11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: this because my man, Chris, you're just tied the knot

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: to a wonderful woman. I saw the pictures. It looked lovely,

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: so you know, you know, I mean, I'm a wine guy.

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: So I went digging through the racks with my brother.

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Oh wow, real time, real time. So heisha enjoy that's

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: a nice ball of napacab from Stag's leap lotting on.

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: So enjoy that. I know you're an aphile, so this

00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: is thank you. Absolutely enjoy that he comes with bearing gifts.

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: We've been right, Well, maybe he'll share some with you.

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Just absolutely I would say, if I like, top hundred

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: people in the world to select a bottle of wine

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: for me. In the last couple of years, I've learned

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: that you would shoot to the very very top of

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: that list. I'd probably how many people do you really

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: know that? Yeah? I mean, man, probably really like a

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: ten or twelve person list. He's the only one I

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say top hundred people just in general,

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: which I mean, that's that that's damning with fan praise

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: in my mind, because who does at this company. There's

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: a lot of vipers, there's a lot of um, there's

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: a lot of angling. Actually, I would say the people

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: all get along really well for the most part, for

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: the most part, but everyone's got issues that things happen

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: with different people around the company. But who have you

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: ever found at this company that's ever said a bad

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: word about Steve Weish? Yeah, doesn't happen. Keep looking, Keep looking? Yeah,

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, thank thank you're you're in my face.

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, as soon as his cameras go off,

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, you guys are gonna be crapping all of them. Well,

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: maybe you're just very skilled about destroying people in the shadows.

41
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: We just don't know about it. We we presume you

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: to be a class I've I've got I've got my

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I live my life like the like

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the lion is. You know. I I don't trample through

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: the weeds. I kind of tiptoe through them. But when

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: it's time to attack, it's a rap. I love. I've

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: seen the way you and your wife, the how you

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: operate your stealth. But no one's having a better time

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: there you go words to um. So today's I don't

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: know if it's a big show. It's just the show.

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: The rest of the company's off right now. Uh. It's

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: apparently an NFL holiday because they've gotta make up some

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: days for missing Thanksgiving, another Christmas and all that stuff

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: that we don't get. So they got a nice four

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: day week and it's quiet downstairs. But we're in here,

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and uh, we're gonna set you up right for a

00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: big three day weekend. We'll be back Tuesday, do some news.

00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: We'll do a Mark Sessler guided meditation. Oh I'm excited

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: about that. Have we done that before? I don't believed one.

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I think we'd remember that. We're gonna we're gonna talk

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: about some sneaky Um Stars of two thousand nineteen. Who

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: are some people under the radar who can make a

63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: little impact? And then uh, and then my thing I'm

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: looking for to most the final five minutes of the show,

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: We're just gonna take a trip down to Weis's world.

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: It's relaxing, but it's professional and we're just gonna ask

00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm more looking forward to this. This is like Minnesota

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Fats type set up. Well, you don't have to you

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: just sit back and field a variety of intriguing questions

73
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: in your personal inquiries. They maybe a little off the wall.

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Am I gonna need a blind bowl in the cigarette

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: you guys, it's up to you. It's your world, iring

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: squad um. So I just want to get to it,

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: get this weekend started, finish this show out. And to

78
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: do that, let's go to Erica tam Possey, who really

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: pushed hard for us to do this show on Thursday. Sorry,

80
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: we're in on Friday. Let's do some news cool. Well,

81
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: I just said he want me in the scroup club.

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I don't think that were going

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: to the script club. It ain't no saying to go

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: to the script club. You know, I was just being rebellion.

85
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: It's a bad decision. It was the one of the

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: dumb decision I even made. Who's been tapping my phone?

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: That was pack Mean Jones in a classic SoundBite from

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 1: the late two thousands when he was the poster boy

89
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: of kind of getting in trouble with the NFL suspensions.

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: And that's why he is. He is the example that

91
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: was given as to why personal conduct policy needed to

92
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: be update and upgraded. And a legacy. Yeah, he has

93
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: a pretty big legacy considering, you know, not a ton

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: of Pro Bowl and then it making it rain. I

95
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: don't know if he invented it, he brought it maybe

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: to a lot of you know, white foe watching the

97
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: NFL that didn't had never really heard about it. In

98
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, we'll get to his retirement, uh

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: in just a bit, but let's start the news with

100
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: the forty Niners. Nick Bosa is out until training camp. Uh.

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: They also lose Jimmy Ward for two to three months

102
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: with a broken collar bone. Not a ton of huge

103
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: news uh over the last few days. But the forty

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Niners who have had bad injury luck, seemed like they

105
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: still have some bad injury luck. What do we think

106
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: this matter? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, look, Nick Bosa, this

107
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: guy's had injury history. You know, he hasn't played in

108
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: play last season at Ohio State because he had that

109
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: growing injury gets a handy pool this early on. Those

110
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: are lingering injuries. You know, it's not like he's a

111
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: small guy. He is a big dude, okay, And these

112
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: are things they're counting on him. I've spoken to some

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: coaches up there. They they're like, if you got him

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: on one side and then run situations, you could put

115
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead or Sama Thomas on the other. In a

116
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: passing situation, put in d Ford and game with you know,

117
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: the forest buck and all this. You know, Bosa is

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: the anchor. It's gonna allow them to do a lot

119
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: of things. And if he's in and out of the lineup,

120
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: that's going to be an issue. And you remember the

121
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: forty Niners, they got rid of their whole like strength

122
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: and conditioning staff because they kept on having injuries. I

123
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: don't remember that you're on top of things like that, Yeah,

124
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: they're not there and they and they had some really

125
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: good people up there, so you know, the boshit thing

126
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: or something to watch it. And then Jimmy Ward, I mean,

127
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy every year you hear about the talent,

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the talent, the talent, but you haven't seen the production. Guys,

129
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: this is Eric Berry written all over to me. Yeah,

130
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think now they really need to start

131
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: to inquire. And we know he's got some injury as well,

132
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: but if they can get him on a on a

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: on a decent type deal, that this is where I

134
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: really start getting interested in him. If you're a forty

135
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Niners fan, I want to talk yourself into this injury

136
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: not mattering at all. The Bosta injury. His brother, who

137
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: was a similar prospect, didn't practice until September and then

138
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: Rex shop his entire rookie But hamstrings always and he's

139
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: a guy who has had injuries. Hamstrings worrying me for

140
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: rookies more than anything because they always seem like, uh,

141
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: you know, and uh. Odell Beckham ended up having a

142
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: good rookie year, but it took him six seven weeks

143
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: to sort of get get on the field. Different. It's

144
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: funny because Jeff Fisher, who is quite a good Twitter

145
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: follower despite not being entertaining as a coach for much

146
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: of my experience with him, he he came out and

147
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: basically said, O T A s are problematic because you

148
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: really can't teach young players and nearly as much as

149
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: you'd want to. And the fan in me, I look

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: at O T s in training camp and it's just

151
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: this awful scale where nothing great is going to happen

152
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: that I'm that's going to affect my life. No real

153
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: winds are gonna come of it, but epic disaster can

154
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: occur when this this roster looks really good on paper,

155
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: or there's young stars, young stars to be on the

156
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: Niners roster, it only matters that they're available, and you

157
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: already have two of them that aren't. Yeah, it's it's

158
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: it's a weird thing. Actually, we've got some breaking news.

