Joel Clatt and I discussed the big ten 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: PAC twelve shake up and the big schools that could 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: be moving next. Mike Silver and I react to the 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Baker trade and talked about the Niners' concerns with Trey Lance. 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: They're real. Chad Millman stopped by the latest news. How's 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: it effect the betting odds? But first, my top takes 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: of the week. So here's my takeaway and Baker Mayfield, 21 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: Darnald and Baker Mayfield. I was a Donald fan over 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: a Baker fan. Darnold was a bigger athlete, he was stronger, 23 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: he was more athletic, and I thought he was a 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: better guy. I think all of those are true. The 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: question about Darnald was his delivery slow, methodical, not tebow slow, 26 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: but just inaccurate, kind of reckless. That's proven to be true. 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was considered a better thrower, but he was 28 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: a two time walk on chip on his shoulder in 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: those instances. He's become exactly what we thought, but he 30 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: has a better delivery system. He gets rid of the 31 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: ball quicker, he's got a little more zip on it, 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: and historically he's been a little bit more accurate, although 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: his accuracy has dipped in the last year. You know, 34 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: my takeaway is Darnald and Baker Mayfield, regardless of whose 35 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: right or what do you think, we know what they are. 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: There is no quarterback in the last ten years that 37 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: has come into the league and after four years we 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: radically change our mind. It doesn't happen. Name one. Very 39 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: early we said with Lamar Jackson, whoa but we had 40 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: issues how he threw the ball, and can you play 41 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: from behind when you're more runner than thrower. That's what 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: we think today. People often use Josh Allen as an example. 43 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: Boy he struggled in year one. Yeah, he wasn't overly accurate, 44 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: but he was still six six and leaping over people 45 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: with the best arm arguably in the NFL. There is 46 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: no way you could look at Josh Allen in year 47 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: one and bail on him. He was simply too talented. 48 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: He was literally too talented. He would be like a 49 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: great wide receiver that had the drops. You've got to 50 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: coach the drops out of him. But if you're running 51 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: a four to three, you're six to four, you run 52 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: great routes. You just have a drop issue. Nobody's bailing 53 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: on you. Okay, nobody was bailing on Josh Allen. It's different. 54 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: Baker's small. Sam's big, but he's not strikingly big. He 55 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: didn't have a great arm, he's not wildly mobile. The 56 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: bottom line with Baker and Darnold, we know what they are. 57 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: One's a little snarky and immature, limitations with size limitations 58 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: athletically Baker, one of them is a good guy. Pretty athletic, 59 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: decent size, but his delivery system stinks. He just gets 60 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: rid of the ball slowly, and that half beat that 61 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: works in the PAC twelve kills you in the NFL. 62 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: So what I have found through years of doing this 63 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: for a living, everybody wants to be right. A lot 64 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: of me was right on Baker, a lot of me 65 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: was wrong on Sam Darnald. But the truth is we 66 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: know what they are. If you're clinging to the Sam 67 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Darnold's going to be a franchise quarterback and a good one, 68 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. If you're clinging to Baker, 69 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: he's going to prove Coward wrong. You're wrong. Cleveland had 70 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: excellent offensive personnel and he was never spectacular with it. 71 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: Carolina is a bit of a mess. They had the 72 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: thirty first ranked offensive line. I like Christian McCaffrey, but 73 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: he's never healthy. Robbie Anderson's good, but not spectacular, and 74 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: we don't even think he likes Baker may feel Matt Rule, 75 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: who knows if he can coach at the NFL level. So, 76 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: in our insistence to be right, that's right on Baker, 77 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: that's wrong on Darnald. But we all know the answer 78 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: now on both neither is good enough to carry a 79 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: franchise to multiple playoff wins. Baker want a playoff surrounded 80 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: by at the time, the highest rated offensive line and 81 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: the best running back duo. We know what they are. 82 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: So the Kyrie Irving to the Lakers rumors and the 83 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warrior rumors. I don't 84 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: think those deals are going to happen in the next 85 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: day or two. And I'm not really sure. I'd bet 86 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: eighty twenty Katie to the Warriors will not happen. They're 87 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: not going to give up the farm. And I don't 88 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: think deep down Katie wants to be a Warrior. But 89 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving is in Los Angeles, is not leaving, it's 90 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: been said until a deal is done. And this is 91 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: something to think about that. I know a lot of 92 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: people that listen to my show, say, you know, Colin, 93 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: you talk about LA and California teams a lot because 94 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: they're all winning. The Warriors, the Dodgers, the Rams, the 95 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Lakers want a title three years ago, they're winning. Our 96 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: soccer team are good? People are good now? Lincoln Riley 97 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: at USC when I worked at ESPN for a decade, 98 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: you had more viable teams in the Northeast. The Giants 99 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl. You know, the Yankees were the Yankees. 100 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: The Red Sox were for some of that time excellent. 101 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: Right now, New York's going through a terrible state of 102 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: their sports, where their NBA teams and their NFL teams 103 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: are a mess. One of the things that's really happening 104 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles is that when the Rams moved to town, 105 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: the NFL is so powerful. It is taking market share 106 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: and big suite owners and advertising revenue from all the 107 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: other teams. And when the Rams win the Super Bowl, 108 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: it's bit the fear of God in Genie Bus. And 109 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, the Dodgers group that the Rams are here, 110 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: they're winning, They're becoming a model of the NFL, and 111 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: they're not going away anytime soon. And I think this 112 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: is a big part of Genie Bus, of the Lakers 113 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: willing to say, yeah, Kyrie's a headache, Kyrie is selfish. 