1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: The volume. Welcome to Prime Cuts, the best of the 2 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Colin Coward Podcast. Great Week. Dana White was on the show, 3 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: talked about Jake Paul, his take on the state of boxing, 4 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: his contentious relationship with the media, and the next big 5 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: star in the UFC. Mark Sanchez comes on, gives advice 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: to Zach Wilson on what it takes to be in 7 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: New York Jets quarterbacks. Some great stories, Mike Silver NFL 8 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: Insider latest on the draft, dude is totally well connected, 9 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: and Chad Millman betting insights the easiest over and under 10 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: bets in the NFL this year. But first, my top 11 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: takes of the week. Everybody wants to create a stir. 12 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be bull old, daring trailblazing. But being 13 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: a trailblazer isn't just blazing the trail. It's actually having 14 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: the balls to set the fire, let it burn, and 15 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: then walk down the trail you just blazed. The other day, 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: the heads of all the big European soccer teams blazed 17 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: a pretty impressive trail. Then that blaze became a bonfire, 18 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: and twenty four hours later they pulled the fire alarm, 19 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: broke the glass and ran for the nearest fire escape 20 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: in case you need to catch up on this story. 21 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: The other day, like literally the other day, all the 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: top European soccer clubs like Arsenal, Real, Madrid, Chelsea basically 23 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: told the top soccer leagues to go you way for 24 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: themselves because they were going off to start their own 25 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: super league. Then came the obvious blowback, tons of protests 26 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: from angry European soccer fans. Well i'll just say soccer fans, 27 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: since soccer fans in Europe are usually angry anyway, the 28 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: fans protested and suddenly the teams got scared. The chairman 29 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: of man You resigned, the president of Juventus resigned, and 30 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: now the super League is neither super or a league. Figures, 31 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: everybody wants to be bold, few have the cajones to 32 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: deal with the blowback. A few years ago, ESPN signed 33 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: the edgy bar Stool Sports and put them on the air. 34 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: One episode later, they pulled the stool right out from 35 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: under them. Recently, Spotify signed the edgy podcaster Joe Rogan, 36 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: then oh so quietly removed more than forty of his 37 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: episodes that were just two edgy. Those Vanilla executives love 38 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: blazing the trail right up until they get burned. That's 39 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: not being bold. In fact, it's the opposite. Listen, I've 40 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: had blowback. It's part of my career. But when I 41 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: go to a therapist, I don't talk about the audience 42 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: that hates me. It's mostly about my weird childhood. And frankly, 43 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: half of my audience hates me. Some days I hate 44 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: half my audience. I think it's beautiful. We can at 45 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: least share that common ground these days. If you can't 46 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: stand the heat, not only get out of the kitchen, 47 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: still eat your Twitter. So all those bold and daring, 48 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: trailblazing leaders of the European soccer world, I commend you 49 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: for that solid twenty seven hours of boldness. You showed. 50 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Well done. Next time, who knows, maybe it can last 51 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: a whole week. Saturday night, I watched Jake Paul beat 52 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: Ben Askron. Ben Askin was a like an MMA guy. 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: One punch fight, Jake Paul's like a YouTuber knocked him out, 54 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's really interesting. Two things 55 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: jump to me. First of all, it's hard to be 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: good at two things. It's impossible to be great at 57 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: two things. When MMA guys try to box, they look awful. 58 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: When boxers going to the octagon, they look awful. Michael 59 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: Jordan couldn't hit a baseball curve and Randy Moss couldn't hoop. 60 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: The reality is Dion Sanders is a once in a 61 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: lifetime athlete that could do both. But you know, it's 62 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: funny about boxing and UFE. And I've heard this, it's stick. 63 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: How can you watch Jake Paul, Let me ask you. 64 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: Was it interesting? Was it interesting? Yeah? It got one 65 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: point five million pay per views. I'm a fan of interesting. 66 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: When I was a kid growing up, there was an 67 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: industry in America that was fairly dynamic. It was Daredevil's 68 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: Evil Knevil. So I got a job in Las Vegas 69 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: and I watched a couple of Daredevils perform live. To 70 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: this day, it's the first or second most captivating stuff 71 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: I've ever seen live. Daredevils are fascinating. YouTube stars, boxing, MMA, 72 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: guys is interesting. Not everything has to be Game seven 73 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: of the World Series, and not everything has to be 74 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: Saturday Night sec football. I always look at I always 75 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: look at it this way. We have a million regular 76 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: season baseball games. Look at all the sports we have 77 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: in Erica today, maybe five percent of sports is championship 78 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: level stuff the rest of its regular season out of conference, 79 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: not urgent. I will take championship level, legitimate sports first. 