This has been a football 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: heavy show and it will continue to be football heavy 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 4: as we get closer and closer to the beginning of 25 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 4: the NFL and other respective football seasons. It's football time, people, 26 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 4: and let's start off. Let's kick off this first hour 27 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: TJ with well some comments from George Kittle. I know 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 4: you are part of the PA, and you have been 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 4: a very very active member to conversations that take place 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 4: at that higherarchy of conversations with the PA, with the 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 4: league offices. Obviously, the NFL is working to expand the season. 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 4: They've already gone up to seven eighteen games. It looks 33 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: as though there's a strong possibility that eighteen games is inevitable. 34 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to what George Kittle has to say. 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 4: I'm interested in your opinion on it as well. But 36 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 4: here's George Kittle. 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: It's inevitably. 38 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 5: First, it's gonna get to eighteen games at some point, right, 39 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 5: And I've I think I've said it for like ever 40 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 5: since we got to seventeen games. I was like, just 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 5: give us two buys. And it just adds an extra 42 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 5: week to the season anyways, because now you're instead of 43 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 5: eighteen weeks, now you're at nineteen weeks. That's another air 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 5: week of football that you're on TV with all the 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 5: ads and all that stuff. Increases the season long and 46 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 5: it gives guys an extra week of rest because you 47 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 5: need that. It's hard to play eighteen games, but like, 48 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 5: I'm totally fine with that. 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: Just give us two buys. 50 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: Uh. 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 4: Now, we had this conversation on two pros and Q 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 4: Brady Quinn had the point of games being added is 53 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 4: clearly one of the biggest negotiation chips and bargaining pieces 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 4: of leverage that the NFLPA would have and their arsenal 55 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 4: to offer just saying like, Okay, we're going to eighteen 56 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 4: games and stuff like that. Is it wise for players 57 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: and players of his caliber to be coming out and 58 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 4: just saying, yeah, we're okay with there being eighteen games. 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: Just give us two buys. 60 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 4: Now take that out of the equation and you just 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: look at it at the phase value. Things are negotiated 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 4: the way that they need to be between the PA 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 4: and the league. 64 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: Does eighteen games make sense? 65 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 4: And do you like the idea of having two bye 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 4: weeks connected to the season making it a nineteen week season. 67 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: Man, if they're going to go to eighteen games, which 68 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: it looked like, it really looks like that, that's what's 69 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: going to happen. And you have Joe Burrow saying it, 70 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: you have George Kittleson and who we just heard the 71 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: sound two by weeks. I believe it will gain more 72 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: traction and it will just be. It's going to happen eventually. 73 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: It's just a matter of when not if. Now you 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: know what's crazy if you get two bye weeks and 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: say you get two Thursday night games or I don't 76 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: know how that works, is every team just get one. 77 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 2: In that sense, depending on your coach, you almost have 78 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: three bye weeks during the season, because you know you 79 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: play Thursday night game. The majority of coaches and teams 80 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: they give you Friday, Saturday, Sunday off, be back on Monday. 81 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 2: So that's like a mini bye week, so to speak. 82 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: But you know, we play sixteen games before we had 83 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: that one by week, and now that they're playing seventeen 84 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: games and then you get to eighteen games one, records 85 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: are going to be broken, and records are going to 86 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: be broken with no problem. Will it be an asterisk 87 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: and say this was done in eighteen games. You got 88 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: a guy like Calvin Johnson, yards in a season probably 89 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: will be broken if you get to eighteen games, you 90 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: have rushing yards in the season. I don't know if 91 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: that will ever be broken because running backs don't get 92 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: the carries today that they got when we were playing. 93 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: But I would assume eighteen games is coming and it's coming. 94 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: Fast pause and when it. 95 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 2: Does, true, it will be two by weeks because when 96 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: the best players in the league are saying that they 97 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 2: believe that should be the case, so that that's what's. 98 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: Going to happen. Should it be larger rosters if you 99 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: do go to eighteen games? 