1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,920

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with the family. Can have a few beers, a

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: few cocktails, some turkey, watch some football in joy your

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: life today. Our plan is we're gonna hit the three

7
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving games and then we'll do a little mail bag

8
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: in those dms. We will not have a show on

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Turkey Day, so this will be the last show till

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Thursday night and I'll go live on the YouTube channel

12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: after the Bengals game, I guess the Raven game ravenspangles

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: and this will be a podcast and then we'll probably

14
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: have another reaction after the Eagles and the Bear. So

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on, lot of content coming

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: do the mailback. Let's do a little rapid fire the

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Thursday Games, which is an incredible slate. I didn't do

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: a research project, but my guess would be this is

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: one of, if not the better three games stretches and

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving history. Now. I don't know when they started doing

47
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: the night game. That's probably within the last decade. I mean,

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I think we had a period where we just had

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: the two games, a lot of Cowboys, a lot of Lions.

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: But now with the three games, it doesn't get much

51
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: better than this. So all these lines are presented by

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: hard Rock bet. I'm gonna take the Packers. Obviously, Week

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: ones a long time ago, the Packers kick their ass.

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Someth'm just a little off with the Lions, like it's

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I talked to Tom, the guy who runs the gym.

56
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: I didn't even know. He's like, I'm from Detroit, big

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Lions fan. Like shit yard, He's like that was crazy.

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, Jamior Gibbs saved the day. It's just

59
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: something's off. Defensively, they looked like last year at the

60
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: end of the season when they have a bunch of injuries.

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, for Jamis to throw for three hundred and

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards. He had eighteen completions. Mario Manningham, Odell

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: Beckham and Malik Neighbors weren't running around out there. It's

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: like one Dale Robinson, who actually is pretty good. But

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Jamis's touchdown catch which was sick. Something's just off now

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: green Bay, it's not like I feel great about and

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: obviously Detroit at home. That offense looks awesome in theory,

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: not all the time this year, but green Bay's defense

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: is fantastic. I don't think you can get the Packers

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: right now plus two and a half kind of like

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: them money line. Like, to me, if you're gonna bet

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: the Packers, I would just take him to win outright,

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: And to me, green Bay wins this game. They still

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: got a couple of games against the Bears, it would

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: feel like they could kind of hit I wouldn't say

76
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: the after Burners, but they would be in the driver's

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: seat to win the division. So I'm taking the Packers

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: in this game, which pains me. I'm a Dan Campbell,

79
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, Jamiir Gibbs, guy. I love Laporta two, but

80
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's a pretty big blow. Obviously, the Packers

81
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: are missing their tight end as well, but I'm taking

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: green Bay in the spot. The offensive line for Detroit

83
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been as dominant, that's another problem, and obviously green

84
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Bay's pass rush and just team speed on defense. I mean,

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Haffley has probably been one of the standout stars

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: so far this season as a coordinator. This game's fantastic.

87
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean it really is. You know, the Chiefs down

88
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: eleven points, win that game, get some life for six

89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: and five going on the road to the Cowboys who

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: are just getting shell ACKed. Win that game. I mean,

91
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: you go to the gym Monday morning and Steven A

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: saying like was that a legacy the fighting game by Dak?

93
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how First Take writes their headlines like

94
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: it would be fucking exhausting, Like is that the biggest

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: win of Dak's career? It's like, how do you guys

96
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: do this every week? I couldn't be in that business.

97
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do those topics day after day, which

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: in a weird way I respect, because you'd have to

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: fake it at a certain point. But that was a

100
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: massive win by Dak Prescott. To me, you can't have

101
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: the biggest win of your career if your team's more

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: than likely not going to the playoffs. Though you win

103
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: this game against Kansas City, all of a sudden, you're

104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: six five and one. You know you have to take

105
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: them seriously because their offense is so good. George Pickens,

106
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna take the Cowboys at home plus three. Listen,

107
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs playing a ton of tight games would not

108
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: shock me. If like game winning butker field goal. They

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: win by one points, but three points at home. My

110
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: buddy Jeff Fong was just there taking buddies and clients

111
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: to the game, and I text them, like, you didn't

112
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: leave at halftime. He's a diar cowboy fan, said no,

113
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: I did not. I said, lucky for you. That's an

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: incredible moment, something you never forget part of. Again, why

115
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: we go to games. I haven't been to a game

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: in a while, but every once in a while you

117
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: just are part of a game that you can talk

118
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: about ten twenty years later. I was at that game

119
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: when they were down twenty one nothing. They came storming

120
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: back and beat beat Philly. So I like Dallas plus three.

121
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: It's listen to their offense fun to watch, George Pickens.

122
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: I think field yates put this out there has more

123
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: yards than the entire Steelers wide receiver court. Uh. Kansas

124
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: City's finding their groove a little bit though, where sheet

125
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: Rice is getting going. I just like I'm taking Cowboys

126
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: plus three. You know, this game's fascinating. Obviously Joe Burrow's

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: coming back. I don't think like this is not a

128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: must win situation for the Ravens because they still play

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers twice, and the Steelers on Sunday play the

130
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Bills Like. I don't know about you, but coming off

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: a long week, especially if Mason Rudolph's quarterback, I'm taking

132
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the Bills in that spot. So the Steelers are in

133
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: a complete free fall. I would bet the house. Did

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens win this division unless a couple of catastrophic

135
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: injuries happened, including Lamar who clearly's banged up, but even

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: at fifty percent, I'm taking them over forty one year

137
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: old Rogers who's banged up now, and Mason Rudolph. The

138
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Steelers are done. Put a fucking fork in them. But

139
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: let's this game was crazy last year the Ravens won both.

140
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I think Burrow threw nine touchdowns. They were a theater.