80 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: But if you give me Jake Paul and Ben Askron 81 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: over the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Braves on a Tuesday, 82 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Jake Paul. All right. I've known Dana 83 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: White for a long time. Don't really need to introduce him, 84 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: but I've been saying the last week anybody in life 85 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: that does something first gets the most blowback. And I 86 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: thought the commissioner that did the best job in the 87 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: country was not Adam Silver Roger Goodell, it was Dana White. 88 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: Because it's really easy to follow somebody else who takes 89 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: the headwind, and it was easier for everybody else. And Dana, 90 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: who started this business with about two million bucks in 91 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, sold it for over four billion. 92 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: And you think bitcoin is making people money, Dana did 93 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: very well for himself. It is interesting, Dana, because listen, um, 94 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: you got corporations. I mean, you're not just a maverick 95 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: doing it yourself. You got your big beer sponsors, and 96 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: so when you went for it and Fight Island did. 97 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Was there any part of you that thought, shit, I'm 98 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: gonna get some corporate blowback here from some of my sponsors. Yeah, 99 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: first of all, thank you. At second of all, yes, 100 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: we definitely thought we would. But our sponsors were pretty cool. 101 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: Actually they let me, let me put it to you 102 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: this way. So when we went, our sponsors stood by us, 103 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: and it stuck with us, and we're very cool. Then 104 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: sponsorship went through the roof. Once we pulled it off safely, 105 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: we killed it. We killed it in twenty twenty was 106 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: sponsorship and it led over into twenty twenty one and 107 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: we have the all time record for the company for 108 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: global sponsorship. So I took my wife's not a sports fan, 109 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: but I took her to Mayweather and McGregor and it 110 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: was the most fun. It was better than any concert 111 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: we've gone to. And it's interesting, Dana this and I'm 112 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: and listen, I'm I'm kind of a traditionalist. But I 113 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: grew up with their devils. I grew up, you know, 114 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: I grew up with that shit evil Knevil. And I 115 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: remember when Ali fought a Japanese wrestler and I watched 116 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: Jake Paul this weekend and I know it's sticky, but 117 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm sitting to myself thinking, if it's interesting, you have 118 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: to have these conversations McGregor and Mayweather was fascinating And 119 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, you know, we can all make 120 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: fun of Jake Paul, but shit, he's three and oh 121 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: he's totally into it. I mean, he's not going to 122 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: be a heavyweight champ, but there's something there. I mean, 123 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: how do you view a celebrity boxer who is authentic 124 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: and is into it and he cares. How do you 125 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: view it? Let me tell you what boxing has just 126 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: continues to decline like this and this, this whole Jake 127 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Paul thing is the right guy at the right time. 128 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: And you know, this kid's doing what he needs to 129 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: do and he's gonna get paid. He's getting paid. Um, 130 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, he keeps, you know, doing what he's doing. 131 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: He's got these these kids, you know believing, you know, 132 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: they're believing that this guy is the guy. And part 133 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: of being a showman and and making money and doing 134 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: these things and being an entertainer is all part of 135 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: what this kid is doing. And he's doing it. Dana. 136 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: The great thing about being an international sport is the 137 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: quality of your sport is just deep. There's just more 138 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: good fighters now, there is that balance. Part of the 139 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: NFL's success is it's a strictly domestic product. Hockey's international. 140 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Basketball is increasingly international. You currently have a lot of 141 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: international champions, not as many domestic. This is a two 142 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: part question. Number one, why do certain cultures Russia, why 143 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: do they produce so many good fighters? And are you 144 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: ever concerned that you don't have enough you know, domestic champs. Yeah, 145 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: it's it's it's funny because as the sport was growing, 146 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: there were obviously a lot of American champions, a lot 147 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: of Brazilian champions, and as it's grown internationally, you know, 148 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: it's part of what's what's helped this thing grow. When 149 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: you get somebody, for instance, like Connor McGregor, when you 150 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: get a guy looks like you, talks like you, it 151 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: comes from where you come from, and he's seen as 152 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: the baddest motherfucker in the world. Everybody in that country 153 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: gets behind him, you know. So he really helped Europe explode. 154 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: We got three Africans right now, right it's exploding in Africa. 155 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: We're working on doing an event, we're probably gonna do 156 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: an event in twenty twenty two in Africa, which has 157 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: always been a dream of mine. So that's huge. And 158 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: one of the things about fighting that's fascinating is as 159 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: Americans like if an Italian, we got a kid named 160 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: a Tory who's Italian. If he wins and becomes a 161 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: world champion, like he's in the top five right now, 162 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: if he becomes a world champion, believe in Italy's gonna 163 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: blow up. Everybody in Italy will be talking about UFC 164 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: and watch the UFC. But in America, we don't care 165 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: as much where these guys are from. We just care 166 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: who's the best, and we just want to see the 167 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: best compete. The guy could be British, the guy could 168 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: be American, the guy could be Polish, Italian, Puerto Rican. 