Speaker 1: John this three and Now podcast. Hopefully everyone's having a

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: good day. We recorded an interview today with Jay Gruden

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: that will be out on Thursday. Today, I wanted to

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: discuss Tua, who I put on ir Fields, who Tomin

38
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: says is gonna be the starting quarterback, the rookie quarterbacks,

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Flores who's dominating in Minnesota, But will that lead to

40
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: a head coaching job. And then like we will do

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: every Wednesday, cough on campus as well as a mail

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: bag at John Middlecoff Instagram. Fire in those dms we

43
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: put out on the YouTube channel. Today played eighteen holes.

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: That's up there on the YouTube channel. I'm shooting another

45
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: video break eighty if you're listening this on Wednesday today,

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna start working on playing with some athletes,

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: coaches or people in general. We'll see what happens. So

48
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna get that off and running now, so you

49
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: can go check that out on the YouTube channel. Subscribe

Speaker 1: three and out, subscribe to the separate feed. Appreciate everyone

52
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: that has. We've got a football game Thursday night, Jets Pats,

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: so we'll talk a little bit about that Thursday, and

54
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: as well as the Jay Gruden talking quarterbacks and offenses

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: and just the Grudens their beauties. So other than that,

56
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: a lot going on, not really, so let's just keep

57
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: on swinging. But I was thinking about because on just

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: college football in general, you know, on Instagram, I often

59
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: get these incredible reels from you know, these stadiums in

60
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: college and One of the coolest ones is when they

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: play Dixie Land Delight at Alabama and the student section,

62
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: which now feels like the entire stadium, adds their little

63
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: song in between the lines, and it's just awesome, especially

64
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: at night with all the phones out. And if you

65
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: want to go to one of these big time college games,

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: we'll get into conference play, so the matchups are going

67
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: to be incredible. Obviously, the NFL feel for all my

68
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Eagles fans that were at the Link, and I've made

69
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: that walk out of that stadium after some bad ls.

70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: It's tough, but going to games is really fun and

71
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: there's nothing like leaving a stadium watching your team get

72
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: a win, especially at home with all your people. It's

73
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: a great communal experience. Concerts, comedy shows, my friends, my partners.

82
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: a minimum four games. He got put on short term IR,

83
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: which is something that has been developed over the last

84
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: six seven years, changed a lot historically back in the day. Hell,

85
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: even when I was in the league. You want an IR,

86
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: you were gone. This is a I love this edition

87
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: of the ability to put guys on short term IR,

88
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: just in general, and I think the two of things

89
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: fascinating because we all universally agree watching him lay on

90
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: the ground as a human being is very, very difficult,

91
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: and the fencing with his arms that has now happened

92
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: several times, it is a gut check moment. You feel

93
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: for the human being. You feel like it's really really

94
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: hard to watch. And my initial take when it happened

95
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: was I wasn't going to grandstand. And it's the most

96
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: predictable thing ever when that happened that everybody universally said

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: to retire. And I don't think they're really making it up,

98
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: but it was very predictable. And it's pretty clear that

99
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL, most guys are twenty

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: six years old, don't quit easy and all reports. Now,

101
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll see him talk, because when

102
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: you're on IR you are not obligated to talk like

103
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: you are as a starting quarterback. The head coach will

104
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: and other players will, but we'll see, if you know.

105
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: Tua gets behind a mic over the next couple of

106
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: weeks and says how he truly feels, but all reports

107
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: as he does not plan him to retire, which is

108
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: the least shocking thing to me though, like if he retired,

109
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame the guy if you ask me, like

110
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: what should you do? And I look today, he's made

111
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: seventy three million dollars. That counts his rookie contract, which

112
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: was all guaranteed as the number five pick, and then

113
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: the signing bonus that he made from this new deal,

114
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: which is paid over a period of time. But he's

115
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: already received over forty million dollars. So as of today,

116
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: he's made seventy three million dollars. And I think the

117
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: media does a really poor job of this when they

118
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: talk generational wealth, like where I come from many three

119
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: million dollars, especially when you factor in Florida and no

120
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: state income tax. That is generational wealth. And tuaus with

121
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: a top agency, he's with high level financial guys. I'm

122
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: sure they have him well invested. That is setting up

123
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: family members, your wife, your kids for life. So he's

124
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: made generational wealth. But give or take, if he were

125
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: to retire, the guarantees on the contract could become problematic

126
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: for him to receive. And historically teams you know, have

127
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: battled that when it comes to retirements, guys have had

128
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: to pay money back and not receive money coming. And

129
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: for the money that he has still owed just on

130
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: the guaranteed. My math could be off a little bit,

131
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: but it's like one hundred and twenty one hundred and

132
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars. So it's very very easy for

133
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: everyone to say quit, don't do this, and I don't

134
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: blame people for saying that, but I don't know if

135
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: that's realistic. And the moment that happened, I didn't think

136
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: the next day he's like, I'm done, even though you

137
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: know you saw Antonio Pierce, which I thought was very

138
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: genuine former player at a really high level, said if

139
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: I was talking to him, I would recommend stop playing.

140
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: But I also think perspective in the way you look

141
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: at life, like I'm thirty nine years old, I look

142
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: at life I'm a completely different human than I was

143
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: at twenty six years old. Sometimes I think back when

144
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: I see memories come up on social media to high

145
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: school or college, Like, I don't even know if I

146
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: would be able to relate to the person I was

147
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: at that age, let alone twenty six. Honestly, thirty years old. Hell,

148
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm dramatically different I feel than when I was thirty

149
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: five years old. And I'm not talking morals. I'm not

150
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: talking you know, your core values as a human being.

151
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the way you look at life.

152
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: As you age, you should change. So it's very easy

153
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: for older people to have an opinion that they have

154
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: on this situation. It's twenty six years old. The other

155
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: thing is like seventy three million dollars, Like I said,

156
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: game changing money. Think about successful people. You know, if

157
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: you've ever been around these type people that started the

158
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: company and maybe sold one. I've known a couple of people,

159
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: family friends growing up that sold it for like twenty

160
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. It's like they hit the fucking jackpot.

161
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: They made their kids partners, everyone got rich. So we're

162
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: talking ten twenty million dollars. That's in California, So You're

163
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: talking in the state of Florida with how much money

164
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: he's made, like it's a lot, but there's still a

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: lot coming. And I'm not saying the only reason he

166
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: would come back is simply for the money, but that

167
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: has to factor in, Like, this is America, and the

168
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: reason these guys play football is because it's a business

169
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of money to be made, and

170
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: it complicates the situation. Now my TA. Last week when

171
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: it happened, I thought, like, the Dolphins can do whatever

172
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: they want, Tua can do whatever they want, but there's

173
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: no way on God's green Earth that come Thursday or Wednesday,

174
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: they can just beck oh, he's cleared from protocol. The

175
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: league was gonna get involved, and I'm not saying that

176
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: they did. Maybe it was just an easy one. The

177
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: neurologist said like, hey, we just need a couple of

178
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: weeks before we can even assess this. But this was

179
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: an easy move for everyone involved. Put him on injury reserve,

180
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: take a deep breath. But what happens after four weeks?

