We 8 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: had We had some technical difficulties on my end. The 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: audio for the podcast was messed up, so we had 10 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: to remove the mail bag because it was It was 11 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: a rough listen. So anyone that shot me a mail bag, 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna it's impossible to know exactly who you are. 13 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: But you guys have some good questions, but they are 14 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: not going to make it on this podcast. I just 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: have to blame myself. I take responsibility, cod Coach. I 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: screwed this up, even though it wasn't technically my fault 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: because I don't know how to do these cords or whatever. 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: It's just it's on the cords. But I'll take the 19 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: responsibility and we'll just move on. You know, sometimes you 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: go three and out and you got to figure out 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: a way to get it done. The next time you 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: get on the field. So here's the game plan. We 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: have some meati football talk. I was able to save 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: that audio and just no mailbag, so a little bit 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: of a shorter podcast. The game plan. I'm going on 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Collins Pod today and then I might do a mailbag 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: only podcast for Friday, and then probably react to anything 28 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: that interesting that happens in preseason games or in the 29 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: NFL world over the next three or four days for Monday. 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: But that's the game plan. Apologize for anyone that took 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: time to send me a question and it didn't make 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: it because of my shitty equipment. But other than that, 33 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: the mailbag is going to keep rocking and rolling at 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: John Middlecopps the Instagram at John Middlecoppins the Instagram.

Do it and do it now. I 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: actually saw a headline right before I was going to 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: fire up this podcast, and it got me thinking, and 58 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: it was Shane Steichen that basically essentially said the there 59 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: is no ceiling for Anthony Richson. He can be as 60 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: good as he wants to be. And listen, anytime you 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: draft a high ceiling player, there is no guarantee that 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: he'll ever be good, let alone some star. But I'm 63 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: always for taking big swings in drafts in general. I 64 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: will always back a team for swinging for the fences, 65 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: because anytime that you try to hit a home run, 66 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: you might strike out. And while that's cool in modern 67 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: day baseball, historically it can be pretty bad. It can 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: cost people jobs, right, it's and when it comes to 69 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: quarterback play, we have seen the amount of quarterbacks that 70 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: are getting drafted high. I guess it's always been that way, 71 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: but the last five six years, the quarterback you know, 72 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: not based on much or are going really high. And 73 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: it got me thinking about Shane Steiken, like, how do 74 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: you become a lot of defensive coaches? Right, Mike Tomlin 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: Harbaugh technically a special teams guy, but he also has 76 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: got a little defensive background. And obviously Belichick, Pete Carroll 77 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: like those guys champion coaches, right, championship level guys, but 78 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: none of them are viewed as like super schematic offensive guys. 79 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: They are very dependent on their offensive coordinator. Even Belichick, 80 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: which you know, for my money goes down as the 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: greatest coach of my lifetime. You give him a shitty 82 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, akaa defensive coordinator, He's gonna suck. Right. Pete 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: Carroll used to butt heads with some of his offensive coordinators. 84 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, it could be disastrous relative to their standards, right, 85 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: and then you think of all the young, hot shot 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators who we view as successful around the NFL. 87 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. What made him really special in Philadelphia? Obviously 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: consistent winning, but he won with several different quarterbacks and 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: several different types of quarterbacks. I mean he's made the 90 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: playoffs with Jeff Garcia, he could be competitive with Jay 91 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: Feely let alone, a guy like Michael Vick or Donovan mcdabb. 92 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: Drafted Kevin Cobb. Now, I don't think Kevin would actually 93 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: been good, but he was cool with trying it. Alex Smith, 94 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, very open minded. He can win with anyone. 95 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: Can he win a super Bowl? Now? He can win 96 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: a super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes, But can't he win divisions? 