1
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: What Is Up? Everybody? Three and Out podcast, super Bowl

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Week Live from My house. It did not make the

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this week or this year like last year,

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: which was awesome, but no dice, you know, Corona restrictions

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: with the players and coaches. It just it doesn't make

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: any sense. Really didn't, you know, never even looked into it.

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I just fall in the league this year and watching

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: the way other media people it didn't add up. So

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: we will just live in and chart from the home base. Luckily,

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. There was this guy named

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. He was traded for a guy named Jared Goff,

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: and all these picks. We will, of course dive into

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: that every single angle. Several teams, as Albert Brier and

14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Peter King were reporting that we're in on the mix

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: for a lot of picks and first rounders and maybe

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: not first rounders. I'll give my take on the teams

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: that didn't get them and kind of where they go

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: from here, and then we'll hit on some other stories

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: like Sirianni's disaster press conference, Tom Brady says he wants

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: to play before h past, and a bunch of other stuff.

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Gudakins on Rogers and of course leave a review if

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: you could. Three and Out podcast. If you listen on

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Collins Feed, greatly appreciate that. Also three and Out podcast

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: separate feed and and Middlecoff mail back at John Middlecoff

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: is the Instagram handle you guys know, the drill. Leave

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: a direct message they called d ms, some call it

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: sliding into the d m s and I will answer

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: it here on the show, or I'll answer it manually

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: with you, which is basically like text messaging, so we'll

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: just text back and forth. Either way, we'll do some interaction.

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: But let's start with the trade and my overall like

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: whenever there's a trade, this is why I love pro

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: football because with free agency and the draft and any trades,

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: any transaction action, it is an economic exercise. It's all

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: about the value. The value in the player, the value

36
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: in the assets giving up for the team acquiring said player,

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: the value in what other teams were willing to pay.

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: It's fascinating and nothing is more fascinating than a quarterback trade.

39
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: We've seen several high you know, priced, big blue chip

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: names traded over the last couple of years, right from

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Digs last year to Jalen Ramsey to Jamal Adams to

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Khalil Macknett in first round picks and second round picks.

43
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: So we have a pretty good idea. If you want

44
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: to Jamal Adams, if you wanted Jalen Ramsey, what the

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: bidding price is? Right? Two ones and a two. That's

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: the going rate for a pro Bowl level player. Like

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: it or not, It's just it's the precedent. I'm not

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: a lawyer. They used that word a lot. The precedent

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: has been set. It's why Deshaun Watson is so fascinating.

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: It's like, is he really gonna cost four ones? I'm

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: pretty sure you could only trade first round picks or

52
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: just picks in general four years out, so that's the

53
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: max you can trade besides clearly players. But we'll see

54
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: on that one. I'm not as sold as he's gonna

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: get traded because this is not the National Basketball Association.

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 1: Agents don't dictate the terms. And I have a hard

57
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: time seeing Cassirio getting pushed around, not because I think Casserrio,

58
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: some big, bad, tough guy, was some rumors might be

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a burner account going around, either by Jack easter By

60
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: or Nick Casserrio. Either way, he's spent twenty years with Belichick.

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I also know the way

62
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: gms think, and I'm sure many people listening to if

63
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: you just follow the league, how often do you see

64
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: four first rounders traded? So I think we can pump

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: the brakes on that trade a little bit. Feels a

66
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: little more social media driven than reality driven. But the

67
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Stafford trade, to me, was fascinating. Here's the number one

68
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: thing you have to realize. If I'm offering you ten

69
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars right now, that is worth more than ten

70
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in two and a half years. Right. Anyone

71
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: that's taken finance classes, time value money, money now more

72
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: powerful than money later. And the way picks are valued.

73
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: And I talked to several lucky enough to know people

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: that are in charge of the salary camp and in

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: charge of the trade charts, and they will tell you

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: a first round pick this year. So if I'm the

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Panthers or I'm the Niners and I give pick eight

78
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: or I give pick twelve for Matt Stafford the Lions,

79
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: that pick is viewed as on right, you are getting

80
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: my first round this year, and you could use it

81
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: on a player. Well, like the Rams. They gave first

82
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: round pick in two thousand twenty two and a first

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: round pick in two thousand twenty three. Unlike my money analogy,

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: the the amount is not set because it's dictated on

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: a roster. Right, this is basic football. You guys all

86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: know that we don't know where the pick is gonna be.

87
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: But I think we have a pretty good idea based

88
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: on history that the Rams are gonna be really good

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: and the pick is gonna be in the twenties. But

90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: what the pick in two thousand twenty two, So the

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: first rounder they got in two years is viewed as

92
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: give or take, depending on who you talk to, about

93
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of the first rounder this year and

94
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: the pick in three years technically two and a half

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty three is viewed at about seventy percent

96
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: based on the trade value chart. I saw Peter King

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: writing about it. Jimmy Johnson just viewed if it's a

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: first rounder next year, that's basically a second rounder in

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: present value. It's a little more complicated than that, but

100
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: you get my drift. So they are not trading quote

101
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: unquote three first rounders. I mean they're getting three first rounders.

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: But when they're based two years away. That is not

103
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: a hundred percent of the value to me the Lions.

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: They basically here's what I don't understand about this, and

105
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: I've used this. I used this on my other podcast,

106
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: uses tweeting about it and on Instagram and all these places.

107
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm calling this an inside job, and that sounds like

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm diminishing the transaction. I just don't think this transaction

109
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: happens anywhere else because there's not a team that's not

110
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: only gonna take Jared Goff, but take all the money

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: forty five whatever plus million dollars for the next couple

112
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: of years. Because the Rams they got to buy Matt

113
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: Stafford with a credit card, and unlike credit cards that

114
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: me and you pay for, we get churched interest, no

115
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: interest for the ramps they get Matt Stafford, they get

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: to put them on layaway. Meanwhile, the team with the

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: powerful asset, the one that people were lined up to

118
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: get Matt Stafford, paid cash. They don't get anything now,

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: and they're paying cash for Jared Goff. To be completely cannon,

120
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't really understand the trade, and I know people

121
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: like Peter Schreeker, who's locked in say there was a

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: market for Jared Goff. And I don't pretend to know

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: everyone in the league. Hell, I know you know a

124
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: smaller percentage of people in the league, but I know

125
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: people that are in the Super Bowl, people that are

126
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: on teams that need a quarterback. I have a pretty

127
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: good variety of friends on different level of teams. Every

128
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: single person I asked, they go, yeah, Jared Goff has

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: not been good the last couple of years. Below average player.

130
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: One person used just a guy that's not even that's

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: just talking about the player not factoring in the contract.

132
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: Who the hell was gonna take Jared Goff? The Rams

133
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the Lions. And as someone who used

134
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: to work in the league in the money in the

135
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: finance department, right with the cap and stuff, told me,

136
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: and it makes a lot of sense. Salary cap space

137
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: is an asset. The Colts used it forever. You can

138
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: roll it over, So next year or in two years,

139
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: you can roll over space and use that. Maybe you're good.