181
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: What happens if the neurologist I saw a video go

182
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: viral of Steve Young talking to Dan Patrick, and he said,

183
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard for me to relate to some

184
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: people with concussions because mine it wasn't like a week later,

185
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember my wife's name, or what street I

186
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: lived on, or what plays we called. I would get

187
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 1: a concussion, and really by the by lunchtime the next day,

188
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: I felt completely fine and it didn't impact my memory.

189
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: So he's like, I can't relate when some of these

190
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: people and even some of these former players come up

191
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: to me and ask these questions like that didn't happen

192
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: to me. So and he's like, the reality with these neurologists,

193
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 1: and this is the way with most doctors in situations

194
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: where there's not like a concrete answer, it's like, well,

195
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: I would recommend I think this is the best course

196
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: of action. But it's not like, hey, my dad had

197
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer. If you don't attempt to get some treatment

198
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: on this immediately, you're going to die. It's black and white.

199
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: It ain't going away. As Steve Young said, the brain

200
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: is like really the last frontier of medicine that there

201
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: are still a ton of questions on and I would

202
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: just expect to not simply for the money, but that

203
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: has to play a big factor, he's twenty six years

204
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: old to not retire or not want to retire. And

205
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: I think this is where the league and the Dolphins,

206
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: they're all going to be put in precarious situations because

207
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the contract. It feels dirty talking about Mike Florio wrote

208
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: about it, and he's like, simply because the contract's so big,

209
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: this is gonna have to be a discussion because if

210
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: he is cleared then and he wants to play, like

211
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: he's do that cash. So if they're not allowing him

212
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: to play, how that works, like they gotta pay him.

213
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: And if they just say, Okay, he wants to play,

214
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: he's technically cleared, and throw him out and this happens again,

215
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an awful look because we all see

216
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: it coming. It feels inevitable for it to happen again because,

217
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: let's face it, that hit, I don't want to say

218
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: it was like innocuous, like barely happened, but it was

219
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: how often do you see that level tackle against running

220
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: backs and wide receivers throughout a Sunday every other play.

221
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't some huge ray Lewis Dick, butkiss decletion Jalen

222
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: Hirts was taking bigger collisions last night. And I don't

223
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: pretend to be some medical expert here, but it's pretty

224
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: clear the first concussion you have, the more susceptible you

225
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: are to the next one and the next one, and

226
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: it grows and grows. Now, I think there's a numbness

227
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: with us the football that this is gonna sound. I

228
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: don't know, insensitive, I don't. I don't know if the

229
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: casual fan cares that much, like they don't want to

230
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: see anyone playing there like that, But like, it's not

231
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna affect the way we watch football. It's not going

232
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: to affect the way we discuss football. The Chiefs Bengal

233
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: game Sunday afternoon. Now, they the way that they count

234
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: the amount of people that watch has changed over time

235
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: because they count bars and restaurants now to twenty eight

236
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: million people watching. So it's gonna be fascinating to watch

237
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: this play out. And I would expect the league to

238
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: be very, very active. But owners didn't get rich randomly.

239
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, this is gonna be a situation like, well,

240
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna pay them one hundred and twenty more

241
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: million dollars and he's clear to play, I would imagine

242
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins like let him play. They did it before,

243
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they do it again? Justin Fields at two

244
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: and oh and he's played pretty well. I think he's

245
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: looked better than he did in Chicago. He made a

246
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: couple of really good throws last week that were called back.

247
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: One throw to Pickens might be one of the best

248
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: throws he's ever made. It as a pro was called

249
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: back on a holding play. It was great, rolled right,

250
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: hit him in stride. Pickens did a sweet little dance.

251
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: Then he looked realized there's a flag. I think he's

252
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: got a little wiggle room now. Like coming into this season,

253
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: I thought no one was on a scholarship. Russell was

254
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: not gonna get a long leash. Fields would not have

255
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: a long leash if he came in after like he

256
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: can mix a match. They're paying both guys a total

257
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: of like two and a half million dollars, paying him nothing.

258
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Maybe they're actually paying Fields a little more because they

259
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: traded for the contract. But relative to other quarterbacks, their

260
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: quarterback room with these two guys is nothing because Denver's

261
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: paying the freight on Russell Wilson. Once you start two

262
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: and oh, though, and you have been managed the game

263
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: pretty well, he's getting more than one bad game before

264
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: they're going to Russell Wilson. Now, is he getting three?

265
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: Probably not. But they get the Chargers this week at home.

266
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a pretty good matchup that's got fifteen

267
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: thirteen written all over it. Let's just say they win

268
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: that game and he plays exactly like he has the

269
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: first couple weeks, defense dominates, They get some field goals,

270
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: maybe they score one touchdown. He just plays under control,

271
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: doesn't throw for more than one hundred and fifty yards,

272
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: but doesn't turn the ball over, makes a couple plays

273
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: with his legs. You start three and zero, like I think,

274
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: his leash only grows again. You build momentum with the

275
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: guys you're playing with. You bring an athletic ability that

276
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: at this point in time, Russell just does not. You

277
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: have no problem throwing the ball down the field. The

278
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: knock on Justin Well, he doesn't really work the middle

279
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: of the field. Well neither does Russell Wilson. So I

280
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: would say justin fields unless the wheels just fall off

281
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: over like a three weeks span, is going to be

282
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers quarterback for the foreseeable future. And they get

283
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Chargers at home, this week, which is just gonna be

284
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: an old school slugged out game. Then they go to Indy,

285
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Then they play the Cowboys on Sunday Night. Now, games

286
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: on primetime television just have more eyeballs on them because

287
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: there's no distractions. Right, you play Thursday night, Sunday night,

288
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: or Monday night, you're not competing against the rest of

289
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: the slate. So that game, especially against the Cowboys, going

290
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: to be under a microscope. But let's just say they

291
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: go one to one over these next two games, there'll

292
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: be three to one going into that game. I do

293
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: think there's a probably a coin flip chance that if

294
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: they beat the Chargers at home at Indy, is not

295
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: a good matchup for Anthony Richardson against that defense. Do

296
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: not like that one at all? What is there four

297
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: and oh going into that game? Even if he plays

298
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: like shit and they lose, OK, four to one, you

299
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: have a three game cushion on even being five hundred

300
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about. The Steelers is a couple of wins

301
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: away from being like a borderline lock playoff team. So Fields,

302
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's made the most of

303
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: his opportunity because he hasn't done that. Much, but he's

304
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: done everything he's needed to do, and the more confidence

305
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: he gets with the head man, Russell Wilson's going to

306
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: be a forty million dollar on the Denver Broncos accounting sheet.

307
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Backup saw a stat today that none of the rookie

308
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have thrown a touchdown. We've only played two games,

309
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: but clearly it hasn't gone well. Bo Nicks has been abysmal,

310
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has really struggled for the hype, and Jade

311
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Daniels kind of right now is just a runner, which

312
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: he's good at, but he's got to learn the slider.

313
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna get killed. But the hype on these guys

314
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: for what we've seen, let's let's face it has been

315
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: a little underwhelming. But all these teams were in tough

316
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: spots right Washington, their roster sucked. They had the number

317
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: two overall pick, Like, it's not like you get three

318
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: first rounders. It is what it is. You take quarterbacks,

319
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: not like you get to pick other players. Same thing

320
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: with the Broncos. They had a limited amount of draft

321
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: capital because of the moves that they have made over

322
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: the years, and they picked bow Knicks and their team's

323
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: not that good. But the Bears were in a unique situation.