100 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: No, no, but this is what it should be. I've 101 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: always felt this, LeVar. I've always felt this. Why do 102 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: we have an active in it active thing? If you're 103 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,679 Speaker 2: on the fifty three man roster, you should suit up. 104 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: And so, no, the roster shouldn't be large because you 105 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: don't get paid. They don't play. They don't know. No, yes, 106 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: yes you do, Yes you do. 107 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: Don't give you a game check, Yes you do, LeVar, 108 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: I was an active See you don't know anything. No, 109 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: I'm talking practice squad. Now, I'm talking not the practice squad. 110 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: I'm talking to fifty three man roster. Right, All fifty 111 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: three guys aren't active LeVar, You know that right. 112 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: Right, that is okay? And so how many guys are 113 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: are are active? And during the game. 114 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: You have forty five forty five, so it's eight guys inactive. 115 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got it. And so let the entire 116 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 3: team be active. Practice squad guys don't get a game. 117 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: Practice no, no, okay, all right, but the rules now though, 118 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: you know, you can bring a practice squad guy up, 119 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: pam a game check and put it right back down, right, 120 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: And so the all fifty three guys. 121 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: Don't you don't know nothing about that. 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: No, you know, you don't know nothing about being inactive. 123 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: I mean the only time you were inactive when you 124 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: were hurt early in my career, man, it was she 125 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: walk into that locker room. You don't see that jersey 126 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: on the shoulder pads. 127 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: I'm inactive today. 128 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: So that's what I think should happen, is all fifty 129 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: three guys should be able to suit up and maybe 130 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: let's say let's just suit up fifty five guys. 131 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: Per week. Two guys from a practice squad can come up. 132 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: They get that game check, and so let's say we 133 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: have fifty five guys active every single week. But I 134 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: believe the guys that are always on the inactive list. 135 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: If you're on an active roster, you should be able 136 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: to suit up. And that's in essence, eight extra spots 137 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: that you normally wouldn't have, which is a lot. 138 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: You know. 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 4: What's interesting, they went from fourteen games to sixteen and 140 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: seventy eight. From nineteen seight to eighty one or through 141 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 4: eighty one, it was sixteen games sixteen weeks, which is interesting, 142 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 4: which means that there was no bye weeks. You just 143 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 4: went straight through for sixteen games from seventy eight to 144 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: eighty one. Now, interestingly enough, at the end of that 145 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 4: run in eighty two, there was only nine games played 146 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: because in a seventeen week season, because there was a strike. 147 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: You know, clearly there was you know, conversations about what. 148 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: Was going on. 149 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 4: They came back, they did the sixteen game sixteen weeks 150 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: again from eighty eight to eighty nine, but then made 151 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 4: it a sixteen game season with seventeen weeks, so they 152 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: started they started adding bye weeks once they got into 153 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 4: the nineties. So it's interesting to think, you know, late eighties, 154 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: like into the eighties and into the nineties. Just it's 155 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: interesting to think of the evolution of how we view games. 156 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: Like the guys who play in the seventies, you know, 157 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: they're like, man, we're playing fourteen games in fourteen weeks, Like. 158 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 3: What did that look like? 159 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 4: They probably weren't making I know, we know they weren't 160 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 4: making a ton of money, and there was a lot 161 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: of pressure to figure out how to make a living 162 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 4: outside of the season. 163 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: But things have changed. 164 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: This game has grown so much and you'd have to 165 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 4: assume just the singular edition of a game or two, 166 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 4: the impact it's had on the growth of the game, 167 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 4: the impact it's had on the amount of advertising dollars 168 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: that you're able to add, because that goes into the 169 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: packages that are being sold with these major you know, 170 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 4: advertising companies and agencies that are involved. 171 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: TJ is such big business. 172 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 4: And we're seeing how they're trying to extend and make 173 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 4: this such a longer season four you know, the spectacle 174 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 4: that is considered to be, you know, the most watched 175 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 4: and best sport in America. So to me, I think 176 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: it's it's interesting that they're pushing for eighteen games. 177 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: In my mind, sixteen games. 178 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 4: Coming out of college, playing sixteen games, those extra four games, 179 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 4: that was hard. That was a hard adjustment. It almost 180 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: felt like another another season. Then you get used to it. 181 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 4: You get used to it, and you're able to go 182 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 4: through that sixteen to add another two. I think if 183 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 4: they did add another bye week, I think that it 184 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 4: would be definitely feasible to think that you could do. 185 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: An eighteen game season. 