140
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Maybe then you can do a move where you can

141
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: acquire DeAndre Hopkins and Stefon Diggs, uh Jamal Adams with

142
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: one of your several picks. Cap space is valuable. You

143
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: don't just waste cap space right unless you're taking you

144
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: want a good player. Jared Goff is not a good

145
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: player right now. And the Rams this is the easiest

146
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: deal they're ever gonna do. I mean, it's just they

147
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: got Matt Stafford for first round picks they do not

148
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: care about. But the Lions paid cash when they had

149
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: the most important asset. I also have a hard time

150
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: understanding all first rounders are not equal, right. I remember

151
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: last year when the Buckner trade went down. I think

152
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: it was picked thirteen for DeForest Buckner. By then we

153
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: knew the picks for Khalil Mack. They were both picks

154
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: in the twenties. I think one was twenty four and

155
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the other was twenty uh could be misremembering. And I

156
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: remember someone in the league texting me and said, basically,

157
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: the Niners pick thirteen, given the two picks that the

158
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: Raiders got for Khalil Mack in the first round, were

159
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: borderline equal to each other. Because picks as you start

160
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: getting in the top fifteen, think about this pick eight.

161
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: If the Carolina Panthers offered pick eight, and that's been

162
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: reported by Albert Brier, I think it's true. Props to

163
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: David Tepper and Matt Rule. David Tepper didn't make all

164
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: these billions of dollars. Matt Rule didn't leave a pretty

165
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: good job at Baylor making seven eight million dollars to lose.

166
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: They put they put all their chips in the middle

167
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: of the table said, hey, Detroit, you're ready to roll,

168
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: We'll give you pick eight. I think it's a fair

169
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: assumption unless the disaster happens, which I have a hard

170
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: time seeing because all these sweet players are under contract.

171
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: But the key with the Rams they have a good coach.

172
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: The coach all he does is win. Now, he may

173
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: not win the Super Bowl, and every level one it's

174
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl bust. Is it super Bowl or bust? The

175
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: Rams have been a unbelievable success since Sean McVeigh has

176
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: got there. I think he's forty three and twenty one.

177
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: He has more than double the amount of wins of

178
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: games he's coached. He's won three playoff games. I love

179
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shannon has two playoff wins. Sean McVeigh,

180
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: for example, if you just put him and Kyle Shanahan

181
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: next to each other, one guy has made the playoffs

182
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: three or four years. The other guys made it one

183
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: out of the four years they've both been in the

184
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So if those two canceled out, the other

185
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: guys made Super Bowl or excuse me, made the playoffs

186
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: a munch. Sean mcveigh's big time. He's not gonna lose

187
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: unless just a catastrophe happens. But even I think if

188
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: John Woolford was his quarterback for like eight games, he'd

189
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: find a way to go like three or four wins.

190
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: So when you get offered the eighth pick, if both

191
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: mcveigh's picks are in the mid twenties, and I think

192
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: it's fair to say he's it's been in the mid

193
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: twenties too in the last four years. Stafford is an

194
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: upgrade over Jared Goff, those two picks will not equal

195
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: the eighth pick, let alone, when you factor in the

196
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: future value of those picks that are discounted, one anent

197
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: clip and the other give or take seventy five to

198
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: seventy percent. It's just bad business. It's what I get

199
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: back to the term it was an inside job. There

200
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: was another team that I like would have been beaten

201
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: down the doors for Jared Goff and not forcing the

202
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Rams to eat to any of the money. Yeah, we'll

203
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: take it all. Give us all is guaranteed money the

204
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: Rams got away from paying the guy, like forty four

205
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: more million dollars guaranteed the next couple of years. How's

206
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: that possible? I don't I still don't understand it. Now.

207
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: I applaud the Ramps. They take huge swings. Let's get

208
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: into them. I've seen many people draft, people on Twitter,

209
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: people on ESPN saying it's reckless, saying you can't do this,

210
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Why the hell not? It's literally working. What what do

211
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: you often hear? Like coaches say or business leaders say,

212
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: there are several ways you know to skin a cat, right,

213
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: you're not. We're not that. There are several ways to

214
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: get to your destination in football. Not all teams are

215
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: built the same way. Some teams, you know, draft Tom Brady.

216
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: Some teams like the Saints, signed Drew Brees. There there

217
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: are just several ways to build it. Some teams always

218
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: trade first round picks, some teams horde picks. Every year

219
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: we see different type teams make it to the dance.

220
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: And what the Rams are doing right now is one working.

221
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: They literally with their backup quarterback who got hurt in

222
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: the game, and then we're forced to play a quarterback.

223
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: Clearly they didn't want because they just traded, didn't it

224
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: just beat Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. They kicked his ass. Well, tour,

225
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: I guess A month later their team is now better.

226
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: They have dramatically upgraded and all their good players are

227
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: under contract. Jalen Ramsey Star Aaron Donald arguably the best

228
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: player not named Lawrence Taylor to ever play defense, Cooper Cup,

229
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Robert Woods Ballers, Cam Akers looks like a future stud.

230
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: You put Matt Stafford there with Sean McVeigh, it's gonna work,

231
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: you know what? Reckless? You know what? People keep using

232
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: that term because they never had the balls to do that.

233
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: Now is it gonna work? I don't know, But every

234
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: one of their moves and Sean McVeigh has been there,

235
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, that's crazy. Oh that's dumb. Oh that's crazy.

236
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: All they do is keep winning. All they do is

237
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: keep winning, And it's like, oh, what if they had

238
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: these picks? What do they have these picks? I don't know.

239
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: What if I had hair? What if I was five

240
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: inches taller? I mean, what if I was born in

241
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: China instead of in Davis, California in the mid eighties.

242
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what who cares about these hypotheticals. I

243
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: have evidence what they're doing not only works, it consistently

244
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: gets them in the playoffs. And now two out of

245
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: his four years a head coach, he's won a playoff game.

246
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: His first year there, they hosted a playoff game. You

247
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be better with Matt Stafford. Do

248
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: you think Sean McVeigh gives a ship about first round picks?

249
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. First round and we've learned this

250
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: in the NBA forever, first round picks are not all

251
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: equal picks in the twenties where the Rams cons instantly

252
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: draft or not top five picks, And you go, well,

253
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: what if that happens to Houston. I don't see the

254
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Rams turning into Houston. You know why Bill O'Brien was insane.

255
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh sure doesn't feel insane. The Texans defense was

256
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: god awful. The l A Rams defense been consistently pretty

257
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: damn good since he's been there. Why because they got

258
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: really good players. So another thing I consistently see two

259
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: on social media and the reporters like throwing a pity

260
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: party for Jared goth This is professional sports. You signed

261
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: contracts for a lot of money. Ultimately they can trade you.

262
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: It's the shitty part about the business, right most of

263
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: us in normal people jobs. If you work at an

264
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: insurance company in Los Angeles or you work at an

265
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: accounting firm in Chicago, more than likely one day your

266
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: bosses are gonna knock on your door and say, Bill,

267
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: you've been traded to Tampa Bay for three junior accountants.

268
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. You also, more than likely, you know,

269
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: even if you're a good accountant, make a couple hundred grand.

270
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: You know what, Jared Goff has made eighty million fucking

271
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: dollars in his career. You know what, he's owed the

272
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: next couple of years over fifty million dollars. Seven years

273
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: into his career, he will have made a hundred and

274
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: thirty plus million dollars. He's not any good anymore. He's

275
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: not terrible, but he's definitely not worth that money. You

276
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: know what happens the moment you're not quote unquote worth

277
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: the money the team is paying you, they look to

278
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: get rid of you. It's the nature of pro sports.