324
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: They had two top ten picks. Obviously, you take Caleb

325
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: every day the week and twice on Sundays, like that's

326
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: the right pick. But they had the ninth pick, and

327
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: it was pretty fascinating the discourse between who they were

328
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: gonna take. Should they take a defensive lineman, should they

329
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: take one of the wide receivers. It doesn't feel like

330
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 1: there was that much talk about an offensive lineman. And

331
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I go back and I think about Jim Harbaugh, who

332
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: last year. Leading up to the end of the season,

333
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: it was pretty clear Jim Harball wanted to come back

334
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Right was inevitable, Jim Harbaugh was going

335
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: to be an NFL coach, and it was like, should

336
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: the Bear just, I don't know, fire Ebra flues and

337
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: hired Jim Harball. Now, clearly that came and went. Jim

338
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's now with the Chargers. But then there was a

339
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: lot of talk leading up to the draft, would Jim

340
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: Harbaugh take Malik Neighbors or Marvin Harrison? And then he

341
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: drafts Joe Walt and says in the press conference on

342
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Thursday night, we were never going to take anyone else

343
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: but Joe Walt, and we view the offensive lineman at

344
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: the as the tip of the spear. We view them

345
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: as offensive weapons. And through the two weeks, what's going on?

346
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Pretty sure? JK. Dobbins is leading the NFL in rushing

347
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: and they are pounding people. Why that's what Jim harbaughd does?

348
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: Why makes it easy on the quarterback? I love Romadoon

349
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: Day was a stud in college. I think he's going

350
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: to be a stud in the NFL. Everyone that interviewed

351
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: him and scouted him, high character, guy, leader, He's a badass.

352
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: I'd want him on my team every day of the

353
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: week and twice on Sundays. But after watching that game

354
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans where Caleb Williams was absolutely getting destroyed,

355
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: and let's face it, there are some question marks with

356
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: the Bears. If Jim Harbaugh had in some other world

357
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: then the head coach of the Bears in this draft

358
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: and they take Caleb Williams number one, who do you

359
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: think they take it nine? I know who they don't

360
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: take and that's roma. Dudes say, Now, what offensive lineman

361
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: he liked the most after J. C. Latham and Joe Walt,

362
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know have his draft board,

363
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: but he would have taken an offensive lineman. And I

364
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: stopped Baldinger today tweet out as he does these videos

365
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: of guys that are having a lot of success, like

366
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: the All twenty two tape and fu Waga, the first

367
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: round pick by the Saints from Morgan State, was a

368
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: super high end prospect. He was a guy I would

369
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: say pretty universally viewed as a top fifteen pick. He's

370
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: their starting left tackle, but he can play guard. He

371
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: can probably play all five positions. He's I don't know

372
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: if he's ever gonna be Trent Williams, like super All star.

373
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the talk before the draft, but

374
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: he was viewed as like this guy's not gonna suck,

375
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: and he's been awesome through two weeks, and I wonder

376
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: if the Bears could get a do over, they just

377
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: would have taken him because could have played him at

378
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: left tackle, you could have played him at left guard.

379
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: You just probably should have taken an offensive lineman. And

380
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: they feel good about Rome, I'm sure, but I think

381
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: football is shown as something when you get an opportunity

382
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: to take a high end offensive lineman, like it was

383
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: a luxury because of the trade to have the two

384
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: picks in the top ten. And I think, looking back,

385
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: it's just a mistake. And I think Harbaugh's onto something.

386
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: You can never have enough good offensive lineman. Look at

387
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: the two look at the game on Monday night. Those

388
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: two teams have really good offensive lines. Why they've invested

389
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot of capital in that position because it matters.

390
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: I watch way too much forty nine ers and focusing

391
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: on their offensive line. And Kyle's philosophy is we will

392
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: take skilled guys over offensive linemen. And I don't know,

393
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: man like I hear it when we're talking a center,

394
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: But when you get a guy that can play right

395
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: or left tackle, I would take that guy every day

396
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: of the week over a wide receiver because I can

397
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: find a wide receiver later. It is hard to find

398
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: tackles outside of the top couple rounds, and even when

399
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: you do, you see Andy Reid like there's a lot

400
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: of growing pains. They're starting a left tackle who they

401
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: drafted the end of the second round and it's gonna

402
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: be a long season for him. Now, over the course

403
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: of his career, maybe he develops into a Pro Bowl

404
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: level player, but he's gonna get his lunch taken a

405
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: lot this season, but investing the offensive line, they will

406
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: not regret it in two or three years. If that

407
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: guy's a high end player, it's the right pick before

408
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: we dive into college football. Brian Flores, who is just

409
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: I think when you factor in that Dimiko's a head coach,

410
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: uh Fangio might be losing his fastball. I'm trying to

411
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: think of other high end Sola. Definitely it's not even

412
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: a DC as the head coach, but that Brian Floor

413
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: is the best defensive coordinator in the league. And if

414
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: what he's doing on defense was on offense, we would

415
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: be discussing him like Quint kobiek or Andy Reider, Kyle Shanahan,

416
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: like you get a lot more Brownie points on offense

417
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: than you do on defense. But Brian Floor is elite.

418
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: And after the Niner game, Perty went up to him

419
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: and was like, your scheme's crazy, man, I had no

420
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: clue where anything was coming from. And Flora's kind of

421
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: this old school hard ass barely even acknowledged him, just

422
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: walked right off. And even Kyle was mentioning it today

423
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: in his conference call. Maybe it was Monday, how awesome

424
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: that scheme is because of all the different exotic stuff

425
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: he can run. Gets back to the Belichick days. They

426
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: don't have a scheme. They can do everything. It's like

427
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: he just plays out. No, they can play Man two.

428
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: They'll blitz all the time. Well, if that's not working,

429
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: they won't blitz like Vic Fangil. What's the knock on him?

430
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: Never blitzes. He just won't blitz. It's like, I'm not

431
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: a huge believer. Like, and it's really difficult to do

432
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: what Bill does because most people can't learn all this stuff,

433
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: Like it's a lot to handle. It's like, what's your scheme? Hey,

434
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: we don't really have one. We just do whatever we

435
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: have to do against that specific offense. I do wonder

436
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: because Brian Flora is from a football standpoint, you're not

437
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna schematics on the field debate how elite of an

438
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: assistant coach he is. Like when the dust settles at

439
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: the end of the year offense defense, he'll be a

440
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: top three or four coordinator. And there's a chance if

441
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota's just good this year, you could argue, we'll see

442
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: how if Clint Kubiak can keep this up, Like he's

443
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: the best coordinator offense or defense non head coach in

444
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: the NFL. I do think it's gonna be hard to

445
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: shake that to a thing because like, yeah, okay, you're

446
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: a great defensive coordinator. You get the defense rolling that

447
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: happened in Miami. Their defense was good. If I was

448
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: a GM or I was an owner, it's like, can

449
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: this guy deal with quarterbacks? And I don't think he's

450
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able to answer that question. And that's gonna

451
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: be something that's gonna be really hard to overcome because listen,

452
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: it's too awarth the contract they gave him. I never

453
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: believe that from the start, but once he's on your team,

454
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: your success is tied to that position, and as the

455
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: head coach, you have to change that mentality from this

456
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: hard ass defensive guy to like, I need this guy

457
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: to succeed in my job. This guy's gonna be the

458
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: highest paid guy in the organization. We just used a

459
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: fifth overall pick on this player. I gotta be able

460
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: to communicate with him. I gotta be able to have

461
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: a close relationship with him. Doesn't mean I can't coach

462
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: him hard, doesn't mean I have to go to dinner

463
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: with him three times a week. But like our relationship,

464
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: our success is incumbent on this player. Like the reason

465
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings are winning. Obviously their defense is good with Flores,

466
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: it's because fucking Sam Darnold. If you just gave him

467
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: Will Levis, they'd be going too. So like the quarterback,

468
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: And why does Kevin O'Connell get so much credit and

469
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: held to such highest team? He can deal with quarterbacks.