159
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: Um this has been Area tam Posey on Slack. I

160
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: never knew how buff Weiss was until the T shirt games.

161
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: The suit covers it normally, so I just wanted to

162
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: get that out there. Yeah, man, Steve is definitely right now.

163
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm not breaking anywhere. I think you're the elder statesman

164
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: in this room quite and yet you've definitely got the

165
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: best bodies. I am much closer to the COMBA. Well

166
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: appreciate that, but I'm much much closer to the grave

167
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: than a legal drinking age. And so you know, I've

168
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: got to do what I can to keeps to stay around. Man.

169
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: I like being around you. Guys. Does Andrew Siciliano's you

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: know up fluctuating guns? Do they put some pressure on you?

171
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: Which is drawn air with side by side? Andrew does

172
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: great with what he's got, but he's not in I just,

173
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, I've been lifting since I was in high

174
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: school and running, and I just I just can't get up.

175
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: You're a big high school start right, little quarterback? What

176
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: did he play? Quarterback? Wanting back outside linebacker? Spent all

177
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: of the time sitting the bench University of Missouri. I mean,

178
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: the guy who should be here is Dan. Dan is

179
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: a male body that's admirer and he's missing what I

180
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: think is some of the better goods we've had in

181
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: the studio. That guy who's next, that guy who has

182
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: not known necessarily for his body, more of his mind

183
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: and his is Adam Gaze back in the news UH

184
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: this week. I just wanted to bring this up. I

185
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: know we've talked a lot of Jets this offseason, but

186
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: it was just so awkward to watch Adam Gaze answer

187
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: questions about Levy on Bell and c J. Mosley this

188
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: week and insist UH that he was on board with

189
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: their signing with the players, especially Mosley having to awkwardly

190
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: say sort of, it doesn't matter. He he knows what

191
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: the truth is. He's like, it doesn't matter whether he

192
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: wanted me here or not, or what the deal was, Like,

193
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm here answering those questions about your head coach is

194
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: very straight. And then the thing that really bothered me

195
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: was Adam Gaze saying he insisted he was on the

196
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: same page with Mike mcagnan and had nothing to do

197
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: with mcagnan's outstare what are we what are we feeling

198
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: mark about this Jets regime and may making so many headlines.

199
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I feel like we're in a

200
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: postmodern world with press conferences where it's too easy for

201
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: us to sit here and say, how dumb do you

202
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: think we all are? After all the stuff that's come

203
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: down that you're trying to sell us this bill of goods,

204
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: because I mean, if this were happening, He's mastered the

205
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: messy entrance. Can you imagine if two weeks into Odell

206
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: Beckham signing with the Browns, you have Freddie Kitchens same

207
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. He didn't really want Odell Beckham, and

208
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham had to answer, it's just as awkward to

209
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: have the players after they've made this massive life choice,

210
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: which involves a lot more than just the player. It's

211
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: moving your families, it's shifting locations. You're looking ahead the

212
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: next four or five years, and this is the first

213
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: thing that when you walk through the door you're met

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: with awkward, highly awkward. Well, we always hear from owners

215
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: and gms when they're hiring coaches, we want a leader

216
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: of men. And how do you lead these men when

217
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: you're constantly leaking to reporters statements that aren't flattering to

218
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: these men And wherever Adam Gays goes leak, stories follow

219
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: or if they're not really buying what he's saying, which

220
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: is like he told he said, he told them, don't

221
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: listen to what's in the media. But players are smart,

222
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, if they can figure things out, And so

223
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: there's some that I don't know if that message is

224
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: going to get through me. He con says. They don't

225
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: list it what's going on in the meeting, but as

226
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: you said, they know what time it is. And look,

227
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give Gaze a little break here

228
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: just because the Jets have been the Jets for a

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: long time for a certain reason. And that's because the people, yeah,

230
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: I dropped, like, they don't do this that total access.

231
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't thrown off at all. It's just he started dancing.

232
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: They're just such a a mess for so long. And

233
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: so you know, Gaze the stuff you heard that he

234
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: in and some of these guys are reporting that he

235
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to sign them for this money. He likes

236
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: the players, just not for that money. One. To me,

237
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: that's that's a little bit too micromanaging. Like if you're

238
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: the coach al with that, Okay, don't worry about that.

239
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Coach the guys who your GM gets you if you're

240
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: on the same page, correct, But the fact you know,

241
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: where's christ Johnson and all of this, I mean, it's

242
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, you you've you've can't let your coach go

243
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: out there and take the shrapnel that he took on

244
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: some of the stuff in the c J. Mosley. His

245
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: answer was like, yeah, it's all cool, I'm here. His

246
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: answer was the checks to basically still gonna cash anyway.

247
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: So whether they want me or not, I'm gonna come

248
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: out here and I got paid. It's a little late

249
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: for all of this, but um, the one thing I

250
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: will give Gauge credit for us if they win ball games,

251
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: and I think this is the most competitive roster the

252
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: Jets have had. It could be good. Yeah, it's not

253
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna win. They're not gonna win that division. He does

254
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: strike you as like and if singular thinking alpha male.

255
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: So maybe it all works and suddenly we're like this guy,

256
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: But is the new thing that you're looking for or

257
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: it goes completely. So I think this is the benefit

258
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: of separating the GM and the coach, because the GM

259
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: sometimes can be the bad guy and instead of the coach,

260
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: and now it's like the message gets weird that the

261
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: coach is the one and now he's the acting GM,

262
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: and it's another It's also a reason why I like

263
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. You know, you can get on him for this,

264
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: but I think this specific type of example is why

265
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: he is so laser focused on eliminating leaks and people

266
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: talking to the media is like exactly this type of

267
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: still And also if you're Sean Peyton Bill Belichick, who

268
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: have the basically personnel, say they're the GM, they're ultimately

269
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: it's fine because they've got skins on the wall. The Jets.

270
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: The Jets have been a laughing stock of the NFL

271
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: for years because of stuff like this. Not many coaches

272
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: were less popular than Bill Belichick going into the twenty

273
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: two thousand one season, and that was partly because he

274
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: was in charge of everything and he was annoying the reporters.

275
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: Everyone hated him, and they were a bad team, right

276
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: and they hadn't been good for for a long time,

277
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: which is also true of the Washington Redskins. Just been

278
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: in the mix. But I want, I mean been in

279
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: the middle, the middle of the pack, and that's because

280
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: of their quarterback situation and they're in a tough one now.

281
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I wanted to bring this up.

