1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? 2 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: How are we doing? 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: My people happy? Uh? Football Saturday and football Sunday gonna 4 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: be some happy people. Gonna be some angry people. No. 5 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: I guess if you're a Texans fan or a comedy fan, 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: you can't be mad if your squad loses. You know, 7 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Bill's raven. Someone's gonna be pissed off there. And I 8 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: would say the it's gonna be hard for a Rams 9 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: fan to be mad. I would say the Eagles would 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: be uh might not be happy. Uh. So yeah, we 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: might have some angry people, but hopefully you guys are 12 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: enjoying football, enjoying life and join your family. Probably a 13 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: little chili wherever you are.

But let's just 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: braning out some mailbag questions. Hey John, I'm from Brazil. 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: I've been an NFL fan and an avid football podcast 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: listener for the past eight years. Ravens at Bills. If 28 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: the Bills lose, it likely will be because of their defense, 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: which has been struggling lately. With that in mind, my 30 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: question is, what would your strategy be to stop or 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: at least slow down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense. Personally, 32 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: I'd focus on stopping the run at all costs and 33 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: forced Lamar to beat us. I think he's a Bills 34 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: fan from the pocket. I think that's easy to say. 35 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: And you know, I was watching. I clicked on Dan 36 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: Campbell's press conference and he talked about and Stucky brought 37 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: this up, how they've struggled against running quarterbacks. I thought 38 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell had a pretty good response. He's like, find 39 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: me a team who plays running quarterbacks, especially the good 40 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: ones who does well. Like there was a reason Lamar Jackson, 41 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: Josh Allen Kyler can have moments. Obviously, Jayden this season 42 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: they're tough to prepare for, and I think it's easy 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: to be like, well, just corral them and force them 44 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: to just get rid of the ball fast. That's easier 45 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: said than done for your defensive lineman. I also think 46 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: the hard part about stopping quote unquote the running game 47 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Ravens. It's not like you 48 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: can send two guys each to Derrick Henry and Lamar 49 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: Jackson on some of these plays. And we've seen the 50 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: Steelers sell out on Lamar Henry go nuts, sell out 51 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: on Henry Lamargo nuts. I don't know if they're you 52 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: basically just need him to fumble. He basically also probably 53 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: need to hit him really hard, which is hard to 54 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: do because he's not like Jayden, and some of these 55 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: guys can be a little more reckless when they're running, 56 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: Like Lamar's great at doing that little PLoP, like he'll 57 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: just PLoP to the ground. So I don't know, I 58 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: think I think you've got to try to create a turnover. 59 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: You can just to me if you had to pick one, 60 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: like Lamar's gonna have a couple explosive runs. And that's 61 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: one thing Dan Campbell mentioned. He's like, yeah, Jayden might 62 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: hit a couple of twenty yard runs, tip you're hat 63 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: and move on. I do think it's really hard. I 64 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: don't think the Bills can win if Derrick Henry's going 65 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: for I don't know, one to fifty plus, because if 66 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: he's going for one to fifty plus, he's probably running 67 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: the ball twenty three to twenty eight times, and it 68 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: just completely controls the clock you're off the field. I 69 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: just I'm trying to looking up the Steelers game. He 70 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: had twenty six carries for one to eighty six. I 71 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: think anything with Derrick Henry over twenty plus carries is 72 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: a problem for the bag. Big Packer fan in Pennsylvania, 73 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: Love Pa, Where do you think the Packers' biggest error is? 74 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: With the injury set aside, it's hard to complain about 75 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: love when the transition is from FARV Great Rogers great 76 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: and love good slash competitive. I agree. I think it'd 77 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: be like going from first class first class. You're still 78 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: sitting in business class. You might not be flying on 79 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: a private jet, but you're not exactly in the back 80 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: of Spirit airlines. Like life's pretty good. I think everyone 81 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: just needs to take a deep breath and say, hey, 82 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: this could be a lot worse. The defense improved this year, 83 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: and the Eagles matchup in the playoffs was probably the 84 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: worst matchup they could have had. You know, I thought 85 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: I saw Jeff Haffley interviewed. Who do the interviewed the Jets, 86 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: the Bears, some of these teams, I mean the Jets 87 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: and the Bears. Holy shit, they interview a lot of people. 88 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: I mean, my god, So I don't even think I've 89 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: seen anyone. Have the Jags interviewed a soul? The Jets 90 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: and the Bears have interviewed a combined five hundred people, 91 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I've seen one headline with 92 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Obviously, the Patriots has banged it out and 93 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: looks like the Raiders are gonna hire Ben Johnson. I 94 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: just think you need some of your younger players to 95 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: just become better. Right. You need one of those wide 96 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: receivers to become an All Star. Right, you need Jordan 97 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: Love to be a top ten quarterback. And if your 98 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: defense is just solid, like you should be able to 99 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: compete in the NFC. It's really that simple, Like one thing, 100 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: look at the look at the two teams above you 101 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: in your own division. You know, Justin Jefferson is an 102 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: elite player. Jordan Addison is a high, high end player. 