470
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: So Flores is a badass defensive coordinator. He's elite. But

471
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: when we talk about being a head coach, because his

472
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: name's gonna come up as this season goes, if they

473
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: keep having success, it's hard for me to shake that

474
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: situation when you can't deal with by far the most

475
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: important player on the team. Okay cough. On campus, which

476
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine being on as a student because I

477
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: don't know how much more you'd have to pay me

478
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: to attend a class. I can't imagine doing homework taking tests.

479
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: So props to everyone that's in school right now that

480
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: is doing homework and takeing tests, because that's hard. Number

481
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: one cop on campus. We got a sweet game this week,

482
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: like an incredible game on paper. Oklahoma Tennessee. Now Oklahoma,

483
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: they're in the top fifteen but they got a lot

484
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: of injuries. They have not been that great this season,

485
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: but they're playing in Norman, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Looks like

486
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: could they be a sleeper national champion team. They just

487
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: played Kent State beat them like seven hundred to nothing.

488
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: But to me, the cool part about this game, Bob

489
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: Stoops put out a tweet at the beginning of the

490
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: week that said, I will not be doing any interviews.

491
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Well, Venables, the coach at Oklahoma,

492
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: was his assistant for thirteen years. Josh Hipel was the

493
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Oklahoma team that won Bob Stoops the

494
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: national championship and then became a coach and later became

495
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator who Bob Stoops ended up firing, and

496
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: he kind of fired Venables too. Slash pushed him out

497
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: when he made his brother after Mike Stoops was fired

498
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: from Arizona where Nick Foles was playing and came back

499
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma. So they have this weird connected tissue here

500
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: of all these coaches and Josh Hipel, who you get

501
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: some different reviews from scouting buddies that have gone through

502
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: his programs over the year. Big chip on his shoulder,

503
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: Guy now he was a lowly recruited guy who really

504
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: only Mike Leech believed in, who went on to become

505
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: a national championship college quarterback and become a really really

506
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: good college coach, has a potential to become one of

507
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: maybe a top five coach if Tennessee this year is

508
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: like in the Final four. But we finally are getting

509
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: these Oklahoma and Texas SEC games and it's gonna be

510
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: really fun. And this game the hype between Venables and

511
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Josh Heipel for years in practice as the OC and

512
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: the DC in the two thousands and early twenty tens

513
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: went against each other every day in practice. I can't

514
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: imagine how much time these two humans have spent together

515
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: in staff meetings, in staff recruiting trips, just around each

516
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: other on the field workouts. Like these guys know each

517
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: other really, really well. And it's all connected with Bob,

518
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: who is like the spokesman for the university. So very

519
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: very excited for this game on Saturday. Well, arch Manning

520
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: ever give back his starting spot. Quinn Ewers just randomly

521
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: gets injured. It was a non contact injury against I

522
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: think they were playing UTSA. I was not even playing

523
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: on watching the game, and then I see on the

524
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: internet Arch Banning's in the game, so I immediately turn

525
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: on the game. Now, let me say this, the game

526
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: against Michigan, whether you were in on Quinn viewers or not,

527
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: you could not watch that game and not say they

528
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: can win a national championship with this player. And he's

529
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: clearly a high end NFL prospect. So he's really good.

530
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: Like I watched him last year, I wasn't sold as

531
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: some top ten pick, as some guy that just was

532
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: some lock. You could win the Natty with the guy

533
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: that he had become this year. I'm not saying he

534
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: didn't have moments, but that game at Michigan, I was

535
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: like I'm in from a consumer standpoint, from a fan

536
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: basis standpoint, from a national standpoint, it's a tough spot

537
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: for Quinn Eewers because no one wants to see him

538
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: play when that's his backup. If his backup was Arch

539
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: middlef it would not be the same. Hey, it's the

540
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: number one overall recruit. He's getting paid a bunch of nil.

541
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: It'd be like, when Quinn is ready, go back to him,

542
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: but what do you do? They don't know how long

543
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss. But let's just say he misses the

544
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: next two games they play, I think Louisiana in row

545
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: and then Mississippi State, which they'll probably blow both those

546
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: two teams out. What if he's ready to go heading

547
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: into the Oklahoma game, because they go back to back

548
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and then Georgia, and even if Texas is a

549
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: lot better than Oklahoma, that's I mean, that's why you

550
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: play at Texas to play in that game. How do

551
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: you bench that player? And Arch is gonna say all

552
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: the right things, he would gladly go back, But I

553
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: think this is a tough spot for Sark. And at

554
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: this point, if Arch is rolling and Quinn's like, yeah,

555
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: he could go this week, I wonder what happens. I

556
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: really do, because this is not a position where it's

557
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: not like Quinn was going to come back to school

558
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: after this year. He's gone, so I do think that

559
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: makes the decision easier. And I think if Arch is

560
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: running around throwing a bunch of touchdowns and they just

561
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: look exactly like they've done with Quinn, I'd be a

562
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: little stunned if they went back to him. And the

563
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: shitty part for Quinn, who looked like he was about

564
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: to have a massive season become like the probably win

565
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. I don't think anyone wants to see

566
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: him again Florida State. Did we jinx Florida State? I

567
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: think that is the question we had on my guy

568
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: Derrick Ray, who is the GM. They had just gone

569
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: thirteen to one. They have not won a game, They

570
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: have not won a game, and they have looked terrible.

571
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: And the problem for them is they play Cal this week,

572
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: callous three and zero. Their superstar running back, who's a

573
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: top fifty pick if he's healthy, has been banged up,

574
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: barely played, but their quarterback has been off. As of today,

575
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: Cal is better than Florida State if you go zero

576
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: to four. Even if Cal is better than you, like

577
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: they've already lost to worse teams than Cal. But if

578
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: you lose this team from Berkeley with a lot of

579
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: weird shit going on, and they roll into Tallahassee and

580
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: beat you and kind of beat your ass, which is

581
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: very possible, like shove you around by ten plus points,

582
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: things are gonna get weird, and they're gonna get weird fast.

583
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: There Now, Mike Norvell has buyouts like sixty five million dollars.

584
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: He doesn't deserve, even with a terrible season to get fired.