169 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: We don't care. We just want to see the best 170 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: fight the best. You've been combative with the media, but 171 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: I always wonder do you really need at this point, Dana, 172 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: Do you need the media? That's a great question. And 173 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm very combative with the media because they're full of shit, 174 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: and every time I read something, and you know, it 175 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: makes me crazy, So I don't read anything afore I 176 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: try to stay away from it. But yeah, I wouldn't 177 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: say that we don't need the media. I think that 178 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there that have, 179 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, a fan base on a following and have 180 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: their own opinions or perspectives on things that that people 181 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: want to want to see in here. So yeah, yeah, 182 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: I think we do need the media. I think the 183 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: problem is today, here's the problem with today determining who's 184 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: media and who's not. Anybody who can create a fucking 185 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: website now considers themselves media, you know what I mean? 186 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: Or if they have an Instagram, you know, now I 187 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: can become media. It's just most of these people are 188 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: full of shit and have no place writing or talking 189 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: about anything. But there are some real good media people 190 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: out there still. You know those hot takes you post 191 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: on social media, Well now you can win up to 192 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars when you put those takes to the 193 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: test on FanDuel.

See 210 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: FanDuel dot com for terms and conditions. Well, I've known 211 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez for a while. He was a number one 212 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: high school football quarterback in the country, and I'm a 213 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: recruiting dorc And then he went to USC and he 214 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: was all Pack twelve, and then he left early, went 215 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: to the Jets, and I was in Connecticut. Now he's 216 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: a really really talented broadcaster and a good all around dude. 217 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: There's five first round quarterbacks. I said, I think two 218 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: will succeed because that's the precedent, the historical precedent, I said, 219 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, and whoever lands with the forty nine ers, 220 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: I'm like, because you know how mean. It's like Lamar 221 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: Jackson works with hardball, but if you don't have it, 222 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't. Josh Allen's great because you have Brian 223 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: day ball and a good GM and so. And I 224 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: bring it out with you because I really do think 225 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: unless you're a once in a decade elway luck, it's 226 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: so much of it is where you land. We both 227 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: love Sam Darnold. They went big on free agency. They 228 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: didn't hit on any of them. I mean worse, and 229 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: I know you're complainant, but that was worse than what 230 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: I experienced. I was like, dang so, But like you said, 231 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: if you're that generational talent, okay, you're gonna outlast maybe 232 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: some coaching staffs until they land right until it hits. 233 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: But if you're not, and you can't potentially play well 234 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: enough to withstand those blows, then you get run out 235 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: of town. Look at Sam, I mean, you get run 236 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: out of town in three years and everybody's like, hey, Sam, 237 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: I guess nice to know you good luck. I mean 238 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: they don't even know what they had yet. It's interesting 239 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: because I do feel I do believe the Jets. Joe Douglas. 240 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: I know Joe. I thought he had a good first year. 241 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: I think he's really sharp. So I do think Zach 242 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: has a chance. I have no idea what Robert Sala 243 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: is a coach. I would have never guessed that Tom 244 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: Coflin out of Boston College would beat Belichick twice in 245 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I mean, hell, who knows, right, So 246 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I do feel, though, I will say this, 247 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know Matt Rule or Joe Brady. 248 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: I do feel like Darnald is getting like mentors, is 249 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: getting really hands on mentors. I do think Sam's gonna flourish. 250 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: I really do. In Carolina, I guess your thought. I 251 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: think we're going to figure out how good he can be, right, 252 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: I think he's finally going to have the resources there 253 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: and they're gonna build this thing around him to make 254 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: him successful. And now, whether he's a generational talent, we'll 255 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: find out, but at least it'll be a fair assessment 256 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: after a couple of years. But that's the thing I 257 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: sat down with Steve Young recently and we talked about 258 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: this for a while and really beat this thing to death. 