114 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: It seems absurd. My father wouldn't have done this, but 115 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: it makes sense right now in Los Angeles. To get 116 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: Westbrook out of town and get Kyrie in. You'll become 117 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: a playoff team and you'll become relevant again. Inside the 118 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: walls of the Lakers, they are very aware of the 119 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: media criticism, and Genie is very aware that Steve Balmer 120 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: and the Clippers have more money, more net worth. They're 121 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: going to build a new arena, and they're going to 122 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: be a team that is like the Warriors, willing to 123 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: pay a heavy, heavy luxury tax. The Lakers would rather 124 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: not do that. The Bus family's wealth is all with 125 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: the Lakers. Steve Balmer's wealth with the Clippers is not. 126 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: It's not just with this pro basketball team. And so 127 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: I think there is a sense of, if not desperation 128 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: or panic, a little fear. You've got to make the 129 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Lakers relevant again. Pillows self tickets. You can give away tickets, 130 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: you can paper the crowd with freebees. But right now 131 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, if USC wins nine or ten games, 132 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: rams justin Herbert Dodgers, Clippers I think have to be 133 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: deemed as a top five team in the league next year. 134 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: Paul George and Kauai for the first time, maybe ever, 135 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: in the last thirty forty years, the Lakers are in 136 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: danger of becoming the fourth topic of conversation because the 137 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: Westbrook thing just does not work. It does not work. 138 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: Kyrie works, and you can talk yourself in as a fan, 139 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: as an owner, as a player. You can talk yourself 140 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: into Kyrie. A d Lebron Beaga championship team. I don't 141 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: think they are. You can talk yourself into it. You 142 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: can't if Westbrook is on this roster. Let's get the 143 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: Joel Clapp. So Joel claud is the voice of college 144 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: football on Fox, and we do a lot of deep dives, 145 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: although we have our TV segment every week where I 146 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: try to mentor him and he doesn't want to listen. 147 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: That's true, But this is interesting, Joel. About three months ago, 148 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: Mike Bone and I were on the phone. I was 149 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: in my backyard and he was talking about the challenges 150 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: of southern California. It's a very distracted market. And you know, 151 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: he was saying, Hey, do you have any ideas? And 152 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: I said, you can't play Rice in LA When Pete 153 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: Carroll was here, there was no NFL, there was no LAFC, 154 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: The Dodgers weren't as dominant. The Clippers were a joke. 155 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, the world's changed. You can't play Rice. I 156 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: said what I would do, Mike, I would call Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, 157 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: Ohio state and I would have one to two home 158 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: and homes every year Big ten because the PAC twelve 159 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: so weak. Lincoln Riley's not going to be challenged by 160 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: year two. He's just not going to be challenged on 161 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: a weekly basis. And it was funny, and there were 162 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: other things talked about during the call, but you know, 163 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: he was we were just talking. Mike's always called me 164 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: and just asked questions, you know, la. And so when 165 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: the moment happened and I got the call on USC 166 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: moving to the Big ten, and my thought was, well, 167 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was teasing me. If he was, 168 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: but I wasn't shocked by it at all, are you no? 169 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: Well let me initially yes, because I had not heard anything. 170 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: And normally and you know this, you and you and 171 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: I talk about this all the time, like when there 172 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: are things going on, like you hear little ripples, right, 173 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: like little things like oh okay, that would be interesting 174 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: you kind of this was I felt like very well 175 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: kept by everyone involved. And so when I initially heard it, 176 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: I was I was prized and I was shocked. And 177 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: then three minutes later after that wears off it's like, well, yeah, 178 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, like of course this happened. This was and um, 179 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: I think if you, if you really have any semblance 180 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: of thirty thousand foot view, this was inevitable and in 181 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: some way, UM So to me, it comes down to 182 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: and the conversation. I'm sure what he was talking to 183 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: you about, um is economics and exposure and in the 184 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: PAC twelve that had degraded both of those things drastically 185 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: since the beginning of the century. Really, you know, since 186 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: since since the liner Bush days at USC when the 187 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: PAC ten at the time was a viable and and 188 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: very healthy, um and and and great conference, and it 189 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: has deteriorated to a point that it has become a punchline. 190 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: And and I've thrown that line out there and people 191 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: think it's unfair, but it is fair because the PAC 192 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: twelve is literally a hashtag now called PAC twelve after dark, 193 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Like it's no one watches them play, right, And and 194 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: when you look at the economics of where the SEC 195 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: is about to go with their media right steal, and 196 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: where the Big ten is about to go with their 197 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: media rights steal, and what's on the horizon for the 198 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: conferences like the Big twelve the PAC twelve. The economics 199 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: weren't even close. Those conferences were going to start to 200 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 1: double up the others in terms of the revenue distribution 201 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: per school, and you can't sit in that situation. So 202 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: in some ways USC's hands were totally forced. And I 203 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: know that I'm going to talk a lot about this 204 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,359 Speaker 1: in terms of USC's because this was USC driven. Ucla 205 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: is along for the ride, and I know that they'll 206 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: bristle at that, but they are. And that's kind of 207 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: the truth. Well, you know, I've said this before. It's 208 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: easy to beat up on Tom Hanson and Larry Scott, 209 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: and I don't think either it was a visionary as 210 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: a PAC ten or PAC twelve commissioner. But there's something 211 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: I've tried to tell my friends for twenty years because 212 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: I've lived in all four corners of the country. The 213 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: PAC twelves at a disadvantage Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, 214 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: Slash Boulder. A lot of these teams are in professional 215 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: sports markets. SEC's not big twelves, not Big Ten's not 216 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: so USC and UCLA, University of Washington, Cal Stanford, Arizona 217 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: State are competing against pro teams. It is hard to 218 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: create the fervor and the interest when there's a game 219 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: tomorrow with professional players often in the same stadium or 220 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: same area code or vicinity, and so it doesn't mean 221 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: as much out here. I've noticed since the NFL arrived 222 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, UCLA, USCY, read the LA Times, listen 223 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: to sports talk radio. They're not on it. They're just 224 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: not a topic at all. I do still believe, and 225 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: I think you'll agree with this, um, I still believe 226 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: that USC has that potential. USC captures the heart of LA, 227 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: maybe more so than any other team that's here, even professionally. 