585
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: College football is crazy, man, it really is. It's what

586
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: have you done for me lately? And he rightfully so

587
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: is going to take a lot of shift for DJ,

588
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: because DJ, he doesn't even look like a Division one starter,

589
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: not even remotely close. He's he's one of the worst

590
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: players I've watched this season at quarterback college football. He's

591
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: like unplayable. You can't you can't function with the guy,

592
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: so you lose the cow. Things are clearly already weird.

593
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: It starts getting really weird really fast. This is just

594
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: an awesome game, even if Michigan is down and they

595
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: just started Orgy the quarterback who can't really throw but

596
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: he can run, and USC we don't know quite how

597
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: good they are, but USC Michigan. This is why. And

598
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: my fifth one is the conference re alignment. They kind

599
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: of tie into each other. I miss the Pac twelve.

600
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: It sucks. Texting with my cousin who played at Fresno State,

601
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: we were texting a lot about like, how anti climatic

602
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: is it that Fresno State finally gets invited to the

603
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: Pac twelve where they've been dying to get in for

604
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: thirty years? And it feels like a shittier deal than

605
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: just staying in the Mountain West. Because you can call

606
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: I could call this podcast Apple Incorporated or Nike. I'm

607
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: not Nike. You can call it the PAC twelve. But

608
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: the moment USC and UCLA left it died, it's over.

609
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: You don't have a valuable property. No one cares about

610
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: Corvallis and Pullman, Washington in terms of like the networks

611
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: aren't lining up to give you more money. Your value

612
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: is your value, and it's not very high. The value

613
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: of the PAC twelve was in USC, was in UCLA,

614
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: was in Oregon, was in Washington. They don't exist. Salt

615
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: Lake City's in the Big twelve, Colorado's in the Big twelve.

616
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: The Arizona schools are never coming back. You're done. It's over,

617
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: and it's it's sad. It makes me sad still, but

618
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: it happened, and I got to embrace it. So you

619
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: get USC Michigan. I'm not like some SEC guy because

620
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: I grew up on the West coast, but like Texas

621
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: Georgia being a conference game is pretty cool, Oklahoma Tennessee

622
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: being a conference game is pretty cool. And USC Michigan,

623
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: even if it's not the Harbaugh led national champions. It's

624
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: not the same. That's sweet, and it doesn't feel normal.

625
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't like Oregon playing Ohio State and saying that's

626
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: a conference game is weird. It just is. UCLA playing

627
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: Rutgers as a conference game is weird. But you just

628
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: got to embrace it. There's one school watching Arizona Kansas

629
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: State last week, it was like, you know what Arizona does,

630
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: feels like a Big twelve school. They really do. They

631
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: are probably the lone school that has made this transition.

632
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: You're like, that completely fits. You can say Colorado because

633
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: they used to be in the conference, but like they've

634
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: been in the Back twelve for a while now. I've

635
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: gotten used to seeing Colorado play Oregon, Washington State, cal

636
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: like those games. Like I kind of got used to it.

637
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: I forget when I was a kid in Colorado is

638
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: playing the text A and M's and Nebraska's right, So

639
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: like my mind, like to me, Arizona they feel right

640
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: at home in the Big twelve. USC Michigan feels a

641
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: little weird as a conference game. Oklahoma, Georgia or Texas

642
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: Florida as a conference game, like that's a little weird.

643
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: It just is. But we're now in the conference play

644
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get a lot of these. You know,

645
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be part of our weekly Saturdays where

646
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: it's like Nebraska's playing Washington for a conference game, Like, Yeah,

647
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what happens. That's where we're at. So let's

648
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Day mailbag at John Middlecoff Instagram. Fire into

649
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: those dms. Just my name, DM's wide open. We'll start

650
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: with Cole thought for the bag. I was listening to

651
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: your recap of the Falcons and the Eagles, and I

652
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: think even more damning part about Sirianni going for it

653
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: on fourth down when it was zero zero that he

654
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: was not consistent. If that is your philosophy, how do

655
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: you not then also go for it again the next

656
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: time when it's fourth and three on the Atlanta six.

657
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: This situation in particular felt like the Eagles had going

658
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: for it written all over them. He kicked it. If

659
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: going for it is your philosophy, go for it after

660
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: the Saque drop to end the game right there, or

661
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: leave Kirk backed up to his goal line. Sure, it's

662
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: a three point game if you don't convert. But the

663
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: Falcons only needing a field goal wouldn't have been as

664
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: aggressive as they were down six. He kicked again, kick

665
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: all three times or go for it all three times,

666
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: and at the least it shows consistent philosophy and strategy.

667
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: There's no rhyme or reason. Well, I think there are

668
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things there. Why he goes for it

669
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: when they're down nine to seven because the game's playing out,

670
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: so you realize this is not going to be some

671
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty seven shootout. This is going to be

672
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: a low scoring, defensive game. So the three points, as

673
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: we talked about right after the game, are vital. You

674
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: don't know that when the game is zero zero. But

675
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: to me, the unknown is why you take the points,

676
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: because you have no clue how the game is going

677
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: to play out. In regardless, three points do matter take

678
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: an early lead, but I think it's much easier when

679
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: the game is established himself for him to pivot from

680
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: the situation where they are inclined to go for it always,

681
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: but go, hey, fifteen points might win this game. So

682
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: if I take three here, that's a big deal. And

683
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: he was right, it was a big deal. I think,

684
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: looking back at the situation, at the end of the game.

685
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: Then if you run the ball on third and three

686
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: instead of throwing it to saque Had, I think the

687
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: previous play just ran for three yards. So if you

688
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: run for let's say you don't even get the first down,

689
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: but you run for two yards, well you do two things. One,

690
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: you keep the clock going, but you also put yourself

691
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: in the most advantageous possible of any NFL team because

692
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: you have the tush push. So they would have just

693
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: gone for it there with the tushbush, it's like a

694
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: ninety percent hit rate, get a first down the game ends.

695
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: So I think Sirianni's all over the map. It's like

696
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: he wants to stick with the analytics, but he's also

697
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: got the gut feels. And then you find yourself in

698
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: no man's land, cause it's not really if you ask me,

699
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: like what his philosophy is, I don't know. He feels

700
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: like a politician just changes his fucking tune all the time.

701
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: Newer listener love the addition to my leak weekly rotation

702
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: of pods. Central Valley Native wondering how can Fresno State

703
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: football become a powerhouse and shake off its Mountain West

704
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: stereotypes top tier coaching hire crazy boosters and then il

705
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: the support here is crazy and wand your opinion, there

706
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: is no shot. A school like Fresno State can't put

707
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: any more resources given its situation, right them, Boise State,

708
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Appalachian State was that way for a long time. They

709
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: can't compete. I know a lot, I know the head coach,

710
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people in the program and

711
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: around the program. They're paying Their top paid player makes

712
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty grand. They just have no shot

713
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: to compete. You're not gonna be able to keep players there.

714
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: Why would you want to play in the Mountain West

715
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: if you become a star and then people from the

716
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: Big Ten or the SEC call it happened two years

717
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: ago where their best player went to Oregon in the

718
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: transfer portal and no one even blamed him because like

719
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: his brother was there. But still it kind of is

720
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: what it is now. I think big picture as college

721
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: football even shrinks in the sense of if we just

722
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: go to two conferences. The Big Ten in the SEC

723
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: just morphed into the AFC NFC. What happens to the

724
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: Fresno States In Washington States and Boise States of the world.

