Speaker 1: time listener haven't missed a three and out pod and

27
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: over a year. Not a golf guy, so I don't

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: listen to go Low, but it's cool to see you

29
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: carving out another lane for yourself as a guy is

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: pretty connected with the Niners. What did you make of

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Ken Law versus Grant Cone? I thought that was very

32
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: strange interaction. I don't know a thing about Grant, but

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to be well liked in Niner circles.

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: With that said, kin Law seemed to be pretty out

35
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: of line. What's your take? Do you know either individual involved?

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking time to read my question. Well, I

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: know Grant through seeing him obviously at nine er stuff.

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't obviously I don't know Ki Law personally, but

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean I followed the guy's career, which has not

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: gone well. I think it's a combination of like Grant.

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: For those of you that aren't around here, I don't

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: know if there's quite a Grant in most markets in

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, really, I I don't even know

44
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: how quite to describe him. But his his dad was

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: a legendary columnist around here. Um Grant smart, I mean

46
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Grant went to u c l A, U c l A.

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Wouldn't even they blit my application on fire. Grant is

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: an educated, smart guy, but he kind of knows what

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: he's doing, and he trolls a little bit, and sometimes,

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, people think it's across the line personal and

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: maybe it does. Uh you can probably say the same

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: about at times. The difference is is I don't. Grant

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: goes to the team every day, right, he goes. He's

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: like a beat reporter, even though he's really got a

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: really successful YouTube channel. But he goes every day. So

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: he sees these guys. They piss them off, they go

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: back and forth. It's part of the deal, I guess.

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Even though guys like Eric Armstead don't like it, and

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: other guys on the team don't like it, it's just

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Kin Law is a young

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: guy whose career is in tatters. He he is as

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: of two years. It's been a disaster he's coming off

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: major knee surgery, so in his mind, his career like

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: it just it sucks. So he's on edge because he's

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: trying to prove himself. Grants saying he's a bust and

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: kin Law just lost it. Uh, Like, I understand, I

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: have no problem if if I'm gonna talk shit about someone,

68
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: or Grant's gonna talk about someone, they're allowed to talk

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: ship back at you. You can't. If you're gonna give it,

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: you gotta take it. It's just part of the deal.

71
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: You know. You can't a giver and then not a taker,

72
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: and that's what so much of the media is. Ultimately,

73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Grant did have him on the show. Now it didn't

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: really go well, and kin Law was really emotional, But

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: like if Brandon Staley wants to call me up, call

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: me up. I mean, it's just it's just part of

77
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: the deal. Now, there was one guy that called me

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: up by refused to talk to you because I think

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: he's a complete clown. But for the most part, it

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: just it is what it is, and it's a lot different.

81
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: Like in my shoes, I'm not gonna see or be

82
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: around most of these guys. Grant is around these guys

83
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: every single week and a lot of times like every day.

84
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: So it's not like he hides. I mean he talks ship,

85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: but he goes in the locker room, so I I

86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: I do give him some credit there in terms of like,

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: it's not like he's just an internet troll and they

88
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: never see him. He sees him daily. Uh. Wanted to

89
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: start off by saying, you're my favorite sports talk show

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: since s VP and Rasillo. A couple of years ago,

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: I took part in the Scouting Academy. While the program

92
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: was great, I found that watching the same lineman for

93
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: one plus snaps dwindled my love for football. I was

94
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: wondering if you ever felt this way Scouting. I think

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: you're looking at it the wrong way. I think you

96
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: do love football, but you don't love it on the

97
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: level in which you have to love it to be

98
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: John Schneider or Jason Light or Howie Roseman like those

99
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: guys get energy from football. I found I love football.

100
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: I've made a career out of it just talking about it.

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: I watch it, you know, Thursday night, Saturday, Sunday, Monday night,

102
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: and like you, I'm sure anyone listening. You guys watch

103
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: a ton of football. We all are you know, I

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: would say, in radio terms used to be called p one'es,

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: like your most die hard listener. We are high end

106
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: football fans. A lot of this country is I mean,

107
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: football is a very very big deal. You went to

108
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: the SEC, you'd find people that are so passionate about

109
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: L s U. A and M Bama Georgia or whatever,

110
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: right they would consider themselves that you couldn't love football anymore,

111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: but you don't love it as much as you think

112
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: you love it. And I'm lucky enough to work in

113
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: football seeing the true love of football. And that was

114
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, that was Pat Hill, that was Sean McDermott,

115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: that was you know, One Castillo, that was Matt Naggy.

