Makes it easy. Okay, let's dive into Dak 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Prescott and over the weekend, maybe Monday morning. I I 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: can't even keep track. It was reported it it must 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: have been Sunday that Dak Prescott will sign his franchise 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: tender of a comfortable amount of money thirty one point 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: four million dollars to be the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: Now they still have several weeks till the middle of 44 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: July to uh get a long term deal ironed out. 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: But I've always wondered this, and I think my generation, 46 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the number show we're getting married a lot later, having 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: kids a lot later my parents generation. I mean my 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: parents were older, but the majority of their friends and 49 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: people's you know, in the fifties, sixties, seventies got married 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: very young and had children very young. And I never 51 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: understood rushing into marriage. Now I've never been married. I'm 52 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: a single guy. Uh, but you know I've dated many people. 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm dating someone right now, and there is a process 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: to get to know them right. It takes time. You 55 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't go three months in. You know, you hear some 56 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: of these stories like uh movies about it, I knew 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: right away get married. Typically those don't work out. You 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: see some of these reality shows. For the most part, 59 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm red flag in those situations, and I just don't 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: understand the rush when there are major question marks and 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: it happens. We see it all the time. That's why 62 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: the divorce right now, because it's much more normal to 63 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: get divorced in two thousand twenty than maybe it was. 64 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean, clearly it wasn't like divorce rates really I 65 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people find out I don't 66 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: like the person. And here's the thing. Once you have kids, 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: once your job situation, what you've been married a certain 68 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: amount of time, depending on the state, it gets very expensive. 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: The NFL is no different. When you rush into situations 70 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: financially and put a lot of guaranteed money in front 71 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: of players, it can be a very very expensive mistake. 72 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Now you go, John Well, the Cowboys have been dating 73 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: this guy for four years. I'd say, yeah, Jerry and 74 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: Stephen Half and if Jason Garrett was still there, I'd go, 75 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: this is a little weird. They haven't signed him to 76 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: a long term contract. But they got a new coach 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: and his name is Mike McCarthy and he's never coached 78 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott for a day in his life. Now, part 79 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: of it is these crazy circumstances didn't have a chance 80 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: to work together in O. T A. S. But you 81 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: can't convince me that Mike McCarthy is banging the drum 82 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: for them to sign him. To add forty million dollar contract. 83 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: Because if I was Jerry and I could take a 84 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: step back. Now I know it's already's in his late seventies, 85 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: so it probably would have to be Stephen and kind 86 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: of being the voice of reason and everything that's been 87 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: reported over the last decade. Stephen has become that kind 88 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: of a calming voice, not as emotionally invested into everything, 89 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: has learned from his dad, feels like a pretty high 90 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: level guy and kind of can beat this. Buffer and 91 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have become, let's face it, very very stable 92 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: over these last seven of years. You could argue too 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: stable because they let Jason Garrett coach for too long, 94 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: but that's you know, water under the bridge. They're at 95 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: where they're at now. And they got Mike McCarthy. Who 96 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: if I was the Cowboys, that I was Steven Jones, 97 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: I played out like this, I date him for another year. Now. 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: It's an expensive date, thirty one point four million dollars. 99 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: But what has Dak Prescott done Where you would go, 100 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: you know what? And again you'd say, well, Middlecoff, Jared 101 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: Goff got huge money. I'd say I wouldn't pay Jared 102 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Goff huge money. Carson Wentz got huge money. I would 103 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: be more likely to pay Carson Wentz money just because 104 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: of his physical attributes that are far superior from Jared 105 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Goff and Dak Prescott. Now, Jared Goff has accomplished more 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: than Dak. He had success two years ago in the playoffs, 107 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: was starting quarterback for a team that was in the 108 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl. But he has severe limitations. And I'm a 109 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: Jared Goff fan. He can't move when he's in the pocket, 110 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: and their offensive line isn't very good. He can't move. 111 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: He's an old school, you know, pocket quarterback. He's not 112 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: an athlete. That's the one thing Dak Prescott brings to 113 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: the table. Now, I'd have to really dive in which 114 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: guy I'd rather have. I probably lean Dak. But again 115 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: I understand in football typically when it comes to these contracts, 116 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: it's based on comparables. I just I look at if 117 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm the Cowboys, I go I don't want to do 118 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: what the Rams did with Jared Goff. Though Dak Prescott 119 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: it may turn out that he's better. I gotta see 120 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: him work under this coach. The one thing the Rams 121 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: had is they had set two years of Jared Goff 122 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: operating with Sean McVeigh. I don't know how this thing 123 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: is gonna look. And if I get into a situation 124 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: where I've guaranteed him a hundred ten million dollars and 125 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: we go through the season and it goes, yeah, this 126 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: isn't really working. Whatever whatever it is with McCarthy, they 127 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: don't really mesh. I'm not saying that's gonna happen, but 128 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: it's a possibility. We don't know what is the point 129 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: of Russia to Vegas and getting married. And I understand 130 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: he's been there for a while, but they change coaching 131 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: staffs and anyone that falls football, especially the NFL. When 132 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: coaching staffs change, there are major major changes within the 133 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: personnel department. And I don't mean the scouting department, and 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: sometimes that happens too. I'm talking about the personnel on 135 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: the team. There's usually a lot of turnover. Now, what 136 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: makes the Cowboys unique is they have a lot of 137 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: set guys. They remind me a little bit of when 138 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Harbaugh came to the Niners. Though they'd had the Cowboys 139 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: have had a little more success recently. They have a 140 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: lot of really good players. They have a lot of 141 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: players that a lot of coaches would line up to coach. 142 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: They have a roster that many coaches probably would take 143 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: over their own roster right now. But I still think 144 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback is a major question mark. And when I 145 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: say a major question mark, he's good. I know that 146 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: I can compete with him. But ultimately, if I'm gonna 147 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: give a guy thirty five million dollars and basically guarantee 148 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: four years of that, because that adds up to about 149 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: one ten, one twenty in that range, maybe three and 150 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: a half years, but I mean, I'm committing to him. 151 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: I am getting married to the guy. I gotta know 152 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: and feel good when I lay my head at night. 153 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: You know, I got a top five or six quarterback. 154 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't like doing what the Minnesota Vikings did, given 155 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: a guy a five million dollars and then extending him 156 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: another sixty million dollars when I know, you know, I 157 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: get he won a playoff game last year, but let's 158 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: call a spade a spade. I'm never walking into a 159 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: game against the top flight quarterback and feeling I got 160 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: the better guy, because that's not the case. Now. Maybe 161 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: Dad takes a huge step this year and him and 162 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy match, and then you go, you know, what and 163 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: maybe they win a couple of playoff games and you go, 164 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: this guy kind of like Russell Wilson, where early on 165 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: those first three or four years, you know, they were 166 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: like Colin Coward was always out ahead of it, and 167 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: there was a select few of people but there were 168 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people on the other side going he 169 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: wasn't good enough. And ever since that, the second four 170 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: or five years, he took off like a rocket ship. 171 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: And Dad could easily be that type player. But the 172 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: one thing that Russell always had was the same freaking 173 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: head coach and the one thing Dac now has a 174 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: new head coach who's had a lot of success with 175 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: another really talented quarterback. So one thing you'd say with 176 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, once he gets his hands on Dak Prescott, 177 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: once he works with Dak Prescott, once he runs an 178 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: offense with Dak Prescott, he'll have a pretty good idea 179 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: because he's got a pretty good basis. Now, no one 180 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: thinks Dak Prescott is gonna be a good Daron Rodgers. 