97 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Host playoff games with Alex Smith? Hell? Yeah, That's why 98 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh got a lot of credit. Won with a 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: lot of different types of quarterbacks. And like, what makes 100 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: a great CEO right now in America? Well, if you're 101 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: a public company, as you're stock going up, right, do 102 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: you do things to drive the stock price up? Because 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: if you do, we will view it, you view you 104 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: as a really good CEO. When it comes to offensive 105 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: football in the NFL, can you manipulate, coach and work 106 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: with the quarterback? And if the guy is not some 107 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: elite player, can you coach around him and get the 108 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: most out of them? How did Sean McVeigh become a star. 109 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: It didn't take the Super Bowl for Sean McVay to 110 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: be some headliner. He showed up in LA after Jared 111 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: Goff's rookie year, which kind of was a joke. No, 112 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: I like Jared Goff coming out of cow but that 113 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: rookie year made me question question. And then immediately they 114 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: were rattling off playoff victories and competing against New England 115 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl a couple of years later. Right, 116 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. When we think of Kyle Shanahan, Yeah, he 117 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: whiffed on Trey Lance. But he can coach Matt shab 118 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: He can coach Matt Ryan. He can compete with Jimmy 119 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: Garoppolo and Brock freaking Purdy, the last pick in the draft. 120 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: Coach all different quarterbacks. It doesn't matter. The guy doesn't 121 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: need to be the most talented. He can scheme around him. 122 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: He can build a team and work with a quarterback 123 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: that isn't some top five guy. It's why we give 124 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: him a lot of credit. Held, the forty nine Ers 125 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: are a Super Bowl contender this year and a team 126 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: that's going to have some of the best odds to 127 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: win the entire thing, and they don't even have a true, 128 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: quote unquote franchise quarterback. Right, you get a lot of 129 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: credit for it. Hell, even Mike McCarthy say what you 130 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: want about him, he's kind of earned a little respect 131 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: back after the Green Bay the ending kind of turned 132 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: into a disaster. It's like, Yay, he's pretty good coach. 133 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: Is he flied coach for sure? But working with Rogers now, 134 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: working with Dak Prescott, Hell's won some games with Cooper Rush, 135 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: Shane Sichin. I'll never get over now. Listen, maybe this 136 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: guy was destined to be this because of his work, ethic, 137 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: his character, his determination, and he has like a Josh 138 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: Allen level like can improve Now we'll see if he 139 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: can sustain it, But not in a million years would 140 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: like honestly, what Jalen Hurts has done is insane. People 141 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: in Philly would even tell you that on the record, 142 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: let alone off the record. It's crazy. How good he's gotten. 143 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: But a lot of that is just he's just his football. IQ, 144 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: his football, his willingness to work on football got all 145 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: the variables right, But his talent coming out of college 146 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: working with an elite offensive coach Lincoln Riley, I'm sorry, 147 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: not a lot of people had him viewed him as 148 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: a second round pick, let alone some franchise quarterbacks, some 149 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna sign some two hundred million dollar contract 150 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: and Shane Steiken. Let's never forget. I like Sirianni. He 151 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: makes me laugh and he's clearly a pretty solid leader, 152 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: right and no one can dispute that. But I wouldn't 153 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: call him mister x's and o's. He hasn't called the 154 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: plays once Jalen started playing, well, this guy did so. 155 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: Anytime as a coordinator you impact a guy and get 156 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: him to maximize his potential into start them, you get 157 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: a lot of credit. So how Kyle Shanahan got on 158 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: the map to be head coaching interviews, Matt Ryan MVP 159 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of credit for that. Brian Daball, Josh 160 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Allen Star, you get like we put you like God, 161 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: look what he did as a coordinator. That's how you 162 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: get your chance as a head coach, and Shane Steiken 163 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: when he makes these quotes about Anthony Richardson, if he 164 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: turns Anthony Richardson into a top ten quarterback, Now, I 165 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: would probably just bet against it, just because the history 166 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: of the NFL, most of these guys do not become 167 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: stars just based on a numbers basis, right, But I 168 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: knew a lot of people in the NFL that went 169 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: through Florida, and as the process went, no one could 170 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: argue about his physical skills, though his tape sucked. Now 171 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: his coach in college, and this is something that you're 172 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: constantly battling as a scout. Right, you have to separate 173 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: the player sometimes from the program, Like if you underachieve 174 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: at Alabama at Georgia for Lincoln Riley on offense, it's 175 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: probably on you. But I'm not sure anyone at Florida 176 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: over hell, the last decade, it's always been their fault 177 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: if they've quote unquote underachieved. Billy Napier, if he doesn't 178 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: win this year, might get run out of town. So 179 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, We're gonna find out over the next couple 180 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: of years, like can he drastically improve? And if he does, 181 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: Shane Stiken's your next coaching star. She's just that simple, 182 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: because if he does maximize eighty percent of this potential, 183 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: he's going to be a legit player and this franchise 184 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: is going to factor in to the AFC and he 185 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: is going to have multiple guys on his resume that went. God, 186 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: you took Jalen Hurts, which mid second round pick, and 187 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: turned him into a star, and then you took this guy. 188 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: At least Jalen had been starting for a long time 189 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: at Alabama and then transferred to Oklahoma. This guy had 190 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: what thirteen fifteen starts at college. It wasn't really that pretty. 