1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody? John Middlecop three and Out

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: podcast Back at it again, breaking news. Well, actually it

3
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: happened Wednesday night. I decided I had been kicking around.

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: I was like, this is kind of my perfect Super Bowl.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: I gott know a lot of people there follow this

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: team very closely, the Chiefs, several friends on the staff. Uh,

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: probably my favorite team, not the Niners. Probably might be

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: my favorite team in the league, just to watch. And

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: I go, what am I doing? Why don't I go?

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: And then I was getting some text like are you coming?

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Are you coming? Are you coming from? And I said,

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna be Scrooge here, I'm going.

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: So about Wednesday night I realized I pulled the trigger,

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: and now I'm going to South Beach, someplace that I

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: have When I was scouting, I went to a game

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, but because of maybe a female, I

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: stayed in Fort Lauderdale, which was pretty sweet. But I've

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: never been to South Beach. So I'm gonna go to

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: South Beach for the first time. Take in forty Niners,

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: take in Chiefs. Uh, you know, I don't. I didn't

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: get v I P invites in the mail or anything.

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: It's okay. We'll just be out with the blue collar people.

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: And uh, if you follow me on Instagram at John

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is also where we do the Middlecoff mail bag.

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll just be doing instant stories and pictures

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: NonStop and saying with Twitter. But I'll be all over

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the streets. I'm just gonna be Roman, record a couple

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: of podcasts, just get a feel for what the hell

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: is going on and get us ready for the game,

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: because that's the whole point of this event, is the

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm not planning on going to the game

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: unless someone with the Niners gives me, like really cheaper

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: free tickets, which is probably not gonna happen. But I

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: was thinking about it. I would I think I would

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: definitely be able to get if I did stay and

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: go to the game, into the Niner party would be

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: a lock. Chiefs one would be a little more difficult,

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: just I mean, it's I feel like a helicopter dad

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: flying in. But I do think I can get into

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: that party. They're probably just a small number of teams.

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: If I went to the Super Bowl, I could legitimately

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: go to the team party. Uh So, you know, if

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: if I don't know. I'm not opposed. My flight flies

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: back on Friday, but you know, if things change and

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: and I can finagle my way into the into the

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: stadium comes Saturday or Sunday night, you never know. I'm

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: a I'm a hybrid that way, I travel light. I

48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: can be fluid quickly. But but I'm excited. I'm really

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: excited for the game. We're gonna dive into a couple

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: of things just on this game. Not a lot going on. Uh,

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: some some coaching movement. I guess some things became official.

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: We'll dive on that at the end. With the I,

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: I did a little quarterback carousel on what I think

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: should happen with Brady Rivers, Cam Dalton, and Jamis And

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: then like always Middlecoff mail bag at John Middlecoff. That's

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff. It's my instant, is my Twitter. Probably

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: find me on Facebook, but Facebook kind of stinks. But yeah,

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: you can find me on all those social media platforms

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: and slide up in those d ms on instant. I'll

60
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: answer your questions here, but but I wanted to start

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: with something and I've been thinking a lot about this

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: right Like when you leave it, what's the point of

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: quitting or leaving a job, you usually want to find

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: a better job. Why do you usually break up with

65
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: somebody or get a divorce because you don't want to

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: be with them anymore. Ideally, you want to find someone

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: you like more. What happens all the time. It happens

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: in sports, but in football NonStop, every year coaches are fired.

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: And why are coaches fired not just because usually it's

70
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: because they do a bad job or I mean, we

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: can justify it. Sometimes they do a good job and

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: they're still fired. But but often, and I would say

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: of the time, it's pretty simple. The team wants to upgrade.

74
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: They think they can find a better coach. That is

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the entire point of anything that that breaks, right, The

76
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: reason you break up you try to upgrade. The reason

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: you fire your coach, You're just trying to upgrade. Now

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: we have seen, just like we all know, people to

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: get to break up with someone and they cannot upgrade.

80
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: It happens all the time in football. You fire a

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: coach and you think you upgraded, or you definitely go

82
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: into the hiring cycle trying to upgrade. Sometimes there's a

83
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: huge element of luck when you look at both these

84
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: two teams. Let's start with the Chiefs in two thousand thirteen.

85
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: I was just googling this. I remember it. I mean

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: I was. I was actually working in college at the time,

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: in college scouting, so I wasn't in the office when

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: when Coach Read got fired. I was on the West coast.

89
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: He got fired Monday morning or whatever, Black Monday, and

90
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: he was the Kansasy Chiefs coach within the next couple

91
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: of weeks. And Kansas City had fired Scott Pioli and

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: Todd Haley in that entire disaster, right, and they were

93
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: searching for a better coach, and they got pretty lucky

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: because Andy Reid's don't get fired that often, and they

95
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: kind of lucked into it. And I'm not I'm giving

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: them credit for being aggressive and making the hire, but

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: when you're hiring a coach, you are like the Dallas

98
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys this year they hired Mike McCarthy. They were lucky

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was available. Same with the Washington Redskins who

100
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: got Ron Rivera, who you would say those two hires

101
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: were probably the two most normal hires. They got lucky

102
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: that there were a couple of guys that have had

103
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot of success that were available as the Giants.

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: They end up with Joe Judge as the Carolina Panthers.

105
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: I liked them at rule higher, but they spent sixty

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: million dollars on a guy that I think pretty sure

107
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: as coach in the NFL. Like one year now, he's

108
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: long resume at Temple and Baylor. That ain't the Big twelve,

109
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Cowboys, you know, it's in the

110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons in the Saints. A little different animal now.

111
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: But you're you're thinking that you can do better or

112
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: take the next step. The because when they hired Andy Reid,

113
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: they had the number one overall pick. They ended up

114
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: with Eric Fisher, who's still their left tackle to this day.

