Speaker 1: but you know Jimmy Garoppolo story DeAndre Hopkins, I was like, yeah,

00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: You gotta keep the train rolling down the tracks. So

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: that that's what we're gonna do. If you ever want

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,959

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Garoppolo who's injured again, DeAndre Hopkins who is released,

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: and then only answer some of your questions. Hopefully everyone

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: had a good weekend drinking, hanging, barbecuing, kicking it, getting

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: some sun, the lake, the river, the ocean, the pool,

27
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, wherever you guys are in some water, because

28
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: that's I would say, Memorial Day, Labor Day just feel

29
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: like water events, right, Unless you work in the NFL,

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Labor Day is actually a lot of work because you're

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: cutting down your roster, you're getting your working, you're inside

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the entire time. But for those of us normal people,

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: we just get to swim around and hang out, play

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: some golf. So that's the plan. We will have a

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: golf podcast tomorrow which we'll look forward to Memorial Jack

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: Nicholas's tournament and we will do some gambling thoughts there

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: and the Michael Block come down story, and then probably

38
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: another podcast later in the week. So we'll keep rocking

39
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: and rolling. So let's dive in. Do you want to

55
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: And let's start with a story that made the rounds

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: this weekend, and it really goes back to when the

57
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Raiders officially signed Jimmy Garoppolo. Because typically when you sign

58
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: a free agent, there's a scheduled press conference right one o'clock,

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo will meet the media, come doctor, And of

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: course that press conference got pushed back, and then there

61
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: were ota praxes that eventually become open to the media,

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo was not present. And then there were

63
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: some comments by DeVante Adams, I'm a little my timeline

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: is a little messed up, and he made some things

65
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: like I'm not on board with what we're doing. And

66
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: then you start adding all the piece of the puzzles

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: up to the puzzle up and trying to put it

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: all together. What all makes sense once the story breaks

69
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Garoppolo's lead contract that he failed the physical

70
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: when he was signing with the Oakland or the Las

71
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders and they had to put clauses in there.

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: He had to get a second surgery, which even goes

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: back to his San Francisco days when Kyle Shanahan the

74
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers thought there was a chance that he

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: could have returned for either the NFC Championship Game or

76
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which clearly he could not have because

77
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: his foot was all messed up and maybe he didn't

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: know it. Clearly something happened in the MRI. It wasn't

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: good to go. And my big issue is not with

80
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo failing a physical. This is two years in

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: a row. Jimmy Garoppolo could not pass a physical at

82
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: the time of free agency, so that is nothing new,

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: nothing new with this player. He is a quarterback who

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: is often injured. According to my memory bank, he was

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: traded to the forty nine ers. He was never a

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: full time starter, obviously behind Tom Brady, but he got

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: hurt in those four games when Tom Brady was suspended

88
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: for the flightgate. Remember the second game he hurt his shoulder.

89
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: Then he gets traded to the forty nine Ers. His

90
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: second season, which was his first year as a full

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: time starter, he tore his acl Then the Super Bowl

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: year fully healthy, and then for when they're on out,

93
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: always injured. Twenty twenty, missed a bunch of games, which

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: led them to drafting Trey Lance. The Trey Lance's rookie year,

95
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: he got injured shoulder, thumb, obviously last year foot. So

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: this guy is a long, long history of durability. And

97
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: here's my thing with the Raiders is they got rid

98
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: of Derek Carr. Okay, I get it right. They were

99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: not a philosophical match, right, They just didn't work scheme wise.

100
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's him didn't see eyed eye, Derek had one

101
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: of the worst years of his career. Whatever, but you

102
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: need a quarterback and clearly they didn't Draft one, they

103
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: don't have other quarterbacks. What's his name? Stindham signed with

104
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, who showed a little signs of life

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: last year and is one of his two starts against

106
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. So they go all in on

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, which he's not a type guy that you

108
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: can go all in on. He just because he's always

109
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: hurt and then when he heals, he gets hurt again.

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest question mark here is all

111
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: the chips are in the middle of the table for

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: a franchise that is just desperate, let's face it. I

113
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: mean they just never win. Ever, they got two winning

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: seasons in over two decades in a league full of

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: parody where even the crappiest teams figure out a way

116
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: for some successful seasons. And their coach now, I think,

117
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: listen a lot of success as an offensive coordinator. A

118
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: lot of people have a lot of success with Tom Brady.