103 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: Darrisow before he got hurt, was like a big time 104 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: left tackle. So it's like you need some of your 105 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: guys to become like, oh, that guy's a star. Obviously 106 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: the Lions are full of them. Nider fan here, I 107 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: think we need more draft picks, something around ten. The 108 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: defense needs fresh players, talent. We're miles off teams like 109 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: the Eagles, Texans and Chiefs. Defensively, yes, we have Botsa 110 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: and Warner who are excellent. Lenora and Greenlaw are good too, 111 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: and Mustafa and Green seem like good players, but around 112 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: them we are mid or even bad. I miss Buckner, 113 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: Armstead and others. Would you trade back with the eleventh 114 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: pick to accumulate picks or would you trade a player 115 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: with value? I see only Bosa having big trade value. 116 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: Would you trade him? No? I would not. I think 117 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: we've talked about this before. They're gonna pay party. They 118 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: have some guys. You know, green Law's a free agent. 119 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: So if you have Bosa and you have Warner as cornerstones, 120 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: Lenore is a really really good starting corner. Ernardo Green 121 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: who was their second round pick from Florida State is 122 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: looks like he's got a chance to be a good starter. 123 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: You got a bunch of safety depth they you know, 124 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd. Leonard Floyd came on at the end, but 125 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: their defensive line in the first two picks. To me, 126 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: you got to go offensive a defensive line in one 127 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: of the two orders. Ideally you take a left tackle 128 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: at pick eleven. I don't know if a guy's gonna 129 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: be there, but that's what I would do, and I 130 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: would try to take a defensive lineman with my second 131 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: round pick. It's hard to say trade back and accumulate, 132 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's it becomes difficult to trade back, you know, 133 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: for non quarterbacks and stuff like that. There's just not 134 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: a guarantee that it can happen. And sometimes like, oh, 135 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: I'll go eleven to fourteen for you know, a fourth 136 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: round pick. It's like, Okay, get an extra pick. But 137 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: what if I really like two players there at eleven, 138 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: and when I go to fourteen, neither of them might 139 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: be there. It's a no brainer when you're draft in 140 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: one and you don't need a quarterback, and you could 141 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: trade back four spots and accumulate like two first round 142 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,479 Speaker 1: picks and a second and a third. It's like, yeah, 143 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: some of these picks and the teams when you do 144 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: swaps like that, aren't it sexy. I listen to you 145 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: and others, and all I hear is the draft class sucks. Listen, 146 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: I before I read the rest of your question, I 147 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: think it's easy. And I was like this sometimes when 148 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: I scouted, and even now when I talk about football, 149 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: like you can be jaded when you say it sucks. 150 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't suck. Obviously they are gonna be All these 151 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: guys in the first round are very talented players, but 152 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: there is an element relative to other drafts, like, yeah, 153 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: that's not Micah Parsons, Pinasul Jamar Chase, right, you know 154 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: guys Lane Johnson, Trent Williams, JJ Watt, Julio Jones sitting 155 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: in the top fifteen picks. So it's a lot more unknown. 156 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: I think that's better than sucks because there are I mean, 157 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: I watch Abdul Carter's really good, Warren's really good, Gent's 158 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: really good player. I mean, I don't know some of 159 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna go hire anothers, but you know 160 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. The wide receiver from Arizona is a 161 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: good player. The wide receiver from Missouri is a good player. 162 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: There are good players, solid tackle prospects Texas Banks, Campbell 163 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: lsu Like. There are the running back from North Carolina 164 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: as a stud. However, I can't remember a draft that 165 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: has this many later pick project type guys Riley Lanyard, 166 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: Will Howard, Jackson Dart, Milroe and to a degree, Quin Yours. 167 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: I think the draft will showcase those organizations who excel 168 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: with projection and development. Can you speak to the difference 169 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: between a top prospect with relatively average skills or a 170 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: late round pick talent who is elite at one thing 171 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: and needs to be developed. I'd personally rather have Jackson 172 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: Dart in the third round than Shador in the top 173 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: three picks. I had a scouting buddy text me yesterday. 174 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a friend who's a scout, and 175 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: he's like, he's like, I'm just watching Miami right now. 176 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: He's like this Cam war buzz feels a little crazy 177 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: to me. He's like, I can't see him as the 178 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. Now. It's all relative because it's 179 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: the quarterback class, but I think there are a lot 180 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: of question marks with the high end guys. So I 181 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: think when you talk about drafting a guy really high, 182 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: it has to be a no brain or the guy's 183 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: going to be your franchise quarterback. Like look at this 184 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: we've talked about this weekend. You know all these guys 185 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: in the first round. You know, Lamar is a first 186 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: round pick, but when you take a guy thirty two, 187 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: it's like Jordan Love like you're hoping. But when you 188 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: look at the other guys Mahomes ten, Josh Allen seven, 189 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: Golf one, Stroud to Jaden two, you know those guys 190 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: were projected to be your franchise guy. The expectation for 191 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: those guys are stupid high. They really are. And I 192 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: think that's why you take Shador and cam Ward, Like 193 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: can the guy be c J. Stroud and Jayden Daniels, 194 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: Because if you can't, then I'd have I would just 195 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: take Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter. So when you look 196 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: at the other guys, when you look at like third 197 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: and fourth round quarterbacks, usually the coaching staff plays a 198 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: big role. Obviously, the GM and your scouts should like 199 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: the player. But when you look at non like top 200 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: fifty quarterback, usually someone's banging the table and feels very 201 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: passionate about the player. You know, famously, Russell Wilson was 202 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: pushed heavily. 