259 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: But I mean, he's told me stories about Trent Dilfer 260 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: when he finally got to Seattle and it was like 261 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: the heavens opened up and he's finally in a west 262 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: coast system and the thing finally revolves around the quarterback 263 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: and you have this epiphany of like, wow, where was 264 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: this when I was doing all these other travels around 265 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: the country and not just banging my head against the wall. 266 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: It's hard for people on the outside to understand, but 267 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: I think Steve put it brilliantly. He said quarterbacks don't 268 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: need to be coddled, but they need to be focused. Like, 269 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: you gotta make decisions for the quarterback, and there's a 270 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: very fine line of making it really comfortable or making 271 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: it a situation where they can thrive and succeed, and 272 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: where you're challenging them but also giving them resources. It's 273 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: like parenting, right, like you set your kid up for 274 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: success when you can, like you know, he can jump 275 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: over this little hedge or jump up the curb, or 276 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: ride his bike down the hill or whatever, and you 277 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: kind of challenge them on it, knowing that you're there 278 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: to catch them if they fall and pick them back 279 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: up and dust them off, and hey, let's try it again. 280 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: That's essentially what this thing is and there's no perfect 281 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: way to do it. It just has to be quarterback focused. 282 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: You like Zach Wilson, And I used to quote you 283 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: use the other day. You said, you know, he plays 284 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: well in chaos, but mark people tend to lean into 285 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: what they're good at. Do you worry at all? Twenty 286 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: twenty one is not a gun slinger league. Yeah, it's not. 287 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: It's an efficiently league. Do you worry he's a little 288 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: too much of a gun sling that? That's my only 289 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: issue is that, I said, whatever coordinator he goes to 290 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: when that ball snap, you might not know where that 291 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: ball is going. And that makes some coordinators uneasy, right, 292 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: Or sometimes I think there's there's opportunities where he can 293 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: stay on platform, keep his good base and just step 294 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: into the throw and let it go and he'll, you know, 295 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: kind of jump into it or fade away a little 296 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: bit because he's gotten so used to doing that. If 297 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: you don't need it, don't use it. But if you 298 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: have that trick shot in your you know, club in 299 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: your bag, take it out when appropriate, and that's going 300 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: to be part of the learning curve for him, in 301 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: addition to the speed of the game and all that 302 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. You know, he's coming from the Mountain West. 303 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: He's going to have a lot to learn. He's going 304 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: to be in a very different media market. You're gonna 305 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: have to stack all those things, and there's gonna be 306 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: a learning curve for each of those categories, whether it's media, 307 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: the on the field stuff, the classroom stuff, whatever it is, 308 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: it's going to be a little different. So my only 309 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: fear with him was, you know, maybe two a little 310 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: two riverboat gambler when you don't have to be when 311 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: it's an easy, just routine groundered a second and you 312 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: just flip itto first base, flip itto first base. Don't 313 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: give me any around the back, you know, through the legs, 314 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: lem globetrotters. Just get the guy out, you know what 315 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying that that's the only criticism. And then you 316 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: know when you look at his film and it's you know, 317 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: it's unfair to these guys and I was in their shoes, 318 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: so I get it. But this whole you know, three 319 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: or four months of this draft process is all just like, Okay, 320 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: what's wrong with them? Find find the bruise on the 321 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: apple in the supermarket, like inspect it really well too, 322 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: you know. And and so you're just like, well, the 323 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen tape doesn't match up even close to the 324 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty tape, right, Like, he just he had the 325 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: shoulder surgery and he just looks like a completely different player. 326 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: So you're like, you know, player A, player B. What 327 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: is that? That's that's where some people are. But I 328 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: mean you've got to be comfortable with all that if 329 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: you're going to draft him. And I think he's one 330 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: of those kids that's already maximize his potential and will 331 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: do the same thing moving forward. The only other thing 332 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: with the Jets that specific situation they're they're drafting at 333 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, number three or two for a reason, right 334 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: they were not very good. They were not good. They 335 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: drafted me at number five because they traded up from 336 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen fifteen right in their middle of the pack. 337 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: NFL is not bad. You're a couple of players, a 338 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: couple of plays, a couple of games away from going 339 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, which I realized my first two years. 340 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: So he's going to be in that situation with a 341 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: lot of young guys. They have a ton of draft capital, 342 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: but they're all going to have to grow at the 343 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: same time. And that means you're gonna have to hit 344 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: on all these guys. It's got to look like the 345 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: Blue Angels, right, all five of those planes got to 346 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: be hitting in stride in some sense, right, And that's 347 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: hard to get all those guys to grow up at 348 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: the same time. It's like that Little league team that 349 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: you keep together from eight years old to high school. 