186 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 4: I just think that those those bye weeks would have 187 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: to be very very well strategically placed. 188 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: And I think somebody with. 189 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow was talking about putting the Pro Bowl in 190 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: one of those bye weeks and stuff like that. 191 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: I don't subscribe to that. 192 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 4: I don't think that that would be a great idea, 193 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: just maybe due to injuries and the Pro Bowl needs 194 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: to be some of you just have like competitions the 195 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 4: actual football game. 196 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: Just have some competition amongst the guys doing different things, 197 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: almost like a decaflon but not a bunch of physical exertion. 198 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: That's what it needs to be. Man, Guys ain't playing 199 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl. 200 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: Man, just have some type of competitions amongst the players, 201 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: and it's like a almost like an All Star weekend 202 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: minus the basketball play. 203 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 204 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure there could be a lot of 205 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 4: different ways to approach making a Pro Bowl or All 206 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: Pro week. That's a bye week that could be very monetizable. 207 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: I think that that'll come with some creative thought involved 208 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: to make that happen. But I definitely think that having 209 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: two buys would make it make sense to do eighteen games. 210 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 4: With that being said, maybe one of those buys, which 211 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 4: has never been done in the NFL, would let that 212 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 4: I know of that having a bye week where no 213 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 4: teams play, you know what I mean, Like, it's just 214 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 4: it's a total. 215 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 3: Off week bye week for the league's Oh no, I 216 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: don't think that will ever happen because that would be 217 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: the only way you be able to do a Pro Bowl. 218 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but season event, once you get to the fall, man, 219 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: we are like this time for me, I don't know 220 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: about you. 221 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: This time of the year is awful. It's like what 222 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 3: am I gonna watch on TV? 223 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: Right? 224 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: And so once August runs around. 225 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: It's like, okay, okay, here come football. And so I'm 226 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 2: accustomed to football every single weekend. 227 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I could dig. 228 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: It, and so to go through it and not have 229 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 2: a weekend with football, it'd be like, oh, now if 230 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: they do do that. If they are going to do that, 231 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: let's see if they can get with college football and 232 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: make sure that's a good weekend of college football. So 233 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: that may be a way that they can manage that 234 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: if they can get with the powers that be within 235 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: college football and say, Okay, this is gonna be championship 236 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: weekend and whatever it may be, let's get some good 237 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: games on their for college football, and then that may 238 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: work from that perspective. 239 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we'll see how it works out. 240 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 4: That's TJ.

Man, 329 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 2: I really don't. I really don't. We can go back 330 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 2: LeVar to years and years ago when we were on 331 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: FS one and I said I would give Dak Prescott 332 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: thirty three million a year. Everybody went up in arms 333 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 2: about it. Oh, I would never give him a dollar 334 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 2: above thirty million. Da da da da da. And look 335 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: what he signed for. Because the Cowboys waited and waited 336 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: and waited, they end up panel more and you knew 337 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott was your quarterback of a few future. You 338 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: continue to wait. They're doing the same exact thing with CD. 339 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: Now you're not letting them go. When you draft a 340 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: player in the first round, you cross your fingers and 341 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 2: you hope he's a type of player we can sign 342 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: to a second contract, because that means you're doing a 343 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: good job of drafting and you're doing a good job 344 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: of developing your players that you do draft. That's a 345 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 2: good problem to have you sign them. You're waiting. It's 346 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: gonna be greater later. You're doing the same thing with 347 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: Michael Partson. We're gonna be in the same discuss with 348 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 2: Michael Partsons next year. I don't understand what they're doing, 349 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 2: but yes, Cedee Lamb, he's earned it. He should hold 350 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: out because you need to get what you can get 351 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 2: when you can get in the league. Because every play, 352 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: every play you just don't know, could be the last. 353 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: It could always be the last. For your one thing 354 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 2: with the Bengals, they gonna pay a quarterback and they 355 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: gonna pay a receiver. Jamar