191 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: There were just is this guy even good at football? 192 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: Right now? Florida is in a completely different level than 193 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: North Dakota State, But look the forty nine ers can't 194 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: figure out figure out trail Limps. Now, ultimately, he doesn't 195 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: impact Kyle because what good I did with Perdy and 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: let's say Purty fails and they bring in Sam Darnold 197 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: and he succeeds, Like, Kyle's gonna get credit and he 198 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: benefits because their team's really good. Right, Sean McVay is like, look, 199 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: look what I did with Jared Goff. You get me, 200 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford Boom super Bowl. It's how you get a 201 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: lot of credit as a coach and you kind of 202 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: become you know, legend would be strong, but you get 203 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: this I don't even know how to quite put it, 204 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: but this reputation in the league, which is fair that 205 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: once you impact the quarterback, you become an elite coach, 206 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: which just how we view you. Because that's the truth. 207 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: Especially with a guy that's gonna call the plays and 208 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: if he does this back to back raw products and 209 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: has this type impact, you know, the colture is gonna 210 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: be good. Now, I think they're gonna stink this year, 211 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: but just big picture. Now, again, I'm not saying this 212 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: is gonna happen, but this is how it happens. Right, 213 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: There's always one like Brian a Ball. If the Giants 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: make the playoffs again, Daniel Jones gets better. Like it's 215 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: clear dude's a big time elite offensive coach. I saw 216 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: a headline Rob Gronkowski. I don't even know who he 217 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: was interviewing with, So he's the only guy that could 218 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: talk me out of coming out of retirement. Might have 219 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: been saying a tongue in cheek, might have been joking, 220 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: But point is, like Brian Dables, legit, Brian dabol could 221 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: coach and impact the quarterback position, did it with Josh Allen, 222 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: very impressed. Gets Daniel freaking Jones to be a credible. 223 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: If Daniel Jones throws twenty five touchdowns this year and 224 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: just starts looking like Alex Smith started doing with Kansas City, 225 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: like Brian Dabels, is gonna be a consistent guy that 226 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: we factor in top five, top ten coach in the league. 227 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: Because when you're able to impact that position, got you 228 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: pay the most money, how you win the league. So 229 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm very fascinated just watch this Anthony Richardson Shane Stiken 230 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: experience over the next couple of years. Don't expect them 231 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: to be good this year, but it's gonna be fascinating 232 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: to it because if you can mold raw products, be 233 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: like a head coach for life. Even if down the 234 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: road this goes bad and he gets fired, like his 235 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: job security in the NFL, he's on scholarship. I said 236 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: yesterday that like I assumed because the contract wasn't out, 237 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: that they guaranteed him or he gave him a bonus 238 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: between a million and two million. I was reading old 239 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: Florio breaking down the contract gave Zeke six hundred thousand dollars, 240 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: and I said, over and over, it's not shocking. I 241 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: know Coward can't understand why he won't pay a lot 242 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: of money for players, and I think it's simple, like 243 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: this is who he is, who he's always been. He 244 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: pivoted once and it backfired in his face. He signed 245 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: individual players to a lot of money, like a Stefan Gilmour, 246 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: who's I don't know at the time, was an elite 247 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: talent and he gave him forty guaranteed. It was like 248 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: a plug and play star. But he does not like 249 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: buying players. He specially doesn't like getting into bidding wars. 250 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: And here's what I will defend him. Like, am I 251 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: getting into a bidding war with DeAndre Hopkins at this 252 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: point in time in his career. Probably not, especially when 253 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: I have already somewhat similar offensive weapons Dalvin Cook I like. 254 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: But Belichick's not getting into a bidding war for a 255 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: guy like him. So when I see they gave him 256 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: a six hundred thousand dollars signing bonus and his base 257 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: salary if he makes the team, because it would be guaranteed, 258 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: he probably will. But six hundred thousand dollars in the 259 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: NFL is not six hundred thousand dollars to me or you. 260 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: If Zeke has terrible practices and they think he shot, 261 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: he will not make the team. But this is who 262 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: Belichick is like Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett does not invest 263 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: like me at this point, and you could argue he 264 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: never really did. But he's not looking for crazy growth companies. 