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 5: to kind of distract from the fact that you traded

306
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: away Micah Parsons. And I'm always for guys getting the bread.

307
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 5: I'm happy for Doran, but we're not gonna forget that

308
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 5: you just trade or traded away the actual generational talent

309
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 5: that you've been looking for, and you got only two

310
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: first round picks form and those two first round picks,

311
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: you know what they're you're hoping they become. Then you're

312
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 5: hoping they become Micah Parsons. So that to me, you

313
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: got to get at least three first round picks for

314
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: him if you're going to trade them away. I've heard

315
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 5: a lot of stuff behind the scenes when it comes

316
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: to Micah, but on the football field, his production is

317
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 5: very hard to replicate. You have to ask yourself who's

318
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: in a better position now to win the Super Bowl?

319
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: Is it the Dallas Cowboys or is it the Green

320
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 5: Bay Packers? And I think overwhelmingly it's the Green Bay Packers.

321
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you as always, have fun, safe

322

340
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Luke Decock Raleigh News and Observer sports columnists for seventeen

341
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: years covering North Carolina football. Well, last time I had

342
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: you on, I don't know how optimistic you sounded there,

343
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: but house morale in North Carolina today.

344
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think it's fair to say that

345
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 8: things did kna go was planned in the Bill Belichick

346
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 8: debut last night.

347
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny.

348
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 8: The first six minutes they get out their eighty three

349
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 8: yard touchdown drive, very clean, very crisp three and out

350
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 8: on their first defensive series, and you were like, oh, hey,

351
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 8: you know, maybe these guys did split the atom. And

352
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 8: then the next fifty four minutes looked like pretty much

353
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 8: every era of North Carolina football and the history of

354
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 8: North Carolina football. The talent level, I think is the

355
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 8: more disturbing thing than the coaching. It just, you know,

356
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 8: it looked almost like one of the late David Cutcliffe

357
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 8: era duke teams or where you're just kind of getting

358
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 8: beat at every position. The secondary was full of transfers.

359
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 8: It got torn apart. Their two best offensive players were

360
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 8: guys who were holdovers from the Mac Brown era. It

361
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 8: just it did not look like an acc caliber team.

362
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 8: It looked like, you know, a stew of a bunch

363
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 8: of things thrown together hoping that the celebrity chef could

364
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 8: make something out of it. And you know, you're up

365
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 8: against an established program with a philosophy and a foundation

366
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 8: and a background. And TCU did what you would expect

367
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 8: them to do. They went up against the team they

368
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 8: didn't know anything about. They made quick adjustments, effective adjustments,

369
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 8: and unc never adjusted. It was, you know, kind of

370
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 8: the debacle. The last time you and I talked, we're like,

371
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 8: how bad could this potentially get? I think this is

372
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 8: how bad it could potentially get.

373
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: Okay, it is one game, and I always caution people

374
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: whether they're criticizing Arch Manning or Alabama or it's one game.

375
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 2: But there can be breadcrumbs that are put down that

376
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: you go. I don't know, if I keep following this,

377
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: it may end up worse than this. I think the

378
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: over under was eight and a half for Carolina. Where

379
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: would you stand on that bet today?

380
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm still under. I mean I think to get

381
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 8: to nine wins time wins, you had to win this one.

382
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 8: That's kind of predicated on getting off to a good start.

383
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 8: You know, you win the TCU game, You've got all

384
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 8: this hype. You've got Michael Jordan, Lawrence Taylor, Mia hamm

385
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 8: Roy Williams. Not that Roy miss is a UNC football game,

386
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 8: but you had the national sports world watching, and you know,

387
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 8: Herb Street and Rhys Davis and Pat McAfee and Herbie's

388
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 8: dog and like everybody on the planets watching this football game.