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: He's gotten two opportunities outside the Belichick umbrella and it

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: hasn't been pretty. Last year was an embarrassment, and now

121
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: he is tied at the hip clearly with Jimmy Garoppolo.

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: Which listen, if Jimmy Garoppolo can play seventeen games. I

123
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: think the Raiders could be competitive. You know, they could

124
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: try to go above five hundred nine to eight. Right,

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: they lack the talent. They're clearly not as good with

126
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, but he's proven to be better

127
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: than half the league at quarterback. If he's your starting quarterback,

128
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: he sees eyed eye with your offensive coordinator, you can function.

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: The problem is he's going to get hurt, like it

130
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: is inevitable. History shows us that to think that Jimmy

131
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is going to avoid injury would be malpract this

132
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: from Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler. But they don't have

133
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: a choice now, like they don't have other options. So

134
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: when I see Florio tweeting about they got out they

135
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: don't have to pay him, well, all that is great,

136
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: and you know, Okay, Jimmy Garoppolo can't eventually pass the

137
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: physical he never gets on the field, they are fucked.

138
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Brian Hoyer is currently their backup quarterback. If

139
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Brian if Jimmy Garoppolo were to disappear and the Raiders

140
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: had to operate with Brian Hoyer, I think they'd win

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: four games, Max. So when I look back at these

142
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: quotes from Devonte Adams, listen, I don't necessarily agree. I

143
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: mean you can't agree from a football standpoint. Leading the

144
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: leaving the Green Bay Packers said over and over, I

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: understand needing a change of scenery. Hell I did it

146
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: last year, best thing I ever did. So I get

147
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: where he wanted to move back to the West Coast

148
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: play for, you know, his childhood team. I understand it

149
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: now from a football standpoint, like you leave the Green

150
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Bay Packers to go to the Raiders, you're gonna downgrade,

151
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: and he immediately did. But I think when you dive

152
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: into his comments in that Ringer article, was it kind

153
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: of directed at the Jimmy Garoppolo situation. Like listen, he said,

154
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: over and over, I didn't come for Derek Carr. But

155
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: I didn't come like what's our planet, quarterback? It's not

156
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: a guy whose foots all messed up, who needed a

157
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: second surgery and who's not gonna be able to practice

158
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: his offseason and more than likely history which ow is

159
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: gonna get injured again. What are we going to do?

160
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: And the answer is you would be screwed. And it's like, well,

161
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: they just, you know, going for Caleb Williams. Does Josh

162
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: McDaniels have the rope to go for Caleb Williams, Like,

163
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: let's just say it's a disaster and he wins five

164
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: six games. Are we sure that Josh McDaniels in a

165
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: market like, let's face it, the Las Vegas Knights come

166
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, created an NHL team, boom, kick ass hell,

167
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Mark Davis hoes WNBA team won the championship last year.

168
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: I just saw someone tweeted it out over the weekend.

169
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: They're sitting in early records in the WNBA through four games.

170
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: Sure a lot of you have watched some of those games,

171
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: and like the problem is in Vegas have a bright

172
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: light city. You can't be really shitty and expect anyone

173
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: to care about you. And Mark knows this, And I

174
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: just think that if this season goes wrong, and clearly

175
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: they're tied to a guy who's often injured, it could

176
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: be a disaster for Josh McDaniels. So I'm a little surprised.

177
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Like I understood why they were interested in him, but

178
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: the moment you saw that you pivot not draft a

179
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: quarterback high. I mean, it feels like they're all in

180
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean, and their boats already got

181
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: some water on it and more. I would bet on

182
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: it sinking. I just would because history would show I

183
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: can't bet on Jimmy Garoppolo staying healthy. So I think

184
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: it's insane that they've gone down this road regardless of like, oh,

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the contract gives them out, well, great, cut them. What

186
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: the hell are you going to do? And the answer

187
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: is it would not be pretty. The other story is

188
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: that DeAndre Hopkins was released by the Arizona Cardinals, and

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: I think on the most basic level, the reason he

190
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: was released is they could not trade his contract. Clearly right,

191
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: no one was taking on basically twenty million dollars for

192
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Now, a lot of people have slid into

193
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: my DMS and asked me like why would they cut up,

194
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: Like what is the point? And the simple answer is

195
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: they don't want him on the team. They don't want

196
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: him around. He clearly hasn't been around like an OTA's

197
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: but they want to rid themselves of him as a player.