203 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: By John Schneider. 204 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll looked at him and was like, this guy's 205 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: too short. I mean, this guy he would have been 206 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: the smallest player at USC, so I think he had 207 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: to be convinced, and ultimately he was and they made 208 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: the right decision. 209 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: You know. 210 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: The story on Brock Purdy, who obviously was drafted even 211 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: later was Brian Greasy loved him, loved him, and maybe 212 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: like Kubiak or Slowick or one other guy really liked him. 213 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: But you have to have someone as a proponent for 214 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: you in the building. Cause let's just pick a number. 215 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: Let's say there are six boxes to check as a 216 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: quarterback that define your ability, size, speed, you know, just 217 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: your your your body type is one, your arm strength 218 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: is too and I'm not this is no order accuracy, processing, production, 219 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: like all these checks. Maybe you're just good at a 220 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: couple of them and you're missing, like, you know, he 221 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: wasn't that productive. He's kind of small, it doesn't have 222 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: a great arm, but he's really accurate and he's really smart. 223 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: You have to have someone fighting because it is easy, 224 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: and I think this is just a natural, you know, 225 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: something that humans do. Right, It's so easy to pick 226 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: the negative side, well he can't do this, Well he 227 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: can't do that, And I can be like that sometimes 228 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: in life, like you want to do this, No, I'm 229 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: not really feeling that you want to do that. Think 230 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: how many people that you do business with? Yeah, if 231 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: we shouldn't do that, yeah, it's it's the easiest thing 232 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: to do is essentially to say no. It always is. 233 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes the hardest thing to do is like yeah, I 234 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: see that, Yeah, let's do that. As crazy as that sounds, 235 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: it's no different scouting, it's no different life. So I 236 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: think these guys will Howard's, Riley, Leonard's Jackson Darts wherever 237 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: they get drafted, they are gonna have people internally, it's 238 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be split, right, They're gonna be people like ah, 239 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't really see it, and they're gonna be a 240 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: couple people, and clearly they are gonna have some influence 241 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: that truly believe, Like I see something here, and I 242 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: think with quarterback, one separator that is impossible to quantify 243 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: is the kid like the wiring of the player, Like 244 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: just look at some of these guys that are still 245 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. You know, either they're like Jimmy 246 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: Garoppolo is just really well liked in the locker room, 247 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: even Davante, who hated him as a players, like, yeah, 248 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: I really like Jimmy. You know, there's something I watched 249 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: Joshua Dobbs on the forty nine ers, like, yeah, this 250 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: guy's just people just like this guy. People just really 251 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: really Marcus Mariota. Mariota is a great example. I've never 252 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: met a human being that has spent one second round Mary. 253 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Others like yeah, I really like the guy, or I 254 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: mean the opposite, like I don't like the guy. He 255 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: is his approval ratings really really high. And that stuff 256 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: matters when you're talking about guys that are definitely they 257 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: might become starters, but they're drafted to compete to be 258 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: the backup. John kirk Cousins is literally so much better 259 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: than Donald and he got bench this year, and like 260 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: you said, all they do is throw. Even Alex Smith 261 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: fell into a thirty touchdown season. I got to push 262 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: back on that. I'm not sure Alex ever threw thirty touchdowns, 263 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: but kirk Cousins in twenty twenty five is not better 264 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: than Sam Donald. Alex Smith never had a thirty touchdown season. 265 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: His best season was twenty six touchdowns. I only push 266 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: back on that because I've looked at that number up 267 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: so many times. I watched Donald sucks every big game 268 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: that he is hidden by multiple games going on. He's horrible, 269 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: He's terrible, bright lights, he sucks. I watched him at 270 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: USC played Notre Dame. I was in the stands watching 271 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: the game. They lost forty two to fourteen. Aller just 272 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: lost to Notre Dame in the playoff, and you say 273 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: he's undraftable. Sam Donald was dramatically better than Drew Aller 274 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: in college. And Sam Donald also just had a really 275 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: good season down the stretch of the season. He went 276 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: on the road in Green Bay, which is clearly a 277 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: good defense, and on the road in Seattle and made 278 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: big plays. He did not play well in the last 279 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: two games. The Lions game, he was completely overwhelmed the 280 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: next game, like, I'm sorry, it was on both of them, 281 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: and I watched