181 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: But if he goes well, he can do some of 182 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: these things. I we won like this in the playoffs 183 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: with doing this, this guy can do that. I feel 184 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: comfortable paying him because you don't hire Mike McCarthy, even 185 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that are run by the owner, if you're 186 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: not gonna give him a lot of sway and a 187 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: lot of pool when it comes to the guy throwing 188 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: the football and he's an offensive mind, he's a technically 189 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator now calling the plays technically Kellen Moore, 190 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: you know who knows. Cowboys kind of a weird deal 191 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: that way, But it's it's Mike's baby. Let's let's just 192 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: be real and I would play this year out. Now, 193 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: I've said before, if you really wanted to sign him 194 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: a long term, I'd have no issue were sending the 195 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: franchise tag. You would have had to do this before 196 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: he signed it and going doc, what is your market? 197 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys clearly respect this guy a lot that 198 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: that's a low level move. It just is. Even though 199 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: it is the right business move. When you have a 200 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: lot of respect for a guy, when you believe in 201 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: the person, when he's done right by you, you don't 202 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: do business that way. So while it would be just 203 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: in a vacuum dollars and cents, the right business move, 204 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: because I don't think anyone would even come close to 205 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: compete to some of the offers that clearly the Cowboys 206 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: have already made. Uh, they're gonna ride this out. I 207 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: would just ride out this season. I would not extend 208 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: him unless he would sign some really team friendly deal, 209 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: which it sure as hell feels like he's in no 210 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: business to do. And that's his prerogative. But I also 211 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: think it's the Cowboys prerogative, like there's no reason to 212 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: put a ring on it. Just just let it play 213 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 1: out a little bit. Let your new guy, who essentially 214 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: for as much as Jerry we see Jerry Jerry talks. 215 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: I love Jerry Jones. He's a legend. He ain't coaching 216 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: the team he has. Jerry Jones has as much power 217 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: on game day as mirror you. Once the game kicks off, 218 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: he does nothing. He sits there, He drinks the diet coke. 219 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: He eats some popcorn. No different than you sitting at 220 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: your house, you know, eating some snacks watching the Cowboy game. 221 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: If you're a Cowboy fan, or even if you're just 222 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: not a Cowboy fan, just watching whatever your team is. 223 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: You know, the owner has no pull. Now he has 224 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: more poll you know, during the week he can say 225 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: we gotta cut this guy or whatever. But when it 226 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: comes to Doc, and when it comes to the offense, 227 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: Darry ain't doing a damn thing. So Mike, it's Mike 228 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: McCarthy is the one. A coach told me this one time. 229 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: He said, it's so easy for you guys in personnel 230 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: to go, yeah, this guy is a bad character guy, 231 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: but he can really play. Because you draft the guy 232 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: in the first or second round, everyone applauds in the 233 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: draft room. If the guy is a highly touted guy 234 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: through Mel Kuyper or DJ or now whoever in the 235 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: in the business, you get a standing oh on Twitter, 236 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: and then I gotta deal with him in the meeting room. Well, 237 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: he's a pain in the ass. Now, clearly Doc is 238 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: a super high character guy, not a pain that way. 239 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: But from a football standpoint, I gotta let these guys 240 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: date a little bit. I gotta let Mike McCarthy and 241 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott spend a lot of time together before I 242 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: feel comfortable giving him a huge contract. Okay, let's dive 243 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: into some college football. And because in the NFL, I 244 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: think until the forty Niners, who had someone they had 245 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: a Nashville basically O t a s uh attended by 246 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: a lot of players and someone tested positive in that 247 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: really is the only situation we've seen. Now we've seen 248 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: individual players test positive. Von Miller. Uh, I think Kareem Jackson. 249 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm probably missing some, but that those were all in 250 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: situations where they got it on their own training, right. 251 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: We had a situation with forty niners where they got 252 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: it as a group or someone got it as a group. 253 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: We don't have any more information. Uh. And then the 254 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: NFL p A came out and highly recommended. Because they 255 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: don't have they can't like force anyone to do it. 256 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: No more of these personal workouts, so you get back 257 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: through ther team. College football is a little different, you 258 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: know in the SEC and a lot of these programs 259 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: have been together now for two or three weeks. I mean, 260 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: I remember I fall mac Brown on Twitter saw a 261 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: picture I think like three weeks ago in North Carolina. 262 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: He's like back in the office with all the boys. 263 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: It's all the pictures of the players coming in. And 264 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: we've seen several incidents from l s U I think 265 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: had players clemsing a bunch, Alabama, Auburns had some. I 266 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: think Iowa today had nine. I think the best number 267 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: I saw was Notre Dame had ninety players tested. They 268 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: only had one guy. And every time I see it, 269 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: I am I'm not shocked to see the reaction because 270 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: the media in general is very, very emotional. They're all emotion, 271 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: and I mean if we followed them now, I mean, listen, 272 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: I technically in the media. I just always consider myself 273 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: more of a hybrid. I follow a lot of these 274 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: guys and I just see their Twitter feeds. It's all emotion, uh, 275 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: And I get it. I just can't control it. But 276 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't freak out when I see this because I'm 277 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: not a Corona expert, uh, not a doctor. I don't 278 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: know anything. Everything I read and everything I see changes 279 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: by the day. I think it's pretty simple that none 280 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: of us know. And I get a lot of d 281 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: ms that are that hit me up for people tweeting 282 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: at me, like middle you're getting scared football is not 283 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: gonna happen. I don't know. I don't control any of it. 284 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: I've said from the jump the NFL will do everything 285 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: in their power to play, and it's strictly because of 286 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: and thing money, and that benefits the players too. They 287 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: are in bed together. They are revenue sharing partners. So 288 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: for every dollar the players get a football related revenue, 289 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good deal, right If you're making a 290 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: billion dollars four seventy million dollars, if it's two billion dollars, 291 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: you do the math right, And they have financial reasons 292 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: to do it. College the same thing, while they're not 293 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: technically paying the players on the books. We know for 294 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: a fact. I say this all the time. We have 295 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: factual information from the FEDS. These players get paid under 296 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: the table. So I hate it when we say players 297 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: don't get paid because in a lot of these conferences, 298 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: especially the South, we know they are. Again, Nope, no, 299 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: I have no issue with it. I don't mind it 300 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: at all. It doesn't it's capitalism, free market, the n 301 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: C double A is not the law. It doesn't bother 302 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: me at all. But I I can never pretend these 303 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: guys aren't getting cash and benefits. Now, could they do 304 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: more in the likeness, for sure, that's another conversation. But 305 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: here's a reality. Because all these players at L s 306 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: U who had like I think twenty three or thirty 307 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: or some ungodly maybe they were thirty and Clemson was 308 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: twenty three. I think there was a breakout in a 309 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: nightclub in l s U. Where I live in California. 