All right, we 12 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: get ready for my buddy former Pro Scout three and 13 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: out podcast, John Middle Costs. But at the Niners camp 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: for two weeks, I got questions about Trey Lance, but 15 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: first fake questions, real answers. I got stuff I want 16 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: to talk about, but don't want to wait for you 17 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: to ask me. Did you see the post from ab 18 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: You know Antonio Brown saying his biggest regret was that 19 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: he didn't get to watch himself play football? What did 20 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: you make of it? What I make of it is 21 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: that Mike Tomlin kept him basically inside the rails for 22 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: his first contract. I mean, the guys like not all there. 23 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: There's narcissism and then there's whatever a B is. I 24 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,279 Speaker 1: just have respect for Mike Tomlin. I've said this before. 25 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: Mike is a player's coach. Sometimes the Steelers feel too 26 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: emotionally driven. But when you read that quote, that post 27 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: from Antonio Brown, he's serious completely. Can't imagine having to 28 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: manage that diva. Dear Colin, which head coach quarterback duo 29 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: concerns you the most this year? Well, first of all, 30 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: we have a trend for about three years. Defensive coaches 31 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: sometimes struggle to get along with quarterbacks. Belichick, Brady at 32 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the end, Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, Mike Zimmerkirk Cousins, Brian Flores, Tua. 33 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: The one I look at is Ron Rivera and Carson Wentz. 34 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: Ron's a defensive coach. He tends to be conservative in nature, 35 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz is reckless. That is a really, really 36 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: bad combination. There's a trend in this league, and it's 37 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Coaches and quarterbacks, Defensive coaches and quarterbacks. As 38 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: this game in the NFL opens up and pivots to offense, 39 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: these relationships increasingly are Uneven Zimmer Cousins, Pete Carroll Russ, 40 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: Robert Sala, Zach Wilson Jets keep your eye on it 41 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: defensive coach and a quarterback who sometimes goes off script. 42 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: Those two concern me. Dear Colin, what's the biggest mistake 43 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: that football fans make every year at this time? Excellent question. 44 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Fans tend to think even great draft picks, top ten picks, 45 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: top five picks will make an immediate impact. Now, there 46 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: are certain positions like running back or cornerback, where it's 47 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: easier to excel. I mean, you can either find the 48 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: hold at running back, cover a guy at corner or not. 49 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener for the Jets should play Week one and 50 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: be really really good. But I covered Warren Sap his 51 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: first year the Buccaneers in Tampa. He was a dominant 52 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: defensive lineman in college. First year, three sacks, second year 53 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: he tripled it to nine. Cooper Cup four years in 54 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: with the Rams with McVeigh. Four years in to that 55 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: offense had nine hundred yards receiving. Derrick Henry really didn't 56 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: pop until about year three or four. He only started 57 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: four games his first year. Derreck Henry, as good as 58 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: he is in his first two years, started four games 59 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: for the Titans offense. It takes a while. There'll be 60 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: a couple of corners and a running backer two that 61 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: will pop early. But this game is fast, it's complex, 62 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: and even great rookies can rarely pop early. Jamar Chase 63 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: Bengals complete outlier. Dearck Collin. Of the notable quarterbacks in 64 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: their second year, which one do you think separates? My guess, 65 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence Jacksonville Number one. He's more talented than the 66 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: rest of them. I think you'll see it this year 67 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: number two. Unlike Mac Jones in New England, the Jags 68 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: have leaned in to Trevor Lawrence. They got him an 69 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: offensive coach, they got him Christian kirk Zay Jones. They 70 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: got him a tight end Evan Ingram, and two running 71 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: backs banged up last year both return this year. In 72 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: every unit offensively they leaned in. It's also a weaker 73 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: than average division. My guess is Trevor Lawrence puts up 74 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: pretty big numbers in year two for the Jags. Can't 75 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: wait to watch it, Dear Colin, what's something that sounds 76 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: political that isn't I'll give you one. Donald Trump, and 77 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: I kind of like it. Maybe responsible for college realignment. 78 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: He eliminated as loophole that allowed college boosters to write 79 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: off their season ticket purchases so fans could deduct eighty 80 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: percent of their donations on their taxes. He eliminated that. 81 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: I mean, in twenty sixteen, Alabama claimed ticket related donations 82 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: of up to twenty five million dollars. But it's no 83 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: longer a rite off. Trump eliminated that. So what happened? Well, 84 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: if I don't get a rite off as a rich guy, 85 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: why am I going to give you a couple million dollars? 