Let's start with Thomas. I'm trying 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: to better understand the draft process. I see reports of 25 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: scouts saying that a are I think that is the 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: quarterback from Florida could be the best quarterback in the class. 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: Yet the only thing he's done lately is not playing 28 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: a bowl game and miss eleven straight throws to lose 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: the Florida State. Is this a R camp trying to 30 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: generate buzz or is there a scout that will say 31 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: anything to generate headlines. I think you gotta be very 32 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: careful what you read during this time. I haven't read 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: that many draft synopsis is yet. Uh. I think any 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: time that you get guys with elite physical attributes size, strength, 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: arm strength, speed, they're gonna be intriguing prospects. You know, 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: I think he's accomplished more in Will Levice, but you 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: know he's gonna be the same thing. And depending on 38 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: who you talk to, you're gonna hear good things or 39 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna hear bad things. And when you read stuff, 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: and you know, the media always gets there, you know, 41 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: so up in arms about like put your name on it. 42 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: They can't put their name on it. They're never gonna 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: put their name on it. They're always gonna be anonymous. 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: Scouts like nothing is a bigger pet peeve than mine. 45 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: Then when I see morons, you know, I was gonna 46 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: say blue check marks, but I guess anyone get a 47 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: blue checkmark now if you pay dollars a month. UH, 48 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: people that cover sports for a living, because why won't 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: they put their name on it? Because you know, the 50 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: scouting director can't put their name on it. It doesn't 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: mean what he's saying. He doesn't believe he might be wrong. 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: It's just subjective business. Um, Yeah, I don't know. I mean, 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: I I'd be lying if I said I watched that 54 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: much Florida this year after the UH, after the Utah game, 55 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: when he was obviously played the best game of his life. 56 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: And from people that I know that have gone through, 57 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: they're not that high on him. But you know, it's 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: it's a very very subjective process. I mean hearing Sean 59 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: Payton recently talked about his interaction and his time with 60 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: UM with Patrick Mahomes and Andy and the Chiefs love 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes. Two people were all in on Patrick Mahomes. 62 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it this morning. Actually think how 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: crazy it is. You become a general manager and Ryan 64 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Pace became a general manager relatively young in his life, 65 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: late thirties, like forty years old. He's the GM of 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. So not like some random franchise. I 67 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: mean one of the biggest I would say most important, 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: but definitely biggest brands, biggest markets, and just historic franchises 69 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: in the league. He takes Mr Trabisky like that's the 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: guy that he took. Meanwhile, the two coaches, Andy and 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, they loved Mahomes. So he shows you not 72 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: everyone knows what they're doing. Hey, John Hope, you're well 73 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs fan from South Africa. I always wanted to go. 74 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Why is Sean Payton held in such high regard? Verse 75 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy three losing seasons blew the game Verse Tampa 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: when leading Sterling Sharp not making the Hall of Fame, 77 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: but Gayl Sayers made it off a seven year run. 78 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: Do you believe there should be a forum to almost 79 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: override such grave oversights? How do you believe he was 80 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame worthy receiver? Well, Gayle says, you know 81 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: a little before my time. Uh even sharp in his 82 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: prime before he got hurt a little before my time. 83 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: So everyone that talked about him said he was had 84 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: a chance to be, you know, a top two or 85 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: three all time guy. His brother obviously is one of 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: the best tight ends of all time. Um I I 87 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: think the Hall of Fame has been very, very diluted 88 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: over the years. When I closed my eyes and I 89 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: think Hall of Fame, I think Montana, Brady Manning, Lawrence Taylor, 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, ed Reid, ray Lewis, 91 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: Dion Sanders, like the cream of the crop, Bret Farve, 92 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I don't even like that next tier of guys, 93 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: like even the coaches, you know. I, I don't know. 94 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: I I have a really really high standard. I think 95 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: it's gotten really diluted over the years. And uh, I 96 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: don't know what to say about that. But your first question, 97 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy, like was out a year and 98 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: got the head coaching job with the Cowboys. You know, 99 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: now people talk about him. Who cares the way people 100 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: talk about him. It's irrelevant what people say about you. 101 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: If your industry values you. Mike McCarthy was out of year, 102 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: interviewed everywhere, and got the Dallas Cowboys job like that happened, 103 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: and now he's the Dallas Cowboys head coach. So just 104 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: because people on the outside and I'm probably guilty of 105 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: this too, don't think he's that good, it's relevant an 106 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: owner pays him eight million dollars a year to coach 107 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: the Dallas freaking Cowboys and now he's the offensive play 108 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: color Afterton gone to the playoffs back to back years. 