198
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: They don't they value more eating the money to send

199
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: him away than keeping him around their new fresh culture,

200
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: and they're rebuild that They're starting and I think big picture,

201
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: they are trying to bottom out, and that's a whole

202
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: nother question. If they are the worst team in the league,

203
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: which I think it's always easy to say at the

204
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, and I did that last year,

205
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of people did. I'm like, as Seattle's

206
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: going to be the worst team all the Giants they

207
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: both made the playoffs, So I'm not as confident doing that.

208
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little rattled by last season. But I think

209
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and rightfully so, and meet myself included,

210
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: feel pretty confident. This team's gonna stink. I mean, obviously,

211
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks injured, they got a lot of things go

212
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: Their talent on their team is not really there. But like,

213
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: they cut this guy and now he's a free agent,

214
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: so you don't have to take that contract. That is

215
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: not your problem. You can sign him to whatever contract

216
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: he wants. Now. One of his sticking points, which is

217
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: actually very understandable, is him going well if Odell Beckham

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: got fifteen million dollars, look at my stats the last

219
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: three or four years, compared to that guy who gets

220
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: injured all the time. Now, Hopkins got some red flax

221
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: suspended last year some pdssues has been banged up, not

222
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: a big practice player, is pretty productive when he's on

223
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: the field. Never been fast, so it's like, well, speed's diminishing.

224
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: He's kind of got his game's different, but kind of

225
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: that an Kwon Bolden thing, like his game's not predicated

226
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: on speed, Like his game's aging well, because that's just

227
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: how he's always played. He's always been slow. He's a

228
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: contested catch, you know, jump ball, productive guy in the

229
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: red zone. He's just a football player. I mean he's

230
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: when he's playing well, he is a very very good

231
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: football player. I think at times, I guess he had

232
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: some seasons where he was I wouldn't go elite, but

233
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, to a top five wide receiver. He's no

234
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: longer that guy. No one was going to pay him.

235
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: I think his problem is going to be because I

236
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: get where he's going, like, I'm not taking less than

237
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: fifteen million. Who's giving you fifteen million dollars? Won? The

238
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: money's not really out there because the teams he'd want

239
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: to go to, the Chiefs, the Bills, all the good teams,

240
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: they're not really flushed with cap space, so that's not happening.

241
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: So would he be willing to do one of those

242
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: purely non guaranteed deals. Remember Durell Reeves did that. Now,

243
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't give you any security. Things go wrong at

244
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: the end of the season, they can cut you. But

245
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: I think if he wants to go to one of

246
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: the teams that he's desiring to go to, he's going

247
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: to have to kind of think outside the box. If

248
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: he just wants to go to a team, you know,

249
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: bad teams are not going to sign him. It doesn't

250
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: make any sense. And if you're him, like he's not

251
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: going to be interested in those teams. Obviously everyone's talking

252
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: about the Bills and the Chiefs. Like, if I am him,

253
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: he has made an astronomical amount of money. And I'm

254
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: not one to tell you to take pay cuts or

255
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't care how much money you make,

256
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: whether you make a hundred million dollars or ten dollars,

257
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: it's irrelevant to me. But from a football standpoint, if

258
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: you want to have success and money's never going to

259
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: be an issue in your life, given how much you've made,

260
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, these last five six years playing in the league, Like,

261
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy to take a little less

262
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: or an incentive base deal to go play with Josh Allen,

263
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: to go play with Patrick Mahomes, and specifically if Andy

264
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are interested, like, that's probably where i'd go,

265
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: bro Like, I mean, that's that would be the team

266
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: I'd be sniffing around because even with the Bills, you go, well,

267
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I get Diggs has kind of been up in arms,

268
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: but they've got Stephan Diggs, who's been one of the

269
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: best players in the league for at his position for

270
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: a while. Now. They just drafted a tight end really high.

