1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on everybody, John Middlecoff three

2
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: and out podcast. How are we doing? Hopefully everyone's having

3
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: a great day out there in the real world, raising

Speaker 1: your children, enjoying life, staying warm. If you're in a

5
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: cold weather city, we'd like to meet to meet today

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: in Scottsdale was a little chillier about sixty five. Had

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: to put on a little hoodie. But we're gonna have

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: to start this podcast with what happened in Buffalo because

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: that press conference was was fireworks. You don't get those

10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: too often, and I thought, let's do a little NFL

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: rapid fire from Buffalo to McCarthy interviewing with the Steelers,

12
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield, going after Stefanski to the forty nine ers,

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: acknowledging the substate. We'll talk about it all. We'll just

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: NFL different topics from today, as well as a mailbag

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff as the Instagram fire and those dms.

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Get your questions answered here on the show. You obviously

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: can watch this bald human being. I actually wore a

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: hat today on Netflix. We put every episode on Netflix,

19
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: and we also are on every audio platform, which many

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: of you are listening to right now. I guess this

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: is the audio version, So Spotify, Apple. If you're listening

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: on Collins Feed, make sure you subscribe to the three

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: and out feed, make sure you do that. If you

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: like golf, we got to go low feed too. I'm

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: gonna start that up here in a couple of weeks.

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: I've had some other requirements and obviously football season coming

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: down the home stretch, but we're gonna separate that this

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: year with some I mean, we have some big news

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: Koepka and stuff, but that's we'll keep that on the

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: other podcast. And yeah, so let's just let's talk some

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: football and just dive right into the Buffalo Bills. Now.

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I've been pretty critical because one guy got promoted, one

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: guy got fired, and I was like, you know, how

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: are these guys not on equal footings, even though we

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: know that's not how it usually goes. I have a

36
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: little bit of a different take today. I've never listened

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: or heard Terry Pegoula talk. I learned through the press

38
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: conference that the man rarely talks, And after watching today,

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I understood why I would never go in front of

40
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: a microphone again if I was him. My big takeaway

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: today is like, I don't know if he's the sharpest

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: tool in the shed. Some of you would be like John,

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: he's a billionaire, how would you say he's not smart? Well,

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: I can't say I know many billionaires, but I knew

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: some multimillionaires growing up who didn't have a high school diploma.

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Because historically sixties, seventies, eighties, Pagoula made his money in oil. Like,

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: you could get by with not being the smartest guys

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: if you had nste size of watermelons, if you had balls,

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: if you were willing to take chances because most human

50
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: society or not. Like, I don't know if Jerry Jones

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: is the sharpest guy in every room he's ever walked in.

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: But there's no disputing that Jerry was willing to take

53
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: some big swings back in the day. I'm talking before

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the cowboys. He had large cohonas and like reading a

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: little bit about Terry and his business climb, there's no

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: disputing Terry's got some stones. But like when you watch

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: him and listen, not everyone is a great public speaker.

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: I've told the story before. My brother is much more

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: capable of like ninety nine percent of things in life

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: than me. Yet he couldn't eat his dinner before my

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: wedding because he had to give a speech which lasted

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds. So people are just uncomfortable speaking in public,

63
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: which is understandable. Like I talk for a living, so

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I try not to judge people that talking in these settings.

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: But like I've seen enough owners talk like most guys

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: can handle themselves. He could not. And then I started

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: doing a little digging, like I don't follow hockey. No

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: team in pro sports besides the Jets has a longer

69
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: playoff drought than the Buffalo Sabers. He happened to own

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: that franchise as well. I've said this for a long time,

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: like you watched this press conferences theater, and I live

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: for a good press conference. When it's like it's fucking

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: on like Donkey Kong. People want answers, people want to

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: know what's going on. This feels like a shady situation.

75
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Like let's rewind a couple of weeks ago to the

76
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Ravens Steve Bushatti fires John Harbaugh. It really wasn't that controversial.

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Was like eighteen years we felt like we came to

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: the end of the road, we make a change, and

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: you looked up at the day it's such as him

80
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: talking and he's given his answers, unfazed, comfortable in his environment.

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: It is just in that situation, whether you liked or

82
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: didn't like what he was saying, like he wasn't afraid anything,

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: Bring it fucking on, right, and he was like, that's

84
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: what an honor, That's that's how it should be handled.

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I watched Chris Chris Marritt yesterday after the Hardball press conference.

86
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: He did something on the side with all the media

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: and he's usually not the lead voice. This is his

88
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: brother John handled it with ease. You watched Terry up

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: there today. Obviously the keyon Coleman comment which I will

90
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: defend Brandon Bean later in the press conference he came

91
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: back like, listen, we were all on the same page.

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: Anytime you don't draft like really really high, I would

93
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: say top five, but maybe like the top fifteen, Like

94
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: you could get someone at eleven that you kind of

95
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: had a decent idea who was gonna be there, and

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: that's who your coaching staff, the personnel people love. You

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: start drafting pack pass like pick twenty five, there are

98
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna be seven different opinions in the room. Coach GM coordinators,

99
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: A couple of scouts, like most people are gonna be like,

100
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: I wish we would have drafted that guy. I wanted

101
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: that guy. That's not abnormal at all. And I think

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean really tried to double down. Like Listen, I

103
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: liked him too. There are videos going viral of him

104
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: liking him. I like Keon Coleman a lot of Florida State.

105
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: I thought he was a stud. Remember that first game

106
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: against LSU, you have three touchdowns, It was just mossing

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: dudes in the corner of the end zone. Was fantastic performance.

108
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: So I was pro key. I'm not trying to act

109
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: like it was a crazy draft pick at the time.

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: But and I think Brandon Bean tried to like later

111
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: on saying listen, I don't tried to distance himself a

112
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: little bit from that, and it shows, like Terry, there's

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: not that big a difference beside owners that don't give

114
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: you money to spend on your team like that. That's

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: a big separating factor. But most of these guys have

116
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: no clue what they're doing. Let's just be real, right,

117
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: They are very dependent on the people they hire, and

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: if they get the people they hire right, their team

119
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: kicks ass. Terry Pagoula is a good example. Bean McDermott.

120
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: A year in they draft Josh Allen and it's on

121
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong. If he would have drafted two people

122
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: that weren't capable, which we see happen all the time,

123
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills franchise could still be a joke like

124
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: it was most of the Internet era, post like the

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: late nineties. So like people have to make decisions on

126
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: who to keep and who not to keep, and it's

127
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: always easier for these owners to keep the GM. I

128
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: understand that we've been consistent on this podcast. It's not

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: even a pro personnel anti coach thing. It's just like

130
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: they communicate more closely. They're able to make their case

131
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: more easily. They speak their same language where coaches sometimes don't,

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: and coaches voice like the GM and addressing the team.

133
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: The GM ain't the guy scheming up the place. So

134
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: the and the coach makes way more. The coaches also,

135
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: let's say, being who I mean, I would surely makes

136
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: a decent amount of money, let's say five to six million.

137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: Sean mcdernod's like making fifteen million, So the coaches make

138
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: way more, their jobs more volatile. It comes with the

139
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: territory right. But watching Pegoula to Dad went, WHOA, they

140
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: were a bad hire from this thing being the Jets,

141
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: because you watch this guy, he is a complete wild card,

142
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: and I've always just assumed didn't know much about him.

143
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Good ownership. I think they hired the right people when

144
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: they drafted the right quarterback because I watched Terry Pegoula

145
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: and I went, I don't really see it. Someone take

146
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: the mic away from him as someone DM me. What

147
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: they should have done is at Terry start and just say, listen,

148
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: we had a bunch of shots at this He's been

149
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: here nine years. We really respect him, took a bunch

150
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: of shots. We couldn't get over the hump, and we

151
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: thought it was time to make a change. That's my statement.

