6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: Wednesday Morning Podcast. My buddy Mike Silver has all sorts

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: of NFL notes. I got a comment on the Lakers,

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: who are apparently now run by Lebron James. So the

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: average age of an NBA player is twenty six, the

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Lakers average now is closer to thirty three. So they

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: add Carmelo Anthony to Dwight Howard, to Lebron James, to

12
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Trevor a Reason to Russell Westbrook. Those thirty eight in November,

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Dwight's thirty six in December. Trevor Ariza just turned thirty six.

14
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: They were the oldest team in the NBA last year.

15
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear about Kendrick Nunn. The

16
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Warriors had him in their G league and let him go.

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: Pat Riley let him go. Bob Myers and pat Riley

18
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: are two the smartest guys in the NBA. They both had.

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Kendrick Nunn. He's essentially a younger Dion Waiters. He's not

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: a catch and shoot guy. He's highly erratic. Pat Riley

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: and Spoelstra Let Kendrick Nunn go. I don't want to

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: hear about Malik Monk. You really think next June this

23
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: is going to be the headline Malik Monk leads the

24
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Lakers to the title. This team is old, and by

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: the way, I love veteran players, but the Milwaukee Bucks

26
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: last year, we're twenty seven and a half years old.

27
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Jannis is twenty six, Chris Middleton twenty nine, Bobby Portis

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty six, Pat Connington twenty eight. You gotta have some youth.

29
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: Malik Monk is not going to get a lot of

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: minutes in playoff games. Kendrick Nunn is Dion Waiters. He's

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: one of those sort of give him the ball and

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: let him go, and he can occasionally get really hot.

33
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: You think Lebron's going to allow that in big playoff spots.

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: This team is not as good defensively as they were

35
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: a year ago, okay, and they don't really have guys

36
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: who are going to get big minutes in playoff games

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: and hit big shots, So you know, I feel like

38
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: with Lebron James, there's always been this sort of theory

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: that Lebron will make it work. I think he could

40
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: for the first fifteen years of his career. I don't

41
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: think that's as easy to do now. And by the way,

42
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: I could argue the Lakers don't have a single elite

43
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: player in their prime. The Bucks won Jannis in his prime,

44
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Middleton in their prime. You cannot tell me Anthony Davis

45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: is in his prime. It's year ten. His injuries now

46
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: are pilot up. He's not out of his prime by much,

47
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: but I'd make an argument he does not have another

48
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: ten years. I'd make an argument he'll be an eroding

49
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: player within two years. Anthony Davis has had too many

50
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: injuries and they're now happening on a more consistent basis.

51
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: This is an old basketball team, and Kendrick Nunn and

52
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Malik Monk aren't the answer to the finals. They're not

53
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: going to get big minutes in a playoff series. There's

54
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: no way Lebron would trust either in a big spot.

55
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: It's an interesting team, it's a weird roster. It's an

56
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: antique store. I'll watch, but with some skepticism. All right,

57
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: bringing to my buddy Mike Silver. You've seen him for

58
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: years Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Pass It Down podcast with his

59
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: daughter Natalie. Been covering this stuff for a long time.

60
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's start. You were at Niners practice yesterday

61
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: and the stories the last forty eight hours on Trey

62
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: Lance are he is tearing it up. You know, it's funny.

63
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: So a couple of years ago, people were hot and

64
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: cold on Justin Herbert, and I remember telling a general manager, Okay,

65
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: that's the best Wisconsin defense in my adult life. He

66
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: goes to the Rose Bowl, he runs for three touchdowns,

67
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: he spins the ball over the field. He was easily

68
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: the best player at the Senior Bowl. And I'm like,

69
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: when you can be sometimes watch the game and go

70
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: who's the best player? And when I watched Trey Lance,

71
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: and I said this on the air, I don't have

72
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: enough video, but the games that he played, his team

73
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: was better. He was so much better athletically than everybody else.