86 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: You got to make the games better. Texas said, I 87 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: keep going to my boosters. USC said, we keep going 88 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: to our boosters. I can't sell Oregon State, Washington State, 89 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Texas Tech, and Iowa State. Now Texas can go to 90 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: their boosters who don't get that right off and say 91 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: we'll give you Georgia, we'll give you Obama, we'll give 92 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: you LSU, and we'll give you Oklahoma. All right, I'll 93 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: sign up even though I don't get the right off. 94 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: USC can say I'll give you Michigan, I'll give you Wisconsin. 95 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: I'll give you Penn State, I'll give you Ohio State. 96 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't get the right off, but I want to 97 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: be at those games. It's actually a loophole that was eliminated. 98 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: I think it's been the impetus for Texas USC to 99 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: realign to conferences with bigger name brands on Saturday, and 100 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: I kind of like it. Dear Colin. Does Jimmy gene 101 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: in the Cleveland Browns? Mary Kay Cabot reports that could happen? 102 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: Make sense to you? Yeah, I said this yesterday on Fox. 103 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: It makes total sense. It is a quarterback friendly offense, 104 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: not quarterback centric. Kevin Stefanski has some lineage with Gary 105 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Kubiak and the Shanahans. This offense for Jimmy G will 106 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: be very familiar. Your star is a running back Nick Chubb. 107 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Like the Niners. It's above average offensive line. Jimmy G 108 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: has played in notable division games. Russ Wilson, Sean McVay, Stafford, Kyler, 109 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: Murray to me, Gee has been in a tough division, 110 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: in big national TV games and big playoff games. Cleveland Burrow, Lamar, 111 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: Jackson Steelers national TV games, tough division. I think Jimmy 112 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: G to Cleveland if the suspension is longer than eight games, 113 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: and I think it will be. I think it's a 114 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: natural fit. It's an easy one, all right. John Middlecoff, 115 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: former NFL Scout, host of Three and Out and the 116 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Golow Pod for the Volume of Sports Network. So I 117 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: watched the New York Giants. I wanted to see the 118 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: first couple of drives might takeaway as Daniel Jones is 119 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: just okay. We may get a better version with Brian 120 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Dable the head coach. The old line appeared overwhelmed as 121 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots blitzed. It felt like on every bound. You know, 122 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: I was, I was saying this that I don't think 123 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: fans understand sometimes John, the owners more owners than you think. Medal. 124 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: Eric Mangini has told me incredible stories from both the 125 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: Browns and the Jets, and I think the Maras because 126 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: they drafted this kid at six. I want to see 127 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: it through this year and I just don't see it. 128 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: With Daniel Jones. On the first drive, he had a 129 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: ball out in the flat. Any top fifteen quarterback in 130 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: the league hits that fifteen to fifteen times, flies it 131 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: over his head. You know he can hit a slant well, shit, 132 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: everybody in the league can hit a slant every every backup. 133 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: You know, college guys can hit a slant. I feel 134 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: like the Giants at this point, and I never thought 135 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: i'd say this. I think they're being held back by 136 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: their ownership. I really do. Well, if well you think 137 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: about it, do you remember that moment when Coughlin was fired, 138 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: retired and he left the stage and he didn't shake 139 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: Mara's hand and he stormed out of the room. Well, 140 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: ever since that moment, they've gone through Patch Schremer, Gettleman 141 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: and Joe Judge. It's been an absolute disaster for about 142 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: four and a half years now, and that team's terrible 143 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: and for as bad as listen, you and I could 144 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: be an owner and we'd miss on hiring coaches. That's 145 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: really hard. But to stick with Dave Gettelman in that 146 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: situation over that period of time and let him draft. 147 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean when he drafted Daniel Jones, and I knew 148 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: people that do the sec and go through Duke, he 149 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: was well liked. You know, he was an intriguing prospect. 150 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: It's clear right, he's big, he can move, he's got 151 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: a live arm. He's not that accurate. It turns the 152 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: ball over live, but take him sixth overall. You know, 153 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: even if you're gonna take a swing on a project, 154 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: who's got a long way to go. Jordan Love went 155 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the twenties to take the guy 156 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: sixth overall. Take a running back in a league. Let's 157 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: face it is trending away hard from that at two overall. 