His brother 82 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: also played in the NFL for a while. Just I 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: mean one of the royal families of the NFL, the Mannings, 84 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: the Watts, the Boss and the Schwartz. 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: The Kelsey's and the Kees. I asked miss to do 86 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: a podcast with me, and he wouldn't do it, so, 87 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: you know, he he he, And I basically, well, I 88 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: retired twenty sixteen. It's been a while, you know. When 89 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: he was basically done playing in twenty twenty, I was like, dude, like, 90 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: let's start the podcast. Look, let's do it. 91 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: Uh. 92 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: Now, we're probably never gonna be the Kelsey brothers were 93 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: not as cool, and you know, obviously what who Travis 94 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: is dating certainly has helped that podcast skyrocket even more. 95 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: But we were never going to be those guys. They're 96 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: very you know, charismatic, and but I thought we could 97 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: have some sort of accessible podcast. You didn't want to do it. 98 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: I tried. I tried, Man, you didn't want to do it. 99 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is you were seventh round pick. 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: He was a second round pick. You were a much 101 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: bigger recruit coming out of high school, yes, than he was. 102 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: Is that fair to say? 103 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: Well, it depends, like I think my I had I 104 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 3: had I had probably bigger schools sort of on the 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: West Coast recruit me. Yeah, so USC. So I was 106 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: a four F class four and USC at that time 107 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 3: was rolling, obviously, and they were actually the most honest. 108 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: They were the most honest with me them in Oregon, 109 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: where I ended up going US. He told me that 110 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: if I was not getting a scholarship offer and that 111 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: I had to wait to see if someone else committed. 112 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: If that person did not commit, John that give me 113 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: the offer. And at that time, look, my parents are 114 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: used used to the alumni. I went to brewing game 115 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: as a kid. I despised USC. I would have gone 116 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: to USC. They're a number one in the country, Like 117 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: you just go, I think US. He couldn't offer players 118 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: like they do now because they would commit immediately. Like 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: if they offered me, I'd be like, yes, I'm coming, 120 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: I'm coming. Yes, yes, I'm like like no, no, no, 121 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: don't take the offer. I'm coming right now. I just 122 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: run down there right to USC, of course. And so 123 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: they told me they were waiting for another player to commit. 124 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: That player committed about mid October and they let me 125 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: go and edwar Jeron called me every Monday at seven 126 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: twenty without fail. And eventually they're like yeah, I think 127 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: it was Jeff Byers, who was Gatoray Player of the 128 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: Year that color out of that year. He had went 129 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: to NFL for a little bit, and so yeah, I 130 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 3: didn't make it to USC, but I look, I probably 131 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: probably would have gone if they asked me to. I mean, 132 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: that's how big they were. My brother was being recruited 133 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: by a lot of the academic schools, like Virginia was 134 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: one of them. Cal obviously stand for like he was 135 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 3: and so used to be obviously very very bright. It 136 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: was a different Ara back then, too, right, I mean 137 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: that was the beginning when my time was the beginning 138 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: of the camps, right, like you just you didn't go 139 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: to camp, you know. I went to a USC camp 140 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: at UCLA camp. There weren't these big rivals camps, and 141 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: Elite eleven was kind of slowly starting at that time 142 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 3: as well for the quarterbacks and skill with skill guys. 143 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: You know, it was such a different time. But Mitch 144 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: was he had more national based schools after him, a 145 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: lot of for his academics and his play. I had, 146 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: you know, a lot of regional schools. I had schools. 147 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: It's funny. I had schools call me, uh and they 148 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: would be like, look, man, I know not coming here, 149 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: but if you want to, just call us back. Like 150 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: there were some schools that I think Arizona State was 151 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 3: one of. They were just say, hey, we like you, like. 152 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: We take you. 153 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: You're probably not coming here, but if you want to, 154 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: just like call us back and you can commit to 155 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 3: Arizona State. 156 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: When I got to Fresno State, I don't even know 157 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: if this rule if it is still allowed. For like 158 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: three or four days, we would have a high school 159 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: camp where they would be in full paths and like 160 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: I swear to God, like fifteen schools came Bishop Gorman, 161 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: who became a powerhouse in Vegas, and it was pretty incredible. 162 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: You would like offer guys side guys. Obviously there were 163 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: also some highly touted guys, but it would be full 164 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: on jamborees and scrimmages. I'm pretty sure that does not 165 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: exist anymore. But like when your brother went to cal Yeah, 166 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a young you know in your 167 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: early twenties, Cow has been pretty bad for a while. 168 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: They were really good when when you were in college, 169 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: Entertip for like loaded, they had every bit as the 170 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: NFL talent as your teams in Oregon did. 171 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, you know even now Cal. I look, I 172 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: haven't looked in a couple of years, but Cal was 173 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: like top ten for just NFL players. Like they've had 174 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: a lot of They've had a lot of NFL players. 175 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: And it's also too like when you and you know 176 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: Cal very well, I know Caw, Like it's it's odd 177 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 3: that they had characters like Marshaun Lynch and de Shawn 178 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 3: Jackson there, You're like, that doesn't really fit, like how 179 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: how is Let's just say, but they dude, they've had 180 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: so many talented players. I mean I played against Brandon 181 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: Mee Baine, who was a de tackle who played ten 182 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 3: years NFL. I didn't play against Cam Jordan, but he's 183 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: still in the NFL. You know, he's gonna be a 184 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame pass rusher, I would imagine. I mentioned 185 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: Marshaun Lynch and Toshean Jackson and Aaron Rodgers obviously, Javid 186 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: Best and and Shane Veren. Alex Mack played offensive line 187 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 3: for so many years, Like they've had these guys that, oh, 188 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: you're right, yeah, Kean Allen was yeah, Keen Allen was there. 189 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: I mean, they've had so many players over the years, 190 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 3: come out of that program. Jared Goff's who's still kicking ass, right? 191 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: I mean two Super Bowl appearances. 192 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: And he was ted he was a Tedford recruit. 193 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: And then at the very end, yeah, at the very end. Yeah, 194 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: and it just it just they just have never won 195 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: quite that way with all the pro talent they had, 196 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: their offensive lines when I was there, they were the 197 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: offense lives were good. I mean they had multiple guys 198 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: a year ago in the NFL. 199 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: You know, by the time this plays, it'll probably be 200 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: a week plus away from the Rory choke job. But 201 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: I was thinking about choke jobs in football, and you 202 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: and I are basically the same age. When we were young. 203 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: You know, before Peyton won the Super Bowl, I was 204 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 1: a big Manning fan. It felt like he got a 205 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: little tight and he was basically the offensive coordinator too. 206 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 207 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: But like last year the Ravens, I mean they choked that, 208 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: but to me it was as much on like Todd 209 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Munkin was pretty awful in that game, equally as Lamar. 210 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: And you go back to when the Bills choked that 211 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: thirteen seconds. I think in football, when you choke, I 212 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: mean Kyle Shanahan still wears the Atlanta fol because twenty 213 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: eight three, it's like almost more on the coaches, or 214 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: as much on the coach or the play caller as 215 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: much as it is on the players. We're in the NBA, 216 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: if you choke, it's kind of on the player or 217 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: baseball screw up, like in football, do you think that's fair, 218 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: Like the coach bears a lot of brunt there. 219 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: I was actually thinking about this in different sports the 220 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: other day after the Rory thing, because you know, it's 221 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: so it's such an individual sport obviously, right that in 222 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: golf that you can very clearly see the failures and 223 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: who they're on, right, And in basketball again, people have 224 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: the ball in their hand. You know. You go to 225 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 3: this MAVs Celtics series, like Tyrie just didn't play well. 226 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: He didn't choke, but it's very clear to see like Kyrie, No, 227 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: they don't. I don't know they win the title anyways, 228 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 3: but Kyrie basically no, showing three games in Boston doesn't 229 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 3: help you win, Like, it's very clear to see, and. 230 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: I think they wouldn't have They wouldn't have been in 231 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: the finals if he had played like that all the playoffs, 232 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: no chance. 233 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 3: I mean that he had sixty points him and Luca 234 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: combined some nights in the Western Conference finals. And also too, 235 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 3: I think that a lot of us don't exactly know 236 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: the importance of a basketball coach or a baseball manager, 237 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: football coach. It feels very obvious to see the influence 238 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 3: they have on a game, whether it's play call, whether 239 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: it's you know, Mike Tomlan just having his team each 240 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 3: and every year ready to play every game, right, Like, 241 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: you see the effect that coach has. Where I think 242 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: in the NBA, the Boston Southers coach was mocked John 243 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: for like eighteen straight months and then one of the 244 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: like the last three months, they're like, oh, you've sort 245 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: of figured it out. Even Boston fans are like, I 246 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: don't know if this guy's the guy. He would never 247 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: in the NFL. If you if coach Wind a Super Bowl, 248 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 3: you would be like, I don't know, man, he might 249 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 3: not be. You'd be like, hell, yeah, good job, coach. 