74
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't need all the measurables, like there are guys

75
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: sometimes you watch and go whoa Justin Herbert simply better

76
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: than everybody on the field, And Oregon and Wisconsin a

77
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: NFL players. So I'm not shocked that Trey Lance is

78
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: like athletically is popping. Are you surprised how quickly for

79
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's played one football game in two years

80
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: he's adjusted. Well, it's practice. So you know, we could

81
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: have said anything we wanted about Justin Herbert a year ago,

82
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: but until he, with three seconds notice, jumped into that

83
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: game and falled out against the Chiefs, right, and you know,

84
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: then we were like wait, and then he did it again,

85
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, it was very clear, but you know,

86
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: you never know. And that's Justin Herbert, who, as you said,

87
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: was playing against a great Wisconsin defense and future NFL players.

88
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: Trey Lance not his fault, but he was playing against

89
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: like guys who are going to be you know, working

90
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: at you know, the insurance agency or you know, the

91
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: mom and pop shot telling their kids, yeah, I've played

92
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: with the that guy who's in the NFL. You know,

93
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: not a lot of future NFL players that he played

94
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: against or with. And you combine that with the small

95
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: amount of games he played, and again, not his fault.

96
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Last year, they only played the one for obvious COVID

97
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: challenged reasons, and the year before it was really his

98
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: only year and the small school part of it. So

99
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: he's raw. He is a guy who not doesn't just

100
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: pop athletically, but his intelligence and composure and all those

101
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: other things were eye popping to them. They were like, whoa,

102
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: this guy is really mature, really together, really smart. Importantly

103
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: for that system odd year, and that every quarterback I

104
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: heard about up at the top was viewed as smart

105
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: by the way. Usually many years it's like, ah, that

106
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: guy's he's okay, he's not a rocket scientist. But you know,

107
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: this year they thought, you know, the teams thought all

108
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: these guys were smart. By the way, Mike, I have

109
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: a theory behind this is you're getting more of that.

110
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: The reason is they're all coming into the league now

111
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: with one hundred thousand snaps, quarterback camps, quarterback coaches. I

112
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: talked to Drew Bledsoe, He's like, I had twenty eight

113
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: starts by the time I got it, like the college. Like,

114
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: the bottom line is, these kids can read a defense now.

115
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Sophomore year of high school, they watch NFL film, they

116
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: watched the twenty two film. These guys are all smarter now.

117
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: It's possible. But the trends started this year because in

118
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: each previous year. I could tell you at least one

119
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: or two people in the cycle who wasn't like, all

120
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: these guys are done. But it wasn't the trait that

121
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: popped to many talent evaluators. They could have been wrong,

122
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: by the way, but okay, so that's the that's the

123
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: exciting part about Trey Lance. He is raw, and so

124
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: when they took him and didn't take mac Jones or

125
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, they clearly were saying, look, we're comfortable not

126
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: throwing him in right away, because most NFL teams would say,

127
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: a perfect world, you'd wait a year with Trey Lance. Now,

128
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: if he really is that good at practice, and we

129
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: don't always know because we don't know what the red

130
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: is and all that, but if he really is picking

131
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: it up that quickly, then that doesn't matter. They went

132
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: into this camp as a coaching staff with this belief

133
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: the best thing for us would be and the worst

134
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: thing for opposing defensive coordinators would be Jimmy wins the job.

135
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Legitimately he starts, he stays healthy and plays well, and

136
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: we have a tray Lance package every game that we

137
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: can throw at people and they have to prepare for

138
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: and the athleticism alone is going to freak people out.

139
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: So that's what the ideal scenario is for them. But

140
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: if Trey Lance just clearly looks better, or if Jimmy

141
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: is losing or not play well or injured, all of

142
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: which could happen, then you're going to see it. So

143
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: if Trey really chops it up, yeah, and Garoppolo plays well,

144
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: Mike in September and they say to themselves, shit, Trey

145
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: is ready to play. And this is not a quarterback

146
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: centric offense, right, this is not this is not Kansas City.

147
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: And you look at it and you think, this team's desperate,

148
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: This team's desperate, this team's desperate, and somebody makes them

149
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: a first round pick offer. My contention is or a starter.