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: That was the coaches and the executives that love football.

117
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: It's not a completely different level. I think it just

118
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: exposed that it wasn't my end all be all. And

119
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: I think to be a great scout, to be a

120
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: great coach, you gotta be absolutely addicted. Like Kyle Shanahan,

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: I was at a press conference couple weeks ago after

122
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: an O t A practice and they asked him a

123
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: question about something with schemes, something with other teams and

124
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, that's what I watched in my spare time.

125
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I was like what. He's like, Yeah, I do that

126
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: on my off time, Like when I'm at home, I'll

127
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: watch you know, Patriots offense. Right, Like he he has stuff.

128
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: He he watches football at work, and then when he

129
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: goes home with his family, when they go to sleep,

130
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: he watches more football. So to to get to the

131
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: highest level of football and be good at it, it's

132
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: got to be your life. I mean, it's you gotta eat, breathe,

133
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: and sleep it. So I I don't think it dwindles

134
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: your love of football. I think it just exposes that

135
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: you're not on the level that you need to be

136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: to ultimately do it as a career, because that that

137
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: to be really really good at it, I mean great

138
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: at it. I do believe you got to be addicted.

139
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: It's got to be like deep in your soul. It's

140
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: it's crazy as that sounds, but I've seen it, and

141
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: I promise you it just does. You always shoot on

142
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones absolutely love the pod, your ability to make

143
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: ordinary sound interesting. You always shoot on Daniel Jones deservedly,

144
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: So I shoot on him will be strong. I like

145
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like a nice guy. I just

146
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's good enough. I mean, so

147
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: far he's not. I just don't think he is. He

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: can't turn the ball over. It's not personal. I mean,

149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I would be a fun guy to have some beers with.

150
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: Is it fair to say Judge a guy who's had

151
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer and Joe Judge? Is it fair to say

152
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: he's a guy that had Shermer and Judge as his

153
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: head coaches and in arguable the worst graded offensive line

154
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: in the past three years. He fumbles, but he's been

155
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: named captain and I've heard I haven't heard one bad

156
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: thing of character or work ethic. The guy is a

157
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: plus arm and can move around. Would you be surprised

158
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: if he's a poor man's Josh Allen this year? Go

159
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: big Blue? Okay, here's what I think is fair to think?

160
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: He is not even close to Josh Allen. Could he

161
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: be a version of the way Alex Smith resurrected his career.

162
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: I would say that would be the best case to

163
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: turn his career around at an Alex Smith level, like

164
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: when Harbag got there and then when he became with

165
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Chiefs because before that Alex Smith

166
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: was most people thought he sucked. They just did. Two

167
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: people really believed in him. When I was with the

168
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Eagles before Jim harbag got hired and you Reid wanted

169
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: to sign him as Michael Vick's backup. Andy loved him

170
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and obviously Hardball loved him. Like Andy Reid and Jim Harbaught,

171
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: you do just need someone to love you and believe

172
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: in you, like Jim Harbaut believed in Alex Smith. Well,

173
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball believe in Daniel Jones. To me, that's

174
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: half the battle of the resurrection, because if you're gonna

175
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: resurrect someone, you have to instill confidence in them. I'd

176
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: argue in any walk of life, and if day Ball

177
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: is a half in, half out guy, then no. But

178
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: if he's all in on him, like if he falls,

179
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, if he thinks he's got a chance to

180
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: be a really good player, then yeah, I would say

181
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: he could turn his career around. But poor man's Josh Allen.

182
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allens six ft six, runs like a deer and

183
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: could throw it seven yards. Josh Allen's is He's one

184
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: of the great physical anomalies in the history of the league.

185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking Elway, Roethlisberger, Cam, Josh Allen. I

186
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: mean he's on the shortlist of just who who's also

187
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: good like I mean physically, they're they're just thrown many

188
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: of him in the history of the sport. I've been

189
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: listening for a month. Love the pod. Appreciate you. Michael,

190
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: got a question for you. Do you think the NFL.

191
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: Do you think the NFL uh is gonna switch the

192
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: draft so the Super Bowl winners get the first pick

193
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: in the draft to keep team from tanking on purpose,

194
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: therefore becoming an all around more competitive league. Thanks No,

195
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I for the most part, tanking is not

196
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: a big issue. The Jacks wanted to win last year.

197
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: The Lions tried to win every single week. Think about that.