152
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Sticking to it, I'm out, Brandon West answer all your questions. Instead,

153
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: he just kept talking and it was like holy shit,

154
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: like random Bean's listen. I'm not anti Bean in the

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: sense that I've heard him do a lot of interviews

156
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: over the years. I've always thought he was a sharp guy,

157
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: whether he's a great drafter or not. Like no one's

158
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: comparing him to like Al Davis in his prime, right,

159
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: But he clearly had some good players, and it's done

160
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: a solid job and takes a large amount of the

161
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: responsibility for landing the quarterback, which was very controversial at

162
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: the time. There is no Monday Morning quarterback like everyone

163
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: would take in Josh Allen. Josh Allen and I vividly

164
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: remember this. I'm like, that's crazy. You're gonna take a

165
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: small school guy. I get he has some traits, who

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: is extremely inaccurate and did not really win in college.

167
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: That is ballsy. And I had actually had a good

168
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: buddy with the Chiefs was like, bro, I think this

169
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: guy's a big time talent. He's got a chance. And

170
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: my buddy was right. And clearly the Bills were right

171
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: because there were people in the league that could kind

172
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: of see it. But there have been a lot of

173
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allens that turned into Anthony Richardson's or Trey Lances.

174
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: So it took stones. They got it right, and I

175
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: would imagine that's a big reason that indebted him to

176
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: the owner, right, because he was one of the driving

177
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: forces of doing that and then extending the contracts. But

178
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: you watch the owner and you go listen, I get

179
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: you're an oil maverick and made a lot of money

180
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: in that industry, and you got some stones, but what

181
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: a microphone's in front of your mouth. Someone involved with

182
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills needs heyank that thing around. They even

183
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: asked them one question because of the new stadium, and

184
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I guess he got close to nine hundred million dollars

185
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: with taxpayer money, which I'm not like most in the media.

186
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: It's like the taxpayers don't. I don't care. If I

187
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: owned a team, I would try to get as much

188
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: free money as possible. We all would. I mean, welcome

189
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: to the real world. So it doesn't bother me as

190
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: much as like people on Twitter. But they asked him,

191
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: because you got all this free money, will you be

192
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: available to just talk more. It's like, yeah, I might be.

193
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: And then after I was like, I do not make

194
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: him available. This makes it way worse. Keep him away

195
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: from the microphone. If he had a podcast, I think

196
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: would go belly up quick. Uh So the Bills, I mean,

197
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: all eyes now are on who they're gonna hire, right,

198
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: look at the Ravens fired Harbor. They just feel pretty normal.

199
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: Probably gonna hire Mentor. It was less controversial because it's

200
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: not like they were gonna fire DaCosta uh, I mean

201
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: Ta Costa was. It's well known. He's John Harbaugh's best friends,

202
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: the fucking neighbors. It's just it's just very, very normal, right,

203
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: and then you see the bills like this thing. Honestly,

204
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: it had some It had some similarities too. I remember

205
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: going when Jim Harbaugh was fired and they ended up

206
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: hiring Jim tom Sula. But the post Jim Harbaugh firing

207
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: press conference was as explosive and entertaining of a press

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: conference in the postseason is you're gonna get They don't

209
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: get any better. I live for him that they thoroughly

210
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: entertained me. Like listen, you saw Ben Johnson today or

211
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Kyle and Lynch today, Like those are cool. Get some

212
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts about what's going on, maybe a headline

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: or two. There's nothing like every question. You don't know

214
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: where the bullets are gonna fly and what's gonna come.

215
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: Because it's everyone, you could tell they're up there on

216
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: edge all four. My guess would be sitting here that

217
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Brian Dayball's the next coach, assuming Josh and him have

218
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: a good relationship, and to my knowledge they do so,

219
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I would guess that's the easiest route. Like that They're

220
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: not gonna hire some random coordinator. You can't take that

221
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: type risk with this infrastructure already there. So betting man

222
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: right now, it would be Brian Dayball, and if it's not,

223
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: it would be someone else with some cachet, because you

224
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: can't just fire Sean McDermott and go hire you know,

225
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: Robert Salah. I mean, I know he's not available, but

226
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm just using him as an example. Some other coach

227
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: news that's pretty interesting. There's a couple here, so the

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Steelers interviewed Mike McCarthy. I think the Steelers is a

229
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: terrible job. I think the Steelers job like they'll get

230
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: to get a lot of credit. They've had three coaches

231
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: in like seventy five years. Cool, great, it's twenty twenty

232
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: five that their roster on paper looks terrible because it's

233
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of aging players that are making a ton

234
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: of money and they have no quarterback. So like, this

235
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Steeler team isn't exactly the one that Tomlin took over

236
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: or the one like you know from the late nineties

237
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: with some great players. This is a team that I

238
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: was short the majority of their players and is going

239
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: to probably next year be a rebuild. I know the

240
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: owner pushed back on that, but I haven't read like

241
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: one of those like seventy two hours into the Mike

242
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Tomlin decision slash pressure he had felt for meetings. I

243
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: haven't read that article, so I'm just taking it on

244
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: face value that Mike Tomlin saw the writing on the wall,

245
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,479
Speaker 1: this thing was over. I'm jumpionship, right, but the Steelers

246
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: situation is something to me that's not that desirable, and

247
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: you can't if you're gonna lose Mike Tomlin, it's pretty

248
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: hard to sell to hire Mike McCarthy, who in a

249
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: lot of ways is very similar. I mean, look at

250
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: his run with the Cowboys. Had some good teams, couldn't

251
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: do anything in the playoffs. I mean part of the

252
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: problem with the Steelers, like they've been competitive, they just

253
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: get dominated by the good teams, especially in January. So

254
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: if Mike McCarthy also was thinking about this today, you like,

255
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: think about like Pat Riley. It's like, played and coached

256
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, then I went to the New York Knicks,

257
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: and then I basically created the Miami Heat. It's like

258
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a run. Or Joe Torrey's like

259
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: won a bunch of championships with the Yankees and then

260
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: went to the Dodgers. Like that's fucking badass, that's sweet.

261
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, Mike McCarthy coach for the Packers, the Cowboys,

262
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. Robert saw his coach for the Jets

263
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: and the Titans. I mean, think how lucky if McCarthy

264
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: got this job. And who knows. I mean, it's not

265
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: like anyone has a great feel for where the Steelers

266
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: are gonna go. They might be able to sell themselves,

267
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: like we could do a lot worse than this guy.

268
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: He knows how to work with some quarterbacks. He's look

269
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: at Rogers, look at Dak Prescott like, there's no disputing

270
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: McCarthy's I'm not acting like he's the village idiot either.

271
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's not much of a difference with

272
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: the two. Now. The main difference is McCarthy can call plays.

273
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: But I just can't get over if McCarthy were to

274
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: get that job, it'd be one of the truly great

275
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: resumes in the history of the league. The three franchises

276
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: he got to coach, you could argue might be the

277
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: three most iconic franchises. Definitely three of the top five

278
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL, and if we just

279
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: did all of sports, including in American professional sports, I

280
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: would say three of the top ten you'd throw in

281
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: the Yankees, you throwing the Lake, probably throwing the Knicks,

282
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I mean, it's the Packers, the Cowboys, and

283
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers. He's a fucking pretty short list. So listen,

284
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: people make fun of Mike McCarthy. I asaw someone you know,

285
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: do people kind of judge him because he's fat? Is

286
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: the look is it? I don't know what it is.

287
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: I my guess would be one issue people have with them.

288
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the Knocks and packed with the Packers.

289
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: It felt like Aaron Rodgers talked down upon him, like

290
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't think he was that smart, and then they broke

291
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: up and they acted like they had a great time together,

292
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: which clearly they did early on. Then it got a

293
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: little weird, and then Rogers made that comment after the

294
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: end of the season. How our society has reflected all

295
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: these coaches on the hot seat. It's like, Aaron, you

296
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: were there when Mike McCarthy got fired in the middle

297
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: of the year. I remember that you lost to Arizona.

298
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: He got fired the next day, it's like, fuck, people

299
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: get fired all the time. Welcome to pro sports players.