150
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: I think it's possible Garoppolo gets moved if Trey chops

151
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: it up. Well, i think it's possible Garoppolo gets moved

152
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: if Trey doesn't chop it up, because the offer could

153
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: come right now. I mean, Chris Ballard could have called

154
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: John Lynch, you know, the day that Carson's foot, you know,

155
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: the severity of it became known to him, and he

156
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: could have said, I'll give you a one for Jimmy

157
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: and they might have done the cost benefit said we'll

158
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: do that. So you know, we saw that. Remember, you

159
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: know the Eagles were going to keep Sam Bradford and

160
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: when Wentz was a rookie, but then Teddy Bridgewater got

161
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: hurt and the Vikings were like, oh, we'll give you

162
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: a one, and they were like a one for Sam Bradford. Yes,

163
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: and they obviously had liked what they'd seen of what

164
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: so that could happen. I went into the twenty nineteen

165
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: season saying something that looked bad in retrospect, but I

166
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: will stand by it. And I said going into twenty nineteen,

167
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: they're at the point with Jimmy Garoppolo where if he

168
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: either doesn't play well or isn't winning or is banged up,

169
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: they will play Nick Mullins. That's how they felt after

170
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: two years of losing in a year that they knew

171
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: they had to win now. He didn't play well in

172
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: the first game against Tampa, but they won. After that,

173
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: he played better. They won I think their first eight

174
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: games that year with an incredible team effort, and he stayed. Hell,

175
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: they obviously got to the super Bowl, so in retrospect

176
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: it looks silly. Mike Silver was saying Nick Mullins might

177
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: replaced Jimmy Garoppolo, but Jimmy made it look silly and

178
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: he stayed healthy and the rest of the team obviously

179
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: they were a beast. So I would say it's the

180
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: same thing, and it usually is when a quarterback has

181
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: drafted that high. You know, Andy Dalton, Justin Fields, same thing. Yeah,

182
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's the guy. But if he isn't playing great,

183
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: or the team isn't winning, or he gets banged up

184
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: slash injured, you're gonna see Justin Fields. So with all

185
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: of that said, how Trey Lance looks to them and

186
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: how they perceive it will factor into that calculation about

187
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: whether to trade Jimmy. But I do think it's more

188
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: what you said. It's not where trading Jimmy, Okay, anyone

189
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: wanted him. It's when that call comes, and it could

190
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: come now, or it could come when you know a

191
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: team in September loses a guy. Then you go, okay,

192
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: cost benefit, we could play this k now and we'll

193
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: get this or you know what, it's too important. We

194
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: need Jimmy hare right now because we think we can

195
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: win it now. And remember Alex Smith. Kaepernick was a

196
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: similar dynamic there. Alex Smith played almost a perfect game,

197
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: and I think a perfect it was like twenty two

198
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: of twenty three, but suffered a concussion. They had to

199
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: turn it around four days later and play on Thursday night.

200
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: I went to that game against the Bears. Kaepernick, you know,

201
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: just look different and better and more athletic and took

202
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: the job. Pivot to the Colts. So I watched Jacob

203
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: Beeson play a lot in college because he played at

204
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: the University of Washington. He went to Georgia, He's from

205
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: the state of Washington, got beat out by Jake from

206
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: who they said just learned the system sooner quicker upstairs.

207
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: He's more cognitively capable of learning the Georgia's system fast.

208
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: Jacobson goes back to the state of Washington. The Huskies,

209
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: big strong kid, big arm my knocking him with Chris

210
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: Peterson was He was great on scripted plays, very good

211
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: in the first half. When asked after half to be

212
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: off script situations where judgment he's making a play in

213
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: his own he makes really bad throws and his judgment

214
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: is really really at times iffy. NFL games much faster.

215
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: I remember having a conversation with a scout. I was

216
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: at a practice and there was a scout there and

217
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: he knew I was from the Pacific Northwest, and I said,

218
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: I said, his arm makes him a great backup. But

219
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: I just saw him at Washington too many times with

220
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: a great coach, Chris Peterson. And if you if you

221
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: ask him, and this is the league now off script,

222
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: make a play. I don't trust him. So you spent

223
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: some time with him before the twenty twenty combine, what

224
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: did you hear? I just don't think he's a viable alternative.

225
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's had some real struggles early in camp.

226
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: What is your takeaway on the Colts feeling on him?

227
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: And you're feeling on him, well, great question. I did

228
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: spend some time with him kind of right before the

229
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: world shut down in twenty twenty. I liked him. I

230
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: could understand, you know, I understand what you're saying about.