389
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 8: And you're trying to capture all this momentum. You had

390
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 8: nine months to prepare. The eyes of the world are

391
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 8: on Chapel Hill. You've got all these stuff that they've trademarked,

392
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 8: Chapel Bill and Bill's version and all this stuff, and

393
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 8: then you ought to lay an egg like that. It

394
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 8: certainly if this was going to be what we had

395
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 8: been pitched, what the unc boosters and trustees had paid

396
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 8: all these millions of dollars for It was not going

397
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 8: to look like this.

398
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: Off the hop.

399
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 8: Now, yeah, it doesn't mean that they can't regroup and

400
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 8: figure things out and maybe make some changes in terms

401
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 8: of who's playing and who's on the depth chart. But

402
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 8: you know, the vision that was out there did not

403
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 8: start like this. This was pretty grim. And to be honest,

404
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 8: that second half, you know, TCU comes out, scores a

405
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 8: seventy five yard touchdown on the first play, Carolina costs

406
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 8: it up for another TCU touchdown. I mean it, it's

407
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 8: you know, I hate to say like a team quit,

408
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 8: but it did look like Carolina ran out of gas

409
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 8: physically and emotionally and just couldn't keep up in the

410
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 8: second half. That's not a great sign in terms of

411
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 8: what are the breadcrumbs in terms of what could work

412
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 8: going forward? When you had six minutes of good football

413
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 8: that you had nine months to prepare for and everything

414
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 8: else fell apart after that.

415
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I was going to bring up, Luke,

416
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: that you had all this time to prepare for this opponent,

417
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: you bring in seventy new players. Yes, you have Bill Belichick,

418
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: the King of adjustments, and I'm thinking, all right, TCU

419
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: is showing some life here. Offensively, Bill will make changes.

420
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: He did that famously with the Patriots. I just don't

421
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: know if you can ask an eighteen or nineteen or

422
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 2: twenty year old to make adjustments on the fly like

423
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: he was asking professionals in New England. And maybe he

424
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: didn't have the talent that he thought, because there felt

425
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: like a real disparity, you know, in the second half

426
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: of the haves and the have nots, and.

427
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 8: I honestly think it could have been worse than the

428
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 8: first half. There were opportunities for TCU to throw the

429
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 8: ball that they weren't taking because they really were you know,

430
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 8: like it's football, right, We're going to establish the run

431
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 8: game and get our go through our scheme and get

432
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 8: everything set up. And there were chances to take shots

433
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 8: deep against North Carolina secondary in the first half the

434
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 8: TCU passed on.

435
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 3: They did not in the second half.

436
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 8: And that would be the number one thing that would

437
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 8: worry me if I were Bill Belichick, you know, mister defense.

438
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 8: I mean, maybe there just weren't enough lacross players out there,

439
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 8: but the secondary's inability to cover and then the inability

440
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 8: to get pressure. I mean, it was just sort of

441
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 8: a cascading series of failures on defense, and then what

442
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 8: happened at that point the second half is the complete

443
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 8: inability to tackle. So now we've gone from adjustments to

444
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 8: cascading failures to just fundamentals. And if I'm Bill Belichick,

445
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 8: that what's going to keep me up last night more

446
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 8: than anything is we put together a roster that not

447
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 8: only can't make the adjustments you're talking about, but can't

448
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 8: do the basic things we need to do just to

449
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 8: win football games.

450
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: Talking to Luke de Kott, he's a sports columnist Raleigh

451
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 2: News and Observer covering North Carolina football for seventeen years.

452
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: Clemson at home in five weeks, Well.

453
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, look, Charlotte on the road. I mean, now,

454
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 8: it's your first road game, short turnaround from Monday to Saturday.

455
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 8: You got a lot of things you need to fix.