350 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: By the time they're in high school, they're balling. They 351 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: don't even need to talk to each other, they don't 352 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: need to practice. They're ready to go. But is that 353 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: market a market in which they can let that thing marinate, 354 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: cook it up, relax, you know, manage expectations until it 355 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: finally you know it's time to pull that thing out 356 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: of the oven. I don't know that. That's one of 357 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,959 Speaker 1: the toughest things for me because those those expectations are 358 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: awfully high. So there was a guy years ago named 359 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: Jason Campbell. He played at Auburn, then he went to Washington. 360 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: He had seven coordinators in like eight years and I 361 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: thought he was already good. And I remember saying, can 362 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: you imagine if I had a different producer for seven 363 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: straight years in radio? You differently? You had a lot 364 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: of stability in New York, and then it was here 365 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: for your, here for your, here for you, here for 366 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: your so a lot of times. I don't think fans 367 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: understand that that if you had a different boss, a 368 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: different sales manager every year, who was the single best 369 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: because you had a lot of quick learning to do 370 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: after the Jets, the single smartest, best play caller or 371 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: coordinator you had that you look back and think, God, 372 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: I wish I could have worked with him from day one. Well, 373 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: I think, just based on time on task, was probably 374 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: Philly and coach Kelly. I know, I know there's Philadelphia 375 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: fans that would kill me for saying that, because they, 376 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, hated him by the end. They wanted to 377 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: run him out of town. I think some of the 378 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: management moves weren't, you know, him and Howry Roseman weren't 379 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: like perfectly on the same page, which tend to happen. 380 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: Tends to happen. But I think because the system was 381 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: so easy to pick up, that was like boom, I 382 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, as soon as I got in, I was gone, 383 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: like it was good. We're rolling. But when we get 384 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: rid of all those playmakers, you know, the DeShawn Jackson's 385 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: and Lashawn McCoy's, and try and bring in a back 386 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: that's more of a you know, an eye formation under 387 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: center stretch zone back into Marco Murray and try and 388 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: run gun runs with him. It's just not the same. 389 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: And then we had turnover with Nick Foles and Sam Bradford. 390 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,239 Speaker 1: So then I play, then don't play, and play then 391 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: don't play. That was one of the toughest things, is 392 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: like I know the system. I feel good. I could 393 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: run this tempo stuff better than anybody, in my opinion. 394 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: And when we're rolling, we're rolling. We just need a 395 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: little thicker playbook. And we wanted to keep all those players. 396 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I thought that would have been like 397 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: we were right there and early in this season. Tell 398 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: me why why why is chips You're the second quarterbacks? 399 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: Who's told me this? Mark? So give me some lexicon, 400 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: give me some verbiage. Why is chips system so easy? Um? Okay, 401 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: so you know trips right, you know? Um? What would 402 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: we say, like, uh sixty three scat z, snag, dagger 403 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: would just be like trio gator, like it's just two words. 404 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: If it was more than two words, Chip would get pissed. 405 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: So it was just like near and far would just 406 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: tell you if you're on the near hash or far hash. 407 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: If you're on the far hash, it's three by one 408 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: to the field. If you're on the near hash, it's 409 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: two by two. Tight end never changes sides, only the 410 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: only the slot receiver. And by the time everybody learned it, 411 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: anybody could play any position. So if you had four 412 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: whiteouts on the field, it's easy because gators one way, 413 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: seminoles the opposite. You know, Lincoln and Ford are two, 414 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: it's it'd be double right sixty two, Sam, Zebra shallow 415 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: cross is just near Lincoln. Like that was it. And 416 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: so once you learn, you know, dagger and blade and um, 417 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how to describe. It is 418 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: so easy. And everything was signaled, so the only person 419 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: I have to communicate to was the running back. And 420 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: the only reason I'd communicate to the running back was 421 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: to give him the play faster than he would get 422 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: it from the signal, so I'd have it in my helmet, 423 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: so I would just grab him and tell him where 424 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: to go, Like just put my hand on his jersey 425 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: and move him over and say, hey, we're going forty. 426 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: You got the mesh, said hut Boom, and handle the ball. 427 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: He doesn't need to know anything else. And so it's 428 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: great when you get in a groove and a rhythm. 