231
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, physically he I saw him throw, you know,

232
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: it's very eye catching and like, WHOA, this is a

233
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: guy right? So yes, and he did. I thought he

234
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: might go a little higher in the draft because of that.

235
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: He didn't. Now it really hurt him and Jordan Love

236
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: and every single guy from that draft that there was

237
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: no real off season, right, there was no off season,

238
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: there was no preseason. So normally you'd say, well, they've

239
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: had him for a year. They know a little bit,

240
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: but they know less than they otherwise would, just like

241
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: the Packers though less about Jordan Love than they otherwise would.

242
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Of course, you know the Justin Herberts of the world. Yeah,

243
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: we know, we know, we know very glaringly. But you know,

244
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: it a quarterback who never sniffed the field as a

245
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: rookie last year. Jordan loved jacobieson we are It's a

246
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a tougher thing to evaluate, even internally. Now,

247
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard did the math on this. They had Jacoby

248
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: Brissette last year. He's had kind of a backup plan

249
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: each year in theory. This year his plan was, we're

250
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: going with Carson Wentz, who, yes, Frank Reik knows him

251
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: and has a comfort zone, but has been hurt a ton.

252
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: So it's not far fetched to believe that Carson Wentz

253
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: could be injured. So he felt comfortable saying, my backup

254
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: plan is this kid. So we're gonna see, right, and

255
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, they nothing precludes them from doing something between

256
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: now and the start of the season, including Hey Philip,

257
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: we love you man or Hey Andrew, how much do

258
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: you wear right now? One mind, but I mean they

259
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: could do something. But if he doesn't, then that tells me.

260
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, if you were from the outside, if you said, okay,

261
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: well Carson, that sound Frank Reik, that's his guy. That's

262
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: why they brought him in. Well, Jacobison being the week

263
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: one starter will be on Chris right, that was the

264
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: plan that this guy was ready to be the backup

265
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: with less information than usual. So that that makes me

266
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: inclined to think that he probably has a better chance

267
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: than on the outside were, you know, imagining. One of

268

301
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: justify them. Yeah, you're right, yes, yes. So I remember

302
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones first camp with the Giants, and there was

303
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot of skepticism about him as a number six pick,

304
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: and suddenly there were leaks from the Giants camp slow

305
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: mo videos of Daniel Jones making wonderful throws and it

306
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: was like nobody had video and it was leaking out

307
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like it slow mo and the throws were great.

308
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: And I remember at the time, you know, I'd been

309
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: at Fox couple years and I was talking to a

310
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: producer there and I'm like, this is so transparent and

311
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: orchestrated because they everybody is so down on him, They're

312
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: just leaking this stuff. So some of the stuff I'm

313
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: seeing from Tuah and the Dolphins feels like, oh, any

314
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: good throw, it gets social media within thirty seconds. But

315
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: what do you know. My takeaway is I've just seen this.

316
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: I know the game, Like like Tuah once a day,

317
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: a great video will come out and be like, Okay,

318
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: why that video come out? That's a that's an interesting

319
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: video the Dolphins released. They definitely want us to think

320
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: that two is getting better. They want TWA to think

321
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: he's getting better. They want the people in the huddle

322
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: to think he's getting better. But you're right, we're we're

323
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: not gonna know, and so listen, it's just human nature.

324
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: And they can say, oh, that's just media noise, it's not.

325
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: And I love Chris Greer. If Chris Greer and Brian

326
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: Flores are sitting there last year and they're like, yeah,

327
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: our guy, he's young, he's coming along. We had to

328
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: pull him out of some games that were importing to

329
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: us and throw Ryan Fitzpatrick in because he's better now.

330
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: But you know, we really believe in this kid. Wait

331
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: what did just to Herbert just do? Like whoa Like

332
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: it's just it's human nature, Like you could have had

333
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: that guy, but you took this guy. How do they

334
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: compare from the jump? Not well for you? Now, that

335
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean too I can't get better or doesn't mean

336
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: you you know, hate the fact that you picked him.

337
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: But you're watching this, you know revelatory guy, look like

338
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: he's just born to do it, and he's and I don't.