310 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: We have been slower to open things up like right 311 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: now are we can't in certain in the Bay Area 312 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: in l A. You can't eat inside now if you 313 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: go to nap if you go to Sacramento, you can 314 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: eat inside. But the majority I think about eight million 315 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: people in the Bay Area, you know, obviously like twenty 316 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: million people down South, large percentage of people cannot eat insides. 317 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: We're limited to what we can do. But I do 318 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: know this. I have a younger brother who's thirty years old. 319 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people in Hell. A lot 320 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: of people that you're listening are in your twenties. I 321 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: interact with a lot of you. Young people do not care. 322 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: They don't and I don't technically blame them for not 323 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: being scared of this virus. They were told from the 324 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: jump they can't be affected. Now it doesn't mean they 325 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: can't get it, but we've seen the numbers that the 326 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: factual data that all the things they're more likely to 327 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: die from, like driving a car down the freeway. So 328 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: when these guys and I follow these guys on Instagram, 329 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: they're not scared. Now personally, I'm just speaking for myself. 330 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm not scared of the virus. I'm more scared of 331 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: financially the second half of the years, the economy gonna back, 332 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: bounce back. Are my advertisers on the other podcast gonna 333 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: come flooding back? My worries right now in two thousand 334 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: twenty are all financial zero virus. Now, my mom, you know, 335 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: had cancer before, breast cancer. She's gotta worry about it 336 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: because she is in the She's in the right down 337 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: the middle of the of the group that it severely impacts. 338 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: When you talk about these college football players who already 339 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: have a crazy self, I don't even know how to 340 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: describe it. Not arrogance, but confidence. I think you're untouchable, 341 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: and then you're told yeah, nothing's really gonna happen, and 342 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: then you get back with your team just operating in 343 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: team activities. I am not shocked to see a lot 344 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: of these guys, A lot of these programs have a 345 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of guys test positive. Because if you think that 346 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: everywhere they go their social distances and wearing masks, you're 347 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: just crazy, you're ignorant, you're just wrong, and they're not 348 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: going to start They just aren't you know? So, I 349 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: think college football, we're in the NFL, it's gonna be 350 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: pretty simple. When when they tell these guys, and I 351 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: think just the sport of football, and we've talked about 352 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: it before, is very difficult to operate with these with 353 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: these rules, it's not even possible. I mean John Harbaugh 354 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh have gone on record, and I think John 355 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,719 Speaker 1: Harbaugh says it's not possible, and Sean McVeigh says it's impossible. 356 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't socially distance to play football. They're 357 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: like oxymoron. They're they're on the opposite side of the spectrum. 358 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: To play football is about being close right the huddle, tackling, 359 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: what what do you? What do Defensive coordinators tell their 360 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: defensive players group tackle, gang, tackle, run to the football 361 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: pile ups. I mean offensive defensive lines literally touch every play. 362 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: So it's very difficult practice just the showers and locker room. 363 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: It's very very hard. But I think at least with 364 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: the NFL, you could say, listen, we have to do 365 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: every precaution possible for you guys to play so you 366 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: get your money, and a lot of these guys make 367 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Even the minimum, guys are making 368 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: six dollars, So these guys are gonna be very cognizant 369 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: of it. In college is a little more difficult. Well, 370 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: the booster money keeps flowing for these coaches to tell them, 371 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they are hammering at home. It's just 372 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: harder to get a nineteen year old guy to listen 373 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: to anything. When I was eighteen nineteen, I didn't listen 374 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: to a damn thing. Hell, I didn't really start listening 375 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: probably to like three or four years ago. It's just, 376 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, guys on it as a mature Now, some 377 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: guys on the team will be and I've heard stories. 378 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: I was playing golf with someone who coached a kid 379 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: in high school who's going to Stanford who's actually already there, 380 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: like he's concerned, you know. So they're gonna be individuals 381 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: for sure. But I think on the whole, the vast 382 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: majority are not really gonna think about it that much 383 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: until they're not allowed to play or until they have 384 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: to quarantine. And I think it's gonna be much more 385 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: difficult for college football to contain and corral and just 386 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: hammer home what they need to do to avoid it, 387 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: and to be honest, there might be there might be 388 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: a chance that it's unavoidable that these do you guys 389 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: are just gonna test positive all season long just because 390 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: the way they're gonna live, the nature of the sport. 391 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: But I'm not here to pretend like I know more 392 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: about you know what's going on in terms of the 393 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: virus than you like most people on Twitter, because I don't, 394 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: because none of us do. The information changes daily. One 395 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: day it's the worst, one day it's getting back. I 396 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: don't know it literally changed. You can read something on 397 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: any given day. You can read it's the worst day 398 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: yet or the best day yet, given what statistics they 399 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: want to use to you know, lean their argument. And 400 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: it's why I've just tried to tell me to wear 401 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: a mask in the building. I'll wear a mask in 402 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: the building. But if you think I'm spending all day 403 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: thinking about it at this point in time, I'm not. 404 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: Now indirectly I am because it impacts my business. I 405 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: worry about football being played or you know what I'm 406 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 1: gonna talk about on a daily basis. But and just 407 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: like I can easily put myself in your shoes if 408 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: you are nervous about it or think about it all 409 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: the time. I don't blame you, I I completely understand. 410 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: But I know this from just being around college football 411 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: players for many years, following just several college football programs 412 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: on like in star players on Instagram and even younger 413 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: NFL guys. They just don't care. I mean, they're just 414 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: and I think young people all across the country. You 415 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: saw I saw Justin Thomas. They were in Hilton Head 416 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: in South Carolina for the PGA golf tournament and he's like, God, 417 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: you leave the course, you go around, people are just 418 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: no one cares. I mean, I'm out in Walna Creek 419 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: in California. We have an outdoor dining now. People are everywhere. 420 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: People are tired of being cooped up. They're losing their minds. 