265 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: He's not betting in DraftKings or Open Door or so 266 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: far like. That's not his thing. He bets on Apple, 267 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: Coca Cola, Chevron, Oxy, Bank of America forever, like he 268 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: bets on banks. It's like slow and steady. Well, he's 269 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: also investing billions of dollars. He's not looking to quadruple 270 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: his money in a year or quadruple his money over 271 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,359 Speaker 1: a several year period. He's cool with the steady, slow returns, 272 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: Slow and stead he wins the race. And that's how 273 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick with Tom Brady operated forever. Now should he 274 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: pivot his mindset because Brady is no longer there, which 275 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: is essentially his dry powder equivalent to Warren Buffett's money 276 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But anyone who's known any older person 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: who is rich and rich is relative, I mean to 278 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: most normal people. Guy with scessful business worth twenty thirty 279 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: fifty ten, however, many millions of dollars, but you view 280 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: as a millionaire, very successful, rich guy in your town 281 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: who is not worried about money. They do not change 282 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: in their seventies. They don't become some like if they're 283 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: an old school conservative, slow and steady guy becomes some 284 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: ultra progressive, open minded guy at seventy three years old. 285 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: That's not the way it works. So Belichick was never 286 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: gonna pivot like that. So of course he's going to 287 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: like a Zeke at a six hundred thousand dollars price 288 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: point more than he's going to like bidding against older 289 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: players that he might say are even trending down a 290 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: little bit that might be better than Zeke right now. 291 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: I know Hopkins plays a different position, but he's not 292 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: going to overpay or get into bidding wars. And sometimes, 293 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: like to get a player, you have to get into 294 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: a bidding war. Nature the beast a couple of years ago, 295 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: what did the Chiefs try to do? They tried to 296 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: land Trent Williams, and honestly, they probably offered the same amount. 297 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers did drove up his price, but 298 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: he was loyal to Kyle, but the Chiefs were all 299 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: in on it, and the Chiefs and Andy has always 300 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: kind of big game hunted and for a long time 301 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: he did that in Philadelphia and it didn't always work. 302 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: Terrell Owens like, now, I'm not saying Bill hasn't done 303 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: that with guys, but he's usually bought low how to 304 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: get Randy Moss didn't pay a lot last time I checked. 305 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: Fourth round pick. You know some of the guys that 306 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: he's landed, his core championship level guys Rob Gronkowski got 307 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: in the second round. He is not some crazy wheeler 308 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: and dealer, not worried about asset management. That means a 309 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: lot to him. He views this a lot like a 310 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Warn Buffett type in terms of from an economical standpoint. Now, 311 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: at this point in time in his career, with the 312 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: pressure on this team, is that the way to do it? 313 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: Probably not, But I just do not understand why people 314 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: do not can't wrap their heads around like this is 315 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: who he is. Most coaches go down in flames at 316 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: the end, right because they just it's hard for them 317 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: to change it's hard for them to pivot. And in football, 318 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: if you had a great quarterback and then you no 319 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: longer do, you usually kind of suck. You don't look 320 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: as good. But also when I hear the notion that 321 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: Bill like, look at Bill's record with Brady and without Brady, like, yeah, 322 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: most guys, a non offensive coach is probably not gonna 323 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: win with big with Mac Jones or Brock perty the 324 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: reason Kyle or Andy can win more games with a 325 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: random quarterback. They impact that side of the ball. They 326 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: literally call the fucking plays. So wasn't shocked at all 327 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: to see the numbers come out lower than I expected, 328 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: And it just speaks to who he is man. He 329 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: just slow and steady, and it's in my opinion, it's 330 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: ultimately gonna cost him his job. I think it might 331 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: end after this season. I'm a betting man. It does 332 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: end after this season. But he was never gonna go 333 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: big game, honey, Robert Salo. If you haven't seen it, 334 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: just go to Twitter or google it. He gave like 335 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: a two minute I haven't