279
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: But this pity party for Jared Goff. He's not losing

280
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: his money. He gets to keep it. And you know

281
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: what else he gets to do. He gets to keep

282
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL for another NFL team. In the

283
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: history of football, in the history of sports, it happens

284
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: all the time. You know what's gonna happen moving forward

285
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: for the next fifty a hundred years, It's gonna happen

286
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot more. We gotta stop throwing pity parties when

287
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: guys get traded, and the guy obviously shouldn't get a

288
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: pitty party, should act like he won the lottery. Is

289
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford the guy spent his entire career and probably

290
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: a bottom five NFL franchise they have I think you know,

291
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: one playoff win in the last thirty plus years. They're

292
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: two best players in the history of the franchises. Both

293
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: both retired at thirty years old. I give a lot

294
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: of props to Matt Stafford. Unlike everything that's going on

295
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: with de Sean. I don't blame to Sean, but it's

296
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: just getting out of control. Matt Stafford in a much

297
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: worse organization than to Sean. Sean has been the playoffs

298
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: several times, Matt Stafford in his twelve years, I think

299
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: got there what twice he worked with Dan Campbell. I

300
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: read that they had like an hour conversation last week

301
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: just talking the roster. Stafford was helping him out. Stafford

302
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: the moment the season was over, went to the owner,

303
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: went to the president, just said, hey, guys, I think

304
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: it's time for a divorce. Acted professional. You know what

305
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: they did. They did him a solid, clearly the inside job.

306
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: They sent him to Los Angeles de Sean McVeigh. Now,

307
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: his taxes are gonna go up. Luckily for Matt Stafford,

308
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: we don't have to play the tax game. Why he's

309
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: already made two d and ten million dollars. So yeah,

310
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: his paychecks probably gonna get dinged a little more living

311
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: in California. You know what, He'll finally be able to

312
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: do win some football games, probably win the NFC West,

313
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: depending on what happens is offseason. With the Packers and

314
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Saints quarterback, they have a decent chance,

315
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, to be the number one overall seed.

316
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford hit the lottery, and the reason he hit

317
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the lottery is because of the Rams. Unlike all these

318
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: teams that are like, no, we can't. We can't part

319
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: with the extra two. We can't part with the extra

320
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: cap room. I'm talking good teams. Bad teams should value

321
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: those things, but good teams too often overvalue those things.

322
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: I love my second round pick, and trust me, I

323
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: love the draft as much as the next guy. But

324
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: when it comes to a quarterback, and we talked about

325
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: this for months and weeks and forever, they are dramatically

326
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: more important than these position players, dramatically more important than

327
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, than Khalil mac than Jalen Ramsey, and those

328
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: players are fucking awesome. Excuse my language. If your child

329
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: is in the car, don't use that around your parents.

330
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: That the quarterback matters infinitely more. And someone texts me today,

331
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: dude in football just knows his stuff, and he's like,

332
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: is Jared Goff really that much worse than Matt Stafford? Yeah?

333
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean Mat Stafford is dramatically more talented than Jared

334
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: Goff And I love this. Well, what about the stats?

335
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: What about this? What about that Matt Stafford just spent

336
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: the last however many years playing for Matt Patricia. I

337
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: couldn't pay enough if I if I had the money

338
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: and I said to just a random owner, I'll give

339
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: you hundreds of millions of dollars to hire Matt Patricia.

340
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: There is no chance on God's green earth, Matt Patricia

341
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: is not hirable. Again, no one would hire him to

342
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: be his defensive to be an NFL defensive coordinator, he

343
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: had to go crawling back to Belichick to now be

344
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: his special project advisor. They just made up a role

345
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: for Why can Belichick do that? Because Patricia is still

346
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: getting paid by the Lions, so the Belichick and the

347
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: Patriots don't have to pay him anything. No one there

348
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: were seven NFL openings, no one even thought about hiring

349
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia to be their defensive coordinator, let alone their

350
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: head coach. Now Stafford goes to Sean McVeigh. If we

351
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: had a coaching draft, everyone was just a free agent.

352
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Where with John mcveigho top five, right Belichick, Andy, I

353
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: mean he'd be right in the mix to go three

354
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: four five. That's where he gets to go. Now with

355
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: an offensive scheme that works with players that work, with

356
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: a culture that wins, and the Rams don't. I mean

357
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: they hadn't been faking it, but they get rid of

358
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: Jared Goff who they believe to their core was the

359
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: reason they weren't winning, And I think gets fair to

360
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: say that might be true. I look back at the

361
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: stats in the Super Bowl. They didn't get blown out

362
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. They lost thirteen to three, the

363
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: lowest scoring super Bowl in the history of the NFL.

364
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: If they had just scored fourteen points, I bet if

365
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: we did a study, if you score fourteen points in

366
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, you would lose every single one in

367
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: the history of the Super Bowl. Yet if they had

368
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: scored fourteen points, they would have won against Belichick and

369
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: Brady Golf completed nineteen balls, they scored three points. How

370
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: does Sean McVeigh ever get over that? From what I hear,

371
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's public knowledge. He gets the office like

372
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: four thirty five am. You think he wants to work

373
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: that hard for a quarterback that's constantly skipping balls to

374
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: guy's wide open. Of course not. Is Matt Stafford gonna

375
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: do some reckless things and have some hero ball syndrome,

376
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: probably because he probably has twelve years of bad habits.

377
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: Some of them is gonna have to shake out. But

378
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: he has the talent. When Robert Woodard Cooper up is

379
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: be lined it across the field on one of those

380
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: deep crossing routes or a deep go route, and the

381
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: guy's open. He ain't gonna miss it. Jared Goff won't

382
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: even pull the trigger. So props of Rams for one,

383
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: just knowing the GM of the Lions for somewhat fleecing

384
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: them and getting them a massive upgraded quarterback. Well part

385
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: of this whole trade. I'm a little thrown off because

386
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: there is a timeline to football. There is a timeline,

387
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: maybe different than most industries, but maybe not. Uh. I'm

388
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: trying to think like my accountant works on the same

389
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: timeline every year. I think last year got pushed back

390
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: a little bit because of Corona, right, they pushed the

391
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: tax day back. But for the most part, depending on

392
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: what business you work for, every month or every quarter

393
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: has several check marks. And in football, this type Matt

394
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: staff for situation would have come to fruition or taken

395
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: place at the combine, not before the Super Bowl, but

396
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: because the combine doesn't exist, because it's kind of a

397
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: free for all right now, in terms of no one's

398
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna see each other, I guess they did see each

399
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: other at the Senior Bowl and the Domino started following

400
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: that this period of time in any team that didn't

401
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: lay in Matt Stafford, whether it's the Colts, whether it's Washington,

402
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: whether it's the Niners, whoever that you know, think to

403
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: themselves they need a quarterback. I think most of you fans,

404
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of one of those teams, you're

405
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: freaking out right now. It's February one. Free agency doesn't

406
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: start until the middle of March, so we need to

407
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit. And I'm guilty because

408
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, Mass Stafford, when's the next Domino. We

409
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: haven't even played the Super Bowl. But I do think

410
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: the timeline this year in the business of football is

411
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: thrown off dramatically because there is no there's no Indianapolis,

412
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: there's not that. You know. That's the equivalent of, you know,

413
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: it's the NFL's convention when business gets done for agency,

414
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: for definitely for trades, and it feels like we're often

415
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: running so with Matt Stafford probably being the biggest domino

416
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: because he's in his early thirties, I think he's viewed

417
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: at with a huge ceiling, more talented than like Matt

418
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Kirk Cousins Jimmy Garoppolo, whoever is off the board.