141
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean they were incredible as of recording this, I

142
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: would guess T Higgins with the concussions is not gonna play.

143
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: You know, obviously sometimes in sports like well, he's got

144
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: fresh legs. There's also a rust element of timing. I

145
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: know he's been practicing the last couple of weeks, but

146
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: I seven points a lot. I guess I will take

147
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the plus seven. Don't feel great about this. You know,

148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Stucky's big on those first halfs for the Ravens. I

149
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: just you know, listen, you're playing the Jets kind of

150
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: a sleepy spot. You know you got big divisional games

151
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: coming in. I don't necessarily hold that against him. The

152
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Seattle and the Titans were tied three to three after

153
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: a quarter. Like sometimes you play an awful team or

154
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: human beings, you don't take them seriously. So if I

155
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: was gonna lean away, I would take the Bengals plus

156
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: seven a lot of points. But I don't know. This

157
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of feels to stay away. I don't see how

158
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens lose. Let's dive into the mail bag at

159
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff is the Instagram, Fire into

160
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: those dms and get your questions answered here on the show.

161
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Someone sent me this the final trade results, because I

162
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: think obviously Bryce played last night. Bryce Young, you know,

163
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: in the trade that the Bears and the Panthers made

164
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Honestly, it's one of the

165
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: great moments of Ryan Poles' career. They got DJ Moore,

166
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: they got Darnell Right, they got Tyreek Stevenson. So I

167
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: mean they're getting starters and DJ Moore and Caleb Williams.

168
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: Who listen, he still can be a little bit of

169
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. He is dramatically better than Bryce Young,

170
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: like in a different universe, just from a skill set standpoint,

171
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: let alone as a player. They got the punter, the

172
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: Australian dude from Iowa and Luther Burdon. I think it's

173
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: fair to give Ryan Poles the win on that one.

174
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: That that is one of those if you are the Panthers,

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: you regret badly and listen, it's weird, Like, you know,

176
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Bryce is just seems like a fantastic guys. He's not

177
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: very good player. Speaking of guys that aren't very good player,

178
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy is essentially a rookie. He's in one of

179
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: the toughest divisions in football and is playing the hardest position.

180
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: Since when does a quote rookie get less than one

181
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: season to prove themselves. I don't understand the overreaction of

182
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: wanting to move off JJ already. His job right now

183
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: is to show flashes and try to turn those flashes

184
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: into consistent play your thoughts. He doesn't show flashes. He

185
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: probably in the game on Sunday through the best pass

186
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: of his career. It was like a deep out route

187
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: layered it over a defender to Jefferson, might have been

188
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: to Addison, but it was like on the left side.

189
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: It was by far the best pass he's made of

190
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: his career. But to me, you watch him like I

191
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: don't see flashes. If I was seeing flashes and it

192
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: was one of those situations like Caleb where you go listen,

193
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: he's airmailing some throws and then he makes badass plays,

194
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: it's like I'm living with that. I see the physical attributes.

195
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: I see a guy who is i mean statistically up

196
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: there with JaMarcus Russell, and it's like, well, he's a rookie.

197
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty five. You got to pick up his

198
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: fiftye options. At the end of next year, you have

199
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: a team, you are paying a premium for elite guys.

200
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: You have an elite coaching staff, Like it's one thing

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: to develop a player who is showing flashes and who

202
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: is growing. You watch this guy, he is completely over

203
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: his head, I mean, and they're trying to redo his mechanics.

204
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you want to make him the backup

205
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: and go with someone else, But how do you look

206
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson in the face. How do you look some

207
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: of these players and go, Okay, we're just we're gonna

208
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: probably end up going five or six wins, but maybe

209
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: this guy turns into a top fifteen quarterback, because the

210
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: argument would be that's typically not how it goes, you know,

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: and guys who have got to sit and read you

212
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: their mechanics didn't have to play. Well, you're playing them

213
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: because you don't have any other options. I mean, you

214
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: were thrown out. Carson wentz there and he's stunk too,

215
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: So you could argue the quarterback position for the Minnesota

216
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: Vikings is potentially a franchise altering mistake. Like you can

217
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: nitpick Sam Donald all you want in the big games,

218
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: the chances that JJ McCarthy is ever fifty percent of

219
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: a decent Sam Donald game. What he's shown these last

220
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: couple of years is slim the nun. So listen Hindsight's

221
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, but you had him and he threw

222
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns and he went with JJ McCarthy. And

223
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: I think the scary part about JJ, beside the poor

224
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: play major injuries, I view an injury prone player. You

225
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: have Last year he missed the entire season, multiple knee surgeries,

226
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: longest ankle sprain in the history of angle sprains this year,

227
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: and now he's got a concussion, So he's not a

228
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: durable player. I just think that it's pretty concerning, and

229
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: especially when you go well. And this is a thing

230
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: like guys Trey Lance couldn't play for Kyle Shanahan. I

231
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: was out. Every quarterback I see play for Kyle Shanahan

232
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: looks good. If you don't look good for Kyle Shanahan,

233
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: you aren't good. I've seen Kirk Cousins, I've seen Sam Darnold,

234
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Like even Carson Wentz this year kind of functioned a little.