watched the second episode yet 336 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks, but I did watch the clip of 337 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: him addressing his team after a joint practice last week 338 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers, and the one thing that stood 339 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: out to me and I tweeted this out today, there 340 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: is no word in the Webster's Dictionary that defines the 341 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: sport of football and goes and parallels the sport more 342 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: than the word fuck. He had to use it, I 343 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: don't know thirty five times, and a lot of coaches 344 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: in the history of this show have used it. Some 345 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: people like, are they planning for the cameras? No, that's 346 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: just kind of how they talk. Doesn't mean everyone talks 347 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: like that. Coach Read is not a swearer at practice, 348 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: doesn't mean all those other coaches aren't. Now, I'm not 349 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: saying that you just swear and to swear, but the 350 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: F word gets used a ton meeting rooms, practice field, 351 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: just interactions. I actually think that's I have this kind 352 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: of theory in my head after watching I wonder if 353 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: that's a big reason, just the style of football and 354 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: what surrounds it. What where you think about when you 355 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: think about football resonates with a lot of human beings, 356 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: most humans I know, successful, middle class or whoever use 357 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: that word all the time. I actually think clips like that, Sabin, 358 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: whoever coach K's had some historic ones that resonates with 359 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: people when that's how the coach talks. And I think 360 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: what makes football unique is you go to a high 361 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: school practice, you definitely go to a college practice. If 362 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: you go to an NFL practice, it all kind of 363 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: sounds the same. I even had someone tweet at me 364 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: like I'm a middle school like pee weet coach, and 365 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: I have to be careful, these kids are only eleven. 366 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: Moment you get to JV football, man, that word starts 367 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: flying around kind of funny, but sala is just he's 368 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: a fun personality I'm rooting for. But the one thing 369 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: that stood out to me and he just absolutely undresses 370 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: their offensive line, who I guess got worked at this practice, 371 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: which in fairness, Carolina has a pretty good defensive line, 372 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: but they got their ass kicked and he basically went 373 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: around the entire team. Defense was awesome. You know, the 374 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: offensive wide receivers and rogers and the running backs all 375 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: look good. The offensive line got destroyed. And it got 376 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: me thinking when these speeches happened in training camp, and 377 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: this is still the one thing that's still kind of 378 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: cool that you get with hard knocks is just a 379 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: real interaction between a coach and the team, whether it's 380 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: a position coach, whether it's the coordinator, or whether it's 381 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: the head coach. What he's telling these guys what makes 382 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: football unique. This is not baseball, where you might suck 383 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: and I'm stuck with your contract because you make so 384 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: much money, or basketball, where I'm paying like five guys 385 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: the max and ninety percent of them aren't even that good, 386 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: and it's like I can't even trade you. I'm just 387 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: stuck with you. Guys. In football, the majority of these 388 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: guys can be cut, can be benched in a moment's notice. 389 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: So when I saw that clip, which is a little 390 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: concerning for someone who thinks the Jets have a chance 391 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: to be competitive and be a Super Bowl level contender 392 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: if their offensive line sucks. I'll be the first to admit, 393 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: if you just tell me the Jets offensive line is 394 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: gonna be one of the worst than football, they will 395 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: not make the playoffs. I don't care how good Rogers is. 396 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: That would be a problem if they are a low 397 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: level offensive line, But if they can just be middle 398 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: of the road, they'll be okay. Clearly right now work 399 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: in progress. But what I think he's essentially saying to 400 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: all of them. None of your spots are safe. I 401 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: don't give a shit who who you are, because in 402 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: football it's true, I cut you half the guys don't 403 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: have any guaranteed money beck them. We think you're a 404 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: bus whatever, We'll just move on. We'll trade for a 405 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: guy here in the next week. We'll claim a couple guys, 406 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: which is not ideal. I mean, it's not like you're 407 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: finding Lane Johnson Trent Williams on the scrap heat. But 408 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: my point is, like, we'll just try other guys. In 409 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: other sports, you're just kind of stuck. Your roster's your 410 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: roster right when the Lakers roll into training camp for 411 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: the most part, unless they make a major trade, that's 412 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: kind of