300
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: How many players have you seen run out of the building?

301
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? But it was one of

302
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: those sexy little uh press conference quotes that really had

303
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: was the opposite of the truth. And I think Kansas

304
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: City did something pretty interesting. Matt Naggie rolled the dice right.

305
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: He thought his boy Boreganzi was in Tennessee Callahan was

306
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: in some trouble. He's like, I'm not gonna sign an extension.

307
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this out. Steve Spagnola did the same

308
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: thing the year before and will win big and I'm

309
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: either gonna get a huge raise or I'm gonna become

310
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: a head coach. Turns out it neither happened because the

311
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs went six and eleven, so his leverage to get

312
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: a big raise way off the table. If you remember

313
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: last year or in the last couple of years Spagnola,

314
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: I remember the forty nine ers tried to hire him.

315
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: He got a massive raise, one of the highest paid

316
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: coordinators in the league. Matt Naggy the team lost and

317
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: was like, you're not getting to raise here, buddy, And

318
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: then you know, I think he thought he was going

319
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: to Tennessee because we all kind of did. We just

320
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: assumed like that was gonna happen. Honestly, it was a

321
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: little shocking when the headline and the story broke Robert

322
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: saw as the next head coach of the Titans. No

323
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: one was more surprised, probably than Matt Naggie. So now

324
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: you got him interviewed, interviewing in Philly, which I actually

325
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: could see happening when I got hired in Philly. Naggi

326
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: was one of the lowest guys on the totem pole.

327
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: He played college football with Veach in Delaware, was a

328
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: longtime AFL quarterback, worked his way up from a quality

329
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: control guy to a quarterback coach. Obviously he was a

330
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: head coach, so I think one thing getting away from

331
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: Andy could really do wonders for him. And if he

332
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: goes to Philly, a bright light market with a lot

333
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: of people watching, and have success and get Jalen back

334
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: on the right track, he could easily get a head

335
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: coaching job next year. And bringing Eric the enemy back

336
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. I think they also hired Chad O'Shea

337
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver coach who spent a lot of

338
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: years in New England. I think Andy's trying to button

339
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: it up a little bit and get some guys that

340
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: will just get in people. Obviously he knows Eric really well,

341
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: who is just, you know, kind of a throwback coach

342
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: and o'shee coming from the Belichick tree. I think he's

343
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: trying to put a little sense of urgency on the

344
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. One couple. You know, we

345
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: all know these couples that they don't really make that

346
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: much sense. You're like, how did these two people fall

347
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: in love? You're like, I never would have guessed it,

348
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: but they actually have a lot in common, Like politically

349
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: they're on the same page. They enjoy doing the same things.

350
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: But you look at him, You're like, these two people

351
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: really it's like, yeah, they just they just fell in love.

352
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard. Love's a powerful thing. I would

353
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: say that about Mike McDaniel and Jim Harbaugh. If you

354
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: just saw the two of them, they couldn't look any

355
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: more polar opposite. Jim looks like this sixty year old

356
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: former elite athlete. He's a massive dude, just alpha. Mike

357
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: is this five to nine, one hundred and fifty pounds

358
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: soaking wet. Now he's rich, he's wearing Gucci shades, a

359
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars watch, and fucking weird ass pain and

360
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna beat Harbaugh's offensive coordinator. And honestly, it kind

361
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: of makes some sense. They actually, when it comes to football,

362
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: have similar philosophies. Mike McDaniel made his career under Kyle

363
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: with the offensive line coach is the run game guru,

364
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: so from a blocking standpoint in the run game, and

365
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: even when he became the wide receiver coach, you don't block,

366
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: you don't play like. That's a huge thing with the

367
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: forty nine ers and has been throughout Kyle's ten year

368
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: going back to the Shanahan, his dad and the Kubiaks.

369
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: You got a block because they're running offense. And Mike McDaniel,

370
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: he's gone viral before for like coaching clinics. He's big

371
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: on blocking with your wide receivers. What does Jim Harball

372
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: want to do? He wants to run it forty times

373
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: a game. So while they don't look anything alike, Jim

374
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Harball were the same thing every day. Mike has closed

375
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: that most of us couldn't even find on the internet.

376
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: If you gave us three days to look, and I

377
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: think this thing could be good. And if Mike McDaniel,

378
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: if these guys are healthy, the two offensive linemen. They

379
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: just have a first round running back who I didn't

380
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: really see it last year. Now give him an offseason.

381
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Maybe a little overweight, I don't know. He just looked

382
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: kind of slow to me. But they're gonna have some pieces.

383
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: And clearly they have a talented quarterback who a lot

384
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: of people think is kind of underachieved in the biggest

385
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: moments because he has Mike McDaniel could lot like what

386
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: happened to Robert Sahlo this year, gets fired last year

387
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: with the Jets, like Robert Sall kind of sucks, right, Look,

388
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: you can't deal with that situation comes to the forty

389
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: nine ers. Robert Sall is a badass interviewing all over

390
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: the place head coaching job. Like, who's to say that

391
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen with Mike, especially if he can handle and

392
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: things go well with Jim. So just a fascinating marriage.

393
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to watch. Today's show is brought to

424
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: this tweet on I guess it would have been Tuesday

425
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: because Kevin Stefanski said in a press conference about their

426
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. Let me just find the tweet. I don't

427
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: want to screw it up. I think I need a

428
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: new phone because the buttons don't really work. So here

429
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: is the quote tweet from Baker Mayfield. The tweet came

430
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: out from Kevin Stefanski that the Falcons Kevin Stefanski had

431
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire at quarterback in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield and

432
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson failed, which started to chain reaction to the

433
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: other eleven starters. Shador Sanders closed out last season with

434
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: seven starts, and then I guess it was Orlando Ledbetter,

435
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: who's one of like I think the Atlanta Journal Constitution

436
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: kind of a throwback, a big Jay journal for Atlanta's

437
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: big paper. Baker quoted it saying, failed is quite the

438
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: reach pal. Still waiting on a text slash call from

439
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: him after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage.

440
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see you twice a year, coach. Clearly

441
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: there is some bad blood between Baker Mayfield and Kevin Stefanski.

442
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas then later quoted Baker's tweet, saying you could

443
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: have reached out and called him, which I don't think

444
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: that's usually how it goes. But I will say this

445
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: about Kevin Stefanski. I was thinking about Sean McDermott. He

446
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: gets now he clearly had more success in Stefanski. But

447
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: every player on the Bills is I mean, from starting

448
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: players to role players, is posting statements, is posting pictures.

449
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: Clearly his respect in that locker room was running pretty deep.

450
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to follow every Cleveland Brown player. But

451
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a peep being said by anybody. Do

452
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: people like Kevin Stefanski? Like, I know he's smart and

453
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: people keep telling him he's a great offensive mind, but like,

454
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: do the players like him? Kind of important? Like it

455
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: kind of matters? So like, does Baker have a point?

456
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: Didn't call him to tell you I'm gonna trade you? Like,

457
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: who do you think you are? A Belichick? There is

458
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: kind of an arrogance to Stefanski. There's no debating that,

459
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: you know. I know the media loves him. They think

460
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: he's a fucking genius. I was thinking a couple of

461
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: years ago when they won with Flacco, weren't they a

462
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: defensive team? Like, was it Jim Schwartz kind of carrying

463
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: most of the load. I have to go back and

464
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: really break down the stats. But and he'd be like, well,

465
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: look at his quarterback. Well isn't that kind of his

466
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: gig to figure out quarterbacks? I mean, last year in

467
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: the third round, and there's no way they draft a

468
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: third round quarterback without the head coach who is the

469
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: play caller and the quarterback guru, without signing off on him.

470
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: Took a guy that most teams has undraftable. So I

471
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: think this is the Fanski thing. This is nothing against

472
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: him personally, like I I nothing bad to say about him,

473
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: met him one time, nice guy, But when it comes

474
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: to a football coach and the way he handles his business,

475
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just think that he's kind

476
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: of got this like media thing going that there's a Brandon.