339
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, I want to underscore

340
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: the fact that he that first game where we all

341
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: went and then he built on it, he had no prep.

342
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn told me that, you know, the the Chargers

343
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: team doctors who might have been like doctor Bombay from

344
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Bewitched for you old people. They were like, hey, Tarad,

345
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: let's give you a little shot there. Oh, we just

346
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: puncture your lung. We're so sorry. You better go to

347
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: this ambulance right now and make sure you don't, you know,

348
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: have something horrible happened to you. And as that was

349
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: going on, like it's like and the Home of the Break.

350
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if they do flyovers there, but like

351
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: all that's going on, and finally Anthony went sister Justin Herbert,

352
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: who's pretty young and still doesn't know. He goes, hey,

353
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: you're starting, and Justin kind of gives him the laugh

354
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: like haha, and Anthony goes, no, seriously, dude, you're the

355
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. And then it's like there's the kickoff, and

356
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: then he went in. I think they had the ball first.

357
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: It was crazy and he was so good that you

358
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: know that. That's the takeaway. Like I look at two

359
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: of and if they I do think adding will Fuller

360
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: to the say the tight end. Uh DeVante Parker. I

361
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: think Jalen Waddle listen, I think some of this is

362
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: listen man. Even if he doesn't work, he can't bomb.

363
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: We have got to make this because Herbert is so good.

364
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: And Burrow, my gms, the guys I trust, freaking love Burrow. Yeah, Washington.

365
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera told me if Chase Young had gone one

366
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: or something, you know, something weird had happened. They were

367
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: taking Burrow at two in a heartbeat. You know they

368
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: they thought those two players were way above everyone else.

369
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: Now in retrospect, you put Herbert obviously right, but you

370
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: know it's it's funny, Mike Um. You can do everything

371
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: right in this league. If you f up quarterback, it

372
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Chris Ballard and Greer, they've done everything right.

373
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I know everything, and I mean I think maybe maybe

374
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: they overpaid for Byron Jones at corner. I would argue

375
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard. We've had this conversation. There's a few things

376
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: I would quibble with Chris Greer lately. I'll stay off

377
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: Chris Baller because he's down right now. Quittin Nelson just

378
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: not like, let's give him some clemency from me, but

379
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: Chris Greer just the way they're maneuvering that thing, you're right,

380
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: like they're doing and he and Flores are building something

381
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: potentially really really good. Oh no, there's no question. But

382
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: so I think with you know, look, it's not like, oh,

383
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: they just happened to Benjamin big games for Ryan Fitzpatrick. No,

384
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: they they needed to because to A couldn't do it.

385
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: It didn't help by the way that tah later said,

386
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: I probably should have studied more. You know, listen, if

387
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: you go back to the game, they beat a playoff team,

388
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: the Rams on a short week, traveled to the Eastern

389
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: time zone, and the Dolphins on a buy yeah, like

390
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: like and to A still couldn't over yards Like it's

391
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: we're getting to a point now if he struggles in September,

392
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: they made a mistake and they and they were in

393
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: theoretically in the off season on some of this, you know,

394
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Yeah, yeah, we're you know, we're in on that.

395
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were not. It wasn't like they were just like, hey, man,

396
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: we just drafted to it, don't even you know, no, no,

397
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: they were already thinking about it. So he's under a

398
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: lot of pressure to start well and play well. So

399
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys acknowledge Dak had a little bit of a setback.

400
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: And it's funny when you pull a groin, you often

401
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: pull the other side because you overcompensate. And my theory

402
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: is Dak with a leg injury is overcompensating by coming

403
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: more of an arm thrower in practice. It's just completely

404
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: natural and what I would do if I could throw. Yeah, right,

405
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: So I don't necessary Riley. I don't think it's a

406
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: big deal. But they don't have a backup plan either.

407
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: And you gotta let this puppy heal. And they're on

408
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: hard knocks and he's not playing, and their schedule is

409
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: pretty tough early, you know, they open with the Buccaneers.

410
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: Is there anything that concerns you a little about the

411
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: Dak news? Yes, because it's a quarterback and it's an arm.

412
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime it's a quarterback and it's a throwing arm,

413
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's fatigue or you know, there's

414
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: a little twins or yeah, I mean, you know how

415
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: it is it's it's like a picture. It's your arm, dude.