228 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe other than the Lakers. Yeah, and maybe I'm 229 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: being to college centric, but boy, when when the USC 230 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: is rolling, they desperately love they love it. When USC 231 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: gets going here, it's it's, you know, everything about it, 232 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: the sunglasses on the band, the coliseum, the scene. I 233 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: still believe that USC can be kind of the focal 234 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: point of the sports world in their market, and no 235 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: other Pac twelve school can really do that. Yeah. No, 236 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: I do agree, Lincoln Riley. You know, it's it's funny 237 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: because I got a out of this. Whoa Lincoln Riley 238 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: doesn't want this. But when Lincoln Riley took that Sunday 239 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: morning call with Rick Caruso, Carol Fault, Mike Bone. I 240 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: don't know every word of it, but I do know 241 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: they sold him on moonshots and the Olympics and big 242 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: and expansion and playing the best. So he's got two 243 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:30,119 Speaker 1: years to load up this roster, two more transfer portal cycles, 244 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: two more recruiting classes. So by the time he gets 245 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: into the Big Ten, this this team will be ready 246 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: to play against anybody. I think at home against Ohio State, 247 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: maybe not in Columbus, but they'll be able to go 248 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: tell to tell with everybody else in that conference. So 249 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, when I look at the Lincoln Riley situation 250 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: and I say to myself, I don't know if he 251 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: knew going forward, but he's He's not a guy to me. 252 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: I think he left Oklahoma because a reality he set 253 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma is decreasing in terms of viability the state 254 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: for high school recruits. Texas has oil money, Sark and 255 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher harder to apply prior players out. He's moving 256 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: to the SEC and going to go up against SEC 257 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: schools that I've been recruiting those high schools for one 258 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: hundred years, and I think he looked in the mirror 259 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: and thought, I got to get to a state with 260 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: more players, because it's going to be harder and harder 261 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: with the nil to pry away players from Texas oil money. 262 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: There's just more money in Texas than Oklahoma. So that's 263 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: always been my takeaway why he left. He just looked 264 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: at the reality of his program Texas the SEC and thought, 265 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: I got to get to a bigger state. It could 266 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: be a Florida school, it could be a Texas school, 267 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: it could be a California school. If Kirby Smart was struggling, 268 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: it could be the Georgia job. But I got to 269 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: get to a state that is mine where the nil 270 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: money generated by my state can compete. I think that 271 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: there's only four schools in the country that can open 272 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: up their back door and be within an hour's drive 273 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: not flight drive of a recruiting base that could finish 274 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: number one in the country. I think it's Miami. I 275 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: think it's Georgia. I think it's probably LSU or Texas 276 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: or a combination of those two and then USCA, so 277 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, and maybe you throw A and M in there. 278 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: Because of the proximity of Texas. But my point is 279 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: that it is a really small number, and it does 280 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: not include Oklahoma. It doesn't even include Ohio state. You know, 281 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: they've got to be a national recruiter. It doesn't even 282 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: include Alabama. They can't sit in Alabama. They've got to 283 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: go out. They've got to win battles in Texas and 284 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: Louisiana and Georgia. I mean, you know this, right, And 285 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: so it's really made what Nick Saban has done even 286 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: more remarkable. But USC is one of those places where 287 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: you can open up the back door. You can get 288 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: in your car, you can you can drive south on 289 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: the five for an hour, you can drive north on 290 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: the five for an hour, and you can have a 291 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: roster that can finish this in number one class in 292 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: the country. That's I mean, that's the truth of it. 293 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: I think that was a big reason why. And I 294 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: think that he saw and I'm going to get crushed 295 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: for this, but I don't think Oklahoma is totally tapped out. 296 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: But I think he saw how perfect it had to 297 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: be in order for Oklahoma to win a national championship. 298 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: And I think that that USC probably has more wiggle 299 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: room in that because of what I was talking about 300 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: in recruiting, and that is not a knock on Oklahoma. 301 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: So I want to be abundantly clear here for everybody 302 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: that listening to this. I believe Oklahoma is a top tier, 303 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: blue chip program in college football. I think that they 304 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: will win. I like brin Ventibles a lot. I think 305 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: they can win at the top level. I believe they'll 306 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: win SEC championships in the future, and I think that 307 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: they still and can win a national championship. I do 308 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: believe that it's harder there than it can be at 309 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: USC and I believe that even more so now after 310 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: this move with US go on to the Big Ten. 311 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: I was told by somebody who I trust, the Big 312 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: Ten will only add Notre Dame, and I think it 313 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. I would agree with that. 314 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm gonna i'll jump in. I completely 315 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: agree with that. I don't think they expand anymore unless 316 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: it's Notre Dame. I agree. I think it's harder and 317 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: harder to be independent. Let's touch on that. Because Notre 318 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: Dame was independent forever then conjoined with the ACC half 319 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: the way, why can't you be independent and viable anymore? 320 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: Explain that, Oh, that's a great question. The revenue is 321 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: too great from conferences, Yes, because there's only six or 322 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: seven games that you're selling. As an independent, you've got 323 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: to find the revenue out of your road games. Okay, 324 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: when you're in a conference. So Ohio State, let's just 325 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: bring up Ohio State and Notre Dame. Kay, that's the difference. 