421 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: So the young people especially, it's just I think college 422 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: football while there's a ton on the line right if 423 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: college football has not played this fall, say bye bye 424 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: to the softball coach, Say bye bye to all the 425 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: volleyball scholarships, say bye bye to college baseball, Say bye 426 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: bye to the wrestling program, say bye bye to the 427 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: swimming program. They literally pay for everything. Bye bye to 428 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: the seven assist and ate athletic directors. There's no money 429 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: so all the money depends on them. It's just a 430 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: little more difficult to set up the n C double A, 431 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: the money factor, the health factor with with younger people. Uh, 432 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: and technically you know, quote unquote kids, it's it's definitely 433 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: probably gonna be a little bit of a challenge. Okay, 434 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: let's do something fun and uh, let's dive in to 435 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: the guys who are going to be sophomores this upcoming season. 436 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: Second year players, guys that were drafted in two thousand nineteen. 437 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: I basically picked my five favorite breakout candidates. You know, 438 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: there were guys that had really good seasons Nick Bosa, 439 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: uh A J Brown, DK Metcalf, Josh Jacobs. There are 440 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: players that broke out. They're just good, right we we 441 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: know right away that doesn't happen for everyone. Sometimes it 442 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: takes time for guys to prove they're worth in the league. 443 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: For every guy that just Kyler Murray, you know, hits 444 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: the ground running and you're like, damn. Some guys take 445 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: a couple of years Davantae Adams to look like two 446 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: and a half, so you can become a Pro Bowl 447 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: level player and have an average first year. Now you 448 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: can also have a good first year and build off it. 449 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: There's a different path to start them in the NFL 450 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: for the majority of players, right, not not everyone comes 451 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: at the same speed, and that's what makes sports cool. 452 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: You never know at what rate people are gonna be stars. 453 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Steph Curry was not Lebron right just year one. It 454 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: wasn't like, oh, this guy is gonna win multiple m 455 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: vps and you know, three championships and go down. It's 456 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: probably the second greatest point guard ever any the way 457 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: it works, they almost traded Lay Thompson for Kevin Love, right, 458 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: it happens, so we just Russell Wilson. We're arguing over 459 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: whether it was a star like by year four. By 460 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: about year six, you couldn't knock. But it took Dak Prescott. 461 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: We're still talking about it. So I think it takes time. 462 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: But there are five guys to me that really jumped 463 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: out night. I talked some people around the league players. 464 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: A couple of these guys I like coming out, A 465 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: couple of these guys that didn't know that much about 466 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: and uh, let's start at five. Jonathan Abram, the safety 467 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: from Mississippi State the Raiders took last year in the 468 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: first round and he made it through about half a 469 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: game last year. Now, my concerns with him coming out 470 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: of college because people I know in the NFL liked 471 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: him a lot, big hitter. Uh if you look. I 472 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: think his his last year in Misissippi State, they played 473 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: Iowa in the ballgame fant Hockinson. I had scouting director 474 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: tell me check out that game tape. He's locking those 475 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: two guys down. So, because there were some concerns he 476 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: wasn't a great cover guy more than a hitter. And 477 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: I had new people in the league that thought he 478 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: would transition very well to become a cover safety, you know, 479 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: a hybrid right, a physical player that can cover. I 480 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: know Jim Naggy that runs the Senior Bowl, longtime NFL scout, 481 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: loves him. And he made it through half a game 482 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: because he had a huge hit in their opening game 483 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: in two thousands nineteen against the Denver Broncos. Towards labor 484 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: him out for the season. But people think that I 485 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: know think highly of him. I know Jon Gruden and 486 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: Mike Mayock think highly of him. There's gonna be a 487 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him. He's gonna be immediately one 488 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: of the more talented defensive players. He was this year 489 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: will be again next year, and I think they've surrounded 490 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: him with a little more help. The key is staying healthy. 491 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: He's a guy that wants to play like Cam Chancellor, 492 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: and that's to me, my big red flag on him. 493 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: He just has to adapt. Now, great players adapt, you 494 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: know you can't head hunt might be strong, but you 495 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: have to hit under control of two. This isn't which. 496 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I love ninety eight. I love 497 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: big hits. And if this was old school John Abram 498 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: would be just knocking Ko and people every game. He 499 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: can't do that, so he's just gonna after that. But 500 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: the talent is there. He was a first round pick 501 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: for a reason. The several teams that I've talked to 502 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: either had him in the first high in the second 503 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: round on their draft board. I'd expect if he can 504 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: stay healthy for him to have a really good season. 505 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: Number four The forty Niners just lost Eebo Samuel to 506 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: a Jones fracture. Anytime there is a name with an injury, 507 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: Jones frac sure, Tommy John Yeah, I read flag. It 508 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: never good. Last year they had a player Trent Taylor 509 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: who got the Jones fractor missed the entire season. Now, 510 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: Debo claims will be back in ten weeks. Who knows. 511 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: I got a red flag. I hope he comes back healthy, 512 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: but you never know. Jalen heard a guy that the 513 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: forty Niners took last year in the third round. I 514 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: went to practice last year in the spring and in 515 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: training camp. This guy is enormous. He played running back 516 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: at Tennessee. He's like six three and a half six four. 517 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: Transferred to Baylor, became a wide receiver. Kyle Shanahan loves him. 518 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: He's like a hybrid. They can put him in the backfield. 519 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: He can play a little tight end, they can put 520 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: him in the slot. He got hurt last year, kind 521 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: of like Jonathan Abram. I'm betting on a guy staying healthy. 522 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: Had a fracture in his back, missed the entire season. 523 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: Did have a preseason game where he trucked like three people, 524 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: had a touchdown, and everyone thought this guy was gonna 525 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: play a major role and then he never played a 526 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: regular season game. Well, now that Debo is already out, 527 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: their best, second best wide receiver now without Debo is 528 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: going to be a rookie from Arizona State, Brandon Ayo, 529 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: who's a junior college transfer, really has had one good season, 530 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,239 Speaker 1: So I think beside Kittle, there's gonna be a lot 531 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: of action for this guy. Major mismatch, offensive genius as 532 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: the play caller they have. You know, they had Trent Williams, 533 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: their offensive line solid, they got Jimmy Garoppolo, they have 534 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: a running game. I think Jalen Herd, you can look 535 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: up and you go, damn. When the best teams in 536 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: the NFC, that guy caught fifty sixty balls. I keep 537 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: it high on Jalen Herd, especially for you fantasy guys 538 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: that might be drafting people late number three. I had 539 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: I know a bunch of people with the Bears. They 540 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: were raving to me last year about this rookie safety 541 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. I didn't know that much 542 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: about him. They drafted him in the first round, Darnell 543 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: Savage Jr. Watch him a bunch this year. He's gonna 544 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: be a really good player. Hot take. He's got a 545 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: very good chance to be a top five safety in 546 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: the next two years. Very very talented. He plays for 547 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: the Packers. They're clearly they have a bunch of talent, 548 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: especially in that defensive backfield. With the corners. Uh. You know, 549 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: I just think when you look around the safeties around 550 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: the league, whether it's Jamal Adams, like, who are the 551 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: really great safeties right now in the NFL? I think 552 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: this guy has a chance to take a huge Derwin James. 