235
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: If you can't function for this guy, I'm out. Especially

236
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: with those wide receivers, you can't play now. Maybe in

237
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: three or four years you figure it out. But I

238
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: don't have time right now to do that. That's not

239
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: the way the world works. It's not the way this

240
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: industry works. I have to make financial decisions. I'm also

241
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: paying guys a lot of money. It's a complicated situation, right,

242
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: any of you people that are younger than me, that

243
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: are in situations, especially, you know, when you get into

244
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: like your late twenties, early thirties, you started dating and

245
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: you date your age, you know, you get some pressure

246
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: like put a ring on it. Like, you get to

247
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: a point it's like you either got to put a

248
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: ring on or were ending it right. So that sometimes

249
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: the situation with these quarterback contracts the Panthers are in one,

250
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: you think they're picking up the fifth year option on

251
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Bryce Young. Well, if you're not going to pick up

252
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: the fifth year option, you might as well just move

253
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: on this offseason. But then the answer is like, what

254
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: are your options? Well, clearly this guy's not an option

255
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: after his contract ends, so you might as well try

256
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Now, these situations are complicated, but

257
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: they are what they are. Heard you talking about how

258
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: the Vikings are trying to change McCarthy's mechanics. To me,

259
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: it makes no sense why they would offer Daniel Jones

260
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: more money than Indy but tell him that he wouldn't

261
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: even have a chance to win the starting job. If

262
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: your tenth overall pick who couldn't even practice his whole

263
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: rookie year, can't beat out Daniel Jones, then what's so

264
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: wrong with having him sit on the bench another year

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: or two? Especially when you've watched the biggest rival, the

266
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, do the exact same formula to perfection

267
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: multiple times. My question to you, as someone who has

268
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: worked in the NFL, what do you think when into

269
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: the decision to not give Daniel Jones a chance? And

270
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: how do you think those conversations went. I think Daniel

271
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Jones won like he's a dude guy. Daniel Jones is

272
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: very intelligent. He's not dumb. He sees when you draft

273
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: a guy high, he was drafted high, what happens? They

274
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: want to play that guy and it's easy to go.

275
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: This is where the Packers not having an owner really benefits.

276
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: Then there is not a billionaire breathing down their throat,

277
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: because you know what the billionaire does. He listens to

278
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: people like me. He listens to the radio, he reads

279
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: the athletic that's what he spends his time. He's a

280
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: super rich fan who has the GM and the coach

281
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: have the answer to him, but he's no different. Well,

282
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: these guys don't know anything about football. I mean, you're

283
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: gonna learn more if you're around it enough. But it's

284
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: not like they just want to see the guy play.

285
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't even blame the owner. It's like, well,

286
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Caleb grow, I'm seeing Jayden Daniels last year

287
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: have a great rookie season. I'm seeing bo Nicks figure

288
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: it out. Like I want to see my guy. So

289
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: if I'm an owner and I go, well, we used

290
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: this high pick on this guy and let Sam Donald go,

291
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: I want to see this guy play. So there's pressure.

292
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: And then if you're if you're Daniel Jones, you go.

293
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard gets on the horn. Because this happened to

294
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and San Francisco, it's like there's a competition, No,

295
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: there's not. Sam Donald knew when he signed with the

296
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers he was gonna be Perty's backup, just

297
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones knew when he signed with Indianapolis. If

298
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: he didn't get hurt, he was gonna be the starting quarterback.

299
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: He had been in Minnesota, and he knew and listen,

300
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm not Daniel Jones is not solving all their problems.

301
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Obviously he's better than JJ McCarthy, but he's no dumby.

302
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: He just knew that they were gonna start that guy,

303
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: like they weren't gonna have a true competition. And sometimes

304
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: you don't have true competition. There wasn't a competition with

305
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Richson, Daniel Jones. Anthony Richardson was done last year

306
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: when he ran off the field. There wasn't a competition

307
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: with Trey Lance and Sam Donald. That thing was over before.

308
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: This is what I said the other day about Shador.

309
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Like these coaches and they're not always right, Like I

310
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: just used a couple of situations where they were right,

311
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: but get things in their mind. We're no different. Right

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: in whatever business you're in, you determine the outcome sometimes,

313
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: and this isn't the healthy way to do things. Before

314
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: you start something. You know what you want the end

315
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: result to be, and when you're dealing with players, that

316
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: can get you in trouble. So Daniel Jones knew that,

317
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: like they were gonna go with j. J. McCarthy because

318
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: he's drafted. Lie shit, it happened. It literally happened to

319
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: him when he was drafted. I. Today's show is brought

346
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Kyle can be a dick, but I felt bad John

347
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: Perragu and Jed should be taking the tough questions about Ayuk.

348
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: They waited until November to void his contract, while Kyle

349
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: has to blow out this fire. Kyle banged the table

350
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: for a Yuke getting that contract, But Kyle has too

351
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: much value on Sundays a contract but Kyle is too

352
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: much fake. It's time for them to get a real

353
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: GM with a vision because the drafts have been awful

354
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: and something needs to change after this Ayuke debacle. Kyle

355
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of the blame for the Ayuk situation.

356
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: The GM in the front office was prepared to trade

357
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: that guy around the draft because we're not paying seventy

358
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: five million dollars for a guy that's never gonna catch

359
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: more than seventy five balls. And this is when I

360
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: was healthy and good, very talented player. But I'm not

361
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: paying a premium like Sam Brown gets paid a premium.

362
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 1: But they utilize him. He's gonna catch one hundred, one

363
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty balls every single year. I uke in

364
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: this offense is gonna play third fiddle to Georgian and

365
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and just running the ball. And that's Kyle's offense.

366
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: So like Kyle deserves blame for this is where coaches

367
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: take the emotion out. All these guys in the front

368
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: office would have traded him, but but but Kyle's like,

369
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: I gotta have him on Sunday. It's like Kyle, I

370
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: can find Kendrick Bourne up the scrap heap in mac

371
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: Jones and I watch you have ten catches one hundred

372
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and fifty yards with a guy against the Rams who

373
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: might win the Super Bowl. So like this is where

374
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: coaches Kyle is beside Jed York. No one has more

375
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: juice in that building than Kyle Shannion. Nothing happens like

376
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: the avoiding the contract. If you think that was all

377
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: the business people and not Kyle, like Kyle's listen, Kyle

378
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: can be a dick. I also think he's not dumb.