326 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: Ohio State is essentially in the Big Ten, selling both 327 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: their home games and their away games. So if they're 328 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: maximizing their brand regardless of where they're playing, Notre Dame 329 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: doesn't do that. So Notre Dame is maximizing their brand 330 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: in their home games because those are the ones that 331 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: they own. But they have to have some sort of 332 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: other arrangement for a grant of rights for their road 333 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: games in order to supplement the rest of the revenue 334 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: that a team like Ohio State would get from their conference. Now, 335 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: the trade off is that Ohio State then has to 336 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: go and share evenly amongst the other schools in their conference. 337 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: I do believe that it is getting to a point 338 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: where Notre Dame is sitting there and they're thinking to themselves, 339 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: we are leaving money on the table by being associated 340 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: with the acc in our loose affiliation with them in 341 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: a football sense, and then obviously with the other sports, 342 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: versus potentially two other options. So let's let me walk 343 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: through the options. Here's what I think Notre Dame. This 344 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: is what's on the table for Notre Dame. I do 345 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: believe that they can stay independent, maybe not for a 346 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: long time, but at least for the near term. As 347 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: long as they were to leave the ACC scheduling partnership 348 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: that they have, they leave all their other sports, they 349 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: basically leave the ACC, join the Big Ten in every 350 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: other sport but football, and then get the loose scheduling 351 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: agreement with the Big Ten. I believe that they would 352 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: garner enough revenue at that point where they could stay independent. 353 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: There will become a time when that is going to 354 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: be moot and they're going to have to fold themselves 355 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: into the Big Ten. There is an air of inevitability 356 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: that Notre Dame will at some point be a Big 357 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: Ten member. I just don't know if that's in the 358 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: next three years, five years, or ten years.

And with that I 388 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: bring in the newest member of the volume, my friend 389 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: Mike Silver, longtime NFL reporter Open Mike is his new 390 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: podcast on the volume, already interviewed Ram's head coach Sean 391 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: McVeigh Cowboys star receiver Cede Lamb. All right, Mike, So 392 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: this morning I'm hosting my show and right in the 393 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: middle of it, I'm talking about there's seven eight teams 394 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield could land with, and in the middle of 395 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: my rant, he lands in Carolina. My first takeaway is this, 396 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: they paid five million dollars for him, meaning he could 397 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: have been had by anybody in the league, and Carolina 398 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: was the only real team interested. Is that reasonable? Well, 399 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: they were more interested, or they got interested enough to 400 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: the point where they wanted to remove any possibility that 401 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: he'd go elsewhere, and or you know, there's there's a 402 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: real advantage in getting going getting him the playbook, having him, 403 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, giving him a little time before training camp 404 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: to start acclimating to all that and talking to his coaches. 405 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: But before I was officially part of the Volume family. 406 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm extremely elated about that. But 407 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: you and I did one of these and literally we 408 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: heard the Tavante Adams trade news in real time, and 409 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: I think it became kind of a joke on Twitter 410 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: by reaction because I was like, you know, like, whoa man. 411 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: So I do love when that happens. You know. One 412 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: of the things I reported a few months ago is 413 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: that owners were so bitter about the Deshaun Watson guaranteed contract, 414 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: ay that it was a guaranteed deal, b that it 415 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: was a player with you know, going through so off 416 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: the field stuff that knowing that the Browns were also 417 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: on the hook for Baker's eighteen plus guaranteed that owners 418 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: were saying, we're not bailing you out of this, We're 419 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: not gonna It's not that We don't think five million 420 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: dollars for Baker Mayfield is a good deal for us 421 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: this season, even with leverage. It's that you guys made 422 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: your bed and we're gonna make you lye at it now. 423 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: It would standard reason that the one owner willing to 424 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: buck that sensibility would be David Tupper, the guy who 425 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: enraged his new peers earlier by paying Matt Rules so 426 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: much buddy what he hired him. So I think it 427 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: made sense though for the Panthers. Look, if you want him, 428 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: if you think he's better than what you got, and 429 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: especially if you're Matt Rule and you really need to 430 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: win this year, what are you waiting for? It's interesting. 431 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks came on my show and he said, I 432 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: think Sam Darnold's going to beat him out. He said, 433 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: he's more impressive physically, he has relationships in the building. 434 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: Baker's going to have to learn a new offense with 435 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: a new coordinator, has no relationships. In fact, Robbie Anderson 436 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: badmouthed him, and he said, I think it's going to 437 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: be a quarterback battle. I don't think Baker Mayfield has 438 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: been given the starting job. What's your take? Well, first 439 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: of all, I think the Robbie Anderson who bashed him 440 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: was Robby Anderson. He's now Robbie, which is in fact, 441 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: the better way to spell Robbie. I have a son 442 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: who would agree. But so maybe maybe we'll give rob 443 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: b Ie Anderson the benefit of the doubt. But yeah, 444 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: I understand what Bucky's saying. He's he's so smart about, 445 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, the intricacies of playing the game and scouting 446 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: the game. But I also, you know, I harkened back 447 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: to what I think it was a commander's related quote 448 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: with Taylor Heineke said about him and Carson Wentz, which 449 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: is they asked him, hey, do you think you could 450 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: compete with Carson Wentz? And he's like, dude, look at 451 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: what he's making and look at what I'm making. No, 452 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: now it's not quite that pronounced obviously with Donald and Baker, 453 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, in similar situations. But the Panthers went out 454 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: and got Baker for a reason. It's not insurance in 455 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: case Sam Donald doesn't beat him out. They've seen Sam Donald, 456 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: they've seen Cam Newton coming back, they've seen Teddy Bridgewater. 457 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: They think they need to get better, and they are 458 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: absolutely intending for Baker to be that guy. And in 459 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 1: fairness to Baker, you know, last year he probably wasn't right. 