250 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: He got a huge extension. Are you making fifteen million 251 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: dollars a year? 252 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: Yes, And so it's just different. So I think I 253 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: think when you look at choke jobs, it certainly feels 254 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 3: like it's an NFL. Look, I've been on the side 255 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: of that in twenty thirteen where Kansas City and we 256 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 3: were up thirty eight ten to the third quarter of 257 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 3: a playoff game, and no one blames the players. Everyone 258 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: just blames Dandy Reid like it's Danny Reid's fault. And 259 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 3: so you know, Andy Reid had that tag for a 260 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: long time too, Right, couldn't win the big game, choked 261 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: in those moments. Here's why I think, at least offensively, 262 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: I think what happens in a lot of these moments, 263 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: right John, coaches get paid on the offense side of 264 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 3: the ball to pass the football. No one gets the 265 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: only one I think right now in the NFL who 266 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: gets paid to like run the balls College Shanahan. No 267 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: one else wants to write. They get paid as an 268 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: ocs a head coach because of their of their offensive 269 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: play designs to pass the ball down the field. And 270 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 3: when things get a little tight in games, what do 271 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: you do? What do you do in life when things 272 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: get difficult, you go back to what you know, right, 273 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 3: And so when things get difficult in games, coaches go 274 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: back to what they know. They throw the football. Like 275 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 3: in twenty thirteen, in that Chiefs game, we're thirty eight ten, 276 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: all way to De John was to run the football. 277 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: I think every play the second half and we win 278 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 3: that game, like there's no doubt about it. 279 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: Who is your running back? 280 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: Well, so Jamal Charles got hurt in that game, and 281 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: then our backup got hurt. So on our Thursday running back, 282 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 3: we were still averaging a good amount on the ground 283 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 3: for moving guys off the ball. We passed the ball 284 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: too much. There was a strip sack like it just 285 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: went it went downhill fast. And I think when the 286 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: Ravens specifically in that game, you know they the Chiefs 287 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 3: scored fourteen points really fast, and I think they thought 288 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 3: themselves like, oh shit, got to keep up. We don't 289 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: keep up, and he just got into this mode where 290 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 3: like we got to pass the ball, pass the ball, 291 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: pass the ball. It's like, no, the Chiefs pass defense 292 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: is good. Run the football. And I think coaches at 293 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 3: times get gets sort of go back to what they know, 294 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: which is most often on offense is running as assume 295 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 3: he's passing the football. And that's what happens to a 296 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: lot of coaches in those moments. And again in the NBA, 297 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 3: it's hard to tell, Like I don't know it was 298 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: Jason Kidd's fault the MAVs lost. It's not his fault 299 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 3: that Kyrie didn't play well, it's not his fault. PJ. 300 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: Washington basically like really anyone I said of Luca right, Like, 301 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: it's not Is it Kid's fault that Luca didn't play defense? No, 302 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: So that's why I think it's it's so hard to 303 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: pin that on baseball managers and basketball coaches. 304 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: Well, you've been around these coaches on game day. In 305 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: my experience, I'm around him during the week, but on 306 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: game days, you know, I'm sitting in a box or whatever. 307 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: And obviously, now what I do. The Ravens game is 308 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: a good example. And I had a buddy that's on 309 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: the it was on the raven staff who's now somewhere 310 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: else in the league, said that he's like he loves 311 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: Lamar because obviously this year, I mean, he played fucking 312 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: Lamar in the defense. They were awesome. Is it was 313 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: like we were playing Tiger Woods. He birdies the first 314 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: couple of holes and then Lamar starts pressing. But he's 315 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: like all Munkin had to do the previous game. Josh 316 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: Allen ran wild on the Chiefs. Yep, right, it's like 317 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: and then remember there was an early like fourth and 318 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: one where Lamar busted one for twenty five. It's like, 319 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: just let him run. But then they just kept calling 320 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: pass plays. You could tell Lamar got tight, he didn't 321 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: play well. But like that to me is on Mounken 322 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: as much as any you feel these coaches, like could 323 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: you sense a coach get tight in the way he's 324 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: calling a game or or even his mannerisms on the 325 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: sideline in the College of pros. 326 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 3: I've never felt that as a player. Now, I think 327 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: there are times when as a player I've thought to 328 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: myself like, that's a bad play call, which is human nature. 329 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: Like there's certany times I've been in the huddle like that, Okay, 330 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 3: sure we'll run that play. It ain't gonna work. And 331 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: it wasn't when Andy Reider, like you know, with Tom 332 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 3: call Fling, another coach I play with, where I'm like, 333 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 3: holy heck, that's just a dumb play. It's not gonna work. 334 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: But I only have ever felt that coaches in the 335 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 3: moment have sort of called a bad game or because 336 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: you look as a player, you have confidence that everything's 337 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: gonna work. Outside the A few times I mentioned and 338 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 3: so you never think to yourself in that moment, like, man, 339 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: they plus two is an offensive lineman. You know, you 340 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: you don't in during the game, you're not privy to 341 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: like the coverages teams are playing for the most part, right, 342 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 3: I know, like where the safeties are a pre staff, 343 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 3: But I'm not paying attention. Oh is this cover three? 344 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: Cover two? Is this quarters or six or eight or whatever? 345 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: Like I'm up. It doesn't matter to you a little bit. 346 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: It matters to me, but not a lot. But then 347 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: like on Mondays we're watching film, it's like the offensive 348 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: line coach would throw a dick, you know, like cover three. Man, 349 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: like we we have an answer, we just didn't do it. Guys, 350 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you know, like that type of thing you 351 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 3: don't know, sort of like in the moment whether or 352 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: not coaches quote nquote choke it away. And you learned 353 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 3: a lot of that on Mondays. 354 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: What's the loudest you've ever been yelled at? 355 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 3: Oh? Man, okay, I'll tell you the story. So, oh, 356 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 3: this is I only ever told a story before. John 357 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 3: Matskow was our offensive line coach one year with the 358 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: Panthers in twenty eleven. I was he stayed for a 359 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 3: long time. Uh. He's actually a really good offensive line coach, 360 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: which makes sort of some the way he is sometimes interesting. 361 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 3: But he was big into like he liked to fight. 362 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: He's an old school coach. He coached in you know, 363 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: the the Rams, the super Bowl winning fastest show on 364 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 3: turf Ram. He's coached a long time in the NFL, 365 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: John and he's old school guy. He liked he liked 366 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 3: to fight in practice, like that was his thing. Like 367 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 3: he wanted like one a day, right, And I'm not 368 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 3: a big fight guy. I've been in a couple of them, 369 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: but I wasn't playing well all right in camp and 370 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: I ended up having a back injury that we found 371 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: out a couple of weeks later. And so him like, 372 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna start a fight today to 373 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 3: get on my coach's good side. Okay, So start a fight. 374 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 3: It goes like a fight does whatever, and like you know, 375 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 3: you could tell like afterwards he was like at a 376 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: boy shorts like good job, okay. And we get to 377 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 3: the meeting room and you know this on film, maybe 378 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 3: you have a different film than we get because you 379 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: might get a different cut than we get. As a scout, 380 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 3: but they don't show the fights on film. They just 381 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 3: they don't. 382 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: Do that right play in and then they cut it. 383 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: So all you see on this play is I'm blocking 384 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: the linebacker as Dan Connor, good buddy of mine when 385 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,719 Speaker 3: I play with the NFL. We drafted the same year, 386 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: and I take him and I after playlot like, I 387 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: shove him light right, like very clearly, like fu like 388 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: let's get after it. I turn around to walk away. 389 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: He shoves me in the back and the film cuts off. 390 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 3: Now everyone knew that we started a huge fight. It 391 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 3: happened well, Mattsko for some reason. Man, he cussed me out. 392 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: I had They're been cussed out of mind, higher life 393 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 3: because he said I didn't I didn't fight him. He 394 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 3: didn't see that fight in me. And I was like, 395 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: I was so angry because he clearly knew I was. 396 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: I fought him, he saw it happen. He was calling 397 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 3: me all sorts of names, and I was like, in 398 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 3: the point of tears, I was so angry John, because like, 399 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 3: I did what you wanted me to do. I thought, 400 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 3: I don't ever do this. I did it to get 401 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 3: on your good side. And then afterwards he did he 402 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 3: did the thing where he's like, hey, short, stay after 403 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 3: the meeting, okay, and he pulls me aside, he goes, 404 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 3: you know, I know you fought that guy. I just 405 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 3: did that for effect for like the rest of the room. 406 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: I was like, what, bro, what are we doing? So 407 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 3: I even I got cussed out for something that I 408 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 3: didn't even do wrong I did. I fought the guy. 409 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 3: I did what he asked me to do. Otherwise I 410 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: had never got like cussed out like that much. Personally. 