115
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: When you look at the San Fransco forty Niners, I

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: had a front row seat for when they fired mutually departed,

117
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: however you want to describe it. With Jim Harbaugh, that

118
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: was crazy. It wasn't as crazy when it finally happened

119
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: because there had been like a year build up. If

120
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: you remember, there was a report that came out of

121
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Florio reported that the Browns had called an inquired about

122
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: Harbaugh during the combine. After his third season. He's been

123
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: to three straight NFC championship games, and that was a

124
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: nutty story. Everyone thought Florio was full of ship, and

125
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: it turns out there was smoke and there was fire

126
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: and there was a disaster. But they went with Jim

127
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: tom Seula because they thought that he would be better

128
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: for their organization train wreck. Next year, somehow they end

129
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: up with Chip Kelly. Don't ever forget this. When you

130
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: think Jim tom Seula, Who's who? Always be like a

131
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: Jeopardy verse and when it comes to football coaches of like,

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: who's the guy that took over for hardball Jim tom Sewela?

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: How many games did he win? One? He won five?

134
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: He went five and eleven. It feels like he won

135
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: two maybe one he won five because the next year

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: with Chip Kelly they won two and it was just

137
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: a disaster. They fired everyone a lot like Kansas City.

138
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Now Kansas City actually fired Scott Pioli after they hired Andy,

139
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: but the riding was on the wall. With San Francisco,

140
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan wasn't even their first choice. They wanted Josh McDaniels.

141
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Do you know what Josh McDaniels ended up doing. He

142
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: turned them down. Now Kyle Shanahan was like Josh McDaniels,

143
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: but younger had never been a head coach, but was

144
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: leading the top offense in the league by a wide

145
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: margin in the Atlanta Falcons. So they hired Kyle Shanahan.

146
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: But at the time there was like, is Kyle Shanahan

147
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: really head coach? Cool skinny guy, Dad the coach? You know, Dad,

148
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan. It was not like everyone knew in Kansas City.

149
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm as big of a coach read

150
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: guy as you'll meet. It went a lot smoother, a

151
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: lot earlier than even I envisioned. They made the playoffs immediately.

152
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: They've now made the playoffs six or seven years. Clarke

153
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: Hunt couldn't be any more excited with this higher It

154
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: was a little different for the forty niners. But here's

155
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: where I will give Jed credit. He was on the

156
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: right guys. I mean, everyone's wanted Josh Mucianos for the

157
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: last four or five years. He just won't take any

158
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: jobs until the Giants, I guess supposedly don't want to

159
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: hire him. They want and Joe Judge, the other guy

160
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: on the Patriots staff, Kyle Shanahan little riskier, but they

161
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: gave him a long contract three years later there in

162
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I'm sure many of you have seen

163
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: the video that went viral when he's standing next to

164
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: the ref during the NFC Championship game and he points

165
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: at I think it's Savage the safety. He's like, watch

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: Kittle's gonna release, He's gonna hold him when he tries

167
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: to run an out route. It's exactly what happened the

168
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: ref through the flag. The guy is just like a

169
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: boy genius. I mean, he's just he's incredibly bright when

170
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: it comes to football stuff. I'm sure he is on

171
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: football stuff too. He's even said, I'm actually only smart

172
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: with football stuff. It's weird how sports guys like I

173
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: can remember bits and pieces of different things. But you

174
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: can be like, oh, yeah, you remember remember when Alan

175
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Iverson came to Sacramento in like, yeah, you had forty

176
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: nine points, you know, I mean I was there. But

177
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: I mean you can just the things you remember as

178
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: a sports fan. You're like, why can't I remember, you know,

179
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: like American history? Well, why can't I remember other things

180
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: that actually impacted this world? I can just remember, yeah,

181
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: I remember when Barry Bonds. Uh, you know, in the

182
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: first game of the playoffs against the Atlanta Braves, when

183
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, you just remember these weird things as a

184
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: sports fan, yet you don't remember anything else, like oh

185
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: my god, I forgot my anniversary. Just the way it works.

186
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: But it really is wild that both these two teams

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: are in this situation because they do They did what

188
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: every team usually beside like the Patriots and like the

189
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Steelers attempt to do every three, four, some five, six,

190
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: eight years, try to up great a coach. And both

191
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: of them, I mean, I mean the Chiefs immediately hit

192
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: a home run. It was a little harder to see

193
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: with Kyle. But for someone that's watched basically every one

194
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: of his press conferences, watched the way he conducted himself.

195
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: The thing that I think is the most impressed, Like

196
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: if for those that I mean you most people that

197
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: fallow football have seen Andy Reid now for like twenty years,

198
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: he always acts the same. He's not too high, he's

199
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: not too low. He's like a Belichick. You don't see

200
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: him celebrating too much, you don't see him throwing stuff.

201
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: He's very very even keel and in football where everything

202
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: that you could think of will go wrong, even more

203
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: stuff ends up going wrong. That's kind of the personality

204
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: you have to have. When you look at the best

205
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,239
Speaker 1: best NFL coaches, they're pretty flat lined on the sideline.

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: I've noticed what Kyle Shanahan when they were losing. If

207
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: you got one of his press conferences from his first

208
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: season when they were at one point in time before

209
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy showed up like one and nine, and you looked

210
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: at one of his press conference this year when they

211
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: were like ten and oh or whatever. Their record was

212
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: ten and one or seven and oh or thirteen and two,

213
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: maybe they would have been twelve, twelve and two whatever.

214
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: It was going really well this season. Clearly he always

215
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: acts the same even after, like the playoff week of

216
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Minnesota going into the NFC Championship game, he looks the same,

217
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's a quality for a younger coach that's

218
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: usually rare. You see it in college football all the time.

219
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: Guys are so up and down and in the sec

220
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: s king of it. Kirby Smart and Jimbo Fisher there,

221
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: M f and everyone. They're screaming they're high, they're low.

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean savings like that too. Maybe it works in college,

223
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: it does not work in the pros. You have to

224
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: be consistent, and both these guys are really consistent, but

225
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: they're just kind of there because they're one of the rare,

226
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: both of them, the individuals where the team tried to

227
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: upgrade and they did, and there's just a huge element

228
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: of luck to it, you know. Like a good example,

229
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: this is kind of like geeky basketball. The Sacramento Kings.