477
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: His personality's a lot different than Brandon Staley, but the

478
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: media early on there was support behind him. That feels

479
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: a little bit like that here, and then you read

480
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: quotes like this like you can't even call guys when

481
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: you cut him and trade him, you know, starting quarterbacks.

482
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: I don't blame you practice squad guys. You got bigger

483
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: fish to fry, but kind of embarrassing. It's like, where

484
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: are the players coming out to be like, this is

485
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: one of the best guys I've ever played for. Happens

486
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: all the time. Happened to day Ball when day Ball

487
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: got fired, A bunch of guys came out and they

488
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: weren't even winning. So I don't know. I've got that situation.

489
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: Red flag props the Baker for toxes of shit. We

490
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: need more of that. And last but not least on

491
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: this rapid fire, which I wouldn't know if it's a

492
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: rapid fire, went like thirty minutes. The forty nine ers

493
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: like a bunch of teams do Most teams do the

494
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: coach and the GM sometimes just the coach. They kind

495
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: of give an end of the year a little presser

496
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: to the media, and there was a lot going on,

497
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: and one question that just had to be asked, is

498
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: a substation thing? Now? One thing I was hoping for,

499
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: just because I think it would be such an explosive topic,

500
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: would if one of the Super Bowl teams was practicing

501
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: there and refused to practice there because of the substation.

502
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: But someone told me today that I think the two

503
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: teams one practice stamp for one practice San Jose, So

504
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: I don't even think anyone practices on the Niners field.

505
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: So it'll be a non topic in a couple of

506
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: weeks for the individual two teams to make the Super Bowl.

507
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: But John Lynz did acknowledge it, and it's something they

508
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: have looked at and they're gonna have to look at

509
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: more because it is a topic. I've been saying this,

510
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: it's not going away. And I saw Dante Whitner say

511
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: the number one the only thing that matters this offseason

512
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: is figuring out how to state keep your guys healthy

513
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: Like that is the niners number one priority, and it

514
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: should be number two, number three, number four, number five.

515
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: How do we keep the players that we have on

516
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: the fucking field because if we don't, we will not win.

517
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. They definitely benefited a little bit

518
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: from a little easier schedule this year with some of

519
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: their injuries. If they were playing better teams week in

520
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: week out, it would have been much more difficult. Given

521
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: the team they were rolling out fully healthy, that hell,

522
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: they might have won the Super Bowl. They probably would have,

523
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: or at least been I had a much better effort

524
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: against Seattle, but they got no chance the group they

525
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: were rolling out. And it all gets back to all

526
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: these achilles, all these acls, all these injuries. So I

527
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: don't know where to even start when it comes to

528
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: the study. But they better dive deep into it and

529
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: figure some things out and figure him out quick. They

530
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge that Brandon Ayuk will never play for the forty

531
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: nine ers again, and I would guess that his trademarket

532
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: will be As Mike Dunleevy said about kamingas if a

533
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: guy has a trade request, there needs to be a market.

534
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: If not, there is no way to fulfill the trade request.

535
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: It takes two to tango right, and Brandon Ayuk's situation

536
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers really just became a disaster

537
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: and then pretty sad. As Kyle Shanahan said, in his

538
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: twenty two years of coaching, he's never not been able

539
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: to have a player just go dark on him. It's

540
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: on his own team. They can't get a hold of him.

541
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: I clearly, mentally it feels like he's not in a

542
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: good place. The videos went viral of him speeding around,

543
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: but just a pretty sad story. And as John said,

544
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way around. It's pretty embarrassing for

545
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: the Niners. And clearly they have a regret of not

546
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: pulling the trigger last year when they could have traded him.

547
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: They should have traded him before the draft, but they

548
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: were in this Super Bowl or bus mode and they

549
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: thought they could have their cake and eat it too,

550
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: and it blew up in their face. Now, no one

551
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: would have saw this coming, but it came, and now

552
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: it's here and they're gonna have to cut him. Luckily

553
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: for them, for whatever reason, he didn't fight the money

554
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: and they were able to get back twenty five million

555
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: dollars of bonus money. They a couple other things. Mac Jones,

556
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: who I think is gonna be a sexy name to

557
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: kind of be a bridge quarterback like a Daniel Jones

558
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: was last year. Kyle Shanahan said today like, I'd be

559
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: stunned if he's not on the team, And to me,

560
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: what he's saying is like, obviously there are prices that

561
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: you can't turn down for just about anyone in the NFL,

562
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: but Mac Jones has a lot of value to us.

563
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: Perty's been hurt before, he's proven he can win games

564
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: with us. We're not just giving them to someone because

565
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: and he's a cheat back up fourth round pick. Here's

566
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. To me, I think it would take a

567
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: top fifty pick for the forty nine ers to entertain

568
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: getting rid of them. I really do, because his value

569
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: to them is stronger than some late third round, fourth

570
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: round pick. And I don't know if another team would

571
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: do that. So my guess is there's probably truth to

572
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: what Kyle saying. I'd be surprised if Mac Jones is

573
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: not on this team because his value to us, and

574
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: what we would need to part with them to any

575
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: team that just needed a fill in quarterback is probably

576
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: more than they're willing to pay for this guy who's

577
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: really is on a one year contract as well. But

578
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: you never know, right, you never know. Desperation is a

579
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: powerful thing quarterbacks and quarterback needs clearly pop up every

580
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Look how many teams have nothing at quarterback that just

581
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: need something serviceable. And he's a name to watch. But

582
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: think about if I told you your team just gave

583
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: up pick forty. And again, I don't know who's drafting forty,

584
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: so I'm just put an arbitrary team in there picked

585
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: forty four for mac Jones, Like, huh, it's a little rich.

586
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley will more than likely be Robert Sala's feeling.

587
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: And I think clearly when they hired Robert Sala, they

588
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: knew at best they were gonna have him a couple

589
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: of years that he was gonna get rehired, and they

590
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: were right, and he got hired, probably faster than they wanted.

591
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: But they also brought Gus to basically as anyone that

592
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: listened to Haberman, like he would eat lunch, like those

593
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: guys would always be together they are very very close.

594
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Gus hired Robert Sala when he was the coach of

595
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jags as linebacker coach, so that's where Kyle

596
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: got him from. And you know, when you hire these

597
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: guys who are kind of rocket ships. And I'm not

598
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: acting like Saul is a rocket ship in the sense

599
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: of like some future star head coach, but in terms

600
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: of you know you're not gonna be able to keep it,

601
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: does behoove you to kind of have a repla around

602
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: and training with him, even if it's a guy that

603
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: has experience and may have his own ways, but just

604
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: get him together and have him learn what you like.

605
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: So it's an easy transition because I don't think Kyle

606
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: wanted to go outside the building again like Steve Wilks,

607
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: because that blew up in his face. Okay, let's go

608
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: mail back at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the

609
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Instagram fire and those dms get your questions answered right

610
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: here on the show. We will start with Aaron big Fan,

611
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: keep up the good work like this guy, Eagles fan,

612
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: fresh off the loss. Eagles offense has been incompetent all year,

613
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: so this loss was pretty predictable. Question. I'm stealing this

614
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: observation from my brother, but I think it's a good one. Listen,

615
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: I still takes from my wife or friends on text

616
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: all the time that we use on the podcast, never

617
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: even credit him. You don't even need to credit, just

618
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: steal the take as your own. The Eagles are in

619
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: a cycle of playing well, losing their OC, playing bad

620
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: under a new OC, and then getting a new OC

621
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: and playing good again. And my brother made the point

622
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: that this is a direct result of Siriani being a

623
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: CEO coach. Since he's not the head coach NC like

624
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: a Shanahan or Andy Reid, He's totally dependent on his

625
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator every year, whereas guys like Andy and Kyle

626
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: don't lose their OC when they are good because they

627
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: are the OC. I think you can see this a

628
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: bit with other teams like John harbad, Dan Campbell, and

629
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: other CEO head coaches. I saw Brandon Bean make a

630
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: really good point today and he said that at the

631
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: end of the day, the first thing you need to

632
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: do when hiring a coach, whether they're a play caller

633
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: or not, is get a good leader, because their role

634
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: as the head coach is unlike anything they've done as

635
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: a coordinator. Best case scenario, you get the guy that

636
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: can handle all the controversy. That's line is way because

637
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: every day as a head coach, from injuries to internal

638
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: fighting with coaches, with players, to duys to arrest to

639
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: you name it, that all falls on your desk. Think about,

640
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: like I'm at my desk right now, or you're at

641
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: your desk right now listening, and shit just hits the fan.