553 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: You know, Isaiah Simmons is a young guy that was 554 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: just drafted really high. He's kind of like the hybrid. 555 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: I think this guy has a chance to be kind 556 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: of the ultimate combo of being a physical hitter. He'll 557 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: throw his nose in there. He ain't afraid, which is 558 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: something I always love in a safety. It's what Jonathan 559 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: Abram has. You gotta be a little crazy because you're 560 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: playing in space, people moving at rapid speed. I like 561 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: guys that will lay the wood and that they can't 562 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: are athletic enough in two thousand twenty that can find 563 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: themselves in positions where they're not gonna get flagged all 564 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: the time. And then this guy can also play the ball. 565 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: So you have two picks last year, I'd expect to 566 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 1: maybe that number to double this year. I think Darnel 567 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: Savage Jr. Has a chance to have a huge season 568 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. Number two Jeffrey Simmons, the 569 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: defensive tackle hybrid guy that the Tennessee Titans took in 570 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: the first round last year. There's a chance that this guy, 571 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: if he had not torn his a c L before 572 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: the draft, would have gone. There are some people talking 573 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: like top five, probably a top six or seven lock 574 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: they got him. I think it was picked nineteen Darrell Casey, 575 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: who they cut this year. Darrell Casey has made several 576 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers Pro Bowls, is a really good player, Like 577 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: who's been one of the stalwart defensive linemen in the 578 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: league for the last handful of years. They just cut 579 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: and the reason is Jeffrey freaking Simmons. He had seven 580 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: stars last year, two sacks coming back from that injury. 581 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: He is massive, he is super athletic. I mean, he's 582 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: got vable, he's got kind of a defensive culture. I 583 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: think I had a buddy tell me in the league, 584 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: like over the weekend, all you could look up and 585 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons could be a star. This guy of this 586 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: group might have the highest upside, Like there's a chance 587 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: he's a top two or three d lineman in like 588 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: three years. Like all of a sudden, he's like j. J. Watt, 589 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: like that's how talented this guy is. Now a lot 590 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: of people don't know about the Mississippi State gets injured. 591 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: Didn't play that much last year in terms of impact, 592 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: only played less than half the season despite being on 593 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: a team that went really far. I'm telling you, when 594 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: you're watching the Titans, keep an eye on Jeffrey Simmons 595 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: and then number one breakout star potential. This one was 596 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: pretty easy for me, Drew Lock. I know Greg co 597 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: Sell who is just watches as much quarterback film as 598 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: anyone hell in beside the Maybe NFL coaches loves this guy. Uh, 599 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: his talent is undisputable. Indisputable. Uh, it's not arguable. He's 600 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: got a big time arm. Now. I didn't really watching 601 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: that much of Missouri full disclosure, I'm not spending too 602 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: much time on Saturday's watching Missouri football. People I talked 603 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: to said that the arm strength was there. It was 604 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: just about corraling. Just like any young quarterback who you 605 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: know has the physical attributes, you want to then translate 606 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: become an accurate player, become a guy who understands the offense, 607 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: a guy that can lead the team. There a lot 608 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: comes with playing quarterback, and when you're playing at Missouri 609 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: in that conference, you're an underdog a lot of the weeks, right, 610 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: you are consistently playing teams that are better than you. 611 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: So there is a lot of unknown like what would 612 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: he do with better talent? How would he have been 613 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: if he was the BAMA quarterback or USC quarterback and 614 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: had the proper talent around him? You never know. And 615 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: once you get to the NFL, especially given the baseline 616 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: of talent that his team now has, you go, well, 617 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: his offense pretty loaded, right. They get Pat Shermer as 618 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, who terrible head coach, really good offensive coordinator. 619 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: They have a defensive head coach who was going to 620 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: play really good defense. I will be shocked, shocked if 621 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos Vic Fangio, Bradley Chubb von Miller are 622 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: not a top ten defense this year. They made strides 623 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: the year went on without Bradley Chubb. He's back full go. 624 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna be good on defense. Offensively, they draft Jerry 625 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: Judy in the first round. They signed Melvin Gordon. They 626 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: drafted Noah Fanse last year in the first round. I think, 627 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: who had forty catches as a rookie. They have Philip Lindsay, Uh, 628 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: they draft kJ Hamdler, kind of the speed demon, just 629 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: to spread the offense Drew Lock had. He only made 630 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: five starts last year. He threw seven touchdowns with three picks. 631 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: But just from the eye test of the little bit 632 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: I watched, I went, Wow, this guy is really talented 633 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: and I think a fair comp And I don't know 634 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: how how tough he's gonna be in the pocket. You 635 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: never know. You gotta play a lot of games while 636 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 1: you stand in there and make throws. But just physical, 637 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: just physical attributes. I think he has a lot of 638 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: comparisons to Derek Carr in terms of he's got a 639 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: lot of pop with his arm, and those first couple 640 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: of years for Derek before the Raiders have kind of 641 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: been pretty inconsistent. The last several years, Derek was really good. 642 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: I mean his second year was kind of his breakout season, 643 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: and then the third year he almost won the MVP, 644 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: And you could argue if he didn't break his ankle, 645 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: he might have been the MVP of the league. So 646 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 1: to me, Drew Lock has that type upside. Now upside 647 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: is this that it's not tangible. He has to do it. 648 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: The division is really good. I think the Raiders are 649 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot better. The Chiefs are the Super 650 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,239 Speaker 1: Bowl champions, and the Charger defense is stacked, right. They 651 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: got a bunch of corners, Derwin James, pass rushers. Hell, 652 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: they drafted uh the the Oklahoma linebacker. Their defense is 653 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: gonna be excellent. Gus Bradley's defensive coordinator. It's not an 654 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: easy division, so a lot of pressure on them. I 655 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: think they're already, you know, Collins already picking them. They're 656 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: already kind of a sexy team out there. I like 657 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: him a lot. I think they should make a wild 658 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: card because they went seven and nine last year after 659 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: a terrible start and Joe Flacco playing terrible. You get 660 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: Drew Locked, the added offensive players, Bradley Chubb coming back 661 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: if he's If Drew Lock actually does come through with 662 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: my prediction, the Broncos are going to the playoffs. Okay, 663 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: let's get into the Middlecoff mail Bag at John Middlecoff 664 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: insta to where you guys get to ask questions and 665 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: we answer them right here on the podcast. Also, like 666 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, leave your reviews. If you like the show, 667 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: greatly appreciate it. What are your thoughts on Josh Gordon 668 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: Gordon signing with the forty Niners now that Debo has 669 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: a broken foot in my memory serves Uh, record breaking 670 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: season happened with Kyle as the offensive coordinator for the Browns. 671 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: Just some random thoughts I'm having while cutting Hay, keep 672 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: up the good work. If you're really cutting, hey, you're 673 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: a grinder. I I don't know much about personally the relationship. 