158 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: These guys are inheriting a dumpster fire. They really are. 159 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: And this GM had a front row seat at one 160 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,599 Speaker 1: of the great turnarounds we've seen in recent memory in 161 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: the Bills. I think everyone that knows him in the 162 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: league entirely of him and Brian day Ball. Let's face it, 163 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: before Josh Allen and what he did with Josh Allen, 164 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: he deserves a lot of credit, is beyond impressive, right, 165 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: but his resume before that, you know, as offensive coordinator, 166 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: wasn't great. So I think the best thing they could 167 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: ask for is just bought him out, be terrible and 168 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: be in the position which what looks like to be 169 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: a fantastic quarterback, draft and draft a guy and kind 170 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: of start over and maybe Daniel Jones. You know, Alex 171 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: was more accurate. But I do think there's some Alex 172 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: Smith qualities of just there's a lot there. He's a 173 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: high level guy. Maybe someone maybe get with an Andy Reid, 174 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: get get at a high level organization. Just kind of 175 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: resurrect your career, even if it takes being a backup, 176 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: because there are gonna be a lot of people that 177 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: are just gonna blame the Giants. You know, he got 178 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: his ass kicked through Schermer and then the Joe Judge situation. 179 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, he's as of right now on this team. 180 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean they're not set up. Maybe a guy's dropping balls, 181 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: Colin hitting him in their hand. I mean, it's just 182 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be ugly this year in New York. Yeah, 183 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, I said this about Jimmy Garoppolo is we 184 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: don't need to go on about what he is, but 185 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, to me is sort of big game Jimmy. 186 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: He's often very good in the two minute drill. He 187 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: can be really good. Sometimes on the road there's a ceiling. 188 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: But I never worry about him getting tight. I just 189 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: think he's a limited player who's an accurate thrower. But 190 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: I said this, if you brought in Jimmy g to 191 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: like let's say the Seahawks or the Giants, he's your 192 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: best quarterback this year, and even if you draft a 193 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: quarterback top five, he's better than him next year. And 194 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: then he becomes the third year as you're not paying 195 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: your quarterback, potentially you move him or he's a great mentor. 196 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't get the reluctance with Jimmy Garoppolo. You've seen 197 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: him throw at practice over the last two weeks. I 198 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: don't get it. Yeah, yeah, he looks just a normal Jimmy. 199 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you walk out to practice, it's a normal, 200 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: bizarre situation. What team transitions to a new quarterback leaving 201 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: a guy like Jimmy still around, because usually that guy 202 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: creates You know, if Drew Rosenhouse was agent or whatever, 203 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: it would be fireworks, right, get rid of my guy, 204 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: release him, let him pick and choose. But from what 205 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: I've been told is Jimmy does not want the controversy, 206 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: and there's no one right now really to go because 207 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: those places like does he really want to go to 208 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: Seattle or New York? Probably not. I think he's hoping 209 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: this Cleveland thing, you know, materializes, he goes there, good team, 210 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: kind of resurrects his value and then get some money 211 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: this offseason as a free agent. I hear you on 212 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: that one. The only problem is he's good enough to 213 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: win you some games. And if I'm Seattle and definitely 214 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: in New York, I want to bottom out. Okay. You 215 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: know it's like it's like in the NBA. I want 216 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: to have a chance for that number one overall pick, 217 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: and we don't quite know who it's gonna be. Like 218 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: there's not like, uh, Andrew Locke or Trevor Lawrence for sure. 219 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean there are several guys I don't think. You know, 220 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: Bryce is small, right, CJ's a little bigger, but he's 221 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: not his mobile. It'll be interesting. I mean, this college 222 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: season is gonna play out and one guy will kind 223 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: of separate you'd think at the top. But there are 224 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: several of them. So if I'm those two teams, I'm 225 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: not messing with it. And Houston, I know they really 226 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 1: like Davis Mills and you know he's drafted in the 227 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: third round. We have several guys in the league, right 228 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: your guy, Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins. Like we've 229 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: seen in recent memory, some third, fourth, fifth round pick 230 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: become very viable starters. Definitely third and fourth, and Davis 231 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: Mills Big, Good Arm Stanford Smart. You know, Seattle's got 232 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: nobody and obviously the Giant's got nobody, But I would 233 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: I would shed head to the seller if I'm them, 234 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: before I mess with Jimy. I hear what you're saying. 235 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: If I was Jimmy, I would not want any part 236 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: of either of those places though.