379
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: Like you know, business, you gotta be very very careful

380
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: with the way you crush a guy with money. You

381
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: want people to play for you, You want your own

382
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: guys on the team that they're friends with Ayuk. So

383
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: it's a delicate situation. But to me, a lot of

384
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: the blame, like obviously a Yuk not showing up or

385
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, doing things to ruin a contract is he

386
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: bears that responsibility. But like Kyle signed up for this,

387
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, God, they did what they were doing. So

388
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't feel much sympathy in the sense of like

389
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: the other guy's not the coach talks, like how he

390
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: doesn't talk during the season, Lesneed's not talking like it's

391
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: part of the business like Kyle talks. And again, Kyle's

392
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: the of all the guys you just listed, beside the owner,

393
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: Kyle's the highest paid guy. So that there's in his

394
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: contract no move is made without him signing off on it,

395
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: and we'll see this draft doesn't look terrible, but like

396
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: it was clear, Like I don't know if this was

397
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: a scout draft, this was a coach draft. And I'm

398
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: pro Kyle because, like you said, his value on Sundays. Listen,

399
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: when you are a valuable individual, people can live with

400
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: your flaws. This is what was my issue with JJ McCarthy,

401
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: like not productive, not available, Well, in my world, you're useless. Right,

402
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: It's like Doc Rivers said, as long as your talent

403
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: outweighs your problems, you're gonna be on the court. Right.

404
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: The moment that that ratio goes problems over talent, you're done.

405
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: And it's no different. Listen, coaches big egos. How would

406
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: they not They're making fifteen to twenty million dollars. I

407
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of myself too. If every day I

408
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: looked in the in my direct deposit, I'm getting a

409
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: million dollars a month. Right, you're gonna have a big ego,

410
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: especially when you're great at what you do. But like

411
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: there's he's not perfect. I don't think he's the easiest

412
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: guy to deal with every day. Obviously has a lot

413
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: of opinions on the roster in the offseason. But he's

414
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. I mean, you watched him. Kyle Shanahan verus

415
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: Dave Canalis was varsity vers JV. Now listen, Kyle Shannon

416
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: like comparing me to Dave Canalos. No shit, John, that's

417
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: varsity versus Peewee's. But that was if that was flipped

418
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: and you gave Robert Sala and Kyle Shanahan that team,

419
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: the Niners will lose that game because Dowdell would have

420
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: had thirty carries and two hundred yards. That was that

421
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: was really really embarrassing for Canalis. It really was was

422
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: talking to some buddies about how terrible the Travis Hunter

423
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: trade looks for the Jags. What if we stayed and

424
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: grabbed Membo, Warren t Mack, et cetera, and then still

425
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: had a two and a one. But then we arrived

426
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: at how impressive it is that the coach has the

427
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: team seven and four with wins over the Niners, the Chiefs,

428
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers of the Texans. I know we can't trust

429
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: the Jags in any serious manner, but Liam, our sweet

430
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: Italian DC and Trevor are doing great. I would say

431
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Trevor didn't need to throw four picks against the the

432
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: almost of the Falcons, the Cardinals. I wouldn't say Trevor's

433
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: doing great, but I would say this and Bears fans

434
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: can relate. It looked like you nailed the coaching higher

435
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: and when you get the coach right, young offensive guy

436
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: like listen, Liam Cohen's like legit. I honestly think he

437
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: was undervalued last offseason. Like if if you could have

438
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: a do over, I do, Like, if you're the Jets,

439
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: would you rather have Liam Cohen or Aaron Glenn? But

440
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: in fairness, like Aaron Glenn had played there, he'd been

441
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: a bigger name for longer. I take Liam Cohen like

442
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: you said that Italian DC like they're pretty good, like

443
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: they are. Their coaching staff with the Jags is good.

444
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: The Travis Hunter one, Listen, you make some mistakes, it happens.

445
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 1: It's I'm not gonna crush him, because you don't get

446
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: paid to draft, you get paid to win. So like

447
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have had a lot of shitty

448
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: picks over the year, I mean a lot, And they

449
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: started with Solomon Thomas, who actually is gonna have a

450
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: twelve year NFL career. They draft him third overall. Now

451
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: granted the Bears drafted Trubiskia two, but still the difference

452
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: between them and the Bears, Like, Niners win a lot,

453
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: so it's like they take less shit. You could miss

454
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: on every draft pick. If you're winning eleven games a year,

455
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: no one's gonna say anything. I mean, we really get

456
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: into the weeds and nitpicky, but like, okay, I'm in

457
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs every year. So I think it all comes

458
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: down to the Travis Hunter thing. Anyone with any sort

459
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: of understanding about the NFL. You don't even need to

460
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: be a player. You don't need to be a coach,

461
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: you don't need to be an executive or a GM

462
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: would go in what world is a guy gonna be

463
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: able to play both ways? Especially, I would have given

464
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: it some credence of like he did this at Georgia

465
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: or Alabama, so every single week he's covering and playing

466
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: against the best guys in the country. If every single

467
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: week you played Ohio State, it's like he won both

468
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: ways and he handled it, I'd be like, Okay, he

469
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: might be able to do it. There's no way it's

470
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: humanly possible, because every single week in the NFL. Okay

471
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase this week, Well, who'd you got next week?

472
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, who you got the following week? A J. Brown?

473
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: A little lighter week this week, dk Metcalf. Every team

474
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: has good wide receivers, so it's impossible, and then playing

475
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver is hard enough, the physical toll you take

476
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: of getting tackled. It was impossible. It was dumb. I

477
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: think they overthought. If you just would have stayed at

478
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: if Travis Hunter, you just would have drafted Travis Hunter

479
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: and not made the trade and said, hey, we're just

480
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: gonna playhim a wide receiver. I would be like, no problem.