416
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: And so you know, quarterbacks can get by when they're

417
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: a little hobbled sometimes or you know, apparently without an

418
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: mcl if you're you know, Tom Brady, but I if

419
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: your arm starts getting you know, Jankie, then I'm concerned.

420
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: And you know, I covered Joe Montana, I consider the

421
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: greatest ever when I was young in the business and

422
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: he was coming off two MVPs and you know, almost

423
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: three Super Bowls a row, and all of a sudden

424
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: in training camp his elbow was just a little weird

425
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: and then next thing you do, he had surgery and

426
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: missed the whole year. Well, the next year he came

427
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: back and it was a quarterback competition between him and

428
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: Steve Young. Think about that, by the way, we were

429
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: covering that daily. But then I'll never forget up in

430
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: Rockland at Sierra College, he walked off early in the

431
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: middle of an afternoon practice, back to the locker room,

432
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: and I knew him. I saw his face and I'm like,

433
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: something else happ and it was the same elbow, maybe

434
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: not the same exact injury, but same elbow. Knew surgery

435
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: and he played again in the last the second half

436
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: of the last game of the regular season, the whole

437
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: other story, but he basically missed all of two years

438
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: and then was on the Chiefs. Yeah, so, you know,

439
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't worry a ton about it. But you know,

440
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: I always had this theory that, like the Lakers, they

441
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: added a bunch of pieces, but they've only really got

442
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: one player, Anthony Davis in his prime. Generally you have

443
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: to have like two stars in their prime to win

444
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: a title, preferably three to four players in their prime.

445
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis year ten has had so many injuries I'd

446
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: argue he just left his prime. So so it's funny

447
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys name the players in their prime Zeke

448
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: Zeke Isn't you know what they're hoping is that we

449
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know these guys that well, but they're gonna show

450
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 1: us this year. You're right, I mean the line, I

451
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: mean that, you know, maybe Zach Martin still is, but

452
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: like that, oh boy, that line was special. That's what

453
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: made oh yeah special, and that's that's far from its

454
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: prime collectively. But yeah, it's a's a good question, and

455
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: that's my point. Eight. Dak is one of the few

456
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: that's in his prime and now he's hurt. So like

457
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: Zeke's not, Amari's not, Ceedee Lamb probably is at the

458
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: end of this year. Nobody on the old line probably is.

459
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence should be but is under So my takeaway

460
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: and this thing is in the NBA, you need about

461
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: three good players either in their prime or damn close.

462
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: In the NFL you probably need about seven ye and

463
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: I just don't see a lot of cowboys in their prime. Okay.

464
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: So I do this with everybody I bring on TV

465
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: radio podcast. So every year there's a team that we

466
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: think is going to be good and they unplode. Last

467
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: year it's the Niners, and it's almost always due to injuries.

468
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: So I'm never going to ask you to predict that.

469
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: But then there's always a team that we think is

470
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: like a seven win team or a six win team

471
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: and they get the ten and we're like, WHOA. So

472
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell you on Sam Darnam Carolina and here's

473
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: my sales. Okay, Okay. So Chuba Hubbard is a very

474
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: important draft pick because like McCaffrey's a home run hitter,

475
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: nag Harris goes in the first round, but he's not

476
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: a home run hitter. He doesn't give you twenty plus chunks.

477
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Cuba, two of them are both home run hitters.

478
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Robbie Anderson. If Christiansen, the rookie from b

479
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: roy U, wins the left tackle job, I'm told Hee

480
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: Will Matt Rule second year, Joe Brady second year. Now,

481
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: they've got very good defensive line talent. They went last

482
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: year Derek Brown. They went big on safety, the secondary,

483
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: and they went big on the D line. So the

484
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: D line now is actually the best part of their defense.

485
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: You start looking at their pieces, Anderson's a home run hitter.