198
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: The teams that drafted first and second tried to win

199
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: every single week. Urban just didn't know how. But towards

200
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year, the Jacks tried. The Jacks

201
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: did the Jacks one week whatever eighteen right against the Colts.

202
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: En did wentz his career there. The Lions. I watched them,

203
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: if any Lions fans would have would agree, like I

204
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: didn't watch all their games, but they clearly. When I

205
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: did watch them, I always thought they were trying. They

206
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: just weren't good enough. So I I think the way

207
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: it's set up right now is good. You And what

208
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: would happen this year? Like the Rams won the Super Bowl,

209
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: but the Lions had their picks, so with the Lions

210
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: get the number one overall pick. I I don't like that.

211
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen that kind of bantered around about

212
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: on the interweb. I think it's fine the way it

213
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: is right now. Now. You you could convince me. Should

214
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: they do some sort of lottery to add an extra event,

215
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: maybe the top instead of the all the teams that

216
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs, just the top ten teams that draft,

217
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: and then they get an equal lottery. Everyone gets ten

218
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: percent chance, and we do that just as a must

219
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: see TV event. I'd be in for that. How about

220
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: we do that so it's like the top ten worse records, Right,

221
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: So if you're one through ten and somehow they do tiebreakers,

222
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: right if if like eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, all

223
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: of the same record or whatever, you just do a

224
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: lottery and everyone has the same odds something like that,

225
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: I'd be cool with that. Uh found your podcast partner

226
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: with the volume. Love it, appreciate it. I had to

227
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: check out the volume Spurce channel. The whole company is outstanding.

228
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: Everyone on my dad's side of the family is from

229
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: Western p A. So obviously Steelers football is like religion

230
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: to us. I'm really interested in what you think of

231
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: Picket and it's fit in Pittsburgh. I love the accuracy, ballplacement,

232
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: anticipatory throwing, red zone efficiency, is good sized, leadership ability

233
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: and his very good size and let us sism combination.

234
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I know you think he's a poor man's Mac Jones,

235
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: but I think there's enough reasonable evidence to think he's

236
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: more upside than Mac. I'm gonna use some of your phrases.

237
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: He's got a high level owner, Rooney, I agree, high

238
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: level coach Tomlin also agree. And the offense is loaded

239
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: with weapons. They spent a lot of money on the

240
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: old line. So here's where I would agree. Because my

241
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: buddies that evaluate the ship for a living, I think

242
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: that thought. Every single one I talked to you thought

243
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Mac was dramatically better coming out of college than Kenny Pickett.

244
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: That's just it's it's not my opinion. That's people that

245
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: do it for a living. People with Super Bowl rings,

246
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl thanks had this opinion. Some of these people

247
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: had were never gonna draft either of these quarterbacks. But

248
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: they evaluated Mac Jones, they evaluated Canny Pickett, and they

249
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: said Max better. That's part of my take because to me,

250
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: all those type players are kind of similar that they're

251
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: not my style. I don't like average arm quarterbacks. Now

252
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: where I will agree with you is that Mac went

253
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: to a team that did not have many weapons, but

254
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: their defense was excellent and the Patriots could run the ball.

255
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: Now that with the receivers, your receivers are way better.

256
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Naji Harris is a stud, but obviously the Patriots had

257
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: good running backs. You have way better receivers, So I'm

258
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: with you there. Now, your division is really good. Bengals

259
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl, Ravens bringing back everyone healthy.

260
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: I think we'd all agree they're gonna be really good.

261
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: And the Browns, you know, even if DeShawn Watson is

262
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: spending for the year, their defense is gonna be awesome.

263
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very very difficult in the division. Now,

264
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: their infrastructure there is really good, and they've been you know,

265
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: fifteen or eighteen or what how of old Roethlisberger is

266
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: he did the same thing. He got to come to

267
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: a really good team. So where you go matters. Think

268
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes, the twelfth overall pick, got to go

269
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: to Andy Reid in the Chiefs. Think about Lamar Jackson

270
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: ends up with the Ravens. I was sitting at forty

271
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: Niner practice and I look at, uh, my my other

272
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: podcast partner guy and this another buddy ours, Chris Pietersman,

273
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: who covers the forty Nights for the Sacramento b And

274
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: I was like, think, how lucky Trey Lances. He got

275
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: drafted third overall. It's not like he fell in the draft.