I'm a sicko, but I watch a 282 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: lot of coaches press conferences, and I watched Kevin O'Connell 283 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: discuss those last two games and he was obviously asked 284 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: a lot of questions about Sam Donald. You know, Kevin's 285 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: kind of a smooth cat. You know, he's good looking. Dude, man, 286 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: you're just like, damn, I kind of just say, I 287 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: understand why people like the guy, but you know, he's 288 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: not a huge take full responsibility kind of did. But 289 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: even he said, like, listen, we should have had more 290 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: answers in the quick game to get rid of the ball. 291 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: Everything didn't have to be a deep breaking route when 292 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: our offensive line was getting smoked and me and the 293 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: quarterback kind of fell apart. The other thing is, okay, 294 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: he's not great in big games. We don't even know. 295 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: My pushback on JJ McCarthy is is he going to 296 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: be good in the NFL in regular games? Like if 297 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: you're just playing the Jacks or the Titans, or the Cardinals, 298 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: or just just pick a team, the Niners, the Packer, 299 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: Like can he just function? I have no clue. So, yeah, 300 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, can we win a super Bowl with this guy? 301 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: If you want to tell me, no, what am I 302 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: going to argue with you? One you're the mist Vikings. 303 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: You don't win super Bowls? And two this guy just 304 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: legend in the playoffs, Tody Kirk, Cousins legend in the 305 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: playoffs could do way worse. You could do way worse 306 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: than Cousins and donald. One big difference with Cousins and 307 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: Donald is Cousins can't move, Donalds can't. Now. We can 308 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: discuss like Donald is a long way to go to 309 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: be as consistently good over the course of his career 310 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: as Cousins. But I don't think we can just act 311 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: like Sam Donald is now Will Levis because he had 312 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: two bad games NFL playoffs.

Would you put Less 343 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: up on the mount Rushmore of gms. And secondly, what 344 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: are the mount Rushmore gms like him and Howie doing 345 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: so well and put them above ineffective gms. That's a 346 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: good question. You know, him and Howie deal a little differently, 347 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he's got and I'm not trying 348 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: to Less sneak. Clearly it's an awesome GM. I mean, 349 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: the first time they got high draft picks, they crush it. 350 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: He's got Sean McVay. So as a GM, you look 351 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: way better when you have a good coach. Bret veachuld 352 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: be the first tell you I'm infinitely better as a 353 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: GM and gonna have a long GM career because I 354 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: worked for Andy Reid than if I had some random coach. 355 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: So you look better as a GM when you got 356 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: a good coach. But you know, I've never been around Less. 357 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: I just know how he there was just like a 358 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: relentless energy to always be like finding more information, and 359 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: I think there's never you're not quick. And this gets 360 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: back to like say no, like let's keep asking questions 361 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: about stuff and listen how he's pivoted over the years. 362 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: I think one thing he's done recently is he actually 363 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: made it pretty simple I mean he really did. Let's 364 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: just draft the best players from the best teams instead 365 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: of trying to overthink this. And it started when he 366 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: made the Jalen Ragor pick when he got a little cute. 367 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: It's like, just take Justin Jefferson from LSU. The team 368 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: just won the Natty and what have they done since? 369 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: Just take elite Blue Chippers, Carter Georgia, Nolan Smith Georgia, 370 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: Nikobe Dean Georgia, Sa Kwan's available boom Penn State number 371 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: two overall, pick elite talent. Let's take him. Let's get 372 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: Makai Beckton, a former blue chip guy and move him 373 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: to guard. Obviously got to get lucky. I mean the 374 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Zach bond Vic Fangio thing I no one saw coming. 375 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer for you, I really don't. 376 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: I just think I don't know if there's like a 377 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: specific process that separates them. I think Jared Versu and Fisk. Yeah, 378 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: let's just who's one of the best defense in the country. 379 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: Last year Florida State, who are their two of their 380 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: best players? I mean three of their players went from 381 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: pick like whatever Verse was seventeen or eighteen. It was him. 382 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: Who's awesome, Rinaldo Green, who the Niners took, who's one 383 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: of their starting corners now? And Fisk It's like, yeah, 384 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: these players are really good. I guess sometimes it's like, 385 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: let's good, let's look at a cow Pauly No, I 386 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: went there, You should not who's playing at Ohio State, Alabama, 387 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, LSU Georgia, Texas's that's don't don't overthink this. 388 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: And like I said, I can't speak to the individual 389 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: separating processes. Besides, they're just some people are just better 390 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: at their jobs. Like I'm just better than you for 391 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: whatever reason. I have more talent. I have more of 392 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: an I don't know, I don't know if it's innate, 393 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: but a natural skill to figure this stuff out. You know. 394 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: One thing how he's a lite at is understanding value. 395 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: And I think some of these scouts that kind of 396 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: grow up just scout scout scout scout don't quite understand finances. 397 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: And when you're the GM, I mean a huge part 398 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: of your job is obviously managing the salary cap with talent. 399 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: And then the draft is essentially just an economic exercise. 