230
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: They fired Dave Yeager, who's one of the best's best

231
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: exs and those coaches in the NBA. Now he's kind

232
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: of a politician weirdo, but he's an elite coach. I

233
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: was listening to a podcast over the summer with Doc

234
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: Rivers and Eric Spoelstra, the Clippers coach and the Miami

235
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Heat coach, and he was with Woach and Woch ask

236
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: him who was the toughest coach to game plan against

237
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: or in game adjustments against or out of bounds place

238
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. Both of them both of them said Dave Yager,

239
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: and they're like, WHOA, I didn't know you were gonna

240
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: say that. Well, they hired Luke Walton because kind of

241
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a hard bought Tom Sula. They

242
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: wanted everyone to be more happy and they wanted a

243
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: more inclusive guy, and the Kings are one of the

244
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: worst teams in the NBA. And I actually when they

245
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: hired Luke Walton, I was like, that's a good that's

246
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: a good hire. It shows you like people. I do

247
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: this for a living. You guys are sports fans for

248
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: a living. We all eat, breathe, and sleep this stuff.

249
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: And there are so many times when a guy's hired. Besides,

250
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm we'll even throw Andy read out a

251
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: little bit that was he had a long resume of success.

252
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: But the amount of guys like Kyle Shanahan that just

253
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: don't work for whatever reason, You're like, I would have

254
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: hired Kyle Shanahan too. Kyle Shanahan easily could have turned

255
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: out to be like a vance Joseph, like uh, dirt cutter,

256
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: like who like all the coaches that consistently failed Pat Shermer,

257
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the second time around he'll figure it out. Nope,

258
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: he's still terrible. Joe Judge, you know, he's really impressive.

259
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: He says he's a blue collar guy. He wants to

260
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: put on the pads. He wants to hit, and he

261
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: wants to tackle, and he wants to do the Uh,

262
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: he wants to do uh, you know, all the drills

263
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: to make guys tough. It's it's gonna resonate with Jersey.

264
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a chance in two years he's won

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: like six games, right, Like I know McCarthy and Rivera

266
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: are gonna be solid. I have no clue. Like Cliff Kingsbury,

267
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: I think he's decent. But if you tell me he's

268
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: never gonna win more than six games in the next

269
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: two years, I'd believe you, because it's really hard. It

270
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: is really, really difficult to figure out first time head

271
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: coaches and even sometimes the second the quote unquote retreads.

272
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: And I don't like to use the term retread with

273
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: guys that win. Like Andy wasn't a retrade. He was

274
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: just a guy whose time ran out in Philly and

275
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: needed a new shot. Same with Mike McCarthy, Like he

276
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: had twelve years or whatever in Green Bay. It was

277
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: just time. Even kind of Ron Rivera. They got a

278
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: new owner, it was just time for a break up.

279
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: But to me, all those guys Andy had been to

280
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, Revere had been to a Super Bowl,

281
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: McCarthy had won a Super Bowl. Like they've proven they

282
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: could lead an operation you knew what you were getting.

283
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: But mostly look at this hiring cycle. Joe Judge, no

284
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: freaking clue. The dude was doing special teams, Matt Rule.

285
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: He his introductory press conference. I was ready to strap

286
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: it up. He could be a royal failure like Kyle Shanahan.

287
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: I was impressed, and I always thought it was gonna

288
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: turn but I kept thinking, like, he better win now.

289
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: And you know what, he didn't just win now. He

290
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: kicked everyone's ass And we're getting this matchup and and

291
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: it is a really really exciting UH coaching matchup. And

292
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: it all ed because once upon a time, the Chiefs

293
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: in the forty nine ares just like most teams in

294
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: the league. They get to this point every several years,

295
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: tried to upgrade, and they nailed their hires. Okay, let's

296
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: dive into a couple moves that change football forever and

297
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: just liking anything, there are moves in this world that

298
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: change things forever. I mean, Pearl Harbor was bombed. It

299
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: ultimately led us to saving the world. I was googling,

300
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, I got eight million Apple products. I remember

301
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: being in college at cal Poly in like oh five

302
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: oh six and buying the iPod and remember the original iPod.

303
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: They aren't like even the phones now. They were big,

304
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: they were heavy, but they were badass because you could

305
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: load all your music on the thing and walk around.

306
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: So I was googling today. In two thousand six, the

307
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: iPod made more money for Apple than the Mac. It

308
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: changed the company. A year later they make the iPhone

309
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: and Apples never looked back. Now I got iPads. I mean,

310
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: they just it changed the world. Let's just call it

311
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: what it is. It changed the world. Well, there are

312
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: two moves in this Super Bowl. The ultimately changed the

313
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: leak because starting with the Chiefs, they were good. They

314
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: had made the playoffs four of the first five years

315
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith, they had won the division definitely, maybe twice,

316
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: but definitely once. Part of it was a little skewed

317
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: because Peyton Manning and the Broncos were unreal, but they

318
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: were a good team and coach Read and I know

319
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: this for a fact, that he's told me those guys

320
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: love Alex, Matt Naggye, coach Read Doug Peterson, that they

321
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: hold Alex to the highest level of esteem a human can.

322
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: But they're not dumb like he was. He had a

323
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: ceiling as a football player like there was, only there

324
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: were certain levels of things that he was not going

325
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: to be able to do. And when you want to

326
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, and you know what, I gotta

327
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: play Rogers, Russell, Wilson, Brady, some of these young cats.

328
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that in the bag. And they swung

329
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: for the fences. And at the time when they swung

330
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: for the fences to get Patrick Mahomes, it's easy to say, now, WHOA,

331
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: that was an easy move. I don't think it was

332
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: as easy. Definitely not around the league. Damn. They traded

333
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: multiple ones to trade up for Patrick Mahomes, this guy

334
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: from Texas Tech. It's probably gonna go down as the

335
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: best move in franchise history, whether they win or lose

336
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: his Super Bowl. In two seasons, he won an m

337
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: v P, got him to back to back a f

338
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: C Championship games, and got him to a super Bowl.

