Speaker 2: one is finally here.

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: We have a football game not very long, and then

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: we got another football game, and then we got a

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: weekend the football game Saturday and Sunday and then Monday.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: It's hard not to smile, it really is.

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: It's just air smells a little better, sun looks a

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: little brighter.

39
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: Life's good.

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: But life's definitely good for Trent Williams, who showed up

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: and got a lot more money. So I want to

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: dive into the Niners because they had a lot going

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: on today. Trent Williams back UK had kind of admitted

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: some stuff the pearce All situation. What a roller coaster

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: ride that, you know, Colin and so many people are

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: down on the forty nine ers. I got to push

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: back on that a little bit. Something I saw in

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: the college football world that I think has changed pretty

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, obviously with the transferred portal Nil. It's just

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: it's just a different world than the college football I

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: think we used to know in terms of parody and

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: quarterback play, and it was on full display all weekend,

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: but it was evident in the Florida State game, and

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: I think Nebraska is a pretty good example of that.

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: We'll hit on a couple of other NFL stories. Grew

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: John Gruden. Gruden Grinders has a YouTube channel and then

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: to some other stuff as well as a Middlecoff mailbag

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire.

59
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: Into those dms.

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Colin and I did something yesterday. I did a reaction

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night from Monday to all the college football weekend,

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: and we'll obviously have podcasts for this week's games on

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: what Reaction Thursday night, Friday night boys working. You know,

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I got to pay the bills around here, definitely something

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Sunday with Colin. I'll do something else Sunday night after

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Lions Rams and Monday night we'll just keep on rolling.

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm shooting a golf video tomorrow. We'll get on YouTube

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: next week. So we got a lot going on. We

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of moving parts, fun times, great time

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: of year.

71
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: My juices are flowing.

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: But make sure you subscribe to the podcast, make sure

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the YouTube channel, and yeah, we'll keep

74
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the content flowing. But first, if you want to go

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: to one of these football games. I always get so

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: amped up when I see the videos of college football

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: teams doing singing, whether it's singing Tom Petty, whether it's Alabama,

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Dixie Land Delight and everyone's it's just like, it's just

79
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: so cool. And if you want to go to one

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: of these college football games, there's really no atmosphere like it.

81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: The NFL is so unique because the tailgating and going

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: with your community, right if you're a Bengals fan, an

83
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, a Giants fan of whoever, it's just it's

Speaker 2: Lowest prices guaranteed.

97
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: I remember and said something years ago. He has a

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: couple of sayings that have stuck with me, and I

99
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: can't even remember what I did three weeks ago. But

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: this saying is something if you like business, if you

101
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: work in the business world, that I think is something

102
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: that you should keep in your back pocket because it's

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: very true for most of us, you know, especially younger people.

104
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: You don't have much leverage.

105
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: When I first got hired at Fresno State with Philadelphia

106
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: even in radio, like hey here's fifty grand, here's seventy grand,

107
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Like you weren't negotiating, No, I want triple. It's like

108
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: they kind of got you in. The older you get,

109
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: the more successful you are, in any industry, you know,

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you get a little more power. And his comment was simply,

111
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: you don't often have leverage. When you get it, use it.

112
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: And then if you become a bohemoth like.

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: What Apple is.

114
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: Now you can charge Google ten billion dollars to use

115
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: Google Chrome on the iPhone because that is on the

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: homepage when you search, it's Google Chrome. Well, how do

117
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: you think that gets there? Google pays a lot of money.

118
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: Apple takes a lot of shit for how they operate

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: in their app store. Well, guess what most businesses you

120
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: got to be on in the app store?

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Why?

122
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: Because the amount of money that flows through there from

123
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: a business standpoint, and a lot of companies and I'm

124
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: sure many people listening to this like, you're kind of

125
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: dependent on a couple people, right, I know a lot

126
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: of businesses are dependent on their distribution. Channels are dependent

127
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: on maybe a certain contact or too. I've had these

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: situations in the podcast world when I had the right

129
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: contact for a certain company and the advertise and that

130
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: change and then the advertiser went away. And things can

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: change really really quickly in basically any industry, right, I

132
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: don't care who's on top for how long. You never

133
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: know Rome fell, Apple can fall, the Patriots can fall.

134
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: It happens. It's life.

135
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Things go in cycles. And as a player, as an

136
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: individual player, you know you can all played for so long.

137
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: What Tom Brady did is an all time outlier situation.

138
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: So every contract holdout negotiation to me is not the same.

139
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: It's like scouting a player. Every player is their own entity.

140
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Some holdouts I'm like, yeah, makes sense. Some are like,

141
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I et Levey on Bell. I

142
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: remember when.

143
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: That was happening. So many people in the media were.

144
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Like, he's standing on business, He's doing what he thinks right,

145
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: And even him, like six seven years later called it

146
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: a massive mistake.

147
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: Of course it was.

148
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: He gave up fifteen million dollars. What you're literally fifteen

149
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: million dollars richer whatever after taxes eight or nine. Then

150
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: you would have been currently like that happened. What a

151
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: son Reddick is doing right now? Assuming let's just say

152
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: he never plays a snap for the Jets, he will

153
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: be fourteen million dollars poorer. Like, that's a fact. It's

154
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: not debatable.

155
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: It's black and white.

156
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: And Brandon Ayuka is like, the offering you this contract, man,

157
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty damn good, you should probably take it. And

158
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: then there's Trent Williams. You go, well, I'm an eleven

159
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: time pro bowler, I'm widely considered the best left tackle

160
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: in the league and a future Hall of Famer, And

161
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: I like Kyle and I like playing for the forty

162
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: nine ers. It's been incredible for my career. It's first

163
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: time I get to consistently win. But this is a business,

164
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: and I've seen enough guys, including some of my great peers.

165
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was told by Bill Belichick essentially, we don't

166
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: want you. I'm shorting you as a player. And even

167
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, if you look back, didn't have that many options.

168
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers went with Jimmy Garoppolo. They had

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: the conversation sticking with Jimmy, Titans sticking with Ryan Tannehill,

170
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders sticking with Derek Carr.

171
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: That happened.

172
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was cut. We have seen countless other players,

173
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: Darrell Reevis, some of the best players of the last

174
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: decade cut or forced out. Luke Keigley chance to become

175
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: one of the great linebackers of all time, and then

176
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: he started getting concussions and they wouldn't stop, and he

177
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: had to retire really young. No sport do things change

178
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: on a dime like they do in the NFL. Trent

179
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: Williams literally got sick years ago with cancer and the

180
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: doctors looked at him and said, you might not make it.

181
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: So he knows just from a human element how short

182
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: life could be potentially, and from a football standpoint, he's

183
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: played long enough to see his peers at the highest

184
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: level get thrown in the trash. So when he said

185
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: today this was about security, it's a volatile league. He's

186
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right now. The only time you could

187
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: make a play like this as a player when you

188
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: got three years left and eighty million dollars, even if

189
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: it's not guaranteed, when you have one hundred percent of

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: the leverage, because that's what he had. The forty nine

191
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: ers need him. They don't have a replacement, and no

192
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: one does when you have a player like that. But

193
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, specifically, their offensive line is kind

194
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: of not great, and he's not just their best offensive lineman.