282
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Maybe this is not even worth talking about. You guys

283
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: can tell me and we'll move along quickly. But I

284
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: found it interesting that Alex Smith was just there at

285
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: O T A S this week kind of throwing asses

286
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: and T shirts and like smiling and just reminded of

287
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: he was like, oh yeah, Alex Smith, remember that guy

288
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: that is guaranteed twenty plus million dollars over the next

289
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: two years. You're like, he's an actual person and he's

290
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: out there, and it's this this strange situation where Keenam's

291
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: going for the starting job, Haskins is going for the

292
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: starting job, Colt McCoy is somewhere, and then there's there's

293
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: this Alex Smith thing hanging over and no one really

294
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: knows if his career is over, if his seasons even over,

295
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: and just there he is smiling. But I was happy

296
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: to see him because everyone agrees. I think, like a

297
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: great guy who's had a pretty tough six months here. Yeah.

298
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I took out of it. I mean,

299
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, lookay, Alex, he's he's not he's not dead.

300
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: You know, he's not in traction. He's out here. He's

301
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: trying to be one of the guys because he is

302
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: just an awesome human being. He's just an awesome guy.

303
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: And I think just to see him out there is like, okay, cool,

304
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's take the conversation at least, you know,

305
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: until Greg Rosenhal gets behind the microphone and tries to

306
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: land based everything here, what are you talking about? That

307
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: was good? I mean, I mean just but it was

308
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: just like a reminder that like, oh, this is just

309
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: a thing that's he won't make it awkward, but it's

310
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: just kind of a straight there's It's almost unprecedented. I

311
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: can't think of another example in recent football history that's

312
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: like what's going on. I'll not forget that Super Bowl week,

313
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the Niners raven super week where obviously Alex Smith was

314
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: a massive subplot because he had been replaced despite being

315
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: incredibly effective, and he stood up to every question and

316
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: couldn't have been to your point, I made a huge

317
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: impression on me as the way the person he was,

318
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: so I'm not surprised he's there. But also, let's say

319
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: he even shifted into the role of, you know, low

320
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: level position coach. He's making twenty million dollars to be

321
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: a low level position coach, so I think it would

322
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: be smart to show up to work if my employer

323
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: were paying me twenty million dollars. Oh, he's not the

324
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: first player from that organization to be paid handsomely and that.

325
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. Dan Sanders always talks about the the Dan

326
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Snyder wing on his house. A lot of players who

327
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: loved Dan Snyder. Alex Smit the number one pick in

328
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: the twenty two thousand five draft. It was a rough

329
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: top ten that year because if you go back and

330
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: look at it, the two best players by far, maybe

331
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: not by far. Intro role was in there. Kind of

332
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: forgot about him. Alex Smith intro role was ten, solid, solid,

333
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: good career pac Man Jones number six and he retired.

334
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: We talked about him quickly at the top, but I

335
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: wanted to bring him up because he's had a really

336
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: interesting career. And if you had if you had asked

337
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, after the basically had been

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: suspended for two of his first three years in the NFL,

339
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: you would have never guessed that he would have outlasted

340
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: almost that entire draft class. And here he is retiring

341
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: in Chris Wesleyan as the resident Bengals ambivalent guy. What's

342
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: your well? I sort of have the recollection of him

343
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: with the Titans early in his career, when he was

344
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: so incredibly dynamic on punt returns and even as a

345
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: ball hawk in that secondary and then that's after those

346
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: two year they had Vince Young and seemed like the

347
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: world was their oyster. The Titans were this young, up

348
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: and coming team and it never happened because of off

349
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: the field issues for both of those guys. But when

350
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: I think of the Bengals years, I think of just

351
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: about every offseason, friends of mine would text me and say, Hey,

352
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: this isn't made the new news yet, but pac Man

353
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: got thrown out of a bar for fighting. He yeah,

354
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: he was a and All Pro as a return guy,

355
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: had a really good run as a slot guy in Cincinnati.

356
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: But I'm glad you brought up the Titans because that

357
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: Oh six team was sneaky, one of my favorite teams

358
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: of that decade. I'm telling you when Vince it was

359
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: his rookie year and it was essentially packed me and

360
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Jones rookie year because he was suspended in his actual

361
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: rookie year when those teams when that team when he

362
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: when Vince Young took over for Carry Collins and he

363
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: had I think five fourth quarter comebacks that year and

364
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: Pacman Jones was returning interceptions and he was returning punts

365
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: and then I remember a great comeback against the Giants especially,

366
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: but there were a lot of them. Like that team

367
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: was about as fun to watch as any They didn't

368
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: quite finish the deal at the end of the season.

369
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: They ended up not even making the playoffs, but when

370
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Vince Young came in, it was a sensation if you

371
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: were not there for that, Like, they were just a

372
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: sensational kind of dominating the NFL news cycle for about

373
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: two months, and it was a lot of fun. I was.

374
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: I covered a lot of those games. That's when still

375
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: based in Atlanta, And I mean they had this great

376
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: offensive line with Kevin Mawai who's going to the Hall

377
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: of Fame, Michael Russ a left tackle, and I mean

378
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: they pounded you on both sides of the ball. They

379
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: had Albert Haines was playing spectacular football, Keith Bullock um

380
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: I think. And they weren't good running quarterbacks then too.

381
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: That was part of the excitement was they were a

382
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: little different. It was it was such a change from

383
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: everything that they were doing. And you know, Mike Heimerdinger,

384
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: for as much as you want to say about Jeff

385
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Fisher is not having a good offensive coordinat Beer, heimerding

386
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: Or was the OC for the Titans. So they were

387
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: still really creative. They found ways Um to do things.

388
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: And you know Pack, I love the I mean he's

389
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: he's the amount of backed. It's crazy. There's for as

390
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: much troubles Pack got in for fighting and things like that,

391
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: he usually wasn't the instigator. You know, we saw the

392
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: video on the in an airport where somebody was talking

393
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: to him and coaches. Yeah, I mean his coaches loved

394
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: him Marvel because he was a dog. He was a dog.

395
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: He ended up being a leader in the locker room

396
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: that also had leaders like Vontes Perfect So I don't

397
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: know how far that goes, Um, but he was a

398
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: very very good player. He talked to widers here was

399
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: played against him. They have a lot of respect for Pack.

400
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: The punt return game never never fair cut the ball.

401
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: He would always catch it no matter who was That

402
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: was a stat until fifteen or sixty he never had

403
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: And I wanted to just give him his thin because

404
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned how he changed the personal conduct possily. It's

405
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: hard to imagine this, but there was an off season

406
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: or two where Pat and Jones really was the dominant

407
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: offseason storyline. He was the biggest story, and it was

408
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: so it was almost an innocent time looking back, because

409
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: it was before the flake gay and spy gay and

410
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: bounty gay and all the domestic violent stuff and Kaepernick

411
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: and so, and actually pack Me and Jones was the

412
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: biggest like sort of oh that's the problem in the NFL.