486
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Darnold's got a ton of juice, a playmaker, McCaffrey, Chuba, Hubbard,

487
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Dj Moore. This is a big playoff in a division

488
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: Saints in Atlanta. Atlanta's defense is in a rebuild. I

489
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: would argue the Saints are in a rebuild. They have

490
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the sixth easiest schedule. I start looking at Carolina and

491
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, the second year when new bright offensive guys

492
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: come in, there's a big leap. Also last year with

493
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: Matt Rule, no preseason, I think Carolina I could be

494
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: my Donald affection. I think Carolina has a chance to

495
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: be like a nine ten win team. And by the way,

496
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: it's ten and seven. I'm not saying they're great. Yeah, Like,

497
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: are you saying as good as a ten and six team?

498
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying finished second ten and seven wild card team,

499
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: Matt Rule, Darnold second year. You know what, I don't

500
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: hate it. Um. I don't know on Darnold, but I

501
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: do think Matt Rule, um, you know, is doing it

502
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: the right way and has a chance. Um. And it's

503
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,239
Speaker 1: not optimal conditions to come in now. Jim Harbad did

504
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: it in a lockout year, you know, and you know

505
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: Darner went to the super Bowl that first year. It

506
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: was crazy and then what the next year? So it

507
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: can be done. But yeah, well, we'll learn more about

508
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Matt Rule this year. I think they're potentially building something

509
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: I you know that's gonna be It's gonna be really

510
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: hard to adjust to the whole blank win you know conversation.

511
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm just realizing when you said Ted win, immediately I

512
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: started going, well, is ten and seven really that good? Like, well,

513
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: it's probably it is different. Basically ten and seven means

514
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: you hit a couple of game winning hit kicks. I mean, seriously,

515
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: it really means you had a couple of big plays

516
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: in a drive latent games, because I mean last year,

517
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers were involved in twelve one score

518
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: gamesast year, which led the league. Carolina and the good

519
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: Charger year they won all those one score games. It

520
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: was the opposite. Yeah, So a lot of times a

521
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: ten and seventeen is you made a plan a drive late.

522
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: That's it. You picked up a first down. So I mean,

523
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: give me, give me a team that I will go, wow,

524
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: I never thought of that. Well, I don't think. I

525
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: don't think if I said the Chargers, I don't think

526
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna think that. So that's right, that's right. So

527
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: I won't say them. But I do think they're gonna

528
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: be good. I would say, you know, that's and I

529
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: you've heard me talk about. I would say, you know,

530
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: I got one for you. I think, how do you

531
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: feel about Washington because they were seven and nine last year?

532
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: But okay, I think they're gonna be pretty good. Okay,

533
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: So Curtis Samuel is now their second elite receiver, and

534
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: their defensive line has it's the best young defensive line.

535
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: It's surpassed the Niners in the league, and it's really

536
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily close right now. I mean, it's it's four

537
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: dudes that can play. They're monsters. Yes, they're really good.

538
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: And now Jamie Davis right behind him. You know that

539
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: gets me excited potentially. But here's my knock on them.

540
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: The division's winnable. But Jesus, who are we kidding on

541
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick? Whence the last time he had good back

542
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: to back years? I mean, what are we talking about here? Yeah,

543
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: that's the you know what I'm hoping with Ryan Fitzpatrick

544
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: is sometimes when these guys get really old, they have

545
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: it so figured out and they're so calm that they're

546
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: better than you think. You know, all the way back

547
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: to Steve de Burgh when he was really old. But

548
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: for you old people. But you know, sometimes quarterbacks, you know,

549
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: they don't usually last because they get hurt and stuff.

550
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: So you're right, I'm hoping against all previous Ryan Fitzpatrick.

551
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: You know logic, because it usually goes in a circle, right, like, Wow,

552
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: he's really good. They should probably pay him, you know that.

553
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: It's like, ah, but you know Rod Rivera has constructed

554
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: it so that he's not asking the quarterback to win

555
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: a lot of games. He's asking the quarterback to manage it.

