1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody, John Middlecoff three

2
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: in our podcast, how are we doing? Hopefully everyone's doing great?

3
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Got a big show today. I do want to start.

4
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: I talked about this a little bit yesterday on the

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football Reaction podcast at the end, but I

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: want to dive deeper into it and listen, I was

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: wrong about something and I want to address it, and

8
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: it'll be in revolving around Bill Belichick and the failure

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: and the disaster that is currently North Carolina football. We

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: will definitely talk some quarterbacks, Daniel Jones, Mac Jones, you know,

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of have a Baker Mayfield, Sam Darmal. We've just

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: seen a lot of resurrections around the league these last

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: several years, and I don't necessarily think it's a coincidence.

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: And then we will also discuss the the kickoffs and

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: the field goal kickers have dramatically changed the sport. Like

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: what we're witnessing now on a weekly basis is a

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: much different game because of the new kickoff rule and

18
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: these guys' ability to kick long field goals. Then football

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: was like three years ago. And then of course the

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: mail bag at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff is the

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: Instagram fire and those dms get your questions answered here

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: on the show and we will have a long mail

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: bag today as well. But that will be the game

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: game Thursday night. We will be live right after the

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: game reacting, very very exciting, stive it as in football.

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: I want to start with Belichick because I had mentioned

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: something a while back, and I had been pretty adamant

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: about this, and I was wrong, and I had simply

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: said that college football recruiting, the relationships don't mean anything anymore.

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: It's all about the money, whoever will pay you the most,

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: that's all that matters. In getting to know people, going

38
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: to dinner at their house, knowing their parents, interacting with

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: the circle of humans in their life doesn't matter. And

40
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I was wrong, and I was thinking about this a

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago when I flew out to New York.

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Remember in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, it's like

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: business travel is dead. No one will ever do face

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: to face interactions to do deals anymore. Everything's gonna be zoom,

45
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be FaceTime, everything's gonna be over our computer.

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: And then over the last couple of years, business travels

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: booming and people that do business deals of any substance.

48
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, kind of like to get to know people.

49
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I flew out to to help facilitate a deal that

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: was probably ninety eight percent done, but you know what,

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of important for both sides to see the people,

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: to talk with people and just get to know someone.

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I was just with my one of my good childhood

54
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: friends who had his fortieth birthday at probably the boogiest

55
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: place in all of Napa, and a bunch of people

56
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: showed up, people I didn't know, and one of our

57
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: college buddies showed up. And he is currently in business

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: with Jordan Palmer, that is Carson's younger brother, who obviously

59
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: plays a big role still. You know coaches in the

60
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: off season, guys like Sam Darnold and Josh Allen, and

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: their business right now is thriving. He's doing really well.

62
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: And their relationship stems from high school. They've known each

63
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: other for over twenty five years. In relationships matter, And

64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: I had a front row seat when I worked in

65
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: college football the coach Hill, Pat Hill, who had worked

66
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: for Belichick, who got hired at Fresno State, coming from

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and working for Bill Belichick and being

68
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: the assistant offensive line coach where Kirk Farns was the

69
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: O line coach, and running scout team against Nick Saban

70
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: every day in practice for years. And I witness that

71
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: man do in home visits, do school visits for years

72
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: and know his entire team, their family, their high school coaches,

73
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: their brothers and sisters. You know why that kind of matters.

74
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: You can say that I hate Ohio State kind of true.

75
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: I root against him. I do respect Ryan Day and

76
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I have always said this. He takes recruiting very seriously.

77
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: His mentor Chip Kelly did not. He will openly say

78
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 1: like I hate recruiting, Well, then he can't really function

79
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: in college football. It's not the way it works. Like

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: you just hate recruiting, well, do you hate the draft?

81
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like a basic element of the sport. Right,

82
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: this is how you acquire your players. Do you want

83
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: to go eat dinner at seventeen year old's homes four

84
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: months on end? Probably not? Hell, Deon Sanders doesn't even

85
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: do that. You know, Deon Sanders has never had a

86
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: home visit. Right. But I would say this about Dion

87
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Sanders and how he would differ from Belichick is Dan's

88
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: got a pretty big personality and I've seen him deal

89
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: with a lot of different people. I mean, granted just

90
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: on social media with his own team, like his relationship

91
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: from Travis Hunter to his sons, to like the little

92
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: Mexican kicker. Like he's pretty good dealing with people. You

93
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: would say Dion's personality is a positive attribute. Belichick's personality

94
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: is a negative. No one's ever argued that his football

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: knowledge is an elite. Ask all the young offensive coaches

96
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: right now in the NFL McVeigh, Kyle Shanahan, Kevin O'Connell

97
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: who played for him. They speak about him like he's

98
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the football Jesus hell Andy Reid, who is somewhat his

99
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: peer in terms of an age group. If you got

100
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: him unfiltered talking about Bill Belichick, they have the utmost

101
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: respect for his ability to understand the entire landscape of

102
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: the game, offense, defense, special teams, schemes, team building at all.

103
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: But no one has ever confused Bill Belichick for caring

104
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: about others. And listen, I have no problem with that, right,

105
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: that is his All of our personalities are different, and

106
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: he gives no shits about anyone. Well, in the pros,

107
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: when you screw up, right, if the Arizona Cardinals, the

108
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: dude that dropped the ball at the goal line, if

109
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: they wanted to, they're not going to because their running

110
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: back situations kind of in shambles with James Connor going down,

111
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: they could cut them Monday morning and say, listen, you're

112
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: gone right just because you drop the ball in the

113
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: end zone. It happens all the time. You see guys,

114
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: especially as the season goes and teams lose in the NFL,

115
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: you will see so and so got cut, so and

116
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: so got released, and sometimes just personality don't want to

117
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: deal with you anymore. It's a cutthrow business. Why because

118
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: it's pro football. In college football is kind of morphed

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: into that. The nil all I hear about is the nil. Well,

120
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: it's not the nil because I'm not paying for your name, image,

121
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: and likeness. I'm just paying you to play for my team,

122
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: which I got no issue. It's why I'm on the

123
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: fence of like I don't see. I read an article

124
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: today that arch Manning makes six point eight million dollars.

125
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: I was like, jeez, that's a lot. Hell, I heard

126
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: a story. I was listening to Brian Windhorse say the

127
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: kid at BYU, the basketball player makes seven million dollars. Now,

128
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: in basketball, it's a little different. These guys are one

129
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: and done. But in college arch Manning has been making

130
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: millions now for a couple of years. Well, the moment

131
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: you play and you don't get it done, you're not

132
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: going to continue to be my starter. But during the season,

133
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: you don't see guys in college football just get cut.

134
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: And part of this big story with college football, or

135
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean with Belichick, has been he has no relationship

136
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: with any of his player's family with anything they got

137
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: going outside of football. Same thing with his son Steve,

138
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: who most guys on the team, even on his side

139
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: of the ball, don't even have his number. Well in football,

140
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: right when these guys worked for the Patriots, it was

141
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: like whether Jason mccordy or Devin mccordy or Dante high Tower,

142
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and Belichick didn't need to know, his parents didn't need

143
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: to know, his girlfriend didn't really care. You either get

144
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: the job done or we will get rid of you.

145
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: Remember when Jamie Collins started playing like shit and they're

146
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: like trading him. It was cutthroat, and no one was

147
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: more cutthroat than the Patriots. Well that's not really how

148
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: it works in college, even in this transactional time. Do

149
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: you think that Kirby smart his starting lineup and guy,

150
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: especially that he recruited out of high school or even

151
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: the transfer portal guys, that he knows a decent amount

152
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: about that player. I'm not talking about strengths and weaknesses,

153
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: their ability on the field, but like their parents or

154
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: whoever is like the guiding mentor in their life. You

155
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: know why, because when that nineteen year old goes into

156
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: the tank, you kind of got to play, you know,

157
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: coach psychologists on the fly. You're not dealing with a

158
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: forty year old Tom Brady who has multiple kids for

159
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: multiple different women, who's been married for ten years, who

160
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, who is forty

161
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: freaking years old, or Rob Gronkowski who's thirty two years old,

162
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: or Julian Edelman, who's thirty four years old. You were

163
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: dealing with a nineteen or twenty year old whose insecurities

164
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: go up and down, you know, as fast as a

165
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: stock market. Right. We're human beings, we're young human beings.