481
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I mean, every time I look

482
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: at the Browns and Miles Garrett running around, the dude

483
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: from Michigan, Mason Graham, it's fucking all over the place.

484
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: That guy's a baller. Do you think of Love and

485
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: McCarthy swap coaches, they both be more successful. Love would

486
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: be able to showcase his elite arm talent in a

487
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: pass first offense in KOC. With KOC, and maybe McCarthy

488
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: could be a functional game manager. He would definitely be

489
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: a better player in a run heavy offense. Right playing Lafloor,

490
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, uh Ben Johnson right, a guy that's gonna

491
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: just lean. I want to run the ball thirty times

492
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: a game. But even in that offense, look at Perty

493
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: last night throwing some of those picks there are. The

494
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: passing game is off the run game, and you gotta

495
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: be three steps, five steps, let it go. Hit the

496
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: guy in stride. A big part of like the Niners

497
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: offense or the Packers offense, which is, you know, essentially

498
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: the same thing. Get guys in stride, run after the catch,

499
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: explosive plays. Well, he's really really inaccurate. So I think

500
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: love one would look better with those two wide receivers

501
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: and the tight end. Yes, he would look good, he would.

502
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: They would be throwing bombs. Question for the mailbag. I

503
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: heard Richard Sherman talking about Brandon Ayuk basically advise him

504
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: to play and not set out. I was under the

505
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: impression that he was still injured and that it would

506
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: play when healthy. I guess that's clearly not the case.

507
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: And I was wondering what the hell is gonna happen

508
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: with Brannon and his contract. I'm as confused as you are.

509
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: And I watched Mike Silver that reported on the story.

510
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: Do an interview on Instagram with CANBR, which is the

511
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: big local radio station in northern California, and even he

512
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: said he didn't have all the details. It is a

513
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: very confusing story. So unless I have all the pieces,

514
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: like is he healthy enough to play right now? Because

515
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: if he's not, then there's nothing he can do. But

516
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: is he healthy enough to play? And he's refusing to

517
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: come back because he doesn't want to risk any injury.

518
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: He doesn't want any part of the forty nine ers.

519
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm with Richard and anyone else with a brain like bro.

520
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: The real world, even if you are extremely successful and

521
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean a baller, the chances that you are ever

522
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: making twenty five million dollars a year if you don't

523
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: own and sell a business are slim than none. The

524
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: most one of the most successful guys I know who

525
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: just said he I was with him within the last

526
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: six months. He's probably early forties, and he's you know,

527
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: he's a very six I mean, this guy is a hustler.

528
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: I knew him in college and he's just a businessman.

529
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: He's wheeling and dealing a lot of different industries. Real

530
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: estate stocks said he by far had the best year

531
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: he's ever had in his career, and a lot of

532
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: it was he had a huge risk. He put a

533
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: lot on the table, made like ten million dollars, and

534
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: even I was pretty actually intoxic at the time, so

535
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: maybe I wasn't like blown away, but that I kind

536
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: of thought about it. Like when I was the next

537
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: day driving home and I sobered up, I'm like, that

538
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: is insane. What a year. That's badass. But that's you're

539
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: never getting twenty five million dollars back. You don't. There's

540
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: not a human alive unless you're bezos or you know,

541
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: one of these guys Steve Balmer, who's just twenty five million,

542
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even notice. No one is giving that type

543
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: of money up. That is malpractice by the agent, by

544
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: the individual. It's just a sad, embarrassing situation. There's probably

545
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of different adjectives to describe it. But I'm

546
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: with Sherman. I think what he's trying to say is, bro,

547
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: this thing will end for you. And here's the other

548
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: elephant in the room. What if he's never the same.

549
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: We see it with athletes all the time. They have

550
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: a major injury and they are never the same. So

551
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: what if when you come back and you get cut

552
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: and you're available, people will work you out and they

553
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: sign you like a one year, two million dollar deal

554
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: just to see what you look like, and you don't

555
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: look right, and then you can't make any money. Like

556
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: there aren't industries like the NFL that pay people twenty

557
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: five million dollars where you're a W two employee. That's

558
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: an incredible opportunity which you earned, you negotiated. Giving that

559
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: up is and honestly, just I makes me have a

560
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: loss for words. I can't even begin to relate. And

561
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are extremely lucky if he's truly

562
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: not gonna fight it because they're getting bailed out in

563
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: this situation, like they fucking signed the contract. So it's

564
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: not like I feel sympathy for them that they should

565
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: get out of it, like they were the ones willing to,

566
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, do a deal. Congrats on all the success

567
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs offensive aggression. Since the enemy left, Why

568
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: is it not considered to be brought back? What is

569
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: the league's view of Eric Bienemy and why is he

570
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: not more sought out OC or head coach? That's a

571
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: great I mean, my buddies with the Chiefs always liked him.

572
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: You know, he became the offensive coordinator in Washington, didn't

573
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: go well. Ucla was really really bad. He's a running

574
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: back coach right now for Ben Johnson, so he's in

575
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: a good spot. I think people would say it's like

576
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Andy Reid was calling the plays, not the enemy, But

577
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't speak to that. You know.

578
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, I I don't understand, But I also don't

579
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: view their regression as like tied to him. I think

580
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: it much more has to do with, like you lose

581
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, Travis gets old you a little different. You've

582
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: seen this year when they've been healthy, they've been much

583
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: more explosive on offense. Patrick needs to play better. You know.