their squad. Same with the Warriors. Right baseball, 413 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: you got to all the big the Yankees teams, the 414 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: Yankees team in football. Fuck no, if you're right guard, 415 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: that guy's not getting it done, we'll bench you for 416 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: the backup. And if that guy's not getting done, we'll 417 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: claim a guy off the practice squad. So, in not 418 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: so many words, he didn't say which old school coaches 419 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: have said, we will cut you if you don't get 420 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: it done, But indirectly he's saying you will not be 421 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: on this team. You will not play for us, because 422 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: we're not gonna We might go down because of you, guys, 423 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: but we're not going down because of you. So whoever 424 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: was terrible in that practice, and I would imagine there's 425 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: more context if you watched the episode, sounded like the 426 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: whole group you will not play. You will just find 427 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: someone else. And that's the thing with football now. It's 428 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: much harder in twenty twenty three because there aren't as 429 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: many good defensive linemen or excuse me, offensive linemen. Depth 430 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: has never been worse. There's more good defensive linemen coming 431 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: into the league on a daily basis. We'll try other guys, 432 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: we'll rotate, We'll give a lot of guys opportunities to play. 433 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: We're not just going down with these five right just 434 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: like last year, Zach Wilson's number two pick. By mid season, 435 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: we're rolling Mike White. We don't give too much pressure 436 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: on this squad right now. We've invested and got the 437 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: opportunity of a lifetime to get a Hall of Fame 438 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: guy through trade, which is not very normal, who unlike 439 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, probably still pretty good. And so when I 440 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: watched that, I just thought, like, all those guys better 441 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: be nervous, every single guy in that offensive line room 442 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: better They ain't no scholarships around here, especially to the 443 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: guys who are on that field getting worked. Because I've 444 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: been in these meetings, I know the way these coaches 445 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: talk like that. They are talking like who's out there. 446 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Every one of their scouts in New York right now 447 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: is going through the top offensive lineman who might get 448 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: cut throughout the preseason, and they went seven and ten, Like, 449 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: it would not stun me if they claim multiple offensive 450 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: lineman the big cut date. It would not stun me 451 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: if they trade some fourth round pick for some offensive 452 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: linemen in the next week. And that's what Robert sla 453 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: is essentially telling them, better pick your shit up or 454 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: you'll be packing your shit up out of town. And last, 455 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: but not least, I've been saying this forever, Like the streaming. 456 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: A lot of people like streaming and listen from an 457 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: economical standpoint, like the business model. You know, Disney's losing 458 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: their ass. Netflix didn't make money for a long period 459 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: of time, and like, clearly it's pretty hard the amount 460 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: of money you have to spend to then make money. 461 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: It's complicated, but in terms of me, the consumer can't 462 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: recommend streaming services enough. I spend most of my time 463 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: if I'm not watching a game like Netflix. The new 464 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: Oxy Cotton show I think it's called Painkiller is elite. 465 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: Cannot recommend it enough. I've watched this is the second 466 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: Oxy Cotton show I've watched. Both of them have been fantastic. 467 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: Two of the better shows I've watched in the last 468 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: like twelve months. One I think was on Hulu, this 469 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: one's on Netflix. Streaming services have changed the way I 470 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: think about content now. There's also a lot of bad content. 471 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: But I just watched The Lincoln Lawyer. I love it, 472 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: and I last year I was a big proponent and 473 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: a big believer in Amazon. It was like this is 474 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: gonna work. Then Al Michael's kind of mailed it in 475 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: and the game for shitty. The product wasn't great, but 476 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: the idea of going to streaming I supported of, like 477 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: this does not have to be on Fox or see 478 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: Yes who clearly didn't even want it because it costs 479 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: too much for what you get on Thursday night. But 480 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: ultimately I believed in like you can put this and 481 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: we will find you right, you build it, they will come. 482 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: You put football games in the National Football League on 483 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: a channel on a service, people will show up. Right. Well, Apple, 484 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: look they just paid messy how much money drive people there? 