456
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 8: You got a million dollar quarterback who look terrible and

457
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 8: has a sore back. Now, there are issues with this team,

458
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 8: even if they had won this game, that have to

459
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 8: be resolved before the Charlotte get Now, look, Charlotte struggled

460
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 8: in their opener. This is a game that you know,

461
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: it's crazy, Uns, he's gone on the road. This game

462
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 8: was set up years ago, as we all know in

463
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 8: college football, but this is no gimme. I mean, they

464
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 8: have got to get out there and find a way

465
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 8: to execute and do the things that they did on

466
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 8: that first drive and failed to do. It was just,

467
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 8: you know, the students were leaving, Like the third quarter

468
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 8: wasn't even half over. The students were gone by the

469
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 8: end of the third quarter. The boosters who paid for

470
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 8: this were gone. I mean, it was just the way

471
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 8: that balloon punk was punctured and burst and that air

472
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 8: just went out of everything. That's tough for players too,

473
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 8: like they have to get back to where they were

474
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 8: going into this game to play a team that they're

475
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 8: not going to be excited about playing. Forget about Clemson,

476
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 8: I mean that you've got to get ready to play Charlotte,

477
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 8: which is the kind of game that you would say, oh,

478
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 8: this is a potential letdown game. I mean, app State

479
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 8: and East Carolina are always tough games for these schools,

480
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 8: for UNC and Duke in State because those are the

481
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 8: biggest games on the calendar for those teams. And now

482
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 8: Carolina's got to go play in one of those games

483
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 8: against a team that's, you know, like everybody else this

484
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 8: season is going to be really fired up about the

485
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 8: chance to prove itself against Bill Belichick.

486
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: How patient should people be? How patient will the Boosters

487
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: be with Bill?

488
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 8: Boosters are going to be patient because they're pot committed now,

489
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 8: They've got no choice. I mean, they're there, this is

490
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 8: they made this bed. They're gonna have to sleep in it.

491
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 8: I think based on the fan reaction last night, the

492
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 8: patience has already gone. It's it's a little unfair. And look,

493
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 8: Carolina brought this on himself. Bill Belichick brought this on himself.

494
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 8: Michael Lombardi brought this on himself. They talked that they

495
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 8: had untied the college football not they were gonna come in.

496
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 8: They were smarter than everybody else, they were better than

497
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 8: everybody else. And it turned like I'm telling you right now,

498
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 8: Dave dorn Over in Raleigh, the NC State coach last night,

499
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 8: I guarantee you he had a cigar, he had a

500
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 8: solo cup of whiskey. He's got his feet up, he's

501
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 8: laughing his butt off, like these guys just came in.

502
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 8: We are so much better than you. We have this

503
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 8: figured out. We have Super Bowl rings and they got there.

504
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 8: You know, they got embarrassed in their first college game.

505
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 8: I think the fans saw that too. There was a

506
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 8: very strong element of the Emperor's.

507
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: New clothes last night.

508
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 8: You know, I joked in my column like, you know,

509
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 8: forget the cutoff sleeves. Belichick got pants last night, like

510
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 8: he got exposed, and that, I think, more than anything,

511
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 8: really sort of put a pin in the idea that

512
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 8: you know, the UNC is going to be in the

513
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 8: CFP and they're going to revolutionize college football and you

514
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,479
Speaker 8: know they've got a new paradigm. I mean, it was

515
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 8: to get beat like that, to be out talented and

516
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 8: out coached and out adjusted, and to see what we've

517
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 8: known all on right. TCU out there out there tweeting

518
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 8: an image of the Hulu series and saying when's the

519
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 8: first episode? Like everybody is gunning for these guys and

520
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 8: they were totally unprepared for So I mean, to me,

521
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 8: the patience has already gone. People are just kind of

522
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 8: wondering how bad it's going to be. And again, look,

523
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 8: we talked about this a second ago. This is maybe

524
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 8: not the way the whole season is going to go, right,

525
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 8: Like you can get better. And if Bill Belichick is

526
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 8: the coach that he says he is and that UNC's

527
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 8: boosters are paying for, they will get better and they

528
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 8: will learn from this. And now they have film and

529
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 8: they know who they can trust in who they can't.

530
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 8: But you know, and if this was John summerl or

531
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 8: Jeff Monkin or any of the other coaches they could

532
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 8: have hired, we all be saying, hey, what did you expect?