Okay, so you've been at Niners practice. 255 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: You know, I totally understand when fan fan is short 256 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: for fanatic. Don't want to hear the truth. But I've 257 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: got four different sources that Trey Land struggles with accuracy. 258 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: You've been at practice. You see it. He has good 259 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: days in bad days. I think it's gonna work, mostly 260 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: because I have such confidence in the roster Kyle Shanahan. 261 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: I've always said the Niners offense is not quarterback centric. 262 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: It's quarterback friendly. You don't have to be great. But 263 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: you've watched Trey Lance. What do your eyes tell you? Yeah, 264 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: up until two days ago, I mean, it have been 265 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: a roller coaster inaccurate. You know, he's about fifty percent 266 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: when even his backups, you know, almost seventy percent. So 267 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: that's an issue. The one thing it is and to 268 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: win in this league, even with a coach like Kyle 269 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: Shanahan that loves running the ball in their defense, is 270 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: gonna be fantastic. Jimmy Garoppolo is really good on third down, 271 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, and what's third down? Usually it's third and eight, 272 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: it's not third and one, right, so you got to 273 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: throw either a longer pass right an intermediate route. And 274 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: I do think the last two days he looked really, 275 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: really good. Now what he has going for him, like 276 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: Mahome several years ago, is he's inheriting a really good team, yeah, 277 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: and a really good coach, and they're unlike even Mahomes 278 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: that first year, his defense is going to be fantastic 279 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: and offensively. The one thing with practice, with his quote 280 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: unquote inaccuracy, is they're really him and Debo are trying 281 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: to develop down the field. I think they're just trying 282 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: to see if there's something there, because you know, Debo 283 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, quick screens hand them the ball. 284 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: They've really kind of forced that, and that's what training 285 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: camps four. The other thing is Kittle and Bosa are 286 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: on kind of unique training camp packages. It's like, we 287 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: know what these guys are, we need seventeen of these 288 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: not that they're proving nothing. So Kittle's not a huge 289 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: part of practice, and he's gonna be like if he 290 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: had and he's a great practice player. Clearly, the Niners 291 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: are like, listen, you come into great shape. We're cool. 292 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: We'll just easy in. He's gonna add five, six, eight 293 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: percent to tray immediately right, big target. It's quicker. Yeah, 294 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: But ultimately what Kyle like, I worked for Andy Reid. 295 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: Andy Reid loves to throwing the ball. That's why he 296 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: ultimately needs a throwing quarterback. And him and Mahomes are 297 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: match made in football heaven. Kyle does not. I mean, 298 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: his family motto is run the football, and he is 299 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: going to run the football a lot. And they have 300 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: so many running backs and their offensive line can run 301 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: block at Kittle, use check. I mean, they're one of 302 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: the only teams that use the fullback. And he's a 303 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: fantastic player, so they basically have seven offensive lineman. I 304 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,239 Speaker 1: do think Trey, he'd have to be pretty bad for 305 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: them to struggle Colin. I think they're gonna be pretty 306 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: good unless he just imployes, which is always possible. Football 307 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: is hard, but he's a high level guy. He's gonna 308 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: make some mistakes. I know you and me agree on this. 309 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: Like picks, I can live with picks. It's just the 310 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: as we talked about Daniel Jones. Are you airmailing someone 311 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: on third and eight when the guy's open to keep 312 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: the sticks moving? Tie game, fourth quarter. It's plays like 313 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: that that you're gonna have to live with him improving 314 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: as the season comes on or goes on. But I 315 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: do think there's a lot there to be very bullish 316 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: on as a player, So listen. I think the Vikings 317 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: are going to be the most improved team. I think 318 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: the Patriots have a chance to be one of the 319 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: bigger drop off teams. I think the Bears are going 320 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: to implode terrible. Yeah, I think they could be the 321 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: worst team in the league. But it's interesting with New England. 322 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: So this was floated to me a few weeks ago, 323 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: and it's a theory that Belichick looked at the schedule. 324 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: The last seven games they play like Pro Bowl quarterbacks. 