cha is gonna get paid. 356 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: That's a fact. They pay Joe Burrow and they gonna 357 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: pay Jamar Chase. They've always done it. They gonna pay 358 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: that quarterback and they gonna pay that receiver. Now, are 359 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 2: they gonna pay the second receiver? Probably not, but they 360 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: gonna pay the number one, and so Chase is gonna 361 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: get his money. But it's the CD line one that's 362 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: puzzling to me. He's established himself as one of the 363 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: top receivers in the league. He's earned his payday and 364 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 2: y'all messing around, like do they not realize when you 365 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: do players like it just breeds animosity. It kind of 366 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: just makes you angry. It makes you mad even when 367 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: you get the deal with that they don't really believe 368 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: in me type of thing, like they really don't. 369 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I would say the one that that 370 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 4: appeals to or applies to the most is Ayuk, right, 371 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 4: I mean it hasn't. I feel like he's earned the 372 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 4: right to say exactly what you said, Like, why you guys. 373 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: Don't believe in me to pay me? You know what 374 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 3: I'm worth. The thing with Ba is Debo. 375 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 2: If Deebo is a top seven I believe paid receiver 376 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: in the league. They have guys at the receiver position 377 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: that are well compensated, running back position well compensated. When 378 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 2: you look at the Niners, Trent Williams getting paid, Kittle 379 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: getting paid, McCaffrey getting paid, Debo getting paid. So they 380 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 2: have guys where, yes, you can feel that way, but 381 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: their money is being spent on the offensive side. When 382 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: you look at the Cowboys outside of Dak Prescott and 383 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: Zach Mark who getting paid on that offense. Outside of 384 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: those two guys who getting paid on that right now? 385 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 2: And so that's my point is Ceedee Lamb should feel 386 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 2: underappreciated because who else is getting paid on this offense 387 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: besides those two guys right like, like what is going on? 388 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: And so you be paid absolutely, But the Niners are 389 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 2: trying to keep a good team together. And again with 390 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: the Niners, if they would have just got got out 391 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: in front of this, you know who did a great 392 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: you know who does a great job is in getting 393 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: out in front of contracts and getting guys a little early. 394 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles, man, they. 395 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 4: Kind of do it good. But they have what they 396 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 4: got going on with with has Son. 397 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: Reddick, Like they let us they traded as sign Reddick 398 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: to the Jets because they. 399 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: Didn't Jets to the Jets. 400 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 2: They didn't want that problem, right, the Jets are having 401 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 2: that issue. Demonte Smith signed for twenty five million a 402 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 2: year and people are looking saying, Wow, the Eagles did 403 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 2: a great job of getting him signed early because you 404 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 2: look at what guys started to get after he signed. Man, 405 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: they would have been giving him twenty eight thirty million 406 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: a year. They saved that money because they got the 407 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: deal done early. They they say that money because they 408 00:22:59,520 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: got the deal. 409 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 4: When you know what, guy is a party once you know, yeah, 410 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 4: you should get just get it done, get it done, 411 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 4: Get it done. 412 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: What are you waiting on? 413 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: The salary cap goes up every year and so you 414 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: you put yourself in the bind. And now the Cowboys 415 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: you have a buyd Ceedee Lamb does not come to 416 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: training camp and report on time. Yeah he's going to 417 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: be fine. Yeah it's gonna be a problem. But this 418 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: season gonna be over for y'all. So are you willing 419 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 2: to waste a season because Ceedee Lamb doesn't report the 420 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: camp on top? Because outside of City Lamb, who Dak 421 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: Prescott gonna feel comfortable throwing the ball to that he 422 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: knows can win one on one. 423 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 4: On a consistent basis. Maybe no one. I think everybody 424 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 4: else has made you saw cooks. 425 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: Somebody will step to the forefront of our somebody somebody will. 426 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 2: But will it be It's not like a level that 427 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: they got with and that's the problem. It will, Yes, 428 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: it will not. So I need to I need somebody. 429 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: I need to be somebody's assistant. GM man, I really do, 430 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: like I'm saying that, but I really do. 431 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I really do. I hope people are listening, 432 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I hope they're paying attention, because 433 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 3: I just need to learn. 434 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 2: Once I learn the game, it's a rap I got 435 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: an eye for time, not just receiver, every position man. Yeah, 436 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: like I believe that it's almost uh, get out in 437 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: front and if you don't get out in front of it, 438 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: then he's not a prayer that you want in the future. 