460 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: He did have the shoulder injury, he got it it out, 461 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: he tried to help the team and now it's big 462 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: used to get of the year before he had a 463 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: pretty good year. So he's been uneven even when healthy, 464 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: and it's gonna you know, it's it's not any sure thing, 465 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: especially as you alluded to with your conversation with Bucky 466 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: New playbook, got to do it in a compressed time. 467 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: But I do think he's got a chance here to 468 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: seize this and get it rolling a little bit. Yeah, 469 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, one of the my takeaways was, you know, 470 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: he's not going to have Cleveland's offensive line, but he 471 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: does get another offensive coach. And if you look at 472 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: some of the defensive head coaches, Belichick struggled with Brady 473 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: at the end, Pete Carroll struggled with Russ, Zimmer struggled 474 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: with Cousins, Flora struggled with Tua. It's not the worst 475 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: landing spot. It's a pretty wonky division. Mike Brady retires 476 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: in a year, Baker, an argument can be made in 477 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: a year will be the best quarterback talent in the division. 478 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean he's crazy. I mean, I mean I might 479 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: argue Jamis on talent um. You know, Jamis has his 480 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: scars too, right, he threw all the interceptions, he has 481 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: had some off the field stuff. He's coming off at 482 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: acl But really, once Sean Payton got a hold of him, 483 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: he's looked better. Man. He's an ultra talented guy. Probably 484 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: if you you know, didn't know anything about um, you 485 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: know their performances, and you just line the two guys 486 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: up to former number one overall picks, you go, I'll 487 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: take the tall guy with that arm coming off the knee. 488 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: But um, you know the thing I wonder about is 489 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: Baker's edge, right, Like he's done better when he's been 490 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: the aggrieve deflicted, you know, underdog, no one believes in me, 491 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: and that is clearly gonna have to uh, you know, 492 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to recalibrate that, and it probably is. 493 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's definitely has to have some humility now. 494 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: And you know, look, we've all we've all had moments 495 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: where that's happened to us in our careers, and you know, 496 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: you have to you have to deal with it. It 497 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: doesn't work out the way you thought it would somewhere, 498 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: and um, you know you have to kind of process 499 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: that within yourself. But he kind of thought when he 500 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: got to Cleveland, I'm taking over. This is my thing, um. 501 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: And it was going on a good trajectory for a while. 502 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: Uneven but two years ago, when they were in the 503 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: playoff game in Kansas City, it was like, whoa, they 504 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: just beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs and now they're they're 505 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: fighting tooth and nail with the Chiefs. We're here to stay. 506 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: In Baker's eyes, I'm sure he's thinking, I try to 507 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: be a team guy and took you know, sucked it 508 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: up and played hurt and now you turn your back. 509 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: Come me. But it's really hard for me to shed 510 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: too many tears for Baker, knowing how he behaved early 511 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: on in his career. And I know you and I 512 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: were two of the only people even daring to say 513 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: these things back then. But you know, as someone who's 514 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: pretty close to Hugh Jackson, I thought it was ridiculously 515 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: disrespectful the way he acted in the wake of Hugh 516 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: Jackson's firing and then hiring by the Bengals and then 517 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: showing them up on the sidelines and just going out 518 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: of his way to try to, you know, torture a 519 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: guy who had just had his career implode in a 520 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: really disadvantageous situation in Cleveland. And we could relitigate that. 521 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of reasons who didn't do 522 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: well there. Some of them are because of who, some 523 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 1: of them were institutional. But I as I said at 524 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: the time, you know, there was there was talk that 525 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: same year that say, John Harbaugh could get fired during 526 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: the season, and I said, imagine if John Harbaugh gotten fired, 527 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: had landed with a division rival, was standing on the 528 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: sidelines and Lamar Jackson was just blatantly taunting of a 529 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: disrespecting him during the game after the game, I think 530 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: that would have played a little differently in society for 531 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: obvious Yeah. No, I mean, listen, Baker's got a maturity issue. 532 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: I know when he was coming out, I met somebody knew, 533 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: somebody who interviewed his dad, and he said, oh boy, 534 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff there. There's a lot of 535 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of ego and pride, and so I 536 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: think Baker's been exactly you know, I do a segment 537 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: called Colin Right, Colin Wrong. I think one of my 538 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: rights was Baker Mayfield, who I always said, this ego, 539 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: this snark, it's not going to play at the professional level. 540 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: It just doesn't. Didn't Jay Cutler's more talented, it didn't 541 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: play at War. People out. Jeff George more talented, Snyde 542 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: and Snark wore people out. It's a whole different ball game. Well, 543 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: you're always connected to the Niners. My takeaway, I think 544 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: you and I probably agree on this is my takeaway 545 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: is you can't own the room as a quarterback if 546 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: another guy is in the room who everybody likes. And 547 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: Garoppolo is really a dude's dude. He's a guy's guy. 548 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: And to me, you've got to find out if Trey 549 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: Lance can play, and you can't ask him to own 550 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: a room when the world's best looking, coolest dudes two 551 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: cubicles away. I think the Niners have to just move 552 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: off of Garoppolo and get a six round pick. I 553 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: completely hear you. But this is the counterpoint, and this 554 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: is the conundrum. So you've got a team that is 555 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: built to win. Now this is the window. George Kittle, 556 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: you don't know how long he's gonna do this. You know, 557 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: You've got guys signed for this moment, and you were 558 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: good enough to win. Now, if Jaquiski Tart, you know, 559 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: catches the interception, you might have won it last year. 560 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: You almost wanted two years earlier. Yes, you are all 561 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: in on Trey Lance. Whether or not that was the 562 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: person when you traded those three first rounders that you 563 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: were envisioning could have been Mac Jones. Again, I won't 564 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: relitigate that, but whatever it is, you did that for 565 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: Trey Lance. So you are all in. You are built 566 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: to win. Now, let me add another weird element to this. 567 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: You are constructed offensively to take advantage of Jimmy Garoppolo's 568 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: unique gifts incredible accuracy, willingness to hang in, the guts 569 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: to deliver a ball in tight spaces, and the uncanny 570 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: ability to do that accurately. So Jimmy's not perfect. We 571 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: could talk about what he doesn't do great. He does 572 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: those things great like elite and you've got Debot, you've 573 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: got auk because after the catch guy, you've got you shook. 