271
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: They still got Dawson Knox. You know, with the Chiefs,

272
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Juju Smith's not on the team anymore. Obviously, Tyreek's long gone.

273
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: Beside the tight ends and the running back like, you

274
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: get a lot of juice and the guy will clearly

275
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: throw you the ball. So to me, that's what I

276
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: would do. Obviously, financially, you're not gonna get what you want,

277
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: and I get being mad like, well, I'm better Odell Beckham.

278
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Well true, you know that's that's true, But that's not

279
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: always the way the world works. You know, Jalen Hurts

280
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson. I would rather have those guys than

281
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Well, those guys got way less than DeShawn

282
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Watson in terms of guaranteed. You know, it's sometimes the

283
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: way it works. Just because someone does a terrible contract

284
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: or a terrible business deal does not mean the next

285
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: person is going to get that amount. And that's probably

286
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: the case here. And if he just wants to take

287
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: the most money, which will be interested, Like, I don't

288
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: totally blame. That's kind of the way football players think

289
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: because their career is relatively shorter. But to me, if

290
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm him the chiefs, I'm actively working with Veitch and Andy, like,

291
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: how do we make this happen? Before we dive into

292
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: what's next? Do you know that Angie's list is now

293

295
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: you walk in, you go, well, I need to fix

Speaker 1: the kitchen, I need to want to improve this bathroom.

297
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: I want to fix some stuff in the backyard. And

298
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: then you go, well, I don't do this for a living.

299

312
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: the mailbank at John Middlecoff. Just my name two f's

313
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: DM's Instagram really easy to get involved. Hey John, longtime

314
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: listener is from Robert. Back in twenty one, you answered

315
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: my question regarding the Titans regressing after Arthur Smith moved

316
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: on and we hired Todd Downing. You said that Downing

317
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: was bad for the Raiders and was most likely going

318
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: to be bad for the Titans. I don't remember saying that.

319
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: Why is it that you could see this but a

320
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: staff full of people who could not see this coming?

321
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: I guess my question is why do teams consistently hire

322
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: failing coaches when the fan can tell it won't work. Thanks.

323
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: I was on the golf course yesterday with a buddy

324
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: of mine who works in the golfing business, and you know,

325
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: it was part of a pretty big operation that a

326
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: big company that's involved with, you know, sponsoring golfers. I mean,

327
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: they sponsor all athletes, but we are just he focuses

328
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: on golf. And we were talking about, like, you know,

329
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: how they do deals with players and agents and it's

330
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: just there's a certain agency that they like to work with.

331
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, people like doing business

332
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: with people they like. You know, think about most of

333
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: our own businesses. Who do you end up doing business with?

334
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: Now?

335
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: Obviously you have to it has to make sense, but

336
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: you lean, if you think things are going to work

337
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: out with people you're comfortable with, people you know, people

338
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: you like doing business with. And I think in football coaching,

339
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: and this is probably true, it's scouting too, is people

340
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: are hired because I like you, or we have the

341
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: same agent and we know each other. As stupid as

342
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: that sounds, it happens a lot. And I think Todd

343
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: Downing now can assistantly gets these jobs people like him.

344
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean I know people that have worked with them

345
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: really really liked the guy. Derek Carr loved him, right,

346
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: I think Mike Rabel liked him a lot. But like,

347
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: and that's the thing in football, you know, in some businesses, right,

348
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: you can get away with you know he's not as good,

349
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: but it doesn't necessarily matter, right, Like you know, your

350
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: boy might have just closed on a house here in AZ.

351
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: I got a little remodel coming up, Like, I want

352
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: to like the guy who's doing the romodel, but you know,

353
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: some of these quotes, I'm getting shit. If I'm gonna

354
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: spend this amount of money, you better be good. Like,

355
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this, so I'm very dependent

356
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: on you being good. Ultimately, I don't give a shit.