584
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: It's like part of it too, is like Patrick hasn't

585
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: been as good the last couple of years. It's just

586
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: that simple. Patrick was in during the regular season, was

587
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players we'd ever seen. Last couple

588
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: of years kind of hit a miss. Still good, still

589
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: awesome in big moments, and great in the playoffs. But

590
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: like in the regular season, week to week, he's just

591
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: not as dominant as he once was. We appreciate that

592
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: you never conceal your disdain for terrible NFL coaching and

593
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: with the overdue firing of Chip, can you give us

594
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: your list of your personal worst NFL coaches of all time?

595
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: We got to know where Brandon Staley and Jim tom

596
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: Sula stack up in the manure pile. That's a good question.

597
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: I would say I'd have to think about that, because

598
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: the thing with Chip is like Chip once upon a

599
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: time was good and then he went to Philadelphia and

600
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: he was never the same after that. In post those

601
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: last year in Philly, the forty nine ers, the UCLA.

602
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: I know he had a good little stretch there in

603
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but I mean Ohio State, I didn't even

604
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: think he was that good the majority of the year either.

605
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: Obviously with the Raiders ran a big time scam. But

606
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: like Chip was changed the sport, Brandon Stateley had one

607
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: good year and to me it was just his press

608
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: conferences made me want to puke in my mouth. Tom Sula.

609
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: In fairness to Jim tom Sula, there are a lot

610
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: of guys like him that are just defensive line coaches

611
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: or linebacker coaches or old line coaches that are good.

612
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Jim tom Sula was a good defensive line coach. There

613
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: is not a human alive that has ever thought this

614
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: guy should be our head coach, except if your name

615
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: is Jed York and Trimbalke. So I don't even blame

616
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: Jim Tom Suell. It'd be like, Hey, the Minnesota Vikings

617
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: just called me. They said, hey, we're gonna put JJ

618
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy on. I are, and we're gonna have you John,

619
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: you want to be our quarterback? And I said, yeah,

620
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: how much you're gonna pay me? They're like, uh, we'll

621
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: give you a five hundred thousand dollars a game. And

622
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: I said, yes, Well, if I get out there and

623
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: I suck, because I would suck, it's not my fault.

624
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: It's the Vikings fault. So a lot of these guys

625
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: that get hired, it's like John Marrow when he hired

626
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: Joe Judge, Like, how did you think that was gonna go?

627
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: Obviously the Brian day ball thing did not go well,

628
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: but like, that's an understandable hire, I would say statistically

629
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: based on the outcome of wins and losses and how

630
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: long the guy survived. I do think Josh McDaniels is

631
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: the only guy who's been a head coach twice and

632
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: didn't make it to the end of year two either year.

633
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: I remember when he got fired, it was like an

634
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: NFL record. He said two stops. Didn't got fired midway

635
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: through this second year both times. That's pretty hard to do, Okay.

636
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: Why are Broncos fans on Twitter so delusional and sometimes

637
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: obnoxious about bo saying he's the MVP or that he's

638
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: a better quarterback than guys like Herbert and May Why?

639
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: I think before I even read the rest of this,

640
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: if you're ever getting mad about people on the Internet

641
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: and their opinions, like, it's a waste of your energy. Now,

642
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: if you can handle going to comments sections and laughing

643
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: and putting a smile on your face, but if you're

644
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna get worked up and listen, I'm guilty. I do

645
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: it every once in a while, and then I realize,

646
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: why am I doing this? Why do I give a

647
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: shit what all these people are arguing about. I still

648
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: find it crazy in twenty twenty five. How whether it's Twitter,

649
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: whether it's Reddit, whether it's like the comment section and

650
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: the athletic articles, how do people just go back and

651
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: forth and argue? And I used to do it a

652
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: lot when I was younger, but I like no one

653
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: ever goes yeah, a good point. I changed my opinion,

654
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: so I you can't get worked out for people on

655
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: the internet. It's extremes. So I don't know what to

656
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: tell you. Who would win a fight, Sala or Demiico.

657
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: Once you've answered that the underdog gets a tit of

658
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: zone and the favorite has to run a mile before

659
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: the fight, who wins now? Dimiko was the Rookie Defensive

660
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: Player of the Year as a rookie. You know, rookie

661
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year played at Alabama, and it's

662
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: just a certified badass, like middle linebacker in the NFL.

663
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: I you know Robert Sala. I was gonna say Western Michigan,

664
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: but he looks fantastic now and he listened. Ah is

665
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: a help of a drug. He went to Northern Michigan

666
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: ninety seven to two thousand. Obviously was not a pro.

667
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: He was a tight end. I would say, if you

668
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: take Robert Sala from Northern Michigan and Tomiko from Alabama

669
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: and put Dimico over Robert Sala and say stone him

670
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, I'm taking Dimico now in

671
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: a fistfight. You never know. I don't know if either

672
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: guy's trained, but I would like Demico's chances, though I

673
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: do believe that Sala has gotten dramatically bigger over the

674
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: last six or seven years. For a guy whose job

675
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: is pretty labor intensive in terms of his time, he's

676
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: got like fifteen kids, like Philip Rivers, how does he

677
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: have time to get such elite pumps in My buddy

678
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: Guy Haberman, who just had a baby, congrats he uh.

679
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: He calls Niner games this year and he's taking a

680
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: little break because they just had the baby. But he

681
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: was on the road and he's just saying, you know,

682
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: he had lunch with Sala and Gus Bradley, and he said,

683
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: Sula's a pretty healthy eater. So clearly you don't get

684
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: that shape at you know, in your late forties. Great

685
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: in the gym. It ain't John bajuices and it ain't protein.