419
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: So let's look at some of the teams who were

420
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: in the mix. What do they do now? The Panthers,

421
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 1: they have an owner with huge cast. They have an

422
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: owner that clearly wants to operate like a big wig.

423
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: They want to throw their hat in the ring. They

424
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: just offered the eighth pick, which, back to what I

425
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: said a little earlier, seems a little reckless by the

426
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: Lions not taking that pick. You know, what you can

427
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: do with the eighth pick is moved back for several

428
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: first rounders. You could probably trade back to like twenty

429
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: and get a twenty and a first rounder next year.

430
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: But if I wanted to play Devil's advocate, this year

431
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 1: probably the hardest year to scout ever, because your scouts

432
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: haven't been allowed to go to school. All these kids

433
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: played a small amount of games. Some guys opted out,

434
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: other guys played limited amount. You know, some teams weren't

435
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: able to practice on weeks they played. So it's a

436
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: little weird. If you wanted to give me that excuse

437
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: for the Lions, I would hear you. I doubt they

438
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: used that one, though, but I appreciate the Panthers. I

439
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: like David Tepper, I liked I. I watched a little

440
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: bit of the Senior Bowl. I don't pretend to, I

441
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: mean talking like the practice during the week. I watched

442
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: none of the game. But I like Matt rule like,

443
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: I like what he's got going on. They got Joe Brady.

444
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: They wanted to throw their hat in the ring, and

445
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: they want to make the playoffs next year. Why wouldn't they?

446
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: This is the National Football League, This isn't the NBA.

447
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to keep your fingers crossed and hope

448
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: for like a Lebron James to win. If you get

449
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford Boom, they could win nine games. They be

450
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: in the dance hell. It only took eight wins to

451
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs this year in the NFC. If

452
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: Matt rules worthy of his you know, nine million dollar

453
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: a year contract, get him a quarterback. They got some weapons,

454
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, They got Joe Brady, improve the defense a

455
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: little bit. Boom saying, so to have a quarterback Brady's old.

456
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: They could fall off a cliff at any moment, and

457
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: the Falcons have a new coach. I guess Brady's not

458
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: gonna fall off a cliff at any moment. But he

459
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: is old. So I like what they're doing. Now what

460
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: do they do now? I think they can slow play it.

461
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: Think about drafting a quarterback. But as Chris Ballard said,

462
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: you don't just draft a quarterback to be like, oh, look, fans,

463
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: we drafted a quarterback. I think the same thing with relationships, Like, guys,

464
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm married. Now, do you like her? Not really? But

465
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: society said I needed to get married and have a child,

466
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: so you can't stand heard. Yeah, I don't really like

467
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: her at all. I think sometimes that happens with quarterbacks.

468
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: How do people you know that are married, that are miserable,

469
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: How do people draft quarterbacks like, yeah, we kind of

470
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: like them, but we needed a quarterback. Don't do that.

471
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: Draft guys you love right Mahomes DeShawn Watson. When the

472
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: Seattle did it with Russell Wilson, you feel better about

473
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: It's easier to build around that guy because you're all in.

474
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times you know, and it

475
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: doesn't always work. I mean, Ryan Pace love Mr Whisky.

476
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: That failed, but at least he had some conviction. I

477
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: think sometimes quarterbacks guys forced themselves to draft a quarterback

478
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: and it doesn't always work. So if the Panthers wouldn't

479
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: shock him if they roll back with Teddy Bridgewater. He

480
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: has a seven year contract. Keep building and just wait

481
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: for your moment to land your Matt Stafford or a

482
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: quarterback you fall in love with. But I don't think

483
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: they're a lock because I would. I would imagine because

484
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: they were so terrible this year. They've done massive studies

485
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: on the rookie quarterbacks and they probably thought none of

486
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: the guys that would be around when they're drafting. Hold

487
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: a candle to Stafford. I would agree. The Washington football team,

488
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera just beat cancer. You think he wants to

489
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: wait for a young quarterback to develop. Plus he's not

490
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: an offensive guy. The one quarterback he nailed was the

491
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: number one overall pick, and Cam Newton. They just made

492
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're not drafting that high, so I liked

493
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: them being all over Matt Stafford. Matt Stafford was on Washington,

494
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: I think they would probably be a actually picked and

495
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: win that division. What do they do now? I think

496
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: they should sniff around Jamis. I think they should sniff

497
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: around if Matt Ryan's available, I think they'll be sniffing

498
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: around on all these veteran quarterbacks. Trade for Marcus Mariota,

499
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: get a veteran quarterback in there. The forty Niners in

500
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: a little bit of a weird spot. Like you know,

501
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate it was hard right for all the reports.

502
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know this for certain, but I'll take

503
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: Brewer at his word. I know he's locked in that.

504
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: They did not make a concrete offer of pick twelve.

505
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: Unlike the Panthers, the Niners really value that being drafting

506
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: that high. To me, if the Niners had picked thirty one,

507
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: they would have easily offered him for Matt Stafford. But

508
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: pick twelve is very, very valuable, and are there gonna

509
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: be guys that are undervalued in this draft? Kyle Shanahan

510
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: probably makes between nine and eleven million dollars. He's in

511
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: year one of a six year extension. If I'm Jed

512
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: York Kyle, I'd say, Kyle, I pay you all this

513
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: money because I think you're an offensive savant. Draft a quarterback,

514
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: a guy you feel comfortable with and build the thing

515
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: around him. He's a cost controlled asset. We just saw

516
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: it when a veteran guy when he gets hurt in

517
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: his contract and Jimmy Garoppolo, it doesn't work. Go draft

518
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: a guy and we're we're at twelve. It's not crazy.

519
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: Go from twelve to seven because the Lions clearly don't

520
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: need a quarterback and are building for like five years

521
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: from now. So get to seven, maybe Justin Fields falls

522
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: and you'd be like middle Coff. You watch Justin Fields.

523
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: He's pretty raw. He needs to work. Didn't they say

524
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: the same thing about Josh Allen. Coach a up, make

525
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: up a player. That's what you get paid all this

526
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: money for to coach, right, Everyone said Patrick Mahomes raw,

527
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's doing. He's reckless. What happened? Andy

528
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: Reid got his hands on him. What's going on now?

529
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs are in them back to back Super Bowls. I'm

530
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: not saying that the guy they'd app is gonna be

531
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, but my point is you gotta have some

532
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: conviction as a coach with a young guy. It gives

533
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: you a lot of wiggle room. I would also kind

534
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: of look to pivot away from the Rams. The Rams

535
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be very top heavy. If I'm the Niners,

536
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: I want to get a cheaper quarterback so I can

537
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: build a more depth on my roster, and that's my

538
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: point of difference against them, because they're gonna have better

539
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: players they just do. Seattle is kind of in the

540
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: middle of that, but they have a star quarterback too,

541
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: So in in the Cardinals like, I'm sorry, as long

542
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: as Kingsbury is the coach, they're They're not a playoff team.

543
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: So I would imagine the Niners um draft a quarterback

544
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: and then depending on Jimmy and the Patriots situation, maybe

545
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: trade Jimmy on draft Day. I also think Matt Ryan

546
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: for this other team too, is kind of kind of

547
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: out there. You know. Arthur Smith is new to the Falcons.

548
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: He had a lot of success these last couple of

549
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: years with Ryan Tannehill. One thing Ryan Tannehill has that

550
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan one million percent does not have is athletic ability.