276
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: He got drafted third overall. He went to a team

277
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: where he didn't even have to start. They went to

278
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. He got to start a couple

279
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: of games. His head coach is also the play caller. Like,

280
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: and they've won and his team stacked with weapons. They

281
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: got lucky, he is. Most guys are like Trevor Lawrence.

282
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: You go to the Jacks, where you go to Urban

283
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: Meyer in your life sucks. Where Zack Wilson go to

284
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: the Jets where they've been losing for a long time.

285
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: So Kenny Pickett should. I'm not that religious of a guy,

286
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: but if I was Kenny Pickett, I would say a

287
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: prayer every once in a while, just thank you to

288
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: the big man upstairs, like thank you for putting me

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. So I'm with you there. I just the physical.

290
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: I think how good you've been for fifteen years. You

291
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: had a physical anomaly, Like I like physical freaks. Now,

292
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I know they're not many Ben Roethlisbergers walking on this earth,

293
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: but like he was a big reason for your success.

294
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: Is there any reason for the Panthers to try to

295
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: win this year? What's the point of winning five games

296
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: and winning two and getting Bruce Bryce Young or verse

297
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: winning two and getting Bryce Young or c J. Stroud. Well,

298
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: the reason is because the head coach in theories coaching

299
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: for his job. Maybe he doesn't care, he's already so rich.

300
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he's cool with going back to college. But I'm

301
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: with you that there is you would much you'd be

302
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: much better off winning two than five. Now, would you

303
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: rather win like eight nine than two? Yes, because you'd

304
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: rather be petitive than being the mix. There's kind of

305
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: a balance. But I hear you. Now, you know if

306
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Sam Donald every time I say Sam Donald's decent or not,

307
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: He's not decent. He's been bad. Anytime I say Sam

308
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,359
Speaker 1: Donald could be decent, my inboxes flooded with like middlecuff.

309
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Why are you caping for this guy? He sucks, He's terrible.

310
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: I agree, Listen, he's been bad. And maybe I'm holding

311
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: off what I liked him in college. I am, but

312
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm holding not hope, but I'm starting to actually jump

313
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: off the bandwagon. First, a show wreck Apple TV Severance.

314
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie Matt tried to watch that show.

315
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: It's not it's not really my thing. It's a little

316
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: sci fi ish westworld ish, And I didn't mind West

317
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: World on HBO because there was killing and there was

318
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: sex and nudity. So if you give me killing and

319
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: sex and nudity, like a Game of Thrones is not

320
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: for me. I don't really do dungeons and dragons and

321
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But there was so much violence and

322
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: so much newdity. You know, I'm a guy like I

323
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: watched Severance. It was just I don't know, I just

324
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: didn't do it for me. We owned the city. Maybe

325
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned this on a previous pod. I'm like three

326
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: episodes in on HBO Max. HBO Max is is HBO

327
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: Max better than Netflix? I do want to watch the

328
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: uh the Adam Sandler movie, Where's the NBA Scout in Philly?

329
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: I feel like that movie was made for me. I

330
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: can't wait. Is that is that coming out? When is

331
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: the thing coming out? Because I really want to watch it.

332
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: I'm a big New York Giants fan. It looks like

333
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: we have a competent coach for the first time in

334
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: which feels like a decade long time. I mean you guys, McAdoo, Shermer,

335
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: Joe Judge, you know, long way away from Coughlin, Fossil

336
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: and the Big Tuna. My biggest concern is if he's

337
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: good of an offensive guy that he seems to be,

338
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: that he makes Daniel Jones look like a starting quarterback.

339
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I think Jones is a fun and terrible and is

340
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: no place of being the starter I think of Dable

341
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: makes Jones look competent. It would be a disaster to

342
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: not move on after the season, given the immense talent

343
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position around the league. If Jones is

344
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: your quarterback, there's no way you can win. Here's what

345
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: I would say, going back to the couple of previous

346
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: d ms. If day Ball is able to make Daniel

347
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: Jones a top fifteen sixteen quarterback, that's worth it. If

348
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: somehow he can turn them into Alex Smith of the

349
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs and you guys build up the team, you guys

350
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: can be competitive. To me, that's his best scenario. He

351
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: becomes Alex Smith Chiefs becomes that now part of Alex

352
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: Smith on the Chiefs. Like, you gotta have a good team,

353
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: So you Thibodeau's gotta be good. Who else they draft?