686
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: So you have the good stuff. I'm not saying steroids,

687
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: but you just you get older, you know, you get

688
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: a little testosterone or whatever. And to me, the diet

689
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: nothing has been truer in my life as you get

690
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: older is the impact of diet. I work out, I

691
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: would say on average like six days a week, but

692
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gotten fatter than I ever have

693
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: over the course of the last couple of years. It's

694
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: like your metabolism changes and you know your diet has

695
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: to change and eating healthy. And Robert Sola, I think

696
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: is an elite healthy eater. Well, you see, like Kyle Shanahan,

697
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: who's like forty five, looks skinny. I bet there are

698
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: days where Kyle Shanahan does not eat. It's like Kyle's lifting.

699
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: I bet Kyle just eats like red bulls adderall and Gatorays.

700
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: As a Vikings fan, we really don't have much hope

701
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: JJ or nine. You can't have a nickname and you

702
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: can't wear the war paint when you are statistically the

703
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: worst quarterback since JaMarcus Russell. We have to change the

704
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: self made nicknames. Listen, Kobe gave himself nicknames, Buddy backed

705
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: it up. You can't give yourself nicknames, Lebron. Same thing like,

706
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be a self proclaimed whatever the name is,

707
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: you have to be good. And QUESTI is one of

708
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: the worst drafting gms the Vikings have ever had. I

709
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: agree that you know, say what you want about the

710
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: previous regime. What's his name? And just cases me Zimmer

711
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: and God, I had him on the podcast a couple

712
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: of years ago. What the hell is the former GM's name?

713
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: Great guy retired. His brother is the former Lions linebacker

714
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: who works with the Lions now. I don't know why.

715
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: I can't think of the name, but he was good

716
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: like he. I mean, just look at the guys he drafted,

717
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: from daneil Hunter to Eric Kendricks to Harrison Smith to

718
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson came on this podcast. I apologize brain's not

719
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders. Is there any hope? I like O'Connell,

720
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: but Flores is gone this offseason. Yeah, I don't know.

721
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the sport is so quarterback to

722
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: dependent that Like, if your quarterback is one of the

723
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL, there's not much you can do

724
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: and your options are pretty limited. So you look around, like,

725
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? Could they trade for mac Jones?

726
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: Could they sign a guy like Gardner Minshew? I mean,

727
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: their options are pretty limited. You're not gonna draft another

728
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: guy more than likely. It's yeah, I'd say you're kind

729
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: of screwed. Should the Cardinals go back to Murray when healthy?

730
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: I think they should move off them and stick with

731
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: Prissett and draft the new quarterback. Part of the reason

732
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: they're never gonna go back to him is because if

733
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: he gets injured, then his contract guarantees following year. So

734
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: I Kyler Murray's never gonna take another snap for the

735
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals would be my guess. But it's it's it's not

736
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: because he might not give him some juice. And you know,

737
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: if Jacobe has a couple of bad games, like he

738
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: couldn't be better than him. I think it just has

739
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: more to do with money. First, that loser Patriot fan

740
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: from a few years ago, we have forgotten you one

741
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: jump ship and after two down years you ought to

742
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: be ashamed of yourself hashtag fake fan. My actual thoughts

743
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: In the NBA, we've seen a rise in significant injuries

744
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: because the players are moving running substantially more. I'm wondering

745
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: if there are a similar correlation between that in football.

746
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: As the passing game has gotten more frequent, I imagine

747
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: there's been a significant increase in running. Curious your thoughts,

748
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: you mentioned having allergies start consuming locally farmed raw honey daily.

749
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: I would say on the NBA and the injuries, my

750
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: theory again, not a doctor couple workless state school degrees

751
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: simply has to be. I think training has changed dramatically.

752
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: And I was watching this thing with Shack the other

753
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: day that was like I would show a fat and

754
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: I would use training camp and early in the season

755
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: to get in shape. And he wasn't alone. Most guys

756
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: in the seventies, the eighties and nineties did not train

757
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: three sixty five. I can imagine Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle,

758
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: those type guys of three hundred and sixty five days

759
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: a year. There's got to be under two weeks where

760
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: they aren't doing something physical that relates to training for football.

761
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: And part of that's you know, sauna's cold tubs stretching,

762
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: but they are constantly and I'm just using them as

763
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: examples the training year round. There has to be a

764
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: strenuous kind of toll on your body because, like you said,

765
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: the games now it's never been fat. It's more spread

766
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: out NBA running gunning, NFL spread out running around. But

767
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: I just think there's an element of I don't even

768
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: want to say overtraining, but the ratio of training to

769
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: actually playing in football, because in training camp he used

770
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: to play a lot of football right, double days work

771
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: at it and now they don't. So that's always been

772
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: my theory. Could be way off. Would love to know

773
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: being an NFL scout works. Is it salary nine to

774
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: five work week? Do you compensate those that watch thirty

775
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: plus hours of film? What are the incentives of being

776
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: a go getter scout versus the average scout. I had

777
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: a buddy tell me this. His problem with the scouting

778
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: industry is there is no incentives. You know. I just

779
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: I'm redoing some turf in my backyard and the guy

780
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: was kind of a go getter salesman came out and

781
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: we started talking about the business, and he clearly gets incentivized.

782
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: The more jobs he bids and sells, and more turf

783
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: he sales, the more money. So he's incentive. I's to

784
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of hustle, right, He there's a big difference between

785
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: he could make hundreds of thousands of dollars more by

786
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: working way harder. There is no incentive as a scout.

787
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: You could be the worst scout alive, and if the

788
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: GM and the head coach likes you, you're on scholarship,

789
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: you could be an awesome scout. And if the head

790
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: coach or GM doesn't like you, or you piss off

791
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: the owner or something, you get fired. So, you know,

792
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: the salaries vary depending on how long you've been in

793
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: the league. You could start anywhere from sixty seventy eighty

794
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: K to guys making hundreds of thousands of dollars as

795
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: an area scout, but on the road, constantly working long days.