725
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: You can be called yourself the Pac Twelve, the Mountain West.

726
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna feel like the minor leagues compared to those games. Now.

727
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: If they still play those teams in the non conference,

728
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. I love Fresno State. Fresno State

729
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: football is a huge reason why I'm sitting here right now,

730
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's anything they can do. I

731
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: live out in Kansas and I love to play golf

732
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: and watch football. Brent, you sound like my type. Guy.

733
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm a big Chiefs fan and agreed with your instant

734
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: reaction after the Ravens. I feel like this could be

735
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: the best team we've had. One week later, I'm a

736
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: bit worried because it does feel like we got out

737
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 1: played and our O line got worked, specifically the left tackle.

738
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: Are the Bengal just a bad matchup for the Chiefs

739
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: or why wouldn't every team we play do the same

740
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: things the Bengals just did well. They're definitely a bad matchup.

741
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: No team plays you better in the regular and the

742
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: postseason is them? Right? Like, you don't look at the

743
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: Ravens as equals. How could you even the Bills can

744
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: beat you in the regular season. You're now very like

745
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: you are not. Not that you wouldn't be worried in

746
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: a playoff game, but you'd be confident you're winning. This

747
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: is the one game that just feels like they're mirror

748
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: images of each other when they play. Now, what's weird

749
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: is how can the Bengals look that good against the

750
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs and that shitty against the Patriots. But that's neither

751
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: here nor there. When you start a rookie, and Andy

752
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have started him if he wasn't their best option.

753
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: And they invested a second round picking him, they believe

754
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: in him. And starting a rookie is not about week two,

755
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: it's about the next ten years, right, you think the

756
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: guy is going to be a ten year starter for you.

757
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: I saw he had a comment today that sometimes you

758
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: have to take a step backwards before you take a

759
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: step forwards. Unless you're Randy Moss. There is a small, small,

760
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: small percentage of rookies, even guys that are Hall of famers,

761
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers, that aren't gonna have some bumps in the

762
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: road and playing left tackle or just playing you can

763
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: pleae a right tackle too. As a rookie has to

764
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: be I would say, right up there with playing quarterback,

765
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: as a rookie because most weeks you are going to

766
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: get Aiden Hutchinson, Max Crosby, TJ. Watt, Nick Bosa. Like

767
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: there are no left and right sides. These defensive linemen

768
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: move wherever you are. They will hunch you down. Aaron Donald,

769
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: if your weak player was a tackle like, they would

770
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: put him over there. He was a deep. He was

771
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: like a three technique. We saw Chris Jones doing that

772
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,959
Speaker 1: week one. He's like, shit, I'll play over the right tackle.

773
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: I'll play over the center, play wherever he wants, wherever

774
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: the mark is. And when you are a rookie, you

775
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: are the person circled by the defensive coordinator and their

776
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: best players. Think about what happened Monday night. Mitchell, the

777
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: first round pick from Toledo, who I would bet on

778
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: becoming a really really good player, who toy kirk Cousins

779
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: attack on that final drive. He went left three straight times,

780
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: I guess two straight times for big plays against him.

781
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: One time he bit on the flat route and the

782
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: other time they just attacked him with Mooney on an

783
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: out route and he kind of juped him out. Even

784
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: though Darius Slay is probably not as physically gifted at

785
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: this point in time as the rookie. But you just

786
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: put the rookie in uncompromising situations, so he's gonna have

787
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: rough moments. There is no circumventing that you can't get

788
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: away from it. Like this week you play the Falcons, Well,

789
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: I know Judon was over the right tackle, but why

790
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't you line Judon sometimes over the rookie when you

791
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: play the Raiders. Where do you think Crosby's gonna line up?

792
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: When you play the forty nine ers, like you think

793
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: they were gonna put in Nick Bosa, You're just gonna Harbaugh.

794
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: He's just gonna be relentless with Mac and Bosa over

795
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: the guy. There's nothing you can do, dude, there's no

796
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: way to get You can give him help, but like

797
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: he just kind of got to work through it. And

798
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: this is your greatest benefit as the Chiefs fan. Is

799
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks a fucking magician one. He can get the

800
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands when he needs to, and

801
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: he can just make things happen. But he's gonna take

802
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: some sacks because of this player. A lot was made

803
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 1: of Kyle Pitts and his potential in the fantasy football

804
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: community and among Atlanta Falcons fans. Everyone's always blaming the

805
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: coaches the schemes for underutilizing the player. Well, now the

806
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,959
Speaker 1: quote unquote bad man Arthur Smith is gone and there's

807
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: a new coaching crew in town, and pitt still doesn't

808
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 1: put up numbers anywhere near to what he's projected coming

809
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: out of college. I heard multiple high level football analysts

810
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: say he was literally a can't miss prospect. So what

811
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: do you think it is? Is he just a bust

812
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: or is he underutilized? I'd be lying if I said

813
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: I've like studied him on all twenty two. I would

814
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: have to text some people in the league who have,

815
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: like really really studied them. There have been a lot

816
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: of players like Kyle Pitts at a lot of different

817
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: positions that were viewed as can't miss players and aren't

818
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: as good in the NFL. Like he is not alone.

819
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: And I think if this season plays out and he's

820
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: healthy and he doesn't produce that much, it's time to

821
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: look at him like he was overrated. He clearly was

822
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: really really overrated. I think it can be difficult when

823
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: your tight end is a one dimensional player, right and

824
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: he is strictly he the wide receiver, that's all he

825
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: is now. You could argue Travis Kelcey is like that

826
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: as well. He's also matched up with one of the

827
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: greatest play callers in the history of the sport and

828
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: one of the greatest quarterbacks we've ever seen, and they've

829
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: built their offense around him. Where you go, the Falcons

830
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: are not building their offense around this player. What do

831
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons want to do right now? With b John Robinson?

832
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: They want to run the ball? Well, Kyle Pitt's gonna block?

833
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: Probably not. That's not going to be a strength of his.

834
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: So he's a slot receiver, you know. I don't know.

835
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer for you. I do

836
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 1: just wonder if it's more difficult to utilize this player

837
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: in the flow of your offense than fantasy football experts thought,

838
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: because he's such a one trick pony. But you also

839
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: have good wide receivers, you have a running game and

840
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: an offensive line that you want to feature. I don't know.

841
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's clearly the hype does not equal what

842
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: we've witnessed. But I don't have a great answer for you.

843
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: But like I said, he's not alone. It happens to

844
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: a lot of players. You know. This came up last

845
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: night because those two running backs. This is a question,

846
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: do you think that the running backs are becoming more

847
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 1: impactful than in previous years. I think we've talked about

848
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: this on previous episodes. Is you know the running backs

849
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: they got to they became controversial when the teams wouldn't

850
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 1: pay him, wouldn't give them contract extensions. Right, it didn't.

851
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't a media created narrative. It was the team

852
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: did something, and the players and all of us that

853
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: watch and talk about football react to it. But the teams,

854
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: the gms, the owners, the coaches, they did it. They

855
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: started paying guards and centers way more money than running backs.