357
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: If we're friends, I want you to do good job. Right,

358
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: And if I'm a head coach and I'm hiring a coordinator,

359
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: especially hiring a coordinator at a at a side of

360
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the ball that I don't focus on, like, I'm pretty

361
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: dependent on you. So whether we're buddies and whether we

362
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: like having cocktails and shooting the shit watching some games

363
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: on TV shouldn't really matter that much. But the sad

364
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: reality is, in this business and in every business, it

365
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: does matter a lot, and like why was Matt Patricia

366
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: hired for Bill Belichick? Bill liked him. Bill liked him

367
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: a lot, And it has devastating consequences when that's strictly

368
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: what you do right now. Sometimes it works, like why

369
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: was Demiko Ryans and Robert Sala Shanahan's last two defensive

370
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: coordinators first and foremost because he knew him. He had

371
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: worked with Robert Solo with the Texans. Sala was best

372
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: friends with Matt Lafleur and like I think, was best

373
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: man in his wedding, So they had these connections. They

374
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: knew each other. And obviously Demiko he had coached him

375
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: and been around him, so he was like, on the

376
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: most basic level, he was comfortable with the person. Now

377
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: I would sure Kyle would tell you and listen, I

378
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: will tell you this about Demico. Dimiko has been good

379
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: at everything he'd ever had been. But like Robert Solo,

380
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: the history had said, like, this is a pretty risky hire.

381
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: Now it worked out, But like look at the guys mcveighires,

382
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of it works. But I don't know, man,

383
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: it's just the way the business works. Tardy Apps, that's

384
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: the name of this Instagram account, longtime listener, longtime Seahawks fan.

385
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I was one of the guys calling

386
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: for Pete and John's collective heads the last five years.

387
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: I thought Pete was done overrated, tone deaf, tuned out

388
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: whatever a Russ ruiner, et cetera. But looking at Belichick

389
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: struggled massively without Brady and the way Pete struggled with Russ,

390
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: by which I mean only go to the playoffs almost

391
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: every single year, it feels like Pete is almost as

392
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: good of a coach as Belichick. Sure, the rings the

393
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: rings are differential in all, but then again, if Russ

394
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: hadn't stunted Pete, who knows how many more US Seahawks

395
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: fans could have won? I know you Seahawks fans could

396
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: have won a lot more. If Pete makes it the

397
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game this year with Gino or minimum annihilates

398
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the shah Mahan debacled down under where are the rings?

399
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Mister harbought two point zero? I think it's time. I

400
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: think was that a shot at me? Was that the

401
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: time we all bowed to acknowledge how good of a

402
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: coach Pete is? Sorry for the ramp do you think

403
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: the Seahawks will be way better this year? Let's say this.

404
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I never crushed Pete for the Russ

405
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: stuff because I thought, let Russ cook. You know, It's

406
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: like Pete s Now has two decades worth of the

407
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: dude's a winner. The dude won without Russ, and the

408
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: dude's winning again without Russ. So Pete's history is success

409
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: with or without Russell Wilson. Now, I do think it

410
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: was fair to think they were gonna suck last year

411
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: because they were banking on Gino Smith Andrew Locke. Now

412
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: it turns out Geno Smith had a career year, and

413
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: to me, their team on paper is better around Geno Smith.

414
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: I think the question is the hardest thing at the

415
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: highest level of sports. You could argue any business. It's like,

416
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: anyone can have a good year, anyone can make money

417
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: for two quarters. Anyone hel Michael Block finished top fifteen

418
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: at a major and then he shot eighty one the

419
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: next round, Like, can you do it over and over again?

420
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: I know Pete? Can I know dk Metcalf? Can I

421
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: know Tyler Lockett will be good?

422
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 2: Right?

423
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: I expect their defense to continue to improve. Can Geno

424
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: Smith have another season where he throws thirty touchdowns. I'm

425
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: rooting for him. Every time you hear him talk. He's

426
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: fucking impressive. Every time that you hear the team talk

427
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: about him. Sherman had him on his podcast here in

428
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: the volume. I'm a Geno Smith fan. I didn't know

429
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: that much about the guy. Easy to root for, but

430
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: there's one thing easy to root for a guy like,

431
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: is he gonna sustain this career? Is he just gonna

432
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: have a second career renaissance? Maybe? I don't know. I mean,

433
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know if you said, hey, you got

434
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to put let's just pick a number five thousand dollars,

435
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: would you put five thousand dollars on Geno replicating last

436
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: season or bet against it? You would say history would

437
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: say that a guy you just look at the history

438
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: of Gino's career, you would probably bet against that. I

439
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't fel great though, if you told me, I think

440
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: they'll be if Gino's good again, Yeah, they'll win ten games.