195
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: He's the best arguably offensive lineman in the league and

196
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the league. So he

197
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to bend him over a Barrel. Now,

198
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: he probably wanted even more than he got, but they

199
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: got to a number that he felt comfortable was worth

200
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: flying back and getting ready for this game. And I

201
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: also think this is a combination of he knew he

202
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: was gonna win this negotiation when it started, why because

203
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: he had all the leverage, and two at his age, Yeah,

204
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't really want to spend the most month of

205
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: August in Santa Clair. I'm totally blame him. And there

206
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: is a small, small percentage of players in this league

207
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: that could pull that off. There's literally not a quarterback

208
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: who could pull it off like Patrick Mahomes could. Yeah,

209
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: but you can't operate in training camp without your starting quarterback.

210
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: You need that guy around pass rushers. We saw Michael

211
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Strahan do it back in the day. As he got older,

212
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't want to be at training camp

213
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: and you don't like making exceptions for individuals. But sometimes

214
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: like Trent Williams, Now, granted they did find him I

215
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: think over four million dollars, but the way they did

216
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: the deal, he essentially got it right back. So I

217
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: just think Trent Williams is a good example of a

218
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: player who's seen so many guys that if he would

219
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: have just shown up on the contract, which was still

220
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: pretty lucrative, right, And the forty nine ers don't plan

221
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: on cutting him, but what if he got injured or

222
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: what if it's play dipped, They get rid of him

223
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't even hesitate, because that's the way the

224
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: NFL works. It's what we like about the NFL. Unlike baseball,

225
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: you signed one of these terrible contracts, you're just stuck

226
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: with the guy. In basketball, how many contracts throughout the league.

227
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: If you gave the GM of that team, you can

228
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: press a button in this contract immediately evaporates, and this

229
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: guy is a free agent. Can you imagine how many NBA.

230
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: Teams would press that button.

231
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, the NBA is given away all this money,

232
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: most of it is to players.

233
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: You're like, you can't, you're doing what.

234
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: But you're stuck because it's all guaranteed.

235
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: Football is the opposite.

236
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: It's why so many teams can get good fast because

237
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: you're never stuck very long. And Trent played his card

238
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: and he won, and ultimately the forty nine Ers win

239
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: because as long as he's still good, you're in great shape.

240
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: Can't overpay Trent Williams if he just maintains his Pro

241
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Bowl level of play at left tackle protecting Brock Purty,

242
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: so he can throw it to Deebo Samuel, George Kittle,

243
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, and Brandon Nyuk. It's why I've said this

244
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: whole time, all this reaction. Colin mentioned this yesterday.

245
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers are in shambles.

246
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: Well, Brandon Nyuk was never gonna be on the Pittsburgh

247
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: Steelers because they had nothing to offer. Trent Williams was

248
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: never gonna retire because the forty Nineers were always gonna

249
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: pay him. Now what date that happened, we didn't know,

250
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: but it was kind of inevitable. And now they got

251
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: these two guys. They already have a great defense, they

252
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: have a fantastic coach like and they have a very

253
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: very productive young quarterback who's played at a Pro Bowl

254
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: level last year. So I would imagine they're still gonna

255
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: be really good.

256
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,479
Speaker 2: What about Seattle?

257
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: You mean a guy that's never been a head coach

258
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: with Gino Smith as his quarterback. Yeah, I'm gonna take

259
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers on that one.

260
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: So I what about the Bears over.

261
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Matti Euberflus got good hair, good looking beard. I like

262
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams.

263
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: Future.

264
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: But let's pump the brakes.

265
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: A little bit there.

266
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: So I think everyone's trying to anoint these What about

267
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: Raheem Morrison, Kirk Cousins say that again out loud.

268
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers is gonna be okay? Are they gonna

269
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl?

270
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, they got eight guys making

271
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: over fifteen million, so from a cap standpoint, better now

272
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: than never. But they're gonna be really damn good and

273
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be right in the mix as they've been

274
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: for the last three or four years, unless they have

275
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: a couple catastrophic injuries, like any team that you can't overcome.

276
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: I'll give Brandon I you credit on this. He said today,

277
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: I made this more difficult than it had to be

278
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: cause he did.

279
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: Now.

280
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate guys that can acknowledge like I played a

281
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: role in this, cause it'd be easy for him to

282
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: be like, I'm not talking about That's what coaches always do.

283
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: The conversation was between me and him. I'm gonna keep

284
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: that private. We're gonna keep that in the family. You know,

285
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: any of you that grew up in old school homes know,

286
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: like this does not leave the house. Now everyone's on

287
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: social media posting their entire life. Back us kids that

288
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: were growing up in the eighties and the nineties, it

289
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: was like, this does not leave these doors. That's how

290
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: coaches and executives talk. I'm gonna keep the contract talk.

291
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: Between me and his agent and me and the player private.

292
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: And Brandon Nike's like, yeah, I made this more difficult

293
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: than it had to be. But I mentioned this last week, like,

294
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: is this gonna be a guy that was bitter and angry?

295
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: And he wasn't. He seems very very happy. And ultimately

296
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers ad Trent Williams, they add Brandon,

297
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: I you, Christian McAffer he's back at practice. I've heard

298
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: non stop, you know, I've heard Bill Simmons say this.

299
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of people.

300
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey like, what's his situation this year?

301
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: He said, like.

302
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Three weeks ago, if there was a game on Sunday,

303
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: he would have played. I've been going to these practices

304
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: long enough, and a lot of teams do this. They

305
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: don't ask that much out of their star players. Why

306
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: because they're star players. Christian McCaffrey works outre hundred and

307
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: sixty five days a year, so does Nick Bosa Trent

308
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: Williams at training camp. The last couple of years that

309
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: I've been going, I wouldn't exactly call his regiment the

310
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Bear Bryant Junction Boys, the Double Days of like Bobby

311
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: Bowden's Florida State teams in the early nineties. It's not

312
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: what it looked like. There was a lot of just

313
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: kind of kicking it on the sideline. Why because he's

314
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: ready to roll and he's also old. Now Brandon Ayuk

315
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: his rapport with Purdy, they have a good one over

316
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. But you know, he's missed

317
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: the last forty plus dights where Saucegarter and all the

318
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Jets guys they've been training, so they're just in the

319
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: mix of football. He's been doing the mental stuff because

320
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: he's been there. But I think there is a question

321
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: mark how he's.

322
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: Gonna look on Monday.

323
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: Night and the way our society works, including myself, I'm

324
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: guilty of this to react to the games that if

325
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: he looks bad, people.

326
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: Are gonna be critical.

327
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Now over the course of the year, if he plays well,

328
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: it'll all subside in quiet down. But I would say

329
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on him on Monday night

330
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: to look good, to look really good. And there's pressure

331
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: on this game because pressure on the forty nine ers,

332
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: there's a ton of pressure on the Jets. But like,

333
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: can you imagine the if you just compared the reps

334
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: between Garrett Wilson and Aaron Rodgers in Brock Purdy and

335
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, it's not even close. Why Because Brock Perdy

336
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: and Brandon Ayuk have practiced and played in games for

337
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: the last year and a half. Those two guys have

338
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: never played in a real game together beside four plays.

339
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: So it's why the Jets and I get everyone because

340
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: it was fun and I did it last year. I

341
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: picked them to win the division. There are way too

342
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: many unknowns for me to just feel comfortable about that squad, right.

343
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: I just think the coaching situation, just the age and

344
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: the health of the situation. I'm not saying they can't

345
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: win on Monday Night, but just the long term view

346
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: of the team, it is a week by week operation

347
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: given the kind of health status to some of their guys.

348
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: The other thing that and I've talked about this for

349
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: a long time is when you're a scout coming up

350
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: or an assistant coach, there is no handbook.