856
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: And like, would I take Saquon Barkley at twelve or

857
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, Saquon Barkley at twelve million dollars or some

858
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: of these free agent guards that were making nineteen million

859
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: dollars during this free agency, I would take Saquon Barkley

860
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,280
Speaker 1: every day of the week because I would feel pretty

861
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: confident that I could draft and develop a guard. Now

862
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: you could say the same thing at running back. But

863
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: if I had to pay a guard nineteen million dollars,

864
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: who's not a Pro bowler? Or pay a Pro Bowl

865
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: running back. I'm paying the running back. So why has

866
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: it shifted? Well, running backs became a deal, they became

867
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: they went on sale, and some of these other positions

868
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: did not go on sale. D tackles. Christian Wilkins just

869
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: got eighty five million dollars guaranteed. Saquon Barklay got twenty seven.

870
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: So I think the economics of it all shifted. This

871
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: gets back to the Giants conversation of like, you don't

872
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: pay running backs, Well, they're not very expensive, they don't

873
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: cost very much money. They're not like it's just cheap saque.

874
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: His hands are clearly he's not Shady McCoy, he's not

875
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. His hands are a question mark. They're not great,

876
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: they're not bad, but they're just kind of as the

877
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: kids would say, mid. But he is a fantastic player.

878
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: And if I can get that player for twenty seven

879
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: million dollars, it's a no brain. It's the easiest contract

880
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: how he signed in the last like five years. I

881
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: also think when you look around the NFL, there are

882
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: just a lot of good running backs. You know, the

883
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: Colts Packer game was Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor. Last night

884
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: Saquon b John Robinson. You just go to all these games.

885
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 1: It's like a bunch of Thursday night game Breese Hall

886
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: and demandre Stevenson. Like these are all just like really

887
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: really good players. So it's just supplying demand. A lot

888
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: of just good running backs are in the NFL, Like

889
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: guys that are legitimate starters that can run inside, they

890
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: can run outside, most of them catch, most of them

891
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: are three down players. So if I can get that

892
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: guy for ten million dollars a year, it feels like

893
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: a pretty good signing. Then overpaying some of these guards

894
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: and centers. Now, if you have a guy that's like

895
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: a seven time Pro Bowler, Creed Humphrey or Jason kelcey, okay,

896
00:52:54,680 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: if I'm paying Larry Allen, okay, But it's like paying

897
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: some of these guys that are not going to go

898
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl eighteen nineteen million dollars, I'd argue

899
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: we've jumped the shark there. Eagles fan, everyone talks about

900
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: how great and talented Jalen Carter is. I'm not seeing

901
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: at all. Am I missing something? Well? Physically gifted, his

902
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: skill set is elite. He's six ' five, three hundred pounds,

903
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: quick as a cat. But as Belichick would say, like, well,

904
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: can he play and his flash plays in college and

905
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL are still elite, But when you watch

906
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: over the course of a game, you don't feel his presence. Right,

907
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: the best defensive tackles in the NFL. You don't watch

908
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and not feel Chris Jones. You didn't watch

909
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and not feel him JJ Watt when he

910
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 1: was humminged like you feel that player, and you watch

911
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles and you don't feel either of the dudes.

912
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: I saw one of the former Eagles joiner. I wanted

913
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: to say Wally Joyner, but I'm blanking on his first name.

914
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: I think he's in the booth with Merril Reeese called

915
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis a bust. You know, like you invested two

916
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: top fifteen picks in these two players, Like Jordan Davis

917
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: is irrelevant. Now him different like Jalen. When you draft

918
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: Jalen in the top ten, you're expecting him to be

919
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: a double jujitsack guy every single year. Well, I read

920
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,919
Speaker 1: a story today he didn't start the game. Why because

921
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: he was late for something during the week. But what

922
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: was the question on Jalen? How? End of football is

923
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter because you go back to Georgia, it was

924
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: like just a lot of question marks on the guy.

925
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: No one argued the talent, but sometimes when you're focused

926
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 1: as other places, you don't live up to the talent.

927
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis just might not be good enough. Like there

928
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: aren't character concerns with him. He's just really heavy and

929
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: gets really tired and then becomes a relevant in the game.

930
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: Because I think Jimmy Johnson said it, but maybe it

931
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: was it was either like Newt Rockney or Vince Lombardi,

932
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: some famous coach said fatigue makes cowards of us all

933
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: And basically he was just giving a pump up speech

934
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: to Miami like ten years ago. This is way after

935
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: he was done coaching. But just why being in shape

936
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: is such a big deal, because it doesn't matter if

937
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: you're Mike Tyson, if you're Ray Lewis, if you're fucking

938
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, Barry Sanders. If you are tired, like fatigue

939
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: makes cowards of us all, you are not the same player.

940
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: You can't like, you can't function when you're out of

941
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: shape in the NFL, in football in general, like anyone

942
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: that played high school football. If you're sucking win, Like

943
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: you start getting shoved around really quick, but you don't

944
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: have anything. And so to me, Jordan Davis, you're getting

945
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: little to nothing out of him and Jalen Like, they're

946
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: just still question marks with the guy. Obviously the player.

947
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: He had a flash play last night, but they're not.

948
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: They didn't draft him in the top ten for flash plays,

949
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: and you just have to wonder, like, is he ever

950
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: going to live up to the talent? He is talented,

951
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 1: He is really talented. Not playing like it, but it's there.

952
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: But there have been a lot of players like him

953
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: throughout the history of the league, guys that oozed ability

954
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: and because of focus, because of maturity, because of whatever

955
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: off the field, the intangible stuff never lived up to it.

956
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: And sometimes like you just get with the right people.

957
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: There's also a competitive element to this, Like I would say,

958
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: let's use Warren Sap as an example. I think people

959
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: had some question marks with him as a younger player.

960
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: Pretty clear is a competitive sob right, dude was a badass.

961
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: So even if you are a little iffy about just

962
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: your study habits and you're working, how bad do you

963
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: want it? Lawrence Taylor Belichick's been telling these stories for

964
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: thirty years, sleeping coming and hungover, drugged out when that

965
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: game started. Was the craziest dude on the field. His

966
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: competitiveness was elite. How elite is your competitiveness? And that's

967
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: part of scouting. So sometimes average talents become high end

968
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: players because they have elite competitiveness. Will Anderson was a

969
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: guy coming out of college. I think some people question,

970
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: like how talented was he? Was he an elite talent?

971
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: Was he a top five talent? You don't want, no

972
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: one questioned, Not a soul at the program, not a scout,

973
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: not a coach, competitive makeup, So who are you betting

974
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: on Will Anderson that doesn't have the physical gifts? I

975
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: know they don't play the same position, but just let's

976
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: use this example. Whose competitive character, whose competitive makeup, whose

977
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: football care is off the fucking charts, or the guy

978
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: with Hall of Fame talent oozing out of every pore

979
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: in his body. It's like, yeah, sometimes I care, Sometimes

980
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't. Sometimes it's like, yeah, I just I'll get

981
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: off this snap and hold this block and just go

982
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: to the next snap. I think history would show us

983
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: who you bet on. And I think when you bet

984
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: on those guys, sometimes you hit and they become Hall

985
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: of famers, and sometimes they're the worst player to have

986
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: on your team because you hold out hope for so long.