339
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: And let's be real, they're gonna win a Super Bowl

340
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes if he stays healthy. That just that

341
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: feels like the most inevitable thing at sports. The forty

342
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: niner is a little different because the chiefs dictated that

343
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: they said, we need this guy, we want this guy,

344
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: we love this guy, and they traded for him the

345
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners. And I tell people this with the Niners

346
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: all the time, you better send Belichick Christmas cards every

347
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: year until he passes away, because he changed their franchise.

348
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: When Kyle Shanahan got here. The forty Niners had no quarterback.

349
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: They cut Kaepernick, they brought in Hoyer and the quarterback

350
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: play was horrendous. Hoyer stinks. And they were I think

351
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: one in eight and they had just played the Philadelphia

352
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Eagles and they had gotten boat raced. Now that was

353
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: the good Eagles team with Wentz and they ended up

354
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: getting the number one seed, ended up winning the Super Bowl.

355
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: But it was like, geez, luise, that's the best team

356
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: in the league where the NFC, the Niners are the

357
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFC. And it turns out they

358
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: really were. I think they were one in eight at

359
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: the time, and Belichick calls Kyle Shanahan and says, listen,

360
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bargain with you. I'm not looking to

361
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: go back and forth. I want your second round pick.

362
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: And I don't blame Belichick because again, they were it

363
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: looked like they were headed for the number one overall pick.

364
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: So that would have been picked thirty three, and I'll

365
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: give you Jimmy Garoppolo and a couple of hours later,

366
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is a forty Niner And those two moves,

367
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo coming to the forty Niners and and you listen,

368
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing Jimmy Garoppolo and Patrick my Homes. Patrick

369
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes a better player. But and I think you see

370
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: this on Twitter, and you see the Booker eaters arguing

371
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: that Jimmy stinks. Jimmy does not stink. Is Jimmy a

372
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: top five quarterback? No? Is Jimmy somewhere between seven and

373
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: fifteen on a given game. Sure, some games he's thirteen,

374
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen in the league, and other games he's four

375
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: or five, six, somewhere in that range. I know his

376
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: high end. Like if the forty Niners had done what

377
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: they wanted to do, and that was signed Kirk Cousins

378
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: before Belichick called, think of the butterfly effect. If Belichick

379
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: had not called and traded them, Jimmy Garoppolo, Kirk Cousins

380
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: would have been on the forty Niners. I will promise

381
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: you I would bet every penny I've ever earned in

382
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: my life, savings, the forty Niners would not be in

383
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl because I'm watching a similar team in

384
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. You could argue, now their coach might

385
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: not be as dynamic, but their talent is equally good,

386
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: if not better, especially on offense, and they can't sniff.

387
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: They missed the playoffs and then this year they're out

388
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: in the You know, I guess they did win a game,

389
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: so I gotta tip my hat to Cousins, but they

390
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: have no chance to go to the super Bowls wouldn't

391
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: be a super Bowl, forts wouldn't be the what seed

392
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: With Kirk Cousins, they would have been kind of like

393
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, probably had some good years and been

394
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and Kyle Shannian would have got some credit.

395
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: But ultimately Kirk Cousins, like Alex Smith, would have done

396
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: to coach Reid put a ceiling on their franchise. Mahomes

397
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: put zero ceiling on the Chiefs. He gives them a

398
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: ceiling as high as the as the moon. Jimmy, it's

399
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: a little different, though. I think some of us have

400
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: to remember this is the first season start to finish.

401
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy's ever started. He played sixteen games, the two playoff games,

402
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: coming into the season at ten career starts, and the

403
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: numbers speak for themselves. Without Jimmy Garoppolo, Kyle shanahans like

404
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: four and twenty. With him, he's five. So clearly Jimmy

405
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: is really good, and with Kyle he can make magic happen.

406
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: But those two moves and just you go, well, John,

407
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: you're just talking about the good. There's a lot of

408
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: bad moves too. I'm not even talking about those teams.

409
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: When a move's made, we think like, oh, that's a

410
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: kind of a cool move. Like when the Bears traded

411
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: up for Mr. Rbiski, I was like, Wow, that's kind

412
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: of bold. It's kind of blown up in Ryan Pace's face.

413
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: When when the Browns traded the pick that allowed the

414
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: Houston Texans to get Deshaun Watson, I was like, you know,

415
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: I like DeShawn Watson a lot of Clemson, but you

416
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: know when I trade all that to get him attendant, Yes,

417
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: looking back now, yes, but at the time of these moves,

418
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: you never truly know. Like when the Jets traded up

419
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: to get Sam Donald, we still have a lot of

420
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: unknown with that, but that seems like a pretty good move.

421
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: When the Bills traded up to get Josh Allen, I

422
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: like that move too. I remember applauding the move when

423
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals traded up to get Josh Rosen. That was

424
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: a failure in oasis move. So when these moves happen,

425
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: or these trades happen, we see it more on draft

426
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: day trades with quarterbacks than mid season trades. Guys like

427
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo very very rarely get traded. I'm trying to

428
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: think up top of my head, like Matt Shob Kevin Cobb.

429
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: But even there, like Houston Texans, Matt Shop really worked.

430
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: It ended poorly, but it really worked. They were really

431
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: good with him. They had a really good offense. That

432
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Cobb was a disaster. So at the time of

433
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: a move, and we're always gonna have opinions and be excited,

434
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: you never truly know. There are some like locks. Right

435
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: when the Warriors got Kevin Durant, it's like, yeah, that's

436
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: gonna work. Like I'll give you the baseball one the

437
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: Yankees signed Garrett Cole to however, three hundred plus million dollars.

438
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it might work, it should work, but we've

439
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: seen and we have enough examples. These things don't consistently work.

440
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: The Angels, I thought Albert Pools like the best player

441
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: I'd ever seen. Angels gave him three hund million dollars.

442
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: It's been one of the biggest flops in baseball history.