642
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: In whatever you're doing for a living, that comes immediately

643
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: to you depending on what you do, Like, there could

644
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: be problems you don't have to mess with. It's nice

645
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm looking not my issue when you're a

646
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: head coach, there is no that's not my issue. Problem

647
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: in the training room, problem in the equipment room, fucked

648
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: up in the cafeteria, like it kind of gets back

649
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: to you. So I, Sirianni, just like all the other

650
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: CEO head coaches, they have to deal with all that stuff.

651
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: But so does Kyle Shamahan, So do Sean Payton, so

652
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: does Sean McVay. In a perfect world you get both.

653
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: There's just not that many of those guys. So if

654
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: you hire the bad coach in terms of to call

655
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: your play or the wrong coach, you're just screwed. That's

656
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: the reality with the CEO head coach. But it's no

657
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: different like with these offensive coaches. If Andy Reid had

658
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: hired the wrong defensive coordinator, they probably don't have three

659
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. But he hires Bags and his defense got

660
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: dramatically better and they started rattling them off. Right Like

661
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. If Mike McDaniel is really good and all

662
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden the Chargers in the AFC Championship Game

663
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: next year, he's gonna look like a genius. But at

664
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: their offense, which I'd be stunned if it does, but

665
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: gets worse, he's gonna get shit out because Harbaugh is

666
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: just a CEO head coach. Look at Dan Campbell this

667
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: year hired Johnny Morton. So it's just there's an element

668
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: of luck. I mean, like how well your players respond

669
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: to the coach. It's unknown, honestly, hiring a coach a

670
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: little like a draft pick. No one knew who Ben

671
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: Johnson was five years ago, but surely Dan saw it

672
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: in him, liked him, knew he was impressive, and they

673
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: gave him a shot and they never looked back. I

674
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: remember when the Bears initially resigned Dj Moore to the extension,

675
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: you brought up cost certainty and the value in knowing

676
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: exactly how much a player will be paid in future seasons.

677
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: With that in mind, most people have been saying, since

678
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: the Bears have an abundance of weapons, they should trade

679
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: more for picks or defensive help. Do you think it

680
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: would make sense to keep DJ and trade Rome or

681
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: Rome is currently on a cheap rookie deal around the

682
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: same time as Caleb, Rome will be getting a new

683
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: deal that will definitely be more than DJ's current contract. Plus,

684
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 1: since Rome is younger and a rookie deal, we could

685
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: get more back downside, as Rome seems to have a

686
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: better all connection with Caleb than DJ does. In your opinion,

687
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: which is better? I want to do really quick, bring

688
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: up Rome missed a bunch of games with injuries. So

689
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: if I go to the Bears and I go to

690
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: the stat page, the leading receiver for the Chicago Bears

691
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: is the postseason. Let's go regular season. It's what I

692
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: would have guessed Colson Lovelin, who had fifty eight catches,

693
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: six touchdown. That's a great rookie season. Seven of your

694
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: yard I'm that guy, and I bet it really blew

695
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: up towards the end. DJ had fifty for six and

696
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: Rome had forty four for six, And both of them

697
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: had similar yards, and both of them had DJ's a

698
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: little lower on the yards per catch. They both have

699
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: similar yards after catch. That's a great question. I think

700
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: you make them in a weird way, both available and

701
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: just see what the market is for them both, I

702
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: would guess. I mean DJ Moore he's got to be

703
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: a close to thirty. He's twenty eight. He'll be twenty

704
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: nine next season. Rome's age and just how you know

705
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: recently he was drafted he'll be twenty four next season.

706
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: Probably has more value. But I mean this is a

707
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: guy two years into his career. Like I he was

708
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: drafted ninth. Overall, you're not getting a first round pick

709
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: for Roma Dunay right now. So would you trade him

710
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: for a second when DJ Moore or would you rather

711
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: have his cheap contract for another couple more years? You

712
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: do have to decide next year, I you're gonna pick

713
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: up his fifth year option. You know, DJ, I would

714
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: imagine is under contract for a couple more years. Yeah,

715
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: it's complicated. I think you make them both available, and

716
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: you just kind of see what the market is for both.

717
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: I would guess that DJ Moore at twenty eight, twenty eight,

718
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: that's his cap hit the next couple of years. It's

719
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: a little complicated. I mean, I guess you could get

720
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: DJ an extension if you're another team. Rome would have

721
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: more value just because he's younger and teams would have

722
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: had really high draft picks on him or high draft

723
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: grades on him. So I think you can probably get

724
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: a second round pick for romadonsday. DJ probably not given

725
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: his age, third contract, declining production, not all his fault,

726
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: but Rome would have more value on the open market.

727
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of risky, like you trade him and he

728
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: goes on to be really good somewhere else. It's hard

729
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: to kind of justify that the pressure. Let's just say

730
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: you trade him for some pick in the fifties. If

731
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: you nail like a starting middle linebacker, no one will care.

732
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: I've been getting a lot of these questions. I'm from

733
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: New Zealand. I'm wondering if a show can be watched

734
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: on the New Zealand version of Netflix. It's not what

735
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: the best way to watch listen to your show? If not,

736
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: what is the best way. Well, I didn't realize this,

737
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: which I guess makes sense. I thought everyone like if

738
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: I was in London, or I was in New Zealand,

739
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: or I was in Australia or Brazil, I would just

740
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: watch Netflix. But I guess every Netflix is different depending

741
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: on the country, and right now our broadcast or our

742
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: episodes are only hosted on Netflix USA. I have a

743
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: little running notepad that I'm probably gonna wait like a

744
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: month to fire to my The Netflix people who have

745
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: been really cool. I mean they sent me baby stuff.

746
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: It's headphones and all sorts of stuff. But must be

747
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: doing hopefully pretty well that I have some ideas. Obviously

748
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: they're getting new to the game. I've been in the

749
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: podcast game for a decade, so I didn't know that

750
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: till last week when people reached out. We have an

751
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: international audience, which is cool, but right now it's only

752
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: in Netflix America. This is a podcast, so it's Apple Spotify.

753
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: That's how this whole thing started, and that's our business

754
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: model started with the audio. We've shifted the video and audio,

755
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: but Apple Spotify. You can listen anywhere in the world,

756
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: but right now, video wise, only Netflix America, which again

757
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: It never crossed my mind that that even I just

758
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: assumed Netflix was just Netflix. Can we make a deal

759
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: for next season. Let's agree to only call Herbert the

760
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: Charger starting quarterback until he wins a playoff game. I

761
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: can't unsee it anymore. Regular season hero and then turns

762
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: into playoff zero. He's like the James Harden to quarterbacks,

763
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: you can only put up three points versus the Patriots.

764
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: It's not like he was playing the two Bucks. The

765
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: New England defense I'm sure is respectable, but the players

766
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: on it, even Madden enthusiasts enthusiasts, can't name Herbert. Excuse me.