354
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: Did they draft the BAM alignment? The guys they drafted

355
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: last year, gotta start being good? Maybe se Kwan can

356
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: be good again. Like you gotta keep building up the squad.

357
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: But to me, that's the best hope. And I think

358
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: that's the worst thing you if you just get out.

359
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Let's face it, Eli. I love Eli, I love the Mannings,

360
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: But these last couple of years, Eli, like you guys

361
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: haven't had just a competent quarterback in a while. Big

362
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: fans Seahawks fan. With reports of the Seahawks and Trailblazers

363
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: being up for sale, how important do you think a

364
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: quality owner is for building a contending team. I also

365
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: keep seeing that. Analysts seem to be shocked the Seahawks

366
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: would go into season with Smith and Luck or Lock.

367
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: But in my mind, it is better to give yourself

368
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: a chance at a quality quarterback in the draft than

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: to be meteocre quarterback like Baker. Am I missing something? Uh? Well?

370
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: I saw the Trailblazers. Phil Knight put it an offer

371
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: on the Trailblazers, and then I guess, is it Jody Allen?

372
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: Is that Paul Allen's daughter? I don't know if you

373
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: put it out a statement or sources said that they

374
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: do not intend to sell, but you know you would

375
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: obviously get I mean, how much do you think they

376
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: would get for the Seattle Seahawks. I know Seattle is

377
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: not like a top five media market, but it's not small.

378
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: They now have a real brand because of Rus Soul.

379
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I would say if the Broncos are going

380
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: for four and a half, Seattle worth three point eight,

381
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it would be worth a lot of money.

382
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: It's very very important. It's very very important. The problem is,

383
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: though there are only so many, there's not eight million

384
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: people with billions of dollars, So you're the percentage of

385
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: people like it's pretty easy to sell a house in

386
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: a lot of markets, Like it's not easy to sell

387
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: a six million dollar house, right there are only so

388
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: many people to buy the home. I saw someone forwarded

389
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: me the most expensive home in the history of Scott's

390
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: Dale sold. It was like twenty eight million dollars. Because

391
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: they're in the history of Arizona. There haven't been that

392
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: many people that ever would spend that much money on

393
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: a home. Plus, it's like, this isn't beachfront property but

394
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: in California, but there has been million dollar homes in

395
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: the last like two years. So it's just I think

396
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: the league's in a tough spot, like how many people

397
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: do they have they can afford to buy these teams?

398
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: People think I'm nuts. Pete Carroll is not trying to lose.

399
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: He's he's not trying to tank. He's seventy years old.

400
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: John Schneider might be cool with it, but Pete Carroll

401
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: is not. Pete Carroll thinks they can be competitive one

402
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: million percent. I promise you that he is not coaching

403
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: to win four games. Now they may and it may

404
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: be the best thing that happens to them, but that's

405
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: just not the case. Uh, golfer from Hawaii played D

406
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: two a Dominican University and Marint don't look up my scores.

407
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: They were horrible. Anyways, Big Falcons fan, I know you're

408
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: skeptical of Drake London, which is fair. But with London

409
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: six four, Pit six six, Take six five, Edward three,

410
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: and Patterson six too, it seems pretty clear that Arthur

411
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: Smith is trying to get physical on the offensive side

412
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: of the ball, something that Falcons have been lacking for years.

413
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: Even though I agree someone like Jordan Davis probably would

414
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: have been a better pick. I feel like you can

415
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: respect Smith sticking with the brand and trying to implement thoughts.

416
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: If he's trying to do that, and I think it's

417
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: fair to say that he is Pitts and then this

418
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: guy I appreciate having a philosophical belief and going all

419
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: in with that. Now, sometimes you have to change your

420
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: philosophical beliefs as time goes. But I I have no

421
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that draft. Big guys try

422
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: to overpower people. Now Here's the thing with Kyle Pitts

423
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: can run. Kyle Pitts is also a tight end. Drake

424
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: London runs like four six eight. Now if Drake London

425
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: plays fast. Keenan Allen didn't run fast. Uh, Davante Adams

426
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: didn't run fast, and they dominate now second round in

427
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: third round, right now, Drake London, you had to draft

428
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: to get Drake London. You had to draft him in

429
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: the first round. I understand that, but like, couldn't they

430
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: have just taken Garrett Wilson. I just don't see how

431
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: Drake London is a better player Garrett Wilson, I see.

432
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: I just don't believe it. And that's it sounds like

433
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm being critical. Like I like Drake London. I do.