109 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: So I don't think anyone holds Sean Payton like he's 110 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: some all time great coach. But relative to the rest 111 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: of the competition of guys available, he was, I mean, 112 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: by four the most sought after candidate because of his resume. 113 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: No one could even sniff stacking up to what he 114 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: brought to the table in terms of what he's done 115 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: in his career. So I think it's more about that 116 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: than comparing him to Mike McCarthy. I also think Sean 117 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: a little smoother better with the media. A lot of 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: media friends, Uh, Mike, you know, a little gruffer, little 119 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: meatheads probably the wrong word, but I mean Mike McCarthy 120 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: claimed when he got hired by the Cowboys that he 121 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: watched every one of the games in the interview with 122 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, and then at his press conference he looked 123 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: at Jerry's like, I'm lying, I didn't watch every game. 124 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know. There's an element of Mike 125 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: where I don't even know how to quantify or describe it. 126 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: Something's just it feels a little off. I'm not saying 127 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is Vince Lombardi, but I would rather have 128 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Sean Payton than Michae McCarthy. Big fan and I have 129 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: been for a while. I was just wondering about the 130 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay situation, situation with Aeron. Have they been playing 131 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: chess while we all think they've been playing checkers. They 132 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: have already have a young defense, and last year they 133 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: draft two guys to try to solidify the middle of 134 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: their defense and drafted two very solid wide receivers, barring injury, 135 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: are gonna develop well and have pretty openly said Jordan's 136 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: love is the future. Do they get two or three 137 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: first for Aaron Well. I talked about this on the 138 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: podcast the other day thing with Aaron Rodgers, like, I 139 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: can't trade you two ones when he says he's gonna 140 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: retire every six months. I had to google Brett are 141 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: because I was like, did Brett Forve? How did he 142 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: end up on Minnesota. Obviously, he was traded to the 143 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: Jets because the the packers would not let him go. Ironically, 144 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: this morning, I was on Brett Farve's Wikipedia page and 145 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: I scrolled down to the end of the Jets early 146 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and obviously he was traded for a fourth 147 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: round pick to the Jets. And then the way he 148 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: got to Minnesota is he claimed to retire again and 149 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: the Jetice cut him, and then he went to Minnesota 150 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: as a free agent. Like Aaron Rodgers has kind of 151 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: become everything that he claimed he didn't want to become 152 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: in the way Brett Farve operated and acted, and that's 153 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: kind of what he's doing, a little less drama. I 154 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: think Brett was a little more like, I'm retiring and 155 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: then he'd kind of do it. But then he kind 156 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: of wouldn't. He'd asked like I'm coming back now. Aaron 157 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: hasn't done that. Aaron just says I'm contemplating retirement. But 158 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: if I'm a GM, I can't give you two first 159 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: round picks. If the fucking guy might quit after a year. 160 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: If Aaron Rodgers just talked openly like Breeze and Peyton 161 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: and Raighty, like I'm never gonna quit until I have 162 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: to or my wife leaves me or my arm falls off, 163 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: I think they would easily get two first round picks. 164 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: But he's the opposite. It's like, I just gotta go 165 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: check out some my waskin the Hills. It's like, bro, 166 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: are you gonna play football now? In fairness to Aaron, 167 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: he's always ended up playing football, but every year that 168 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: goes by, it feels like, you know, you never know 169 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: the guy. Okay for the mail bag, Curios, your thoughts 170 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: and Tony Romo's performance in the booth with Jim Nance 171 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: this year. From the Andrew Marshawn article I read, it 172 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: appears he's consistently not prepared, doesn't study and get the 173 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: alleged and that allegedly caused CBS to organize an intervention 174 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: for him last off season. Yeah. I honestly didn't see 175 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: the article until I saw cowards take on it. I'm 176 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: not big on following media critics, Like, there's nothing I 177 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: care less about than media critics. I mean, I'd rather 178 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know I'd rather watch paint dry then 179 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: read media critic x. But once I saw a coward's take, 180 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: I had to google it, and then I saw this 181 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: guy wrote an article. I think it's pretty simple is 182 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: and I was thinking back to when I got involved 183 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL, how overwhelming it was. Every single year, 184 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: two eight players get drafted, and then every team adds 185 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: I don't know ten undrafted free agents. I'm just picking 186 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: that number. It some depends on the team. Some could 187 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: be fifteen, some could be eight. But you're adding a 188 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: bunch of random college guys. That's just college, let alone 189 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: all the random players in the league that are not 190 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, Justin Jefferson or Micah Parsons. The majority of 191 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: the league is like a rotational guard is the nickel corner. 