351
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: It's like this in most jobs.

352
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: Were you ready to be the head coach? Were you

353
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: ready for this position? Hell, it could be were you

354
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: ready to become a coordinator the first time?

355
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: Were you ready to.

356
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: Become the director of college scouting? Is anyone truly ready? Like,

357
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: obviously you have experience doing something specifically, and hopefully you

358
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: can grow into the role. And depending on the job

359
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: the industry, you might have to produce immediately or you

360
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: might get a little bit of a runway. But as

361
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: an assistant coach or as an assistant GM or college director,

362
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with the major problems when

363
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: someone that gets drafted in the second round gets a

364
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: DUI if you're the college director, like, people aren't talking

365
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: about you on podcasts, on the radio, on local TV.

366
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: In the athletic they're talking about the GM. When the

367
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: second rounder from the Browns got arrested during training camp, even.

368
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: If his biggest supporter.

369
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: Was the defensive coordinator or the second in command of

370
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: the scouting department, it's on Stefanski and it's on Andrew Berry.

371
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: No different when someone gets in an accident or something happens,

372
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: it's on that guy. When you're an assistant coach or

373
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: an assistant, you don't have to deal with that. So

374
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: when Ricky Pearsall gets shot and thank god he's alive,

375
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: as his mother said, by the grace of God. Because

376
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: when you just say the words he got shot in

377
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: the chest in an attempted robbery. If you didn't know

378
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: anything else, that he probably died first. Do you think

379
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: probably got hit in the heart.

380
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: He's dead. You didn't even know who.

381
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: The person was, whether it's a famous person or not

382
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: famous person. But usually when someone gets shot in the chest,

383
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: you die. And there was a video that went viral

384
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: of the police officer that showed up and she was

385
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of almost in tears that when she got there

386
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: and she started holding the wound, he kind of started

387
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: freaking out just in terms of breathing hard and just

388
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: kind of getting worked up looking at all the blood

389
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: and looked her in the eye and said, am I

390
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: going to die? And she got pretty emotional recounting this

391
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: like it was a really powerful thing that happened. One

392
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: just the incident is fucking insanity. San Francisco and Union Square,

393
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: which used to be one of I have spent so

394
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: much time in San Francisco as a kid. I lived

395
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: in the city for two years. I lived in the

396
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Bay Area for ten, a couple of years in Emeryville,

397
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: which is right across the Bay Bridge. Another I would

398
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: say six in Walnut Creek, which is about twenty five

399
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: miles away and depending on traffic, anywhere from twenty five

400
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: to forty five minutes. How many days it's just a

401
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: single guy hanging out partying. It was such a vibrant

402
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: place when I moved back from Philly. What it has

403
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: become and Union Square specifically used to be, I would

404
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: say the most popular, definitely the most famous shopping area

405
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: in northern California. It has become robbery central. Now a

406
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: lot of these robberies don't involve a gun because California

407
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: and San Francisco is specifically like murder rates. I mean,

408
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: we're not talking about like some of these areas in Chicago,

409
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: but it's no place has more robbery right now. I

410
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: read an article that you are you are fifty percent

411
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: more likely to have a crime committed robbery some sort

412
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: of violent, you know, interaction in San Francisco than Compton, California,

413
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco. What has happened to it? Honestly makes me sick.

414
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: It's an embarrassment. And for Ricky Pearsall to escape losing

415
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: his life over fucking getting robbed by a Rolex one,

416
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: it's not I mean, it's shocking when he gets shot,

417
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: but like that someone tries to rob him is not

418
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: shocking at all.

419
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: And that's the sad.

420
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: Part because no one gets in trouble. There aren't any

421
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: rules anymore in San Francisco. I mean, one of the

422
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: reason I'm sitting here a couple of years later is

423
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: because it's just northern California in general. It's kind of

424
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: became like a lawless place. Like spending all this money,

425
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting taxed up the wazoo. How does this make sense?

426
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: And for me it no longer did, and that there

427
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: were other variables. Obviously she played a huge role in it,

428
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: but that was something that really bothered me. And I

429
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: remember going at the dinner in San Francisco, taking a

430
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: scouting buddy who was in for a trip to go

431
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: to a Niner game, and we were walking to this

432
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: cool restaurant on the water and where you walk on

433
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: Market Street, which isn't very far away from where it

434
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: happened to Ricky Piersoll. I mean it kind of turns

435
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: into zombie land. I mean, you got people taking enormous

436
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: poops on the sideline or on the side of the street.

437
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy. Like you read this, you hear this.

438
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: The media loves pushing back it's not true. It is true,

439
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: like as someone who spent a lot of time there,

440
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: and it gets worse, and that's what's crazy. And for

441
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: the Niners, my first reaction if I was Kyle, and

442
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: it's hard because like these are pros, Like I don't

443
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: know if we should be going to San Francisco. And

444
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: definitely no autographs, none of.

445
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: That stuff there. It's just not worth the risk.

446
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: And I would imagine after this that will not take

447
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: place in the near future. But you know, John Lynch

448
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: is in the hospital on Saturday night to make sure

449
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: it's first round pick lives. So the forty nine ers,

450
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: what a crazy roller coaster of the last you know,

451
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: five six days. Something that really jumped out to me

452
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: with college football is that most of my life, the

453
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: top programs didn't need to have the best quarterback, like

454
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: you could compete to win national championships. You could win

455
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: eleven twelve games every single year and have a guy

456
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: that was never going to play in the NFL, that

457
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: never had a shot to play in the NFL, and

458
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: when fans watched them, you'd be like, yeah, this's not

459
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: an NFL player, but it didn't matter because you could

460
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: load up your roster and that guy just basically was Truly,

461
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: this comment gets thrown out a lot in the NFL.

462
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: It is a lot harder to be a quote unquote

463
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: game manager in the NFL because you do have to

464
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: make a lot of places. You play in close games,

465
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: even if you're a good team.

466
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: A lot in.

467
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: College football, for a large portion of my life, the

468
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: top teams they played in two or three tight games,

469
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: they would destroy destroy seventy five percent of their opponents,

470
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 1: I mean, fucking railroad them. Well, with the transfer portal,

471
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: most teams aren't gonna have a second string red shirt

472
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: sophomore that goes I'm an NFL player sit there for

473
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: three or four years at linebacker, at safety, at wide receivers.

474
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: So you're not going three deep. Like let's even go

475
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: to the Urban Meyer, Nick saban Era. You know, back

476
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: in the lay two thousands and early twenty tens of

477
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: just NFL players cause those guys leave. But to me,

478
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: the thing that has completely changed. And I'm gonna use Nebraska.

479
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: As an example.

480
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: You could have a really good team and an average

481
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and still be really compared. Those days are over.

482
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: It has a lot of parallels now to the NFL.

483
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: If you have bad quarterback play, you're gonna lose. We're

484
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: back in the day like Georgia might have a team

485
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: or Bama has a team, like is this quarterback even good?

486
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: And then they go eleven and two?

487
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: Right, those days are done. If you don't have a

488
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: good quarterback, you're going to lose. Florida State if we

489
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: took Florida State in Boston College.

490
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: It's cool to see Bill O'Brien.

491
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: Anytime you're kind of chubby and bald and you get

492
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: put in a humid, hot situation, you are going to sweat,

493
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: and he was sweating profusely. I'm a sweater. If you

494
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: would put me in that situation, I would have been soaked.

495
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: He's absolutely soaked.