413
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Was pack Me and Jones for for like an off

414
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: season during four starts, hundred and four fights. I think

415
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: the parallel sort of aspect to that is what I'll remember,

416
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: you know what. And he probably had about a hundred

417
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: four dubs. I don't think he had too many else

418
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: with those fights. Um, but you wouldn't keep getting in

419
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: them unless you didn't like your chances. Guy always I

420
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: always appreciate it because he was just a little different. Um,

421
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: but was not a guy that was gonna win a

422
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: Walter Payton Man of the Year award like Chris Long did,

423
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: who we talked about his retirement, but I'm bringing him

424
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: back up. What a transition spectacloth. Greg was home last

425
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: night in bed, like just thinking about a shift from

426
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: one story to the next. He's like, Oh, that's gonna work.

427
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: I wish I prepared like that. Um, he's back in

428
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: the news because he was. He had some tweets this

429
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: week which had got caught a lot of notice about

430
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: and he was on Dan Patrick kind of started out

431
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: that talking about how he smoked read weed regularly as

432
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: a pro, which that's not news obviously, but he did

433
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: point out kind of the specifics of why the NFL

434
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: drug policy, uh, in his mind is almost cosmetic, uh

435
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: and easy to be because basically they know they're only

436
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna get tested if you're not in the program. You

437
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: only get tested once a year, and it's usually between

438
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: like a one month one to two month window people

439
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: in early August. Yeah, that's what he said. So it's

440
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: in specific times now, and it caught a lot of

441
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: it caught a lot of fire, and I think interesting

442
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: conversation about that. And I hadn't. I hadn't. I knew that,

443
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: but I didn't know the total specifics of of how

444
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: easy I guess it is to beat that policy, which

445
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: is why when someone gets busted and you have to

446
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: feel multiple times, you know, when it comes to uh,

447
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: to weed, to to get in trouble, to get suspended.

448
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: But this is why you don't hear much about guys.

449
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, you don't hear of the players. You hear

450
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: maybe three or four who you know, the drug issue,

451
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: and maybe because they've they've got bigger problems. But I

452
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: think Chris brings up a big point because you remember

453
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: his when he came out into this about Dan Patrick

454
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show. It was right along the

455
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: lines of the NFL and the NFL p A are

456
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: considering a new weed policy or things to help manage

457
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: pain and things like this. So I think it all

458
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: fit in there. I think that's where things are headed.

459
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: I think it's trending is to where we will not

460
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: be considered illegal. Now maybe get in trouble if you

461
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: get arrested for it in the states that where where

462
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: we just still illegal, but maybe they wanted tested. I mean,

463
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: we live in a state where it's you know, fully

464
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: illegal obviously, right, and more and more states are are

465
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: training in that direction. Um, I mean house like the

466
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: Housewives in Los Angeles are probably would be would test

467
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: positive between April and August, but doesn't have to be

468
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: able wives. But I'm just saying because I would impeg

469
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: them as that. But like if you you play the

470
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: sport that inflicts the most pain, but you're tacked under

471
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: a sports governing body, stuck in the dark, anges in

472
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: the air, Yes, I was walking in preschool this morning

473
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: and you can to smell it in the era eight

474
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning. Lovely thing. Yeah, I mean, the

475
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: great thing for a preschool. But to go to a Ralphs,

476
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: go to a ralpse and there everybody's like, you know, puffins.

477
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: So let's figure out a chief what munchies can we

478
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: get to We hit the oreoile first. Do you think

479
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: of that that they're this is a step to getting

480
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: rid of I think it's a step. And you know,

481
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about the dates the April to August,

482
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: the off season, that's that's usually okay, So they're not

483
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: around us a lot, so that's probably they're puffing. You know,

484
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: these guys. Soon the test is over those who smoke. Again,

485
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: it does help them to have a Chris Loan because

486
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: we the specific late April to early August to come

487
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: and point out how archaic and dumb and sort of

488
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: false the whole thing is. And once again we learned

489
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: from it, and that you then you have to change

490
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: rules when you'll get down one. So once you get

491
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: it out of the way, you're free sale. And I

492
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: think that does show the NFL is ultimately not sweating

493
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: the details of people smoke it to mends. You go

494
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: back to the Chris Long point. This was last year's

495
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Walter Peyton Man of the Year. This isn't just a guy.

496
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: This is a guy who's building clean water wells over

497
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: in Africa and standing with a lot of African American

498
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: players and the player's coalition. A good legislation changed and

499
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: paying giving up a year's salary so kids, you know

500
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: in charlotte Ville, Virginia can have funding for academics. Basically,

501
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I can do all these wonderful things. I can make

502
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: big plays in the super Bowl, and when it's all done,

503
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I can go home, take a couple of puffs, they

504
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: have a good night's sleep. Maybe we can get David

505
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: Irvan back in the league once they shift all this,

506
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: when they changed this role. This will give me the

507
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: chance to implement my new app, which is what weened

508
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: W E and d Nobody at home take this idea

509
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: because I've been through a lot of pain in the

510
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: last few years, and karma will be a bit we

511
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: ween you off of pain killers through the use of

512
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: E N D ween. I mean, I'm not sure what

513
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: the app is doing, but I like that. Greg. It's

514
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: all about apps. Just leave it alone. I like it. Finally,

515
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: in the news, Cleveland and Kansas City were named the

516
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: So the NFL Draft, we never talked about that. One

517
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: for Cleveland, three for Kansas City. What do we think

518
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: West are we trying to get to Cleveland? I think

519
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: we should try to get to Cleveland. We never go

520
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: to the draft. Oh, I was just about to say,

521
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm much rather go to Kansas City for that barbecue.

522
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: Either way, this is where I love clean I'm up

523
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: there a lot because of the Browns whatnot. That is

524
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated restaurant cities. And the card

525
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: you are a fantastic restaurants in Cleveland. You got Canton

526
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: up the road. I think it's great. I like the

527
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: fact that the Draft is being held war war in

528
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: cities that likely won't host Super Bowls. I like we

529
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: have become a thing that, like, you know, twelve teams,

530
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: there's there's a there's a blank spot sandwiched in between

531
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: there though I know two well, they said they're not

532
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: trying to do it for teams that have Super Bowls,

533
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: but maybe they maybe they would. I had some London

534
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: listeners one like wondering would they ever bring it to London,

535
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, that actually looks

536
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: good because because he and said big city, so Cleveland

537
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: and Kansas City not in the top you know fifteen

538
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: markets TV wise, they wanted to bring it to a

539
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: big city for that year, and I was like, you know,

540
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: London that would like the draft would be a nice

541
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: little test for the Super Bowl. Be had a weird

542
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: time in London. Perhaps it is that a World Cup

543
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: year as well, you know where you can kind of combine. Oh,

544
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: just stay there for the entire spring. I'm with you.