192 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: So understanding the NFL is very, very difficult. It takes 193 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: a shipload of work. That's if you're working in the NFL, 194 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: Like if you're a scout or a position coach, you're 195 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: constantly just studying the league. Who's playing on the other teams, 196 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: the rotational guys, the schemes, it's just never ending, the draft, 197 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: free agency, the movement. But when you're in the league, 198 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: like he was, and then just leave the NFL. You've 199 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: been inundated with it for a decade. You know. A 200 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: lot of the league now, ironically is you know, Fox 201 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: is the NFC. So he went immediately the a f C, 202 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: a league that he didn't play, or a conference he 203 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: didn't play as much, but he had still been in 204 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: the league, and you play conference teams and cross tape, 205 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: you got a pretty good understanding. Well, the years I 206 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: remove you away, the amount of work I would have 207 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: to do to do like a legit pro scout breakdown 208 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: all the time would be it would be NFL. It's 209 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: ninety work weeks of just studying players, evaluating them on tape, 210 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: studying their background, studying the movement, watching the new guys 211 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: coming in. It takes so much hard work. The NFL 212 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: is Wall Street on grass. You work a shipload of hours. 213 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: And the difference in Wall Street when you're young and 214 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: you make a lot of money in the NFL, you 215 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: do not. Now if you a big you know, especially 216 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: now a lot of these younger coaches are making it. 217 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: You can. There's a lot of cash out there. But 218 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: I think the amount of work in preparation to be 219 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: elite at that job it would take is a lot 220 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: because when you do, like let's just pick a game, 221 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: let's pick Chiefs Jags. So he's doing the Chiefs, which 222 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: is relatively easy to do. He doesn't done a lot 223 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: of Chiefs games, so he would know most of the players. 224 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: But when he does the Jags game, obviously Trevor Lawrence 225 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: and like Josh Allen the past rusher. They got four 226 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: or five guys E. T. N that are that are 227 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: relatively famous, but they got a lot of random guys 228 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: on that team. And then if they get an injury 229 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: or two, like if Christian Kirk goes down, their backup 230 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver is not going to be a guy that 231 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: the majority of fans know. How I know this, I 232 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: can't most people listening right now. If you're a Bears fan, 233 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: if you're a Bucks fan, if you're a Vikings fan, 234 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't know your roster as good as you. I 235 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: know your main players, your coaching staff, like I've watched 236 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: you play a lot. But if you watch every single 237 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: snap of your team seventeen weeks a year, you know 238 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: that roster better than all the announcers. You know that 239 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: roster by far better than all the announcers I know 240 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: the forty niner is better than everyone listening to this 241 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: that's not a forty nine A fan. I know they're players, 242 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: I know the rotational guys. I know they're random guys. 243 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: That takes a lot of effort. That takes me seventeen 244 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: weeks a year watching three hours of their game every 245 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: single snap and reading a lot about them, Like I 246 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: approach him like I'm a pro scout and I just 247 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: wonder if Romo to to maintain that level is hard. 248 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: So I think people question he's not working as hard. 249 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: I also think this, twenty plus million people on average 250 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: watches games. When we're sitting there watching the game and 251 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: a play happens, it's one thing you drop a ball, 252 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: whatever you fumble, like I gotta know what you miss 253 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: a tackle. But there are just like that was a 254 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: terrible play call or that was an insanely poor effort, 255 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: you know by the dB when I watched him, and 256 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: I would love to play golf of them, I'd like 257 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: to hang out with them. I do think he's a 258 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: little soft on TV, Like, bro, these guys aren't your friends, 259 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: you know. We want think how you watch a game 260 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: screaming at your TV, Whether You're a gambler, whether it's 261 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: your team, Like you give your a lot of your time, 262 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: which to the NFL is the most valuable thing you 263 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: can give them. It's paying for everything. Our time is 264 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: viewers pays for the entire league. We get mad and 265 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: I watched Tony, like, is this guy ever gonna rip anybody? 