325 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: So New England needs to start pretty quick, and by 326 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: not naming an offensive coordinator and not giving Mac Jones 327 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 1: any snaps in the preseason, they will have a September 328 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: element of surprise. There are no trends. Matt Patricia's never 329 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: called plays, and that Belichick knows we got to get 330 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: off to a fast start now, Belichick. September has always 331 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: been his experimental month. But I think Bill can look 332 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: at things. I mean, he knows he can't force Josh 333 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: Allen to punt. There are things he knows. Miami has 334 00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 1: upgraded significantly on offense with Kyle Shanahan's system, So that's 335 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: the only thing I can I said the other day, 336 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: if you were sabotaging the Patriots, you do three or 337 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: four things. Overspend for mediocre free agents, cut your best 338 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: corner in a passing league, piss off Tom Brady, and 339 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: have a weird draft with players if you need to 340 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: have no value. Oh yeah, and make defensive coaches offensive coaches. 341 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: It's weird. What do you make of what they're doing? 342 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: Because I can't figure it out. Well, why when you 343 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: flipped on the preseason game, they had a couple of 344 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: guys coming back from injury on defense, and I think 345 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: it's fair to say I'd give him the benefit apt 346 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: their defense, even his son coach in the defense and 347 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: Gerard Mayo, the former linebacker. I think they'll be fine there. 348 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: They typically always are, even though they don't have like 349 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: as famous of guys as they used to offensively like, 350 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty embarrassing to do what they're doing. 351 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, do you remember the play last year where 352 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: Joe Judge and he technically wasn't the offensive coordinator because 353 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: he couldn't he didn't know how he ran the ball 354 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: on like third nine on their pinned back of the 355 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: three yard line, and then like that was I think 356 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: we late in the season, it was based like you 357 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: gotta fire this guy. He didn't last much longer. And Patricia, 358 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: I mean Stafford, who clearly is a really high level 359 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: guy and gets along with everyone, despise the guy. Now, 360 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: That's been the case for a lot of Belichick's coaches, 361 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: right just when they when they've been the head guy. 362 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: But but but I do think that putting a lifetime 363 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: defensive coach, I mean, he's been coaching defense now for 364 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: fifteen years, position coaches, linebacker, DB's defensive coordinator, he obviously 365 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: was not the offensive coordinator when he's the head coach 366 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: in Detroit. To call places like is insane. The only 367 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: way I can wrap my head around this is he's 368 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: trying to save his owner and money because both these 369 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: guys are still getting paid by the Lions and the Giants. 370 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: And if you don't put titles on. You don't have 371 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: to pay him as much. But it's there's no explanation 372 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: for it, Colin. It's any other coach that did it 373 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: would get absolutely eviscerated. Now he's got a little more equity. 374 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: But I think these two guys, Judge and Patricia are 375 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: pretty polarizing names out because we saw like how big 376 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: they flamed out. I mean it was really really bad 377 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: for both right running out of town, embarrassingly bad, like 378 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: completely over their head. Remember Patricia screamed at the reporter 379 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: for not sitting up straight as he's you know, listen, 380 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: I like to eat as much as the next guy, 381 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: but he's just a slob, you know. And let's face it. 382 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: The other thing is that as a defensive coach, they 383 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: got dramatically better when Flores jumped in the next year. 384 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: Wasn't he the defensive coach when ye when Nick Foles 385 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: was slicing and dicing him. It's not like they were 386 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: buttoned up on defense. The Patriots have been better post 387 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: Patricia on defense with Flores and then Belichick and his 388 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: kid that they have been much more buttoned down on 389 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: that side of the ball since Maddie Pete took off 390 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: the Detroit and now he's back working on offense and 391 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: doing Ernie Adams job. Yeah, you can't lose Ernie Adams 392 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: and Dante's Kardecia. Like, there's certain people in any company 393 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: that are just pretty vital, and it's fair to say 394 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: that those two guys play a role that are just 395 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people Patriot guys say 396 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: Josh was pretty powerful individual building. So in the last 397 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: three years they've lost Brady Josh McDaniels and Dante scarnekiet 398 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: the best quarterback of all time, the best offensive loach, 399 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: offensive line coach of all time, and the best coordinator 400 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: offensively in the league. I mean, I'm sorry, And you 401 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: know I said today