166
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: We haven't experienced that much in life. And if you're

167
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: a college football player, most of your life, definitely in

168
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: high school was probably pretty good because you were the

169
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: star athlete and the guy getting all the chicks when

170
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: you were fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old. Then you get

171
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: to college, you start losing, you start getting yelled at,

172
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: it's not great. Well, Belichick doesn't give a shit about

173
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: any of that, and we knew that he didn't care.

174
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: And I always thought, like, well, does that even matter anymore? Yeah,

175
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: it still kind of matters, because remember last year when

176
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Ohio State won the championship, or the year before when

177
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: Jim Harboss team won the championship, And I remember there

178
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: was a viral video JJ McCarthy's pro day and JJ's

179
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: family were there, and he just started talking to JJ's mom,

180
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: and maybe it was Blake Korum's like dad or so

181
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: like he just he knew all these people intimately because

182
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: that's college football and it still is even in this

183
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: NIL era. I bet you Ryan Day because he recruited,

184
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: like you know, the quarterback and the safety that transferred

185
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: from Alabama from high school knows their families. That doesn't

186
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: mean you need to text them about playing time on

187
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, but it shows that, like, I know more

188
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: about you, because that's part of this deal. Because most

189
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: guys on your team, even at Alabama, Ohio State, and Oregon,

190
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: are not going to be NFL stars, and a programs

191
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: like North Carolina they definitely are not. So if I

192
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: don't get invested in as a player. The thing I

193
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: respect most about Pat Hill wasn't that he was one

194
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: of the trailblazers for smaller schools. I think he was

195
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: the first non power five million dollar coach. He pushed

196
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: so many small school guys that did not have offers

197
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: into the NFL. It was how much he cared about

198
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: his players and the guys that were gonna go to

199
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. But like their girlfriends, their wives, he gets

200
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: invited to their wedding. That's usually how it works. Hell,

201
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: look at Andy Reid. Do you know who's gonna be

202
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: there at the Travis Kelce Taylor Swift wedding, assuming he

203
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: can make it. It's not like during the draft Andy

204
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: freaking Reid. Do you think Belichick's getting invited to any

205
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: of these weddings, let alone like they're just using this

206
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: as a transaction machine, which I think a couple of

207
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: years ago we thought, well, this is college football, well

208
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of. It still is a relationship based business, just

209
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: like the real world is. It's like, well, just zoom

210
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: this guy, Well how much here asking for? You need

211
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: an investment in your startup? You want that guy to

212
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: give you five hundred thousand dollars. You think just a

213
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: zoom's gonna get it done? Probably not. You might need

214
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: to hop on a bird fly, have dinner with them. Hell,

215
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: maybe spend a couple of days with them. That's the

216
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: way the real world works in college football. I bet

217
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: if we went to Kirby Smart, if we went to

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Day, if we went to Dan Lanning, Like, do

219
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: these guys still want to do home visits? Do these

220
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: guys there're gonna be days? Hell no, they don't, but

221
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: they know it's important and they know what matters. Like

222
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: do you think Dan Lanning knows Dante Morre's family knows

223
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: his parents' names. I would bet a million dollars right

224
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: now he does. Do you think Belichick has any fucking

225
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: clue about any of this stuff? No, And this is

226
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: where I thought Belichick would probably work because he's such

227
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: a good coach, And now looking at it, like, I

228
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: think the personality element kind of matters because recruiting, even

229
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: if money is involved, well, we know Belichick's not really

230
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: into offering a lot of money. That's never really been

231
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: hismo To think that he's just gonna outbid everybody on

232
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: these players all the time. That's probably not gonna be

233
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: his thing. Well, it's like, what about his relationships? What

234
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: about his personality? That is definitely not his thing. So

235
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: if the only thing you're hanging your hat on is like,

236
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, in twenty fifteen, we were down twenty eight

237
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: to three, well cool, Coach I was nine years old.

238
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't really remember that game. It's like, do you

239
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: remember when we have the undefeated team and we lost

240
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: to the Giants in the Super Bowl in two thousand

241
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: and seven or January two thousand and eight, Coach I

242
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: was two years old then, Like the age gap of

243
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: some of his success. You know, part of the reason

244
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots beating the Bills the other night was such

245
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: a big deal. It's like they had been really shitty

246
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: for a long time now, Like it's not just a

247
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: year now relative to the last twenty five years. Obviously

248
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: they had a good run. But for a kid that's

249
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: eighteen years old. Ten years ago, the kid was eight,

250
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty five, when Belichick and Brady were

251
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: in their second iteration of the dynasty, kid doesn't remember

252
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: anything like I think back to my childhood. Some of

253
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: my first memories are more like tennish. And maybe that's

254
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: because I'm forty years old now, forty one. Actually birthday yesterday,

255
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: No big deal. Not a big birthday guy, though. But

256
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: I just I think this thing's only going to get

257
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: uglier because I see it myself. I bet many of

258
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: you listen can relate, especially if you're over thirty or

259
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: thirty five or forty. Our personalities don't change that much, right,

260
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: the way we're wired, the way we like to live

261
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: our life. I'm not saying we don't, especially if you

262
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: are an ambitious person not willing to adapt and willing

263
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: to professionally change. But the way you're wired, like how

264
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: you enjoy the party. I was just at over the

265
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: weekend one of my good buddies, his wife, she is

266
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: she likes to socialize and it gives her energy. You know,

267
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I do it for two days and I'm like, I

268
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: am still tired. Four days later, I'm like, I'm exhausted.

269
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: She'll be at an event tonight or tomorrow and then

270
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: all weekend like it just it energizes her. And your

271
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: personality is something that kind of defines you, and you

272
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: have to figure out as you age how to professionally

273
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: dial it in so you can have the most success.

274
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: But you don't just become some crazy extroverted human. If

275
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: you're an introvert, Just like if you're an extroverted person,

276
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: it's really hard to lay low all the time. And

277
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: Belichick does not want to deal with a lot of people. Hell,

278
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: he was, you know, legendary for being a dick to

279
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: the guy that was paying him twenty fucking million dollars

280
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: a year. He wasn't he was well known in the

281
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: NFL circles. He wasn't even nice to the crafts one

282
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: individual that cut the checks for everything. And I've always

283
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: kind of offended him. I do understand if you're Bill, like, listen,

284
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: should it be nice to Robert? Yes? But the kid like,

285
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't take Jonathan seriously if I'm Bill,

286
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: But like where gets around like, hey, you don't want

287
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: to deal with that guy. And now he goes to

288
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: a university where there are way more hands than the

289
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: cookie jar. You got boosters, you got boro regients, you

290
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: got presidents, you got athletic directors, you got kids parents

291
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: that kind of matter, right, I mean kids' parents. Even

292
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: in eighteen nineteen, they still rely on these people. They

293
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: talk to them all the time. And high school coaches

294
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: like think how many high school coaches For the last

295
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty plus years, Kirby Smart isn't just on a first

296
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: name basis with but like legitimately knows a lot about

297
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: their life, has hung out with them, has spent time

298
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: with them, has brought them to his facility over the

299
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: years for clinics, for beers, had played golf with them.

300
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: Like intimate relationships, that shit matters. Yet you look at

301
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: Belichick's relationships, It's like who who are his relationships? Hates

302
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: everyone of the Patriots. Now the Belichick boys follow them,

303
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, look at the guys with Andy Reid. You know,

304
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Matt Nagge gets fired by the Bears, goes right back, right.

305
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnola had worked from the Philly comes right back.

306
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: These guys swear by the guy, even the guys that

307
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: go on on their own. I'll never forget being at

308
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: the Combine one year and seeing John and Jim Harbaugh.