767
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: The Chargers started quarterback is on the second contract and

768
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: as multiple postseason flops, and before you give me all

769
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: the reasons and excuses in the world, the franchise quarterback

770
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: overcomes problems and deficiencies, So just giving us a list

771
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: proves my point. Heck, even Party won a playoff game

772
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: after losing Kittle in quarter one. There's no disputing Party

773
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: like has Like. If you're just talking like Clutch and

774
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: coming through, you have more faith in brock Purty than

775
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: you do justin Herbert. Listen, he's s why Harbaugh just

776
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: hired a guy that wears capris and Gucci sunglasses. You know,

777
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: when you think Jim Harbaugh, you don't think Mike McDaniel

778
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: little desperation because Megan Justin Herbert look good is really

779
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: really important. So there is a lot of pressure on

780
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel and Justin Herbert next year. And it really

781
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: starts with Justin Herbert. Mike McDaniel made to it look good?

782
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: Think about that? To what look good? Any lead the

783
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: league in passing? Like three years ago before we got

784
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: ct Hey, John, big fan of the podcast from Australia,

785
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Breath of Fresh Air hearing it takes? Can you confirm

786
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: your video content will be available on Netflix international markets?

787
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: If not? Yeah, international, We're not international right now. So

788
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: I have some thoughts. Like I've said, I have a

789
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: little notepad, I got a lot of no pads going

790
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: Dad diary, notepads, takes, notepads, Netflix idea, no pads read

791
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: Hastings should just hit me up because I've I know

792
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: this podcast world well started from zero. Now we're here,

793
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: so I have a pretty good idea of what works

794
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: and doesn't. But even just basic things that I've just

795
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: kind of kept an eye on because I just you

796
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: guys reach out to me. I'm part of my grassroots

797
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: research comes from comes from DMPs and people hitting me

798
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: up things I haven't thought about, and then I turned

799
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: them into take some of my own. So I appreciate

800
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: you guys, couch for the back. Ben Johnson obsession with

801
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: Collin shotgun runs on third and short. All the conversation

802
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: is gonna be around this fourth down decision, but its

803
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: third down calls are horrendous. I feel like he gets

804
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: stuck in his head four down territory. I hate shotgun runs.

805
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: I hate not running Caleb. I just Ben Johnson was

806
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: a stud this year. But I'm with you. I think

807
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: the obsession with going forward on fourth down there should

808
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: never be a time in your life besides like I

809
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: treat people well right or be nice to people like

810
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: something that never changes. You should always be open to

811
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: different ideas. And I believe that Ben Johnson and Dan

812
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: Campbell whenever they decided in a meeting room years ago

813
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: in Detroit that no matter what we go was something

814
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 1: that they believe to their soul that they haven't even

815
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: thought about changing, which to me is crazy. It's like

816
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: the math, guys, there's no convincing him that they could

817
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: be wrong. It's like, guys, we're not on an Excel spreadsheet.

818
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: These are human beings. No, I'm telling you this is

819
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: no matter what. No, no, guys, this is not a

820
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: good idea. Plus, if you are gonna go for it,

821
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: you have this quarterback who is built like a tank

822
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: and can fucking fly. Why don't you run him? I

823
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: do not, And I'm not trying to act like I

824
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: know more football than Ben Johnson. I think Ben Johnson's

825
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: a stut like he's even today his press conference was like,

826
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: can you build on next year? He's like, there's no

827
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: building on next year? And he's right. You start back

828
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: at square one every single year. Now you build on

829
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: it because your player's improved. But like you go to OTAs,

830
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: you just start back at running the most basic plays

831
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: and then build your way up. That's what the Patriots do,

832
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: That's what the Chiefs do. That's what Ben John's gonna do.

833
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: So and plus the average turnover in the NFL roster wise,

834
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: this is not the NBA. I mean, most people are

835
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: anywhere between twenty five to thirty five percent. Some teams,

836
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: if you get new coaches will like flip half the roster.

837
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: So the turnover is immns in football, cap casualties, trades,

838
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: new draft picks, so you just get brand new players.

839
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's not the same team. They're gonna be

840
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: guys like DJ Moore could just not be there, Cole

841
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: Komet could just not be there. Right. Uh, They're gonna

842
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: have brand new players on defense. So from square one, like,

843
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of true. What was your question? Oh the upset.

844
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why he doesn't run Caleb they

845
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: did with Josh Allen a quarterback power, Like, why wouldn't

846
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: you just install a quarterback power because the other thing

847
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: is Caleb smart? Like it when the last time Caleb

848
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: took a big hit, It's not like he's getting molly

849
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: wopped running around. I don't get it. Do you know

850
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: if Netflix plans on making popodst user friendly, I can't

851
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: lock my screen and listen like I used to. I

852
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: took a screenshot of this question for the mailbag because

853
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: I was confused. I can listen to my I listened

854
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: to the Tom Brady interview with the spit and chick

855
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: Lick guys, just like I would on the other platforms

856
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: or even a podcast form. I clicked it off and

857
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: it would just use press play and you listening in

858
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: your pocket. I did that last week, and I've had

859
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: my team. We all looked at everyone's doing it. So

860
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: when I saw this, you can lock your phone and

861
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: listen to it. It stops sometimes immediately and then just

862
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: hit play and it shows up with my iPhone. It does,

863
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: so I have not had an issue with that. Yeah,

864
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: that's that would be my take on that thought. If

865
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: you were Woody Johnson, wouldn't you be begging Bill and

866
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: Josh to come to the Jets? Well, why would Josh?

867
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: I think you're me and Josh McDaniels. Why would Josh

868
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: ever get with Bill? Again? Bill's a sinking ship like

869
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: part of life, you know, in the real world in business, like,

870
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: once you disassociate with something that's going the wrong way,

871
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: like you don't run back to it, and once you

872
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: get involved in something that's working, you kind of double

873
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: down in it. So to me, Josh, even if he

874
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: had the opportunity, would be out of his mind to

875
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: join Belichick with the Jets and leave rabel in May.

876
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: I personally think Belichick's unhireable, I really do. I didn't

877
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: say that a year ago, a lot's changed. This year

878
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: in North Carolina was a complete embarrassment. It really was,

879
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: and part of it's her, but like she's part of

880
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: him now that there's no way around it, you have

881
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: this like seventy five year old former legend that has

882
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: lost his fastball and we just saw I think the

883
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll situation makes it even worse. Bill's a huge

884
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 1: ego guy. I think Bill is untouchable. I really do.

885
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: And it's crazy to say. I'm not a Belichick hater.

886
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: I idolize the Patriots in terms of like how they

887
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: ran anyone I've ever met there, I always just pepper

888
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: them with questions, fascinated by it. I think what they

889
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: stood for and did for twenty years is one of

890
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: the coolest things in my sports watching career. And Bill

891
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: and anyone that will tell you that was around there

892
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: is a main driver of it, but that cars crashed

893
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: and that thing's over. I hear you and Colin say

894
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Trevor does not have a great arm in terms of strength,

895
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: but not saying I disagree, But what specifically makes y'all

896
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: say that. I get that he doesn't have a rocket

897
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: like Caleb on a consistent basis, But I feel like

898
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: you can make every throw. Not having a big arm

899
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't make every throw. Dak Prescott can

900
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: make every throw. And when you say every throw, I

901
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: don't mean ad lib on the run Caleb throws. I

902
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: just mean can you throw the deep out? Can you

903
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: throw the deep post? Can you throw a go route? Like?

904
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: Alex Smith could make every throw, Kirk Cousins could make

905
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: every throw, Josh Allen, Patrick, Mahomes, Caleb, you know, Kyler Murray.

906
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: Some of these guys just do it much better with

907
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: much more power. So Trevor has a fine arm. Trevor

908
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: has like most quarterbacks in the NFL, good arm, Like

909
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: he has an NFL standard. You can function with it.

910
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: And when he really lets it rip, like he can

911
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: drive throws. Was it the playoff game that he drove

912
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: the throw in the back of the end zone? It

913
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: was a dot. I wouldn't say as if we're ranking

914
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: one to ten right in fives, just kind of middle

915
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 1: ground like zero or one would be like Dylan Gabriel,

916
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, four or five would be like Alex Smith,

917
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: seven would be like Baker Mayfield. Right, I'd say like nine, ten.