551
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: He can run and they can run just their running scheme.

552
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: He can keep it and move around. To me, it

553
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to draft one of these

554
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks in Arthur Smith's offense, trade Matt Ryan. Here's

555
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: the problem. If I'm the Colts, I go I just

556
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: want eleven games and really went toe to toe with

557
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: the Bills with Philip Rivers, who was on his last leg.

558
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: If I had Philip Rivers at thirty six and could

559
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: have had him for four years with the team that

560
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: I have around, I would have been consistently in the

561
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: playoffs every year. Is it crazy to think if you're

562
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: the Colts? Because if I'm the Niners, I can't trade

563
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: my number twelve from Matt Ryan. I'd like to trade

564
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: like a third round pick. But then I start thinking,

565
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: why wouldn't the Colts just trade their first round pick

566
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: for Matt Ryan? And I think the way you'd have

567
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: to do it is like post June one for cap implications,

568
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: Little cap nerdy, But it's what my my people in

569
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: the loop have told me. But if you're the Colts,

570
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: you get a first round pick trade from Matt Ryan

571
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: straight up helps the the uh the Falcons rebuild, and

572
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got Matt Ryan and you're

573
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a double digit win team. Now, can you

574
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl? Probably not? But you're not gonna

575
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback in the twenties, a guy good enough

576
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: unless you're willing to go up. But that means you're

577
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: gonna be willing to probably sacrifice several first round picks.

578
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan could keep in the loop right now. So

579
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine Matt Ryan would be in the mix

580
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: if he's available, and I think it makes some sense

581
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: to make him available if you are the Falcons, the

582
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: Niners and Colts have to be sniffed around, and then

583
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: the Bears, I'm not exactly sure what they do, uh,

584
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: because they're drafting too late to draft one of these

585
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks unless they trade up to get a guy, but

586
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: then the pressure on a rookie seems pretty crazy. They

587
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: could trade for a guy like Marcus Mariotta, who I

588
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: think makes about ten million dollars for the Raiders, because

589
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense for the Raiders now with Derek

590
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: Carr plan this well, they have a backup quarterback making

591
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. Can your defense be get back to

592
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: what it was a couple of years ago in Mariota,

593
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: who actually, in just the one game that he had

594
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: to play when Derek got hurt I think was Thursday

595
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: Night Football against the Charges, looked really good. That would

596
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: should be a huge upgrade over Trabiski. Could you win

597
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: eight nine games with Mariota and just kind of save

598
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: your jobs because I don't see many other options. Are

599
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: they gonna sign Jamis Winston? Can't see Matt Ryan. That

600
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: doesn't make much sense in that offense. The Vikings cousins,

601
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't really think is available, but they would never

602
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: trade him with the Bears, so Mariota might be their

603
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: only option beside drafting a guy in like the second round.

604
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: So as you see, like you do realize why Matt

605
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: Stafford was kind of a big deal because all these

606
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: teams that made the playoffs and are drafting past like twenty,

607
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to get up in the single digits to

608
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: get a quarterback. One two, you might not love any

609
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: of those guys, and three like you're kind of a

610
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: Noman's land. And the Colts Rivers retired and Jacoby is

611
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: a free agent. Say one thing that the Niners do

612
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: just have Jimmy. Now, I don't find Jimmy that valuable.

613
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: He never stays healthy. The Bears have nothing, Washington has nothing.

614
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: The Panthers do have Teddy Bridgewater. But as we saw

615
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: last year, like Teddy Bridgewater is a great guy, high character,

616
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: awful what happened to his leg, He's just not that good.

617
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: He's a good backup if he's your starter and you're

618
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: paying him twenty million. You're gonna lose, and you're gonna

619
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: draft eight. So I think these teams like they're gonna

620
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: have This is why they get paid. They have to

621
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: figure this out. I do not envy their situation, though,

622
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: because it won't be easy. Okay, let's go rapid fire.

623
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Just some stories over the last three or four days

624
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: I saw that are kind of interesting. Some one's kind

625
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: of funny. Actually, the Los Angeles Rams before they got

626
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. Turns out Sean McVeigh I follow his fiance

627
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: on Instagram. You know, they were just in Cabo. It

628
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: turns out Matt Stafford was in Cabo too. They went

629
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: out to dinner, him and Matt Stafford's wife and his

630
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: fiance and drinking and having a good time. But before

631
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: that happened in the trade became official, they had reached

632
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: out to the Green Bay Packers. It's like less neat,

633
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: I get your buddies now working in Detroit. No, the

634
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers do not want Jared Goff and the

635
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers sure as hell are not gonna trade

636
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: you Aaron Rodgers when you have no picks. I mean,

637
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: I give him credit for try it and be like me,

638
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, d M and right now Cindy Crawford, j

639
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: Lo and Jennifer Andison see what they're doing this week.

640
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: But come on, like, let's let's let's just keep your

641
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: eye on the prize of someone you can get. The

642
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Packers don't want Jared Goff and they definitely aren't trading

643
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: you Aaron Rodgers and Brian Gutikins. He claimed, like, absolutely not,

644
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: We're not trading Jared or I mean not Jared Goff.

645
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I guess. He gave a talk today to

646
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: the Green Bay media and a lot of people I saw,

647
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: like people that cover the Packers or fans on social media,

648
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: We're like, see, this story came out of nowhere. The

649
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: Packers did not create the story. It didn't start with

650
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: the coach. It definitely did start with the GM that

651
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: they would be interested in trading for Rogers. The story

652
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: was Aaron Rodgers saying that like who knows where all be? Who?

653
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: You know? My time? You never know? Life is funny.

654
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: You just see where I end up? You know, Uh,

655
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: this this this business is crazy. He said that, so we,

656
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: meaning people like me, started going God, is he gonna

657
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: ask out. I No one thought like, oh, yeah, the

658
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: Packers are gonna get rid of Aaron Rodgers after he

659
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: won the m v P for Jordan's Love. A guy

660
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: that couldn't be that guy named Tim Boyle because he's

661
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: skipped balls in training camp, because he can't even complete

662
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: you know, a basic fifteen yard out round. No one

663
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: believed that the front office was going to try to

664
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: do that. We just questioned whether Aaron Rodgers wanted to

665
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: stay and whether he was happy with the situation. So

666
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: Guda Kins coming out and everyone being like, see, no intention. Yeah,

667
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: they never said that. I mean they kind of did

668
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: when they drafted Jordan's Love and then it turns out

669
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love might not be that good. Even though I

670
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: saw Guda Kins was like, listen, developmental project and he's

671
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: not lying there. But you Aaron Rodgers was not gonna

672
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: get traded unless he forced their hand, and it doesn't

673
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: seem like he's gonna do that. Video went viral of

674
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: him driving around and like a look like a two

675
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: thousand seven or eight GMC truck with bud light. You know,

676
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more of a corps like guy myself, but

677
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, the beer's free you drink whatever. The Eagles,

678
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni. It was a tough watch. Uh, it really was.

679
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: Now do I think this guy is a bad coach?