400 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: What do I need to pay for this player? Do 401 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: I need to trade up and get him, or can 402 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: I wait to get him, or can I trade back 403 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: to get him and accumulate more. It's basically the stock 404 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: market and how he's really smart that way. One thing 405 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: how he is a lead at I can't speak to 406 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: less is his ability to accumulate information of his relationships 407 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: with agents, media and other gms. He's pretty good at that. 408 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: And it's, you know, the job, you need to spend 409 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: a lot of time talking to people on the phone 410 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: and texting, Like if your if you tell me a 411 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: GM is just sitting in his office watching tape all day, 412 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: that's it's not gonna work. I heired Cowboy fan from Memphis. 413 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: Coward is my all time favorite, but I must admit 414 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: the only time I shake my head at his takes 415 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: is when he crushes Deck. I remember he predicted he 416 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't do much and we ended up scoring the most 417 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: points per game in the league. Then after Kellen left, 418 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: everyone acted like we fall off a cliff, only for 419 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: us again to have the top offense in the league, 420 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: with Dak arguably getting cheated out of the MVP seeing 421 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: as the stats were far superior to Lamar Jackson's. My 422 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: point is that y'all are way too low on Dak, 423 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: and it's a bit of an insult to put guys 424 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: like Herbert or Kyler Murray above him. I don't know. 425 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't know who's putting Kyler Murray above Dak. I 426 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: would you find me that human. My theory on why 427 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: people lowball Dak's greatness is because of a stocky, almost 428 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: full back built that some are blinded by. And just 429 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: how beautiful of a bal he throws is this Dak Prescott. 430 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: I get that he had to down year, and I 431 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: also get that he has led us to the promise 432 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: and he hasn't led us to the Promised Land. But 433 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: I truly believe that Dak is a top five quarterback. Okay, 434 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: I don't really know where we're going with this. I 435 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: just got to disagree there. Dak's a good player, and 436 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: you guys have won a lot of games with him. 437 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: The reason people are heart on Dak is because he 438 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: has been terrible in the playoffs that three year stretch 439 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: where they win twelve games every year, he threw a 440 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: combined five interceptions, so statistically, and these weren't balls tipped 441 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: up in the air freak. I mean he was hitting 442 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: dudes in the Niners in stride. He was not good 443 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: last year. Wasn't totally as fault against the Packers, but 444 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: we have to admit he was atrocious in the playoffs. 445 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: And one thing with Herbert comparing him, if you just 446 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: pulled every GM in the league, who you would rather have, 447 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or Justin Herbert, I think it would be unanimous. 448 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: Jerry might be the only guy, but Justin Herbert's also 449 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 1: five years younger than Dak. Now part of it, too 450 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: is like you play for the Cowboys, you play for 451 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees, you play for the Lakers, like you just 452 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: get talked about more. If Dak Prescott played for the 453 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: Jackson was doing the same thing, we would probably talk 454 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: about him differently. I'm an Eagles fan. I feel like 455 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: nobody in the media acknowledges how challenging it is for 456 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks to constantly have new coordinators and expect to make 457 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: so much significant progress. Since Hurst has entered the league, 458 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: he's had four different coordinators in five years. It looks 459 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: like he will be on his fifth, with Kellen Moore 460 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: potentially getting the Cowboys job. The only time Hirts has 461 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: had two years with a coordinator with Shane Steichen and 462 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles won to a Super Bowl. What are your 463 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: thoughts on this? It is difficult, and this is an 464 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: underlying issue with the Eagles is like they have. 465 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 2: It's gonna look how old, it's amazing, how powerful Wikipedia is. 466 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: They have this forty three year old offensive coach who 467 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 2: can't call plays. So it's like, let's say, as we 468 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: sit here jan seventeenth, Kellen Moore is the next cowboy 469 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: head coach. They have to get a new coordinator because 470 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: their forty three year old offensive coach cannot call plays. Like, 471 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: that's just kind of an issue. Yeah, it's not an 472 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: ideal situation. And even if you quote unquote keep the 473 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: same scheme, keep the same terminology you fit into our offense, 474 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: you're still getting a new voice. It's like if you 475 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: have a business partner for a year, every day you 476 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: work together, every single day, and then all of a sudden, 477 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: the year ends January one, and I take Jim away 478 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: and I insert Bill, and then for two years you 479 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: and Bill work together, and you and Bill do a 480 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: really good job. 481 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: He's good at sales, you're good at the accounting and 482 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: the structure of the business, and it just goes well, 483 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden Bill looks at you 484 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: and goes, I'm out, and then you get Sam. So yeah, 485 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: even if you keep some of the same processes in 486 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: place in your business, there are still just a communication 487 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: And let's face it, we all are wired differently. So 488 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: whatever we do, if you were in my business with me, 489 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 1: in the podcasting world, in the digital space of talking 490 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: about sports, if you're in finance, if you're in architecture, 491 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: we all have some just philosophical beliefs on the way 492 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: we do things after a while and the right and 493 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: wrong way to be successful. So it's tough. There's no 494 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: way around it. I don't know what else to say, 495 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: but I do think it gets back to the root 496 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: of the problem. Sean McVay can lose a coach, Kyle Shanahan, 497 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur, Kevin O'Connell can lose offensive coaches, it does 498 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: not change their offense or their communication with the quarterback 499 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: because it's them. And I'm not trying to just shit 500 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: on Siriani, but he's essentially like Jim and John Harbaugh, 501 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: except he's twenty years younger. What would be the bigger 502 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: story the Chiefs three Pete or the Lions win the 503 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It's a good question. I'd argue if the 504 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: Lions were to beat the Chiefs, that would probably be 505 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: the biggest story. The Bills winning, I think the biggest 506 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: story would be the Chiefs losing in the Super Bowl. 507 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: So if that meant the Eagles or the Lions beating them, 508 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: I think that would be the biggest story. Now, given 509 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: that the Eagles went to a Super Bowl two years ago, 510 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: they won a Super Bowl in seventeen, you could argue 511 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: the biggest story possible would be the Detroit Lions winning 512 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and beating this team in the middle 513 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: of their dynasty. Quick question, what step would you take 514 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: in making the Jets a team that can compete yearly? 515 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: What coaches gms would you bring in? What trades would 516 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: you make? Well, I don't know if you've seen I'm 517 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: sure you have because you're probably a Jets fan. They 518 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: have interviewed so many people. You could argue at this point, 519 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: when you see a situation like that, like I give 520 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: the Crafts credit, it's like they fired drid Mail because 521 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: they knew who they were going to hire. It's why 522 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: I have an issue when people freak out about the 523 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: Rooney rule. To me, when you have specific people that 524 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: you're going to hire, like, I have a hard time 525 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: getting up in arms for doing fake interviews, which the 526 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: Crafts clearly did. They wanted Mike Vrabel, you know, the 527 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame player that played for them. No different 528 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: then last year they wanted Gerrod Mail, you know, their 529 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: former team captain player. It's like, if that's who you want, 530 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: I got no issue with you. I don't have a 531 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: problem if you circumvent red tape and the last two 532 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: years now doesn't. Mike Rabele might not work. I bet 533 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: he will, but I got no issue in that situation. 534 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: I also think if you're a Super Bowl winner, I 535 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: should just be able to hire you immediately. I remember 536 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: when when when Mark Davis hired John Gruden, they kind 537 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: of did the same thing. It's like Mark Davis knew 538 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: he was gonna hire John Gruden six months ago. Who 539 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: gives a fuck. The Jets have absolutely no clue who 540 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna hire, and you could argue that represents the organization. 541 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: I think the organization is just lost at see and 542 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: it might not be fixable. When Woody Johnson owns the 543 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: team and he's going to continue to own the team, 544 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: So I'd argue, there's not much you can do, you know, 545 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: and who knows maybe the end up. If I was them, 546 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: I would just try to get a guy that already 547 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: had experience, so I could just get the trade back 548 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: on the tracks. I thought Rex Ryan was gonna be 549 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: the coach. It doesn't look like it's probably gonna happen. 550 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: But Rex Ryan, Pete Carroll, Mike McCarthy. I would do 551 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: something like that over hiring some random coordinator. Clearly you're 552 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: not getting Mike Rabel and obviously you're not getting you know, 553 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: you're not getting Ben Johnson. So I would just hire 554 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: a guy with experience, and if we could just have 555 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: a couple of years where we win like eight nine games, 556 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: that would feel like a win. What do you think 557 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: of Kyle McCord? Also, how do you think Syracuse will 558 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: be next year? I have no clue on Syracuse next year. 559 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: I watched a couple of Syracuse games. He obviously looked 560 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: really good, and it's weird. And this is the hard 561 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: part about scouting, or even when you do what I do, 562 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: is last year, when Ryan Day kicked Kyle McCord out 563 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: of the program, I just kind of lean like, yeah, 564 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: he's not that good. Ohio State thinks he can't play 565 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: and moved on, and they were clearly justified for doing it. 566 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: And obviously they're having success this year, so it's not 567 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: like they made the wrong move. But I thought they 568 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: just shorted a player who just wasn't that good. And 569 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: you look at his numbers last year. He threw twenty 570 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: four touchdowns and six interceptions, and he was sixty six 571 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: percent completion percentage, so he wasn't that bad. Now, there 572 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: were some games where you watched him, he definitely left 573 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: to be something to be desired. He goes to Syracuse, 574 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: he throws thirty four touchdown. Now he did throw twelve picks. 