441
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: Their running game is gonna be really good. We know

442
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: they got explosive offensive players. I think anyone hating on

443
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: Pete though, listen, there's one thing like on an individual

444
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: game to be like Pete could have been better. If

445
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: that's fair, Belichick's a better coach. Pete, though more versatile coach.

446
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Could Belichick have ever gone to college and do what

447
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Pete did? No, Pete Carroll is everything urban Meyer wanted

448
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: to be. Dominate college and then go to the pros.

449
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer was like, get out of here, buddy, you

450
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: don't belong in the big leagues. So yeah, I think

451
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has like one of the mos unique career,

452
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: Like he's a Jimmy Johnson level career, right, I mean

453
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: one in college, one in the pros. Dominated in both.

454
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean he had for one of the a four

455
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: year stretch, one of the greatest defenses we've ever seen.

456
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you on Pete. My only question

457
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: for your squad is Geno. I saw him play the

458
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: Niners and I was like, you know, he plays some

459
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: good defense. Didn't quite as a season went on, You're like, huh,

460
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: rooting for the guy. I'm not. I'm pro Geno Smith.

461
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: How I like Geno Smith? If you said, hey, would

462
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: you rather hang out with Gino Smith or Russell Wilson

463
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: one million percent? Geno Smith? What do you think about

464
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: the NFL adapting a contract that only applies to players.

465
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: The organizational organization drafts like the Bird rule in the NBA,

466
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: drafting and developed talent should be rewarded. Side note, I

467
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: really enjoy anytime you talk of any type economics in business.

468
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. I listen. It comes up a lot. I

469
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: was listening to Bill Simmons podcast. He thought that it

470
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: should be people have been talking about it forever in

471
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: the end, like you should get rewarded for like Steph

472
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Curry his fifty million dollars should not count against a

473
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: salary cap when he's been on your team fifteen years,

474
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: or Yiannis or whoever. And we say this all the

475
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: time in football, like you should get rewarded for drafting. Well,

476
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: we're in football. You can't keep everybody right. You got

477
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: to let guys go. But that's never changed, and it's

478
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: something the media harps on forever. It's a lot of

479
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: ideas that people have talked about. Obviously you're bringing it up.

480
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's one of those things that

481
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: never feels even remotely close in NFL circles. For whatever reason,

482
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but it never feels like it

483
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: has any traction. We never go to the these NFL

484
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: owners meetings at one of the local four seasons in

485
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: some sweet city and be like, you know what they're

486
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: talking about this year? How if you have a guy

487
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: on your team more than eight years, his salary cap

488
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: hit should be half as much as a salary or whatever.

489
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: It never comes up. So yeah, I mean I'd be

490
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: all for it. I think it should be rewarded, but

491
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: it never is, Like you should be rewarded for drafting. Well,

492
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: But I also, like one thing I've always said, a

493
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: GM's job is about more than drafting, Like, Okay, you

494
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: miss on a draftic, who cares? Can you sign a

495
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: good free agent? Can you find a good undrafted free agent?

496
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Can you find a good guy on some other teams

497
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: practice squad? Like building a team is not just about

498
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: quote unquote drafting. Obviously, it's the lifeblood of the business,

499
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: Like college football is life blood of your business. Recruiting

500
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: kind of now with the transfer portal, like I can

501
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: find sweet dudes in the transfer portal. I didn't know

502
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: until the draft that the dude the Lions drafted Gibbs,

503
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: like the dude was on Alabama was ah he started

504
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: Alabama they sign, they transferportal them from Georgia Tech. Talk

505
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: about a great move by that guy, Like see at

506
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: george Tech. I'm going to Alabama. Well, how's this gonna

507
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: work out? Do you even get any playing time?

508
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

509
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: Not only am I gonna kick ass for them? I'm

510
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted in the top fifteen. So I hear you.