680
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him, and I've heard pretty

681
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: good things actually, but as press conference did have some

682
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Jim Tom Sulla vibes. It really did. Now, I've been

683
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: talking for a living for you know, about seven years,

684
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: and when I first started talking, I remember I'd go

685
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: on a podcast and I listened back to it and

686
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: be like, how did I sound? This was like seven

687
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm talking podcast no one even listened to

688
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: or radio interview, like what did it sound like? I

689
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: was really nervous, and he just become comfortable doing something

690
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: right over time. You're allowed to be nervous if you're

691
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: not used to public speaking, and that that could speak

692
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: for someone in like a college class. Anyone that's taken

693
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: public speaking in college knows. First time you get up,

694
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: especially if you're class like fifty people, you don't know

695
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: any of them. There's a couple of babes in there,

696
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: your heart kind of gets pumping and maybe you fall

697
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: on some words. Right though, as a football coach, I

698
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: would say the number one thing you have to be

699
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: able to do is communicate, and he communicated very, very poorly.

700
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: Now he was nervous, he was jittery. It's okay, Like

701
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say the guy is gonna suck because

702
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: he had a terrible first press conference. But he had

703
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: a terrible first press conference. If he can coach, if

704
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: he can fix Carson Wentz, no one will care. Here's

705
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: the one issue. Jim tom Seula had a terrible first

706
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: press conference with the forty niners. It's um it's a viral,

707
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: legendary NFL moment, you know, for like the bloopers. Remember

708
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: if you're if you're my age or older, the NFL

709
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: used to do these bloopers. Remember growing up, we we

710
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: had a bunch of tape cassettes. I mean people in

711
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: the twenties, Like, what's the vhs? We have these vhs

712
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: is like bloopers from the seventies, bloopers from the eighties.

713
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: Jim tom Seul was an all time blooper. His press conference,

714
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: it was an utter train wreck. But the reason Jim

715
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: tom Seula was such a joke. Now that set the

716
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: first impression for the rest of the year. But was

717
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: he was a terrible coach. He had games, we didn't

718
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: know how many time outs he had. His team was unprepared,

719
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: his coaching staff was awful. It was a debacle. But

720
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: the media after that kind of went easy on him.

721
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of easy out here on the West Coast.

722
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's not Philadelphia, it's not New York,

723
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: it's not Boston. Philadelphia is insane. They're gonna come after

724
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: this guy left and right, not because of a bad

725
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: first press conference. That's the way the team's covered the

726
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: bow and arrows. I mean, you're getting shot at every

727
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: single press conference with questions that you might have nothing

728
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: to do for. So the nature of the beast in

729
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: that market, it's really really hard, and if you're nervous

730
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: as a public speaker, it's gonna make it really difficult.

731
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: But if you're a good coach, none of it will matter.

732
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: Now it helps like Doug Peterson or Andy Reid or

733
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: even Chip Kelly, they can just handle themselves in a

734
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: press conference. This guy is gonna have to learn really fast,

735
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: as crazy as it sounds. He might need to take

736
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: like some classes or work with the PR guy to

737
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: get a little more comfortable in that environment. It will

738
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: make his job easier because his job is already really difficult.

739
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: He has a major, major quarterback problem, right He's gotta

740
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: fixed wins. He's got Jalen Hurts, so they're gonna trade him,

741
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: are you gonna keep them both? Whatever, he's gonna win

742
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: his locker room back because there's fractions right now. Clearly

743
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: it's difficult. I'm not even counting whether you can have

744
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: a press conference. But if his press conference are gonna

745
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: go like that, and if he's struggling a little bit

746
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: to start off with, which isn't inconceivable, I don't know

747
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: how good their team is gonna be, and they might,

748
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, kind of reset could get ugly for the guy.

749
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: So you just he's gonna have to make a conscious

750
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: effort to improve at the president conferences. Tom Brady that

751
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: he was asked today does he plan to play past?

752
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: And remember, like three or four years ago, whenever he

753
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: made that statement, I think most of us thought that's

754
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: pretty nuts. Like Tom, come on, Tom, like we've all

755
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: been watching sports long enough. You're already you know, pushing

756
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: the envelope here. You've already kind of got to the

757
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: summit of Mount Everest. You pushed the envelope as far

758
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: as it can go. Just your your career is gonna

759
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: be over. Now he's forty three years old, He's in

760
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: the super Bowl against Mahomes. What if he wins this thing?

761
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: His arm still looks good, his team is good. Why

762
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: would he quit? Why would he retire? Why wouldn't Tampa

763
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: just keep signing him to one year deals. I actually

764
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: think there's a pretty good chance Tom Brady, he's definitely

765
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: playing next year. Could keep just keep doing one year deals?

766
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: Could he play No? Fifty? I don't. I don't think

767
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: it's inconceivable. You would think eventually someone breaks his foot,

768
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: breaks his hand, he just would get hurt. I mean

769
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: I I get injured going on a jog. Think how

770
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: often you do things in life as you get If

771
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: you're in your third late thirties, if you're listening in

772
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: your early forties, like you play golf for the first

773
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: time of the year, You're like, God, my back is sore. Eventually,

774
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: you would think, I don't care how great his TV

775
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: twelve diet is. I don't care how discipline he is.

776
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Father time, if it truly is undefeated, it's gonna take

777
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: him down sooner or later. But until it does, He's

778
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: gonna keep on going. Oh the other thing, I saw

779
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: that the Rams and the Packers need a defensive coordinator

780
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 1: and one name that's out there, and I've been asked

781
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: about this name before. I don't know. If you do it,

782
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: all these teams in the league would hire Jim Leonard yesterday.

783
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: He played in the NFL for a while at safety.

784
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan loved him. He's a defensive he was a

785
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: smart player. And now he's been the defensive coordinator at

786
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: Wisconsin for a while. In the Wisconsin's defenses are awesome

787
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: and they're not exactly rolling out. You know Chase Young

788
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: and you know Patrick certain and all these sweet defensive

789
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: players in Alabama, Clemson, in Ohio State. He's actually doing

790
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: it kind of getting guys overachieved because he's just a really,

791
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: really good coach. If I was Sean McVeigh, if I

792
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: was Matt Lafleur, I would be all over Jim Leonard.

793
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: I would ask my owner. Well, first I'd ask Jim.

794
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: I'd say, Jim, what would it cost you to be

795
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: my defensive coordinator? And maybe he say no. But if

796
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: I say Jim, what is your number? As they say,

797
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: they make me what is an offer that you can't refuse, right,

798
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: he could say, make me the offer that I can't refuse.

799
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, And I would convince

800
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: my owner to pay him that much money because I

801
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: think he would be an excellent defensive coordinat I think

802
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: being head coach in the NFL relatively fast. Okay, let's

803
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: go a little Middlecoff Bail bay at John Middlecoff as

804
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: the Instagram handle, fire up in those d m s,

805
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: and we will answer your question right here. Let's start

806
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: with Ryan who usually I go into new d ms,

807
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: but if you're at the top of the heap and

808
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: I see that question for the pot I was answered.

809
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: Is there another layer to why the Los Angeles Rams

810
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: soured on goth Seemed like they liked and adamantly defended

811
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: him up until the month or so and cut bait fast.

812
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: Were they just being professional or did Jared rub coaches

813
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: teammates the wrong way? Some inside sources that I've heard

814
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't anything like he's not a bad guy.

815
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: People like him. I just don't think he was the

816
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: hardest worker. And mcveighs a guy that's getting there at

817
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: four thirty five in the morning. He from what I've heard,

818
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: he's one of the hardest working guys in the league.