443
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: And I was in Philly when we signed non Di Awsowa.

444
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: So when these moves happened, sometimes they transcended the league,

445
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: and that's what the Patrick Mahomes did. Jimmy, I don't

446
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: know if it transcended the league, but it definitely changed

447
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: the forty Niners franchise. And then the butterfly effect because Jimmy,

448
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, tears a c L Week three, the

449
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: Niners wouldn't have made the playoffs last year, but they

450
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been drafted number two overall. Off Jimmy had

451
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: played sixteen games. Then because he tears a c L,

452
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: it leaves leads them to Nick Bosa. It's kind of

453
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: crazy how all this ship kind of works out. And

454
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 1: at the time of every move, we always have an

455
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: opinion that's a good move, that's a bad move, that's

456
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: a bold move. But when when we can look back

457
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: in a couple of years, we go, Wow, the Texans

458
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: were a genius for getting to Shawn Watson, Ryan Pace.

459
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: He would die to have that one back. And that's

460
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: kind of what makes sports cool. And that's kind of

461
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: symbolic as we get closer to the Super Bowl that

462
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: the two biggest reasons they're there. Obviously, Mahomes is the

463
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, the reason the Chiefs took a huge step,

464
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: but Jimmy stabilized the franchise is because trades were made. Okay,

465
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: let's dive into the quarterback carousel, and and here's what

466
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: I did. I picked the five guys that are really

467
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: famous and potentially are either free agents like Brady or

468
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: Rivers or Cam Dalton under contract but probably be traded.

469
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: And then Jamis who's also a free agent but kind

470
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: of in a weird spot. And here's how I'm going

471
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: to approach it. I'm gonna say what I would do

472
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: if I was the decision maker for said team. Let's

473
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: start with Tom Brady. If I was Belichick, There's no

474
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: way for Belichick to get high in the draft. It's

475
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: just not happening. There's too many teams in eat quarterbacks,

476
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: so he's not gonna be able to get a tool Herbert, like,

477
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: would you rather have Rivers and Brady? No? Would you

478
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: rather have Dalton and Brady? No? Would you rather have

479
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: Jamis than Brady? Of course not. I would just bring

480
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: back Tom Brady. I would make him a competitive offer.

481
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: I would be aggressive and get better players on my

482
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: offense and try to make another run. You only have

483
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: so many opportunities to try to win a Super Bowl

484
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots. The a f C is not as

485
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: good as the NFC. Beside the beside the Chiefs and

486
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Who's even that good in the a f C?

487
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: The texts or excuse me, the Titans have a ton

488
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: of question marks because their quarterbacks are free agent, the

489
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: running backs are free agent, and running backs are best player. Uh,

490
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: the Colts don't have a quarterback, Chargers might not have

491
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback. The Raiders and Broncos aren't that good. Like,

492
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: it's pretty wide open. I would just bring back Tom Brady.

493
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: Now where it could get kind of complicated, because I understand,

494
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: if I'm Tom Brady, this is not about the money.

495
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: But it is about the money because the money equals respect.

496
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: So if I'm Tom Brady, do I tell the Oakland

497
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: Raiders make me an offer, would you pay me two

498
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: years seventy five million dollars? And just I just want

499
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: to get the offer right, because life is all about

500
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: It's not what you're worth, it's about what you can negotiate.

501
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: And I look at Belichick, I go, just will you

502
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: match the two years seventy five million dollars? That's what

503
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders think I'm worth. You don't think I'm worth

504
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: that to you? Think of what I've done for your career,

505
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: for this franchise. And if I'm Belichick, I would have

506
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: a hard time with that because I'm gonna be paying

507
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: this guy thirty five million dollars when he's forty four

508
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: years old. But I think you just have to bite

509
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: the bullet and just take a swing. You're at the

510
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: end of the road. You're basically in hole eighteen. You

511
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: just it's a part five. Just try to try to

512
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: burny it. You know it's it's your last hole. Why not,

513
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. I don't think Dean Spanis will do this

514
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: because he's petty and cheap. I would just let him leave,

515
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: just start over. You're drafting high, draft a quarterback and

516
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: just start your franchise a new you've had a great

517
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: run with Rivers. Great would be strong, a good run

518
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: on with the Rivers. Do him a solid. He's a

519
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: high character guy. Let him become a free agent. You

520
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: don't really want him. I was. I did a radio

521
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: hit with Gottlieb, who knows the charges. Well, they can't

522
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: sell tickets with Philip Rivers. Just let him go. I

523
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: would just let him go. I would just move on.

524
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes in life you just gotta move on. It's not

525
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: about the value or you're hanging on for whatever reason personally.

526
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Just just break ties, just go your separate ways. It's

527
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: time Cam Newton. I actually think it's a pretty easy

528
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: one from Matt rule. Matt Rule kind of gets a

529
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: free year if you keep Cam Newton, because we'll just

530
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: see what he has, see how healthy he is, and

531
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: then no one's really judging you. If you cut Cam

532
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: Newton or attempt to trade him, people immediately your clock starts. Now.

533
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: I get he's under contract and he's not gonna get

534
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: fired or anything, but we start judging him. And people

535
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: like me love to criticize coaches because we can't, well,

536
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: what quarterback you're gonna get? What kind of often are

537
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: you gonna run a lot of pressure there's on Joe

538
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: Brady instead, it's just Joe Brady kind of gets to

539
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: ease into it work with Cam. Matt Rule eases into it.

540
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: I would just keep Cam for another year. That doesn't

541
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: mean you still can't draft a guy or sign a

542
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: veteran free agent or whatever. I would keep Cam obviously

543
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: unless he's has an injury that will never be the same.

544
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: But it doesn't feel like that's the case. Andy Dalton,

545
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: this one's a little tricky. Clearly the Bangles are gonna

546
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: raft Joe Burrow number one overall. Right now, Andy Dalton,

547
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 1: who actually has played well at many times in his career,

548
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: his value is probably an all time low. Their team

549
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: was atrocious, he got benched in the middle of the season.