429 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: I think there's a place for that, but I think 430 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: we're a little heavy with it because at a certain 431 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: point you get to those critical third downs and you 432 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: can't run the same play every third down. I mean, 433 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators are just too good. So once you stall 434 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: and go three and out and only burn thirty seconds 435 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: on the clock because he just threw it three times, 436 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: there's literally like fights that almost break out on the 437 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: sidelines because the defense gets you the ball back and 438 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: then you just make them go right back on the field. 439 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: They're exhausted and they're like, dude, what's the deal, Like, 440 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: just run the ball once and give us a little 441 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: break here because we're gassed. So it's I think there's 442 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: a place for it. I think he was ahead of 443 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: his time because all these RPOs that's all Chip. I mean, 444 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: that was all Chip. So that kind of stuff, you know, 445 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: you're essentially a second baseman turning two. You got to 446 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: have really quick hands. I talked to sarkas In about 447 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: this and why mac Jones was so good, and he said, 448 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: he's got very quick hands, just like he's turned into 449 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: like a double play. And he also is incredibly accurate 450 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: on balls that are you know, the swing passes, the 451 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: tunnel screens, the quick slants, all that kind of stuff. 452 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: He's a yard in front of the front number. He 453 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: never slows those guys down with the football and leaves 454 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: meat on the bone, essentially prohibits them from getting you know, 455 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: yack yards yards after catch. He's always pushing them into 456 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: the next window, pushing them forward, keeping their momentum going 457 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: forward towards the line of scrimmage, away from the defender. 458 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: That's why he's so deadly. And instead of getting three 459 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: yards or four yards, you're twelve yards. Move the chains, 460 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: let's roll, and the defense is just like head spinning. 461 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: So that's that's what made those things so good and 462 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: so um. It was. Yeah, it was. It was definitely 463 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: ahead of its time. No, I think it was. I mean, listen, 464 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: there's a company before Facebook called Myspaceace went he was 465 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: and then it didn't have the privacy that Facebook did, 466 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: so it had everything right. Rupert Murdoch bought it. Actually, 467 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: he would argue today even though it went under, that 468 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: it served a purpose for what Fox needed. But it 469 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: went under and Facebook was MySpace with better privacy stuff. 470 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: And so I look a lot at Chip Kelly and 471 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: I think basically Chip Kelly just needed a better personnel 472 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: guy and maybe an NFL coordinator to help him situation 473 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: in the red bad. I mean, because he really, if 474 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: you look at so much of his stuff now has 475 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: been stolen by everybody. Um, you know that's the reality 476 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: of it. All right, Let's bring on Mike Silver, formerly 477 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: at Sports Illustrated, now works for the NFL Network and 478 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, and he's very content on Twitter. He 479 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: gets after people. It's too exhausting for me. I have 480 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: a theory that everybody's got a hole. Doesn't matter if 481 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: it's Bezos, read Hastings at Netflix. Everybody's got a hole. 482 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter except us. We are wizards. But Belichick 483 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: has struggled mightily drafting wide receivers. And it's interesting. I've 484 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: had people call me and say, does he or was 485 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: Tom Brady such a perfectionist, that he just wouldn't let 486 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: him develop, and that Edelman took for years. Is that 487 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 1: Tom is the reason. By the way, He's drafted good 488 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, he's drafted good tight ends, he's drafted solid 489 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: running backs. Harris looks good, Sony Michelle. Do you look 490 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: at Belichick and go he can't draft a receiver for 491 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: the life of him, or do you say, guess what 492 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: Brady was the issue at wide receiver because they draft 493 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: everything else pretty good? Oh Man, Scotty Miller looks like 494 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 1: he's developing. Ian I think this is how I see it, 495 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: because again I'm old, so I used to be real 496 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: close with Brady and a lot of people close to him, 497 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: and for six years there was a lot of you know, 498 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's got Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne and among others, 499 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: and is Marcus Pollard. He is setting passing records, and 500 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: Tom has theon branch who's a really nice player, and 501 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: a lot of little mini guys you don't really know, 502 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: like David Gibbons and Troy Brown, and you know he's not. 503 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: We have to win, you know, we win with defense 504 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: and clutch play and field goals. Heaven forbid, we get 505 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: Tom some actual weapons, and then they got Randy Boss, 506 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: Dante Stalworth and Wes Welker, who granted at the time, 507 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: was not concern it or a weapon, and it was like, oh, 508 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: they just set records. It was the best offense we've 509 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: ever seen at He's the MVP. So that would suggest 510 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: that that was a personnel issue. Now, on the other hand, yes, 511 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: Brady is exacting, and you know there may be some 512 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: merit in. If he doesn't trust you, you get buried. 