918
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: Once you start getting Mahomes and Josh and Caleb and

919
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: guys like Farv Peyton Manning was like a four or five.

920
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: You don't need a great arm to be a great player.

921
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: I would say Trevor probably is a sick would be

922
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that. What do you think

923
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: of Amazon bringing back Al Michaels to call their games? Uh,

924
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football? It's really important, I think to the

925
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: league to have Thursday Night and Monday Night be a

926
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: big deal. So years ago when the Monday Night Crew

927
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: when grew to went back to the Raiders, it fell apart,

928
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: and ESPN took a lot of pressure from the NFL

929
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: of like, you got to fix this. If you want

930
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, if you want our best games, this gotta

931
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: be big league. It cannot be little league. So what

932
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: did ESPN do? They gave like thirty million dollars a

933
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: year combined? Was Troy make like eighteen? Buck makes twelve

934
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: for Fox's number one team? What did Amazon do when

935
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: they first got the NFL? They hired Al Michaels, one

936
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: of the most legendary play by play guys ever, so

937
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: a big dame. The problem is Marv Albert is one

938
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: of the greatest play by play guys as well. At

939
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: the end, Marv couldn't see what was going on. And

940
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: basketball is different than football. But I remember watching so

941
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: many games on TNT and like Marv's lost it. It's

942
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: like Linscombe used to throw ninety seven. Now he throws

943
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: eighty two, and Marv was throwing about fifty. I don't

944
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: know if I was throwing fifty. But he doesn't have

945
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: his fastball anymore, which is understandable. He's in his eighties.

946
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: So I think that broadcast. I don't think anyone would

947
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:38,720
Speaker 1: complain if you just hired Guy Haberman and some famous player,

948
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, I know Philip wouldn't do it, Drew Brees, whatever,

949
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: it'd be fine. But I think the star power of

950
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: Al Michaels is something like clearly they really like, which

951
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: I would totally understand if Al was still in his

952
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: prime and his prime went pretty long. But his prime's over.

953
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: And I've you know, studied broadcasters, and I don't I

954
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: mean like podcasters or even radio hosts, but watching guys

955
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: career in people he has to kind of navigate through

956
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: and try to get jobs. They never give it up.

957
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: Play by play guys never give up the mic. Greg

958
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: Papa fought leukemia, fought leukemia literally during the football season

959
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: and still came back for a game. That's just the

960
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 1: way they're wired. Because in play by play gigs, if

961
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: someone else sits there, it's not like Al was like, yeah,

962
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: just filled by spot like he did any thinking like that,

963
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: And at this point in time is Al Michaels need

964
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: the money. So I just think it's the wiring of

965
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: play by play people. They will never give up the microphone.

966
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: Radio people when I worked in radio, are kind of

967
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: like that, like they were uncomfortable taking vacation because guess

968
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: what happens someone fills in for you. What happens then, well,

969
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: what if the rating book goes up? That's how I

970
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: got hired in radio. I filled in and the timeslot

971
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: I filled in did really well ratings wise. So my

972
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: boss it's not like he cared or liked me anymore

973
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: than the next guy, but it was just a numbers thing.

974
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: He's like, well, if I make this guy the host,

975
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: we could do a higher number. So, you know, play

976
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 1: by play guys not based necessarily on that, but people

977
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: just don't give up the mic. So I would love

978
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,959
Speaker 1: someone else in there. But they're very loyal to this crew,

979
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: which I just I like Herbstreet on College. I don't

980
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: really want to watch him on Thursday night. It has

981
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: nothing against him. I just would like an NFL guy there.

982
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: Maybe I discriminate against him because I view him as

983
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: a Saturday guy, but it kind of matters to me,

984
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: and I don't just need any I just would ideally

985
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: like someone good. The problem is they tried. Remember they

986
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: tried years ago. They thought they'd get Sean McVay or

987
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: John Lynch, and they turned They offered a both like

988
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars. They both turned it down. Sean almost went,

989
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: which if he wins the Super Bowl, he will one

990
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: not regret. Huge fan. I started my first office job

991
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and discovering your podcast gets me through.

992
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: Appreciate you listening while you're grinding in the office. I

993
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: know the seventeenth game is a rotating interconference game based

994
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: on previous years standings, but I think it was major

995
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: missed opportunity by the NFL. It would have been a

996
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 1: lot cooler if they made it a set interconference opponent

997
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: each year, like Added Arrival. There are already so many

998
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: natural AFC NFC rivalries Dallas, Houston, Philly, Pittsburgh, jess Giants,

999
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: et cetera. Any non natural matchups would immediately become natural

1000
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: rival due to familiarity. They could even play twice in

1001
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: years that the divisional rotations run into each other. I

1002
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: didn't know if you realize that, to me is the

1003
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: reason they don't do it. You can't. They wouldn't want

1004
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: an intercom or you know, AFC NFC matchup twice in

1005
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: a season, so you play. If I'm Dallas, I play

1006
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: Houston every four once every four years, right, it rotates.

1007
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: I play all the divisions on a rotating basis. Well

1008
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: the year when I play the AFC South, if I'm

1009
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: the NFC East, I can't be playing the Texans twice.

1010
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: I can't go like Giants, Texans, Eagles, Commanders, Texans like that. That.

1011
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: You can't. The league ain't gonna do that because I

1012
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: don't know if there are enough. Right, Okay, you brought

1013
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: up some good ones. You go Niners, Raiders, You could

1014
00:55:53,640 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: go Jags or Dolphins, Bucks. I mean you could, but

1015
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: what does Seattle do? What does what does Arizona do?

1016
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: What does you know? You start going like Minnesota, Like

1017
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it gets a little more

1018
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: complicated with some of the teams. I hear what you're saying.

1019
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: It would be cool if the Jets and the Giants

1020
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: and the Chargers in the RAMS, the Niners and the

1021
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Cowboys and the Texans played every year.

1022
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: But that's just that's never gonna happen because, like you said,

1023
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: the divisional rotation, you couldn't have a season where they

1024
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: played each other twice. Can you imagine if we had

1025
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: to watch the Jets and the Giants twice this year?

1026
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: Holy shit? How do player incentives work? Do teams have

1027
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: a set money aside and separate from the salary cap

1028
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 1: to account for the season incentives? I think they. I'm

1029
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: pretty sure they roll over the following year. So if

1030
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: you pay, let's just pick a number five million dollars

1031
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 1: incentives to all your different players, right, let's say it's ten.

1032
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: It rolls over to the cap the following year. Is to

1033
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 1: my knowledge, because obviously most teams are against the cap

1034
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: on the given season, so it doesn't stay on that cap.

1035
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: It's it rolls over to the next year. Question for

1036
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 1: the pod, do you plan on doing a preseason preview

1037
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: on go Lo expectation for the majors, new names to

1038
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: look out for any chance. The PGA just lets Kopka

1039
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: back in right away. I just with the baby, the

1040
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: go Lo. We have separated it different podcast feed on

1041
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: the audio and we have a video platform as well.

1042
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: I just haven't had any time. You know. They kicked

1043
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: off last week the Sony Open. Chris got her up.

1044
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: Who was incredible. He looks pretty good, just won. This

1045
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: week they're playing in Pump Springs. Scotti's in the field.

1046
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: I will plan on. Usually I get kicked up with

1047
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: golf right after the super Bowl. It's just I mean,

1048
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm kind of bored. I would have done it today,

1049
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: but I just I gotta be with my family, gotta

1050
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: be present with my son. I just haven't had much time,

1051
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: but I've been following. I was looking at like, uh,

1052
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, Max Home is like one hundred and twenty

1053
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: to one. I'm like, did I take him top ten?

1054
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: Like ten to one? So I had the Sony Open

1055
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: on last week in the office with the football game,

1056
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: I just I will do some stuff probably in a

1057
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, for sure. I'm a big fan. All

1058
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: My older brother just had his first child at Christmas,

1059
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: and I brought him a tiny Dallas Cowboy jersey as

1060
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm a Cowboy fan myself and want him to join.