485 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: I would imagine it's working. They tried it with Major 486 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: League Baseball Apple Plus put the Yankees on there. It 487 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: feels like the Yankees played on Apple Plus a lot. 488 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: They did that on purpose, same with the Dodgers to 489 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: drive people well. I read the day. DirecTV has basically 490 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: had the package since forever, for ninety four, almost thirty years, 491 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: and I haven't had DirecTV since I was growing up 492 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: because we had to have it because you couldn't have 493 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: basic cable where I lived. I don't know the exact reasoning, 494 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: but you just either had the dish or you had nothing. 495 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 1: And I remember my dad, big sports guy, loved it 496 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: because we immediately got all the packages, so NFL we 497 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: had it all and I got, for the first time 498 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: in my adult life the package. Because I worked in football, 499 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: I never really needed it, had access to everything. And 500 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: then once I moved to the Bay Area, I was 501 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: just I always had the Raider and Niner games, and 502 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: I wanted to watch the Niner games and so I 503 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: needed to get the package, but I don't have the dish, 504 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: so I had to get the app, which had some limitations. 505 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: Even though it was very easy to use on my TVs, 506 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't able to do like if the Niners weren't 507 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: playing and I wanted to watch three games. I wanted 508 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: to watch the Bills and the Dolphins. I wanted to 509 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: watch Cowboys Eagles, and I want to watch you know 510 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: some other game, Titans Jacks. I couldn't do three screens 511 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: at once, and I just didn't understand it. Now, those 512 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: of you that had the actual direct TV, you were 513 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: able to do multiple boxes right, And I could do 514 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: it on my tablets on my computer, but I couldn't 515 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: do it on my television. Well, YouTube TV is immediately 516 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: giving me the ability to do that. And here's the 517 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: other thing. They're in a I would imagine over the 518 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: next several years is going to be so elite it'll 519 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: blow your mind. It is going to be such an op. 520 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: This is the business they're in. And I've been a 521 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: YouTube TV guy since I've moved to Arizona as a consumer, 522 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: and it's fantastic. Now a lot of people, some of 523 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: you guys that live in rural areas have gone. You know, 524 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: my internet's not as fast. I can't relate to that. 525 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: I pay, and I have paid. Now, granted, this is 526 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: a business. I'm in a shitload of money. Whatever the 527 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: max is, I think it's like one hundred and fifty 528 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: dollars for the highest speed upload speed for my internet. 529 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: And if you like football, if you like this stuff, listen, 530 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: I think it's worth it. I don't think that is something, 531 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: especially the way everything is going. Cable's holding on for 532 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: dear life. So within the next five ten years, everything 533 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: is going to be based on internet upload speed. And listen. 534 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: My brother's a farmer. They have their office is kind 535 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: of out I wouldn't say the middle of nowhere, but 536 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: it's not exactly in uh, you know, downtown Sacramento. Well 537 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: what does he have, yes, starlink When I had to 538 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: record the podcast there last week with Coward. Again, this 539 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: is like a barn warehouse, no issues. There are so 540 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: many options and that will only continue. I think YouTube 541 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: TV with this package, and I read they need five 542 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: million people to break even, and I think last year, 543 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: I think they average over the last however many years 544 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: way less than that. So they're not going to equal that, 545 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: but ultimately they just wanted it on the game, and 546 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: I would guess they changed the game. I would bet 547 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: if you could, like bet if the package and just 548 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: sports to go along with streaming was just its own 549 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: little ETF, I would bet a lot on that, cause 550 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: that's not only where we're going, it's inevitable, it's not 551 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's not tomorrow, but it ain't twenty years 552 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: from now, and that's where everything's going to be. I 553 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: actually think the next NFL package has that written all 554 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: over it right there. What are they doing this year? 555 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: I think a game's on Peacock. Obviously Amazon has a 556 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: Thursday Night package. I give the NFL a lot of 557 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: credit for how much they make with these old school people, 558 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: but ultimately knowing like this is where it's going to 559 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: end up at, so we can just take all the 560 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: money now. And this has always been a criticism of 561 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: baseball that there's got to be a balance of the two, 562 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: and the NFL is making more money than anyone and 563 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: lapping everyone when it comes to this stuff for a reason. 564 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: And I think they're striking kind of the perfect balance 565 00:30:36,240 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: right now with this situation.