550
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: I hold onto him, So I draft Joe Burrow. What's

551
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton gonna do? Bitch and moan like he just

552
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: he'll show up if you tell him to show up,

553
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: and even if he's got a rep with the two's

554
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: be a good guy. Maybe wait till training camp again,

555
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: This is risky. This is my probably my boldest move.

556
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Guys always get hurt in training camp. His value would

557
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: go back up. So instead of giving him away, for

558
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: a sixth round pick. Maybe you can get like a

559
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: third or fourth come training camp when teams get desperate

560
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: because guys get injured. Now, then you kind of get

561
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: into a tough spot. You don't want Andy Dalton around

562
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow once the season starts, but you could

563
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: always pawn him off. Then his value to me is

564
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: literally nothing, And I don't want to kind of guy

565
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: like Andy Dalton because he does have some value and

566
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: he's under contract. Jameis Winston this is the toughest one

567
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: because he's a fascinating player to watch. He can score,

568
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: he can throw the ball deep, but he turns the

569
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: ball over at historic rates and thirty plus picks. Like listen,

570
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: a terrible season is like twenty two picks. He cruised

571
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: the thirty plus interceptions. Can you imagine if they just

572
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: had Andy Dalton, a cam, just a guy that they

573
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: could function with, it wouldn't turn it over that much.

574
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: Maybe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the playoffs. Bruce

575
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: Arians is not. This is not a long term thing.

576
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: He's trying to win. Now. Now, if I was Bruce Arians,

577
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: I'd either know here's a piece of information that I

578
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Does Bruce Arians believe that he can fix

579
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston. I'd lean no. Now, I did see Carson Palmer,

580
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: who's been on this show, tell Rich Eisen that he

581
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: thought that he could be somewhat fixed because his first

582
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: season with Areas he threw a bunch of picks. Because

583
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: Arians kind of tells you go bombs away, and when

584
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: you go bombs away, it can make it a little complicated,

585
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: especially for a guy like Jamis who turns it over.

586
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: I would lean keeping him for a season, But the

587
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: moment I think I can get if, if Philip Rivers

588
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: wants in, I'm taking him. If I can get Ryan Tannehill,

589
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking him because I can't go to the playoffs

590
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: with a guy who might throw thirty picks again. For

591
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: as great as his five touchdown games are and his

592
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: deep bombs the Evans and Godwin, I can't function with

593
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: a guy that's turning over that much. So I'm I'm

594
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: loosely keeping him. I can always yank the franchise tag

595
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: trying to upgrade, and if I can't, I'm just rolling

596
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: it back because again I am trying to win. But

597
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fascinating thing. Because I think in reality,

598
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: I think Brady plays the market and presses their hand.

599
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: I'll be a little surprised if they actually let Rivers

600
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: just quote unquote walk. That's not Dean span of his style.

601
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, I don't know Matt rule these situations. It

602
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: seems like a guy usually likes to just kind of

603
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: blow it up and start from scratch, so I would

604
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: guess he'd be cut. Andy Dalton will probably be traded

605
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: in March. My thing is they're not gonna get much

606
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: back from him, and Jamis I don't know he's really

607
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: the great wild card in the league. Okay, let's go um,

608
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: let's go a little Middlecoff mail bag here. I got

609
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of questions, So why don't we ask them

610
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: or answer them? You asked them at John Middlecoff is

611
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: my Instagram. I know we got new listeners, so just

612
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: slide up in the d M s if you've got

613
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: a question football related? How I get a lot of

614
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: random questions, but most of them are football. Are we

615
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: sure the Lions won't just stay put at number three

616
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: and pick two? Or Herbert the franchise of stale and

617
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: has been for years? You know what the ceiling is

618
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: with Stafford, and he's only got one more year of

619
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: high guaranteed money. Not to mention the coach gm are

620
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. Isn't at least worth considering drafting

621
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: to a sit him for a year and then pass

622
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: the franchise to him in two thousand one. Well, it's

623
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: not crazy at all. I would say on my last

624
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: topic about the quarterbacks, if Matt Stafford became available, that

625
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: that would change a lot of stuff. I mean, I

626
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: think teams like the Raiders, the Chargers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

627
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, there would be a lot of teams interested.

628
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: Why not just take two? Uh what if he's ready

629
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: to play and just play him and get and trade

630
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Stafford for picks? That that doesn't seem crazy to me.

631
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was a lock they would trade back.

632
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: But Yeah, the more more I thought about it, you're

633
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: right there on the hot seat. You factor in. You

634
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: know Stafford was banged up last year. They're just so

635
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: desperate to win. I I don't think it's out of

636
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: the realm possibility at all. I think it's safe to

637
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: say everything is on the table early in the draft.

638
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: I think everyone think thinks it's a lock the Redskins

639
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: draft Chase Young at at two. What if they traded

640
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: back a couple of spots and still got Chase Young

641
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: at like four. What if some teams got to two

642
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: and three and they just moved back a couple of

643
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: spots and let everyone take quarterbacks and they still got

644
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: their guy. I don't think that's out of the realm

645
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: of possibility. Hey, John love the podcast The Bear has

646
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: the Bay Area forgiven. Jed York during the NFC Championship ceremony.

647
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting he shifted the attention to

648
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: the Shanahan pretty quick, as he thought he was anticipating

649
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: getting booed. I don't think he was anticipated getting booed.

650
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I think he knows that everyone's in a pretty good mind.

651
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, when you go when you go thirteen and

652
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: three and then you host, you're the number one seed,

653
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: and then you go to the super Bowl. I think

654
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: it was more That is one of the best moments

655
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: of Jed York's ownership. It was just smart. Sometimes Jed

656
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: over the years has kind of lacked a feel for

657
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: the room, he said. I mean one of the besides

658
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: firing hardball. He once said win with class, and that's

659
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: something around here. We made fun of him for a

660
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: long time. I know the media wants everyone just to

661
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: draft high character guys. If you draft high character guys,

662
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: you'll lose if that's your entire team, Like, you gotta

663
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: have a balance. It's just a reality of the sport.