533
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 8: They have seventy new players, right, this is turnover. There's

534
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 8: gonna be growing pains, and this is gonna take time.

535
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 8: But that's not what Bill Belichick said. That's not what

536
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 8: he promised. They were coming in to change college football,

537
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 8: to be the thirty third NFL team. And I'm gonna

538
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 8: make the same joke I made this the last time

539
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 8: I was with you. Like, yes, this was very Cleveland

540
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 8: Brown's esque. It was very much the thirty third NFL team.

541
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: Just to confirm North Carolina is still a basketball school.

542
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 8: I mean, the only Jordan that still matters?

543
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: Oh is Michael Well? Weren't they together with the dignitaries

544
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: up there a h Lawrence.

545
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 8: Taylor and Roy But hey, you know it's to me,

546
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 8: to me, this almost puts more pressure on Hubert Davis

547
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 8: because basketball is gonna have to make up for this.

548
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: You know, the uniform still looked good last night, though, Luke,

549
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: that's the most important thing.

550
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: Of course. Yes, great to talk to you.

551
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: I look forward to talking to you maybe after week

552
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: five when North Carolina is shocks Clemson and then what

553
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: are you going to write in your column? Then?

554
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 8: I mean, hey, look man, I'm perfectly compared for my

555
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 8: own come up, and so they can turn this around.

556
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 8: But based on the early returns, I don't necessarily think

557
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 8: that's likely.

558
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: It's certainly possible.

559
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:14,720

Speaker 2: and Micah Parson's working through a back issue. He is

Speaker 2: expected to play in week one and may need an epidural.

567
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of NFL news, Albert Breer, the Monday Morning Quarterback

568
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: senior NFL reporter who was also at the Ohio State

569
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: Texas game. Being in Ohio State, apologies there. What would

570
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: you wait, Okay, your takeaway from arch Manning was what he's.

571
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 9: A kid in his first game as the true starting quarterback,

572
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 9: his first game against an elite opponent, and I actually

573
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 9: thought he showed some resilience making some big time throws

574
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 9: at the end of the game. There was the one

575
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 9: to There was one for the touchdown down the right sideline.

576
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 9: There was the one to the tight end down the

577
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 9: left sideline on the final possession of the game.

578
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: So was it perfect?

579
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 9: No? I mean, Dan, I just look, and I've been

580
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 9: saying this for four months, like, I just think it's

581
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 9: as nine that anybody's projecting him to be the number

582
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 9: one pick in the draft.

583
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 3: We don't know he might become that, but you know, I.

584
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 9: Think there's so little that we've seen at this point

585
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 9: in scouts will tell you this is like, there's so

586
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 9: little you can take from two starts against a directional

587
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 9: school and what was the worst team in the SEC

588
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 9: last year. You don't know what's going to happen when

589
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 9: he gets knocked around a little bit. You don't know

590
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 9: what's going to happen when teams get five, six, seven

591
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 9: games of tape on him and now they're able to

592
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 9: game plan him.

593
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: You don't know what's going to happen when he plays

594
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 3: in opponent.

595
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 9: And this is a process that all young quarterbacks have

596
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 9: to go through.

597
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: And because of his last name, he's.

598
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 9: Been elevated to this level where.

599
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: The expectations are almost impossible.

600
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 9: I mean, go back and look at like what cam

601
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 9: Ward's first five or six games at Washington State looked

602
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 9: like when he went from Incarnate Word to Washington State. Now,

603
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 9: this is the guy who became the first pick in

604
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 9: the draft, right and he'd play. He had started for

605
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 9: two years at a lower level of college football, and

606
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 9: I think there was a i want to say, a

607
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 9: four game stretch where he threw seven picks. Nobody cared

608
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 9: because his last name's Ward, not Manning, you know. So yeah,

609
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 9: I think there's a lot of talent there. I think

610
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 9: the kid's got a great head on his shoulders by

611
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 9: all accounts. Like you know, I talked to Quinn Yours

612
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 9: about him earlier in the offseason, and Quinn loves him.