513 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: But I would tend to say that they the Patriots, 514 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: were not exceptionally aggressive what it came to getting elite 515 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: talent at that position. And when they tried to get 516 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: elite talent to kill Harry Chad Jackson, the infamous draft 517 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: pick that you know, you looked at them and said, yeah, 518 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: there's something else wrong. Like in Chad Jackson's case, I 519 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: think he was like a knucklehead, putting it charitably. I 520 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Harry. I haven't been 521 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, we had a year off basically of access, 522 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: so um, but you know, I heard for twelve years 523 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: a very justifiable you know, I went eleven to five 524 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: with Matt Castle and we went three and one with 525 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy and Jacoby Brissette, and that's true. But Tom Brady 526 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: just left with in an offseason designed to make what 527 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: he was specifically doing impossible because he was going to 528 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: a new team with no offseason or preseason, and took 529 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a resounding Super Bowl triumph, 530 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: beating Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick mahomes A logged 531 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: the way while the Patriots flamed out. So I would 532 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: say at this point the any Belichick versus Brady argument 533 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: has skewed a little a little the other way. I'll 534 00:30:53,120 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: just say after twelve years of Matt Castle, by the way, 535 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: Brady was pretty testy on the uniform changed. This may 536 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: I go on a rats here, this is great. There 537 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: was a playoff game. I want to get the year right. 538 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: I think it was I want to say twenty eleven, 539 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have to look this up. But the 540 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: Patriots were losing to the Ravens at home. I think 541 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: maybe it was in Baltimore. Patriots were losing to the Ravens. 542 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: I think it was at home. It was looking bad, 543 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they started running this 544 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: really weird. Formation might have been later than twenty eleven, 545 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: but anyway, Shane Vereen is lined up in the slot 546 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: but he's not eligible, but some other guy is eligible, 547 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: and they're covering Shane Vereen as you would normally cover 548 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: number thirty four in the slot, and the refs. It 549 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: happened fast, and the refs are supposed to slow it 550 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: down at that point and explained every play to John 551 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: Harbon the sidelines. Okay, so this is what they're doing here. 552 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: It's technical, it's remember illegal, but you need to know this. 553 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: And the refs were so caught off guard it like 554 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: Bill found a loophole in the rules, and the refs 555 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: were so caught off guard that they just ran through 556 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: and it turned the game around and the Patriots won 557 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: the playoff game. I'm gonna google the year in a second, 558 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: and I remember such bs And it was technically legal. 559 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: It was more on the refs to have regulated it 560 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: in a way they didn't. But the spirit of it 561 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: I thought was just garbage. And so the irony of 562 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, the recipient of Shane Boreen lining up number 563 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: thirty four ineligible in the slot, is now whining because 564 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: oh no, I'm not gonna knows number seventeen is the 565 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: linebacker or safety? Really, bro like I'm gonna In fact, 566 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: I hope I'm on NFL Network soon. I hope that 567 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: they let me red. I just that is unbelievable to 568 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: be of all humans too wide about this. It is 569 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: amazing that the recipient of that gift from the refs 570 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: of the football gods would be the one to draw 571 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: attention to it is amazing. Let's bring in Chad Millman, 572 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: chief content officer, my friend of the Action Network. I 573 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: want to talk for a second about San Francisco the Niners. 574 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: So the over under is in that like ten win space, 575 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm not betting on the Niners. 576 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm betting on Garoppolo's health, of which three of the 577 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: last four years in the toughest division in football, he's 578 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: hurt by September. And I thought, when I bet the 579 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: ten wins over under on San Francisco, really, I'm just 580 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: betting this. Can he stay healthy because I don't think 581 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: any rookie quarterback in that division is going to flourish 582 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: as a rookie. And so I thought the forty nine Ers, 583 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: if ten's the number, and I'm not sure what you 584 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: think the numbers should be on the forty nine ers. 585 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 1: Give it to me if you think there's a number. 586 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: I actually think that's a great under. Bet your thoughts. 587 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of the Niners, and I 588 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: do think I think ten is the right number. I'm 589 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: seeing a consensus line of ten and a half, so 590 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: I would be comfortable betting the over because of what 591 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: you just said about Garoppolo. Every time he plays, they're 592 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: a good team. Then you have Kyle Shanahan playing with Garoppolo, 593 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: who Shanahan is a master a game planning and scheming. 594 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: You cannot be unimpressed with what he did last season. 