664
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: And he said that after they hired fired Hardball, it

665
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: was a disaster. You just jed. No one cares about class.

666
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: The the hardbo forty were rock stars around here. They

667
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: had scumbags on that team. Chris Culiver chased to dude

668
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: down a street with brass knuckles. Ray McDonald beat up

669
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: his girlfriend multiple times. Bruce Miller, the fullback, beat up

670
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: an old guy at Fisherman's Wharf. Like they had a

671
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: team full of criminals. No one gave a ship when

672
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: they were winning. Alden Smith, i mean got arrested like

673
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: every other week. I'm not saying that's right, but that's

674
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: just a reality of life. The media is the one

675
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: that freaks out about that stuff. Fans don't care if

676
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: you win. It's just proven it really is. So yeah,

677
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: I'd say I don't know if he's been fully forgiven,

678
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: but he definitely is not. Still in the doghouse. Forty

679
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: playoff run feels like the Panthers run in two thousand

680
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: fifteen and one cruise through the regular season and blew

681
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: up people in the NFC obviously disappointed the Super Bowl

682
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: eight point favorite against the Broncos Kansas City d will

683
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: commit your run? Can Jimmy make the throws to commit

684
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: to the run? Oh? I got you. I would say.

685
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: The difference was and I was at that I was

686
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: at that Super Bowl and I put listen, I go

687
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: through stretches of gambling. My problem with gambling is I

688
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: don't really get a high from like a fifty dollar bet,

689
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: So for me to gamble, it's got to be like

690
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: two three. And anyone knows that gambles like you can.

691
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you go through a cold streak, you

692
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: can lose a couple of grand that's post tax money.

693
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: But I bet like fifteen dollars on the Denver Broncos

694
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: that week, and it was because their defense was elite

695
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: and I was covering the Raiders at the time, so

696
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: i'd seen them live. This Chief's team, like, when you

697
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: have an elite defense, you have a chance to win

698
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. I don't know if this team. The

699
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs don't have an elite defense, so that's where the comparison.

700
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: I also think the Niners team is more dynamic than

701
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton team. I know, Cam Newton had won

702
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or excuse me, the m v P.

703
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: But the Niners are just more of a normal offense.

704
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean they were dependent. I think Cam had ten

705
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Not a crazy comparison, but I don't know.

706
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: It feels like this Niner team is just more complete

707
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: now that Cam Newton was better than Jimmy uh luke

708
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Keickley was elite. I mean, they had really good players,

709
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: but I don't know, it just it feels a little

710
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: different because, again I bet against Carolina, I wouldn't feel

711
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: comfortable betting against the Niners. I wouldn't bet the Super

712
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: Bowl just because I think it's a true coin flood game.

713
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs are favorite, the Niners are the underdog.

714
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: That that to mean the difference. The Panthers were a

715
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: heavy favorite. I don't think it was eight. I think

716
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: it was like six, but the Niners are legitimately a

717
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: one point underdog at the last time I checked. The

718
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: Vikings coming up short again this year in the buzz

719
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: saw San Francisco. Who should they be looking at in

720
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: the draft wide receiver, corner, O line and eventually hopefully

721
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: replacing Cousins. Well, I'm trying to think. You just got Kubiak,

722
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: You have a running back, you got two sweet wide receivers,

723
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: you got a couple of tight ends. You can always

724
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: get better offensive line. Uh, you're off. Your defensive ends

725
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: are still sweet. Your linebackers are good. You could probably

726
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: draft a corner. I would either go offensive line or corner,

727
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: just off the top of my head, but without diving

728
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: deep into like their contract status. Who's a free agent?

729
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: Feels like all these guys are under contract. Cook's under contract,

730
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: Cousins under contract, Feelands under contract, Digs under contract, Rudolph

731
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: got an extension, if Smith's a rookie, Kendricks under contract,

732
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: Bars under contract, Daniel Hunters under contract, Harrison Smith's underc

733
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: other just guys are under contract. John Lynch has always

734
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: been my favorite player and has been on the cuss

735
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: of making the Hall of Fame as a player for

736
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: a while. Do you think his work as a GM

737
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: pushes him over the edge. Is a contingent on a

738
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl win? Well? I I think the I think

739
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame in general has gotten deluded. I

740
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: saw a quote from Dion Sanders. I thought he was

741
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: dead on the Hall of Fame used to be reserved

742
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: for the elite of the elite Montana, Dion Sanders mean

743
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: Joe Green, Walter Payton, like it was the cream of

744
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: the crop. It was just like, that's the best. The

745
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's right, the Mickey Mantles, Like you said a name,

746
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: it resonates. They've led in a lot of guys over

747
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: the last handful of years that you know, to me,

748
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: is John Lynch a Hall of Fame player. He's actually

749
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: closer than some of these guys get in. Like when

750
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: I think the Hall of Fame, I think I think

751
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: John Lynch before I think like Bill Cower. Honestly, I

752
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: never thought Tony Dunge was a Hall of Fame coach.

753
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: Nice guy, good coach, Hall of Fame. Jerome bettis Hall

754
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: of Fame. Tim Brown like Tim Brown kind of just

755
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: accumulate a lot of numbers. Again, good player, Andre Reid.

756
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: When I think Hall of Fame, I think Jerry Rice, right,

757
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: I I think the Great, I think Terrell Owens. I

758
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: think we're Antonio Brown until he lost his mind, huge

759
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: fan of the podcast. Have two thoughts for you to

760
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: chew on. Have you ever thought about bringing Colin on

761
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: the podcast and contesting contesting his hot takes? We all

762
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: know that some are out there. Uh No, I have

763
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: not two. That's why he has a show to have

764
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: his takes for the gamblers. Have you ever considered a

765
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: segment like Collins Blazing five? You have unique take and

766
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: briefly touched upon some of the picks, but never nothing

767
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: concrete for gamblers. Yeah, not a bad idea. Maybe maybe

768
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: I could have a specific gambling topic or segment next year.