613
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 9: And that's a kid who would have every reason not

614
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 9: to like him. Loves him, you know. And I've even

615
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 9: seen some things that Archie has said that show a

616
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 9: tremendous amount of self awareness, you know, like where he

617
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 9: says things like, you know, I can't wait to see

618
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 9: what it looks like when I have I throw my

619
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 9: first pick, and now everybody goes from thinking I'm the

620
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 9: best player in the world to the worst player in

621
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 9: the world.

622
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 6: You know.

623
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: I think he's got the head and the talent to

624
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: work through all this.

625
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 9: But I think what you saw on Saturday was part

626
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 9: of the process of becoming a big time quarterback.

627
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: Will be less patient with Bill Belichick and the results

628
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: at North Carolina. What would you say would be it's

629
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: one game, obviously, but a little bit more disturbing that

630
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: this could be Yeah, maybe season one, maybe more systemic.

631
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I would say, you know, I expected them

632
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 9: to lose a game. I just think TCU has got

633
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 9: better players, and the reality is they were a talent

634
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 9: deficit in that game. That's a well coached team, you know,

635
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 9: say Lubick took them to the National semi the National

636
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 9: championship game just a few years ago. It's not some pushover.

637
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 9: They were playing in Week one, So I thought they'd lose.

638
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 9: What surprised me was like, what a bleep show it

639
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 9: turned into in the third quo and I don't know

640
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 9: if you like how much of the game he watched him,

641
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 9: but to me, the third quarter it was, I mean,

642
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 9: it was like almost bad news bears ish. Maybe I'm

643
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 9: dating myself.

644
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: A little bit with that reference, but.

645
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 9: You know, the first play from scrimmage is seventy five

646
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 9: yard touchdown. On the second possession, they convert third and

647
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 9: twenty with a steam route right down Main Street, and

648
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 9: then you know, the running back scores in the next

649
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 9: play untouched from twenty eight yards out, you know, and

650
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 9: then you had that the fumble return for a touchdown

651
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 9: a little.

652
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: Bit after that.

653
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 9: It just it felt like the team wasn't prepared, you know,

654
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 9: to come out of the locker room for the second half.

655
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 9: And that was what was alarming to me about it.

656
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 9: It wasn't it wasn't again, it wasn't that they'd lose

657
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 9: the game. I thought they'd lose the game. It was

658
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 9: the way that it looked towards the end. And so,

659
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 9: you know, I think Bill knows he's got a lot

660
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 9: of work to do, but that was something I think

661
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 9: you wouldn't expect from a Bill Belichick coach team, regardless

662
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 9: of how long or short he's been in a place.

663
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: Okay, you're not reporting this, but if I said, if

664
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: you were going to bet on this, what is Bill

665
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 2: Belichick doing a year.

666
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: From now coaching North Carolina?

667
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: Okay?

668
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like I mean.

669
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 9: Look like there's seventy new players and that's the number, right, Yeah, Okay,

670
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 9: So Dion Sanders went through this two years ago of Colorado,

671
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 9: and I think Dion, if I remember I didn't he

672
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 9: beat TCU in his first game.

673
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: Isn't that right? But then what was their record?

674
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 4: I think they won more four games.

675
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 3: Right, So, like Dion eventually got there.

676
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 9: But I think some people looked at that and underestimated,

677
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 9: like what a herculean task it is to turn over

678
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 9: that much of the of the roster when you're dealing

679
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 9: with like nineteen twenty twenty one year old kids, you know,

680
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 9: and maybe Bill, you know, like underestimated what that what

681
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 9: what the what the task there would be. But that's

682
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 9: a really serious overhaul of a college program. And I think,

683
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 9: you know, now it's the benefit of having like at

684
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 9: least a game of evidence of it. It might have

685
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 9: been too much to ask, to ask for a really

686
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 9: great performance right out of the gate.

687
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: Talking Albert Breer the Monday Morning Quarterbacks senior NFL reporter,

688
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: how many teams were in play for Micah Parsons.