511
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: It just it doesn't feel like it ever gets remotely

512
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: clear happening. Greetings from Berlin, Germany. I'm a Bengals fan

513
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: as when wondering why playoff teams like the Bengals are

514
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: Eagles still have thirteen to fourteen million left in cap

515
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: space per overthcap dot com. If you are a Super

516
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: Bowl contender, shouldn't you spend all the available cap space

517
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: in order to get the best team possible on the field.

518
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: I suppose there are still capable veterans available at every

519
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: position group, Especially the Bengals still have some depth issues

520
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: on their defensive line and are not spending the money

521
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: on a veteran. When you look at the chart over

522
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: the cap dot Com, the Bengals and Eagles are the

523
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: only playoff teams with so much cap space. Why are

524
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: teams in general not spending cap space. Well, I think

525
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. Excuse the Bengals, for example, they could

526
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: extend two guys this offseason, Joe Burrow and t Higgins,

527
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: and immediately use up that cap space. They have internal

528
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: candidates to extend to utilize that cap space. And in general,

529
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: should you just use the cap space to use the

530
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: cap space? Right? Like, just because you have you don't

531
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: need to buy anything. You don't need to buy a home,

532
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: You don't need anything. Let's just say you got fifty

533
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in a savings account. Like what if that

534
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: savings account is for a quote unquote rainy day, or

535
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: what if it's for like you easily could go like

536
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: buy a Rolex, buy a new car, Like you could

537
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: easily do things. But do you need a new car?

538
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: Do you need a watch? You would you even wear

539
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: a watch? Like, Yeah, I could go sign some I'd

540
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: go sign DeAndre Hopkins, but like, is that more important

541
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: than signing the guy? Here's the other thing, like the

542
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: savings analogy, but what if something crazy happens? What if

543
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: a good deal comes available? Like, you can always make trades.

544
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes making trades, guys have bigger salaries. Remember a couple

545
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: of years ago, the Rams had to give up a

546
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: second and third round pick to get von Miller because

547
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: they didn't have any salary cap space. So the Broncos

548
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: had to eat the cap space. They might not have

549
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: had to give that up if they would have had obviously,

550
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, they couldn't have foreseen that happening, but if

551
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: they would have had more cap space. So there's a

552
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: give and take with everything having cap space. To me,

553
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: if there are specific players, like if you could have

554
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: signed player X one improves your team, but most free

555
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: agents suck. Look at this free agent class beside like

556
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave, who was good in the free agent class

557
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: that got quote unquote a lot of money mcglinchy. Can

558
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: you imagine giving a glinchy fifty million dollars? So just

559
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: because the guy's a free agent and you never know,

560
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: like guys get cut at any moment, Guys are available

561
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: trades at any moment. Having having flexibility is always smart,

562
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: right And this back to the savings analogy. If you

563
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: just have endlessen not everyone can save. I'm not saying

564
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: you should have money saved at all times, but when

565
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: you just have nothing in your savings account, you have

566
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: no flexibility. The moment you get screwed, you get laid off,

567
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a job, you're not making any money,

568
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: like you are in dire straits immediately. But when you

569
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: got a little nest egg, like yeah, something bad happens,

570
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: there's a medical emergency, you know, you got a little

571
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: wiggle room. And that to me, a salary cap space.

572
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: It just kind of gives you wiggle room. So like,

573
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: if you can give me one specific example, like this

574
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: player they should have signed, and sometimes that happens, and

575
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: then that said player in free agency or that was

576
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: available turns out not to be good. So I'm never

577
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: opposed to having some salary cap space for good teams

578
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: because it does give them a lot of flexibility. Even

579
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: with as much content as you put out, I am

580
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: still always looking for podcasts with more football content. What

581
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: are some podcasts you listen to recommend? I would say

582
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: the podcast football podcast I listened to. I would say

583
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: the only pure football podcast I listened to would be

584
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: I listened to Michael Lombardi podcasts. He can be a

585
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: little angry listen. I like him, I know he knows

586
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: his shit. Can be a little angry for me at times,

587
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: not that I'm against negativity and you know, like you know,

588
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I listened to him today on the Jimmy Garoppolo thing.