674 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: I'd have to maybe right in two thousand and fourteen, 675 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: that was Josh Gordon's breakout seasonal type it is as 676 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking, I don't see that. I mean last year 677 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: Seattle had him for a little bit. He couldn't last 678 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: because he got in trouble. Obviously, the Patriots cut him. 679 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: Uh the two thousand four no, it was two thousand 680 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: thirteen was his god eighty seven catches, six d yards, 681 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, and then two thousand eighteen he had forty 682 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: one catches. Yeah, I think that ship sailed. I don't. 683 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on the drug policy in terms 684 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: of the testing and the changes everything that's been made. 685 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: But I don't see the forty Niners doing that. They 686 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: have Trent Taylor on their team, they have Jalen heard 687 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: on their team. They drafted Brandon Ayuk, they have George Kittle, 688 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: they have a million running backs. Kyle I just think 689 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: believes in his he'll able to scheme guys open, I 690 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't see that. Who are the top five most 691 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: untradeable non quarterbacks in the NFL? By the way, I 692 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 1: love the pod and I'm a future cow Polly Mustang 693 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: love it, young guy, You get your whole future head jealous? 694 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: Top five most untradeable players? Uh? Okay, I would say, 695 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: let me think for a split second. You would think defense. 696 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: You know, Kleil Mack after the year, I don't know 697 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: if he's untradeable anymore? Aaron Donald? Would they trade him 698 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: for like four first rounders? You know, would anyone trade 699 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: four first rounders? Are? Are there really that many untradeable 700 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: non quarterbacks? You know? I don't think the forty Niners 701 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: would trade George Kittle. Uh you know, Odell Beckham would 702 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: get he could get trade maybe another who's another sweet 703 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: pass rusher? Nick Bosa trying to think of young guys, 704 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa do the Cowboys Texans not really Saints? I 705 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: mean Michael Thomas? But would you would you trade Michael 706 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: Thomas for a couple of first rounders. I mean, make 707 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: you think I got news for you. There's not really 708 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to nine quarterbacks. If you give me 709 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: the right offer, we're talking. I love George Kittle. He's 710 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: probably my favorite non quarterback in the league right now. 711 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: He's a badass. I just like, I was watching Shark 712 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: Tank on Friday night and this chick was freaking out 713 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: about these bags she had, and she was yelling at everyone, 714 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: and she eventually, you know, the four other panelists were like, 715 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm out, I'm out. And she's like, I 716 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: want Mark Cuban buy it. And Mark Cubans like, make 717 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: me an offer. She said, what do you want? He said, no, 718 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: you make me an offer. So I if I had 719 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, if I had Khalil Mac, if I had 720 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: George Kittle, if I had Michael tom Mus fight any 721 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: of these dudes, make me an offer. You know this 722 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: is not basketball where it's Lebron James, because Lebron James 723 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: is the quarterback in the NFL. Uh. John, I know 724 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: your background is in football. In the podcast, I listen 725 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: to most right next to part in my take, I 726 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: know you're somewhat of a barstool guy. You dive into 727 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: other sports every now and then, but I'd say, what 728 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: you talk about is football. Have you ever thought about 729 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: expanding your podcast to cover more than just one sport? Well, 730 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: my podcast I do with Haberman and Middlecoff. Now we 731 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: we talk more maybe Bay Area with the Warriors, but 732 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: we talked baseball. We talk everything, you know. It's basically 733 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: we had a radio show where we we do talk 734 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: a lot of PGA Tour, golf, We talked about it 735 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: all on this podcast. It's just easier to just focus 736 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: in the NFL and based on the numbers, I mean, 737 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: football is king. Even on the other podcast, we talk 738 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: football the most because it's by far the most popular. Now, 739 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm a huge sports guy. I'm a rare thirty five 740 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: year old that watches way too much baseball. I love 741 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. While I talked some sh abou at 742 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: the NBA. I watch an ungodly amount of the NBA. 743 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: I love basketball. So I mean between those four sports, 744 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, football pays my bills. And it's just even 745 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: when I was in radio, we talked about football more. So. Yeah, 746 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: I mean I tweet and talk, my do my periscopes, 747 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: but It's just it's more fun to do topics about 748 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 1: football because more people react. You can do a baseball 749 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: a top five baseball players. I tweeted that out right 750 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: now I get two people interact. I did top five, 751 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: you know quarterbacks under thirty at A replies It's just 752 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,439 Speaker 1: people just are more passionate right now about football and basketball. Hell, 753 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: even you know, I'm gonna talk about the PGA tour. 754 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: Just a picture of a guy cooking steaks for Father's Day. 755 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: That sounds cool. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers listening. 756 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: Do you feel the West Coast offense could really take 757 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: off over the coming years if you look at Philly, 758 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: for example, with two tight ends and earths and God 759 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: or you see God or got knocked out a great 760 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: running back in Miles Sanders. I wouldn't say great yet, 761 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: but talent who should improve after his rookie season and 762 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: to Burner. Wide receivers in Reagor and Sean. Tight ends 763 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: are extremely undervalue position, as you have talked about with 764 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: George Kittle's contract talks, and are much cheaper usually than 765 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: most slot receivers, thus allowing money to be spent on 766 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: the old line or elsewhere on the team. What do 767 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: you think, Yeah, I mean I think everything. And now 768 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: in two thousand twenties, a hybrid offense, you know, the 769 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: RPO is such a big part of the game. All 770 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are moving. If you have two tight ends, 771 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: you'd be stupid not to put them on the field. 772 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: The Niners would have no problem putting two tight ends 773 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: on the field. Their problem is they don't really have 774 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: a good second tight end. Now. They play a lot 775 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: of you know, situations in one personnel with two running 776 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: backs in one tight end, right because they have Kyle Uschik, 777 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: who is kind of unique. Is he a running back now? 778 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean he's kind of more of like a hybrid 779 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: tight end, but he also has a full black lead blocker. 780 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: He's just the ultimate Swiss army knife. I think it's 781 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: just all about your personnel. I would not have a 782 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: quote unquote offense. I would just have I would like, 783 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: you know, obviously you'd want a staple of your offense, 784 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: but I would want to be able to deliver a place. 785 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: An offensive coordinator told me this last year. What makes 786 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: the best offensive coordinators great is they're not worried about 787 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: balance run pass. They're worried about getting their playmakers the ball. 788 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: It's what Andy Reid does a great job of, right, 789 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: he gets Kelsey and Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins the football. 790 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan does a really good job of this. Now 791 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: he even spreads it out. I'd argue sometimes too much, 792 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: but you can't complain with the results that I don't 793 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: know the quote unquote what kind of offense to defense. 794 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: To me, it matters more because you're base personnel gives 795 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: your gap assignments. So who's gonna make a tackle or 796 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: has what gap? In football? Whether they've got two tight 797 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: ends on the field, no tight ends on the field, Well, 798 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: if I got four street wide receivers were multiple suite 799 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: running backs, like, I don't blame the the Baltimore Ravens 800 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: for doing what they're doing. That's their personnel. So to me, 801 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: it's just based on your personnel. Now, if you wanted 802 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: to take even a step back, should you be looking 803 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: for that second tight end? Ideally, yes, you would like 804 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: to Kelsey's would like two kittles. You would like a 805 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: gronk and a you know again, bad guy, you know, murderer, 806 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,919 Speaker 1: but Aaron Hernandez, Right, that's what ideally you'd want. It's 807 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: just easier said than done. After hearing your convincing take 808 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: on d Chambo Saturday, I just see, I'll talk about sports. 