309
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: And this was I think John was probably a year

310
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: away from winning the Super Bowl and Jim was like

311
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: in his first year at this forty nine ers and

312
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: they were walking together and they looked inside our suite

313
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: and they said aby, and they lit up like Christmaster.

314
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: I remember thinking it was pretty cool. And they came

315
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: in and they just kind of shot the shit for

316
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes while the workouts were going on, and

317
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: it's like, I, you know, I just think this thing's

318
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna be even a bigger disaster. And you'd be like, well, John,

319
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: everyone's kicking him while he's down, and it has nothing

320
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: to do with this team. This team is gonna suck.

321
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: We saw it against TCU. But I do think your

322
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: personality you can get by. Like Kyle Shanahan would have

323
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: no chance to recruit, Zero, wouldn't want to do it,

324
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, couldn't even fake it, and so he does.

325
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm just a pro coach. He would not do well.

326
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: But you watch Steve Sarkisi, and you watch Ryan Day,

327
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: you watch Dan Lanning. Their personalities are a little bit different.

328
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: It's why we all agree. Like, you know, I think

329
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh could do both. I think Mike Tomlin could

330
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: do both. Not saying they want to, not even saying

331
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: that they have. They would could like it wouldn't even

332
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: interest them, but if they had to do it, they could.

333
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Like It's easy to see Pete Carroll's personality. It's like, yeah,

334
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: I get it. I could see him walking right down

335
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: the street, you know, by the Bloods and the Crips

336
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: and Compton and sitting in a dude's house and landing

337
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: the recruit with a big smile. I mean, the stories

338
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: were legendary. I heard the same stories about Pat Hill

339
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: when they tried to recruit Malik Jackson and his brother

340
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: who ended up going to USC and then Tennessee and

341
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: then won a Super Bowl with Denver. He just like, hey, coach,

342
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: chill stand at the sidewalk, do not walk down this

343
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: street in South central La. He got out of the car.

344
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: He fucking just belined it, didn't give a shit, liked it,

345
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: enjoyed it because that was his personality. That's always been

346
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: a Pete Carroll thing. Clearly, I see it in Dan Lanning.

347
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: You know, I think Ryan de Sark, I think Lane's

348
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: become that your personality really matters. We're in college. It

349
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: just doesn't where in the pros. What matters being the

350
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: ability to influence the quarterback. And I was thinking about,

351
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, I love Baker Mayfield. I'm a big Oklahoma guy,

352
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: and early on my guy Drew Hill when he got

353
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: hired to Bob Stoops. You know, I think Baker was

354
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: like a year later and I watched every game Baker

355
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: played in college, and he's one of my favorite players

356
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: that I've seen over like twenty plus years, you know,

357
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: watching college football as an adult. Reggie Bush, Johnny Manziel,

358
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Now, the difference is like I that Baker

359
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: Mayfield was like an athletic Drew Brees when you watched

360
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: him in college, he dominated. Now looking back, his teams

361
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: were stacked, but he was. I mean, he's gotta be

362
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: one of the great Oklahoma players of all time. And

363
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: they have one of the more storied histories in all

364
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: the college football. And obviously, you know, John Dorsey bought

365
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: in to not just the player but the personality, and

366
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: it took a while for it to come to fruition.

367
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: He had to fail, he had to you know, grow

368
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But like watching Baker Mayfield now,

369
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: like he was the number one overall pick for a reason.

370
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: The guy's a fucking player right now, you could argue

371
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald had more physical attributes. He was a number

372
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: three overall pick. So watching these guys getting good situations,

373
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think Baker I just looked last night,

374
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: it was twelve to one. Today he's eight to one

375
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: to win the MVP. Sam Donald to me is like

376
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: he's not gonna win the MVP this year, but he's

377
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: a high end Pro Bowl level guy. It's like, yeah,

378
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: he's six foot four. I met him this year at

379
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: the at the Super Bowl. He's way bigger than you think.

380
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: His arms big and he can move. Like, yeah, it

381
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: kind of works. Now, you gotta be able to impart

382
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: a playing quarterback is more. You know, the attributes, all

383
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: that stuff matter, But how do you readefense is how

384
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: do you pross process, how do you handle the pocket? Like,

385
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: clearly those two guys have it, But looking back when

386
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: they were drafted, a lot of people thought they had it.

387
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: You know, people love Baker Mayfield coming out of college,

388
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: people love Sam Darno coming out of college. A couple

389
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: guys that to me didn't have their physical attributes, Daniel

390
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Jones and Mac Jones. I think most people that I

391
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: know would have thought like crazy over drafts for both

392
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at six and Mac Jones at fifteen. But

393
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones was a legitimate, you know, top thirty

394
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: forty quarterback prospect. To me, Mac was a little bit

395
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: more quarterback inflation historically, but he was really good in college.

396
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: I'd have no problem taking him in the third round, right,

397
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: But you take a guy in the third round, he

398
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: could become your starter. Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott

399
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: like that level of guy, and I'm watching him now.

400
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: We all need help. Most human beings are not Peyton

401
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: Manning or Lebron James, where if you coached them, if

402
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: they went to the best organization, if they went to

403
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: the worst organization, it would not matter. They were going

404
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: to succeed. Most people are not that. Most people are

405
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: not Steve Jobs, right. Most people need someone in their

406
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: life to help them and be a catalyst moving forward,

407
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: especially young, right. And football is no different than any

408
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: of us in life. I owe a ton of my

409
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: professional success because Colin Coward a long time ago believed

410
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: in me. And now I'm in a position with this

411
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: company and these people behind the scenes, and so much

412
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: goes into it that is out of my control in

413
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: a positive way. But I can't do this on my own,

414
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: just like many of you listening, whether you own your

415
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: own company, whether you're successful and working for a company

416
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: like you're dependent on other people. Hell, we know personally,

417
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: I got married a year ago, I got a child

418
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: on the way, Like my life is dreamadically better with

419
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: someone in it because we can accomplish more the two

420
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: of us than I could as a single human being. Right.

421
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: Football is no different and most guys. Tom Brady benefited

422
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: a lot from going to a place that turned out

423
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: to have one of the great defenses over the Internet era,

424
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: and a coach that listen just kind of shit on

425
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: him because he has no personality is an excellent pro coach.

426
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean gonna go down as one of the great

427
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: coaches any sport ever. But like mac Jones and Daniel Jones,

428
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: they need people that believe in them, and they need

429
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: help around him, and they're very dependent on the play color.

430
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: Some guys like Lamar Jackson early in his career, very

431
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: dependent on the offense. Right now, Lamar Jackson can play

432
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: for anybody. You put Lamar Jackson on the Bengals and

433
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: they've started fucking rattling off wins with his eyes close,

434
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: assuming he his hamstring was healthy. Right. Mac Jones and

435
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones are not that now. Daniel Jones has more

436
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: physical skills, he's bigger, he's faster, and he's got a

437
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: bigger arm. But mac Jones pretty good. Like once upon

438
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: a time, Nick Saban said, I want you here, and

439
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: when Tua went down, Mac Jones came in and had

440
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: a lot of success and obviously the next year won

441
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: his championship and I was looking today they are combined

442
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: seven to one in twenty twenty five, the forty nine

443
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: ers have won three games with mac Jones. Daniel Jones

444
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: is four and one right now, is the starter and

445
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: he is going to be a lifeline and get extensions

446
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: for the head coach and the general manager. They were

447
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: going to get fired a couple months ago, and now

448
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: they are going to get extensions assuming he stays healthy.