on the air, you gotta do 402 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: four things, and the Chiefs do all of these. Well, 403 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: the Rams are these, well, got to draft well, Patriots 404 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: don't draft offense. Well, you got to develop it. They 405 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: don't really develop offense. Well, you either have to buy 406 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: it well or coach it. Well, the Chiefs do all 407 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: four of those. Offensively, they draft it, they develop it, 408 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: they coach it, or they'll just go buy it. When 409 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: you look at their free agent they they have the 410 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: most expensive tight end and wide receiving units. They don't 411 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: have a single receiver that can separate. Not what DeVante 412 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: Parker was last in the NFL last year in separation. Shit, 413 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: they can't John, they can't buy offense. Mohammed Sanou was 414 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: a bust. It's in incredible. They can't even buy it. Yeah, 415 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: and they are depending on a guy who obviously max 416 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: an impressive guy, but he's physically limited. And as the 417 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: season gets cold, as it does in New England and 418 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: in Buffalo and the teams that they're gonna have to 419 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: beat late in the season. You know, it's the thing 420 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: that I would bet against Tuah any cold weather game, 421 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: like I'm out. You know, it's it's it's a thing 422 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson. I was talking to someone in the NFL. 423 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: They're like, this guy, Deshaun Watson, who was really good 424 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: before everything happened, but he was He's probably got slightly 425 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: above average arm. Played at Clemson South only warm, and 426 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: then Houston Dome and basically Indies in a dome. Tennessee's 427 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: relatively warmer, right, He's not playing freezing cold games. Now 428 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: He's going to Cleveland where it just gets cold the 429 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: last two months, and think of the teams he's playing, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, 430 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: like they are certain when I worked in Philly, like 431 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: you're not winning up there with a weak arm court. 432 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: That's kind of the question on Jalen Hurts, like can't 433 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: you do it? And well no one else. Time will tell, 434 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: but those times in cold weather, Brady Eli right, some 435 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: of the guys that are going, like even Burrow, he's 436 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: got a pretty good arm. You know, you got to 437 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: have a strong arm to get through the wind and 438 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: the cold, like that factor's in And that would be 439 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: my concern with Mac who, let's face it, down the 440 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: stretch of the season, you know, it wasn't that pretty well, No, 441 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Jay Cutler had some success in Chicago's strong arm, 442 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers strong arm, Stafford Northern division had some success 443 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: strong arm. Who struggled Teddy bridgewaterman McNabb forever, Yeah, Teddy 444 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: Bridgewater in Minnesota. He wasn't as effective Flacco, big Ben, 445 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: you know those guys in that division strong arm. So 446 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: I think there's something I've had, you know, I remember 447 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: when Josh Rosen was coming out and a guy said 448 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: Arizona could work or Miami. You're not putting him in 449 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: a northern windy city, like his ball's not going to 450 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: cut through it. He's slender, it's not gonna work. So 451 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: final question, I think I think Bill just ultimately just 452 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: ran out of coaches. You know, at seventy seventy one 453 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: years old, he's never been big on like hiring random 454 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: coordinators to bring in and this, you know, in a 455 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: weird way, almost took the easy route for a guy 456 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: that isn't You don't think of Bill taking easy routes, 457 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: but that's kind of what it feels like in this 458 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: instance for sure. So Minnesota is my most improved team. 459 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: I thought Cousins and Mike Zimmer last year I was 460 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: told in the building was a mess. I also think 461 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: they'll be healthier. I also think green Bay won't be 462 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: nearly as dynamic offensively. Chicago is still a mess. I 463 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: have the Vikings being my nearly double year win total 464 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: from like what were they last year? Eight? I'll put 465 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: him at like thirteen. Is there a dramatically better team 466 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: in this league in your eyes? My issue, my pushback 467 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: on Minnesota is, you know, I think we just assume 468 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: all these young coaches are just going to be good 469 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: coaching is hard and this guy impressive right drafted once 470 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: by Belichick. McVay likes some smart guy clearly. Yeah, I 471 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: think same thing with Nate Hackett in like it's hard. 472 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: You know, not all these guys are going to hit. 473 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: We talked about that a lot with quarterbacks, like only 474 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: percentage some of these new coaches, especially on these talented teams, 475 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: that just aren't