439 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: If you don't deem him worthy of getting this contract. Now, 440 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: it's a guy that we can just move on from. 441 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 2: Just do a good job with that. 442 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 4: What if you have a situation where financially speaking, you're 443 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 4: waiting to clear a contract or you know, clear a 444 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 4: player that you would have dig cap hit, you know, 445 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 4: potential on and stuff like that. What if it's just 446 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 4: a matter of the current state cap wise that a 447 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 4: team may be in as to why they don't get 448 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 4: the deal done. 449 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: That's the business side of it, and that's that's that's 450 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: under that's understandable. 451 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 3: But when it's a CD lamp. See, this is the thing. 452 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 2: These teams always use, we don't have a cap space 453 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 2: as an excuse, LaVar. Let's let all the people in 454 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 2: on a secret. They always have space always don't believe it. 455 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: They always have space. There's so many ways to word 456 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: a contract and bonuses. There's always there's always ways to 457 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 2: get a contract done if you want to. They use 458 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 2: the salary cap as an excuse as to why we 459 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: can't do this. No, no, no, you can use language 460 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: to make it happen. They just choose not to, and 461 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 2: the people fall for it because they don't know any better. 462 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 2: I'm just letting y'all know now, if you want to 463 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 2: get it done, you get it done, no excuse. They 464 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: can get it done. But for years it's always, oh, 465 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: we don't have a cap space. Oh they don't have Yes, 466 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: you do. 467 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 3: All right, So we'll see how that all plays out. 468 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 4: There's a familiar name that has joined a familiar show 469 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 4: for this upcoming NFL season.

It's 509 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 4: an NFL films footage shows. 510 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: It's I mean. 511 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 4: Back to Nick Bonakhani and Lynn Dawson and so many 512 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 4: that Damn Marino. It's been so many amazing personalities that 513 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 4: have been a part of. 514 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: This show. 515 00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 4: In particular, how do you feel about Bill belichickoining the. 516 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: Crew for Inside the NFL. It's on the CW. 517 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 4: That's interesting, that's an interesting move from HBO and stuff 518 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: like that. But what what was your first reaction to 519 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,959 Speaker 4: Bill Belichick joining this cast? 520 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's more so, uh, Bill seems to be 521 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: a good personality when he is in the head coach 522 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: of a team, and so if he can maintain that, 523 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: which I believed that's who he is, I think he's 524 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: gonna be great for TV. Obviously, a wealth of knowledge 525 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: when it comes to football and being able to see 526 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 2: and understand what's going on and explain it to the 527 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: audience in a way where they understand it. And so, 528 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: you know, being a head coach, he operated a certain way, 529 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: but seeing him outside of that realm and seeing how 530 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 2: he conducts himself. 531 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 3: That was just who he was as a head coach. 532 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: Who he will be as. 533 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: A analyst as a commentator, I believe, and he's shown 534 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: that it's somebody different and that somebody different. 535 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 3: Looks to be a cool Belichick. Compared to. 536 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: The way he was as the coach Belichick, it was 537 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: just like he was not a good dude. He was 538 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 2: always mad. And this this Belichick, I think a lot 539 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: of people can enjoy and they will. 540 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 3: They will like him. 541 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 4: You know, the first thing I thought about when I've 542 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 4: heard him accepting these roles. He's going to work with 543 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 4: the Peyton's, the Mannings on the Manning cast he's going 544 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 4: to do. Inside the NFL, A lot of people are 545 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 4: intimidated by the coach, right if you think about bringing 546 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 4: him in. The reports that came out of Atlanta was 547 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 4: that they were, you know, kind of intimidated by his presence, 548 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 4: intimidated by what that could represent. What do you say 549 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 4: to a man that has accomplished what Bill Belichick has accomplished. 550 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 4: I think this is a brilliant approach for Bill Belichick, 551 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 4: and this is exactly what I believe Tom Brady is. 552 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 3: Doing as well. 553 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 4: This is a brilliant way of building your brand and 554 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 4: building your reputation in a way where you're consumable, where 555 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 4: you're not so much larger than life that you're not relatable. 556 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 3: I agree with you one hundred percent. 