496
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: As they are just working Florida State, and I might

497
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: have jinxed them because I had my guy Derek Ray

498
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: on the general manager of Florida State this offseason. They

499
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: had just gone thirteen and one, had one of the

500
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: best seasons in a long time a Florida State, and

501
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: now they're zero to two and looking like a disaster.

502
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: But their problem isn't the roster. I watched Lewis Ridick

503
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: with Scott Van Pelt last night. He was like, when

504
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: you walk out to practice or you walk out to warmups,

505
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: their defensive line looks every bit as good physically as

506
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: any NFL team.

507
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: They're huge.

508
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: If you said, Bill O'Brien, you can draft twenty five players,

509
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: not quarterbacks, but just every other position but quarterback your roster,

510
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Florida States roster. Do you think Boston College has one

511
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: guy bill O'Brien picks. Probably not, But dj Ungoulea is

512
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: so terrible.

513
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: At quarterback, you have no shot.

514
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Last year Nebraska went five and seven, and their quarterback

515
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: play could not have been worse. I look today, five

516
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: and seven, they lost three games ten to thirteen, three

517
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: games ten to thirteen, they lost an another game seventeen

518
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: to twenty, and they lost the game to Wisconsin seventeen

519
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: to twenty four. If you put the quarterback they have

520
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: right now and He's still a lot to learn about

521
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: Dominic Ryola, but it's pretty clear he's in a different

522
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: universe than what they had last year. I don't know

523
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: if they win all five of those games, because he's

524
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: a freshman.

525
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: He might have.

526
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: Are they a nine and three team? They ain't five

527
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: and seven? And you watch Boston College with Bill O'Brien,

528
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: he has a quarterback that looks like the poor man's

529
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: version of Kyler Murray running around making plays if you

530
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: flip flop the two quarterbacks, like that's the game and

531
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: the sport was never really about that because for so

532
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: long the top ten programs were so much better than

533
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: everyone else. Like, truly, does anyone believe Clemson's roster sucks?

534
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm not rivals dot com here, but I follow recruiting

535
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: closely enough. After signing days, they are typically in the

536
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: top five or top ten of recruiting classes, so they

537
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: are recruiting the best high school players and for the

538
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: history of time that always mattered. Their quarterback play is atrocious.

539
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: DJ was bad this club. Nick guy is not good either,

540
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: and you just lose What did Saban realize after that

541
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: first iteration of his era, Like I can't win with

542
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: the Cocher and Sims. So what do he started doing?

543
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: He started getting NFL quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, tuatanka Iloa, Mac Jones,

544
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: Bryce Young.

545
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: What happened?

546
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: They kept kicking ass. They weren't as good on defense

547
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: as they once were, but they were dominant on offense.

548
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: LSU twenty nineteen.

549
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: What happened? Joe Burrow showed up.

550
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: That's this, that's modern day football. We aren't going to

551
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: see these teams like when I was a kid, or

552
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: even into high school and college. The some of the

553
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, late nineties Miami defense is Florida State defenses,

554
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State defenses. You can have a good defense, but

555
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: you're never gonna be as deep because guys aren't gonna stay.

556
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: So if you get the quarterback wrong, like in the NFL,

557
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: you're fucked. I mean, it's really that simple. And college

558
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: football has mirrored the NFL. Now it's such a quarterback

559
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: dependent sport because of the rules, because of how difficult it.

560
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: Is to play defense.

561
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: I stand by saying this, nothing angers me more in

562
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: college football. No one in twenty.

563
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: Twenty four is trying to hurt anybody. Nobody.

564
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: They have been coached now for years if you're in

565
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: college football, when they start changing around the hitting rules,

566
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: you were like in pee wee football, JV football. They've

567
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: been coaching you for a long time. Not laid with

568
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: your head, No, you know, cracking guys across the middle.

569
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: No one's trying.

570
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: To break people's arms and clasicals anymore.

571
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: That used to happen a lot.

572
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: Those days are over. And when a guy goes in

573
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: full speed and his helmet hits the other team's helmet,

574
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: if you want to throw a flag, the targeting rule whatever.

575
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: To me, it's football, But I get it.

576
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: The world's changed.

577
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: To throw the kid out of a game is beyond

578
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: egregious to me. No one is trying to injure anybody.

579
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: That is the most penal penalty. The majority of people

580
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: in college football, whether you're at Alabama or whether you're

581
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: at Fresno State or Boise State, are not gonna play

582
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They're never gonna be on the Packers,

583
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the Niners, the Eagle They're not. Their career

584
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: is going to end after college, end after college. To

585
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: take away this guy from a football game, to me

586
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: is just it's more or like a non American. I

587
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: mean It really bothers me and I try to contain,

588
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: but it happened a couple times this weekend, and I went,

589
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: can somebody change this rule? Can we remove that part

590
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: of it? Maybe it was necessary early on, it's not necessary.

591
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: It happened in the.

592
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Usc LSU game. He wasn't trying to do that.

593
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: No one is. I get it.

594
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: It happens their kids to throw a player out of

595
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: that game. This isn't baseball.

596
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: You don't play every day.

597
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: You get twelve of these a year, and six or

598
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: seven of them really matter, and that was one of them.

599
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: And when that happens, it.

600
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: Really pisses me off.

601
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: A couple other NFL stories, it's great forever. You know,

602
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: if a guy left TV and they got fired and coaching,

603
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: he would just disappear.

604
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: You wouldn't see him.

605
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: And now like a guy like John Gruden, you know,

606
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: he's kind of toxic because of the way it ended there,

607
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: and he's suing the NFL and ESPN can't get get

608
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: back into bed with them because they're trying to be

609
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: in good grace with the NFL and they want the

610
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and I get it. You just would never

611
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: hear from John gut again. The only time you ever

612
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: hear from is when you see him in pictures, like,

613
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: oh Andy Reid invited him to practice, right, Kaylin Dubor

614
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: had him speak to the team like I don't even

615
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: know if that happened, but you know what I mean.

616
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: We started a YouTube channel.

617
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: It's just him just talking ball and just kind of

618
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: doing his Monday night TV shtick. So one thing cool

619
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: about YouTube is it's an incredible platform.

620
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: If you just want to start, you just start loading videos.

621
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy, and.

622
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: He's doing it now.

623
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: I watched a little bit of his Eagles Packers one

624
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: felt like he was playing up. I think the one

625
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: thing YouTube will expose, like being on Monday Football, you

626
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: could kind of play this caricature, which I think is

627
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: part of them.

628
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: It felt like John to.

629
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: Speer yourself like this isn't all you.

630
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: Some of it, but not all of this is you you.

631
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: Just authenticity really shines through in the modern day landscape.

632
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: It's what I consume definitely as someone that watches a

633
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of these videos of just a bunch of different people.

634
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: And my advice to you, as someone that is a

635
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: consumes hours of YouTube a day, just try to be

636
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: a little more like you would be talking with your

637
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: brother or talking with Andy. It's the Monday night sticky thing.

638
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: You can add elements of that, but it's not needed.

639
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: People are coming from you. You're really famous. You obviously

640
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: been around football a long time.

641
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: You know what you're talking about. Just act normal.

642
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Robert Salas said the day because the Niners and the Jets,

643
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: because of the long weekend, had to practice a day.

644
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: Then they're off tomorrow. On the back Thursday.

645
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: Asked about a son Reddick if he was in the

646
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: building and if he was practicing.

647
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: And he said zero.