going to work out. But you know, 476 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: they obviously have a lot of talent. This I don't 477 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: think it's a sleeper team. But I do think the 478 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: Chargers have the best roster in the league. And they 479 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: won nine games last year. Like, I don't think it's 480 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 1: inconceivable they win like thirteen fourteen because they had an 481 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: e league offense last year. In the top five quarterback 482 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, multiple teams, you great every player 483 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: in the league. Herbert was anywhere between four and five 484 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: like all the quarterbacks in the league. That's how the 485 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: league viewed him. But their defense was atrocious. Remember they 486 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: got the Texans randed down their throat the last game. 487 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: They couldn't stop Derek Carr. And you add Khalil Mack, 488 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: who's fantastic against the run. You had J C. Jackson 489 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: you add the Rams defensive tackle. You know, Brandon Staley 490 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: is a defensive guy who was I'm not the biggest 491 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: brand Staley guy, but he's tied by Vic Fangio. Their 492 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: defense should be dramatically better, and we know how good 493 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: their offense is. They're rolling everyone back. So I just 494 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: think on paper, like if you told me Andy Reid 495 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: was a coach that team, I'd be like, they're winning 496 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen games. So if Brandon Saley is just solid, 497 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean they could they probably should win the division. 498 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: Now that division is Denver's obviously going to be really good. 499 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: I mean, the Raiders should be pretty good. Who the 500 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: hell's betting against Andy and Mahomes? But not all these 501 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: teams are gonna make the playoffs? Right, Someone in that 502 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: division potentially two right, depending on how it shakes out 503 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: in the FC, could go like nine and eight or 504 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: eight nine or whatever, and it's gonna feel like they 505 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: won three games. You know, if that happens in Denver 506 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: Chargers or the Raiders and they missed the playoffs, even 507 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: if they win nine games, it's gonna feel like a 508 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: devastating blow because they've all had Russell Wilson, you had 509 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, JC Jackson with Herbert, you had Josh McDaniels 510 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: and Davante Adams, Like, I mean, the pressure on all 511 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: those Andy kind of gets to fly under the radar. Well, 512 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: last time I check, he's won the division sixt eight 513 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: years and I don't think they plan on losing it. 514 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: So and they feel pretty confident about their chances when 515 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: they play these teams. So it's that division is that's 516 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: as good as it gets. Right, Because the NFC West 517 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: was Seattle falling off. I actually my team to implode. Yeah, 518 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: I know, you're in New England Mines Arizona. They got 519 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: a lot going on there. I mean the running back 520 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: coach was just arrested. He's on team leave their start. 521 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: The wide receiver that they traded a first round pick 522 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: four was going five hundred miles an hour on the 523 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: way to practice. He went to jail for the day. 524 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: It's got a lot of moving parts. Now they got 525 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: mid season hard knocks that now the pressure you know, 526 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: you make the playoffs, you know, can you do it again? 527 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: It's just like, are they just a lock playoff team? 528 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: You know that they swept the Niners last year, right, 529 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to happen. And now they've 530 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: always played well in the division because Kyler is tough. 531 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: But I feel they're kind of come back to earth 532 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. Now. The NFC's pretty crappy, you know them, 533 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: And for example, Minnesota, who really were last year? I 534 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: mean Minnesota was right there till the end. I mean 535 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: they just kind of imploded on d So I mean 536 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: that they could easily be in the mix. Dallas two, 537 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: I mean Dallas another team that the Eagles have a 538 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: better roster. Now Dallas has the better quarterback, but the 539 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: Eagles have the better team. I mean, Dallas, how many 540 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: weapons on offense can you lose? I mean it's not 541 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: like Dax Aaron Rodgers here. No. I mean, to be 542 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: honest with you, Cedric Wilson was one of my favorite 543 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: threes in the league. I mean he's a really good three. Okay, 544 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: So well, Marie's your best route runner's gone, Your three's gone. Ceedee, 545 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: Lamb's fine to a one gallop step. Proven he can 546 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: be a dependable two. I mean it's it's they don't 547 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: have a three. So Maricot eight touchdowns last year, who's 548 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: replacing the eight touchdowns? Were they divvying those up. That's 549 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: a lot of points. Yep, right, John Middlecoff three and 550 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: out Golo pod Buddy.