809 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: I decided to lay uh some bones on his nineteen 810 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: to one odds. Although he came up a few shots short, 811 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: it made Sunday much more compelling for a novice gambler 812 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: like myself. My question is, would you ever consider doing 813 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: a middle Cough money bag or something of the sort 814 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: each week in addition to the mail bag, something that 815 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: gives us all your juicy lines in golf, major League Baseball, 816 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL, whatever, really appreciate it? Well, I'll tell 817 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: you this, gambling on football is by far the best, 818 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 1: and we will clearly incorporate more gambling this fall. I 819 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: love gambling on football. In my experience, March Madness is 820 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: really fun, but it's more just the event than you 821 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: feel that great about your picks. Now you can take 822 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: the advice of the j billis Is, of the Duck 823 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: Got Leaves and the twelve fives and feel pretty good. 824 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: But more and more now than ever, we don't watch 825 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: as much college basketball, and I watched sports for a living, 826 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: and I don't even watch that much. To me, my 827 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 1: second favorite sport. To gamble on the NBA is not 828 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: easy anymore unless you're gonna bet on playoff series, and 829 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I've bet against Russell Westbrook 830 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: in the first round and got plus money. But a 831 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: regular season game in the NBA, guys don't try. Guys 832 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: sit out. It's impossible. I used to love gambling on 833 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: the NBA because I used to back when Kevin Durant 834 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: was on the Thunder. I would bet a lot of 835 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: team overs. You know, they would be like over under 836 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: points for the Thunder and they would score so many points. 837 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: It was awesome. I loved it and bet Lakers back when, 838 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: like Kobe's last couple of years, their defense was awful, 839 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: the over undering the game. But it's to me, the 840 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: NBA has become much more difficult to gamble. I don't 841 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: gamble it anymore. Football and golf love gambling and golf. 842 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: Now golf is more difficult because like I love Bryson 843 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: d Shamba and I still do. The I played Harding Park. 844 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: It's where of the PGA Championship is gonna be in August, 845 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: and it's not that long of a course and the 846 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: fairways are really tight and the rough is ungodly. I 847 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: lost like five balls and you just you can't find 848 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: the ball if you don't hit the fairway, and you're 849 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: not gonna hit that many fairways because the the fairways 850 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: got cut like by well, Bryson is gonna be forty 851 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: yards past everybody and he has the power to get 852 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: out of the rough. So last I checked that Bryson, 853 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: Depending on where you look, it was like to one 854 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: to win the PGA Championship. Now again, betting on individuals 855 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: to win golf tournaments is difficult, but there are a 856 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: lot of fun bets wherever you gamble. I'm not gonna 857 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 1: give any free ads here, and hopefully we'll get a 858 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: gambling sponsor that you gamble on individual matchups on Top 859 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: Ten's gambling on golf Suite. If you like golf and 860 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: you just lightly pay attention, it is really fun to 861 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: gamble on baseball stinks uh and basketball it is just 862 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: impossible till the playoffs, So that that would be my 863 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: gambling advice. Start paying attention to golf fund sports to gamble. 864 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: Do you think there's a legitimate chance the NFL season 865 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: gets canceled? I dismissed of the idea at first personally, 866 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: but I'm starting to see it become more and more 867 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: topic lately. Keep up the good work. Uh yeah, I 868 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: mean I I don't know. I think they will do 869 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,399 Speaker 1: everything humanly possible to play. I've said it's and keep 870 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: quoting these guys. It's gonna be hard for the protocols 871 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: to work. It's gonna be hard to practice football with 872 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 1: and not have guys get Corona. I think guys are 873 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna get Corona. A lot of these teams have older coroaches. 874 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: It's going to be a challenge someone that desperately wants 875 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: sports to come back. I'm actually watching the NASCAR race 876 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: behind me right now, but uh, it's it's going to 877 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: be an uphill battle. But they will. All their chips 878 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: are in the middle of the table. They have twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 879 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: whatever billion billion reasons to get this thing to play, 880 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: if that means pushing it back a couple of months. 881 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a doctor. I'm not I'm 882 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: just giving my opinion and my opinion on this. I 883 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: don't feel listen, I have no problem giving opinions. I 884 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: just don't know. Like I back to I don't have 885 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: really Corona takes. Tell me to wear a mask in 886 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: your restaurant, I wear a mask if you expect me 887 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: to like screaming about it all day when I'm at 888 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 1: my condo or going on a walk like that ain't happening. 889 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,879 Speaker 1: I'm not a fear porn daily freakout guy. I also 890 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: respect anyone who is I get it right. I mean, 891 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 1: any day you can read an article that feels like 892 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: the year's gonna end. I'm not taking that outlook just 893 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: because I read a lot of articles on the other 894 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: or at least headlines. I don't even I don't consume 895 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: that much corona stuf anymore. I refuse because out of 896 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,439 Speaker 1: my control. I don't even believe anyone on either side. Uh. 897 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to die. No one wants Grandpa 898 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: to die, but a social distance if I don't know 899 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: you or whatever. But I'm also living in my life 900 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: like i've I've played golf forright four times the last 901 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I've gone different places to play golf, 902 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: like I ain't. I don't spend that much time thinking 903 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: about it. And I think a lot of players and 904 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 1: I DMed with a couple they're not that freaked out either, 905 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: the players are not because most people in the twenty 906 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 1: to thirty year old age range don't aren't consumed with it, 907 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: beside the media, who just is consumed with it. So 908 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: I guess it's a roundabout way of saying I just 909 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, I mean every once in 910 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: a while, if I, if I spend too much on Twitter, 911 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: I get a little freaked out. I wanted to get 912 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: your thoughts on what sort of compensation you'd be looking 913 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: for if you were Joe Douglas shoes when it comes 914 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: to Jamal Adams. Obviously he has a list, but as 915 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: you pointed out in the past, the NFL doesn't operate 916 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,439 Speaker 1: the same as the NBA. No, they don't. The Jets 917 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: will not hold onto Adams because the Jags are Bengals 918 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: called instead of the Cowboys Ravens. Dealing him to a 919 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 1: crappier team would likely result in the higher pick. I 920 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: was thinking maybe two second rounders or a second and 921 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: third is realistic. However, if a team like the Cowboys calls, 922 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: would you rather ask the Cowboys for a second or 923 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: third and gallop since they are likely to be a 924 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: good pick, so their pick will end up being low. Also, 925 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: they drafted Lamb signed Cooper for big bucks. You have 926 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of other players to pay Gallop not a 927 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: terrible idea. I like where you're looking at here. I 928 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: think if you were open to trading Jamal Adams, getting 929 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 1: a second round pick and a legitimate player is not 930 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: a bad idea. I think so often we love trading 931 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: good players for for first round pick. But what if 932 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: you got a second round pick and a guy who 933 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: immediately starts in your team. Michael Gallops good. Every time 934 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 1: I watched the Cowboy Is, I went, was Michael Gallops 935 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,760 Speaker 1: as good as Mark Cooper? But he's not some scrub. 936 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: I know he got banged up last year, but I 937 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: took him a lot in daily fantasy and he always produced. 