266 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: This guy ever gonna talk? Like we want our announcers 267 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: to talk, be a little critical, and he's just not. 268 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: So he's all over the place screaming. That doesn't bother 269 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: me as much, like I'm not looking for perfect You 270 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: know what they teach you in broadcasting school. You can 271 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: have your own personality. I'm not big into being everyone's friend, 272 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Like these guys aren't all your friends? Tony talk a 273 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: little shit, like when they screw up, blast a coach, 274 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: and he just rarely does that. Look at Peyton Manning, 275 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: who has been on record saying the reason he never 276 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: got in to announcing games because he didn't want to 277 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: be critical, And even he struggles with it when he's 278 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: calling games on the Manning cast, like what are you doing? 279 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: Call it time out? I feel like Tony is just 280 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: you gave him. The other thing is for most people 281 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: right to get that much money. And part of it 282 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: is demand, right, Another network really wanted to hire him, 283 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: so he was in demand, drove up his market price. 284 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: If no one If a house is on the market 285 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: for five months and no one's bidding on it and 286 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: for a million dollars, like I'm offering you seven, like 287 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: you ever got an offer in six months? If he 288 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: offers a million dollars and there's a line out the 289 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: door of people looking at it on an open house, 290 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: and they go, yeah, we just got twelve offers today, 291 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: you better be prepared to offer one point one too, 292 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: because if so he had people bidding on his services, 293 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: they gave a hundred seventy million dollars. I get someone 294 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: a hundred seventy million dollars. My standards are pretty high. 295 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: It's why I like especially like I've seen you good, 296 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: I've seen you prepare well. It turns out maybe he 297 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: didn't have to prepare as much. He just already knew it. 298 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: And I think it's a complicated situation. Clearly they're not happy. 299 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: People don't get happy, Like I can't be mad at 300 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: you if I run a business and you are uh 301 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: my janitor, and I pay you thirty five grand a 302 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: year and you're not great at your job? Like, what 303 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: am I really gonna say to you? If I pay 304 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: you seventeen If I pay you a hundred and seventy 305 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: million dollars, my standards are gonna be pretty high. You know, 306 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: when Fox gave John Madden eight million dollars in nineteen 307 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: ninety three, he fucking brought it and delivered. And dominated 308 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: say what you want about Gruden, like he brought it. 309 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: You knew he was studying. If I don't even think 310 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: you're studying, and I'm paying you a premium, now, who is? 311 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: It's it's weird, Like I always struggle with this at CBS. 312 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: The guy at CBS that's mad Adam. It's not his money. 313 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: It's amazing massive corporation. But he signed off on it. 314 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: He was the one that said this is a good idea. 315 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: You know, so the shareholders, you know, people start getting mad. 316 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: I also think they're probably looking at Twitter. I don't 317 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: know if Twitter necessarily matters, Like people think he's diminished 318 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: in his powers, But at the end of the day, 319 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't even think announcers matter that much. I like 320 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Greg Olsen, you know, he's good. I like Kevin Burkhard. 321 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: The ratings have gone up since Troy Aikman and Joe 322 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: Buck gon up. We watched because of the NFL, like 323 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: like I've always said, like I could bend over tocolate 324 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: a Spintura with my butt cheeks. And you know, fifty 325 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: million people are watching Niners Cowboys. This isn't a complicated formula. 326 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: So maybe they're just mad. They didn't have to give 327 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: him that much money. Newsflash, you didn't. You could have 328 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: hired anyone random. It would have been fine.

They're in first round pick. Question for you 366 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: in your time as a scout, is there one player 367 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: you hang your hat on, say this is the guy 368 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be a stud. Uh No, 369 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: when I was in the NFL for two years ided 370 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: pro scouting, and it was more just you know, keeping 371 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: grades on players. People aren't coming to you like Middlecoff, 372 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: give me your top seven guys in this free agency. 