595 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes it seemed like he was having more fun playing 596 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 1: third stringers and competing in just about every single game 597 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: then he might have had when they were dominating on 598 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: their way to the super Bowl. Because it plays to 599 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: his strengths of just putting the players out there that 600 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: he wants to that that he has to play, and 601 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: coming up with a scheme that is so good and 602 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: so much better than anyone else he is playing against. 603 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: I thought you saw last year the real delta between 604 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan as a coach and Sean McVay, who had 605 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: been the genius two years prior, because Kyle Shanahan was 606 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: so good with such a depleted roster. And I think 607 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: you get Jimmy g back. I think you get Bosa 608 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: back on the defensive line. I think you're gonna be 609 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: He's They're gonna be a much stronger team. And I 610 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: don't care what the Rams have added. I don't care 611 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: that Matthew Stafford is there now. He is not someone 612 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: who would scare me as someone else in that division. 613 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: I love them in that division. All right. Okay, here's 614 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: the other one, Millman. So the number of the number 615 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: on the Patriots hovers around nine and a half. What 616 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: would it be for you? I've got that. I think 617 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots are at eight, you know. Okay, here we go, 618 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: so here it is. Yeah, Okay, I think it's the 619 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: second best over on the board. Here's why they were 620 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: a play from eight and eight. So people say Cam 621 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: Newton wasn't good. Cam Newton got COVID and the following 622 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: two weeks he was awful down the stretch. He was 623 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: not awful. What has Belichick owned in his career? Young quarterbacks? 624 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 1: TA twice, Zach Wilson twice, and he has given Josh 625 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: Allen fitz cam now gets the second year in a 626 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: system eight players opt in. They have significantly upgraded at 627 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: tight end and at least are better at receiver. This 628 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: is a team that was a play from eighteen eight. 629 00:36:53,320 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: The quarterback got COVID seventeen game schedule. Even if are 630 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: not a super Bowl team, and I do not believe 631 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: they are eleven and six, that's six losses for Belichick 632 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: all the opt ins. He's going to have two essentially 633 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks. He has owned rookie quarterbacks. I love the 634 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: Patriots over Oh my god, this is such a terrible take. 635 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm play some, don't. I listened to 636 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: your brilliant, brilliant segment. I was in the car driving 637 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: which one I'm gonna tell you last week where you 638 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: broke down the value of playing certain teams at certain 639 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: times of the year. Yeah, and that's how you will 640 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: get to your win totals, and that's how you will 641 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: get into the playoffs. I thought, I totally thought it 642 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: was brilliant. I will tell you my fourteen year old 643 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: in the car had some quibbles with it, and we 644 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: could talk about that offline. I don't want to take it. 645 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to take it too deep right here 646 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: criticizing your segment. I thought it was great. You are 647 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: looking at only the positives. Ay, they did significantly upgrade 648 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: at tight end. They got better from being really really 649 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,879 Speaker 1: bad by sending a couple guys who they're probably over 650 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: paying for it. Number one, number two Cam Newton was terrible, terrible, terrible, 651 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: And even when he was better at the end of 652 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: the year, he wasn't more accurate. He wasn't better at 653 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: throwing the ball downfield. He was just scoring a lot 654 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: of touchdowns from inside the five running the ball. Also, 655 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: this defense not very good, not improving. They are middle 656 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: of the pack team in the draft. They are not 657 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: going to get some high profile player who's going to 658 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: save them. Bill Belichick, great coach, can't argue it, but 659 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: he does not have the talent. And don't even talk 660 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: about they got better at wide receiver. They are as 661 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: mediocre at wide receiver as any other team in the NFL. 662 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: They are. They are the definition of average in every 663 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: single way. And basically what you're betting on here, what 664 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: you're betting is that Bill Belichick can coach them to 665 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: two more wins than they otherwise would be expected to get, 666 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: and I don't think he can do that with the 667 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: talent he has in the field in that division. By 668 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: the way, two was a year removed from being a 669 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: rookie fully healthy with a brilliant coach in Brian Flores. 670 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: You can say what you want about Josh Allen. This 671 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: could be a regression to the mean year for the Bills, 672 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 1: but I still think their defense is so much better 673 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: than what they played. Sean McDermott is such a good coach. 674 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: This is a team loaded with playmakers. I am not 675 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: going to bet on the Patriots to come away with 676 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: say five wins in their division, which is what I 677 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: think they would need to get to ten wins. That 678 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: wraps it up for the week before heading into another 679 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: big week here at The Volume.