434
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I loved watching him play at USC. I just think

435
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: eight is pretty rich for my blood. Like you, you

436
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: can love a home, I mean, I would love to

437
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: buy that and it's on the market for two million.

438
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: You're like, should I love it at one too? But

439
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't love it at too? Right? It's no different

440
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: how I look at Drake London. Love the guy, love

441
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: what he represents, Love the stories I've heard around the

442
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: USC program about the guy. I'm rooting for him to succeed.

443
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't care that I said it was a draft,

444
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: bad draft pick. I I root for good people to

445
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: have success. I'm not one of those people that like

446
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: root against people. I don't even root against Brandon Stalley.

447
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: I hope the Charges are good, right, I don't want

448
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: to see the Cardinals be good. I'll be honest there,

449
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: but the Chargers, Like I love Justin Herbert might be

450
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: my favorite player in the NFL not named like Mahomes

451
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: or Josh Allen. So I'm a big fan. But um,

452
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, We'll see I just I'm skeptical. Um skeptical.

453
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: Love the show, really enjoy the fan interaction. Brown's fan here.

454
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: Ready to move on from Baker. If you're a GM

455
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: interested inquiring Baker, what's the magic number salary? Wise, you

456
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: would want to commit toward Baker's nineteen million dollars guaranteed. Um,

457
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: I would say, at minimum, we gotta cut that bad

458
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: boy in half at minimum, because part of it is

459
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: like I'm not just acquiring the player, Like we got

460
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: what's going on with the guy, Like, what's the deal?

461
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: Why did Myles Garrett just kind of crush him on

462
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: his way out? Why do all these guys? I where

463
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: did I hear something? One of the uh the corner

464
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: from Northwestern? Is it Newsome? Who they drafted last year.

465
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: I think said something how O'Dell Beckham, like they all

466
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: loved O'Dell didn't like Baker sums off Man. So it's like,

467
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: it's more I don't like bringing toxic quarterbacks into my building.

468
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: I can do it at other positions. I can take

469
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: like Javon Kinlaw was a risk for the fort I

470
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: can do it at d tackle. He's six six pounds,

471
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: cool with it, I'll try it. I don't do it

472
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: at quarterback. It's why so many quarterbacks who's inc are

473
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: on rosters, Jay Chase, Daniel, Chad Hanny, all these guys,

474
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: because they're great guys. You want that energy. So if

475
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: Baker is not a lock to be my starter, I

476
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: need positive energy around everyone makes son of Nate Sudfeld

477
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: when he got uh put into when Doug Peterson put

478
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: him in the game for tanking against the Giants Week seventeen,

479
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I'm watching the Niner practice.

480
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan loves him. You know why Doug loves Himkyle

481
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: Shanahan loves him. Coaches love backup quarterbacks because usually they're

482
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: like coaches and good guys. It feels like something's off

483
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: with Baker, So I'd argue until I figure out what's

484
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: his deal? Why did the whole team not like him?

485
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: You did, I wouldn't acquire him. Thoughts for the pod. Also,

486
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: let's hear some random Bowl predictions for the coming NFL season.

487
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: Mine is the Panthers get nine wins and wild card

488
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Big fan, So best quarterback for Meats

489
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Division Borrow a f C North, Um agreed, who Lamar

490
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: pick it and Watson who suspended? So I agree a

491
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: f C South Tanney Hill, they said, Matt Ryan agreed,

492
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: a f C East, Josh Allen, a f C West,

493
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Rogers, Brady, Dakota, Prescott, and Stafford. Yeah. I mean,

494
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty easy list, full agreement there.

495
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 1: We'll do some of that. I mean, we got so

496
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: long to go before the coming season. I mean, it's

497
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: I'm recording. This is June three. We got we got

498
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: a while to go. You know, we got a while

499
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: while to go. I heard you talking about music subscription services.

500
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: I know you have Prime duh. So you so you

501
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: use Amazon Prime Music. It's great and included with your

502
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: Prime membership. Occasionally you'll have music that needs Amazon unlimited,

503
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: but it's not too uncommon. Honestly, I've never used Amazon Music.

504
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: You know it's crazy. I I mean, I pay for

505
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: so many services. I use Pandora, which I do not

506
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: pay for, and still here ads. So yeah, that's me.

507
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: How do you teams evaluate players character during pre draft interviews?