545
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: I well, like the one thing that I find when

546
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: they suddenly you find we live in l A. You

547
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: find out the Super Bowls in l A. Obviously with

548
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: the new stadium, they're gonna put the draft there. I

549
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: in the person that is annoyed by what should be

550
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: a traveling road trip. Suddenly I don't go anywhere. I

551
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: have to just dry basically take a train or a

552
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: bus to get there or an uber. I don't like

553
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: that at all. And secondly, I'm different and I like

554
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: the idea of sleeping in my bed there. Well that's fine,

555
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: that's the other three forty nights a year, though, please.

556
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: But they were talking about moving the Combine potentially after

557
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: don't mess with me on that one. I don't want.

558
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: I like Indianapolis with the Combine, every perfect little fit.

559
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: Actually I'm I'm the opposite. I've of course you are.

560
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: I like what I'm just saying. I like the Indianapolis.

561
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: I like Indianapolis. I think it's a great setup. But

562
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: after fifteen of them or so, it's like done enough.

563
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: You can't be replaced. Be careful. I'm just saying. If

564
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: I let's go to another city, just be careful what

565
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: you wished for though, because if it's anything other than

566
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 1: a warm weather city, indian has that that tunnel system

567
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: which you don't need to go outside other than the

568
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: cross one little street. I'm wanting to take a chance. Yeah,

569
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: they're moving. I think it's coming. I don't need another

570
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't need another year of people trying to convince

571
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: you say al Mos is some you know, great, thank you,

572
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: thank you. Last time, when we were at the Combine,

573
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: I was hearing rumors of people saying that they want

574
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: to try Dallas, but the Dallas Stadium is thirty minutes outside.

575
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be there that whole Dallas and maybe the worst

576
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl week. I've been told it would be. I

577
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: don't know, especially if your tickets suddenly didn't exist with

578
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: the seat you. Hope you're all right. That is it

579
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: for the news, and uh, what's next. Let's get to

580
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: a little I there's a lot of stress in that news.

581
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: Let's relax with a little guided meditation re Marxist, a

582
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: guided meditation. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, please

583
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: put down your activities and close your eyes and keep

584
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: them closed. Wave goodbye to your stresses, the hassle of

585
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: daily life. Truly be in the moment. Listen to the

586
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: sounds around you, the beauty of our world all around you.

587
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: Now I want you to envision right in front of

588
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: you a figure, a masculine figure. Who is it. Oh,

589
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: it's Dan Hands is our host, right there in front

590
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: of you, looking right into your eyes. And not just

591
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: any Dan Hans is, but Dan Hands is dressed as

592
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: a fireman, a very manly, vic heroic fireman. Because you

593
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: now realize that all around you is a big burning building,

594
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: walls collapsing, people screaming. Death is near, but not for you.

595
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Dan Hands is the fireman. She's here to save you.

596
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: He pulls you into his arms and carries you through

597
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: the burning and burst out of the white hot chaos,

598
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: beyond the noise, out to quiet grasses. He lays you

599
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: down safely in the grass and tells you I'll be back.

600
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: I need to save the others. And you feel cared

601
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: for and safe and content inside because of Dan the Fireman. Now,

602
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: slowly open your eyes and return to our world. And

603
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: please check the see if anyone's stolen your wallet or

604
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: your purse if you are a girl. The end, it

605
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: feels like some kind of indoctrination. Oh my god, I

606
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: feel like I'm watching the episode of This is Us.

607
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I do feel more relaxed. I've seen that. I do

608
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: feel more relaxed. Good. That was the goal and the

609
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: song and but and the exciting journey into Mark's subconscious

610
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, I let you know. I imagine this comes

611
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: about because Mark's lying in bed and he's having this

612
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: beautiful vision and that's really well, was a sign of

613
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: how close Mark and Dan are. It's it's a window

614
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: into their And didn't you get like the calendar, the

615
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: fund raising fireman calendar, Dan hand just I mean that

616
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: type of sure, right? I think Mark planted a seed

617
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: in my mind that I am now always going to

618
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: think of Dan as more manly than I did before.

619
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: That was the goal. So I'm glad that, you know, hit,

620
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad why she's just just rolls there,

621
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: not gonna throw this on the all the aftermath. Sorry, sorry, Rhett,

622
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: you know it's not doing any guided meditations. Let's get

623
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: back to um little football talk before we finish off

624
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: the show with five minutes in Weisch's world. And uh,

625
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: this football talk is pretty open ended. Uh it's about

626
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: the sneaky potential stars of and uh I got the idea. Actually,

627
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, just I wrote an article this week. It's

628
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: a little different, Actually it was. It's it's an article

629
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: about the homegrown players on on any a f C

630
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: or NFC team. I think I was feeling refreshed after

631
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: that Tybee visit. It just makes everyone happy and feeling

632
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: basically just like different players that I wanted a preview

633
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: and talk about going in the season. But for this

634
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: specific exercise, let's talk about some guys we actually think

635
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: can make an impact and we think is ultimately I

636
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 1: think we think it's gonna be good. That they're a

637
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: little under the radar, but that they're in a position

638
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: where they're gonna be very important to their team. In

639
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: why don't we start with Mark Sessler. I look at

640
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: a team that has a pretty stacked backfield, but I

641
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: think it's second rounder Miles Sanders for the Eagles that

642
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: has a chance to be I think it's gonna be

643
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: a hot hand back field because you want if you

644
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: find you have a runner who can get into the

645
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: flow and make a big impact. I don't think you

646
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 1: draft him in the second round unless you identify the

647
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: fact we don't have our guy that can do everything

648
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: we want, and that's not Jordan Howard. To me, they

649
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: gave Josh Adams that chance last year. You still have

650
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: Corey Clement, and I think Miles Sanders is gonna at

651
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: least be given a chance in a offense that's still

652
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz operating at full power can kill you

653
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: through the through the air as well. It's a great situation.

654
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: You saw what was happening pre injury with that ground

655
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: attack when they had a stable of backs, how they

656
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: pounded teams down the stretch, and I thought that was

657
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting offenses to watch because they

658
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: could kill you in so many different ways and they

659
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: still can. And so I'm picking Miles Sanders is someone

660
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: that And I also think the running back position in general,

661
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: by week eight, you could be a rookie and be

662
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: a foundational star in your offense. I like, I like that.

663
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's like I like a sneaky name. Like

664
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: you hear Miles Sanders and you're like, oh, that's probably

665
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be one of the best running backs in

666
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: the league. Barry's cousin, by the way, really see, we

667
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: don't know Eno, Like I don't know enough about him.

668
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: We do not know enough. Right, They're loaded, like where

669
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: it's a great spot to be for a running back.

670
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: The offensive line is great. They love Dallas Goddard. They

671
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: probably have the best tight end combination in the league.