648
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: Status change, so his holdout continues. I don't quite understand

649
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: the long term play here. I just we kind of

650
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: jumped the shark early on. I get it, but like,

651
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: what are we doing now? You're gonna hold out for

652
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: the season. You're gonna hold out. The Jets aren't gonna

653
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: pay you. Are you hoping that eventually they just crack

654
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: because they traded a third round pick for you? It

655
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're gonna do that. Don't you almost

656
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: make a million dollars a game. My recommendation would be

657
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: play like that's that's a lot of money. Cam Hayward

658
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: signed for a lot of money, a little like the

659
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: Trent Williams thing, you know, divided by two, Stalwart for

660
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the organization, team, Captain, man of the year, good player

661
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: in a perfect world, he retires a Steeler and they

662
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: take care of him. And last, but not least this

663
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, this has been reported on for a while.

664
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: The day ball going back to OTA's and in training

665
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: camp was the play caller he had taken away from

666
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: my Kafka. He confirm that today. I guess if you

667
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to look at it from a point that

668
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: if the offense sucks this year, it was easy to

669
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: just it was Cafka's fault, Daniel Jones' fault. Well, now

670
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: you are playing a role in that. When you're the

671
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: CEO guy, it's like, you know, I'm just I'm giving

672
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: big picture of philosophical beliefs. Well, now on third and seven,

673
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: if you run a route it looks terrible. You're part

674
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: of the criticism with Daniel Jones. So maybe the Marras

675
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: said we want you.

676
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: To call plays.

677
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance that that happened, because if

678
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: I was John Mara, I'd be like, we did hire

679
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: you from the Buffalo Bills because of how awesome you were.

680
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 2: With Josh Allen.

681
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: Shouldn't you maybe call the plays, especially when we look

682
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: around the league and McVeigh, Lafleur, Kyle, Kevin O'Connell. All

683
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: these guys are calling the plays that are offensive guys,

684
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: and I do wonder they'll never admit it if there

685
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: was some internal pressure there with the powers that be

686
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: that said, Brian, we want you with the offensive play

687
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: sheet for seventeen weeks. Okay, Middlecoff mailbag time, easiest way

688
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: to get in the mailbag at John Middlecoff at John

689
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: Middlecoff on Instagram, Fire in those dms and do it

690
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: right now, mailbag. William Belichick, Good morning, sir. My question

691
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: is this is there a chance that owners are going

692
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: to keep Bill out of being a head coach because

693
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: of his past relationships and attitude toward everyone. Could they

694
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: be set in an example and making sure he doesn't

695
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: become the all time wins leader. You know what's funny

696
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: is Colin asked me about.

697
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 2: The Tom Brady situation.

698
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard, there have been a lot of

699
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: stories reported that he's not allowed to go in the

700
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: other facilit he's not allowed to be critical of the officials,

701
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you like can't be critical and say

702
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: certain things about teams and players. So it's a weird

703
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: story that doesn't seem necessary. But think about this, Belichick

704
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: and Brady. Think how much money he costs teams over

705
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, both those guys beating them in

706
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: big playoff games. Think if they only had won three

707
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: super Bowls instead of six, Well, those three might have

708
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: gone to three other teams. Maybe the Ravens have another,

709
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: maybe the Colts have another, maybe the Steelers get one.

710
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: You know, over that time when Belichick owned them, like

711
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine, a lot of owners don't like those guys,

712
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily personally have a huge problem with them, but like,

713
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: this is a competitive business, so to be the Tom

714
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: Brady thing is not shocking. The Belichick thing though. If

715
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: you were consistently winning like the Packers, the Steelers, like

716
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: the Niners for the last fifteen years, but you can't

717
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, but you're in the playoffs all

718
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: the time, you're making a ton best case scenario. You

719
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: win super Bowls, the Chiefs, the Patriots, you.

720
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 2: Win a bunch.

721
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: That's obviously what everyone wants to do, But there is

722
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: a big difference between being under five hundred all the

723
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: time and winning and making the playoffs where you can

724
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: charge people just the amount of money you make off

725
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: advertising in terms of the placement in your stadium. It's

726
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: a big deal, and Belichick costs a lot of those teams,

727
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: probably playoff victories, extra home games, the chance to cash

728
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: in even more like Robert Kraft did. So I do

729
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: wonder if owners have it out for those two guys.

730
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: But if you have the opportunity to hire Bill Belichick

731
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: and he can help you do that win if you

732
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: think he can, I don't.

733
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: Think owners will care.

734
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's like collusion on the fact

735
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: that I think the bigger deal is his age, his

736
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff, the power he wants or doesn't want, like

737
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: I think those are the fair questions more than trying

738
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: to screw them, because I don't. The only person who

739
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: cares the most about you is you. The only person

740
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: who cares the most about Let's pick these teams, the Giants,

741
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the whoever their owner like it's they're the

742
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: ones cashing in on it if it works. So I

743
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: would be shocked if he does an interview for basically

744
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: every team that's opened this offseason. We're a long way

745
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: to go there. You know, we haven't had anyone fired yet.

746
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: Why doesn't the NFL and their experts just admit they

747
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to evaluate quarterbacks? Then try, or they try,

748
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: but they are no better than the bozos like me

749
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: in guessing. This stuff so much more to it than

750
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: stats and measurements.

751
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 2: Totally agree.

752
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: I think the hard art about evaluating guys is you

753
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: can never measure the intangible stuff, and in football, more

754
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: than the other sports, it matters the most because you

755
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: practice five times more than you play, because the weightlifting

756
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: that comes along with playing the sport is so intense,

757
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: because the physicality of the sport is so much different

758
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: than baseball or basketball, and you can't measure how bad

759
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: that guy wants it. Like TJ. Watt, let's use him

760
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: as an example. I know you're talking quarterbacks, but I

761
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: think it works.

762
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: For a lot of positions.

763
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: You watch that guy play, you're like, this guy's intensity,

764
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: he's like his brother. How the hell did this guy

765
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: last to the late twenties, you see guys like Richard

766
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: Truman or George Kittle or just the countless guys in

767
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: the fifth sixth seventh round. That make it like, why

768
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: is Brock Purty a really good quarterback? Yeah, he benefits

769
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: from playing with good players. Patrick Mahomes got to play

770
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: with Tyreek Killen Travis Kelsey when he started. Because, as

771
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold said, I've never seen a guy prepare like

772
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: that in my career. That's what Sam Darnold said, Who.

773
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: Is the backup for Brock Perdy?

774
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: And it had already been in the league for five years,

775
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: So I just you can't measure that stuff. He's like, Ay,

776
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of short, Arm's not great.

777
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: And it is.

778
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: It's such an intense sport in terms of preparation, in

779
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: terms of film study, in terms of cognitively how fast

780
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: you could see something. Listen, I love justin Fields coming out.

781
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: I would have taken him number two overall.

782
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: If I was the Jets, I would.

783
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: Have been wrong because I saw someone Florio wrote the

784
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: other day. He's like Mike Zimmer takes a shot at

785
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: Rick Spielman because one of the things Zimmer said is

786
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: they fought the last couple of years they were together,

787
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: and one of the reasons they fought was over drafting quarterbacks.

788
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: He wanted him to draft other positions, and Spielman, I

789
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: guess wanted to draft Justin Fields and wanted to trade up.

790
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 2: And one of the.