689
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 9: I think the number was it was six, like and

690
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 9: at the very end maybe less, but there were six

691
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 9: that were involved, and you know, the Cowboys took what

692
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 9: they felt like was the best offer. Now, I think

693
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 9: that the thing that people are missing here, and I

694
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 9: think this is a really interesting nuance to it, is

695
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 9: that there's a bigger picture thought here for Dallas and

696
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 9: what they're doing.

697
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: And I'm not going to tell you that they didn't

698
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: want to resign Micah.

699
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 9: They did, but when things broke down in the spring,

700
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 9: they had a series of conversations about like, okay, like

701
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 9: what are we trying to do here?

702
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: We haven't been to an.

703
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 9: NFC championship game, let alone a super Bowl only nine years.

704
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: That's the third longest drought in the NFL.

705
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 9: Yet we've I think they're top ten, top seven or

706
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 9: eight maybe and wins over that same period. So you've

707
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 9: been consistently really good, but never good enough, right like

708
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 9: at the end, you know, and I think they, you know,

709
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 9: with a new head coach now, Brian Schottenheimer started to

710
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 9: look in the mirror a little bit about it, you know,

711
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 9: and it.

712
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: Was like, okay, Like, so, if we are going.

713
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 9: To get to a point where we're going to trade

714
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 9: Micah Parsons, is there some sort.

715
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: Of pivot we want to make here?

716
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 9: And that pivot wound up being we want to like

717
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 9: really lean in on what Brian Schottenheimer's trying to build here,

718
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 9: which you've heard him use the phrase the greatest culture

719
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 9: in professional sports, and maybe that's a little bit hyperbole,

720
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 9: but like that's the idea of what.

721
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: They're trying to do there.

722
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 9: And then you look at their first two draft picks

723
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 9: in April, and it was two guys who are just

724
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 9: middle of the fairway from a makeup and character standpoint,

725
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 9: and Tyler Booker from Alabama and Donovan Azeraku from Boston College,

726
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 9: really productive college players who are really great people. And

727
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 9: then you look at what Dallas did here, right like,

728
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 9: which not all six of the teams had two first

729
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 9: round picks on the on the table, but the rough

730
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 9: ask was two first round picks and a player that

731
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 9: can be useful for us, and the Cowboys actually asked

732
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 9: for Kenny Clark. And I think the Packers were taken

733
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 9: aback a little bit by that, thinking like well, they.

734
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 3: Lost DeMarcus Lawrence.

735
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 9: They they're losing Micha Parsons here, we thought maybe they'd

736
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 9: want an edge player and Packers people were heartbroken like

737
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 9: losing Kenny Clark right. The reason why is because the

738
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 9: person he is, and I think that that was a

739
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 9: huge part. That was a huge part of why Dallas

740
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 9: asked specifically for him, because it's leaning into what they're

741
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 9: trying to build and leaning into that whole We're gonna

742
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 9: have the greatest culture in the NFL thing, and maybe

743
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 9: that'll be the difference maker for us. Now we'll work,

744
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 9: we'll see. But in drafting Booker and drafting as Iraku

745
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 9: and now bringing in Kenny Clark, I think they're kind

746
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 9: of looking at it and saying, how can we make

747
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 9: the locker room the best locker room in the NFL?

748
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 9: And how can we empower Dak Prescott to be the

749
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 9: leader of the team. And we'll see how all that

750
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 9: works out. But Michah Parsons didn't really fit into that. Now, again,

751
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 9: they wanted to resign them. I'm not saying they didn't

752
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 9: want to resign them, but the idea was, if we

753
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 9: do move on from this guy, what are we going

754
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 9: to do.

755
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 3: And I think you see a pretty clear.

756
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 9: Vision for what they're going to do on the field

757
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 9: with the run stopping stuff that they've said a million

758
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 9: times now, but also off the field.

759
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you don't bring in George Pickens if

760
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 4: you're talking about the locker room.