819
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: In the league is full of grinders. I mean the andyes,

820
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: the Belichicks. It's a grinder league. And McVeigh because I

821
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: think he's young, he's like good looking, he's the hair done,

822
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's you know, he's just I

823
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: don't think he gets that, like people don't view him

824
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: like that. And he is. He's getting up at the

825
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: butt crack of dawn to go to work, and he's

826
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: investing all this time to dial up all these plays,

827
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: and God just wasn't good enough and God was killing him.

828
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: And I actually think my theory a little bit goes

829
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl. They lose thirteen to three.

830
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: He has nineteen completions and they lose, and then the

831
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: next two years he's not very good. And I think

832
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: every game that goes by, mcveigh's thinking to himself, why

833
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: am I working this hard for this guy that keeps

834
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: screwing up my offense? And eventually he just drew a

835
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: line in the sand. He couldn't take it anymore. You're

836
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: paying him all this money. You have a star player

837
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: in Aaron Donald that I was told is the hardest

838
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: worker you'll ever see, you know, I think when you

839
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: see a guy dominating on the field, we just assume

840
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: God given gifts and power. I've heard his weight room,

841
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: his practice habits are just elite, and I don't think

842
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: golf was like that. And one thing I also heard

843
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: is I don't think golf lost the locker room, but

844
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't think the locker room treated golf like he

845
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: was there. Dude, dude. They like the other guy, Walford.

846
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: It's why they didn't hesitate to make Walford the starter.

847
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: So I I just think it was for football reasons

848
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,479
Speaker 1: and they did get a little lucky that some team

849
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: wanted him. Though, If Brady wins the Super Bowl over Mahomes,

850
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: what would Mahomes have to do in order to surpass Brady?

851
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: As they go, there's nothing you can do. If Brady

852
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: beats him, Brady is gonna have seven ten appearances. How

853
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: does Mahomes ever get to seven championships? I just if

854
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: Brady wins, it's already probably set in stone, Like I mean,

855
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes would have to attempt to pass him. But if

856
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: Brady wins this, what are we even talking about Michael

857
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: Jordan's Tiger. You name it move over like Tom's going

858
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: to the top top of the fountain. Uh. I love

859
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: the pot. Here's a male bad question for you, if

860
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: you're up for it. I am Angelo. I'm a Rams fan,

861
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: so I'm pumped about the addition to Stafford, regardless of

862
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: the picks we had to give up. Late first rounders

863
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: are overrated. Completely agree and that we found a way

864
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: to dump Golf in his contract. I've had a bunch

865
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: of folks criticize my optimism about the move, saying that

866
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: I shouldn't expect Brady to the Bucks level impact. I

867
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: don't think it's at that level, but it reminds me

868
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Carson Palmer wound up with the Cardinals

869
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: quarterback nearing the end of his prime, teaming up with

870
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: the lead offensive mine a head coach. Do you think

871
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: that's a good comparison? And do you think that the

872
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: Rams will have more less or the same amount of

873
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: success that the Cards did with Carson? Funny you bring

874
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: him up. I texted him last week and see if

875
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: he wanted to come on. He that reminds me, said

876
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: text me this week, so I'll see if I can

877
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: get Carson on for the end of the week, I

878
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: will ask him that question. I think that's a pretty

879
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: good comparison. You know, big physical, big arm quarterback that

880
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: had spent. Now, Carson had had more success, he had

881
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: won a little bit in Cincinnatiuh, the Raiders, I don't

882
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: even put against him. So he had moved teams. But yeah,

883
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 1: I like some of the parallels came to Arians. I'd

884
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: say the difference is when Carson got traded the Cardinals.

885
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: The Cardinals were kind of a joke. Then they got Carson.

886
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: They drafted the honey Badger, Patrick Peterson, you know, they

887
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: draft David Johnson, they get you know, Klais Campbell's there.

888
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: They just boom boom. They started nailing all these picks

889
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: and moves, and all of a sudden they were sweet

890
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: in a division remember that had l Ob and the

891
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: Harbont Niners, and they were like, damn, the Rams are

892
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: already good. Like Carson was a huge part of changing

893
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: the culture. The Rams don't need that. The Rams just

894
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: needs Stafford to come in and be what he's you know,

895
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: just be solid player, just be like a fringe Pro

896
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: Bowl guy. The Cardinals needed Palmer to come in and

897
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: be elite, and he was. I think the Cardinals needed

898
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: more at a Palmer than the Rams need out of Stafford,

899
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. But I'm with you. If

900
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm a Rams fan, I'm hella happy. I am jumping

901
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: for joy. I don't care at all about those late

902
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 1: first round picks because I just look at it like this,

903
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: we got rid of Jared Goff from Matt Stafford. There

904
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: was not a team in the National Football League beside

905
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: the Lions they would do that, swamp, not one. Why

906
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: would the Rams trash Golf so much if they thought

907
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: they might deal him. Seems like the the impression they

908
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: gave of him lowered his value in trade talks, right.

909
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: I think some of that's overrated. His contract is what

910
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: it is. His tape speaks for itself. Unless they're saying

911
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: that he's, you know, like a malcontent and a bad guy,

912
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: they're just saying he's not good enough. And this also

913
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: gets back to my theory of the inside job. I

914
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: don't think it mattered what they were gonna say because

915
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: they knew they had a pretty good chance with their

916
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: dude that's the new Detroit GM to land them. And

917
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: maybe he had told him, or maybe they knew he

918
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: likes to like Goff and then he calls lessonied and

919
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: tells him Dan Campbell likes Goff. I'm telling you, if

920
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: you had to use two words to describe this trade

921
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: lines of the Rams, it's inside job. That's that. You

922
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: can't convince me otherwise because they You're right, it's very reckless.

923
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: The forty Niners would trade Jimmy Garoppolo yesterday. Yet when

924
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: you google what Kyle Shanahan John Lynch have said about

925
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: him and then have leaked about him, you'd think they're

926
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: talking about like Philip Rivers. It's like, damn, I didn't

927
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: know Shaun Watson was the quarterback of the Niners. No,

928
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: it's Jimmy Garoppolo. But they speak so highly of the

929
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: guy that they want to hype up his trade value, which,

930
00:49:54,200 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: let's face it, kind of stupid. You think Belichick's ever like, hey, hey, Billy,

931
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: get me the Twitter print out of what the coaches

932
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: and the media are saying about Jimmy Garoppolo, right, Or

933
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: like what has Pete Carroll been saying about Russell Wilson?

934
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: Like most coaches like they don't even care. They just

935
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: watched the tape and they look at a contract unless

936
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: it's something really bad, but like, no one holds it

937
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: against it. Like did you remember when Sean Payton said

938
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: that Taysom Hill miss that third down when when they

939
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: were in cover two and he had the guy over

940
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: the middle and John Payton said he should have seen

941
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: the flat defender and he threw the pick. Like, no

942
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: one's paying attention to any of that. So yeah, I

943
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 1: think some of that's overrated. If Jimmy goes to the

944
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: Bears and makes the playoffs and things don't work out

945
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: with Stafford in San Francisco, this feels like an old

946
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: fireball offense. Every night. Are fans so desperate to to

947
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: ditch Jimmy, but it seems that the stakes and the

948
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: pressure would automatically ratchet up, especially if Jimmy good elsewhere. Well,

949
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: here's the thing, if whoever, the if, the if the

950
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: Niners trade Jimmy, they will be judged on jimmy success.