557 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 4: When Bill Belichick has done his you know, he was 558 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 4: on stage with the college Game Day crew, he was 559 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: with Pat McAfee and his school. 560 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: His wit, and his personality. 561 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 4: It's like now you get and it's kind of interesting 562 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 4: when you get to see that personality after you've seen 563 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: so much of what he is as a head coach 564 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 4: and what he did and how he handled things when 565 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 4: he was winning all of those games. It almost makes 566 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 4: it even better, like way better that the dude is 567 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 4: actually like a funny dude. He's a witty dude, like 568 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 4: the note that he wrote, the email that he wrote 569 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 4: his player and tore his ass up and in the 570 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: email it and it just had you laughing the whole time. 571 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 4: To get an opportunity to see him in that that way. 572 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 3: And in that manner, I think is an. 573 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 4: Excellent way of disarming anyone that could in the future 574 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 4: potentially hire him to be a head coach of their team. 575 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 3: TJ. 576 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 4: I mean to me, that was my first takeaway on 577 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 4: on what it was with Bill Belichick joining, you know, 578 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 4: these these media outlets to do what it is that 579 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 4: he's doing, so you know, we'll see how that all plays. 580 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 2: Be doing this to show that there is a different 581 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: side of him, so that the reluctance of people that 582 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 2: may I don't know if I want to hire him 583 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: as much, he's showing a different side to ease that 584 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 2: concern that people may have. 585 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 4: That's I think that if that's what it is, which 586 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 4: I would assume that that shouldn't be a hard a 587 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 4: hard conclusion of military secret conclusion. It seems like that 588 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 4: makes a ton of sense for him to show that 589 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 4: personality and disarm people. 590 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 3: So we'll see how it plays out. 591 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 4: With Bill Belichick wishing him all the lucky in the 592 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 4: world and the show, Ryan and CJ, all those guys, 593 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: everything that's going on. 594 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 3: Jake, you know, long, good luck to that show. 595 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 4: We're gonna close out, We're gonna wrap up things, and 596 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 4: we're gonna do that with a cornerback from the Bears. 597 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 4: He had some really really cool things to say about 598 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 4: their new quarterback, Caleb Williams.

He stands out. 626 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 4: I think his arm talent stands out, his maturity stands out. 627 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 4: Just the way he carries himself stands out. Now, when 628 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 4: you have a veteran in the league that's on the 629 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 4: team and they have positive things to say about. 630 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 3: You this early on, because generally this. 631 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 4: Is when vets don't like rookies, is the early parts 632 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 4: of it, because they don't know the rules of engagement yet. 633 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 4: I can recall, you know, Bruce Smith being like kind 634 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 4: of like dismissive towards me a little maybe even could 635 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 4: have been considered mean. 636 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 3: I remember being in. 637 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 4: A pass rush one time we had a game TJ 638 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 4: and Bruce told me, coming out of huddle, just get out. 639 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 4: Well he say like that, just get out of my way, LeVar, 640 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 4: just get just get up the field and just get 641 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 4: out of my way.

And so I 645 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 4: earned that respect and earned that trust from one of 646 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 4: the greatest and the highest sack totals guy to ever 647 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,479 Speaker 4: played the game. 648 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 3: But as a rook coming in, I didn't get I didn't. 649 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 4: Get a lot of praises lotted my way from the Vets. 650 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 4: This seems like this is pretty encouraging that Caleb would 651 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 4: receive this type of feedback so soon in his career. 652 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised. 653 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 2: You know, Caleb Williams is of the last fifteen years, 654 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 2: one of the top quarterback prospects to come into the league, 655 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 2: and some will say maybe the last twenty years. 656 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 4: You know, you say, what Andrew Luck Yep, some say 657 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence. 658 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: Maybe at Trevor Lawrence. In Caleb Williams mean into the 659 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 2: league that everybody is like, can't miss, can't miss, can't miss, 660 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 2: And so it doesn't it doesn't surprise me. Calen Williams 661 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 2: was fantastic at Oklahoma, he was fantastic at USC This 662 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 2: past season had some down games, but a s SE 663 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 2: just didn't have that team and players. 664 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 3: A lot of that didn't have to do with him. No, 665 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 3: a lot of defense. 666 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say of it because when you know, man, 667 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: I gotta score every single person. 668 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were depending on him to win every game. 669 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 2: You you're gonna press, You're gonna force some things as 670 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 2: you shouldn't force. 