1061
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: The misery question, if you had to choose the NFL

1062
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: team for your newborn, who would you choose? Make a

1063
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: pick taking into account future success prospects, not jumping on

1064
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: the bandwagon. I'm a big believer, and happens organically, Like

1065
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: why did I grow up liking the San Fransco Giants,

1066
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: the San Fransco forty nine Ers, the Sacramento Kinks Because

1067
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: I grew up in Davis, California. Right if I would

1068
00:58:51,840 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: have been born in Lancaster or Pennsylvania or Hoboken, New Jersey,

1069
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: I would have gravitated toward the Eagles, the Giants, the Mets,

1070
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: the Phillies. What most human beings are a product of

1071
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: where they live. Now, that's where I draw the fucking line.

1072
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let my son be an Arizona Cardinal fan

1073
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: if there was money coming my way. That will not

1074
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: be tolerated. Unless the Bidwell family sells, we get a

1075
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: real guy that then we could be open. But I

1076
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: can't control what he likes. With who's to say that

1077
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: he even likes sports. I hope he does, but there's

1078
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: no guarantee. What if he likes you know, my brother's

1079
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: like big duck Hunter just wan duck hunting and Ido

1080
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: like this stuff that I don't like. You just never know,

1081
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: kid the kid, what people are gonna gravitate toward what

1082
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna like. We all have different likes than our

1083
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: own siblings, so I don't know. I mean, what if

1084
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: he likes to paint, hope he's fucking Picasso. I hope

1085
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: he likes football. I definitely hope he likes golf so

1086
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: we can play a lot and get out of the house.

1087
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Uh be awesome. I won't even need an excuse for

1088
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: like me and Jacker head of the course. But there's

1089
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: just no guarantee. I mean shit, I was reading them

1090
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: a book today. I had to have explained. Shows you

1091
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: how out of the loop I am with kids. The

1092
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: black and white books. You know, they don't see color.

1093
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: So I was just reading them the book like here's

1094
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: the fish, here's the star. And she looks at me.

1095
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: She's like, you know, you have to put that in

1096
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: front of his face so he can see the pictures.

1097
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, new, dad didn't know that but so

1098
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: I did that. You know, it's like here's the shark.

1099
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: You just never know. We got a long way to go.

1100
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: We're not even seven days into this bad boy, but

1101
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Cardinal's not allowed. I'd be open to whatever. I would

1102
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: tend to lean in pro sports. Just there's no I

1103
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: mean football, you never know. I mean it's by the

1104
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,959
Speaker 1: time he's ten, Josh Allen will be retired. I would

1105
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: like him to be something fun. Quick question. Do you

1106
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: think the future we'll see more teams opt to fire

1107
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: their current non offensive head coach in lieu of the

1108
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: whiz kid offensive coordinator. Lions are missing Ben Johnson, they

1109
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: had him in the building. I think it's easier said

1110
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: than done, Like, what are you gonna do? Fire Dan Campbell?

1111
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Last year after being the number one seed? What are

1112
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Fire? You know? I mean, is Kellen

1113
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Moore even a better coach than Sirianni? But okay, Kellen

1114
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: Moore over Sirianni. It's Todd Bowles last year they were

1115
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Youre gonna fire him? For Liam Cohen.

1116
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: I think it's way easier said than done. I really

1117
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: do so. I it will happen. There will be a

1118
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: situation where it happens. I just think it's very, very difficult.

1119
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 1: If like you were just in the AFC Championship game,

1120
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: you're like, our guy's a whiz kid, He's gonna get hired.

1121
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look, look at the Falcons. Do you think

1122
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: years ago, like looking back, they should have just hired

1123
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. But how are you gonna hire Kyle Shanahan

1124
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: fire Dan Quinn. I mean, it happens constantly. I just

1125
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: think it's easier said than done, and it's also easier

1126
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: after the fact. Question for the bail back whether there's

1127
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: truly a dominant team in college basketball, we always ask

1128
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: the question, could they beat an NBA team? Could it happened?

1129
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: And it seems the answer is always unequivocally no. I'm

1130
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: wondering if this is the same for college football. As

1131
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: dominant as Indiana has been this season and especially in

1132
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, would they or any dominant college team like

1133
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: nineteen LSU with Burrow have a chance to win a

1134
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: game against an awful NFL team like this year's Titans,

1135
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Raiders Jets. I think it depends if you told me

1136
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the end of the year, for like a one or

1137
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: two year win team and their players are injured, and

1138
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: you're rolling out a bunch of practice squad guys and

1139
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: you gave me an all time great college team. It

1140
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: would have to be loaded both sides of the ball

1141
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: with pros. I would say, yeah, I'd give you a

1142
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: shot now week one, when people are healthy like the Raiders.

1143
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: The Raiders are drafting number one. Week one, the Raiders

1144
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: fully healthy, Brock Bauers, Max Crosby, Gino Smith, Jacoby Myers,

1145
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: Ashon Genty. The Indiana would get killed. Max Crosby would

1146
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: dominate that game. How would they cover brock Bowers In

1147
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: fair to people in the NFL, can't cover Indiana's you

1148
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: know that corner that is he a small school guy

1149
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: like Kent State or whatever. They got pretty good. But

1150
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: think about this, Miami in that game would actually have

1151
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: a better chance than Indiana. Why because they have way

1152
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: more pros on the offensive indefensive line. The crazy part

1153
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: about Indiana is beside Mendoza, some people will say they

1154
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: don't have a top one hundred player, Sarat going in

1155
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: the top seventy five, the corners five to nine, probably not.

1156
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if the left tackles coming out, Who's

1157
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line of the year. Most people view him

1158
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: as a guard. Running backs are solid, but what are

1159
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: they third day picks, so they're probably a bad example.

1160
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Some of like the Sweet Ohio State teams LSU, I

1161
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: don't think it was good enough on defense. Bama would

1162
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: probably be. You'd need defense as much as offense. Like

1163
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: if you had a great offense like LSU, but your

1164
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: defense they had Stingley, but and I think they had

1165
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen too, you wouldn't need you know, bamad teams

1166
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: where or Georgia. It's like nine of our guys were

1167
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: first rounders and had ten year careers in the NFL,

1168
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: and four of them were Pro Bowlers. But again, you

1169
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: would have to play the worst team at the end

1170
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: of the year when they all their backups and practicall

1171
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: guys were playing like the Jets. There's no way Indiana

1172
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 1: or Miami could beat the Jets week one. I mean

1173
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: week one, they had Sauce, they had Quinn Williams, they

1174
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: had Garrett Wilson, they had Breise Hall, even justin Field's

1175
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: running around. They had multiple high picks on their offensive line,

1176
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: multiple pass rushers. You'd have no chance. But like who

1177
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: won India you think Indiana could Jeffrey Simmons on the Titans,

1178
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: But at the end of the year, when they're playing

1179
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: with a bunch of guys that aren't gonna be in

1180
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: the NFL next year. Yeah, I'd be open to it.

1181
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: I really would. NBA, I think it would be a

1182
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: lot harder, but look at the NBA now, a third

1183
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: of the league is tanking. When I was the cafeteria

1184
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: was like downstairs it was actually actually was pretty shitty.

1185
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: At the hospital. There were Starbucks down there as well.

1186
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: When I was walking, I saw Lamello Ball actually walked

1187
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: by twice and immediately think, like, are the Suns trading

1188
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: for this guy? Could I be Sham's right now and

1189
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: break news? And I think he was just getting his

1190
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: ankle check because they were in LA one day and

1191
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: then Golden State the following day, so maybe stopped in

1192
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: Phoenix at the hospital. I don't know, but it was

1193
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: something I was like, that's LaMelo Ball way bigger in person,

1194
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: like that's a big fucking dude. Say this about LeVar

1195
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: gotta produce some kids. A couple of NBA players and

1196
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: a rapper. Props to the LeVar Ball audios. Talk to

1197
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: you later. The volume