796
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: There's no clocking in or clocking out. You're kind of

797
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: always on call. It's I always thought, Now, once you

798
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: become like the GM, obviously it's it's pretty glamorous, but

799
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: it's not a glamorous job. Now, once you become the

800
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 1: three or the two and you're making five hundred grand,

801
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: eight hundred grand, obviously you make a lot of money.

802
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: But I know a lot of people that work in

803
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: a tack or whatever that make a lot of money,

804
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: that have weekends off year round, that can go on

805
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: vacations whenever they want. You know, that's not the way

806
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: football works. It's obviously really busy during the fall, and

807
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: then your season starts. Once the season ends, the All

808
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: Star Games, the Combine, the Pro Days, the draft, So

809
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean your only downtime is really like June in

810
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of July. But even then you're watching

811
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: players to get ready for the fall. So it's it's

812
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: a grind for sure. The Steelers are stuck in no

813
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: man's land after nearly twenty years. I think they need

814
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: to move on from Mike. Beyond that, this team has

815
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot of problems in an inconsistent offensive line, no

816
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: long term quarterback solution, no credible wide receiver outside of Metcalf,

817
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: and expensive defensive lead guys. Yeah, I think the GM

818
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: I would think about getting rid of him too. I mean,

819
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: if the Ravens win on Thursday night and they're seven

820
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: to five and the Steelers lose the Bills, it would

821
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: feel like they started one in five. Can you imagine

822
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: being a Steeler fan and if this year ends and

823
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: you lose the division by multiple games and missed the playoffs.

824
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 1: We were four and one, they were one and five.

825
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: How did this happen? It's like, well, you started playing

826
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: better teams. You're not very good. Your roster isn't that good.

827
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: Unless TJ plays like Miles Garrett every game, you're just

828
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: not gonna have a chance. You traded a second round

829
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: pick for DK Metcalf. Dk Metcalf's is two I mean

830
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: that's what he is. You paid him one hundred and

831
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. It's one of the worst personnel moves

832
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: I remember in recent memory, because even if with George Pickens,

833
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: cow wasn't pay them. It was a risky move and

834
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: it's obviously paid dividends. But they gave what second or

835
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: third round pick for a guy on a rookie contract.

836
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: Now they can't choose to pay him now. But like

837
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: if the Steelers had traded a third round pick for

838
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and not extended him and he was just

839
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: playing on his previous contract, would they extend him right now?

840
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: And the answer would be no. Being a Bears fan,

841
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: with all the hype in the media has been portraying

842
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: on them since the Bengals game, I truly believe we

843
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: can go four and two in our final four games.

844
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: Ben and the coaching staff have proven week in week

845
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: out that they can pull off close wins. Haters well

846
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: hate and think this is some same old Bears, even

847
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 1: after beating the Steelers yesterday who have a winning record,

848
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: But the Bears can't control that. Johnson has shown improvement

849
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: in game management, along with Caleb showing massive improvements in

850
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: his overall performance. Our defense isn't one hundred percent healthy,

851
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: and our linebackers JJ and Kyler we still so basically

852
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: just wanted to get your insight. Yeah, I mean, I

853
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: don't think the Bears are going away now. Do I

854
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be easy against the Packers and Alliance?

855
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't. But in the Eagles, I think if you

856
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles and I get the Eagles are a

857
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: little weird this year, no one can say shit. I mean,

858
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: the Eagles are coming off of devastating loss the games

859
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. If you win that game, you're head to

860
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, whether you beat the forty nine Ers or not,

861
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: because you'll probably split with the Packers. So I'd feel

862
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: pretty good if I were you. Hey, John, question for

863
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: the bag. Jalen has taking a lot of heat right

864
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: now for the way the Eagles offensive performing, but schematically,

865
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: he truly is receiving no help. The film Breakdown shows

866
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: the receivers are running the same two or three routes

867
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: every play, thus gaining no separation as the defense knows

868
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: exactly what's coming. I've heard it described by those who

869
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: understand schematics as absolutely elementary. It's not unfair to place

870
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: that at the feet of Jalen when we've seen how

871
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: garbage Patullo's schemes are. I think it's a combination of both. Like,

872
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: clearly this offensive coordinator is a downgrade over what they had,

873
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: and all signs point to Jalen not pulling the trigger

874
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: when sometimes you can push the envelope. He will just

875
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: always take the safer out. And I think there's clearly

876
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: a human element of Aj and him. I don't care

877
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: who you are and how professional you are and how

878
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: much money you make. If you get into a business

879
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: situation where a guy that relies on you and a

880
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: guy you rely on don't like each other, don't respect

881
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: each other because listen, we don't like a lot of

882
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: people that we do business with, Welcome to life. But

883
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: if I don't respect you and he doesn't respect me,

884
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: which I think it's fair to say that at this point,

885
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't care what they say. It's got to throw

886
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: you off. That would throw you off in a normal

887
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: business setting, definitely on the field. So I think the

888
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: situation with Aj Brown has just has just kind of

889
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: bled in. The problem was he's so talented, you still

890
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of need him if you want to try to

891
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and they kind of just got

892
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: stuck in a situation where they couldn't pivot off of them.

893
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people

894
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: bear blame. At the end of the day. This is

895
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, I get your Philly and you guys are

896
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: get angry, but you're you did win the super Bowl.

897
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: You know you're the defending super Bowl champs. I do

898
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: think you probably thought early in the season, like, we'll

899
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: go back to back, still possible. You beat the Bears

900
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: and still right ahead of you. The Cowboys game doesn't

901
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: just end your season. You know you can go thirteen

902
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: and four. You're gonna lose a couple of games. Losing

903
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: at Dallas is not the crazy his game to lose.

904
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: So let's just watch a couple more weeks of the

905
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: Eagles before we completely write them off as screwed. Audios,

906
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: have a great day. The volume M