574 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: On the backside, you've got Kittle. All these guys could 575 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: get the ball in tight spaces and go. So that's 576 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: what Jimmy does great. And so if you've seen Trey 577 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 1: Lance practice now for a whole year, yeah, I believe 578 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: this is what you think if you're Kyle and the 579 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: Niners coaches. In fact, I know you think he is 580 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: really smart. We love that he is athletically awesome. He 581 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: has a great arm. We're not sure that he can 582 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: take that great arm and throw that ball in those 583 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: type spaces really accurately. And if and so, that's the 584 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: only reason I think, deep in his heart, Kyle may 585 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: want it to hedge because your team is to build. Now. 586 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to because of what you said, 587 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: which is very logical. And I don't think even if 588 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: he wants to, he'll be able to because I think 589 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy will force the issue as nice a guy as 590 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: he is. And I think all of that's right. But 591 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: if you're a Nner fan, it's a little scary because 592 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: you were you know, you were sitting there nicely at 593 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium watching your team with a ted point lead 594 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship game against the rival and thinking 595 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: we're going with the super Bowl, and Jimmy, this is amazing, 596 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: and now you're going, okay, so we're basically playing Russian 597 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: roulette here. We are either gonna be in awesome shape 598 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: with this young guy eventually and hopefully the windows still open, 599 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: or we traded three ones for a guy who's not 600 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: able to do what our team was constructed to have 601 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: the quarterback do, and by the time we fix that, 602 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be gone. That's a scary feeling. Well, you 603 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 1: and I may have the same source and may not, 604 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: but i've I've said when I saw Trey Lance play esthetically, 605 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: it's ugly. It's not Philip Rivers ugly, but it's not 606 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: a pretty delivery. It's really rough. Secondly, what you're saying 607 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: is what I'm hearing is that he's not His delivery 608 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: is they're kind of rebuilding it. He it's arm fatigue, 609 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: it's not an easy throws. He needs days off, and 610 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: they're worried about his accuracy. You and I are here 611 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 1: in the same things because you and I know Annie 612 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: Reid moved off Alex Smith who gone to the playoffs 613 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: because they were at practice they saw mahomes right. Yeah. 614 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 1: By the way, Buffalo, even though Josh Allen struggled first year, 615 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: was all in because they were a package. And I 616 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: want to caution fans here, what happened with Josh Allen 617 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: is a as far as I know, such an anomaly 618 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: that it is a once in forever thing that a 619 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: fifty five percent passer could be a seventy percent passer 620 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: like that. Like they say, you can't coach accuracy, Brian 621 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: day Ball apparently can and as a head coach because 622 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: of it. Now, But that was weird what happened with 623 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But for the most part, it is, you know, 624 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: it's tough to get way, way more accurate now. The 625 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: arm fatigue is a really interesting thing, and I have 626 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: heard that too, and I just would again like people 627 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: don't think this is just the two of us, you know, 628 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Yeah, let's just look at some facts. You know, 629 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: last year they were going to use a tray lance package. 630 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: They were thrilled about it. Yeah, they were that was 631 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: going to be a big, big weapon for them. They 632 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: started out doing it and then they just stopped. So 633 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: something happened to convince Kyle Shanahan I don't gain by 634 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: putting tray lance in Situationally. Another thing that happened is 635 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: they were three and five and I went to the 636 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: game that dropped him to three and five at home 637 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. They looked flat, they looked done. Their 638 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: playmakers weren't making plays. They look like a dead team. 639 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: And usually when you're when you look like a dead team, 640 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: and you traded three first round picks for a promising rookie, 641 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: the you know the eight, the march before we know 642 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: what happens. Jimmy, you're on the bench, Tray Lance. Let's 643 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: see now, they hug with Jimmy, they beat the Rams, 644 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: they got well, they made the run. So maybe Kyle 645 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: was a half away from doing that anyway. But the 646 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: fact to me that they stopped using Trey Lance at 647 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: all and they didn't put him in when the season 648 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: was crossed ut tells me they were seeing something that 649 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: was concerning. Let me throw a source at you. There's 650 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: a lot of attention paid to Trey Lance. But so 651 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: far in that quarterback draft, we know Trevor Lawrence had 652 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: a bad first coach, but as real talent, we know 653 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: Mac Jones may have a low ceiling, but he's been 654 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: pretty effective. The two that we think are talents but 655 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: we don't know are Trey Lance in justin fields well, 656 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: Wilson I think fits in there too. Yeah, Zach Wilson 657 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: we've seen more of. But Zach Wilson had size issues, 658 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: competition issues like Tray and Justin are big, strong, mobile, 659 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: push the ball down the field guys. Yeah, how about this. 660 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: The current GM of the Bears did not draft Justin Fields. 661 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: The current coach of the Bears had no reported fondness 662 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 1: of Justin Fields. I have been told they're not necessarily 663 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: sold on Justin Fields. They don't know, they don't know. 664 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: That's a that's that I would do nothing to, you know, 665 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: to dispute all that, because it's legit, right, I mean, 666 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: it's legit that that could happen. Right, They didn't pick them. Now, 667 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: I presume they had the discussions with ownership before they 668 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: were hired, and I presume ownership wanted to hear, ye, hey, 669 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,479 Speaker 1: you drafted a winner. We're going to make them great. 