769
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: I kind of do that at the end of all

770
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: the podcasts right when I when I go over the lines,

771
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: but probably could get a little more specific. I appreciate

772
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: the insight and the thought. Do you think the Packers

773
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: will acquire weapons for Rogers that will solve our problem

774
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: of being the worst thirteen and team the worst thirteen

775
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: and three team? Ever, it seems like old Rogers will

776
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: continue to regress unless he has someone to throw to

777
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: that isn't named Adam's side note? Should we will we

778
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: cut Jimmy Graham? Yeah? I think Jimmy's done they just

779
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: need to get some wide receivers. Maybe sign like an

780
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders and draft a guy because Rogers can still play.

781
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: He just needs help, so get him help. Like you've

782
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: got two more years of Rogers. Maybe we're still playing

783
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: at a pretty high level. But if you're only options

784
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, you've got issues. Vante is my guy, He's

785
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: like my favorite player in the league, but you need

786
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: more than that. I'm a big l a guy. And

787
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: will USC ever get back to college football supremacy or

788
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: at least consistently in the top ten or fifteen? Or

789
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: is it over for the whole pack twelve and the

790
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: south Wool rule college football? Second, I'm a Raider fan.

791
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: Who should we draft and go after in free agency?

792
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: Is there a way and get rid of to rear

793
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: white Head? I would say USC is not going to

794
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: be in the top ten until they get a better coach.

795
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: Like you're not winning anything big with Clay Hilton. We

796
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: know that. It's it's not even opinion, it's a fact.

797
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: Free agent. I haven't even looked at the list of

798
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: free agents, so I can't even go there. Draft. The

799
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: Raiders have two picks, I think twelve nineteen. I would

800
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: imagine they go middle linebacker. They desperately need speeded linebacker.

801
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: If your linebackers are slow, your defense is slow, and

802
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: they just they don't. They haven't had linebackers since I've

803
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: been around him for the last ten years. And probably

804
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: a wide receiver they don't with Antonio Brown going off

805
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: the deep end. Waller is a good player, Terrell Williams

806
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: a good player, Hunter Renfroze a solid slot receiver. But god,

807
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: they need a number one wide receiver. The good thing

808
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: is loaded wide receiver draft, Absolutely loaded wide receiver draft,

809
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: so they should have a chance to solve, you know,

810
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: some of their problems. Huge fan of your work and

811
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 1: appreciate the nobs takes. We do no b s takes

812
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: here on three and out. I like it. What do

813
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: you think is the best path forward for the Cowboys

814
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: receiving corps? A Maari sounds like he is gonna get

815
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: a deal done, But do you think it will be

816
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: lower since he has been consistently injured and on the

817
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: sideline Gallup has emerged as a dude. But do they

818
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: add more in the draft or grab some free agent

819
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: talent to give has some weapons. Here's the problem. Amari

820
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: is a free agent, and so's Dak. So if you

821
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: signed both those two guys their salaries, Dax was nothing

822
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: this year. It was like a million dollars might even

823
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: have been a little less. Amari's was making decent money

824
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: because he's on his fifth year option. But combined, if

825
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: Dac makes thirty million dollars next year and a Maori

826
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: makes sixteen million dollars by by cap space, I don't

827
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: where else do you go? I I like Amory, I

828
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: no longer love him Mari. I would be hesitant to

829
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: pay him huge money. He is really talented. I think

830
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: in a perfect world he's a great number two. I

831
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: don't love him as a number one, Like just the

832
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: one thing keeps coming up, is he the toughest guy

833
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: in the world. I think we have evidence he's not.

834
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: And when I look forward in a really good wide receiver,

835
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: who I can depend on when times is he award

836
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: Daddy And for example Antonio Brown, who's nuts and he's

837
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: losing his mind. You could depend on Antonio Brown and

838
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: games Julio Joe, I can depend Hopkins, I can depend

839
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Kill. These guys play hard. Mari sometimes like

840
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: checks out and It's just it's hard given the money

841
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: you have to pay him. Lifelong Falcons fan knowing what,

842
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: we don't have the personnel to consistently run the Seattle

843
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: cover two scheme. Trufont not a shutdown, no consistent number

844
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: two corner love debo. He's not a Bobby Wagner and

845
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: Neil Bless. His soul is always hurt. Do you think

846
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: it was a good idea to draft Isaiah Simmons and

847
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: move toward a hybrid three four scheme, especially consider he's

848
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: coaching for his job? Well, I probably miss some words

849
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: there because I was thinking about it when I was reading.

850
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it made sense, but I

851
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: know what you were asking is that you can't change

852
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: your scheme when he's a defensive guy. He's a four

853
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: three coach. You can't just flip into a three four.

854
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Belichick, can you know? Kyle and Andy can

855
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: flip offenses. But most coaches don't have that in the bag.

856
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: So I would say, yeah, in a perfect world, I

857
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: would do that, But I don't think it's they're capable

858
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: because their head coach isn't capable, and who do they

859
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: have on the staff that's capable? Of doing a switch

860
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: like that. So I would say, no, you're just gonna

861
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: have to run the Seattle scheme. To me, their issue

862
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: is like their offense started slow. Dan Quinn's proven that

863
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: he can coach guys up. I actually think that that

864
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: Tampa is a sleeper gonna be a lot better team

865
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: next year, just given they're not gonna start as slow.

866
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: So I I think dan Quinn's proven he at least

867
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: has some idea of what he's doing. He's not the

868
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: village idiot like it looked like when he was one

869
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: and seven. Now what I kept him? You know, I

870
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: think when you look at the landscape, who are they

871
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: going to replace him with? So I guess in a

872
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: roundabout way, they're not going to change their defense, or

873
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: at least I'd be shocked if they did. You're just

874
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to roll with it and just try to

875
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: play better and have your players that you know you're

876
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: good players that you do have because you have a

877
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 1: roster that is pretty talented. Make place and not start

878
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: slow and give yourself a chance to, you know, to

879
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: make a run of the playoffs. Appreciate everyone listening Three