791
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: Things Zimmer said is well he hasn't done anything in

792
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: the league. And Florio like took exception with that. It's like, well, yeah,

793
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: he's played in the league, just not very well. And

794
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: if you did a redraft on that draft, trading up

795
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields would have been an abomination for the

796
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings because none of those quarterbacks beside Trevor Lawrence

797
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: Sniff the first round, Trey Lance might go undrafted. Think

798
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: about that, he went third, he might go undrafted. He's

799
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: a third string quarterback in year four. You don't draft

800
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: third string quarterbacks in year four. Mac Jones probably goes

801
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: in like the fourth or fifth. Same with Fields and

802
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. Probably he'd still go in the seventh, probably because.

803
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: Of his physical abilities.

804
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, I mean that was it was

805
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: a disaster.

806
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how I got off on that tangent.

807
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: But oh, because like you watch Fields, I was like, well,

808
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: coach him up, figure out how to do it. Some guys,

809
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: you can coach him as hard as you want. If

810
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: they can't feel comfortable reading a defense and staying calm

811
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: instead of taken off in the pocket.

812
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 2: The offense isn't.

813
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: Gonna work over the course of time. People saying how

814
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: Bill only has six rings is a blatant twisting of

815
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: the truth. Bill is eight six with the Pats and

816
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: two with the Giants. I know he was only a coordinator,

817
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: but his game plan against the Bills, the number one offense,

818
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: was a huge part of.

819
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 2: The game, and yet no one talks about them.

820
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: What is twenty twenty four and that was nineteen ninety.

821
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: But I heard what you're saying. If you can't tell

822
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: him a Pats fan who's very cynical about the future

823
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: with girod Meyo as a coach. My dad is a

824
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: Niners fan and a diehard Rams hater. He thinks the

825
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: Rams bought their Super Bowl in twenty one, and Sean

826
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: McVay is the biggest cheater in the league with him

827
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: not kicking the field goal in the game not to

828
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: hit the spread.

829
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: That wasn't even a question, uh medical adrenale time.

830
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: My question is I acquired Saquon in fantasy football one

831
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: k Oh, I know you don't play. He fell to

832
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: me and I never got him in a mock draft,

833
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: so when I saw his name.

834
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 2: I immediately had to scoop him.

835
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: What do you think this year projects of Saquon? Mainly,

836
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: how do you think the red zone will work? You

837
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: pay a back good money. I would expect him to

838
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: take some of the workload in the red zone. Just

839
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: wondering what your opinion will be looking forward to this year.

840
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: Uh. I think he's gonna have a massive year.

841
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: They have a really good offensive line.

842
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: They should run the ball if they're up in some

843
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: of it.

844
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: If you think they're gonna be a ten or eleven

845
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: win team, well they're gonna have the lead in the

846
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: second half.

847
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: So what do you do? You run the ball.

848
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: He can catch the ball, so it's easy to run

849
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: screenplays for him, wheel routes, screen routes. He's a great

850
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: checkdown wide receiver, which.

851
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: Jalen has no problem doing.

852
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: The red zone stuff. You know, is a tush push

853
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: still a thing? Are they still going to be as

854
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: dominant with the.

855
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: Tush push without Jason Kelsey? No one knows.

856
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: We'll see if it's not as effective you give it

857
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: to him. I would be stunned if Saquan doesn't have

858
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: I'd put his over under a touchdowns ten and a half,

859
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: I would say that ten to twelve range, and from

860
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: a yardist standpoint, I think he should be a twelve

861
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yard rusher. Question for the bag, do you

862
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 1: think the Bengals cheap owner will prevent them from winning

863
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? With Burrow in his prime? How do

864
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: they overcome the scrooge and Mike Brown. Well, we'll have

865
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: to see how this Chase situation plays out, because that

866
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: was it was like he was holding in and then

867
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: it felt like things were progressing, like he was gonna practice.

868
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: Then Zach Taylor said he was gonna play week one,

869
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: and then it felt like he disappeared. So is news

870
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna break by the time you're listening to this. They've

871
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: extended Jamar Chase. He spent a lot of money over

872
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 1: the years on players, especially the last three or four

873
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: of the Joe Burrow era. So he gave Joe Burrow

874
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: two hundred twelve million dollars. It's hard to call him

875
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: cheap currently. I'm gonna withhold judgment. Obviously in the past

876
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: there have been major question marks Carson Palmer days. No

877
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: issue there calling him that, But I would say the

878
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: last couple of years, like they've been pretty invested. I'm

879
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan. Any hope this year?

880
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got you guys making the playoffs.

881
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: And hypothetical question, if Patrick Mahomes requested a trade, who

882
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: do you think would have the best offer and what

883
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: would a deal look like. Would it be like five

884
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: first round picks and like your best defensive player or

885
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: maybe like a good young offensive lineman or could we

886
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: see teams offer quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Well,

887
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: the Ravens would offer Lamar Jackson and Bret Veach would

888
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: hang up the phone. You know, I'm a sucker for

889
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: these questions, even though it's they're so stupid because I

890
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: guess players that you didn't think were going to request

891
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: the trade to request the trade, so you never know.

892
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: But I would say Patrick Mahomes, the one thing the

893
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs have going for him, even if Andy were to

894
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: retire in the next couple of years, is that whole

895
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: time they've been with Bret Veach, and if Andy were

896
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: to retire, Veach wouldn't retire, so Veach's relationship with Patrick,

897
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: knowing that he was the reason that he pounded the

898
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: table for John Dorsey to draft him.

899
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: You know, the way they talk about him.

900
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty lucky that way, that their relationship

901
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: is so strong. But if he did request to trade,

902
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think every team in the league's picking

903
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: up the phone. I don't think you can trade more

904
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: than three first round picks. Could be wrong on that,

905
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure there's a league rule that you

906
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: can only trade three years out. Again, don't fact check

907
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: me on that. I'd probably need like Jake Rosenberg on

908
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: the horn to give me the thumbs up or thumbs

909
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 1: down on that one. But I've heard that before because

910
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever seen a deal bigger than

911
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: three years out. But I think that's part of the

912
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: reason why.

913
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, take it all.

914
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: Is there, Patrick Mahomes. This is how you know how

915
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: good of a player he is. He's so good that

916
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: there is no offer that you could give to the

917
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs that they wouldn't hang up like they're not even

918
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: having a meeting, not even having a meeting where I

919
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: could call. There is not another quarterback in the league

920
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: that I couldn't call and not get a meeting from

921
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: the other GM And the coach with the Bears called

922
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: the Bills. We'll give you Caleb Williams and three first

923
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: round picks for Josh Allen. Now I wouldn't do that

924
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: because in the best case scenario of Caleb Williams, he

925
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: becomes Josh Allen. But like you might have a meeting, like, hey,

926
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: we get this rookie contract, we get the three first

927
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: round picks, every other quarterback, you get a meeting. It

928
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you would do it. There might not

929
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: be enough to trade for Josh Allen or Joe Burrow.

930
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is a little different because he's injured, but

931
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There is zero offer that

932
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: you could get Brett Veach and Andy Reid to even

933
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: take a meeting, to even get Veachs to be like, hey, Andy,

934
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: I think we need to talk about this. Instead, it's like, Coach,

935
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: do you believe what these fucking idiots called me about.

936
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: Let's go grab a hot dog.

937
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: Packers fan from Australia question for the bag. With the

938
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: season about to start, I was surprised Green Bay are underdogs.

939
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 2: Against the Eagles.

940
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles have had a lot of woes this offseason,

941
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: while the Packers have addressed the secondary with McKinney and

942
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: the new DC as well. I'm pro Halflee, like I

943
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: think it's gonna work. But just because you hire a

944
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who, in a perfect world is better than

945
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: your last defensive coordinator does not mean just because you

946
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: made a change to DC, it's the it's gonna work.