589
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, let's just call a spade a spape

590
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: that they sign an injured player. I know you're boys

591
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: with Josh McDaniels, but the risk is not the the

592
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: addendum in the contract, it's why are you signing this

593
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: player in the first place. Uh. But yeah, I don't

594
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: honestly listen to that much football content. Now. The one

595
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: thing I've started to do, I listened to Chris Long

596
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: whenever he has on like he had on Jason Kelsey,

597
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: that that was good when the Kelsey brothers have on

598
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: a good guess. So I will listen to players podcasts

599
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: when they have guests because I think their relationship with

600
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: those guys are something you're not getting anywhere else. Right,

601
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: they know him, they're friends, they played with him. I

602
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: think it's pretty cool. So I will listen to those interviews.

603
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: But honestly, I don't. I don't listen to that much

604
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: football content, to be honest with, Especially in the offseason.

605
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: I tried to listen to more finance podcasts. I listened

606
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: to NBA podcasts. Yeah, I listened to a lot of

607
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: golf content. I listened to a lot of golf podcasts. Hey, John,

608
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks fan here, Why do you think Seattle decided to

609
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: invest their fifth overall pick at cornerback when they knew

610
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: they needed to impact players on the defensive line. The

611
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: pass rush was definitely one of the glaring issues last season.

612
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, because I think Seattle, over their decade of

613
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: success with the Russ era, had been burned a couple

614
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: times by character guys and they've and Pete Carroll's always

615
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: been pretty open minded to that. But one thing I

616
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: think they learned last year removing Russ, who I don't

617
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: want to call it cancer, but was clearly an issue

618
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: for them, and not in like a legal way, but

619
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: just in the egomaniac way that it was like, you know,

620
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: we had a team that was just full of guys

621
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: that was just doing whatever it took to win and

622
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: just good guys. And they could have taken Jalen Carter,

623
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: and I think the difference is, and I don't know,

624
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: maybe you've listened to I haven't listened to every press

625
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: conference they've given. Like Witherspoon was the type guy that

626
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: was like this guy is just not gonna miss this guy, character, physicality, play,

627
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: just kind of had like a Cam Chancellor Richard Sherman

628
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: vibe to him as a person player just bat right.

629
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: It was just gonna work where Jalen was a huge

630
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a hail Mary, but could

631
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: blow up in your face. And I think what they

632
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: just experienced, They're like, we don't want to risk what

633
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: we have where the Eagles go. We have so much

634
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: of that at the highest level that we could take it.

635
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: So I supported them doing it. I think they saw

636
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, the lob type mentality, mindset,

637
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: character type, you know, a profile in him, and I

638
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: can't I completely understand it. I think it's always easy.

639
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: And Jim Washburn, who is one of the best defensive

640
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: coaches of all time and now his protege, Chris Caserk

641
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: is the forty nine ers guy you know, used to

642
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: always say this and listen, Jim had no problem coaching

643
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: some crazies. But he's like, it's so easy for the

644
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: scouts to be like, listen, the guy's got some issues,

645
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, stude can rush the edge like

646
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: double teams. Good luck. No one's gonna stop him. He's like, ah,

647
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: that's great, but I got to deal with this guy

648
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: Monday through Saturday when you guys are in your office,

649
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: listen to sports talk radio, watching players bs and with

650
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: your buddies on the road. Right, I got to coach

651
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: this guy. I have to deal with him. You don't.

652
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's easy for the scouts always to say

653
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: take this chance.

654
00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: Right.

655
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: See, that's you know, saying, man, you should stay with her, right.

656
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: I think we always have when people get divorces or

657
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: people get married or whatever. Everyone on the outside always

658
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: has these opinions on relationships like are you the one

659
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: spending the night with her every night? Are you the

660
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: one living with her or him?

661
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: Right?

662
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: Is that the way because like that person usually knows better.

663
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: It's why whenever someone's like should I get a breakup

664
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, it's like, only you know, it's I can't

665
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: tell you. I ain't laying down at night for the

666
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: last three years like you are, right. That's why coaches

667
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: sometimes now they can be negative and positive in ways

668
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: that like can be a little over the top just

669
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: in general, but that is a fair thing. Like the

670
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: position coach to deal with them in Pete's obviously very

671
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: hands on with the defense. Yeah, we'll end on that one.

672
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Have a good have a good week, but I'll talk

673
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow and talk soon.

674
00:35:53,160 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: See it the volume