373 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: It was more just having updated grades, you know. He 374 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: just didn't care what I thought on the A the 375 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: end of the day, there was a guy Andrewsondejo that 376 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: was playing in this little like XFL or a FL 377 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: or UFL, like one of those random leagues. Back in 378 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: like two thousand and eleven, I went to Lewis Riddick 379 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: and I said, listen, this guy can play. No one 380 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: would listen to me. And then ten years later he's 381 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: got a ten year career. No big deal. But I 382 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: wasn't pounding the table. I only did college scouting for 383 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: one year and I didn't like Matt Barkley and shipped 384 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: ten years later, you're sell in the league. Is there 385 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: an argument that Shanahan's scheme assignments that leave his quarterback 386 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: exposed more than others offensive system when an assignment is missed, 387 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean the injury issues before Jimmy g Lance party. 388 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: I think here's the issue with Shanahan is his scheme 389 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: is based on missdirection. His scheme is not based necessarily 390 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: on power at the point of attack. Right his offensive 391 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: lineman is athleticism. It's a zone scheme means they're running 392 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: more laterally than they are pushing you backwards. When you 393 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: play other teams that see zone offenses, especially in practice, 394 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: they're not gonna bite on all your fakes and shoot 395 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: down the line. So a San reddick, even though the 396 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: Eagles offense is not the Niners offense, they run zone 397 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: running scheme concepts. So when you do some of this 398 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: play action, which obviously the Eagles do as well, Hassan 399 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: Reddick is less likely like I'm just gonna shoot down 400 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and chase nobody. He's gonna go, Okay, 401 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: I gotta backup, tight end, see a buddy, and then 402 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: chase your quarterback. Well Son Reddick. One thing that really 403 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: bothered me about Kyle and I think he's a fantastic 404 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: coach and the Niners are lucky to have him. And 405 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: part of being ego and belief in yourself and what 406 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: makes anyone great at their job is like this, this 407 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: like desire to not let the outside noise influence how 408 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: they do things. Like if he would have done that, 409 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be as good as he was. But brock Purty, 410 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: the guy that you know, turned your team into kind 411 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: of a powerhouse, Like thet has had a chance to 412 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl now with Jimmy Garoppolo. They had 413 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: a chance to win with a Brock Purty. And when 414 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: you put him in that compromising position a couple of 415 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: weeks later, you could have gone just a week later 416 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: because he talked on Thursday, you know what If I 417 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: had that to do over, I wish I would have 418 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: called another play. It's pretty simple to say, I don't 419 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: blame him for running Trey Lance Trelias and acurate quarterback. Now, 420 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: if you want to say why you're running guy that's 421 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: not that fast, that's another argument he had. Jimmy Garoppolo 422 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: was a freak deal. But the pretty situation like put 423 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: put your backup tight end, who can't block any good 424 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: players against? I don't know it goes Nick Bosa. Michael 425 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: Parsons a sun reddeck this year for best outside edge 426 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: of pass rushers. You would never do that to Nick Bosa. 427 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: So I just I hated that. You just wouldn't acknowledge. 428 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: I regret that, because we all regret stuff. I regret 429 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: saying that, Honey, I wish I would have I wish 430 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: I would have had a different take for a podcast, 431 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: you know segment like we I wish I would have 432 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: bought this stock at thirty dollars instead of fifty. We 433 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: all regret. And again there's a difference between letting regret 434 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: hover in your mind the rest of your life and 435 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: just going, you know what, If I had that to 436 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: do over again, I would have right I'm not living 437 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: in the past, but it was a mistake. This is 438 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: a black and white business, is an end result business, 439 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: and the end result of that play was Hassan Reddick, 440 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: who is an elite edge rusher, rip your quarterback's elbow 441 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: off like that's that's the end result. Freak play, Yeah, 442 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: the freak play, that's the result. John, just a thought 443 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: in the morning. Drive to work for as good as 444 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: coach Kyle Shanahan is. Do you think there's something inherently 445 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: wrong with the offense he runs? Seems every year their 446 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: quarterback goes down. Jimmy g it's kind of the same questions. 447 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: I think what makes Kyle really good is his offense 448 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: and is his scheme. I think he has to be 449 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: pretty careful with the way the unblocked looks with some 450 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: of these pass rushers. I understand it's part of his offense, 451 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: but he does not have Ben Roethlisberger sitting back there. 452 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: Brock Purdy is six ft tall. He's just a smaller guy. Now. Luckily, 453 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: Purdy's pretty athletic, and that was a play that nothing. 454 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: You know, he's trying to take a deep shot. I 455 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: just think when it comes to protecting his quarterback and 456 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: and I've always been one to say it's football. Guys 457 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: get injured. There's only so much you can do. But 458 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: we now have a couple of years of a couple 459 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: of years of evidence from l a Big Bucks fan Florida. 