761
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's for a year.

762
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: Okay, But I mean, okay, now you can stop the run. Now,

763
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: can you stop the pounds? You know, you and.

764
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 9: I understand, and I understand there's a lot of that

765
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 9: right like in the Pickens things.

766
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 3: That's a good rebuttal there's.

767
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 9: No question like that's a big risk for them, you know,

768
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 9: but that's for a year and you'll see where that goes.

769
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 9: And in the meantime, like they are able to take

770
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 9: that money and and and sign some of their own guys,

771
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 9: you know, I mean dorn Blans want got done over

772
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 9: the last couple of days. Tyler Smith's another, you know,

773
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 9: you know, a real like foundation piece for them on

774
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 9: the offensive line that they plan to resign.

775
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: Like these things would.

776
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 9: Be more difficult if you had Michael Parsons making between

777
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 9: forty five and fifty million dollars a year. So again,

778
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 9: like I think there's just sort of a big picture

779
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 9: idea here in the way that they're going.

780
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 3: To handle it.

781
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 2: But Kenny Clark helps you now, but you don't need

782
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: help now. He's not the future. You're getting his two

783
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: first round picks. I mean, how did Jamal Adams got three?

784
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: There was three first round picks for Jamal Adams for

785
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: the Jetst. I just don't understand. If I look at

786
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 2: some of these other players who've been traded, defensive players, Yeah,

787
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 2: you got a lot more for these guys.

788
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 9: And I think that that, like that to me, is

789
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 9: another valid criticism, is like, if you were talking about

790
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 9: this in March and April, right, then you should have

791
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 9: created the tension point with your player then. And I

792
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 9: think that that piece of it, to me, is really

793
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 9: important because if you are putting Micah Parsons on the

794
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 9: market in March and April, there's way more of a

795
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 9: market for him. It's tough to trade a guy right

796
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 9: before the start of the season. Teams budgets are set,

797
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 9: their caps are set, their rosters are set. Like when

798
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 9: you're talking about bringing in a player of this magnitude,

799
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 9: like that's a big thing. The capital that you got

800
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 9: to fork over for him, and the contract you got

801
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 9: to fork over, Like that's a lot. And if you're

802
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 9: looking at the idea of this and you say you

803
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 9: put them on the market in March or April, well

804
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 9: then you're probably going to have more teams involved, because

805
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 9: more teams are gonna, you know, sort of have stayed

806
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 9: loose at that point with an ability to pivot and

807
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 9: make moves at certain positions that you wouldn't be able

808
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 9: to make in a summer. And then you know, like

809
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 9: you're also the other benefit of doing it then is

810
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 9: that you're actually going to get one of those picks

811
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 9: on your team this year, you know what I mean, Like,

812
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 9: so instead of having to wait until twenty six and

813
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 9: twenty seven to have those guys in your team, like,

814
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 9: whatever picks you get in twenty five, now those teams,

815
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 9: those guys are going to help you right now. So

816
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 9: I think that's a very valid criticism that they shouldn't

817
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 9: have let this thing linger. They shouldn't have let it

818
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 9: go through camp one hundred percent. I'm with you on that, Like,

819
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 9: that's a fair criticism, and they should have reached this

820
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 9: tension point with Michaeh Parsons and David Mulligetta and all

821
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 9: the people in that camp way earlier than they did.

822
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: You got your Super Bowl pick.

823
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: I can't remember who I picked, and I don't want

824
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: to go again. It was Buffalo, and who do I pick?

825
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 9: I can tell how much work I put into this stand,

826
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 9: how much I uh, I picked Buffalo and the Rams.

827
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: I think even it Stafford's bank.

828
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 3: I think the Rams are gonna be really good, and

829
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: I think Devanta Adams, Oh, I think they're going to

830
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: be good.

831
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm only worried about Matthewson. They go Matthew,

832
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 4: Stafford goes.

833
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, they do, and I think, I think Matthews back

834
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 9: is going to be all right.