411 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: I think I had played in the NFL for so long. 412 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 3: I put eight years. I was hurt a bunch and 413 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 3: a lot of guys in my in my you know, 414 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: seventh round pick don't play as long as I did 415 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 3: with all the injuries unless you're like a good teammate, right, 416 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: unless you're a guy that can be trust in the 417 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: locker room, a guy that coach can put you in. 418 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: And look, I wasn't the best player, John, but I 419 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: did make the coach look stupid right like I did. 420 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 3: So coaches never had a reason to yell at me, 421 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: like yeah, coaches get angry and that you know, you 422 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: get up a sacker at a mental air, but like 423 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: that wasn't my game. I didn't make mental errors. I 424 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: might have gotten beat. That happens, right, it's football. But 425 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: I never gave a coach a reason to really cuss 426 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: me out, you know, like there was never a point 427 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: where like they felt they had to say that to me, 428 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: and I was a you could talk to me, like 429 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 3: we get a conversation, you have to cuss me out. 430 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: I get to your point if you just talk. So 431 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 3: I think coaches sort of never got to a point 432 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 3: where I ever had to be yelled at that way. 433 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 3: And the one time I got yelled at that way, 434 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 3: I actually did what I was supposed to do, which 435 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 3: is the guy pushed me later and we started a 436 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 3: fighting practice. 437 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: That's what I think is the hard part about the 438 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: draft season for so many people to talk about it 439 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: like having seen both sides and listen, I love talking 440 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: about it as much as the next guy, But unless 441 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: you know the wiring of the guy like that is 442 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: such a huge factor because most teams, like most players 443 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: in the NFL aren't doing things like Deebo Samuel or 444 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: Tyreek like most of the players are just solid guys, 445 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: like solid starters, and the intelligence how coaches, you know, 446 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: gravitate towards you how you act, just like, are you easy? 447 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't need to worry about you. Is something that 448 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: never gets talked about on the outside and gets talked 449 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: about all the time. 450 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: On the inside. You know, Yeah, I mean it's I 451 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 3: actually asked a college coach to this recently, like, how 452 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 3: do you recruit these kids because you know it's a 453 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 3: different time now with with college kids. He said, exactly 454 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 3: what you said. He goes, I try to understand who 455 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 3: they are because I need a certain type of guy 456 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 3: in my team. And that's the hardest part is figuring 457 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 3: out who the player is outside of football. I can 458 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 3: watch all these highlights. I know who they are as 459 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 3: a player, as a player on the field, But how 460 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: do I figure out if they're gonna fit in my 461 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: locker room? How I'm gonna figure out they're gonna be 462 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 3: able to fight and battle and clawn do things I 463 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 3: have to do or I have to get them, dude, 464 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: to win a championship. And yeah, like you don't you 465 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: don't know the makeup, but I will say it. I 466 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 3: mean all the background stuff now these guys do. I mean, 467 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: I feel like they sort of know, right. 468 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: I mean they yeah, they have a pretty good idea 469 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and there's. 470 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: Very there's you know, you were I think you would 471 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 3: have been in Philly when when Watkins was drafted right 472 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 3: the offensive lineman. 473 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: But it's it's a bad intel on that one. 474 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's but John, like it's I think it's 475 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 3: just hard to know. Like it's really like I I 476 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 3: think as much as you try to know, guys come 477 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 3: in the league and it's hard to play professional sports, 478 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: and some guys get they just break it is. It 479 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 3: is what it is. And you might think you know 480 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 3: and and then you don't. And but I certainly think 481 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 3: I always tell like young players, like my advice is 482 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 3: to basically just be liked, you know, like make sure 483 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 3: that people in the building like you, because that that 484 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: does go a long way. And the people in the 485 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 3: NFL talk like if you again, if you're a fringe 486 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: player and they like you, you might stick around a 487 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 3: little bit longer or they tell someone else, you know 488 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 3: then and if you're an asshole and you can't play 489 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: football here out of there immediately no one know. There 490 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: are guys you know this, there's players now that when 491 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 3: you when you think to yourself, like why is that 492 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 3: player not signed? They don't enough money personality, they don't 493 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 3: like their personality. 494 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: I think that's like good life advice. I would even 495 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: add b liked and try hard, Like if people feel 496 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: like you're giving everything you have and trying hard and 497 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: you're well liked, Like obviously you have, you know, to 498 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: get the NFL, you have to have the talent, but 499 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna stick around longer than the guy. Yeah, we 500 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: kind of like him and we don't even think he's 501 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: working very hard because you know, like this time right now, right, 502 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: most teams have give or take forty days off. I 503 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: would imagine most, especially veteran guys, younger players who knows, 504 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: but like Christian McCaffrey's working out today, right, Patrick Mahomes 505 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: Like you just TJ Watt, you know, I mean this 506 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: is very very serious. How you take how you approach this. 507 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 3: Well, John, I find it so funny. I think guys 508 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 3: are doing it less and less now. But you see 509 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: players like be like rising grind in the off season. 510 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 3: I'm like Buddy Russ, job that your job is just 511 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 3: to work out, Like it ain't that hard, ain't that deep, 512 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 3: Like get your two hour workout in, get your recovery in, 513 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: eat right today and do it again tomorrow.

But it's not that deep. 519 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: It's not like Rising Grind and like I'm in the 520 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: factory at six am, Like that's your actual job.

It's not like so, yes, 524 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 3: our job is to make sure that that we train 525 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 3: to play football. And it does take a couple of 526 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: years to figure out what that path is, right, A 527 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: lot you know, as a young player, you know you 528 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 3: you feel great. As a young player, you don't think 529 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: you need any any help and you know, but as 530 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 3: you get older, you figure out you know your path. 531 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: You find a t and you like a workout facility, 532 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: you find a nutritionist you like or you know, some 533 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 3: sort of meal program, you find a react person you like, 534 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: and but you have to you have to put in 535 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: the work, right, I mean, I think a lot of 536 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 3: players figure that out as they go, because I think 537 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: a lot of us when we're young, like you think 538 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 3: you know, and then you have a year or you 539 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 3: have a game when you just get your your butt 540 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 3: kicked and you figure out like, oh that doesn't work, 541 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: I gotta try something else, and then the guys that 542 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: adapt the best figure it out. 543 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: I've heard you tell this story before, but obviously you 544 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: played for Andy Reid, your brother played for him for 545 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: a long time. Is like after a win or a loss, 546 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: you know all these stories about Belichick. The way he 547 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: handles his meetings cussing guys out and just being Andy 548 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: is would you say, pretty consistent and normal and not 549 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: a huge overreactor win or loose any game. 550 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: Dude, it's one minute team meetings. It's like the absolute best. 551 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 3: He has a note card. I have no card here, 552 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: just has a no card. He just like picks it 553 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 3: up and he goes that region too. That's it. Like 554 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 3: he reads off. He's like, all right, guys, well we 555 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 3: lost got you know, gotta play better next time. Talk 556 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 3: to your coaches about it. Okay, we got practice in 557 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 3: an hour. Tomorrow's off. Make sure you get your body 558 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 3: worked on, all right? Ready, break like that's it. That 559 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: was it. The longest meeting we ever had was the 560 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 3: first one of training camp, which is like the compliance media, 561 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 3: and then that was it. Like and that's why I 562 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 3: think players appreciate but Andy Reid, there's a lot of 563 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 3: things players appreciate, but it's the consistency, which the way 564 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 3: he handles his business right, and I think he treats 565 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 3: us like it sounds cliche, but like professionals, right, like 566 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: we know we lost, Like we know we lost John. 567 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 3: We no one wants to lose. Losing sucks no one. 568 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 3: That's that's the worst thing can happen in the building, right, 569 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 3: Like every everyone in the building is affected when you lose, 570 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: from the lowest person at the entire organization to the 571 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: general manager, the ownership. When everyone in that building is 572 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: depressed for days. If you lose, like it stings to lose. 573 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 3: We know that, we know that we had played poorly 574 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: or if someone made a mistake, like there's no point 575 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: in and look, there's different ways. Obviously the Belichick way 576 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: worked for so many years, but you know it only 577 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 3: works by the way if you win. If you lose 578 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 3: and you act like that, you lose your locker room immediately. 