938 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: I was actually really impressed with him, So I I 939 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 1: think that would be a more than fair ass. Let's 940 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: see Michael Gallop last year. I know he's banged up, 941 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 1: he had sixty six catches for six touchdowns. He the 942 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: trust of me the Jets. Would I do Jamal Adam 943 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: for a second round pick and Michael Gallup? I would 944 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 1: strongly think about that. I really would. Now Michael Gallups 945 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: going into his third year, so he's gotta get paid 946 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: after this year, but he's not gonna be that expensive. 947 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,439 Speaker 1: I I like that type deal. Now, if you're gonna 948 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: get a first round pick from a team, then it 949 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: that'd be hard to pass up. But if they're all 950 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 1: second rounders, would I rather have the Cowboys second rounder 951 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: and Michael Gallop than like the Bengal second rounder? For sure? God, 952 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 1: we get some good ideas here. That's that's some high 953 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: level thinking there. Do you think the forty Niners have 954 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: one more big move up their sleeve this offseason? I don't. No, 955 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: they don't have any picks to trade, they don't have 956 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: any more players to trade. I would not really expect 957 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: them to do much. New listener from down in New Zealand, 958 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: big fan of the NBA, NFL and Colin heard you 959 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: answering fans last week and brought up the question about 960 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: the Rugby Rugby League. It's completely different set of rules 961 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: from the Rugby Union. In some aspects, it's similar to 962 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: American football, except you can't throw it forward down the field, 963 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: and you only have a single team of thirteen on 964 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,879 Speaker 1: the field who attack and defense. You have a six 965 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: tackle set before you have to kick the ball to 966 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: the opposition. Bloody good sport. I love bloody. That's a 967 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: great that's a great cuss word over in uh you know, 968 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: across the pond. Good sport to watch and one of 969 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: the only ones at the moment with the virus. Any who, 970 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: just letting you know, I'm big fan. You have a 971 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 1: listener's way down here in New Zealand. I went to 972 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,879 Speaker 1: New Zealand when I was thirteen. When I was growing up, 973 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: my dad's dad, who was a professor at Cow, was 974 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: a big fly fisherman. He used to take my dad 975 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: every year for like thirty years to New Zealand. They'd 976 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 1: go for like three or four weeks. When I was thirteen, 977 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 1: my Dad's like, why don't you come. I'm not a 978 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: huge fisherman. But I went out there stayed with him 979 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. It was badass. I remember 980 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: eating this ice cream called Hokey Pokey. We got helicopter 981 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: back and fished, played a little golf we went to 982 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: I told my dad maybe I was twelve, because I 983 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 1: told him. Bungee jumping. I'm pretty sure it was invented 984 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,280 Speaker 1: in New Zealand and the place where it first started 985 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: was this crazy like uh bridge that I think is 986 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: like a five D footfall and they can time it 987 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 1: where you touch the river that you jump into it. 988 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: And I'm like, Dad, I'll tell him I'm thirteen. Drive 989 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: me there and I will jump off this bridge. So 990 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: he drives me there and we park and we go 991 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,760 Speaker 1: out to watch and I remember walking out and looking. 992 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, that is so freaking high. 993 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: So we walk in to go get fitted. He's like 994 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: he wants to do a bungee jump, and the guy's like, 995 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: how old are you? You had to be? You had 996 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: to tell you beat thirteen. I was like, I'm twelve. 997 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm twelve, and they're like, okay, you can't do it. 998 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: And I got out of my dad's like, oh my 999 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: god's just a whoss, Like yeah, Dad, no freaking way, 1000 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm jumping off that thing. But that's my lasting memory 1001 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: in New Zealand. So question for the show. I'm from 1002 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest and been a Hawks fan since I 1003 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: can remember. Most analysts, journalists, and media members never give 1004 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: the Seahawks the respect they deserve. Every year, all anyone 1005 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: can say is how they were going seven and nine? 1006 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: And then what do you know they're in the playoffs. 1007 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: He said, we're in the playoffs. True. I appreciate the 1008 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: fandom being a Niners fan media guy. Can you account 1009 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: for the lack of respect? I feel like Schneider, Carol 1010 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 1: and Russ have earned a certain amount of respect. Anyway, 1011 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,719 Speaker 1: I never picked the Seahawks to miss, so I don't 1012 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: know what those idiots are doing. I do know this 1013 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: as someone that breaks down rosters and has a pretty 1014 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: good feel for what like elite team looks like their 1015 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: roster the last couple of years has not in act. 1016 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: Think even you, as a Seahawks fan, will admit this 1017 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: not nearly as good as it was in twelve, thirteen 1018 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: and four team right, It's not as deep, not as 1019 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 1: star studded. Now they're curveball. And this is why you 1020 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 1: can't dismiss them. They have either the best or second 1021 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,919 Speaker 1: best quarterback in the world in Russell Wilson, and he's 1022 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: a magician, unlike Mahomes, who doesn't. I mean, while he 1023 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: kind of indirectly does. But they have so much help. 1024 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,919 Speaker 1: Russell has to carry the team. Their defense isn't as good. 1025 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: They don't have as many Pro Bowl guys on defense. 1026 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: He's got to be a star, and he is a star. 1027 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: He can have these games. To me, Russell Wilson's a 1028 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: lot like Steph Curry. He could have these games where 1029 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 1: he looks terrible for three quarters and then all of 1030 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 1: a sudden he flips the switch and throws three touchdowns 1031 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and just rips your heart out 1032 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 1: and does just Houdini stuff. So I really think it's 1033 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: just Russell Wilson. He is one of the most incredible 1034 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,720 Speaker 1: quarterbacks we've ever seen. And for them to be whatever. 1035 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,879 Speaker 1: They won eleven games last year and being within an 1036 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: a half inch a half inch of sweeping the Niners 1037 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 1: and being the second seed would have been one of 1038 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: the most incredible accomplishments given their roster I've ever seen, 1039 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 1: because that team was not as talented as their record, 1040 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: but their quarterback is more talented than records. So I 1041 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: think I think it's that simple, because player for player 1042 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: that their roster leaves something to be desired. Now you 1043 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 1: could argue a little better. Now they've got d k 1044 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: who's a really good player. We'll see if they get 1045 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 1: Clowney back. But man, yeah, I think the with that 1046 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 1: franchise accomplished these last two, you know, decade, Really the 1047 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 1: second half of the decade has been more impressive. Now 1048 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,359 Speaker 1: they haven't won a Super Bowl or even gotten back, 1049 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: but being able to sustain, maintain and win all these 1050 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: games that no team pulls more games out of their 1051 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: ass than Seattle Seahawks. And I say that as a compliment, 1052 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: but how often are we sitting on our couch on Sunday, 1053 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 1: especially when they kick like a ten am kick off, 1054 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 1: you know, and they're playing like the Panthers or the 1055 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 1: Jets or something, and they'll be down like, you know, 1056 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 1: seventeen to ten and just playing like crap. Then all 1057 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden, two straight Russell Wilson drives bang bang 1058 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: boom them and it's seventeen. They win, like they have 1059 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: so many games like that, and that that's just their culture. 1060 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: They're there, they're winners. All they do is win. I 1061 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 1: appreciate everyone listening. Uh, enjoy the week, and uh, I 1062 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 1: guess summer. It's kind of a weird summer, but summers here, 1063 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 1: so enjoy your summer, and uh, I'll talk to you 1064 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 1: a little bit later. Idios,