672
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 1: You've got Wentz finally with like a full healthy off season,

673
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: as the man got to Seawan Jackson poll. The receivers

674
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: down are DB's downfield. So yeah, I like, you don't

675
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: want the guys like Jordan Howard or Corey kind of

676
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: tip like, Okay, they're good on passing downs. Are the

677
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: good running down that? Why do the Chiefs like O

678
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard? I think for that, you know, excuse me

679
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: the Bears from a Chief's offense. That was where my

680
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: mind was West, What's up? So I looked at this

681
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: A is like young homegrown players who showed special traits

682
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: or flashes of dominance down the stretch, but people don't

683
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: really know about them. Yeah, this I thought. From Thanksgiving

684
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: to the end of the season, there was only I

685
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: think Jamal Adams is the only safety better in the

686
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: league than Bomb Bell of the Saints. What a great call. Nice,

687
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: he was spectacular. Everybody talked about their front seven when

688
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: they started shutting people down the end of the year.

689
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: They were one of the best defenses in the league. Word,

690
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: and I thought Von Bell was incredible. To me, he's

691
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: a pro bowler this year. Yeah. With Eli Apple coming

692
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: to kind of still litified things at that other corner.

693
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: That's a really interesting that comes from the game pass

694
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: tape watching. Yeah, that there. It's so weird that their

695
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: defense now looks pretty bulletproof on paper. I mean things

696
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: things always changed, especially on defensive, but the secondary, especially

697
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: if you have Von Bell, Marcus Williams pretty good. He

698
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: had a good Marshawn Latimer is coming off and down here,

699
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: but he's shown enough that you obviously like him a lot.

700
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: Eli Apple was good for them. They should get Patrick Robinson,

701
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: but it's like a lot. Uh, that's a lot of juice.

702
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: Like one guy I thought about for this exercise was

703
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: just Marcus Davenport. Not that he's like a secret, but

704
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: to me, he could be the difference between them being

705
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: a really good defense and just great if he's just

706
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: like this absolute force. But Bell has already shown it.

707
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: I love that's a good pick because he's been around

708
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: for a few years. Like sometimes guys developed late, and

709
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: he was a twenty sixteen second rounder. I think this

710
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: is his fourth year in the league. But you're right,

711
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: he came on like Gangbusters and defense has most underrated

712
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: linebacker in the NFL, And to Mario Davis, he was

713
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: It looked like a top five defense on paper, which

714
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: is sneaky Dennis Allen in its own right. Okay, so

715
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm going this way. Okay, we're talking about all the

716
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: losses that the Ravens have had on their defense. You know,

717
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: there's a reason why they gave up to outside linebackers

718
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: since serious smith A Terrell sucks. They think Matt Judon

719
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: is a guy who's going to be an impactful player

720
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: looking he had fifteen sacks over the past two years

721
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: in a rotational role. He's entering i believe his fourth

722
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: or fifth season. Um it was a small college player

723
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: who kind of grew physical and everything, and I think

724
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: he's somebody he's gonna get the opportunity now. They're they're

725
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: speaking well of and weak Martin Neal. They're d C

726
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: does a lot of really interesting things, reducing guys inside,

727
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: moving him outside. But I think him as an outside

728
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: linebacker pass rusher has to do all of the things.

729
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean the after outside linebackers do a lot. I

730
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: think Matt Judon is a player who we're not talking

731
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: about now so much because he can have a lot

732
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: on him who by the end of the season was

733
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: like whoa and like what coaching staff do we trust

734
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: more to develop defensive talent from within? Well, he's one

735
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: of those guys that at this at in February next year,

736
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: like West and I, when we do our free agency list,

737
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: it's like you can just imagine Matt be like Matt

738
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: Judah on coming off a monster year is the ninth

739
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: best player in free agents? Like who the hell is

740
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: talking about Zadarius Smith at this time a year ago,

741
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: no One, and then he got seventeen million dollars a year.

742
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: It's just like a little factory there and they're doing

743
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: They need him without Sucks and Zadarius Smith. It can't

744
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: be seven or eight Sex. It's gotta be twelve or

745
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: thirteen Sex this year. And they need a couple of

746
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: guys to step up, but he's probably the leader. Got

747
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Ferguson. They drafted Tim Williams. I'm gonna go. I'm

748
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: gonna go with another defensive player. They signed Shane Ray.

749
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm gonna go with another defensive player that

750
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: came on strong at the end of last year. Tremaine

751
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: Edmonds coming going into his second year with the Bills.

752
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: He I just remember him early in the year being like,

753
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: oh man, this guy is not what everyone said he was.

754
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: They made him a middle linebacker. Right off the bat.

755
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: He was struggling. He was giving up big plays, not

756
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: like taking good angles. But quietly at the end of

757
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: the year, especially if you listen to their coaching staff,

758
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: and he was the defensive Rookie of the Month in December,

759
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: it's sort of all slowed down for him and he's

760
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: playing that Luke Keickley role in Sean McDermott's defense, and

761
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: I remember some of those games in December. He was

762
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: everywhere and they talk about him like like he is

763
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: the leader of this defense for the next decade. They

764
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: do a film study every week where it's just the players,

765
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: and Kyle Williams ran it forever in in December, he

766
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: was just he knew he I guess he knew he was.

767
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: He was retiring. He handed it over to Tremaine Edmonds

768
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: because he said, this dude is our leader. This guy

769
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: does more work than anything. And he was twenty years old.

770
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: That's the other thing that really stands out to me.

771
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: He was the youngest player in league. He ended up

772
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: starting sixteen games. So now you're coming into your second

773
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: year and you have that confidence and you show it

774
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, you can kind of

775
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: put it all together where you're just reacting and you

776
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: got Matt Milano next to you, who's kind of his

777
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis not saying they're gonna be that good, but

778
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: I think if the Bill's defense is gonna be like

779
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: the how John McDermott believes it's gonna be, Edmonds is

780
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of notice and and have a

781
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: big jump in his second I love that. Can you

782
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: talking about Luke Kickly? I mean, what's what do you

783
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: hear mostly about Luke Kikley? He knows the play before

784
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: you're you're asking a rookie to diagnose an awful lot.

785
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: There's no way he can get that earliest calling the plays. Yeah, right,

786
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: the fact he made that progress and the Bills are

787
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna be you know you're talking, we're talking about sneaky players.

788
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: The Bill is gonna be one of those teams. We're

789
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough out this year. We're fans. We

790
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: we we had Sean McDermott on during the COMMA or

791
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: during the owner's meetings, and it's not hard with our

792
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: show when a coach that we like sits down with

793
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: us that for the next two or three years, were

794
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: just like, you could do no wrong. We're totally he's

795
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: such an awesome guy. Yeah, We're like, if we actually

796
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: went out and covered, the team would just be in

797
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: the back. That's why we're gonna stay here and that

798
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: way we can just fired daggers. All right, let's go

799
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: around one more time. I guess all right, so let's

800
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: So when I was when I mentioned Jordan Howard as

801
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: a Chiefs player, what I what I had in my

802
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: head was the fact that the reason the Bears, I thought,

803
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: moved on from him. And I had a couple of

804
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: Bears fan friends that you know, they texted like why

805
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: on earth? Like why not just keep him from one

806
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: more year? And I think it's because Matt Nagy knows

807
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: exactly what worked in Kansas City and what he wants

808
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: in his offense that is his own offense, but pulls

809
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 1: a lot from Kansas City. That's why I think David

810
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: Montgomery has a big role there, and they went out

811
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: and made an effort to get him to pair him

812
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: with Tarik Cohen, and I love tree Comb, but you

813
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: can't lean on tree Cone to do everything and David.