579 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 3: But Andy Reid was just very consistent with that message, 580 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 3: right like, we're gonna work. You know, he is a 581 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 3: I think a misconception, but Andy Reid is that he 582 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 3: works the players. 583 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: Man. 584 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: It's a little bit different now when different rules for 585 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: training camp and different rules for practice. But you know this, man, 586 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 3: when I got signed by the Chiefs of twenty thirteen, 587 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 3: we didn't have double this. I got a call from 588 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: a couple of Eagles I knew, and they're like, be ready, buddy, 589 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 3: be ready for training camp. I'm like, what do you 590 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 3: mean be ready? He goes, just just be ready for 591 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 3: training camp. And this is with single practices, and I 592 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: was like, and I got there. I had a couple 593 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 3: of I'm like, I text those guys like, yep, you 594 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 3: were right. Like and it's after he hits He's still 595 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: live tackles in practice and training camp, which like, can 596 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 3: you imagine if Kyle Shanahan live tackled in practice like 597 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 3: you and these guys. No, Andy Reid does goal he 598 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 3: does goal line live tackling drills in training camp. There's 599 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 3: the reason why their team starts fast every season, like 600 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: because they hit a training cap. He plays as starters 601 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: in the preseason, which some coaches would think it is 602 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 3: the dumbest thing of all time, But you know, he 603 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 3: he just he's very consistent on who he is. He 604 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 3: sticks to his word about what he tells us he's 605 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: going to do, and players really appreciate him for that. 606 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the misconception obviously he's people love him 607 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: players coach in the sense that he's relationship with guys. 608 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: But when it comes to practice, the other thing is 609 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: if you're on the fence, injured or not, like you 610 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: better be praxicing. 611 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 3: You know. 612 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well it's it's see. That is kind of 613 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: where they separate, not in the like Tom Coughlin, who 614 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: obviously is a very successful coach. His was his meeting 615 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: after a lost a little different vibe. 616 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he had longer team meetings though his were 617 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 3: like thirty minutes long, so it was it was always 618 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: a little different. He would sort of like to, you know, 619 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 3: go through the game and would show plays and whatnot 620 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 3: of bad things that happened. And you know, he wasn't 621 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: he didn't individually kind of call out players like Belichick. 622 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 3: That that's a very Belichick thing, like the individual call 623 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: out players. And you've heard Everyone turned stories about about 624 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: those those the locker rooms, in those meetings, but Cofflin 625 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: was was fire. He had long team meetings like thirty minutes. 626 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: Uh he did on Wednesdays, but you know his game 627 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 3: plan day he he basically was in charge of doing 628 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 3: the full scouting report. He got up in there and 629 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 3: told us everything about the team we were playing. Where 630 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 3: again Andy Reid left the law dout to his position coach. 631 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 3: It was probably why a lot of his coaches are 632 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: good or good NFL head coaches john because he gave 633 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: a lot of responsibilities to do that other coaches just 634 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 3: don't give their coaches. Yeah, Coughlin, couflin dude, he's he's 635 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 3: just so different than he is the media, like behind 636 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 3: the scenes man, just like a just most coaches are. 637 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: But it's very striking with Cofflin. You would hear him 638 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: talk to the media and then he talking to the 639 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: team and you meet with them individually. It was just 640 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: so different. I loved it. It was it was that 641 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 3: kind of side that you only saw in the locker room. 642 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: Isn't it funny that leading up to the draft, everyone's 643 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: like Chargers wide receiver. It's like, guys, have you followed 644 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: this man's career, Like, do you understand, Like they had 645 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: four guys to make decisions on. They figured out a 646 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: way to keep the two d linemen and got rid 647 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: of the two wide receivers. Jim Harbor is a quarterback 648 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: who thinks he's like a hybrid linebacker, pass rusher, offensive lineman. 649 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: He doesn't talk or operate like a quarterback. I go 650 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: back and forth, like, obviously they have high end guys 651 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: to get injured a lot, even with Max or Ma's 652 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: been a little more consistent. But Joey Bosa, if they 653 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: keep those guys, I do wonder if they're gonna be 654 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: I mean, are they a playoff team, because clearly he 655 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: wants to take a little pressure off justin I don't 656 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if their running game is gonna be 657 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: good enough to do what he wants to do this year. 658 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: But they are clearly gonna be a lot better. 659 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: They're gonna be better because they're gonna just be way 660 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: more structured, you know, like they're gonna have structure about 661 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 3: the way they play. I felt like Staley at times. 662 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: I know you're not the biggest fan of Staley either, 663 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: Like it just felt very unstructured, right, like sort of 664 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: just guessing in those fourth downs, like there was no 665 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 3: rhyme or is into some of his decisions. And Harbor's 666 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 3: gonna have a structure to what he does. He's gonna 667 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 3: have a reason for everything. And part of playing for 668 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 3: Harbaugh is trusting him because he's won. But he's won everywhere. 669 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: He wanted San Diego, he wanted Stanford, he wanted it 670 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: with the forty nine Ers, he wanted Michigan, and so 671 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 3: there's a trust factor there with knowing that whatever he 672 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: tells you is gonna work because it has in the past. 673 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: The thing about the draft people have to understand this 674 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 3: sometimes is you sometimes have to look at at the 675 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: first round pick through the lens of the rest of 676 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: the draft. 677 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: Right. 678 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 3: So for the Chargers it was it was either like 679 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 3: Alt and Maconkey whoever was there, sort of top of 680 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 3: round two, or like Neighbors and the next best tackle 681 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: in the first and the end of the first you 682 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 3: mean the top of the second round, the next best 683 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 3: tackle was not very good at that point. Like the 684 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: tackles went in the first round and not gone the 685 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 3: third round, they're all gone. So like getting Joe Alt 686 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: and McConkey is better than neighbors and whoever you might 687 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 3: get top of the second round. Like you look at 688 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 3: the draft sometimes the way that teams have the board 689 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 3: stacked up right, So in two the wide receiver position. 690 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: Now you can find guys all through the draft like 691 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 3: fifth round, sixth round, fourth round, third, right, you don't 692 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 3: offensive line for the most part is a top round 693 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 3: guy like Joe Alt. You're not finding Joe Walt in 694 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 3: the third round. You're not, So it makes sense to 695 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 3: go off. It's a line there, and I think they're 696 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 3: gonna be just more consistent. But you're playing at the 697 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 3: AFC is just so tough man like. It's it's feels 698 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 3: tough for them to get maybe a seven seed, six 699 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: to seven seed at best. Are gonna look at there? 700 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 3: Are you think? 701 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: No? I'm saying you probably got to yeah, eleven to 702 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: feel good about your playoffs chance. 703 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't. I probably don't think they're they're 704 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 3: there in year one. I certainly think in year two 705 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 3: and three and four move forward, they're just gonna be 706 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 3: again a lot more consistent. 707 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: My thing with Alt and just tack general and you 708 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: and I text about this. Guys that are that tall. 709 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: It can be difficult. But I I texted with a 710 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: buddy who was drafted in the top ten and they 711 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: worked him out. He's like, I'm telling you, this guy 712 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: so athletic and ben, we don't think it's an issue 713 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: at all. And to me, if Harball loves him, might 714 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: maybe just this individual doesn't bother me as much. Probably 715 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: falls under more Colton Miller. Tall guy, but such a 716 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: good athlete. And this guy's a better player coming out 717 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: of college than Colton Miller. Clearly. 718 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, the tall thing is sort of interesting. My buddy, 719 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 3: dude Manyweather, who turns off into alignment be'st kuy in 720 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 3: the country to do so in Dallas, he talks about 721 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: it like hip height rather than just like overall height 722 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 3: of the player, right, Like what what hip pipe do 723 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 3: they play at? Right? So like are they you know, 724 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 3: because that obviously means a lot, you know, we hear like, 725 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 3: you know, wastebender, knee bender, right, So like just hiphipe. 