449
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: If he stays healthy, they're winning I don't know, eleven, twelve,

450
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: thirteen games, Like they're good and he's good. And he

451
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: needed Shane Stiken, just like Mac Jones needed Kyle Shanahan

452
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: because those guys make life easier. They can get you

453
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: in position. I saw this video that went viral of

454
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: Ben Jones, the former center for the Titans, and he

455
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: was talking about in twenty seventeen, when Terry Rubisky, longtime

456
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: you know wide receiver coach, been a coordinator a couple times,

457
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: said like Terry wouldn't even call plays. He would just

458
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: like give you the game plan and then you would

459
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: just like sometimes in like the second half or in

460
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: a two minute situation, he would just be like, go cook,

461
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: like we got like a second year quarterback here, and

462
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: Ben Jones and Mariota would just kind of on the fly,

463
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: be like calling plays in the huddle together. And back

464
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: when Kevin O'Connell whatever six months ago said more teams

465
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: fail quarterbacks, then quarterbacks fail team, and you see stuff

466
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: like that you're like Jesus, imagine getting these guys that

467
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: are young and a coach not even helping them out.

468
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: And I've always said this, you know, the NFL, especially

469
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: now it's Wall Street on grass, there's a position coaches

470
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: make nine hundred grand. Whenever you get a lot of

471
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: money involved, you get a lot of scam artists. The

472
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: amount of people in scouting, uh in coaching that are

473
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: doing it because it's a high profile, high paying job

474
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: has never, you know, been more prevalent than it was,

475
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: Like didn't pay anything in the eighties. It wasn't as

476
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: glamorous of a job. So if you were coaching, like

477
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: when Belichack and Coach Reid and Pete Carroll, like when

478
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: they got into sport, it was for the love of football,

479
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: which is honestly refreshing. I think about some of the

480
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: younger guys, especially the offensive coaches, like it feels like

481
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: they're junkies. Obviously they're all highly paid, you know, Ben Johnson,

482
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, Lafloor, McVeigh, Kyle, but it's like these guys,

483
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: these cats would have coached in the eighties and seventies

484
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: when it wasn't very you know, making much money. And

485
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: then there are some guys like this guy's just doing

486
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: it because it's football, make high six figures or seven figures,

487
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: but they're scam artists. You know, this guy has no business.

488
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: And I hear stories in the scouting community, you know,

489
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: guys trying to work their way up just because they

490
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: want to be doing press conferences, they want to be famous,

491
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: they want to make a lot of money that they

492
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: kind of skip steps and you know, don't actually they're

493
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: not in it for the right reasons. And I think

494
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: the one thing you see with Mac Jones and Daniel

495
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: Jones is sometimes when you get thrown a lifeline and

496
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: you get into a place where someone believes in you.

497
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: And I've said this for a long time, when you're

498
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: a younger person and Daniel Zones, I think is like

499
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: they're both you know, late twenties, but that's still pretty

500
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: young for dudes. You know, women are way more mature

501
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: than us. Help. My wife is seven years younger than me.

502
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: She is dramatically more emotionally buttoned up than myself. She

503
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: is way more mature at the same age than I

504
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: was in my early thirties. It's not even close. And

505
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: having people in your life that are successful to like

506
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen is an excellent offensive coordinator. Kyle Shanahan, his

507
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: resume speaks for itself. So when these guys go, I

508
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: want you around. Look at Sam Donald's when his career

509
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: clearly changed for the better, you can say Baker Mayfield too.

510
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: Who are the two guys that wanted Sam and wanted Baker.

511
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: Sean McVay claimed him, and Kyle Shanahan signed Sam Donald

512
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: and their careers ever since have been like rocket ships

513
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: right up to the moon. You put those two in

514
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Carolina with Matt Ruhle, who's completely over his head as

515
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: an NFL coach, with a GM that has no clue

516
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: what he's doing, and they look like scrubs, and then

517
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: you get him out and you go got Baker Mayfield

518
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: might win the MVP, and Sam Darnold is one of

519
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: the great stories like I ever remember, right, But you know,

520
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: maybe as the Panthers and the Jets, who are a

521
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: fucking joke. And I say this like I'm a huge

522
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: John Spidech guy. I hope he wins the Super Bowl

523
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: in his career as a GM. I have nothing but

524
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: admiration for Pete Carroll, but you're seeing those two guys

525
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: go to a franchise like that franchise loses a lot.

526
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 1: You know, Google the last twenty five years with the Raiders.

527
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: It's not something that's easy for people to overcome. Right,

528
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: you go to the Jets. What we witnessed Aaron Glenn

529
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: help Dan Campbell do these last couple of years in

530
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: Detroit was one of the great accomplishments we've ever seen

531
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: in football. The Detroit Lions are now a powerhouse. Imagine

532
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: telling someone that ten years ago. Listen, you're not gonna

533
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: believe me, but the Detroit Lions are a powerhouse. Hell

534
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: if I would have told people in the nineties or

535
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: the eighties or the early two thousands, you know that

536
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors are gonna be probably the Lakers

537
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: equal in popularity and just dominance. Even no chance. That

538
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: shows you the power of Steph Curry. Right, He's a

539
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: transcendent human being. And that's even if like Pete Carroll's

540
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: proven to be transcendent changed USC they went through the

541
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: greatest stretch in modern program history. But the Seattle Seahawks

542
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: became a jugger. Not no chance that happened. And he

543
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: goes to Raiders. It's like, shit, is he gonna quit?

544
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: You know? Is this gonna drive him back to retirement?

545
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: So I just think it's really really cool when guys

546
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: you know that probably have a little less talent than

547
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: some just getting the right spot and see them flourish.

548
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: And I also think you see, you know when the

549
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: story of Shador miming the other day, you know what

550
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: we never saw is any dude on Cleveland kind of

551
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: come out, even like an anonymous player going, you know,

552
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: shoe Door's getting fucked. He should one hundred percent be

553
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: the starter. Never heard that. I'll never forget. When I

554
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: was around the forty nine ers a lot, do you

555
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: know what, You didn't hear much positive talk about Trey Lance?

556
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: Why because all the players knew he wasn't that good.

557
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Nothing against him personally, but they knew he couldn't really play,

558
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: and players know and coaches know, and then eventually you

559
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: just got to do it. And you know what Mac

560
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: Jones has done so far of the season, he saved

561
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: the season. If they would have had a bad backup,

562
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: if they would have had a guy that is not

563
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: probably a starter in the NFL, the forty nine ers

564
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: would be like one and four, we'd be talking about

565
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannan having back to back shitty seasons, like is

566
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: he legitimately on the hot seat? Is this franchise a

567
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: current disaster? Now instead they get Mac Jones, who's broke.

568
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: I think they're own six touchdowns so far this season.

569
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: We talked about the Colts. Their owner has a headset

570
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: on the sideline. It's like she wants to know, like,

571
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna fire these guys, I better feel really

572
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: confident about it. Now she's sitting there on the sideline

573
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: and just watching touchdowns and forty point blowouts. She's like,

574
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: this is fucking incredible. Joe Flacco, he was traded today

575
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: to the Bengals. My overall take is he's got no chance.

576
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: He is probably the least mobile of any guy that

577
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: can be a starter in the NFL, Like right up

578
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: there with Kirk Cousins. Can't move at all, right, but

579
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: he's not a very good player anymore, and he's going

580
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: to a team with a horrendous offensive line. Horrendous offensive line.

581
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: Now I would have been like, well, why can't you

582
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: trade for like a younger, more mobile player, and who knows,

583
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: maybe you just get a little lightning in the bottle,

584
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of like last year when the Packers traded for

585
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: Malik Willis, were like, idiots, what are they doing? Then

586
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: he saw Milik Willis play, You're like, oh, not terrible?

587
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: Like why I would much rather do something like that

588
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: than trade for Joe Flacco, a guy in your division

589
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: who again incredible career, seems like a fucking awesome dude,

590
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: and teammate can't move in You're off defensive line is

591
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: like me and you and three other guys blocking, He's

592
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: gotta get killed. Jake Browning and Joe Burrow are dramatically

593
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: better athletes, and they're getting mollywoffed on a weekly basis.

621
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: In last but not least, there was this story that

622
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: I saw the Flourio put out that the NFL had

623
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: six double digit comebacks in one week. This was last

624
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: week for the first time since two thousand and three.