947
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: And this guy's never been a defensive coordinator in the NFL,

948
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 1: So to just plug Halflee in as a positive addition

949
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: to me, he's an unknown like the Eagles, and you

950
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: hire defensive coordinators. One hired Vic Fangio, who I think

951
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: it's safe to say has been one of the better

952
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: defense coordinators of his generation, and the other hired a

953
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: guy who's never been a defensive coordinator. Now, the Packers

954
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: could be better than the Eagles on defense. Time will tell,

955
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: but today we can't say, you know, before they kick

956
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: off on Friday. The Packers edition of halfleet is a positive. Now,

957
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: you can say it's a positive simply from the fact

958
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: that they got rid of the old defensive coordinator Joe Barry, Right,

959
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: that's who's the last defensive coordinator. But they've gone through

960
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive coordinators over my late twenties and

961
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 1: thirties and you guys have been consistently bad on defense.

962
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: So to me, someone's got to be favored in the game.

963
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 2: Like the Chiefs. One's easy.

964
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs at home, Ravens, we just kicked your ass in

965
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's an easy three, four or five point spread. Right,

966
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 1: You're not going to be a touchdown over a team

967
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson, but you're not gonna be a field goal.

968
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: So I think the last time I looked a couple

969
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: of days ago is four and a half. I haven't

970
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,879
Speaker 1: even looked at the Eagles line yet. But someone's got

971
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: to be favorite in the game. But and also it's

972
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: based on who's Betton who I would make it a

973
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: pick him because who knows. Honestly, I think either team

974
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: could win thirteen games best case, and I think both

975
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: teams worst case could win like nine. So the other thing,

976
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: the game's in Brazil. I don't know how far the

977
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: flight it is for Green Bay, but it's I think

978
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: it's like an eight hour flight from Philly, So I

979
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: think the Packers ceiling is really high. But I do

980
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: think there are question marks with the defense, a lot

981
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: of unknowns. In theory, it should be better, but you

982
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: got to do it with the guy who's never been

983
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: a coordinator in the NFL, and listen, I don't judge you.

984
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: There's a huge difference between being a head coach and

985
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: a coordinator. But like Bill o'bryan's a real head coach.

986
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: He goes to Boston College, first game they look like

987
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: a real team was Jeff Haffley and he goes ahead coach.

988
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: Now again, his job with the Packers is not to.

989
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 2: Be the head coach. It's called the defense. Know what

990
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean.

991
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: When you moved to Arizona, did you sell your condo

992
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: or keep it as a rental? I'm in real estate investing,

993
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: so just curious. Thought that was the irs right there.

994
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: Second question, last year was such a weird year for

995
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles because they were winning games, but something looked off.

996
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll bounce back to twenty twenty two

997
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: from where they dominated and made it to the Super Bowl.

998
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: When I left, I left my shit there originally, and

999
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna airb and be it, and then I

1000
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: quickly found out it was a little more complicated than

1001
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: I thought in terms of the ability to get like

1002
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: longer term tenants, Like I didn't want a guy year round.

1003
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: But it was a fully furnished place, and the plan

1004
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: was to have like traveling nurses or whoever, someone that

1005
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: works for Chevron that's coming in for two months, rented

1006
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: out and charge a lot, and my payment was pretty low,

1007
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: and it was just gonna be a lot more difficult

1008
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: than I had thought about in my mind. And then

1009
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 1: I bought this place and sold it immediately, And yeah,

1010
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: so I sold it to do the remodel here and

1011
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: I didn't.

1012
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 2: Want to keep it, and I wasn't gonna airbnb.

1013
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: It, So yeah, might have set the record into place

1014
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: to the last couple of condos that sold didn't sellicize

1015
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: me got out on top.

1016
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,720
Speaker 2: It's just a headache, you know. It was hard.

1017
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: If it was going to be a cash cow, I

1018
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: would have had no problem keeping it. Maybe my idea.

1019
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure I could have rented it out empty, but.

1020
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: I just I just offloaded it.

1021
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles to get back to twenty twenty two,

1022
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: Jalen's got to be really good. So if Kellen does

1023
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: a good job with Jalen and he's an MVP candidate,

1024
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: if I tell you right now, Jalen hurts his an

1025
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: MVP candidate, you'd be like, the Eagles are really good

1026
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: even if the defense is up and down. Shit, the

1027
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: Packers been winning for fifteen years with average defenses like this,

1028
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't need to have the eighty five bears on defense.

1029
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 2: Now.

1030
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: They've invested a lot on the defensive side of the ball,

1031
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: drafting corners, investing in corners. The defensive line they pay

1032
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of money to. So the defensive line just

1033
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: based on talent alone should be solid. But it's on

1034
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: the offense. They have high paid left tackle, they have

1035
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: a high paid right tackle, they got a high paid guard,

1036
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: they have a high paid obviously quarterback, running back, tight end,

1037
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: multiple receivers, and then they just traded for a former

1038
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: first round receiver who's actually, you know, definitely a pretty

1039
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: good third receiver.

1040
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: So to me, it comes to the offense.

1041
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: That's the thing with the Eagles Packers camp, no one

1042
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: really has any question marks, like we just assume the

1043
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: Packers are gonna be good on offense. With the Eagles

1044
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: is like, what's this going to look like?

1045
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 2: Kellen needs to run the ball?

1046
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: One thing they got away from last year they get

1047
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: so pass happy. No part of that is the analytics

1048
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: and the building. They love passing, runs the ball.

1049
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 2: Just take a deep breath. One thing Kyle Shanahan has

1050
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 2: taught me. You can drive me nuts. Sometimes run the ball.

1051
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 2: It will wear the other team out.

1052
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: Stick with it when you have the talent, and they

1053
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: got the talent. Fucking lean on them that If I

1054
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: was an Eagles fan, That's what I be. I want

1055
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: to lean on these dudes. I don't try to beat

1056
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: everybody forty to twenty. I have a mailbag question for you.

1057
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: I don't think that Jaden will have much success this year.

1058
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: The Commedis have one of the worst ranked offensive lines

1059
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: in football according to Pro Football Focus. Jayden had a

1060
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: very bad pressure to sack ratio in college. The Commanders

1061
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: are in the division with three good defensive lines, and

1062
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 1: they also play the AFC North. I think all these

1063
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 1: factors will lead to a very difficult season. A lot

1064
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: of people are high in Washington this year, but I

1065
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: don't see how a rookie that gets sacked a lot

1066
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: can succeed in these circumstances. Do you think they're a

1067
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: real concerns to have about the team. I've been going

1068
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: back and forth. Should I do like my top ten teams,

1069
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: I might end up doing like a power five and

1070
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: bottom five. But I was thinking about my bottom five,

1071
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: my cellar dwellers, my just teams are gonna compete for

1072
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. They're one of them. I

1073
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be any good. I really don't,

1074
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: you know. It really crystallized watching Jayden Daniels or LSU

1075
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: the other night he played. Those two tackles.

1076
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: Would start for the Commanders.

1077
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: His two tackles in college that are still there would

1078
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: start Moleague Neighbors win seventh.

1079
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 2: Overall or sixth overall.