987
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: The Eagles just lost a lot like Fletcher Cox and

988
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: Jason Kelce, a lot of competitive character right there, a

989
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: lot of focus, a lot of like fucking around ain't

990
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: tolerated in practice because what two groups spend the most

991
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: time together, the O and D line, Right when you

992
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: break from individual they usually go together, right, So it's like,

993
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: that's a big loss. And I just think you're seeing

994
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: guys underperform. And I think sometimes and I'm guilty of this,

995
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: we blame coaches, right and I put a lot on

996
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL. But at the end of the day,

997
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: certain humans, like if you can push every button, if

998
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: they're unwilling to do certain things and have the competitive makeup,

999
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: you could argue it doesn't really matter. I know this.

1000
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: The Patriots and now the Chiefs are doing this. Won

1001
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: a lot of games and a lot of Super Bowls

1002
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of guys playing on both sides of

1003
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: the ball that not many people would have said will

1004
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: be starters on the best team in the league when

1005
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: they were in college or around the draft time. But

1006
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: their character, their football intelligence, their intangible makeup is a

1007
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 1: separating factor. And the one thing I learned working in

1008
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: the NFL and now doing this for a long time

1009
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,959
Speaker 1: is that stuff is still underrated. We don't talk about

1010
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: it enough. And I'm just as guilty as anybody. I

1011
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: listen to the show every day, huge, huge Bears fan.

1012
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: Why are the Bears not interested in a guy like

1013
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak. The Vikings have the tall Sean McVay, the

1014
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Packers have Laflor. Why would the Bears not be interested

1015
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: in a young offensive coach? Well, they kept Eberflus, so

1016
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: if you're talking about as a head coach, they decided

1017
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: to roll back with Eberflus. He got his makeover, his hair,

1018
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: his beard, And I don't think the Bears are gonna

1019
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, so they're gonna They're gonna be in

1020
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:01,479
Speaker 1: the coaching right They're gonna be looking for a coach.

1021
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: I think the question mark is going to be will

1022
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: they go with one of these offensive hot shots? And

1023
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine because of the Caleb Williams influence, they

1024
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: will so, Ben Johnson, Clint Kobiak, any other star guy

1025
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: working for O'Connell, McVeigh, Kyle in that world, I would

1026
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: be if you tell me right now, Bears missed the playoffs,

1027
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: iber Flus gets fired, Who do they hire? I think

1028
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: one they do that. Now you could argue, why not

1029
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: just hire the best coach possible? Why not just hire

1030
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel? You don't think Mike Vrabel would work with

1031
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams because I saw Mike Vrabel when he had

1032
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: a healthy Ryan Tannehill. They were good, like Mike Frable works.

1033
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: That's who I think that's a safe hire because for

1034
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: every Kyle and McVeigh, there are a lot of guys

1035
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: that fail. Now you could argue, is is Caleb fail

1036
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: proof based on two weeks? Clearly? Like it's football, it's hard.

1037
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee he's going to be some star. So

1038
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: my guess is there would be so much pressure on

1039
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: the organization, on Ryan Poles to hire an offensive guy

1040
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: for Caleb, that that is what they would do. That

1041
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: they would do that, But look at the team in

1042
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: their division, Like Dan Campbell's working pretty well, mattla Floor

1043
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: is kind of unique. He's pretty freaking good. Clearly, whoever

1044
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: they hire, and if you hire Clint Kubiak. The run

1045
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: game should be a huge part of what they do.

1046
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: It should become Caleb Williams's best friend. It translates to

1047
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: bad weather when Chicago, November, December, bad weather, Green Bay outdoors. Right.

1048
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it makes too much sense. So

1049
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: to me, Clint Kubiak, I don't know that much about him,

1050
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't know him personally, but what he's doing

1051
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: and his resume with that offense speaks for itself. Now,

1052
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: there's more to being a head coach than just being

1053
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: a great offensive play color. How you are as a leader,

1054
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: how you can handle the room, how you are as

1055
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: an evaluator, how you can manage everything going on as

1056
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: a head coach. It's difficult, so you don't really get

1057
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: to answer those questions. So you're put in that situation.

1058
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the majority of guys, it's like, well,

1059
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: fifty percent of first round picks fail. I don't think

1060
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: it's any different with coaches. Most coaches are fired within

1061
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: three or four years. Most coaches don't just become Tomlin,

1062
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Andy and Harbaugh. Yeah, twenty years later, they're still kicking ass.

1063
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Not usually the way it works. So it's a very

1064
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: risky situation. And I would say this in terms of

1065
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: you have so much more information, like when Ryan Poles

1066
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: drafted Caleb Williams and Roma Dunsay. The amount of scouting

1067
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: information due diligence they have done on those two humans

1068
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: was countless weeks, not hours. I'm talking weeks. When you

1069
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: hire a coach, you do like couple zoom interviews, you

1070
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: call some references, and you like, watch what their team did.

1071
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of a crazy process. Now it's much easier

1072
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: to evaluate when Andy Reid gets fired. You want to

1073
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: hire Andy Reid as a sixteen year resume in Philadelphia?

1074
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Right if Tomlin ever were to get fired in Pittsburgh,

1075
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: which looks like we're gonna win the division, But you

1076
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like Pete Carroll, like these guys

1077
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: that have coached Bill Belichick, like you know they can

1078
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: do it. When you get these coordinators, it's like, yeah,

1079
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: I like your offense, but how are you in front

1080
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: of the entire team? What do you like when our

1081
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,919
Speaker 1: star running back gets How do you handle when your

1082
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: star linebacker's mom gets cancer and has three weeks to

1083
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: live and he's really rattled? Like I mean, you just

1084
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: can't prepare for any of that, And the only way

1085
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: that you know they can do that is if they've

1086
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: done it before. Because if you've been a head coach

1087
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you basically dealt with everything from Dewey's

1088
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: to death, to injuries to you name it. There's probably

1089
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: not many situations if you've been a head coach for

1090
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: more than five years that haven't come across your desk

1091
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: with a player with a coach. I mean, coaches get

1092
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: in trouble, right, I mean, all sorts of shit happens,

1093
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: family issues, with yourself. It's it's got to be one

1094
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: of the most difficult situations to hire for when you're

1095
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 1: hiring someone who hasn't been a head coach before, because

1096
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: the amount of unknown given how much you're gonna pay him.

1097
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna give that guy eight to ten

1098
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: million dollars a starting salary, and you're success then is

1099
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: immediately tied to that guy. It's impossible to be a

1100
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: good GM with a bad coach. It's literally impossible. It

1101
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: does not exist. There has never been a Hall of

1102
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Fame or a high end GM that hasn't had an

1103
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: above average coach. Just like any coach would tell you,

1104
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: there's never been a great coach that hasn't had great players.

1105
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: They all go hand in hand. Ozzie and DaCosta look

1106
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot better with John Arbun. Bret Veach would be

1107
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: the first tell you, I look a lot better with

1108
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: Andy Coach and the guys. It matters a lot the

1109
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: volume