575 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: I probably only watched a couple of your games. I 576 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 1: definitely watched the game against against UNLV. I remember thinking game, damn, 577 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: he's he's slinging the pill. I think I watched your 578 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: bowl game too. Who you guys playing the bowl game? 579 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: Were you guys in the Holiday Bowl? He throws a 580 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: nice ball, he's got a he's got a live arm, like, 581 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: he's got a strong long arm. I could see him 582 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: being like a third or fourth round pick for sure. 583 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't see why he couldn't be a backup in 584 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. I just got done with your reaction video 585 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: to the Rams and Viking game. Although I usually agree 586 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: with most of your takes, I have to disagree with 587 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: your take on Kevin O'Connell. I understand that he's zero 588 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: to two in the playoffs, but this team was supposed 589 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: to only win six and a half games. If anything, 590 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: this team overachieved. Sometimes you just need to find your 591 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: franchise guy. Andy Reid may have had some success with 592 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: McNabb back in the day, but he was one and 593 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: four with Alex Smith. Andy Reid didn't win his first 594 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl until his twenty first season as a head coach. 595 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: He didn't even make the playoffs until his third season. 596 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,479 Speaker 1: I do agree with you that KOC needs to figure 597 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: out his running game, but that game was mostly on 598 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. Pretty obvious that Sam Donald has issue has 599 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: an issue of holding onto the ball. Listen. I think 600 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: when you react live five minutes after game, sometimes I 601 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: think people can take the uh just the headline of 602 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: what you said away and kind of project that on everything. 603 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Kevin O'Connell is a bad coach, obviously, 604 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: he is a dynamic young coach with a bright future. 605 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: I think I've really kind of come to the conclusion 606 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: he's the better version of what everyone told me Mike 607 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: McDaniel is. But he still gets put in a category 608 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: with the guys who have won a lot of playoff games. 609 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: And he's played three big games in his life. Even 610 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: he said this, the game against the Giants, the Lions game, 611 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: and the Rams game, and he's lost them all. Now 612 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: you can say, hey, they were only supposed to win 613 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: six games, true, and then they turned out to be good. 614 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: Why because their quarterback turned out to be a pro bowler, 615 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: and obviously their defense is good and they were just 616 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: a good team. So you're in a game. And again 617 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: these aren't my words, these are his. Is. We have 618 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: to be able to be in these close games, the 619 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: Lions and the Rams, even if we're losing, to be 620 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: in the game. Once the game gets away, it's a waste. 621 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: You're fucked. Why can't we keep these games clubs? In 622 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: my take, I put the Lions game on Sam Darnold. 623 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: But in that game, when you're down ten to three, 624 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: even seventeen to three, sustaining a drive and scoring a 625 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: touchdown to make it seventeen to ten, or hell a 626 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: field goal seventeen to six. Maybe you forced Matt Stafford 627 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: to throw an interception. I don't know, he's been known 628 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: to do that. All of a sudden, you get a 629 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: pick six or a fumble six, and damn, it's seventeen 630 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: to thirteen and you're back in the game. But when 631 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 1: you just are obsessed not just with throwing but throwing 632 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: deep balls, when your offensive line sucks, that's on the coach. 633 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: That's all I was saying. I thought he coached a 634 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: poor game. You can be a Andy Reid's coach poor games. 635 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin coaches bad games all the time. Kyle Shanahan 636 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: was an embarrassment most of this season. It happens like 637 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not acting like you should fire the guy. 638 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: But we can't just pick the fall guy and say 639 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell had nothing to do with it. Kevin O'Connell 640 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: had a good season, so did Sam Darnold, and then 641 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: they got in the big moment and they both kind 642 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: of cratered against a Hall of fame quarterback and a 643 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: Hall of fame coach worked him. I saw this post 644 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 1: asking what's the worst combination of teams to be a 645 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: fan of. I'm a Cowboy fan, Longhorm, Texas Ranger fan, 646 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: and Miami Heat fan. Up until last year, the Rangers 647 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: pretty awful and recent memory for all my teams just 648 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: based on expectation and what actually happened. Curious your thoughts are? 649 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I would say the Miami Heat. You guys 650 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: went to four straight finals with Lebron James. I don't 651 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: know how old you are, won two titles. Haven't you 652 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: been to the finals a couple times with Jimmy Butler. 653 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: That's not a bad team to be a fan of. 654 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have three straight years of winning twelve games. 655 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: The Texas Longhorns have been in the Final four two 656 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: years in a row. The Texas Rangers, you guys just 657 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,720 Speaker 1: hired Boaching won a World Series. That's not even close. 658 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: I do think a lot of people throw Minnesota in there. 659 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota would be tough. I don't know, you're doing like 660 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: a mix and mash. So if you just pick an 661 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: area and go like Chicago, right, the Bears, the Bulls, 662 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: the Cubs like that, that'd be tough. But you can't 663 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: be like, well, you know, I'm like a I'm a 664 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: Rams fan. I like No Dame. I fucked with the Mavericks. 