671 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 3: And people say, oh, he didn't play great against under name. 672 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 2: Well, when you know, if I don't score every possession, 673 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 2: we're probably gonna lose. You start to do things that 674 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 2: you normally wouldn't do in a game. And so I 675 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 2: said it when he got drafted or before he got 676 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 2: the Bears are going to the playoffs. 677 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 4: This year, the Bears had a top ten defense. I'm 678 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 4: gonna running back, running back down the stretch, down the stretch. Oh, 679 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 4: you want to we can better right now we're running back. 680 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 4: I mean, you haven't got the ones that I already bought, 681 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 4: which by the way, I got another paradise in black now, 682 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 4: and they're pretty dope. 683 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 2: Anyway, unless they have injuries. I don't see how the 684 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 2: Bears don't make the playoffs with the defense that they 685 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 2: had down the stretch, and you add Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, 686 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 2: and Roma Doonze to the mix. I't even mentioned DeAndre Swift. 687 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 2: The Chicago Bears are prying, they're low to make a 688 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 2: playoff run, but it's going to have to start with 689 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams leading away. 690 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 3: I'm not all the. 691 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 4: Way sold that that he'll transition into the league to 692 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 4: that capacity where he sets the world on fire. 693 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 3: I think CJ. 694 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 4: Stroud may have created a baseline and a measuring standard 695 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 4: that might not be realistic. To be honest, I don't 696 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 4: know exactly how c J. Stroud was able to accomplish 697 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 4: at the highest level that he did in last season, 698 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,919 Speaker 4: but what I will say is is intriguing to think 699 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 4: that c J. Stroud wasn't even the number one guy 700 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 4: in his draft, and yet he had one of the 701 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 4: most impressive. I would say his his rookie year was 702 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 4: more impressive than Trevor Lawrence's. 703 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 2: Rookie year, who was easily considered to be the Stroud 704 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 2: might have one of the best rookie seasons of any 705 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 2: quarterback in the National Football League. 706 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 3: Ever. Yeah, yeah, Ever, I mean he should have been 707 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 3: in a conversation for a player of the Year, not 708 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 3: Rookie of the year. 709 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 2: He played in a conversation for me at one point 710 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 2: for offensive player of the Year. 711 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 3: Yep. 712 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: And it's tough for rookie to win it because you're 713 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 2: coming You're basically starting at the bottom of the hill 714 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: where everybody else is at the middle of the hill. 715 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 2: Because your your name, nobody nobody assumes a Ricky can 716 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 2: be in contention for that. But Cayler Williams, being a 717 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 2: competitor that he. 718 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 4: Is, you know, he's thinking, he knows what CJ did 719 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 4: like you know, he's aware of it. 720 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 3: He's a competitor. He's going to try to top that. 721 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 4: Yes, but how realistic is that that he can do 722 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 4: it with that team around it. 723 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 2: Very realistic, with that team around him and his talent, 724 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 2: Very realistic. I don't know Kayler Williams well but I 725 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 2: was able to spend some time with him. I know 726 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: him a little bit and that competitiveness, that that that desire, 727 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 2: that want to I'm excited, man to see how this 728 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 2: is gonna play out. The Bears are going to get 729 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 2: to the playoffs on the back of his arm, and 730 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 2: we're gonna be looking back on it saying, Wow, this 731 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 2: kid is what everybody thought he would be. 732 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 3: You feel confident about that. I do. 733 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 2: I feel very confident that he will succeed. I just 734 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 2: don't see what the weapons they have on offense how 735 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 2: he doesn't I don't see it. 736 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 4: I'm excited to see if that happens, because now you're 737 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 4: talking about there's the pressure to hunt it now is 738 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions. 739 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 3: They were the hunter, Now they're the hunted. 740 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 4: And being in that NFC North looking at what it 741 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 4: is that the expectations of the Lions are and knowing 742 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 4: that you have a quarterback in Jordan Love that is 743 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 4: now going to be you know, spotlighted with Green Bay 744 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 4: and now we're talking about what Caleb Williams could represent 745 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 4: for the Chicago Bears. I think that's going to be 746 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 4: pretty exciting to watch, pretty exciting to see how does 747 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 4: that all play out, and what do we see from 748 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 4: Caleb Williams as a rookie. We'll continue to have these 749 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 4: conversations and more, but for now this will do it 750 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 4: for us.