670 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: But we've had that before Jake Gruden came in. It 671 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: was like, I can fix RG three her cousins is 672 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: the guy, right, So I would say this, I we 673 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: don't know about any of them. I mean, Trevor Lawrence 674 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: had urban kicking his kicker and trading cap etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. 675 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to give him a mulligan there. And 676 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: people think he's talented. Zach Wilson supposed to have incredible 677 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: arm talent. Now yeah they said, oh he's cocky. Now, 678 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: by the way, only time that all the top quarterbacks 679 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: were being called smart by everyone in my Usually it's 680 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: like half and half, like apparently all these guys are smart. 681 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: So Zack Wilson didn't look great. We're gonna have to see. 682 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 1: They got him a better roster this year. But jury's 683 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: still out on the top two. Tray Lance absolutely, we 684 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: just covered that justin Fields. Absolutely, Chicago, Chicago's a graveyard 685 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. We're gonna see. And oh, by the way, 686 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, Now, Mac Jones most celebrated when of his 687 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: rookie year was when he threw two passes I think 688 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: two or three whatever, Yeah whatever, Bill did that game. 689 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: And look, I know everyone says low ceil I got 690 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: back Jones, and I think this is part of why 691 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: Kyle by have tucked himself out of taking them. But 692 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 1: the real nerdy talent evaluators that I've talked to at 693 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: high levels think that he has the ability to be 694 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: elite in terms of pocket movement and awareness and able 695 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: to deliver the ball, ability to deliver the ball at 696 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: weird angles and tough angles under duress. That that's not 697 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: just good, that that could be special. So there are 698 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: a lot of different ways a quarterback could be special. 699 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: It's possible that mac Jones will become special and everyone 700 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: will go well, Bill and them just saw it, and 701 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: nobody else did except Kyle, who talked himself out. Oh 702 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: there I go again. But we we really don't know. 703 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: They could all be good, they could all suck more 704 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: more likely than not, one or two of them will 705 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: be good. One or two of them won't one or 706 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 1: you know, someone will be in the middle. But make 707 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: no mistake, the clock is ticking on all of them, 708 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: and you know some may be under more pressure than 709 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: other others. I would think Trey Lance would be under 710 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,919 Speaker 1: the most pressure because of the stakes, because that team 711 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 1: is that good. Um, But there's a lot still that 712 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: we don't know. And I think if you and I 713 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: come back in November and do this, you and I 714 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: will both have really strong opinions about all time. Yeah, 715 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: my guess is Trevor Lawrence has the trust of the staff. 716 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: As you put it, a mulligan, but he's just he 717 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: really looks the part on some throws. I would put 718 00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: a question mark on Trey on Fields at Zack and 719 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: on Mac Jones. Yeah yeah, and really Trevor. And we 720 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: think Trevor, we think Trevor's good, but I mean, you know, yikes, 721 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: and look, you know, I don't want to rip on Trevor. 722 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: He could end up being great, but like he kind 723 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: of took a step back as all that clown show 724 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: was going on. I'm thinking what Peyton Manning would have 725 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: done as a rookie, even when he threw all those interceptions. 726 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: If Peyton Manning had walked into his rookie year to that, 727 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: I think he would have strangled Urban Meyer on television. 728 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: All right. Chad Milman, chief content officer of the Action Network, 729 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 1: is stopping by for a little summer discussion. For the record, 730 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: I just got back from Turks and Caicos, which is 731 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: very warm in June and early July. But I will 732 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: tell you this, Milman, I'd never been to the Caribbean 733 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: spectacular Lee, surely wonderful local people. Not sure if you've 734 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,760 Speaker 1: ever taken your beautiful wife and kids to the Turks. 735 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. What say you. I have not 736 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 1: been to what we like to call T and C, 737 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: but I have been around the area and it's phenomenal. 738 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: It makes you feel like you can see to the 739 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: end of the world and you're never going to reach it, 740 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: and you don't care because you're so relaxed, because you're 741 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: just having a drink. You're sitting by an infinity pool, 742 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 1: You're reading a book in your case, You're posting Instagram 743 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: videos every thirty seconds, responding to the news, usually shirtless, 744 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: with someone in the background either looking at you funny 745 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 1: or wondering why is this guy talking to a camera? 746 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: Or it was one of your family that was wondering 747 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: why is he still working when we're on vacation in 748 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: Turks and cakeous, But I will say vacation generally has 749 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: never been more important and restorative. Yeah, no, kidding, right, 750 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: all right, this is our segment called Sharpen Square. So 751 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,359 Speaker 1: I thought this week, the week one lines are out, 752 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you three games I really really love, 753 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: not like love, and then you can give me a 754 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 1: couple you like, and I want you to respond to mine. 755 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: So okay, I'm want to give you my three and 756 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 1: you respond to him, Yep. First game. I like Detroit 757 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: plus four against Philly. I think by the end of 758 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,839 Speaker 1: the year Philly is better. But I thought last year 759 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: Detroit was about as competitive as a bad team could be. 760 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,760 Speaker 1: I like their off season between t J Hawkinson, Amron 761 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 1: Sat Brown, Piney, Seul DeAndre Swift, Jared Goff more than 762 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: a competent offense. Philadelphia has got some new pieces. I 763 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: think eventually they gel. But Week one, you know, Chad, 764 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,719 Speaker 1: average teams don't think they're average in September. They know it. 765 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: By October, there is no way I can lay four points. 766 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: I love the Lions plus four. Sharper Square look the 767 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 1: Lions as a dog, the Lions as a home dog. 768 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: That's going to be a theme for us throughout twenty 769 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: twenty two. I love this play. The wise guys love 770 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 1: this play. The line in a lot of places has 771 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,399 Speaker 1: moved in the Lions direction meeting. It's gone from four 772 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: and a half down to four. The Lions are a 773 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 1: team that believes right, and the Lions are a team 774 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 1: that also knows who they are. They are as The 775 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 1: Lions are a team that got more talented, and the 776 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: Eagles are a team that is already starting to have 777 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: to defend against ideas that they are an all star team. Right, 778 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: what did aj Brown say last week? You were on vacation. 