665 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's like I like Alabama football. If you 666 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: do that, it's hard. I mean, I think a lot 667 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: of people have elements of that. So I guess for 668 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: you specific like, you're living pretty well. Okay, well I 669 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: done this. If you've got a chance to watch the 670 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: TGL debut, what are your thoughts. I live in Scottsdale, 671 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: like playing casually and I'm a pretty avid follower of 672 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: what goes on the course Pgavers Live. I thought the 673 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: debut was well executed in a traditional sport. It's something 674 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: new that said. I wonder about the sustainability each week, 675 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: Even as a pretty avid follower of Tiger and Rory, 676 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: I could see the novelty wearing off thoughts on where 677 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: it may fit. A couple of people have asked texted 678 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: me buddies of mine, like what is this. I'm like, 679 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,320 Speaker 1: it's just a made for TV money grab for Tiger 680 00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: Rory and ESPN. They're just trying to get some to 681 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: put on television on Tuesdays and Mondays in the spring 682 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: and the summer when there's nothing going on. ESPN's not 683 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: going to carry baseball for much longer. The NBA, like 684 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: people aren't really watching, so it's like, might as well 685 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 1: try some other stuff. And golf simulation is pretty fun. 686 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: Even if you don't like golf. If I take you 687 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: to a simulator, you will enjoy it. Now, when you 688 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,959 Speaker 1: get famous people I e. Tiger in the event, yeah, 689 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: I'll pay attention, but I'm with you the screen. If 690 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: I just take you to a simulator. The screen that 691 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: they have at the TGL, I think is twenty four 692 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: times the size of enormous normal simulator, which are obviously big. 693 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: So it's cool watching the simulator, but after they hit 694 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: a couple of shots, it's like okay. And I am 695 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: a golf sicko. I consume every single event on the 696 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: PGA Tour. I consume golf podcasts. I follow the sport 697 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: very very closely. And I had it on and Maria 698 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 1: looked at me. She's like, are we really gonna watch 699 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: this every week? I'm like, this is not something you know. 700 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fight for this on the television on 701 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: Tuesdays every single week. But I was like, hey, well 702 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: I'm watching two weeks in a row. I'm watching the 703 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: debut and then I'm watching Tiger play and it was 704 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: just an easy watch in the background. I mean, for me, 705 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: it'd be the equivalent of like a guy that watches 706 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: baseball but doesn't really watch baseball, he just has it 707 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: on the background. That's what I did pay attention a 708 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: little bit see some social clips. Do I think it's 709 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: gonna become some moment, No, I honestly, I think at 710 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it'll be closer to you know, 711 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: when you see like cornhole championships on television, when you 712 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: see like pickleball, the explosion of that on television. Even 713 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: like saying volleyball, you know on a weekend, if you 714 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,720 Speaker 1: go to the gym and you're like on the treadmill 715 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: and you're flipping around channels like Saturday Morning or Saturday 716 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: you know at New in the in the summer and 717 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: volleyballs on I think it's kind of like that just 718 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: on TV. They created this. It probably is a huge 719 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,720 Speaker 1: help to their corporate connections to take care of those guys. 720 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: But I guess a long winded way of saying that 721 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: it's got a ceiling, it's probably gonna peak early and 722 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: just kind of be there on TV for someone that 723 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: when nothing else is on television. Do I think it's 724 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: going to be some transcendent thing. I do not, And 725 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: it's cool to watch for the first you know, for me, 726 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: like thirty minutes, For probably a casual person five ten minutes, 727 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: and then the novelty wears off really really fast. To me, 728 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: the key is for them to fuck around and not 729 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: take it that seriously, and that happened a little bit 730 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 1: with Tiger. I think an element that would definitely help 731 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: bust out the booze. Like if you and me went 732 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 1: to this thing, it's essentially like a digital top golf, 733 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: we would probably have a cocktail or two. It would 734 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: be very It's a fun event, so have the guys 735 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: have like, hey, if you want to have a cocktail, 736 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: I have a cocktail. Honestly, it's probably better if it 737 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: could be on YouTube and they could swear. That feels 738 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: like it would have a higher ceiling then the version 739 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: of this it's a little more corporate. But listen, I 740 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: appreciate them for trying something different. I just don't know 741 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: if we're going to look back in like five years 742 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: and this thing is gonna still be rolling. The actual 743 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: thing they built definitely will corporate events. I think they 744 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: could charge a ton per hour for people to hit 745 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: on it during the day when no one's there. You know, 746 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: they will expand to Scottsdale, probably Vegas, Dallas, They'll have 747 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,919 Speaker 1: other spots and they'll be able to make a bunch 748 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 1: of money. It will work that way. But just in 749 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: terms of the television event, I don't know how big 750 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: it'll be over the course of three four years. I 751 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: do think the business behind it bars there. Hell, I 752 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: could go, you know, if there was one in Scottsdale, 753 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: and there have been rumors out them building one here. Hey, 754 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: not doing anything today, Take go there with some buddies, 755 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: take your wife or girlfriend, go have a couple of drinks, 756 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 1: hit some balls into the into the screen. It'd be cool. 757 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be great for TV? I you know, 758 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: I think we've got to be realistic. Probably not. Audios, 759 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: have a great day, See you later. The volume