625
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: And we talked about this last week with the kicking balls,

626
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: that the kickers are now allowed to have all week

627
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 1: long instead of just an hour before the game, so

628
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: they can doctor the balls, you know, like the you know,

629
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: the Brady Deflaategate thing was you only got to deal

630
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: with the balls whatever the allotted time was pregame right, Well,

631
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: same thing with the kickers. You had an hour. Well

632
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: now you have all week long and you pick and

633
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: choose what balls you want to bring to the game.

634
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: And it's not really even arguable if you've been watching

635
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: football for ten, twenty thirty forty years, the sixty is

636
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: the new fifty, and honestly, like sixty five's the old fifty.

637
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are draining kicks from so deep

638
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: it's stupid. I mean, when you watch a sixty yard

639
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: field goal go in, how many times do you go, God,

640
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: that would have been good for like four or five

641
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: more yards. It's happening all the time. It wasn't that

642
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: long ago. When I was a kid, a fifty yard

643
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: field goal was a bomb. Teams would all the time

644
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: punt instead of kicking a fifty yard field goal. So

645
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: that has dramatically changed the math because we saw it

646
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: in the NBA. The three point shot had been around

647
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: for decades, but more and more people were shooting them

648
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: at a high clip, and more and more teams emphasized

649
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it and put guys that never shot three pointers. They

650
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: usually played down by the basket outside the three point line.

651
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: So now you see these crazy comebacks in basketball. I

652
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: used to gamble on basketball all the time when I

653
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: was in radio because I used to hammer the over

654
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: for the KD. Russ Westbrook, OKC. They would score so

655
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: many points their individual team overs the game overs, and

656
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: I just remember, like this is cake and them covering

657
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: the spread against random teams. That they were really good

658
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: for a couple of year period time, right before he

659
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: came to the Warriors. But the same thing with the Warriors.

660
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: They would destroy people. But now you can have a

661
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: twenty point game and all of a sudden you're not

662
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: really paying attention. The team hits like four to threes,

663
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's seven eight points right. Well,

664
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: on football, and we noticed this on Monday Night football,

665
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: you are much more one. You're not that far away

666
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: from field goal range just in general, if you have

667
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: sixty plus yard range. But this new kickoff rule has

668
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: dramatically changed the sport. We saw Harrison Butker couldn't just

669
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: kick it out of the end zone. Why because he

670
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: didn't want them to start at thirty five. So we

671
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: tried to have his cake and eat it too. He

672
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: tried to directionally pin them, and clearly they had probably

673
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: worked on it so they could tackle the guy withinside

674
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: the twenty five. But we see this happen all weekend

675
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: long when you try to do the pins right, almost

676
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: like a punt. Well, at a punt, if it goes

677
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: out of bounds at the two yard line, who cares well?

678
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: In the NFL, if it goes out of bounds on

679
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: the kickoff, you're starting at the forty yard line. So

680
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs go up four points, and then when they

681
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: kick off, the Jacks start at the forty fucking yard line,

682
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: and then they sack them essentially twice. Well, imagine if

683
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: they had just back in the day kicked the ball

684
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: through the end zone, they would have started the twenty

685
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: yard line. So even if he hits the forty yard

686
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: bomb on third and seven at the twenty three, they're

687
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: still at the thirty eight or forty yard they still

688
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: got a while to go. Instead he hits that starting

689
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: at the forty three yard line, they're basically in the

690
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: red zone. I do think the teams and listen. I'm

691
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: on board with the kicking changes. It is undeniably made

692
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: the game more entertaining. But a little like the three

693
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: point shot, like it's kind of fake, you know. You

694
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: know these comebacks, the ability if you've got thirty seconds

695
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: left and you're down a touchdown, well they kick it

696
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: out of bounds. You know, boom, I'm at the forty

697
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm one play away from being at the other forty

698
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: and I'm well within Hail marriat distance. Before if you

699
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: had thirty seconds left, you're probably gonna start lateraling it

700
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: three plays in because you're gonna have to go eighty yards.

701
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna have no shot. And if you're down a

702
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: touch or less than a field goal, you have a

703
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: very good chance to either tie the game or win

704
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: the game. So I do think Roger Goodell will say

705
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: this is unequivocally working, like there's no denying it. From

706
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: an entertainment standpoint. Then I think there would be people

707
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: like old school people. They probably don't like it because

708
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: they feel like we're kind of manipulating all this. You know,

709
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: before I would say the Chiefs win that game because

710
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: Trayner Lawrence in two minutes isn't going eighty yards. But

711
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: if you only has to go sixty, if you had

712
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: a forty three yard play, well shit, you've just made

713
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: up seventy five eighty percent of the yards you gotta go.

714
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't necessarily have a take. I'm entertained

715
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: by it, but I do think it's a just dramatically

716
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: different sport with this new kickoff rule and with the

717
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: kickers being able to doctor the balls then we have

718
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: ever witnessed, and the comebacks, the more points a little

719
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: more difficult to gamble on. You know, before, if you

720
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: had a three point lead with under forty five seconds

721
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: and they got no timeout, it's like there's no chance

722
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: they're getting in the field goal range. Now it's like

723
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: even if they start at thirty five, they're two plays away.

724
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: They're kickers in range, kickers in range with ease. Hell,

725
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: they're thinking like touchdown, let alone field goal. Okay, it's

726
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: that time of the day. It's actually just mailback time.

727
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: Middlecoff mailbag at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff is the Instagram.

728
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: Fire in those dms and get your questions answered here

729
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: on the show. Do you believe that Joe Flacco can

730
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: keep us in the mix until Joey B comes back?

731
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: I do not. I think you guys are completely screwed.

732
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: I would rather have for your team. I would rather

733
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: have Jake Browning than Joe Flacco. Ja. Joe Flacco cannot

734
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: move and your offensive line can't block, So you have

735
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: a guy who is a statue back there who is

736
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: not gonna have much time. You know, one thing with

737
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: Burrow and Browning, you know there has to be some mobility,

738
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: right I'm not looking Kyler Murray Lamar Jackson here, but

739
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: you have to be able to keep plays alive with

740
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 1: your legs and he cannot. I think the Flacco magic

741
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: of a couple of years ago in Cleveland was pretty cool,

742
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: but those that was a one time deal. This is over.

743
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: Do the Steelers have a defensive coordinator problem. I don't

744
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: think Austin is horrible, but he has no ability to

745
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: make adjustments. The last four or five years, we've had

746
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: great talent and some horrible defensive results. James games like

747
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: the Jets scoring thirty two this year, or like in

748
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: the PA last few seasons that made Zach Wilson and

749
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: Will Levis look great. When can we play based defense

750
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: and everything goes to plan, it looks good. But I

751
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: don't get why the run defense specifically isn't working. I

752
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: never see real adjustments being made. Letting Brian Flores walk

753
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: and not promoting him to DC when we had him

754
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: was a huge, huge mistake. I wanted to bring up

755
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: your guys schedule. I think sometimes in like the Flora situation,

756
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: it's easy to say that. I mean, it wasn't that

757
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: long ago Trell Austin was viewed as like a hot

758
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: coaching candidate. Listen, the division I think is over. If

759
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens lose this week and they're one to five,

760
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: they would be have eleven games left to get to

761
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: get to ten wins. They would have to go nine

762
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: and two to get to nine wins, they'd have to

763
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: go eight and three like they're not doing that. The

764
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: Browns and the Bengals stink like you guys are kind

765
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: of in the driver's seat. So you get the Browns

766
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: this week, should win. Then you get the Bengals, should win.

767
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: Then you get the Packers, Colts some tougher games. Then

768
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: you go to the Chargers, Bengals again. At the Bears, Bills,

769
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens they're in shambles, the Dolphins, the Browns again.

770
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Steelers are winning this division

771
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: at like ten and seven, you'll be fine. Now, to me,

772
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: your defense comes down to two things. Pass rush number one.