779 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,720 Speaker 1: You might not have seen it. Then again, you responded 780 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: to everything, so you probably did. Yeah, he's saying we're 781 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 1: not a team of all stars yet. And look everyone 782 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 1: thinks Jalen hurts. They're talking about how Jack Dee is, 783 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: how much better he's gotten. I'm a believer on the Eagles. 784 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,319 Speaker 1: If you ask me, do I like the Eagles over 785 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: nine and a half wins? I like the Eagles over 786 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: nine and a half wins? Do I like the Eagles 787 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: to cover in Week one on the road at Detroit 788 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: against the coach who the jury is out, whether he's 789 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: good or not. But I am a huge fan of 790 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, and I do think getting this team Jack 791 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 1: for Week one as a home underdog, that is the 792 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,800 Speaker 1: team I want to play. All Right, here's the second 793 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: one I love. I'm gonna go an order of love. 794 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: I love that one. I really love this one. Raiders 795 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 1: getting over a field goal at the Chargers. It'll be 796 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: a sixty five thirty five Raiders crowd. Davante Adams two, 797 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro to Josh Jacobs to Darren Waller, Josh McDaniels 798 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 1: is a very clever offensive coordinator. Is he a great 799 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,240 Speaker 1: head coach? I don't know, but I thought the Raiders 800 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 1: and I think they had a great offseason making the playoffs. 801 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of really positive energy around 802 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: this team. It's going to be really a home game, 803 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 1: and the verdicts out on I think the Chargers have 804 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: a really good roster. There is no proof that they 805 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: win big games. There is proof they're talented, but in 806 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: games like this, they're not good enough to give over 807 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 1: a field goal. I like the Raiders a lot here, Yeah, 808 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 1: I agree, Like, look, you've got an intradivision game against 809 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: two teams that a lot of people would say are 810 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 1: relatively evenly matched. The Raiders got better on offense. The 811 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: Chargers got much much better on defense, just by virtue 812 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 1: of getting some players back, plus some of the trades 813 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: they've made to improve their pass rush. Games like this, 814 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,879 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be more then a field goal. It should 815 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: be a field goal, and when it's a field goal, 816 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 1: you should pass. If it's minus three and a half, 817 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 1: you should take the underdog. If it's two and a half. 818 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,359 Speaker 1: You should take the favorite and that's it. So right 819 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 1: now this number is sitting at four. You gotta take 820 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 1: the Raiders in this spotre Okay, here's my favorite pick 821 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,879 Speaker 1: Week one, Minnesota at home getting points against Green Bay. 822 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: So here's why I like it. First of all, I 823 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: think the Vikings will be the most improved team in 824 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 1: the league. Kirk Cousins has a new contract, He's in 825 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 1: a good mood. He also has the taller Sean McVay coach. 826 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: The league is changing defensive coaches who are legends. Pete 827 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: Carroll in trouble. Tomlin hasn't won a big playoff game 828 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: in a decade. Bill Belichick fields mediocre, Zimmer fired, Fangio fired, 829 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: Floras fired, Rivera getting heat. There is one ascending defensive 830 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: coach in the league, Sean McDermott, and that's mostly because 831 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: of Josh Allen. The league has changed offensive coaches win. 832 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 1: That's they have a relationship with the quarterbacks. Brady couldn't 833 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: get along with Belichick at the end. Two couldn't get 834 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 1: along with Flores, Zimmer couldn't get along with Cousins, Pete 835 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 1: couldn't get along with Russell Wilson, Vic Fangio couldn't get 836 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,720 Speaker 1: along with any of his quarterbacks. It works. Kirk's got money, 837 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 1: he's got security, he's got an offensive coach. We both 838 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: liked their weapons. They have nice players all over the offense. 839 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay could be good, but there's no proof that 840 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in week one is going to trust a 841 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: rookie college receiver from an FCF school, or Alan Lazard 842 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 1: being his one, or Sammy Watkins being dependable on a 843 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: flag route. That may develop, but Aarons trust issues with 844 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,839 Speaker 1: his own family. We saw it in the playoff game 845 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 1: with teammates for years, Minnesota early. They're bringing a new offense, 846 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: green Bay's gonna be guessing. We know what green Bay's 847 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna do, and Minnesota's got tape on what they do. 848 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: Love the Vikings here. You are one hundred percent correct 849 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,879 Speaker 1: about the Vikings in this spot. A short home dog 850 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 1: against a very public team is always going to be 851 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: the side you want to take. I do feel like 852 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: you've got a little vacation brain if you're trying to 853 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: compare Mike Zimmer and Vic Fangio and how Vic Fangio 854 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 1: did with no quarterbacks, or how Mike Zimmer did with 855 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and their defensive pet degrees as assistant coaches 856 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: with Mike Tomlin and Bill Belichick and the history they 857 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 1: have as super Bowl winning coaches. Entirely different conversations that 858 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: should not be a factor and why you're betting on 859 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 1: the Vikings against the Packers. Agree with you one hundred 860 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: percent about the Packers in the spot. Who are their 861 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: offensive weapons, who will Aaron Rodgers trust? How are they 862 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 1: going to build a game plan about anybody? And how 863 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 1: can they get downfield? I also I kind of disagree 864 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 1: about kirk Cousins being comfortable. I think the reason you 865 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: take the Vikings here almost has nothing to do with 866 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 1: the talent on the field. If you're a profess no better, 867 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: you're looking at this number and you're taking it because 868 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: of the percentages, because of what the president tells you. 869 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: Because you know you've got a matchup of a Vikings 870 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 1: team that is very competitive, that lost close games last 871 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: year and has experienced beating the Packers and beating Aaron Rodgers, 872 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 1: and you're getting them as a short home dog. You 873 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: know the public is going to be on the Packers. 874 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 1: You want to be in the Viking show.