951
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: So how well is Jimmy playing and how well their

952
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: guy is playing? Right, But the key will be their

953
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: guy if they're having success and they're winning double digit

954
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: games in the playoffs, unless Jimmy Garoppolo is like fifteen

955
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: and one on the Patriots. Who cares? If Jimmy is

956
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: just solid, that's fine. If the Niners end up with

957
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: Mattie Ice or Trey Lance or whatever and they're winning games,

958
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: no one will really care about what Jimmy's doing. But

959
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: you're right. If they trade Jimmy, let's say, to the Bears,

960
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: and they somehow end up with Kirk Cousins, that makes

961
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: me want to puke in my mouth. And the Niners

962
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: go seven and nine with Kirk Cousins and the Bears

963
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: make the playoffs at nine and seven, it is a

964
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: disaster for sure. That's part of the game here. Like

965
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: what if the Lions are good with Jared Goth and

966
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: the Rams aren't with Stafford, which I don't see conceivably

967
00:51:55,239 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: as possible. How are the Chiefs able to afford Kelsey

968
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: Hill Honey Badger? Since Mahomes received the massive contract, we'll see.

969
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: The thing with Mahomes is that he did his contract

970
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: was not up. Patrick mahomeside a contract extension. So like

971
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: when you hear about Jared Goff's big contract, it just

972
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: kicks in next year. Stame with Carson Wentz because these

973
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: guys get their fifth year option picked up and they

974
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: signed these contracts after three years. So when Mahomes signs

975
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: the ten year contract, it's actually, as they said, a

976
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: twelve year contract because it's a ten year extension to

977
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: his five year deal and he had two years left.

978
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: So if I pull up Patrick Mahomes contract right now,

979
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: this year they paid Patrick Mahomes ten million dollars. Get

980
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: something in my throat, maybe got the rhna that the

981
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs paid a ten million dollars. Next year, Mahomes

982
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: makes two million dollars with a capit. His capits are

983
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, the next they're kind of nuts. His

984
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: capits don't get crazy till the next several years, and

985
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: they get pretty outrageous. In two thousand seven, mahomes capit

986
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 1: is sixty million dollars. Ye Hill restructure, so they're good.

987
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: Mom is gonna make a lot of money reading this.

988
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: If Mahomes were to play out his contract and never restructure,

989
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: never change, I think we I mean, we already know this,

990
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: but it's just let me read this out loud. In

991
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,959
Speaker 1: two thousand thirty one, Mahomes will be thirty six years

992
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: old and he will have made four hundred and seventy

993
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: seven million dollars. Can you imagine that if you're Ma Homes,

994
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: I would just go home. I'd pull up spot track

995
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: and I'd go You know, if I had just played

996
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: this thing out, I'm gonna make four D seventy seven million.

997
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: You're like, well, Patrick, what if you're not playing l

998
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: and you only make a bill thirty three? You're like, well,

999
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: I'd make three nine million. I mean, Patrick Mahomes has

1000
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: the world by the balls, making a ton of money,

1001
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: kicking everyone's ass on the best team in the league. Uh,

1002
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: he's got a good thing going right now. A lot

1003
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: of cashola for Mahomes or, as they say on the

1004
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: State Farm commercials, mahomies huge fan of three and our podcast.

1005
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: I don't need to read that always, but sometimes I'm

1006
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: just reading the text, so I'm not trying to boost

1007
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: myself up here. Big time Minnesota Vikings fan in Minnesota,

1008
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: people want Zimmer out bad. I personally disagree with that.

1009
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: We lost our three best defensive players bar Kendricks and Hunter,

1010
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: also lost our best free agent, Michael Pierce to COVID

1011
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: opt out, and with our young secondary, we weren't going

1012
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: to be that good this year. Kind of surprising. We

1013
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: finished seven and nine. What do you think about the

1014
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: Vikings for next year as a dark horse team to

1015
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: win the NFC? Also, what do you think about the

1016
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 1: Vikings doing in the draft. I personally like a couple

1017
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: of these guys. I don't even know who they are.

1018
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: What do you think about offensive line help? A couple

1019
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: of other things I'd like your opinion on. Okay, let's

1020
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: just start with the Vikings. I would keep Kirk Cousins.

1021
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: You got Justin Jefferson, you got Dalvin Cook, you got

1022
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 1: feeling uh IRV. Smith. Like. Their offense is good. They

1023
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: have a defensive coach, So if you just coach those

1024
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: guys up, their defense should be good next year or

1025
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: better white they easily could be nine and seven the draft.

1026
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: To be completely honest, I haven't even thought about the draft,

1027
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know that some of these random guys.

1028
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: A couple other things. I'd like your opinion on Justin

1029
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: Herbert the next Matt Stafford. I'd say he's more like

1030
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: a Josh Allen, a better version of Josh Allen. Rex

1031
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: Ryan be a really good college football coach, really good

1032
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: feel strong. I don't know about that. Texans trade Watson

1033
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins for two first round picks and two

1034
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: uh and take Piney Sewell and they have Sewel and

1035
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: Tunzil as the tackles for the next five years. Not crazy,

1036
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: I just don't know why they want to. I saw

1037
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: two of to day say that he thought his rookie

1038
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: year was blow average. I had someone in the league

1039
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: text me and they're like, bro, I just watched Justin Herbert.

1040
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: I had to put a grade on him in our system.

1041
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't think people can even comprehend passing

1042
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: on this guy for t Like, how good can this

1043
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: guy be? He's like the Skuy's the limit. I it

1044
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: just you got a cringe every day after the Miami Dolphins.

1045
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: That has to hurt so bad. I can't even imagine.

1046
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: You spent a couple of years bottoming out, you get

1047
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: the opportunity with the fifth overall pick and you take two, which,

1048
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: let's face it was not that crazy. But it's not

1049
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: about what me or you think. They are paid to

1050
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: get it right, as fans were just paid to watch,

1051
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: or me pay to talk about it. Actually, fans, we

1052
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: actually pay as fans to watch right. We get cable

1053
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: bills and go to games cost money. They're paid to

1054
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: get that right, though, and they screwed it up. Now

1055
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: it's only one year, but I that one's hard to shake, man,

1056
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: because if I told you right now the Dolphins had

1057
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: justin Herbert, we'd be like, are they? Are they the

1058
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: chiefs competition for the next five years. Bio major Here.

1059
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 1: The reason coke zero and things like that are able

1060
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: to have zero calories is because of an ingredient called

1061
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,479
Speaker 1: ask for a Tommy. I probably said that wrong, which

1062
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: tastes like sugar but cannot be digested by your body.

1063
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: It goes right through you. On my other podcast, I

1064
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: had this take. I was like, the craziest thing about

1065
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: coke zero or anything beside water with zero calories? How's

1066
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: it possible to have zero calories? Like I get water,

1067
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing in it. But with like Coca Cola, coke zero,

1068
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: Pepsi zero, Gatorade zero, you're still drinking. There's still stuff

1069
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: in there. How's that zero calories? I don't believe you.

1070
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: I believe there's like ten calories in there. I'm not

1071
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: even quite sure what calories are. I learned way back

1072
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: in the day, like high school, but I was I

1073
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: pushed back at that, so This is a good answer

1074
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: by Jack Malone. Coke zero has this. I'm gonna try

1075
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: to say this one more time as per as as

1076
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: part of me, I'm not very good with words. As

1077
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: someone the talks are living. I'm really not. I cannot

1078
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: even begin to say that word. That's a hard word

1079
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: to say. Appreciate everyone listening, have a good super Bowl week,

1080
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: and I will be back Friday. Godspeed,