814
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: They also have Mike Davis, but Montgomery is a guy

815
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: that caught seventy one passes in college, fifty over the left,

816
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: fifty eight over the last two year's. Niggie's come out

817
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: and called him a three down back. I want to

818
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: use him in every way possible, And to me, that

819
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: just speaks on someone that they we looked at you,

820
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: we know who you are, and you're a fit for us.

821
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: We didn't inherit you. Uh, we trust you to do

822
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: everything and to me, if he does it well, if

823
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: he shows that early on he can handle the capability

824
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: of the playbook and everything else, goodbye, he's gonna be

825
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: a big part of that offense. I thought half the

826
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: Bears roster fits this topic. Guys like Eddie Goldman, Taco

827
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: people don't really know about. Terek Cohen himself is the

828
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: engine that makes this offense go, not Alan Robertson, who's

829
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: getting all the money. And yet you kind of expect

830
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: if I had to guess, that's tough. There's a lot

831
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: of variables. But Montgomery, if he out snapped Coh in

832
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: this year, wouldn't be a surprise. It's gonna be probably depends.

833
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, he's a really small guy. He

834
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: can't carry the ball and you catch a ton of

835
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: passes just because of of his size. And that's why

836
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: this a perfect fit in Montgomery. He's not someone who

837
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna win a foot race, you know, like three Cohen

838
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: in the open field. But man, he is a tough

839
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: player to tackle. Um. He runs very low to the

840
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: ground so he can hide. Um, I'm with you. I

841
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: think the beers. You with this thing right this, this

842
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: topic right here, We're gonna put half their team. He's

843
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: also the official player of Adam Rank. I feel like

844
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: every day Adam Rank has a rule he has to

845
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: send a new Instagram post about David Montgomery. It's quite

846
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: a personal rule to be. I like that. It's a

847
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: personal code. We love Rank, We love Rank. What's up, buddy.

848
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: I have a sneaky defensive star you never hear about,

849
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: but might hold more value to his franchise than anyone

850
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: else on the roster, little guy by the name of

851
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. You can argue that A. J. Green and

852
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: GINO Atkins better relative to their peers, but considering age

853
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: in his premium position, William Jackson thank you as a

854
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: strong case as the most valuable player on the Bengals roster.

855
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk up there about him now

856
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: with some of the shift they're doing. Really, Eric is

857
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: always talking about that. William stopped discussing him because they're

858
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: they're doing this three or four or fourthree flexibility. They

859
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a star up there. Wow, Yeah,

860
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: we're on deep. Yeah, as deep as I dug that wine,

861
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: he was, he was someone he was like a slot

862
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: guy that then they not a slot guy but a

863
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: part time he didn't play every snap two years ago,

864
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: and then he went into last year with a lot

865
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: of like he's an analytics favorite, a lot of hype.

866
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if like he had like a monster

867
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: year a year ago, but you think he's gonna take

868
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: even another step here? I think he's already one of

869
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: the best cornerbacks, Okay, and they drafted a couple of

870
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: corners that have not really equaled their draft pedigree. So

871
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: this is a nice turn of events. Absolutely, I'm going

872
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: with a big name, a name we've heard former first

873
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: round draft pick, expectations, made big money, hasn't lived up

874
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: to it, but this is gonna be his year in

875
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: that Sammy Watkins. Okay, christ like this because he's a guy. Look,

876
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: last year, they paid him the huge contract, the contract

877
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: that really upset the wide receiver market. I mean, people

878
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are paying him this much money in

879
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: a fourteen million a year only forty catches five nineteen

880
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: yards and the foot injury, didn't play the final five

881
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: or six games, but then those performances in the two

882
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: postseason games, ten catches a hundred sixties hundred six yards

883
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: a TV showed up big. We don't know the Tyree

884
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: Kills situation. We know Pat Mahomes is probably gonna be

885
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: better in his third teason under Andy Reid and Sammy

886
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: Watkins has a lot of proving to do so, even

887
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: though again he's a big name. We know the potential

888
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: is there. He hasn't. We haven't seen it consistently. I

889
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: think this is finally the breakout. The opportunities there. I guess, like,

890
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I gotta see it. I roll there

891
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: it is no, no, no, no, it's not. And he

892
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: would have been a perfect like he is so important.

893
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: I can't like, he's so important to their team. I

894
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: need I need to see it from him. I guess

895
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: we all do. There are a lot of NFL players

896
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: who are great for two or three games a year,

897
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: and he's one of them. He needs to be great

898
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: for eleven or twelve games. It's it's the old basketball analogy.

899
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: I think was Gary Williams, University of Maryland former coach.

900
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: He said, you know, certain players dominate, you know, like

901
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: a minute or two. Yeah, he's never dominated that stretch,

902
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: and that's that's what we need to see him. But

903
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: he's got to be the dude this year. No one's

904
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: talking about him. He's yeah, now, you're right, so and

905
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: I think this is He's got all the physical tools,

906
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: who can keep his feet healthy, but the durability is

907
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: the issue. I'm gonna wrap up with another receiver and uh,

908
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: it's a second year player. Didn't get a lot of

909
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: notice late last year because who really wanted to be

910
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: watching c jave bethor to Nick Mullins. But Dante Pettis

911
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: had some moments as a rookie that were impressive to me.

912
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: He only ended up he had four hundred and sixty

913
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: seven yards and five touchdowns as the rookie, which doesn't

914
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: sound like a lot, but he basically only played eight games.

915
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: There are three or four other games where he essentially

916
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: had no snaps. He basically played half the season put

917
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: up those kind of numbers, and and the way Shanahan

918
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: talks about him, he says he's not a slot guy.

919
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: He's not. Now, it's like you, there's no law in

920
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: the NFL like you don't want guys that are just

921
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: your like X receiver. And maybe that's a little issue

922
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: with Watkins. Is he that versatile. Pettis lines up on

923
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: both outside slots, he lines up in the middle. He

924
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: does a little bit of everything. And when you watch him,

925
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: he just kind of glides like he's a small guy,

926
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: but he just it's like he's so smooth with his routes.

927
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: I always like the guys who are just known for

928
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: the route running, and he was really good at that.

929
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: And when you look at the receiver corps, if they're

930
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna put up numbers, someone's gotta put up some numbers

931
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: in that group. And to me, he's kind of he's

932
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: easily the best bet because he's been there for a year.

933
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: He showed a little something. He does a little bit

934
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: of everything. I asked Josh Norris from the Road to

935
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: World podcast and the Draft guy uh there if he

936
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: had any comparison for him. He he he had an

937
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: interest way. He said, if Michael Thomas was like twenty

938
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: pounds lighter, maybe a little Dante Pettridge I thought was

939
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: an interesting one because he can do a little bit everything.