726 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 3: If a guy Joe All plays, when he plays, his 727 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 3: hips are in a good height for his body size. 728 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 3: He's not too high, not too where his helmet is correct, Yeah, 729 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. The thing about big tall players like 730 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,719 Speaker 3: him too, that it's really tough for evaluators. I had 731 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 3: this conversation with with people as well. It's like, when 732 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 3: you're that big, you're not explosive on film. You're just not. 733 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: His arms and legs are so long that he's not 734 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 3: going to be a violent puncher. He's just that's not 735 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 3: who he is. And even though something about the tallest 736 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 3: players like Colin Miller is not a violent puncher type 737 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 3: of guy. Even a guy like John Ogden, like guy 738 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 3: six ' nine, he wasn't a guy when you watch 739 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 3: him play and you're like that guy punches a hole 740 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 3: through a guy he was, Yeah, he just was like ooom, 741 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 3: like when his hands were on you, like you were 742 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 3: done right. And so Alt is not going to be 743 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 3: a guy when you watch him play and think like, man, 744 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: that's an explosive puncher because he's too long to be 745 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 3: to be that explosive. But he is though right he 746 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 3: tested well, he's really good at run blocking, like he's 747 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 3: going to be a good football player for them and now, 748 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 3: and I think for the Chargers too, Like you look 749 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 3: at you're now set at both your tackle spots for 750 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 3: twelve years. That's a big benefit to know that you 751 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 3: have with Slater and with All Now that position is 752 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 3: no longer one you have to worry about. That's a 753 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 3: big bonus for them. 754 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 1: There is some projection though, when you take a guy 755 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: like he's a lifetime and you know, different footwork on 756 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: different sides. Some guys, like the dude at Oregon State 757 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: put him anywhere. Some guys have played multiple positions. This 758 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: guy is a lifetime left tackle. Yeah, and I can 759 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: imagine in so far in OTA's they've moved him at 760 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: right tackle. I guess Slater's done both. He did both 761 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: in college. Right. 762 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, he played right tackle on college. 763 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: So you at least in the back of your mind. No, 764 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: And obviously, like if you ask Trent Williams to play 765 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: right tackle, I'm sure he'd be fine. Like, obviously there 766 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: are guys that can do it that haven't done it, 767 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: But I there is just risk involved whenever you do that. 768 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm not specifically talking about all, just in general. When 769 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: you kind of think like that with left and right tackles, right, oh, 770 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: I think so. 771 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 3: And there are guys that just can't do it, Like 772 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 3: I could not play left guard right guard. Right tackle 773 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 3: not a problem like left guard. The left side just 774 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 3: couldn't do it. There are guys that do it much 775 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 3: easier that they are able to just figure it out. 776 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 3: The thing that I think you would look forward with 777 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 3: alt is his thought says in his top notes, Right, 778 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 3: so you can you can move them over there. But 779 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 3: he also has not played a lot of football. Right. 780 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 3: His dad specifically did not want him to play football, 781 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 3: and then he realized, like at some point, like I 782 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 3: gotta let him play. Like he's still relatively new to 783 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 3: playing football. So he has now he's played left tackles 784 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 3: since he was, you know, thirteen years old. He has 785 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 3: he's seen in high school. Yeah, he sort of like 786 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 3: grew into that position. So I think you can make 787 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 3: the case that there's a lot of room for him 788 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 3: to go. I would not move Rashaun Slater, by the way, 789 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 3: like you have an all pro left tackle, Like leave 790 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 3: him as an all pro left tackle and then just 791 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 3: sort of figure out, Oh and look when you have 792 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 3: you got like Slater too, John, you could put all 793 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 3: the right tackle then help out help him out, like 794 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 3: you know, you left tackles done with help the right 795 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 3: tackle out. He give him chips, give him tight ends, 796 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 3: give him formational help, and you don't have to worry 797 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 3: about now Slayer's playing a new position. Now all's rookie, 798 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 3: and just leave Slater where he is, he said, at 799 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 3: left tackle, and then just help out the rookie right tackle. 800 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: You know, Trent and Lane are older, but who would 801 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: you say, like under thirty twenty eight is the best 802 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: tackle in the NFL. 803 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 3: Oh, paday Seul, that's not I don't think it's even 804 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 3: a question. He is the gonna be a he's my 805 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 3: guy obviously from Oregon, but he's probably gonna be a 806 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. But it's all like, it's the way 807 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 3: he's going right now, Johnny, he's he just turned twenty 808 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 3: three or he's gonna turn twenty fourth during the season, 809 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 3: I think, which is what He won the Alan Trophy 810 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 3: at eighteen years old. Jesus, he's twenty. He's twenty three 811 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 3: right now. 812 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy. 813 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 3: He won he won Alan Trophy part of that year 814 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 3: he was eighteen years old, because he turns he turned nineteen, 815 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 3: I think in in UH in twenty nineteen. He came 816 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 3: in the NFL his third years already in all pro 817 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 3: UH and in his third season he's a two time 818 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 3: Pro bowler. Like he's just gonna be good forever because 819 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 3: that's that's what he is as a player. So he's 820 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 3: the guy to me that you look up and you 821 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 3: know it's twenty thirty and he's made the All Pro 822 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 3: Team for seven straight seasons. And I think right tackles 823 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 3: have historically not been Hall of famers. I think actually, 824 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 3: with PFF helping to give contexts and stats to offense 825 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 3: a line plan, we're going to see Lane Johnson for sure. 826 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a Hall of Famer. Willie Anderson should 827 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 3: get in. He hasn't been in yet. We're gonna now see. 828 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 3: I think more right tackles get a chance to be 829 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 3: Hall of famers, where they really has never been the 830 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 3: case before. There's a couple in there, but for the 831 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 3: most part had to be left tackle. 832 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: Nye Sewell just got eighty five million dollars guaranteed in 833 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve million dollars making. 834 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 3: Oh dude, dude, he dude, he's he's going to be 835 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 3: up for a second contract by twenty seven. 836 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: That's pretty wild. You're a big Oregon guy. And after 837 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: Bo Nicks and everyone had a take, I just went 838 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: and watched. I mean, obviously you watch every game, and 839 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: I watched majority organ games, but just went back and 840 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: watched some cutups on YouTube. Actually kind of reminded me 841 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: a little bit if you went that way back to 842 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: like when Jimmy was coming out, or even Derek at 843 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: Fresno State. Like athleticism, the accuracy, but the offense was 844 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's not what he's going to run specifically 845 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 1: in the pros. But look at back those guys. You know, Derek, 846 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: we could argue about him all day long, but Jimmy 847 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: when he was younger, was a really good player. Like 848 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: I think bo Nicks is going to probably be pretty 849 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: good for Sean Payton. 850 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 3: So my comp for bo Nicks was like a more 851 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 3: athletic Derek Carr, which might bother people, but that's sort 852 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,479 Speaker 3: of what I thought about him. The one thing about 853 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 3: about Nicks that I think is the misconception. It's really 854 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 3: two things, but tie into one is this idea of 855 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 3: like he checks down all the time. There's a stat 856 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 3: I saw like he had a thousand yards of passing 857 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 3: yards of you know, balls behind the line, screamage essentially, 858 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 3: And I went back and looked in five plays total 859 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 3: kount of for twenty percent of that number, and two 860 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 3: of them were like we're actually run plays that were 861 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 3: considered pass plays because where the ball was handed off, 862 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 3: and one was like a seventy five yard screen Like 863 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 3: that's not his fault, you know, like you can't do 864 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 3: anything about if a guy runs for for CERTI five here. 865 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 3: So a lot a lot of those those numbers can 866 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 3: be misleading the organ passing attack when it's just a 867 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 3: regular passing attack, when it's out of play action, out 868 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 3: of at a sort of at times of RPO stuff. 869 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,839 Speaker 3: It's actually very pro style. There's a lot of West 870 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 3: Coast concepts to what they do. If you watch kind 871 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 3: of intently on sort of you know, they form that 872 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 3: triangle when you throw, so like there's always kind of 873 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 3: a three read triangle for him, although there's a lot 874 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 3: of empty stuff too, which he'll have to do in 875 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 3: the NFL, which he was very comfortable with. But I 876 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 3: don't see that like Caleb Williams upside right, Like, I 877 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 3: think that's the hard part about drafting these quarterbacks. You're 878 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 3: sort of stuck right, Like you need a young quarterback 879 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 3: bo Nicks. If he's Derek Carr, you're probably happy about 880 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 3: his career until you get tired of of sort of 881 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 3: not winning. I think to the level you want to 882 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 3: win at, and that's hard because you know Caleb Boys, 883 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be incredible, and Bonus is just 884 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 3: not gonna ever be quite that good. And that's just 885 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 3: sort of how it goes from the quarterback position. I 886 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 3: think Bunet's gonna be good, but he's never gonna be 887 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 3: a Pro bowl er, probably not. I mean, that's feels 888 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 3: unlikely to me. 889 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: The reality, too, is when these guys evaluated and Andy 890 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: told me when they did Mahomes and Sean Payton, I 891 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: I watched an interview he said this, we just out 892 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 1: of our cutups, we just remove those passes, like we 893 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: don't want, yeah, that pass behind the lines. So it's 894 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: people like, well he throws, yeah, we don't care as 895 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: long as he's hitting those guys we know accurately. Fine, 896 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: Like we're not evaluating those plays correct, so it's like 897 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 1: we're not like, yeah, we understand he can throw behind 898 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, which you're gonna need to do 899 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: sometimes in the pros. Maybe not all that play, but 900 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: wheel routes check downs, like you do need to be 901 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: accurate on that play. Why do a lot of players, 902 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, bust Obviously they struggle down the field not 903 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: reading stuff, but they also they get frazzled and then 904 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 1: they fuck up the layup. Yeah right, I mean how 905 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: many players have we seen with like sweet traits that 906 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: like once they get frazzled they have tomp it down 907 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: to their running back or air mailing it to the trainer. 