460 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: Two part question. I truly believe Brady is done, hoping 461 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: he moves on and we can spend all the cap 462 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: on a younger star quarterback that fix our line secondary. 463 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: Would I be dreaming if I thought we should trade 464 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: for Lamar? I feel the offense could be the best 465 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: in the league if you added ability at quarterback Florida 466 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: state income taxes. I think Lamar is from Florida too, 467 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: isn't he two first rounders the second and third? How 468 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: does this sound? Yeah? I mean if I were the Bucks, 469 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: I would definitely trade for Lamar Jackson. Two. Are the 470 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: Florida Gators just done in the big scheme of college football? 471 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: I feel they may be on the same boat as 472 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: USC when it comes to national perception of the program. 473 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: I tell all my SC fans out here that SC 474 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: I think he lives in l a uh big boys 475 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: six five Florida positions. We haven't signed an elite wide 476 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: receiver or running back in a long time. I think 477 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: one issue you've had only so many teams can be 478 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: on top at one time, right. You can't have eight 479 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: SEC teams all killing it because they're all recruiting the 480 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: same crop of forty guys. So if all of them, 481 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, equally split those forty guys, your team is 482 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be as good. Historically, Georgia L s U, 483 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: Bama or whatever, or even Florida when they've been on 484 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: get the majority of those guys. The reasonal how State 485 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: tends to be better than most Big ten teams. Every 486 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: single year they get better players. If I took five 487 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: of their top twenty players and I put them on Michigan, 488 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: then Michigan and them would just be equals, like part 489 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: of the reason. And I understand Michigan's beat him a 490 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: couple of years in a row. But if I took 491 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: ten of their top twenty players and I gave three 492 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: to Michigan and four to Minnesota and three to Wisconsin, 493 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: it would spread the up. That's kind of what happens 494 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: in the SEC. Bama and Georgia kind of get them 495 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: all and then L s U, depending on the year, 496 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: also does pretty good. Now it feels like Tennessee's recruiting 497 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot better. Recruiting is the end all be all. 498 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: I saw Joel Clatt going off on USC's recruiting class 499 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: like this one. I like Lincoln. He's an excellent offensive coach. 500 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: If he does not recruit defense at a really high level, 501 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: he's never winning a Natty. What he did in Oklahoma 502 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: was impressive. They had Heisman Trophy winners. They had NFL 503 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: players at every position, wide receiver, running back, o line, 504 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: tight end, quarterback, every single Their offense was elite. Their 505 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: offense could have played with anybody. But if your defense 506 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: has me and you playing for him, you ain't beating Georgia, 507 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Obama. Even in a sport that is much 508 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: more offensively driven. You have to tackle. You know, I 509 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: don't need you to be the eighty five Bears or 510 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: like two thousand ten Alabama, but you cannot be what 511 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: you're at. And you know, one thing that's different with 512 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: USC and Florida like is Billy Napier. Any good is 513 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: Billy Napier in good. I've heard good things about him. 514 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: I know people that like him, but if he's not good, 515 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: they're screwed. At least with Lincoln, like you're going to 516 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: compete to make the playoffs? Are you going to compete 517 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: to be I think how hard it is to be 518 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: third in the East now Georgia lock number one, I 519 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: guess Tennessee and Tennessee is basically like, uh, you know 520 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: a lock number two. I just think it's very, very difficult, man. Okay, 521 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: last question. I was just wondering what you think people 522 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: who seem intent on downplaying the Eagles win against the Niners. 523 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: Ignore shanahanded deciding to block reddeck with a backup tight end. 524 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: A lot of Shannon and Reddick talk. Source subject man, 525 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: I lost two thousand dollars. Heard you hit a big 526 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: golf bet. Who are you rolling with for Pebble Beach? 527 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: Looking to make a few bets. I have a little 528 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: money on Scott Stallings and bow Hustler, but this is late. 529 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: The Pebble Beach tournament is a guy of such a 530 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: diluted field. I'm gonna go heavy, heavy this next week 531 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: at Waste Management with probably a couple of large wagers 532 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: on some of the top guys. I play out there 533 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: a lot now. The course is hard. All the elite 534 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: guys Rory rom Scheffler.

I 539 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: had like a thirty minute window on Wednesday. I recorded 540 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: something and then it deleted and I was like, ah, 541 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: so I gotta be better about that.