940
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: He's good at the catchpoint, he's good making plays after

941
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: the catch. He's been a punch like he can do

942
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. That's what I want. But

943
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: Thomas was twenty pounds lighter. Would he be in the NFL.

944
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: He'd bet there's a little more gas too now. But

945
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: he can he can run, he can run away from you. Yeah. Wow,

946
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: I like it. I like the pedesting because again you

947
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: know they've got killed the tight end. But then you'll

948
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: keep asking who's who's who was there? You got a

949
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: couple of rookies there. You got almost feel like we

950
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: should do a speed round with no commentary because I

951
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: know that we all can do it. We can do

952
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: this segment again. I like this is we could come

953
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: back to that. I like it. I'll keep money now.

954
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: It's just like you can talk about anyone in the NFL,

955
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: thirty more guys. Really, Yeah, we can come back to

956
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: this in a few weeks or something. Whatever part of

957
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: you guys were like getting on me on the phone.

958
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: You're like, this looks like a sixty five minute show,

959
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: and as the host, I'm trying to prevent that, trying

960
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: to get us out of here. Yea, And I just

961
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: feel like we're on the doorstep right here of them.

962
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: What's gonna be magic and that's a trip. Let's do

963
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: it into Weiss's world. Um, I'm not gonna even start

964
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: the clock quite yet, but I think we can play

965
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: the music just to get into the mood. Um now,

966
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: Oh yes, Steve's wife is Jamaican, one of the great

967
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: um nfl um employee wives in the game. Maybe maybe

968
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: right there at the top, but he's not an employee

969
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: here and she's from Jamaica. So that's just I don't know.

970
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't you know. That was the closest yet for

971
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: some for some music and because again, um relaxed but professional.

972
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: That's what it's like in Weiss's world. We have five

973
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: minutes to ask Steve whatever questions we've always wanted to

974
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 1: ask Steve after all the his years in the business.

975
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: And uh, let's start it right now, Mark, let's go,

976
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: who is the last person you spooned with? That would

977
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: be the white Yeah, I mean, what kind of questions

978
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm checking? I think we can we tell we can

979
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: trust you right out of the game. But after after

980
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: your Dan hands this imagery, you know, if I were to,

981
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: if I were to, you know, look out the other eye,

982
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: I may have to go Dan, all right, fireman calendar

983
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: of all right? Topping on what's better? The word itself

984
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: were the delightfully, Briany Relish you might find on a

985
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: high octane sandwich. That is a great question. But I've

986
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: got to since i just had some lovely olive topping

987
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: od last week, and I've got to see the taste

988
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: over the time, because i don't even eat olives, but

989
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: the taste of the topping is right there. I'm not

990
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: really Uh, what's new Orleans? Come on, man, Yeah, it

991
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: was a great question. All right, Let's go back to

992
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: the couple. A lot of people think of you and

993
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: d is kind of the first couple of the NFL

994
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: media group. What are you thinking about some of the

995
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: buzz going along that Chris Wesley and Keisha are coming

996
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: for your throne? Any rivalry there that they want to

997
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: be the first couple of you know, I love because

998
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: you know there's some similarity, is there? You know, Keisha's

999
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: from the lou I'm from the Loop. Okay, Um, she's wonderful.

1000
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: Chris is wonderful. I'm sure. You know, Like when people say,

1001
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: what's the first one word describe your wife, I'm just like,

1002
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: she's just cool. And if we say, okay, what's the

1003
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: first word that comes to mind to say West, He's

1004
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: just cool. So if we were ever to like retire

1005
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: the throne or have some big dragon come and burn

1006
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: us out of the phone, I would love for West

1007
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: and Keisha to be the succession player. I'd much rather

1008
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: be the hand of the king. How about this one?

1009
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: You can answer this with a yes or no? Was

1010
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: and is Peyton Manning as pure and perfect as the

1011
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: public has been led to believe that I know, I don't.

1012
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna push you for details. Go West well.

1013
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: Akin to that topic, more likely to be lost to

1014
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: the sands of time. A hypothetical designated pinch runner who

1015
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: continually take second base on defensive interference? What or the

1016
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: other two thirty two games of Eli Manning's career. WHOA,

1017
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: that was deep pitch runner. I'm leaving it there. That

1018
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: was deep. Um, all right, give us give us one

1019
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: story from your experience as the host of nfl am

1020
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: for listeners of the podcast, this was a program Steve

1021
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: was a host of that. When did you have to

1022
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: wake up every morning twelve thirty in the morning. No,

1023
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: I was in studio. I was in studio. You had

1024
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 1: to show up for work every day at twelve thirty

1025
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: to go live on the three. Give us, uh a

1026
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: just or any thoughts or recollection or a story from

1027
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: your time. And one of the best is actually we

1028
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: were on the set. It was the day when Aaron

1029
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: Hernandez was getting arrested. Okay, and so great times. How

1030
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: about this was the only one that had a camera

1031
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: still a lot everyone had pulled their cameras back from

1032
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: that shot, from the shot we're having from across his house.

1033
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 1: So we're sitting there, I'm sitting there watching the monitor

1034
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: of Aaron hernant Is getting arrested. Meanwhile, those who shall

1035
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: remain name was a eating highlights and talking about what's

1036
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,320
Speaker 1: going on, prompting Steve, why should you say, excuse me,

1037
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm watching a monitor of Aaron Hernandez getting cuffed as

1038
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: he's taking you putting on his white T shirt over this,

1039
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: and and it was a big oh yeah, like you know,

1040
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: we've only even talked about this for like six weeks

1041
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: now two months. Yes, it's happening, and fortunately you know

1042
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: my uh, you know, desire for the news. Great job.

1043
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: Well that was that was a good pro a good

1044
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: pat on in your own back, a good use of

1045
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: the third person. I think it's contagious with that chair

1046
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: using the third person. We know that you're a wine connoisseur,

1047
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: proven here today but other times as well. Let's say

1048
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm having just rewatched sideways on the plane to West's wedding.

1049
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: Who would you choose to go on a nice l

1050
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: a up the coast central northern California boozy wine tour

1051
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: with what NFL coach would you pick? What NFL coach

1052
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: dold I pick? For executive I'll throw it out. No, no, no, look,

1053
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: let's let's keep it the coaches. Who would I pick?

1054
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: I would probably wow, to keep this, to keep this

1055
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: quick and keep it moving, I'd probably say Sean Payton

1056
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: love it seems like I think glasses of wine and

1057
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: we have some good conversations. If the topic is the

1058
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: most dynamic, electric captivating athlete completely unknown to anyone under

1059
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: the age of thirty, would former Red center fielder Eric

1060
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: Davis the number one contender? Leading? Eric Davis looked a

1061
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: great athlete, but he would not be the number one contender.

1062
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,520