773
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: If TJ is gonna dominate and he's looked excellent these

774
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and other guys around him play

775
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: at a high level, your defense gonna be solid because

776
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: if you give a good pass rush to a competent

777
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, team's gonna be good. And then these corners

778
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: like Jalen Ramsey has a good season, you're gonna be okay.

779
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: But I do think it's easy to play the Brian

780
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: Flores game. They weren't gonna fire. Torell Austin for Brian

781
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: Floris at the time, not to take no question, just

782
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: a thought. I said to my coworker today. The James

783
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: Franklin is the college Mike Tomlin great during the regular season,

784
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: but anytime they play real team or get to the playoffs,

785
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: the rails fall off. Mike Tommins won a lot of

786
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: big games in the regular season and in the playoffs.

787
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't won a playoff game in a while, but

788
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: historically he's won some playoff games, won Super Bowl. Comparing

789
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: James Franklin to Mike Tomlin is not fair to Mike Tomlin.

790
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of funny because I think this current version

791
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: feels a little James Franklin. He but Mike tomins resume

792
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: speaks for herself. James Franklin's never won a big game,

793
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: never worst franchise decision Vikings letting Donald go or the

794
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: forty nine ers giving Purty over fifty million dollars a year.

795
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: It's got to be Donald because you could have just

796
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: had Donald with Addison, with Justin Jefferson with Hawkinson for

797
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: years to come, and your backup could have been JJ

798
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: McCarthy and maybe is a three year deal, and you

799
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: treat JJ McCarthy like Aaron Rodgers, he sits for three years.

800
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: To me, Purdy like earned the contract. He was a

801
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: really good player. Now he's injured and the forty nine

802
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: or somehow find backup quarterbacks that can play always. But

803
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna not pay him. They just weren't. I mean,

804
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: they talk about paid Purdy years ago. I love the pod.

805
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for the entertainment. Where does Daniel Hunter Danielle Hunter?

806
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't know why call him Danielle Daneil Hunter rank

807
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 1: in the top defensive players in the league. Ever since

808
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: he joined the Texans, they've had a top five defense.

809
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: It seems no one on the networks really mentions his name,

810
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: and they bring up the best of the best. The

811
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: man is only thirty with a hundred sacks. I remember

812
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: when I was doing radio, I got to know a

813
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of guys on the Raiders staff because I was

814
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: going to all the Raider games, and I got to

815
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: know John d. Philippo pretty well. He was the quarterback

816
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: coach for the Raiders with Dennis Allen, and then he

817
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: went on to the Eagles, and then he became the

818
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: OC for the Vikings for a couple of years with

819
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, and I remember texting him in his first

820
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: training camp. He's like, this is one of the biggest

821
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: freaks I've ever seen. He said, who He said, Hunter,

822
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: he is a dominant, dominant player. That was the first

823
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: time kind of came on my radar. That would have

824
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: been probably twenty eighteen range I would guess, Yeah. I mean,

825
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: he's just a freak show. I mean, they gave him

826
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: two years, fifty million dollars guaranteed it, basically every penny

827
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: for a reason. He's a monster, really good player. I

828
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: think part of it is, you know, we don't spend

829
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: much time talking about the Houston Texans. We just don't

830
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: unless they're really really good. But yeah, he's a badass.

831
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you put him with Will Anderson and their

832
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: dbs and Demico dialing up the defense, good defense. I

833
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: know you're not the biggest soccer fan in the world,

834
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: but with tickets going on sale this past week, I

835
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: wanted to ask if you're looking forward to the tournament,

836
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: given that it's across North America, and if there's any

837
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: players teams you'd want to get tickets to see in

838
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: the Bay or it's so fi Now I think I'm

839
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a watched the World Cup on TV game.

840
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: You know it's cool, it's coming here. It's gonna be

841
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: bad ass, gonna be a massive event. But I think

842
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: your boy is just gonna enjoy it on television. Here's

843
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: what I know. I am not, and I repeat, I

844
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: am not gonna get excited for our team. I do

845
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: not plan on us advancing. I plan on everyone complaining

846
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: after we lose a game that we should have won,

847
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: and then be winning a game that we shouldn't win

848
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: and end up tying it or losing it. Like my

849
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: expectations for our team. We do this every four years.

850
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm just not buying into it. I'll never forget. I've

851
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: told this story before the World Cup that would have

852
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: been twenty ten, I think was in Brazil and the

853
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: American team stopped off to play a like a friendly

854
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: at the Link and I was downstairs working out, and

855
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: they came to practice at our practice facility and I

856
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: was actually outside like running some gassers or something back

857
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: in my skinny days, and I just remember the team

858
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: doing a warm up basically around our fields, and that

859
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: they were like right next to me, and the only

860
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: guy I remember thinking like Tim Howard looked a part

861
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: the goalie, but the rest of the players, it's like,

862
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: we're so small, and that was you know, Landon, Donovan Dempsey,

863
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: some of those guys. But I just remember whenever we

864
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: watched some of these other teams, and I understand size

865
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: does a betteran Sorry, I get it, MESSI small, but

866
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: it does feel like some of these teams have more

867
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: blue chippers just athletic body types than us, and clearly

868
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: we're just not as good. But I'm done. I'm done

869
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: even pretending to get excited. I'll root for the when

870
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: we're playing, but my expectations for Team USA are zilch.

871
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: They do not exist. Everyone always complains like this was no,

872
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: this was not gonna be the year. We don't care

873
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: about soccer enough here. We care about football, We care

874
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: about a lot of sports, soccer on the importance of

875
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: our country. If it was more important, we'd be better, period,

876
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: point blank. Industry. I'm not sure why these teams keep

877
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to pooch kick the kickoffs late in the fourth quarter.

878
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 1: I think the risk reward really flops flips late games.

879
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: I've watched Seattle basically win a game because of a

880
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: bad pooch kick, which set them up for a field

881
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: goal with not much time left. I watched the Niners

882
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: last night. The Rams kicker Pooch kicked the ball in

883
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: overtime and it didn't make it to the landing zone,

884
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: meaning you start at the forty. Poor special teams coaching

885
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter. Why not just keep kicking

886
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: it deep in those situations because if you kick it

887
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: deep and you fly the landing zone into the end zone,

888
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: they will start at the thirty five. So you're kind

889
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: of getting greedy. You're hoping if you poochkick it correctly

890
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: that you will tackle them somewhere between the twenty and

891
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: twenty five and ten yards late in a game, especially

892
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: if they don't have timeouts, is a huge difference. But

893
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: you could argue the risk first reward. If you fuck

894
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: up like Butker did, like the Rams did, and I

895
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: give you the ball at the forty, that is a massive,

896
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: massive penalty for a screw up. It's like a poorly

897
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: thrown ball getting me fifty yards of pass interference. It's

898
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: pretty devastating. But I think it's hard for a coach

899
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: to go, yeah, just kick it through the end zone.

900
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: Start at the thirty five so I think there everyone's

901
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: still feeling this out. I don't think there's a right

902
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 1: or wrong way to do it, because if your pooch

903
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: kits kick works, you feel pretty good about it. A

904
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, I listened to your Sunday Night podcast

905
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: with Coward. The whole time you spoke with a very

906
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: strong lisp. I listened to your podcast almost daily. I've

907
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: never heard you speak like this was the glitch in

908
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: the matrix? Did you lose a bet with Colin? Or

909
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 1: what are what's to explain it? We have a video

910
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: and audio team at the volume, and the audio that

911
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm currently recording gets sent off to my guy, Adam.

912
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: He is a an audio wizard and no different with Colin.