508
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: I assume players experience enough to answer the questions in

509
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: a way. They appear as good teammates, hard working. How

510
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: much can you trust their college coaches, considering it's in

511
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: their best interest to have a guy drafted as high

512
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: as possible? How do you recognize what's bs and what's not.

513
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: Seems impossible, very very difficult. I was only I worked

514
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: in the office for a couple of years and was

515
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: only on the road for one year. But I did

516
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: it when I was at Fresno State with Drew Hill,

517
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: who now runs Oklahoma's personnel department. He was a pro liaison.

518
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: So every program, like if I go to Fresno State,

519
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 1: if I go to USC if I go to Texas wherever.

520
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: Any any college football program, but obviously the Power five

521
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: and the Division one programs have the most NFL talent.

522
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: They have a guy that's called a pro liaison and

523
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: Over the years, you're gonna get to know that guy

524
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: in theory pretty well. And some guys are different than other.

525
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: Some programs are different others, But for the most part,

526
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: they'll shoot you straight. So when you we go up,

527
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: tell me about John Middlecoff, and the guy will just

528
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: start telling you about not the player. His job is

529
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: to tell you about the person who John Middlcoff. He's

530
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: from Davis, California. He had two parents. He has a brother,

531
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: good guy, business major. He's been a hard worker when

532
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: he's been here. At first, he was a little immature

533
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: when he showed up. He now has a serious girlfriend.

534
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: He's been great in the weight room for the last

535
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: three years. Um, just you know, really he's gonna be

536
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: a team captain this year or vice versa. You know,

537
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: John Middlcoff comes from a tough background. Uh. You know,

538
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: we took somewhat of a chance on him. He's obviously

539
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: was a really talented player, but you know, we questioned

540
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: how he'd fitted in the program, and it's been a

541
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: rocky road. He's been suspended before. Uh, he struggles with

542
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: coming late to meetings. When you know, I I would

543
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: recommend you talk to the dB coach. Uh, he's not

544
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's not great meetings, he doesn't listen, he

545
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: doesn't always know his assignments. Uh, and you know that

546
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: who knows. I mean that's how it's the way I mean,

547
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: we could describe anything. And some guys was hard as

548
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: like you know, he's he's a little immature and he's

549
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: been in trouble before. But I really love the guy.

550
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: I think he's a good guy at heart. When they

551
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: say like, yeah, I think the guy might be a

552
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: bad guy, that's when you need to do some digging,

553
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: and you always have to dig naturally. Like talk to

554
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: I always like talking to women. Try to either find

555
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: an academic advisor, find someone in the building who was

556
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: a female, and get their opinion on the guy. Because,

557
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: like you said, some coaches can blow smoke, but usually

558
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: like or an equipment guy or you know, a trainer,

559
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: how do they treat people? Because for the most part,

560
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: a guy is gonna treat a football player is going

561
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: to treat their coach or their position coach pretty well.

562
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: But like, how do they treat the academic advisor when

563
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: the coaches in around, How do they treat the assistant trainer?

564
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: How do they treat you know, some random graduate assistant.

565
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: That's where you can get some pretty good info. When

566
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: I was a g A at Fresno State, that's where

567
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: I got to know a lot of scout because they

568
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: talked to me and I was trying to impress them,

569
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: so I'd give them good ship. Now, most of our

570
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: guys were good, So it's like in terms of character,

571
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: but at the time, I mean, presidos had hit or

572
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: miss guys over the years, but you know what I mean.

573
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: So it's just you gotta get that information and then

574
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: you just and then you just kind of that's your

575
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: base and then you work off that. But you're right,

576
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: it's like people. We all can have biases, we all

577
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: can have agendas, we all can have different interactions with

578
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: different people. Uh, it's not it's not a you know,

579
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: it's an inexact science because it's not black and white.

580
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: You can't just be like I went to the doctor

581
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: today and uh I got my height and weight like

582
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: five tan one seventy. It was like, actually, I was like, god,

583
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: I I'm doing pretty well in the food department. Now

584
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: I haven't been won seventy fifteen years, but it was like,

585
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: it's black and white. That's how tall I am. However,

586
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: many interest she said, seventy one and a half or

587
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: seventy two or seventy I don't even remember what the

588
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: number was. And one seventy one. There's no arguing that. Right.

589
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: You measure a player he's six to ten, Like, is

590
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: a good guy? How much does he like football? You

591
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: have to accumulate information and then just keep talking it out,

592
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: and you send multiple people into school, especially with guys

593
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna draft, and then you spend time around him.