1080
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: Brian, the number two wide receiver on the team, win

1081
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: in the top twenty five because his tight end at

1082
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: LSU looks like a stud. That team that was an

1083
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: all star team on offense, And I'm not trying. He

1084
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: was really good, but just running around and freelance and

1085
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: making plays. Now he's accurate down the field. But I'm

1086
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: with you. You know, if your guards and centers can't

1087
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: block and you get pressure up the middle, you're scrambling

1088
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: around for your life. The talent he's playing with now

1089
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: relative to the league is so much worse than the

1090
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: talent he played with last year.

1091
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: Relative to who he was playing.

1092
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: So he's his one year succeeding and it was awesome.

1093
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: Was with the best of the best. Now if he

1094
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,439
Speaker 1: can prove he can do in the NFL, more power

1095
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: to him. I'm not acting like he's gonna be a scrub,

1096
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: but I'm out on Washing. I think Washington is not

1097
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna be good this year because you gotta win from

1098
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: within the pocket, and when you're getting hit all the time,

1099
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: it's hard their offensive line a lot of often remember

1100
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows rookie year, he was getting killed, his leg

1101
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: got stamped. You can't function and as a young player

1102
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: who's kind of learning on the ropes, new defensive coordinators,

1103
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: new players, just quicker game and you're just under dress

1104
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: like every other snap, even if you can run like Jayden,

1105
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: it just wear your ass down mail back outside of quarterback.

1106
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: When looking at the Steelers roster, what holes do you see?

1107
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: I saw Tomlin say today that coming into camp he

1108
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of questions with the wide receivers. He

1109
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,479
Speaker 1: feels better about that now I'm on the other side,

1110
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: like I gotta see it. Obviously, George Pickens is a

1111
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: big time talent, but do they have enough beside him

1112
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: to kind of help Russell Wilson out the offensive line.

1113
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: While they drafted three guys that everyone in the scouting

1114
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: community liked, one of them got hurt. I think the

1115
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: tackle got hurt in training camp, I.

1116
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 2: Would have met.

1117
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna play in Week one

1118
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: or he's back, maybe he's already been back. But the

1119
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: offensive line looked very, very shaky the mismatch group they had,

1120
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: which I think is a little bit of question mark

1121
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: why they invested so heavily in the drafts. They're going

1122
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: to be depending on very very young players. The drafted

1123
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: a guy last year in the first round. So is

1124
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: there offensive line good enough? Because Russell does not sit

1125
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He doesn't sit in the pocket if

1126
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Trent Williams, Larry Allen, and Anthony Munios are blocking for him.

1127
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Dude just likes to move around. So you get offensive

1128
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: line and that aren't great all of a sudden. It's

1129
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: just it's a hodgepodge of just craziness happened back there.

1130
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why I used hodgepodge right there, but

1131
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: I felt like I wanted to use that sometime. So

1132
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: I think their defensive line is really good. dB should

1133
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: be solid. The defense should be solid, should be really good.

1134
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: But offensively, the line, the quarterback, and the receiving options

1135
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: outside of Pickens I think are a major, major question

1136
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: mark till proven otherwise.

1137
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that.

1138
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Like you got a question mark, sometimes it gets answered, right.

1139
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: You got question marks when you start doing business with

1140
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: someone or start dating with someone. Then over time you're like,

1141
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: I feel pretty comfortable to duding this. She's cooler than

1142
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: I thought, doesn't bother.

1143
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 2: Me as much, or it's ain't gonna work.

1144
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,439
Speaker 1: That's like football. It's like, yeah, I think we're pretty

1145
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: good at the two guard spots, and then three weeks later,

1146
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: defensive tackles have nine combined sacks over that period of time, You're.

1147
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, we're screwed. Question for the bag. It's from Kyle.

1148
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I just saw a poll below and was shocked to

1149
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: see the NFL most overrated player was Josh Allen. Less

1150
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: surprised about perty. I agree with your stance on Allen

1151
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: being a generational talent, but just curious to hear your

1152
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on an NFL player on other players believing he's overrated.

1153
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1154
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't see how you could play Josh Allen and

1155
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: unless you're asking, like I guess maybe the Chiefs. But

1156
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: he's beating most teams he's playing, and he's doing it

1157
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: throwing these ropes, running around and his team. It's not

1158
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: like some balanced squad, especially last year.

1159
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1160
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just players that are jealous, maybe because he

1161
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: throws some interceptions. I don't know, you're right, like i'd

1162
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: get the party thing. Perty's just a polarizing guy. But

1163
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't see how you could play Josh Allen and

1164
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: think he's overrated, because the coaches.

1165
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Don't believe that.

1166
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: If you read Sando's Quarterback, you know, piece, if you

1167
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: got Andy Reid or Mike McDonald or Mike McDaniel or

1168
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh or whoever in the AFC on the horn

1169
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: Robert Sala, ask them what they thought of Josh Allen.

1170
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: I'll promise you this, they'd be singing his praises. Why

1171
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: don't team structure contracts for key position star players differently

1172
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: than most of their other contracts. I'll use Purty as

1173
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: an example, because he might end up being the highest

1174
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: paid quarterback next offseason. Wouldn't it be in in the Niners'

1175
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: best interest to set the terms of the contract based

1176
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: on a percentage value of the cap versus an arbitrary

1177
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 1: dollar amount that they will have to restructure in a

1178
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: couple of years. Let's say they agree on a five

1179
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: year deal at twenty percent of the cap each year.

1180
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: Then every year the salary cap goes up, Purdy's cap

1181
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: goes up proportionally. It seems like this would be a

1182
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: better way to start your contracts for star players at

1183
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: important positions, to keep them happy while providing predictability and

1184
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: stability for front offices. Why would you do that when

1185
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to because you're eventually going to extend

1186
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the guy again if you really like him. But I

1187
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: get I want a guy on a fixed cost. I

1188
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: don't want to get a guy on a variable cost, right,

1189
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Like why do we when we do the mortgage, it's

1190
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: great to be on a fixed mortgage for thirty years.

1191
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: You know exactly what you're paying, and the more money

1192
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: you make, the easier it is to make that payment.

1193
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: So you can project out thirty years or with a contract,

1194
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: if I signed the guy five years, by the second

1195
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: or third year, that number technically is coming.

1196
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: Down relative to the salary cap.

1197
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: So why would I want it. If I was the player,

1198
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: I would one hundred percent want what you just said,

1199
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: because I would always be making more money. I would

1200
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: get built in raises on a yearly basis.

1201
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 2: It'd be like a rolling race.

1202
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: I'd be guaranteed a race where when I pay these

1203
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: quarterback contracts, the hardest hit I get is early on

1204
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: in actual cast. I give you, like Jordan Love, He's

1205
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: getting seventy five million dollars in the first whatever three

1206
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: months of the season, and then it slows down a

1207
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: lot in terms of the cash I have to pay

1208
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: him if I'm the Green Bay Packers. But if every

1209
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: year he's getting nineteen percent of the salary cap, that's

1210
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: a lot of money. So I think part of it is,

1211
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: like most human beings, I'll deal with this later. And

1212
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the mindset that these teams take.

1213
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 2: I'll deal if he's gonna have a problem in.

1214
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: Four years, I'll deal with it later. The forty nine

1215
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: ers knew when they pay Trent Williams four years ago

1216
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: or whatever, it was gonna.

1217
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 2: Be a problem. We'll deal with it when.

1218
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. So

1219
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: your idea is something that I'm sure agents and players

1220
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: talk about all the time. It is something teams want

1221
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: to avoid, like the plague, because it saves them money.

1222
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think we're that's happening anytime soon. I

1223
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: guess it is the long way around of saying that

1224
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: the volume