913
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: So the raw audio that I send him that I'm

914
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: recording on like garage band from my computer, gets put

915
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: through programs to make like the echo in my room

916
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: and just any sort of sounds kind of dissipate, so

917
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: when you listen ideally it's really high quality. Now, I

918
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: got high quality equipment and you know, sound modifiers in

919
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: front of me, but this is not a studio. Now,

920
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: I'm building a studio right now for my backyard. But

921
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: even then, like this is not gonna be like Taylor

922
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: Swift recording an album in a legitimate music studio or

923
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: radio studio. Right, So we have a bunch of programs

924
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: that deal with everything from video to audio, and a

925
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: button got pressed. I got so many DM saying John,

926
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: did you drink pretty heavily? John? Did you have a

927
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: tooth removed? What is wrong with you? And after like

928
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: seven of those, I went and listened. I'm like, what

929
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: are these people talking about? And something like I think

930
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: in the program. The way it was explained to me

931
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: is one of the attributes of the audio program is

932
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: so like hard S's and listen. I screw up words

933
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: all the time. I try to say, I think extravaganza

934
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: the other night, and that word did not come out

935
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: of my mouth. So that there are gonna be things

936
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: that you can't fix, but there are, you know, things

937
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: that just make the audio quality better. But I think

938
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: a button was pressed and it did something with anything

939
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: that involved an s and made it sound insane, but

940
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: it was funny. I mean it will ultimately, but I

941
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: was not drunk. I didn't develop a list overnight. But

942
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: it's programs. The amount of stuff that goes on behind

943
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: the scenes with all this stuff is pretty crazy. Honestly,

944
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 1: I didn't even really, I think, grasp that until that

945
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: moment happened, and then I had it explain to me, Oh,

946
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: that's cool. What is your opinion of Justin Fields. Does

947
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: he have the potential like a Baker or a Daniel Jones,

948
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: to where he could manage a team and bring them

949
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: to a championship with the right pieces around him. I'm

950
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: a Michigan State fan, so I have no loyalty to him,

951
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: but I feel like people aren't seeing the improvements he

952
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: has made with bad franchises and defensive coaches. Also f

953
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals for screwing over Burrow and Jake Browning by

954
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: trading for Flacco. I would not. I would say, listen,

955
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: if Daniel Jones can play this well, then yeah, maybe Fields.

956
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: But I would not compare Baker Mayfield to Justin Fields.

957
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: He's a dramatically better natural passer of the ball, natural

958
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: feel for the pocket. He's a dramatically better player. But

959
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: when you see someone like Daniel Jones resurrect his career,

960
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: you would say, you know, Fields to me, has been

961
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: really impressive off the field with the Bear situation, with

962
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: obviously the Steeler situation. The Jets are a joke, So

963
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: like my expectations for his play aren't great though, like

964
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: I would say, Justin Fields has not been a very

965
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: good NFL quarterback most of his career. He's an excellent runner,

966
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: but when it comes to passing the ball, he struggles.

967
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: He has a big arm, and listen, I was wrong.

968
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: I loved him coming out. I thought you could make

969
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: the argument that he was a better prospect, or more

970
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: intriguing prospect than Trevor Lawrence. And I had buddies in

971
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: the league. They were like, you're on cocaine. I'm like, no,

972
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: I just I just like this guy. I think his

973
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: attributes are better. And I'm not the biggest Trevor Lawrence guy,

974
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: but he's he's a more natural player. And I wouldn't

975
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: even call Trevor Lawrence the most like instinctive natural player

976
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: relative to his talents. But Fields, there's just like a

977
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: lack of rhythm and feel to this to the game.

978
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: And at quarterback, when you lack the field and rhythm

979
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: to passing is it's hard to play. I mean, the

980
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: stat that went viral of Justin Fields is like I

981
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: think he's like, oh, In twenty five when someone scores

982
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: Let me just bring this up, Justin Fields is oh

983
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: and twenty six as a starter when the opponent scores

984
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty one points. That's that's an insane stat. It'd be

985
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 1: one thing if it's like he's all in twenty six

986
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: when they score forty points, Like, yeah, he's playing on

987
00:53:53,320 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: terrible teams. Twenty one points. So it's nice way of

988
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: saying as a starting quarterback, I'm out now. Daniel Jones

989
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: Like they got him for fourteen million dollars? What I

990
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: paid Justin Fields one year? Ten million dollars? Sure, they

991
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: gave him two years forty million dollars, thirty million guaranteed.

992
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: I was like, that's that felt like a little pricey

993
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: relative the way he played. I would have said the

994
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: Colts would have been insane if they would have given

995
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones that contract. Or what's it gonna take for

996
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles to pull the trigger and fire Patula to

997
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: prevent another BJ situation? I said, BJ's Brian Johnson. You

998
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: think Nick still believes in his buddy? My fear is

999
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: the offensive talent the roster will delay an inevitable firing.

1000
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: I do think sometimes Thursday night games whether you're an

1001
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: elite team or a bad team, can just be weird,

1002
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: especially as the season goes on. You're tired, quick turnaround coaches,

1003
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: can't sleep. It's just the games could be really wacky.

1004
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: So like, if the Eagles in a perfect world had

1005
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: the number one offense in the league right now, it

1006
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me at all if they played this Giant's

1007
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: team and won, like fifteen to ten Thursday night, You're tired,

1008
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: road game, very believable. But if I tell you right

1009
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: now they win this game fifteen to ten on prime

1010
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: time with everyone watching, it's it's only going to get louder.

1011
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know the guy personally, but it's a

1012
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: tough place to be with the expectations, with the amount

1013
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: of talent on the offense, I mean, it's immense with

1014
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can be just a little fickle. I mean,

1015
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 1: he's one of the more bizarre players in the league history.

1016
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: He really is, because I don't know, I just don't

1017
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: ever remember a guy quite like Jalen Hurts, where it's

1018
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: like you just ask a random guy, You're like, is

1019
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: he a really good player? Was like, he's done some

1020
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: really good things. He has a lot of talent, but

1021
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: like you can to watch him on games, we're like,

1022
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: this guy's terrible. But is it like the coordinator. I

1023
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I've seen him with good coordinators have bad

1024
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: games too, But then he's had great games in the

1025
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, So I don't I don't know one thing

1026
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: I think he hesitates to do. He did a little

1027
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: more last year because remember two years ago he didn't

1028
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: do it and he was kind of banged up. Is

1029
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: like it an't he should run more. He's way more

1030
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: accomplished than bo Nicks. But Tony Romo was talking about

1031
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: this in the Bronco game. I guess they were playing

1032
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles, So if you're an Egle fan, you were

1033
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: watching the game too. It's like, Boat, just take off.

1034
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: Every once in a while. It's like getting the free

1035
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: throw line. As a basketball player, it's like I'm over

1036
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: nine from deep. Well, yeah, get an easy basket, get

1037
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: to the hole, get fouled, see a couple hit the net.

1038
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 1: This isn't that fucking complicated. It's like, Jalen, just take off, Boat,

1039
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: just take off. If you're if you're struggling a little bit,

1040
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: just game ten yards. Mahomes and Josh Allen do it

1041
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 1: all the time, and they're not even trying to get

1042
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: a rhythm. They're just trying to gain you yards. But

1043
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: they just like, go utilize your feet. More Browns fan

1044
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: here sadly, what do you think should be done about Stefanski?

1045
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: I like him and think we should keep him till

1046
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: we get a quarterback one because it's hard to be

1047
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: consistent when there's no consistency at the most important position

1048
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: in the league quarterback. I don't know, man, I think.

1049
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: I think the Browns have found themselves in this ugly,

1050
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: unenviable position. They made a move with Baker Mayfield and

1051
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: it's one of the all time failures this guy. If

1052
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield wins the MVP and you are shuffling through Flacco,

1053
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel as your team wins three

1054
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: or four games, and you're just an embarrassment while you

1055
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: pay a guy fifty sixty million dollars to rehab who

1056
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: you are gonna cut the moment you don't know him

1057
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: as much money anymore. It's tough to shake, you know,

1058
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's easy. You know, people like media,

1059
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: people that don't like what we do will always be like, oh,

1060
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: you're just so hyperbolic, just talking head, just saying this,

1061
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: Like I understand why they moved on from Baker Mayfield.