908 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and like their foot what's all footwork? 909 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: Right? 910 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 3: Their footwork on the back foot and they're just not 911 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 3: I said there were plays bo Nicks made where there 912 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 3: was one against the US. He had a touchdown where 913 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 3: sort of everyone just cleared out and he's like, cool, 914 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 3: I throw the running back. No one's in. That's a 915 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 3: that's a smart decision. And he's not Patrick Mahomes obviously, 916 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 3: But Mahomes has gotten better because he's decided to take 917 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 3: those layups. He's like, cool, you want to give me 918 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 3: four yards, five yeards, six yards, I'll take it. Great. 919 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 3: Now he can make special plays at Bois will never 920 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 3: be able to make. But Nix is not. I think 921 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 3: nix Is give me a better pro than Michael Pennox, 922 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 3: for example. That doesn't mean he's going to be again 923 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 3: an All pro, but I think he'll be very serviceable 924 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 3: for many years. 925 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think the Atlanta Falcons are like I think 926 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: that's got disaster written all over it, a ton of pressure, 927 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: cousins coming off, the injury, the weird Penix thing, everything. 928 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: And I told you this last time we talked. Everyone's 929 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: picking them to win the Vision. I'm just strictly not 930 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: partly out of like everyone's doing it. Everyone's hanging the left. 931 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang it right. But also, this team has 932 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,959 Speaker 1: been winning seven games for three straight years. We hype 933 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: up their talents and they didn't just hire Vrabel or 934 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, Tomlin got fired and they hired him like 935 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: a guy. Okay, we know he knows what he's doing. 936 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: Rahee Morris well liked clearly a solid defensive coordinator, awesome 937 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: to have on your staff. We have no clue what 938 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: he's going to be as a head coach. 939 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, none. 940 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 1: Division's not great, but and I'm not saying they're gonna suck, 941 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 1: but it will not shock me if all of a 942 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: sudden we look up and you know Bucks are ten 943 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: and seven, and they're nine and eight or eight nine, 944 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: they've missed the playoffs. 945 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 3: Well, I make a rule to never bet on the 946 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 3: Falcons for anything, because I just I lose every wager 947 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 3: anytime I ever want to bet on on the Falcons 948 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 3: for anything. I think it's John. It's mostly about just 949 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 3: division not being great. But Tampa Bay returns a lot, 950 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 3: and they won the division last year. From correct right, like, 951 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 3: they're not about football team. They're not winning, they're not 952 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 3: winning a Super Bowl, but they're not They're not They're 953 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 3: not a bad football team. The Panthers should be better 954 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 3: just by default of I think, just different coach and 955 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 3: different players. 956 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: I don't. 957 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 3: I'm not high in the Saints, uh, for the reasons 958 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 3: we don't not high on teams. I don't like love 959 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 3: the coach and I don't love the quarterback, but the Falcons. 960 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 3: The thing with with with the Michael Pennex is people 961 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 3: talk about distractions, like what is the distraction in the 962 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 3: locker room? A distraction is it's sort of the simple 963 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 3: ast but like anything that takes away from the preparation 964 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 3: of your game every week, and when Cousins has a 965 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 3: bad game, which is gonna do at some point Monday 966 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 3: morning's gonna have open locker room. John, people are gonna 967 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 3: walk up to Kyle Pitts and say, should Michael Penix 968 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,439 Speaker 3: be playing? Should? You know? Should is there a quarterback change? 969 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 3: You're gonna ask to ask Morris? Should you can? Cousin's 970 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 3: gonna keep a job. But that's a distraction, John, when 971 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 3: you're talking about something that has nothing to do with 972 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 3: winning and losing during that current week. And that's the 973 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 3: thing with Pennex and it's just the Falcon's reasoning was 974 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 3: was right, like if everything goes but we just want 975 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 3: to play it for four or five years, then why 976 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 3: did draft them with the first two? You have other 977 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 3: holes on your team. It doesn't feel like it's gonna 978 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 3: end up going well for them. 979 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 1: See. To me, that's the crazy part about college football 980 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,320 Speaker 1: because like now with the transfer portal, at least in 981 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,439 Speaker 1: the NFL, like guys are in a contract kind of stuck. 982 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: When things are going in college, it's like I'm out, 983 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 1: you know, do some of these locker room dynamics. It's 984 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: easy if you're rolling like Ohio State or Georgia or Obama. 985 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: But the majority of teams, even the good teams like 986 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,280 Speaker 1: LSU nine and three teams, you get some rocky times, 987 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: you know, throughout the year where guys like fuck it. 988 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: I'll just I'm gonna go to Ohio State next year. 989 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: It's got to be pretty wild Internally. 990 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 3: I don't know how these college coaches do it, man, 991 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 3: I don't know how they do it because I have friends, 992 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 3: you know, all over the spectrum, right from obviously I'm 993 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 3: close with the Oregon staff, but knowing guys at other 994 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 3: our five schools. UH known a couple of coaches on 995 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,720 Speaker 3: the on the G five level. You know, it's about 996 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 3: more than anything else, right now, Like money, John, right, 997 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 3: Like can you can you have an an il program 998 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 3: that keeps players around? Because as soon as someone plays well, 999 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 3: you know they're getting tampered with, right They're getting talked 1000 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 3: to you behind the scenes, and people are trying to 1001 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 3: approach these guys, and you want to be able to 1002 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 3: keep them. And so do you have the money to 1003 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 3: keep these players? I think the money is far less 1004 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 3: than we think it is. I don't really. I know 1005 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 3: numbers get reported out and there's certainly Jada Rashada, you know, 1006 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 3: number and and and lawsuit. That's not I think a 1007 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 3: lot of players are dealing is that the. 1008 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: Is that the fakest number, Like you should have reflagged 1009 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: that someone in his life, his dad like this can't 1010 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: be real. 1011 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. I The other one that people have mentioned is 1012 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 3: the one for Nikio the quarterback to Tennessee. It was 1013 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 3: like eight million dollars. I know what guys at organ 1014 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 3: were sort of again last year it wasn't eight million dollars. 1015 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a lot. So these coaches. 1016 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 3: The the difficult part I think for for coaches is 1017 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 3: basically designing a practice plan and a reps plan to 1018 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 3: keep players from transferring because you have to basically make 1019 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: sure John that players feel like they're gonna play you. 1020 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 3: The thing about the portal too, is is we talk 1021 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 3: about the high end talent. Certainly there's high in talent 1022 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 3: everywhere and those are going to certain schools, but the 1023 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 3: portal is not good because for your team, I mean, 1024 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 3: for the most part, you need depth on your team. 1025 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 3: Right If your depth pieces are transferring out, then that's 1026 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 3: a huge problem for you. And so you have to 1027 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 3: design a practice plan any all the position go just 1028 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 3: to make sure that players feel like they have a 1029 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 3: chance to play when they don't have a chance to play. 1030 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 3: And it's a different dynamic. You know, when when I 1031 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 3: was going through when you were with Pat Hall FRESNS 1032 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 3: date did it give a shit? Oh you suck. You're 1033 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 3: not gonna get any reps in practice? Like who cares, 1034 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 3: You're not going anywhere. But now you can't treat players 1035 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 3: like that because they're just gonna pack them a go 1036 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 3: to the portal and you need to have a too 1037 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,399 Speaker 3: deep to be competitive, you know, thirst from Guya leaves 1038 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 3: like whatever, who cares. So that's the hard part about 1039 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 3: the portal of the portal for the coaches, And I 1040 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 3: think that's why a lot of coaches are just like 1041 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 3: I'm out of here right, Like I don't want to 1042 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 3: deal with older coaches. I just don't want to deal 1043 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 3: with having to caddle players that aren't going to play 1044 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 3: to make sure they don't leave. So if they have 1045 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,800 Speaker 3: to play at some point this season, I have to 1046 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 3: make sure that I'm you know, they're they're ready to, 1047 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,280 Speaker 3: you know, feel like like they're loved in the program. 1048 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: Would that be the thing? Like forever you know, Oregon, 1049 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: you guys play Fresno State, Boise State programs like that. Obviously, 1050 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: now Oregon State, who's not in the conference. Obviously those 1051 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 1: teams get paid to play Oregon. And it's a big 1052 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: deal for their program. But Boise State and Fresno State 1053 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 1: are gonna have a player or two that that Dan 1054 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 1: Landy's like, damn, I like that linebacker or that slot receiver. 