594
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: It's just it's a long process and you're gonna you're

595
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna get some wrong the other thing and maybe this

596
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: might change now with the n I l is uh

597
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: the money, Like, okay, if we're gonna we have the

598
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: twelfth overall pick, if we draft this guy, we're gonna

599
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: give him twenty three million dollars and eight fifteen million

600
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: dollar signing bonus. If you would have given me a

601
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollar signing bonus when I was twenty two,

602
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: who knows, you know? I mean, at thirty seven, I

603
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: got a pretty good idea how I'd allocate some things.

604
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: Might have buying like four cars, seven watches and eighty

605
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: million PlayStations for all my friends. You know, I don't know.

606
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: He's just like it's it's very hard to know, it

607
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: really is. You just do the best you can. You know,

608
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: you just and it's not like when you date someone

609
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: right before you get engaged, before you get married. You

610
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: can spend a lot of time with them, you can

611
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: eventually move in with them, you can, like you know,

612
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: you get a good gauge of the person. It's not

613
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: really like that, right, you get the combine, you get

614
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: the pro day, and you get a visit if you

615
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, you get thirty of them, so you better

616
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: use your time wisely. And even at the pro day,

617
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's if a guy is a pretty highly

618
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: touted guy and he's got some question marks, everyone's gonna

619
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: be wanting to talk to him. So it's hard to

620
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: get some hard to get some time. It's it's a

621
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: it's a very very difficult job. That's why you gotta

622
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time, and you gotta meet a

623
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: lot of people to beat to me, to be a

624
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: really really good scout, you know, if you're a national

625
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: Scout or college director, you need to know a lot

626
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: of people at the top programs and I'm not just

627
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: talking coaches. I'm talking like the trainer, maybe like a

628
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: booster type guy, an act a debic person. Uh, you

629
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: just you gotta be hustling. You're basically a detective. I'd

630
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: argue your job is more important to find out that

631
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: stuff than it is the player, because like, once you

632
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: get a couple of eyes on it, we can you know,

633
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: there might be some difference of opinions, but we can

634
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: get a gauge on, like, you know, can Garrett Wilson player?

635
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: Can't you not? You know, can Davante Smith or can

636
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase or Michael Parsons? But like, do we want

637
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: to do we want this person in our building? Is

638
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: this guy gonna be like Aaron Donald or Nick Bosa

639
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. Like you get those guys in your building,

640
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: you feel really George Kittle, you know, Russell Wilson forever,

641
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, you feel really good about those guys. But

642
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: like those guys aren't always Sometimes you get some bad guys. Right,

643
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was a really good guy until maybe he's

644
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: not right and now it's a problem, and like and

645
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: that stuff, Like I can't blame anyone for that, Like

646
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: every single human you ever met said good things about

647
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and now people changing their tune. Okay, last one,

648
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: love the pod. You're always very insightful and measure your takes.

649
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: I have a Patriot question. Why have we struggled to

650
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: draft offensive weapons? I can't think of the truly great

651
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: offensive player we've drafted drafted since Cronk. It's been bust

652
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: after bust. The only good receiver the Pats have had

653
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: been acquired through free agency or, in Edelman's case, dumb

654
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: luck drafted drafted as a quarterback. He wasn't drafted as

655
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback. They drafted him to move him to wide receiver.

656
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: But I know what you mean. I don't know. I don't.

657
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, Bill just can't identify wide receivers. He

658
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: just can't. Like I think we can all agree with that.

659
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: Like he can't. He can pick linebackers, He can pick lineman.

660
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: He can pick quarterbacks, right Jimmy Jacobe mac Like he

661
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: can pick kickers, long snappers, you know, special teamers. He

662
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: cannot draft a wide receiver for the life of them.

663
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, I don't understand it. I really don't. I

664
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: don't have an answer to it. He just really, that's

665
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: his that's his blind spot. It's not even debatable at

666
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: this point. You know, It's like if you wrote the

667
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: Belichick Hall of Fame resume, I would say that. I

668
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: mean that coupled to me, the flake gate, not on him,

669
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: spy gate, everyone was spying. I'd say the lack of

670
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: ability to draft wide receivers is like his true true

671
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: flaw because other than that, he can scheme, he knows

672
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: every position, he can coach wide receivers, but he can't

673
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: draft him. No, no explanation on my part. Audios help.

674
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Everyone's having a good weekend. Um, see you guys soon. Peace.

675