1062
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 1: That doesn't change the fact that four or five years

1063
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: later we're in a position where he might win the

1064
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: MVP of the league. And if you're the Browns who

1065
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: drafted him number one overall, and yeah, it was he

1066
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: a little immature. Sure, they traded for a guy that

1067
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: could not stay out of the massage therapists giving him handies.

1068
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an all time story. We've never seen

1069
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: anything like. It's like quarterback, good looking guy should get

1070
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: laid with eaves. It's like, now, this guy was just

1071
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: addicted to going to massages and then he's terrible. He's

1072
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: kind of a weird dude, and clearly people aren't that

1073
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: into him, and then he sucks at football. I mean,

1074
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: it's an all time disaster, it really is. And I

1075
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: have a hard time putting that on Stefanski. But the

1076
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: simple reality is you fire coaches before you fire players.

1077
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: And if they would have, they could have fired DeShawn

1078
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: Jacks or Deshaun Watson. They would have fired him a

1079
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: year ago. We'd fire him right now. They can't so

1080
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: can these guys survive just losing week after week? I

1081
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: would say, based on their owner's history, I still can't

1082
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: believe when you think about the Watson situation. Now, they

1083
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: thought he was a star, so they went, who cares

1084
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: about the massage situation? But then they get him and

1085
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: he's not a star, and that thing just would not

1086
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: go away, like pretty embarrassing. I mean, it's really kind

1087
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: of a low level thing, and I'm not moral high

1088
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: horse to act like. You know a lot of people

1089
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: listening been to their massage therapists over the years, right,

1090
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: But relative to in his situation now, I see some

1091
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: of these pictures now, like with his new fiance, it's

1092
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: just it's just it's just weird. It's kind of just, yeah,

1093
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: this guy's just toxic. I mean, the Browns can't wait

1094
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: to get rid of de Shaan Watson, and no team

1095
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: will ever sign him ever again. Think about that Henry

1096
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Ruggs who got wasted top Golf and killed the chicken

1097
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: or dog. We'll get another chance. He will when he

1098
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: gets out of prison. He will get a workout. Wouldn't

1099
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,959
Speaker 1: shock me at all if he's at OTA's or training camp.

1100
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson will never play for another NFL team whenever

1101
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: he is cut within the next twenty four months ever.

1102
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: And I don't say that lightly, like I don't just

1103
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: say teams do not care. But he is to me,

1104
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: he's untouchable, terrible and a whack job. Is there any

1105
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: worse combination? Like ideally, do you know what you want?

1106
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: Good player, great guy Malmes. You know that's high character guy.

1107
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Teammates love him, never gets in trouble, good player, That's

1108
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: that's what you're working. The least desirable is like, you know,

1109
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: he sucks, whack job, got about seventeen lawsuits coming after him.

1110
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, don't really want to get in yu

1111
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: with that. But that, to me's on Jimmy Haslam, not

1112
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: on the GM and the owner. With how obviously important

1113
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: the NFL front office is to team's success, can you

1114
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: expand on these roles? The GM is a critical piece.

1115
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: Is the GM exclusively responsible for the salary cap or

1116
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: is there a finance guy that helps run the cap? Also?

1117
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Can you expand on what the pay for front offices?

1118
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: What is the GM pay? How much would the second

1119
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: third guys in line make? I think it depends right,

1120
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Like Howie Roseman is intimately involved in the salary cap.

1121
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Now they pay people you know Jake Rosenberg, who is

1122
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: there forever and now you know whoever filled his spot,

1123
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: who worked the day to day cap numbers and contract negotiations,

1124
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: but how he has intimate knowledge of how that works.

1125
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: And then you know a guy like Jason light who

1126
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: has said, like I depend like I understand the basics

1127
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: of it, but I'm not the nitty gritty of the

1128
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: contract right like John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan depend on

1129
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Perrague and his team to run point on the contracts.

1130
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Right now, they determine value and how much you want

1131
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: a guy and stuff. But most of these teams, now,

1132
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: with how much money's on the line, it is ran

1133
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: by a financial, an individual with the financial background. I

1134
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: think the GM would very team, the team, you know.

1135
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I think the highest paid GMS in the league would

1136
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: be like Howie Roseman, John Schneider. I mean I would

1137
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: this would be an educated guess. I'd say eight to

1138
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. John Lynch makes a ton. I think

1139
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: John Lynch makes like ten million dollars. I would imagine

1140
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: less Sneed makes a lot. And then the low paid

1141
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: GMS you know, probably make a couple of million dollars.

1142
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, a guy like Brett Veach when he first

1143
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: got the job was probably making a million. And then

1144
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you start winning Super Bowls, you start can ask to

1145
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: take in names that thing five six, seven x's. So

1146
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: I think the pay varies from anything from like two million,

1147
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: like Dan Morgan with Carolina, probably one of the lower

1148
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: paid guys, which again relative to society making two three

1149
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: million dollars, and then you have guys making ten plus.

1150
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: I think the number two would probably, very on experience,

1151
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: would run you. I mean I've had different people tell

1152
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: me anywhere from like eight hundred grand to a million

1153
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: dollars as like the true number two GM. But it

1154
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: also varies like where do you live? Because paying you

1155
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: a million dollars to be the forty nine ers number

1156
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 1: two is essentially the same of being probably paid six

1157
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: hundred grand to be the chief's number two. So if

1158
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: you can get and this is the argument that I've

1159
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: had buddies tell me that their owner will be like, well,

1160
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: we're in you know, this city is way less expensive

1161
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: than you're comparing this to the guy in la or

1162
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: the guy in New York. So I think you battle

1163
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: some of those, so that that depends. I think the

1164
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: number two is typically under a million dollars, but high

1165
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: six figures, seven eight, nine hundred grand, and then once

1166
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: you start going below that, it's simply based on experience.

1167
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: How much you know, some franchises are cheaper than others.

1168
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: But you can find college directors making five hundred grand.

1169
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: You could probably find some that make two hundred and

1170
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars. But I mean, these are obviously

1171
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: good jobs. The other thing about a college director is

1172
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: some of these guys don't live in their area. So

1173
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: like I could be the college director for the forty

1174
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: nine ers, but potentially live in like Dallas, Texas, right

1175
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: or for the Philadelphia Eagle, and it lives somewhere else.

1176
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean I'm I'm going to the facility,

1177
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: going to games a lot, but my home base can

1178
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: be somewhere different. And then you know, scouts on the

1179
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: road probably you know I started like fifty grand, and

1180
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: that was fifteen years ago, a little less, probably twelve,

1181
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: But you can find anyone making sixty seventy grand. You

1182
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: can find guys making two hundred grand, So it probably

1183
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: varies that way. So obviously gms make less than coaches.

1184
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: The high end guys like you know, the high end

1185
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: coaches are making fifteen to twenty million. The gms are

1186
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: making you know, the good the good ones and accomplished

1187
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ones are making seven to ten. So I

1188
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: mean these there's a lot of money getting thrown around.

1189
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: That's why I always say Wall Street on grass, But

1190
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: I think the college director would say, are wide receiver

1191
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: coaches making seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Coaches make

1192
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: way more than scouts. The coordinators are all making millions.

1193
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: But you have these position coaches, you know, like a

1194
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: running back coach if he's been in the league twenty

1195
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: years might be making seven and seventy five thousand dollars.

1196
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Right a linebacker coach who's got fifteen year experience might

1197
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: be making six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The position

1198
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL and college and the SEC, the

1199
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: big tent are making a ton, I mean huge money.

1200
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: And obviously the coordinators, you know, the Fangio's, the Chip Kelly's,

1201
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: the Robert Salas. These guys are making four to six

1202
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. It's a good time to be

1203
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, right, But it's also why there can

1204
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: be some bitterness. Some of these, like road scouts, get

1205
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: angry because they go like, I'm making one hundred and

1206
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: fifty K. I am on the road eighty percent of

1207
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: the year, I scout. You know, guys, we're gonna draft

1208
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: in the first second round and I'm making nothing relative

1209
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: to my profession what other guys in my building are making.

1210
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some bitterness and resentment there. For sure.

1211
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: The volume