835
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 3: I just the people.

836
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 9: That I've talked to there the I'm not minimizing like

837
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 9: what he's dealing with. He's definitely dealing with a serious injury.

838
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 9: But they felt like they could have.

839
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: Thrown him out there early in camp.

840
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 9: And this was more about Matthew's only got so many

841
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 9: bullets left in the gun, and we don't need to

842
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 9: be firing those bullets in the first week of August

843
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 9: or the second week of August, especially when Jimmy Garoppolo

844
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 9: is on the bench and he can come in and

845
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 9: run our offense at a starting caliber level, so the

846
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 9: other ten guys in the huddle can get all the

847
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 9: reps that they need running our offense.

848
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: To get ready for the season.

849
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 9: So, you know, I I that was sort of the

850
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 9: approach that they took, like until he's one hundred percent,

851
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 9: we're not going to put him out there, and they

852
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 9: got very close to that, you know, and before putting

853
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 9: him out there. And Matthew has managed these things too,

854
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 9: like he's had you know, I think from all the

855
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 9: damage she took over the years in Detroit, like as

856
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 9: extentsial injuries for a quarterback a wrist and elbow, so

857
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 9: you know, back is definitely not good for an older guy.

858
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: But he's managed this sort of thing in.

859
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 9: The past, and I personally think like they'll be able

860
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 9: to manage him through the through the season. And they've

861
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 9: got a damn good team around him. Like I think,

862
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 9: if you look at the young talent on that team

863
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 9: and the job that they've done moving out of like

864
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 9: the Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Cooper Cup era, they've done

865
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 9: a really really nice job of.

866
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: Reworking that roster. I think they're going to be right

867
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 3: in it till the end.

868
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay bandwagon is starting to fill up in first class.

869
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 3: I like the Bucks too.

870
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 9: I mean, the amazing thing about the Bucks if you

871
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 9: look at the roster, the number of guys that are

872
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 9: homegrown and the depth they have there and the way

873
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 9: that they've been able to kind of go from the

874
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 9: Brady era group. It's the same thing I was talking

875
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 9: about the Rams, and then draft and develop young guys

876
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 9: and and and get a year ahead of things like.

877
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 3: Like a Mecca.

878
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 9: Abuka might be not might might not be a big

879
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 9: might not feel a big need for them right now

880
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 9: with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin coming back off the injury,

881
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 9: but that's going to be a big need a year

882
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 9: or two in all likelihood, right, so you get that

883
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 9: taken care of now. They've done a really good job

884
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 9: of restocking their roster, having Zioncolum ready to go.

885
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 3: As Carlton Davis was walking.

886
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 9: Out the door, you know, like they've just done a

887
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 9: really good job of continuing to i mean, churn that

888
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 9: roster where when older players are on their way out,

889
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 9: they have an answer. And and I think Baker Mayfield

890
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 9: is is pretty underrated too. I think I think Baker's

891
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 9: got a chance to have a dynamite year.

892
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 4: Always great to talk to you. Thank you, Albert, all.

893
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 9: Right, thanks Dan, and by the way, thanks for the

894
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 9: fantasy draft. Your secret is safe with us. I will

895
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 9: say that we took every precaution.

896
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: Necessary to make sure of it.

897
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: Yes, some of those team names. You wouldn't want me

898
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: saying that around your wife, would you. But you can

899
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: see you can say mine, right I could. They have

900
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: all these descriptive names. Albert Alberts Fantasy League. Albert's team

901
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 2: is called Albert's Team.

902
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 9: That's because when we changed platforms, I forgot to rename it,

903
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 9: so mine wasn't very good before that.

904
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: Either everybody has some wild inappropriate name, and then his

905
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 2: is Albert's team.

906
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah that was I think that was yeahoo.

907
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 9: I think that was the automatic Yahoo name that they

908
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 9: slapped on it. But but everybody appreciated it was really good.

909
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: Albert Brier, the Monday Morning Quarterbacks Senior NFL reported