1055 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: That'd be my first call. And what's that kid? How 1056 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 1: could that kid say no after the season. Yeah, those 1057 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: schools have no chance. They're like a feat They're like 1058 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 1: the Tampa Day raise for the Yankees. 1059 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,959 Speaker 3: Which is why. And that was important because the Boise 1060 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 3: State running back this year is really good and he 1061 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 3: got a bunch of schools that called them. He's stayed 1062 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 3: in boys, he got got a big we got a 1063 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 3: big NL deal to stay. You know, a lot of 1064 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 3: times it's not about the most money. It's just about 1065 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 3: feeling loved. Right if you feel like you're a Fresno 1066 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 3: you're a Boise State, and you're Oregon State now Washington State, 1067 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 3: you just want to feel a little bit of love. 1068 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 3: I'm not sure you have to go anywhere for the money, 1069 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 3: but look, there are players that leave those schools that 1070 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: have spent three or four years there that just want 1071 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 3: to go get a paycheck for one year. Like That's 1072 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,320 Speaker 3: that's what the transferorportal has become now, which is totally fine. 1073 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 3: I I don't, to be fair, I don't. I never 1074 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 3: really liked the portal. I get the idea of like 1075 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 3: why it became a thing, John, but it wasn't intended 1076 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 3: for this, even though we all knew it was gonna happen. 1077 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 3: I me it was intended for just guys to be 1078 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 3: able to free the transer that weren't playing. It was intend. 1079 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 3: I just saw it to a Twitter report or or 1080 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 3: a coach Leaves, Yeah, our coach Leaves. I saw a 1081 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 3: report Caleb Downs who was number one safety like two 1082 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 3: years ago in high school recruiting and transferred from Alabama 1083 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 3: to Ohio State. Like they haven't. They're putting them a 1084 00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 3: running back in practice supposedly, who knows. I mean that. 1085 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 3: I feel like Ellie is probably he's so happy to 1086 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 3: allow State just like play running back, buddy. Sure, I 1087 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 3: don't have to be head coach. Great and uh, but 1088 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,879 Speaker 3: like that type of player. I know Nick Sabing left 1089 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 3: so but like that guy's not supposed to leave your school, 1090 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 3: right A five star that was playing was like he 1091 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 3: wasn't playing that. You know, Dylan Gabriel is not supposed 1092 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 3: to be in his third schools. Organ's quarterback. That's not 1093 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 3: really what the portal is about. But that's when it 1094 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 3: came very quickly because there's no regulations, there's nothing, nothing, 1095 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 3: nothing that's gonna change, and players now are just sort 1096 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 3: of mercenaries and it's a really out dynamic. Like if 1097 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 3: if you spend four years, like there's a running back 1098 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 3: that left Orgon, Troy die No, Travis Dye. Travis Dye 1099 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 3: who Oregon fans love John He won a Rose Bull 1100 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 3: with Oregon, Like he went to USC for a year, 1101 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 3: unfortunately got hurt at the end of the season, but 1102 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 3: like he can't come back to Oregon. He's a USC grad. 1103 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 3: Now you gotta like it's gonna I think it's just 1104 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 3: sort of I think for some of those players, you 1105 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 3: like not burn your bridges, but you sort of discontinue 1106 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 3: your time with that team and all of a sudden 1107 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 3: that that's gone now and you spent one year in 1108 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 3: a program and I don't know, like do you feel 1109 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 3: that connection that program after spending six months there? You 1110 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 3: probably don't see. 1111 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: And I know coaches bitch and moan, but I think 1112 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 1: Gabriel is a good example because they have I forget 1113 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: the kid's name, but who's supposed to be their next 1114 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield. I think they basically 1115 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: told him like this kid's playing, but then he comes 1116 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: there and dam Lanning gets the UCLA kid that they 1117 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: also wanted, the five star who was pretty terrible last year, 1118 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: but it was tough circumstances. Like let's use that as 1119 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: an example. I guess more, the five star can't transfer 1120 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 1: anymore like he used up his one bullet gun. 1121 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 3: No, they have you can transfer unlimited. 1122 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 1: Now seriously, Yeah, so how do you massage that relationship 1123 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: if he thinks he's better than Dylan Gabriel and training. 1124 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 3: Can n I l that's why, Yeah, that's what it is. 1125 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 3: But also too like so here's the thing about I 1126 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 3: think some of these programs like Oregon, Ohio, State, Georgia, 1127 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,520 Speaker 3: and this is what goes back to what we talked about. 1128 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 3: I think at the beginning of the show, right, it 1129 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 3: is like, if you're coming to those schools, you understand 1130 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 3: you're you're not guaranteed the spot because the talent is 1131 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,319 Speaker 3: so grand at those places. Now, so Dan Lanny has 1132 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 3: to find players, Ryan Day has to find Kirby has 1133 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 3: to find players that know that, right, like, you're not 1134 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 3: coming to our school and getting a free starting spot 1135 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 3: without earning your starting spot, and they're only taking players 1136 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,879 Speaker 3: John that care about that. Have you notice not many 1137 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 3: players are leaving Georgia. I'm supposed to leave in Ohio State. 1138 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 3: I'm supposed to leave in Oregon. If they are, it's 1139 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 3: mostly the coaches call processing right. They kind of like 1140 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 3: tell them like, you're not going to play small for 1141 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 3: someone else, please leave us. So they're they're taking Dante 1142 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,399 Speaker 3: more and saying like, hey, buddy, look you can come here. 1143 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 3: We want you to come, but listen, you're not playing 1144 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 3: this season. You might play next year, but guess what, 1145 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,879 Speaker 3: we have a five star freshman coming into and that's 1146 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 3: part of coming to school in Oregon. And I think 1147 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 3: those schools are honest with the players. I mean, it's 1148 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 3: it's prettying. Like Dante Moore was tough last year, bad situation, 1149 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 3: rotating quarterbacks, the Brune offensive line wasn't as good as 1150 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 3: been the past. If it wasn't the best offensive setup. 1151 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 3: I think he understands like too, like I was ready 1152 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 3: to play last year. I can benefit from from sitting 1153 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,600 Speaker 3: in a year. And we're seeing players now go to 1154 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 3: the NFL with one year starting experience. It was never 1155 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 3: that way. He needed three years, four years of starting 1156 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 3: experience to be drafted in the first round. You need anyway. 1157 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 3: He gets to play one season next year and go 1158 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 3: eleven and two and be a first round draft pick. 1159 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,879 Speaker 3: John So the dynamic of all that has changed now. 1160 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 3: And Georgia did too. They got Jada Mashonda from Arizona State, 1161 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 3: who played, who was five star kid? Who who now 1162 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 3: is gonna be a backup there? Oregon did it as well. 1163 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 3: Makes sense, right, Dalan Gabriel goes down, Your team is loaded. 1164 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,759 Speaker 3: You want to have a viable backup. Carson Beck goes down. 1165 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 3: Georgia's team is loaded. You want a viable backup. And 1166 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 3: the nil stuff really keeps those players at those programs. 1167 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,960 Speaker 1: I would be very hesitant. I think we've learned in 1168 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 1: recent memory of breaking the bank for the blue chip 1169 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 1: quarterback out of high school, and that's one thing that's 1170 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,840 Speaker 1: been hacked. You guys did it with bo Nix, Washington 1171 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,359 Speaker 1: did it with Panics. I mean, it's happened all over 1172 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: college football with the quarterback. Now, once they play a 1173 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: year and they want to transfer, you get a little 1174 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,359 Speaker 1: film on them. Like more so, you've seen some things. 1175 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: You know we need to work on this. You have 1176 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 1: a much better feel for it. But like, Nebraska's getting 1177 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,200 Speaker 1: a lot of credit right for Matt Rule, and Riola 1178 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 1: is supposed to be the greatest thing since slice spread. 1179 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,439 Speaker 1: But we've all been around college football now for twenty 1180 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: plus years, and more than half of them never amount 1181 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 1: to shit, right or just underwhelmed given the hype, you know, 1182 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 1: and some of them become top ten picks. But you 1183 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: it's a coin flip. 1184 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 3: Well, that's why you recruit every year, right, you have 1185 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 3: to another foster every year. I like, real, I'm curious. 1186 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 3: Actually is interesting. 1187 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: It looks fantastic if he just watch his youtubes. 1188 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 3: Because Matt Rule in year two at Temple and Baylor 1189 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,440 Speaker 3: had that those teams that eleven twelve wins in year 1190 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 3: two and so much tougher in the Big ten. I think, 1191 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 3: so we'll see. Yeah, Look, it's I think quarterback position 1192 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:28,839 Speaker 3: feels like really the one that you're striking the most 1193 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,919 Speaker 3: gold in the portal wide receiver a little bit as well, 1194 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of cornerback, but it's really hard 1195 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 3: in the trenches to find those players. There's only a 1196 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 3: couple you know, impact often to if it's a lineman 1197 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 3: a year in the portal, because those players just stay 1198 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 3: put at the school they're at. There's no reason to 1199 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 3: leave if you're that good. And so teams are i 1200 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 3: mean pivoting back to having to recruit high school players 1201 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 3: of those positions. 1202 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll get you out of here on this. 1203 00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: Obviously a story from a couple of weeks ago. USC 1204 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 1: try to back out of the game. You know that 1205 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 1: their roster clearly is nowhere near the heyday that most 1206 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,320 Speaker 1: of us that talk about USC go back to the 1207 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 1: mid two thousands and it's a different world. I mean, 1208 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 1: that team was no different than sabans Alabama. I mean 1209 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 1: they were having pros at every position that were getting drafted, 1210 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 1: not like just drafted, like in the top fifty at 1211 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 1: every position and then countless guys in the top twenty. 