556
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: And you probably can't win the super Bowl doing that,

557
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: but you might be able to win eleven games, especially

558
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: in that division. Yeah, finally, you tweeted yesterday out of

559
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: nowhere that Maroon five super Bowl halftime show sucked, and

560
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: it was fairly random. And what was the revelation that

561
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: came to pass that you rush to your phone to

562
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: tweet that. Wow, I don't know that I can really

563
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: like do that justice right now, although I think over

564
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: beers you and I would probably be able to sort

565
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: that out a little better. But I consider myself a

566
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: connoisseur of the super Bowl halftime show and I remember

567
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: the Up with People days and uh, you know, I'm

568
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: a I love the classic rock stuff. So I thought

569
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: it was, you know, amazing with the Stones and the

570
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: who and all that. I always thought you two and

571
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: I would. I've always said I thought you two's halftime

572
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: show was the best that I have ever seen. It was. Yeah,

573
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: it was great. It was after nine eleven. It was

574
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, captivating and haunting and loud, and um, I

575
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: would stand by that. But though I you know, though

576
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: it's outside my zone of music a little bit. I

577
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: thought Lady Gaga stepped up to that thank you. I

578
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: thought it was I thought she crushed. He was she murdered, obliterated,

579
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: and and you know what we saw when she acted

580
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: in Stars Burn like she's so great at acting too,

581
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: like like she was on that level of a half ye,

582
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: So I would I would say, you two and Lady

583
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Gaga to be are the standard um And it's not.

584
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: Everyone can do a stadium. So I don't even want

585
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: to blame Maroon five like not. You think, wow, they're

586
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: really popular. I know some of their songs. They'd be

587
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: great in the stadium. No, they're not. I've been to

588
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of stadium shows over the years. Trust me,

589
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: some people can do it and some people it just

590
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: doesn't translate that well. And I just thought that was

591
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: a really poor choice. And it is interesting. I've been

592
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: around a thousand celebrities, right, Steven Tyler, Lady Gaga, you

593
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: can feel the stardom. I am wondering if you had,

594
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: in fact drowned that plane but somehow survived. Like that plane,

595
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: when you opened the airport restroom door, the flood came out,

596
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: and let's yes, it went up to everyone's neck and

597
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: there was like some swimming, but he's Sully the pilot,

598
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: Sully Sellenburger did and you guys lived and you were

599
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, you came playing on the story. I'm wondering

600
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: how famous you would be because you're very famous and

601
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: you earned it, you know, with you know, hard work,

602
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: but that would take you to a different level of fame,

603
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: like people I feel like in Indonesia would have an

604
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: awareness about you all of a sudden. I'm wondering, like

605
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: your aura might have changed. Yeah, for those listening to this,

606
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: I almost downed an American Airlines plane by in the

607
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: bathroom turning the water on and not being able to

608
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: get the sink off as it started flooding the bathroom.

609
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: It was ill fated trip long before that, but this,

610
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: this escalated things. You had to have the thought though

611
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: in that moment, I know you had that thought like

612
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: is this ever going to stop? And if it doesn't? Know?

613
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: There was ten seconds of absolute panic. I started kicking it.

614
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't shut it off. I got up on the bathroom,

615
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: started kicking it. I was panic for ten seconds. Do

616
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: we know what shut it off? Oh no, my foot

617
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: It eventually shut off. Yeah, no, no, I there was

618
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: ten seconds, and I'm like, I'm gonna flood the plane.

619
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: We're thirty three thousand feet, I'm gonna flood the plane.

620
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: And I didn't. And then and then I started splashing

621
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,359

00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: how it is like I could never be a CEO.

625
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm too emotional. I could never be a CEO of

626
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: a company where like the stock crashes and you're supposed

627

628
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: It's all good. Literally, a bathroom sink in ten seconds.

631
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: much cabin to fill up. We'd have gone down in

632
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: like four minutes. Were your kids like laughing really hard

633
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,520

636
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: of those things where I'm not sure I did. I

637
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: just knew. I think I may have told my daughter

638
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: it was it was Listen, I haven't had many of

639
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: these moments in life where you kind of freak out.

640
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: But there was, and they're usually very brief. So this summer,

641
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: I had ten seconds or I lost my ship, And

642
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: that's ten seconds at thirty three thousand feet is a

643
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: long time. Like that's not ten seconds at sea level,

644
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, ten seconds to thirty three thousand feet or

645
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: ten seconds at like you know, one hundred feet below.

646
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: Would you know in the ocean that would be big,

647
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: but like ten seconds could be long. Yeah. I mean

648
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: if you're flying a plane and you lose a second engine,

649
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: that's a long ten seconds. Yeah, that doesn't feel like