1212 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 1: So like, I don't have the breakdown of LSU's roster, 1213 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 1: but I think we can all acknowledge that that's got 1214 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 1: a chance to be pretty ugly. And I'm sorry, Like, 1215 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 1: this isn't year one, this is year three. And if 1216 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: you get rolled by Brian Kelly also in year three, 1217 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 1: who has the same excuses you do, new quarterback, new 1218 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. You're not playing at baton Rouge at night either. 1219 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 1: This game's in Vegas, which essentially should be a USC 1220 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 1: home game, right, Oh it will be. 1221 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 3: I mean that place will be full US defense. They 1222 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 3: didn't travel well and you put Vegas in there and 1223 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,359 Speaker 3: out in Vegas. That's such a sports come up, man, 1224 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 3: Like that's crazy. Well, ten years ago is like a 1225 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 3: barren desert of sports. Now you have a hockey team there. 1226 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 3: You got a maybe I don't think actually the A's 1227 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 3: will ever show up, but you you had a football team, 1228 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 3: a hockey team, all this college action every year. Lincoln 1229 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 3: Riley and USC is a good example, John, of how 1230 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 3: the portal can go badly, very quickly for you. Right, 1231 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 3: the portal for a school at USC should only be 1232 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 3: used to enhance your roster at certain positions. It cannot 1233 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 3: be used as a way to build up your entire roster. 1234 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 3: And USC went so hard in the portal. And again 1235 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 3: those positions offensive line and defensive line. You don't find 1236 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 3: those all stars you really, it's really hard to find 1237 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 3: those guys. A lot of times. Those all stars, by 1238 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 3: the way, John, are in two categories one, they're injured, right, 1239 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 3: like Leatu latu u CLI's pass rusher was at Washington, 1240 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,400 Speaker 3: he was medically retired and came back at UCLA. Or 1241 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 3: it's it's a lower level school kid, right organized a 1242 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 3: right tackle Cornelius from Rhode Island, like those guys. 1243 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: That are Jared Verse from Albany to Florida State. 1244 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, so like you know, they're under recruited, or they 1245 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,919 Speaker 3: just have a gross spurt late and they played really 1246 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 3: well and they're like they should be in Division one 1247 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 3: but they're not, and boom you pop up. But like, 1248 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 3: if you're a second year offensive ligneman, you're transferring. Sorry, 1249 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 3: you're probably not pretty, you're probably not good, right, Like 1250 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 3: you're not and so USC got way too portal happy 1251 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 3: and looking. Riley is admitted like, yeah, we probably shouldn't 1252 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 3: have done that. It did not work out. But now 1253 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 3: you're in year three, John, and you're going back to 1254 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 3: high school recruiting, which I like us he's doing a 1255 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 3: better job in twenty twenty five cycle, but that's not now. 1256 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 3: You're like three years away from that coming to fruition 1257 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 3: like those players. So you're now you're looking at what 1258 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 3: twenty six by the time, like those interior players on office, 1259 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 3: if it's a line, they're like ready to like contribute 1260 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 3: a high level. And so they just are really behind 1261 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 3: right now with talent. I mean you look at I'm 1262 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 3: looking at the roster right now. I mean their center. 1263 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 3: Maybe NFL player player left tackles, a retro freshman, I 1264 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 3: think he can be that player. But like wide receiver, 1265 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 3: this thing about looking around these teams for years, Oklahoma 1266 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 3: first round wide receivers every year. 1267 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 1: Not right now. 1268 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,880 Speaker 3: Maybe defense, we talked about Pete Carroll's teams. Their backups 1269 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 3: got drafted, their backups John that did not start got drafted. Okay, 1270 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 3: USC's defense, the two best players, really the three best 1271 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 3: players are transfers, which is funny. It's Bear Alexander who's good, 1272 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 3: I think, and the two kids of Oregon State, the 1273 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 3: linebacker and the corner are both brothers. Otherwise, again it's 1274 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 3: it's just a lot of like eh, but at USC, 1275 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 3: it shouldn't be that way. It's USC. You shouldn't be 1276 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,479 Speaker 3: like uhh yeah, like so, and even at quarterback, Miller 1277 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 3: Moss can be good. He played on the Bowl game 1278 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 3: Jaya and Myova. Maybe I think he's sin Sannio State transfer. 1279 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 3: That's a un l V transfer. Sorry, it's just the 1280 00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 3: talent and us he is not what people expect it 1281 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,000 Speaker 3: to be. Year one, they won with Caleb Williams, better 1282 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 3: skill guys in office. In their schedule, No Oregon, no Washington, 1283 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 3: Like they didn't have those guys to play last year. 1284 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 3: This year they had a much tougher schedule and they 1285 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 3: went they went seven and five, seven to five, right, 1286 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 3: So their win total, I think it's seven and a 1287 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 3: half in Vegas. 1288 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 1: And it was, and it was an ugly seven. I 1289 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: mean they easily could have lost Arizona. I mean they 1290 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: probably should have lost. 1291 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 3: That name double over time. 1292 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you could argue the day and age of 1293 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 1: what Pete did, even the probably first half of Sabin's 1294 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 1: so over with the transfer portal in Nil. I mean, 1295 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 1: look at now, I mean, how many teams have a 1296 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 1: legit chance to win the national championship this year? Seven? 1297 01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I think if you look at you 1298 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 3: looking at like Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, I don't 1299 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 3: think Michigan's in that category right now, Florida. 1300 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:49,720 Speaker 1: State, Clemson, Florida. 1301 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't Clemson. I didn't have mass question 1302 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 3: marks at quarterback right with club necking Dju a quarterback. 1303 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 3: Florida State just lost the Michigan Law too much, of 1304 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 3: my opinion to be a competitor for for a championship. 1305 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 3: Look if Kilns a borr who's won everywhere he's at, 1306 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 3: I think you're looking at a guy who who can 1307 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 3: you know he's gonna do well. There's a couple of 1308 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 3: like teams. 1309 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 1: I think that LSU LSU would probably be pretty good. 1310 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 3: Old Miss is gonna be good. They went all in 1311 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 3: the portal this year too. Look, they're gonna be really good. 1312 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 3: They just haven't been able to kind of get out 1313 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 3: over that Georgia Alabama hump. They haven't been able to 1314 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 3: beat those teams. So they're one team I think. Seriously, 1315 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 3: look at No. One in the Big twelve. You know 1316 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,520 Speaker 3: it feels like SEC or sort of Big ten championship 1317 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 3: this year. But yeah, not many teams in most seasons. 1318 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 3: I think our championship worthy. 1319 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Why know this, if Lane gets the playoffs, which you know, 1320 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 1: if he goes nine to three or ten and two, 1321 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 1: he'll be there. He's got you know, he he from 1322 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 1: what I was told he wanted the Oregon job. Obviously 1323 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 1: he's got some off the field question marks in his past. 1324 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 1: They made the right decision with Dan Lanning, though Lane 1325 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 1: I think would have been fine too. I think he's 1326 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 1: got I think he's got Florida it and all over 1327 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 1: him as that disaster ins don't you that? 1328 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 3: Or yeah him or Jed Fish. They just Lane just 1329 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 3: seems to want out every year, right, He's just like, 1330 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 3: please get me out of please get me out of here. Yeah, Florida, 1331 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 3: could see that, Florida. And then everyone says Jeed Fish 1332 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 3: wants that job. But so everyone. I mean, I always 1333 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 3: love when the media says that, right John, like they 1334 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 3: want this job. Well yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah great, 1335 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 3: but he's got to do well. I think at Washington 1336 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 3: year one to have that job it yeah, it was 1337 01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 3: yeah Lane, Lane's gonna I mean that team is. I 1338 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 3: don't think about their offense too. Look, I don't know 1339 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 3: if that's an offense that's like a championship winning style 1340 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 3: of offense that Lane runs old miss and scored a 1341 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 3: ton of points. But I feel like some of these 1342 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,840 Speaker 3: teams can beat him up in the trenches, which is 1343 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,919 Speaker 3: sort of not how you win championships obviously. 1344 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:54,880 Speaker 1: To me, If he gets to the playoffs and were 1345 01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 1: to win a game, that would be a remarkable achievement 1346 01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 1: for all miss Oh yeah, I. 1347 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 3: Mean especially we're sort of again what they put in 1348 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,680 Speaker 3: they put a lot of people's under the radar, like 1349 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 3: they've put a lot. Missouri actually might be pretty good too. 1350 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 3: It's kind of a sleeper SEC team. I think that 1351 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 3: that might have a little bit of just Penn State again, 1352 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 3: sort of the old missing like just can't beat Michigan 1353 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 3: in Ohio State and that sort of is important to 1354 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 3: winning the Big Ten. We're nine nine hours away now 1355 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 3: from college football being back nine nine ten something like that. 1356 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 1357 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: If you gave Lincoln Riley Penn State's roster, USC might 1358 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 1: be a problem. 1359 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, especially on that defense. 1360 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'll let you get out of here. Jeff, 1361 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: have a good summer in Jace. 1362 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 3: Buddy. 1363 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 1: The Charlotte humidity and oh. 1364 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,440 Speaker 3: It's coming one hundred this weekend Saturday and Sunday. 1365 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Enjoy the pool. 1366 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:55,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thank you, buddy.
